  • Unlike aerial images covering small region, satellite data show high potential to detect urban scale geospatial changes. The change detection using satellite images can be carried out using single image or stereo images. The single image approach is based on radiometric differences between two images of different times. It has limitations to detect building level changes when the significant occlusion and relief displacement appear in the images. In contrast, stereo satellite data can be used to generate DSM (Digital Surface Model) that contain information of relief-corrected objects. Therefore, they have high potential for the object change detection. Therefore, we carried out a study for the change detection over an urban area using stereo satellite data of two different times. First, the RPC correction was performed for two DSMs generation via stereo image matching. Then, D-DSM (Differential DSM) was generated by differentiating two DSMs. The D-DSM was used for the topographic change detection and the performance was checked by applying different height thresholds to D-DSM.

  • 세계적으로 500 kg 급 이하의 소형위성에 대한 수요가 늘어남에 따라 전용 소형발사체에 대한 개발과 운용이 크게 증가하고 있다. 소형위성을 원하는 시간에 목표로 하는 궤도에 투입하는 발사체의 신속한 대응성이 주목받고 있으며, 신속한 위성군 구축 측면에서 공중발사 방식에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 소형위성군의 수요가 증가함에 따라 우리나라 및 주변 지리적 환경을 고려하여 공중발사체의 활용가능성에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 대응성 측면에서 공중발사체와 지상 소형 및 대형발사체에 대해 임무 대응시간을 비교, 분석하고, 발사체의 궤도투입 성능 측면에서 공중발사체와 지상 소형발사체를 정량적으로 비교, 분석하였다. 분석결과, 공중발사체는 신속한 위성군 구축 관점에서 우리나라의 경우 실질적인 대응성은 제한되나 상대적으로 빠른 턴어라운드 시간과 낮은 경사각의 궤도 투입 시 효과적인 대안이 될 수 있다. 또한, 궤도투입 성능은 지상 소형발사체의 성능에 근접할 뿐만 아니라 요구 추진제 질량 측면에서 높은 효율성을 나타내어 국내 소형위성군의 궤도투입에 효과적인 발사수단으로 평가된다.

  • In this paper, a pseudorange correction regeneration algorithm was developed to improve the positioning accuracy of DGPS using multi-reference stations, and the optimal minimum number of reference sites was determined by trying out different numbers of reference. This research was conducted using from two to five sites, and positioning errors of less than 1 m were obtained when pseudorange corrections are collected from at least four reference stations and interpolated as the pseudorange correction at the rover. After determining the optimal minimum number of reference stations, the pseudorange correction regeneration algorithm developed was tested by comparison with the performance of other algorithms. Our approach was developed based on an exponential model. If pseudorange corrections are regenerated using an exponential model, the effect of a small difference in the baseline distance can be enlarged. Therefore, weights can be applied sensitively even when the baseline distance differs by a small amount. Also weights on the baseline distance were applied differently by assigning weights depending on the difference of the longest and shortest baselines. Through this method, the positioning accuracy improved by 19% compared to the result of previous studies.

  • We investigate the clustering properties of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at z ~ 4. Using the hierarchical galaxy formation model GALFORM, we predict the angular correlation function (ACF) of LBGs and compare this with the measured ACF from combined survey fields consisting of the Hubble eXtreme Deep Field (XDF) and CANDELS. We find that the predicted ACF is in a good agreement with the measured ACFs. However, when we divide the model LBGs into bright and faint subset, the predicted ACFs are less consistent with observations. We quantify the dependence of clustering on luminosity and show that the fraction of satellite LBGs is important for determining the amplitude of ACF at small scales. We find that central LBGs predominantly reside in ${\sim}10^{11}h^{-1}M_{solar}$ haloes and satellites reside in haloes of mass ${\sim}10^{12}-10^{13}h^{-1}M_{solar}$. The model predicts fewer bright satellite LBGs than is inferred from the observation. LBGs in the tails of the redshift distribution contribute significant additional clustering signal, especially on small scales. This spurious clustering may affect the interpretation of the halo occupation distribution, including the minimum halo mass and abundance of satellite LBGs.

  • In these days, mobile application dealing with information contents on mobile or handheld devices such as mobile communicator, PDA or WAP device face the most important industrial needs. The motivation of this study is the design and implementation of mobile application using high resolution satellite imagery, large-sized image data set. Although major advantages of mobile devices are portability and mobility to users, limited system resources such as small-sized memory, slow CPU, low power and small screen size are the main obstacles to developers who should handle a large volume of geo-based 3D model. Related to this, the previous works have been concentrated on GIS-based location awareness services on mobile; however, the mobile 3D terrain model, which aims at this study, with the source data of DEM (Digital Elevation Model) and high resolution satellite imagery is not considered yet, in the other mobile systems. The main functions of 3D graphic processing or pixel pipeline in this prototype are implemented with OpenGL|ES (Embedded System) standard API (Application Programming Interface) released by Khronos group. In the developing stage, experiments to investigate optimal operation environment and good performance are carried out: TIN-based vertex generation with regular elevation data, image tiling, and image-vertex texturing, text processing of Unicode type and ASCII type.

  • 디지털 방송 서비스는 위성 서비스를 시작으로 지상파와 케이블 방송으로 확산되고 있는 실정이다. 아날로그 방송에서 디지털로 변함에 따라 다채널화, 고품질화, 다기능의 서비스를 가능하게 하고 있으며, 새로운 형태의 비지니스를 창출해 내고 있다. CAS는 디지털 방송 콘텐츠의 불법적인 사용자의 접근을 방지하기 위한 기술로 1990년대 초반부터 유럽 및 미국의 디지털 위성 방송 서비스에 적용되던 것이 국내에서는 2002년에 디지털 위성방송 서비스에 적용되었다. DRM은 CAS와 달리 디지털 콘텐츠 자체의 지적 자산과 저작권을 보호하는 기술이다. 본 논문은 DRM 기술을 CAS와 별도로 구성하는 것이 아니라 CAS의 기존 체계에 DRM 중 몇 가지 요구사항을 적용한 시스템 설계를 제안한다. 이는 소규모 방송 사업자 용 CAS 시스템에 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • We propose a small active antenna to receive Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals, i.e., Global Positioning System (GPS) L1 (1,575MHz) and Russian Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) L1 (1,600 MHz) signals. A two-stage low-noise amplifier (LNA) with more than 27 dB gain is implemented in the bottom layer of a three-layer antenna package. In addition, a hybrid coupler is used to combine signals from pair of proximately coupled orthogonal feeds with $90^{\circ}$ phase difference to achieve the circular polarization (CP) characteristic. Three layers of high permittivity (${\varepsilon}_r=10$) substrates are stacked and effectively integrated to have a small dimension of $64mm{\times}64mm{\times}7.42mm$ (including both circuit and antenna). The reflection coefficient of the fabricated antenna at the target frequency is below -10 dB, the measured antenna gain is above 26 dBic and the measured noise figure is less than 1.4 dB.

  • 저궤도 인공위성에 사용되는 태양전력 조절기는 태양전지의 영향으로 일반적인 DC-DC 컨버터와는 다른 소신호 특성을 갖는다. 이로 인하여 벅-부스트 형 태양전력 조절기는 태양전지의 전류원 영역에서 평균전류모드제어가 불가능하다. 이 논문에서는 벅-부스트 형 태양전력 조절기를 의사-연속전류모드로 동작시켜 태양전지의 전 영역에서 태양전력조절기를 평균전류모드 단일 제어한다. 우선 의사-연속전류모드 벅-부스트 형 태양전력 조절기의 회로 동작을 설명하고, 소신호 전달함수를 구하고 이를 바탕으로 평균전류모드제어기를 구성한다. 최종적으로 모의실험을 통하여 의사-연속전류모드 벅-부스트 형 태양전력 조절기의 평균모드제어를 검증한다.

  • Building segmentation using satellite imagery such as EO (Electro-Optical) and SAR (Synthetic-Aperture Radar) images are widely used due to their various uses. EO images have the advantage of having color information, and they are noise-free. In contrast, SAR images can identify the physical characteristics and geometrical information that the EO image cannot capture. This paper proposes a learning framework for efficient building segmentation that consists of a teacher-student-based privileged knowledge distillation and deformable convolution block. The teacher network utilizes EO and SAR images simultaneously to produce richer features and provide them to the student network, while the student network only uses EO images. To do this, we present objective functions that consist of Kullback-Leibler divergence loss and knowledge distillation loss. Furthermore, we introduce deformable convolution to avoid pixel-level noise and efficiently capture hard samples such as small and thin buildings at the global level. Experimental result shows that our method outperforms other methods and efficiently captures complex samples such as a small or narrow building. Moreover, Since our method can be applied to various methods.

  • Ground subsidence in urban areas is mainly caused by anthropogenic factors such as excessive groundwater extraction and underground infrastructure development in the subsurface composed of soft materials. Global Navigation Satellite System data with high temporal resolution have been widely used to measure surface displacements accurately. However, these point-based terrestrial measurements with the low spatial resolution are somewhat limited in observing two-dimensional continuous surface displacements over large areas. The synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) technique can construct relatively high spatial resolution surface displacement information with accuracy ranging from millimeters to centimeters. Although constellation operations of SAR satellites have improved the revisit cycle, the temporal resolution of space-based observations is still low compared to in-situ observations. In this study, we evaluate the extraction of a time-series of surface displacement in Incheon Metropolitan City, South Korea, using the small baseline subset technique implemented using the commercial software, Gamma. For this purpose, 24 COSMO-SkyMed X-band SAR observations were collected from July 12, 2011, to August 27, 2012. The time-series surface displacement results were improved by reducing random phase noise, correcting residual phase due to satellite orbit errors, and mitigating nonlinear atmospheric phase artifacts. The perpendicular baseline of the collected COSMO-SkyMed SAR images was set to approximately 2-300 m. The surface displacement related to the ground subsidence was detected approximately 1 cm annually around a few Incheon Subway Line 2 route stations. The sufficient coherence indicates that the satellite orbit has been precisely managed for the interferometric processing.
