This paper presents an algorithm that automatically extracts buildings among many different features on the earth surface by fusing LIDAR data with panchromatic aerial images. The proposed algorithm consists of three stages such as point level process, polygon level process, parameter space level process. At the first stage, we eliminate gross errors and apply a local maxima filter to detect building candidate points from the raw laser scanning data. After then, a grouping procedure is performed for segmenting raw LIDAR data and the segmented LIDAR data is polygonized by the encasing polygon algorithm developed in the research. At the second stage, we eliminate non-building polygons using several constraints such as area and circularity. At the last stage, all the polygons generated at the second stage are projected onto the aerial stereo images through collinearity condition equations. Finally, we fuse the projected encasing polygons with edges detected by image processing for refining the building segments. The experimental results showed that the RMSEs of building corners in X, Y and Z were 8.1cm, 24.7cm, 35.9cm, respectively.

Topographic mapping from economic SPOT stereo imagery than aerial photographs has become possible. Many of authors have studied the possibility of base map revisions and the accuracy of results. They have concluded that the SPOT image is suitable for 1/50,000 to 1/100,000 topographic map. For topographic map, orthophoto and DTM generation from SPOT imagery, accurate exterior orientation parameters are needed. But since the geometric characteristic of SPOT image is dynamic linear array imagery, the conventional bundle adjustment for photogrammetry can not be directly applied. Reliability is the ability to detect gross error, which is called the internal reliability, and the effect of non-detectable gross error on the results of exterior orientation, which is called the external reliability. This paper shows how the reliability of SPOT imagery depends on the different coordinate systems, presentations of coordinate for flight direction, orders of exterior orientation parameters and distribution of control points, and thus analyses the theoretical reliability of the exterior orientation, which can provide a basis for the planning of SPOT projects.

The Spatial Image contents of Geomorphology 3-D environment is focused by the requirement and importance in the fields such as, national land development plan, telecommunication facility management, railway construction, general construction engineering, Ubiquitous city development, safety and disaster prevention engineering. The currently used DEM system using contour lines, which embodies geographic information based on the 2-D digital maps and facility information has limitation in implementation in reproducing the 3-D spatial city. Moreover, this method often neglects the altitude of the rail way infrastructure which has narrow width and long length. This As the results, We confirmed the solutions of varieties application for railway facilities management using 3-D spatial image contents and database design. Also, I suggested that U-city using topographical modeling about matching methods of high density elevation value using 3-D aerial photo with laser data are best approach for detail stereo modeling and simulation. There for of this, Using of rapid spatial information generation by various images and laser data through matching methods for the make of Spatial data base management inplementation are very powerful and much application of our life and real worlds.

Utilization and demand of UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) for the generation of 3D city model are increasing. In this study, we performed an experiment to adjustment position/orientation of UAV with incomplete attitude information and to extract point cloud data. In order to correct the attitude of the UAV, the rotation angle was calculated by using the continuous position information of UAV movements. Based on this, the corrected position/orientation information was obtained by applying IBA (Incremental Bundle Adjustment) based on photogrammetry. Each pair was transformed into an epipolar image, and the MDR (Multi-Dimensional Relaxation) technique was applied to obtain high precision DSM. Each extracted pair is aggregated and output in the form of a single point cloud or DSM. Using the DJI inspire1 and Phantom4 images, we can confirm that the point cloud can be extracted which expresses the railing of the building clearly. In the future, research will be conducted on improving the matching performance and establishing sensor models of oblique images. After that, we will continue the image processing technology for the generation of the 3D city model through the study of the extraction of 3D cloud It should be developed.

The ground positions and elevations information called DEMs(Digital Elevation Models) which are extracted from the stereo aerial photographs and/or satellite images using image matching method have the natural errors caused by variant environments. This study suggests the method to evaluate DEMs using correlation values between the reference and the target DEMs. This would be strongly helpful for experts to correct these errors. To evaluate the whole area of DEMs in the horizontal and vertical errors, the target cell is matched for each reference cell using the correlation values of these two cells. When the target cell is matched for each reference cell, horizontal and vertical error was calculated so as to help experts to recognize a certain area of DEMs which should be corrected and edited. If the correlation value is low and tile difference in height is high, the target cell will be candidated as changed or corrupted cell. When the area is clustered with those candidated cells, that area will be regarded as changed or corrupted area to be corrected and edited. Using this method, the evaluation for all DEM cells is practicable, the horizontal errors as well as vertical errors is calculable and the changed or corrupted area can be detected more efficiently.

Mapping applications using satellite imagery have been possible to quantitative analysis since SPOT satellite with stereo image was launched. Especially, high resolution satellite imagery was efficiently used in the field of digital mapping for the areas which are difficult to produce large-scale maps by aerial photogrammetry or carry out ground control point surveying due to unaccessibility. This study extracted the geospatial information out of consideration for topographic characteristic from ortho imagery of the National Geospatial-intelligence Agency(NGA) in the United States of America and analyzed the accuracy of plane coordinate for ortho imagery. For this purpose, the accuracy according to topographic character by comparison between both extraction data from ortho imagery and the digital topographic maps of 1:5000 scale which were produced by Korea National Geographic Information Institute(NGI) was evaluated. It is expected that the results of this study will be fully used as basic information for ground control point acquisition or digital mapping in unaccessible area.
