One of the major problems comparing the old map, Daedongyojido, with modern maps in order to measure the spatial error of the map it a projection of the modern map selected. This study focuses on the map projection of Daedongyojido. Three different approaches are used: comparing the spatial pattern of Daedongyojido with maps of different projection, examining materials related to old maps and books which were written by Jeongho Kim directly or indirectly, and the data sets which were available at the mid nineteenth century and could be used for map production. A couple of map projections are possible to that of Daedongyojido, but TM(Transverse Mercator) projection is one of the closest projections.

Small-scale maps currently used are made by scanning and editing printed maps and its shortcoming is accumulated errors at the time of editing and low accuracy. TM projection method is used but its accuracy varies. In addition, small-scale maps are made without consideration of usability and compatibility with other scale maps. Therefore, it is necessary to suggest projection and coordinates system improvement methods in consideration of usability and compatibility between data. The results of this study reveal that in order to make the optimum small-scale map, projection that fits the purpose of map usage in each scale, coordinate system and neat line composition should be selected in consideration of interrelation and compatibility with other maps. Conic projection should be used to accurately illustrate the entire country, but considering usability and compatibility with other maps, traversing cylindrical projection should be used instead of conic projection. For coordinates system of the small-scale map, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM-K) based on the World Geodetic System should be used instead of conventional longitude and latitude coordinate system or Transverse Mercator.

Although the Transverse Mercator(TM) coordinate is used on standard topogrphic maps of Korea as a supplement to regular latitude-longitude coordinate, the use of this TM coordinate system is rather limited to a single coordinate zone that spans only two degrees of longitude. With growing applications of a variety of digiral geographic data, such as satellite remote sensor data, a Cartesian or rectangular coordinate system is more effective to deal with such data type than angular coordinate system. An unified rectangular coordinate system based on the Transverse Mercator projection is designed to cover the whole area of the Korea Peninsula as a single coordinate zone. Considering the width of the peninsula and the distribution of scale error, the origin of the coordinate is determined to 127$^{\circ}$30' east and 38$^{\circ}$ north. Coordinate conversion procedure is discussed along with the corresponding scale error term.

We present an analysis of urban development and growth with reconnaissance satellite photographs of Columbus metropolitan area acquired by the Corona program in 1965. A two-dimensional polynomial linear transformation was used to rectify the photos against United State Geological Survey (USGS) Large-scale Digital Line Graph (DLG) data georeferenced to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. The boundaries of the Columbus metropolitan area were extracted from the rectified Corona image mosaic using a Bayesian approach to image segmentation. The inferred 1965 urban boundaries were compared with 1976 USGS Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) data and boundaries derived from 1988 and 1994 Landsat TM images. The urban area in and around Columbus approximately doubled from 1965 to 1994 (${\sim}110%$) along with population growth from 1960 to 1998 (${\sim}50%$). Most of the urban expansion results from development of residential units.

Projection has been used in order to indicate the horizontal position of triangulation stations which had been existed on the earth surface. In our country, the plane Rectangular coordinate of the triangulation station is computed by means of Gauss Double projection. But it proves to contain many errors according to the difference in Latitude and longitude. Therefore, in this study Transverse Mercator projection which is known to contain less error than Gauss Double projection in an applied region is introduced, and the results obtain by two these projections and the value today in our country are compared and analysed. when an another plane Rectangular Coordinate system is added to the present 3-plane Rectangular Coordinate system, there is an object inshowing the best position.

인공위성을 이용한 가뭄연구에는 전지구적으로 운용되는 GPM (Global Precipitation Measurement) 위성, AQUA/TERRA 위성의 MODIS (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) 센서 등에서 수집된 관측 자료가 이용된다. 그러나 전지국적으로 관측된 위성 자료는 자료를 생산 제공하는 기관에 따라 자료의 파일포맷 (NetCDF, HDF5, GeoTIFF 등), 자료의 투영법 (projection) 등이 상이하다. 그러므로 가뭄연구에 다중위성자료를 활용하고자 하는 지리정보시스템(Geographic Information System: GIS)에 대한 전문지식이 부족한 연구자는 자료의 표준화 (파일포맷과 투영변환 등) 과정으로 인해 원활한 연구수행이 어렵다. MODIS 위성자료의 경우에는 일반적으로 많이 사용되는 횡단메르카토르 도법 (Transverse Mercator Projection: TM) 대신 시뉴소이드 도법 (sinusoidal projection)을 이용한다. 그래서 미국 지질조사국은 MODIS 자료의 재투영(reprojection)을 위한 전용 소프트웨어인 MRT (MODIS Reprojection Tool)를 배포하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 무료/오픈소스 소프트웨어를 활용하여 시뉴소이드 도법이 적용된 MODIS 자료의 수집, 재투영, 파일포맷 변환 등을 자동으로 처리하는 기법을 개발하여 가뭄활용에 이용하고자 하였으며, MODIS MOD09GA/MOD11A1 자료를 이용하여 효율성을 검증하였다.

The main purpose of this investigation is to make up for the limitations of parcel addressing and to seek the application plan of cadastral triangulation point to effective installation of national index numbers. The test-bed has been constructed at the mountainous area located in Nowon-gu, seven cadastral triangulation points within the test-bed was directly applied to this investigation. Each points have been firstly converted from a plane rectangular coordinates to a single plane rectangular coordinates (UTM-K). To verify positioning results achieved from these points, a single plane rectangular coordinates through the Network-RTK was considered. With regards to verification result, maximum coordinate shift was revealed by 6 cm, this level of difference can be satisfied to Article 7, paragraph 2 "the regulation for National Index Number". This means that coordinate transformation applied with cadastral triangulation points can achieve the sastisfied result without local surveying. And also, remarkable effects have been created in terms of financial effectiveness and safe preservation of cadastral triangulation points due to the omission of local surveying.

Recently, the single plane coordinate system which has one origin is required to create and manage continuous geographic framework data of entire Korean peninsula. For this, UTM-K (Univercial Transverse Mercator-K) was established in 2005. In this paper, the level of distortion was analyzed with respect to the central meridian and scale factor of UTM-K. The latitude and longitude values of the center point of 1/25000 scale digital maps were used for calculating the scale factor which was created by projection and the scale factor was used for index that presents the degree of distortion. As a result, accumulated distortion of scale factor by UTM-K map projection showed about $23.744{\times}10^{-2}$. On the other hand, the minimum distortion which was about $5.1435{\times}10^{-2}$ occurred when central meridian is $127^{\circ}\;42'$ and scale factor of central meridian was 0.99994 respectively.

The national coordinate system is an essential component for a geographic/land information system, since it provides the spatial reference for expressing position information. The national mapping of Korea has been based on 3-different meridians on the Gauss-Schreiber projection in year 1910s, later this was changed to the Gauss-Kruger projection. Existing map coordinate systems maintaining the national land survey project on 1910s, have some structural shortcomings of unknown computational procedures and projection methods. In this paper, the problems of the map coordinates usage and of longitudes origin shift(10.405") and their solutions are investigated. Also, this study discusses the issues involved in choosing coordinate system for digital mapping and their applications as a basis for spatial data management. The foreign country's coordinate systems are reviewed and the elements to realize a new unified grid coordinate system is proposed. The Transverse Mercator projection with a central meridian of $127^\circ\;30'$, scale factor 0.9996, and GRS80 ellipsoid, is selected in Korean peninsula.sula.

In this study, a technique for estimating water surface velocity fields in the Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system using the GPS information of a propagating drone but not ground control points is developed. First, we determine the image direction in which the upper side of an image is directed based on the navigation information of the drone. Subsequently, we assign the start and end frames of the video used and determine the analysis range. Using these two frames, we segment the measurement cross-section into a few subsections at regular intervals. At these subsections, we analyze 30 frame images to create spatio-temporal volumes for calculating the velocity fields. The results of the developed method (propagating drone surface image velocimetry) are compared with those of the existing method (hovering drone surface image velocimetry), and relatively good agreement is indicated between both in terms of the velocity fields.
