Various geological thematic maps such as grain size or ground water level maps have been generated by interpolating sparsely sampled ground survey data. When there are sampled data at a limited number of locations, to use secondary information which is correlated to primary variable can help us to estimate the attribute values of the primary variable at unsampled locations. This paper applies two multivariate geostatistical algorithms to integrate remote sensing imagery with sparsely sampled ground survey data for spatial estimation of grain size: simple kriging with local means and kriging with an external drift. High-resolution IKONOS imagery which is well correlated with the grain size is used as secondary information. The algorithms are evaluated from a case study with grain size observations measured at 53 locations in the Baramarae beach of Anmyeondo, Korea. Cross validation based on a one-leave-out approach is used to compare the estimation performance of the two multivariate geostatistical algorithms with that of traditional ordinary kriging.

This paper describes a data fusion method for high spatial resolution satellite imagery. The pixels located around an object edge have spectral mixing because of the geometric primitive of pixel. The larger a size of pixel is, the wider an area of spectral mixing is. The intensity of pixels adjacent edges were modified by the spectral characteristics of the pixels located inside of objects. The methods developed in this study were tested using IKONOS Multispectral and Pan data of a part of Jeju-shi in Korea. The test application shows that the spectral information of the pixels adjacent edges were improved well.

위성영상을 이용하여 지형도를 제작하는 새로운 방법으로 레이다 간섭기법에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 레이다 간섭기법은 동일한 지역을 촬영한 두 장의 SAR 영상의 위상정보를 이용하여 표고값을 추출하는 기법으로, 기존의 SPOT과 같은 광학영상에 비하여 날씨나 시간의 제약을 받지 않고 지형정보를 얻을 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 즉, 영상취득의 유연성이 뛰어나며 광범위한 면적에 대하여 저렴한 표고데이터 추출이 가능하여 GIS에서의 활용 가능성 또한 밝다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 레이다 간섭기법은 SAR 시스템에 따라 발생하는 기하학적 왜곡으로 인해 일부지역에 대해서는 위상불구속화 알고리즘에 따라 표고값이 잘못 추정되거나 아예 그값을 얻지 못하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서 사용한 ERS 텐덤자료의 경우에는 산악지형에서의 수직위치 정확도가 가장 부정확했으며, 기하학적 왜곡으로는 ERS 위성의 짧은 입사각으로 인한 layover 현상이 주로 발행하였다. 위상불고속화 기법별로는 경로추적방식 알고리즘을 사용했을 경우, 산출된 표고값의 정확도는 최소제곱방식을 수행했을 경우보다 2∼5m 가량 우수하였으나 기하학적 왜곡이 발생한 지역에서의 데이터를 얻지 못하는 결과를 보였다. 이 지역에 대하여 고도민감도를 이용하여 표고값을 추정한 결과 경로추적방식의 정확도를 유지하면서 전체 영상에 대하여 표고값을 갖는 DEM을 제작할 수 있었다.

An efficient method for the unsupervised classification of high resolution imagery is suggested in this paper. It employs pixel-linking and merging based on the adjacency graph. The proposed algorithm uses the neighbor lines of 8 directions to include information in spatial proximity. Two approaches are suggested to employ neighbor lines in the linking. One is to compute the dissimilarity measure for the pixel-linking using information from the best lines with the smallest non. The other is to select the best directions for the dissimilarity measure by comparing the non-homogeneity of each line in the same direction of two adjacent pixels. The resultant partition of pixel-linking is segmented and classified by the merging based on the regional and spectral adjacency graphs. This study performed extensive experiments using simulation data and a real high resolution data of IKONOS. The experimental results show that the new approach proposed in this study is quite effective to provide segments of high quality for object-based analysis and proper land-cover map for high resolution imagery of urban area.

Forests have been considered one of the most important ecosystems on the earth, affecting the lives and environment. The sustainable forest management requires accurate and timely information of forest and tree parameters. Appropriately interpreted remotely sensed imagery can provide quantitative data for deriving forest information temporally and spatially. Especially, analysis of individual tree detection and crown delineation is significant issue, because individual trees are basic units for forest management. Individual trees in aerial imagery have reflectance characteristics according to tree species, crown shape and hierarchical status. This study suggested a method that identified individual trees and delineated crown boundaries through adopting gradient method algorithm to amplified greenness data using red and green band of aerial imagery. The amplification of specific band value improved possibility of detecting individual trees, and gradient method algorithm was performed to apply to identify individual tree tops. Additionally, tree crown boundaries were explored using spectral intensity pattern created by geometric characteristic of tree crown shape. Finally, accuracy of result derived from this method was evaluated by comparing with the reference data about individual tree location, number and crown boundary acquired by visual interpretation. The accuracy ($\hat{K}$) of suggested method to identify individual trees was 0.89 and adequate window size for delineating crown boundaries was $19{\times}19$ window size (maximum crown size: 9.4m) with accuracy ($\hat{K}$) at 0.80.

정사투영사진지도는 지형도와 동일한 축척을 지니면서도 사진의 형태로 표현되므로 현장감이 양호할 뿐만 아니라 판독이 용이하여 차세대의 지형도로 이용될 가능성이 매우 크다. 또한 수치형태의 정사투영영상은 현재 널리 응용되고 있는 지형공간정보체계의 격자형 기본 지형정보자료로 이용가능 하므로 그 효용성이 매우 크다. 본 연구에서는 프랑스의 SPOT 위성으로부터 취득한 수치영상자료를 이용하여 정사투영사진지도를 제작하는 방안을 연구하였다. 정사투영사진지도를 제작하기 위해서는 수치표고모형과 원영상을 이용하여 정사투영영상을 생성하는 과정이 요구되며 이를 수치미분편위수정이라고 한다. 수치미분편위수정 방법에 있어서는 수치표고모형의 정확도가 최종적인 정사투영사진지도의 정확도를 좌우하게 되므로 정확하고 효율적인 수치표고모형의 생성방법이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 SPOT 위성영상으로부터 수치표고모형을 직접 생성하는 방안을 연구하였고, 이를 이용하여 정사투영영상을 생성하여 등고선을 중첩시키므로서 간단한 형태의 정사투영사진지도를 제작하는 방안을 제시하였다.

To make use of surveying data obtained from different sensors and different techniques in a common reference frame, it is a pre-requite step to register them in a common coordinate system. For this purpose, we have developed a methodology to register IKONOS-2 Satellite Imagery using ALS data. To achieve this, conjugate features from these data should be extracted in advance. In the study, linear features are chosen as conjugate features because they can be accurately extracted from man-made structures in urban area, and more easily than point features from ALS data. Then, observation equations are established from similarity measurements of the extracted features. During the process, considering the characteristics of systematic errors in IKONOS-2 satellite imagery, the transformation function were selected and used. In addition, we also analyzed how the number of linear features and their spatial distribution used as control features affect the accuracy of registration. Finally, the results were evaluated statistically and the results clearly demonstrated that the proposed algorithms are appropriate to register these data.

The aim of this study is to suggest an optimal survey method for coastal habitat monitoring around Weno Island in Chuuk Atoll, Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). This study was carried out to compare and analyze differences between in situ survey (PHOTS) and high spatial satellite imagery (Worldview-2) with regard to the coastal habitat distribution patterns of Weno Island. The in situ field data showed the following coverage of habitat types: sand 42.4%, seagrass 26.1%, algae 14.9%, rubble 8.9%, hard coral 3.5%, soft coral 2.6%, dead coral 1.5%, others 0.1%. The satellite imagery showed the following coverage of habitat types: sand 26.5%, seagrass 23.3%, sand + seagrass 12.3%, coral 18.1%, rubble 19.0%, rock 0.8% (Accuracy 65.2%). According to the visual interpretation of the habitat map by in situ survey, seagrass, sand, coral and rubble distribution were misaligned compared with the satellite imagery. While, the satellite imagery appear to be a plausible results to identify habitat types, it could not classify habitat types under one pixel in images, which in turn overestimated coral and rubble coverage, underestimated algae and sand. The differences appear to arise primarily because of habitat classification scheme, sampling scale and remote sensing reflectance. The implication of these results is that satellite imagery analysis needs to incorporate in situ survey data to accurately identify habitat. We suggest that satellite imagery must correspond with in situ survey in habitat classification and sampling scale. Subsequently habitat sub-segmentation based on the in situ survey data should be applied to satellite imagery.

Satellite imagery may contain large regions covered with atmospheric aerosol. A high-resolution satellite imagery affected by non-homogenous aerosol cover should be processed for land cover study and perform the radiometric calibration that will allow its future application for Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT) data. In this study, aerosol signal was separated from high resolution satellite data based on the reflectance separation method. Since aerosol removal has a good sensitivity over bright surface such as man-made targets, aerosol optical thickness (AOT) retrieval algorithm could be used. AOT retrieval using Look-up table (LUT) approach for utilizing the transformed image to radiometrically compensate visible band imagery is processed and tested in the correction of satellite scenery. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), EO-1/HYPERION data have been used for aerosol correction and AOT retrieval with different spatial resolution. Results show that an application of the aerosol detection for HYPERION data yields successive aerosol separation from imagery and AOT maps are consistent with MODIS AOT map.
