DEM은 도시계획, 도로건설 계획, 수해지역 예측 등의 많은 분야에서 다양하게 활용되고 있다. 특히 홍수와 같은 하천재해를 분석, 관리하기 위한 유출모형 적용 때 중요한 입력 자료로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 현재 우리나라에서 사용되는 DEM 제작방법은 과정이 복잡하고 자료 전환이 불가피하며 적용범위에 있어서도 제약이 따른다. 따라서 기존에 사용되던 방법들의 한계를 극복할 수 있는 정확한 DEM 생성 방법으로 위성영상을 이용하는 연구 및 기술개발이 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 현재 널리 사용되고 있는 DEM 생성 알고리즘을 ASTER 위성 영상에 적용하여 추출한 DEM의 정확도를 평가하고자 하였다. 정확도 평가는 USGS DEM을 사용하였으며, 그 결과 정사보정의 RMSE는 6개의 GCP에서 2 화소에 수렴하였고, 구름영역에서 고도값이 실제 지형보다 높게 나타났다. 또한, 금강 유역의 북동쪽으로 발달된 능선의 고도값은 ASTER DEM이 USGS DEM에 비해 과소평가 되었지만 영상 왼쪽에 위치한 분지는 평활한 지역으로 ASTER DEM과 USGS EM과의 차이가 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 산림 지역 등 능선의 고도값은 ASTER DEM이 USGS DEM에 비해 과소평가 되었지만, 분지 등 평탄 지역의 DEM은 차이가 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다.

최근 수자원분야에서 원격탐사(RS) 및 지형정보시스템(GIS)의 비중이 높아짐에 따라 이를 이용하여 1,2 차원 수리분석 향상을 위한 활용이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 현재 사용하고 있는 일반적인 DEM은 하천부분에 대한 고도의 불일치로 인해 수리분석시 정밀한 분석을 하기에는 어려움이 따르므로 이에 대한 개선이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 현재 사용하고 있는 USGS DEM과 낙동강 측량 자료를 이용하여 낙동강 유역 정밀 DEM 제작 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 측량자료를 이용하여 하천의 DEM을 생성한 후, 자체적으로 개발한 알고리즘을 이용하여 하천 DEM과 USGS DEM을 접합하여 낙동강 유역의 정밀 DEM을 제작한다. 이는 1,2차원 수리모델을 이용하여 분석할 때 결과를 더욱 향상시킬 것으로 기대한다.

최근 도심지역이 급변하고 고해상도 위성영상의 보급이 증가함에 따라 고해상도 위성영상을 이용한 수치표고모델과 정사영상 생성에 관한 연구가 활발해 지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 IKONOS, SPOT5, QUICKBIRD, KOMPSAT2 위성영상을 이용하여 DEM 과 정사영상을 생성하였으며 USGS DTED 와 기준점을 이용하여 결과의 정확도를 비교 분석하였다. 보다 정확한 DEM 생성을 위해 자동 피라미드 알고리즘을 적용하고 영상 정합시 에피폴라 기하학을 적용하였다. 정사 영상 생성시 DTED 높이값을 이용하여 보정을 수행하였으며 생성 속도를 높이기 위하여 리샘플링 그리드를 적용하였다. 본 연구에서 DEM 과 정사영상 생성시 QUICKBIRD 와 SPOT5 의 경우 영상의 용량이 매우 커 메모리 부족문제와 알고리즘 수행 속도 저하가 발생함을 확인하였다. 이를 개선하기 위하여 DEM 생성시 정합 후보점의 개수를 줄이는 알고리즘을 고안하여 기존에 메모리 문제로 생성하지 못했던 QUICKBIRD와 SPOT5 의 DEM 을 생성하였으며 정사 영상 생성시 리샘플링 그리드를 적용하여 고해상도 정상영상 생성 속도 개선에 상당한 효과를 가져왔다. 그러나 고해상도 위성 영상의 용량이 점점 커져감에 따라 이러한 메모리 문제와 처리 속도 저하에 관한 문제는 추후 계속적으로 연구되어야 할 부분이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 생성한 IKONOS, SPOT5, QUICKBIRD DEM 의 정확도를 USGS DTED 와 비교한 결과 13${\sim}$15 m 정도의 RMS 높이 오차가 산출되었으며 생성된 IKONOS, QUICKBIRD, KOMPSAT2 정사영상을 기준점과 비교한 결과 3 m 정도의 거리오차가 산출되었음을 확인하였다.

This paper focused on generation of more accurate DEM and analysis of accuracy. For this, we applied suitable sensor modeling technique for each satellite image and automatic pyramid matching using image pyramid was applied. Matching algorithm based on epipolarity and scene geometry also was applied for stereo matching. IKONOS, Quickbird, SPOT-5, Kompsat-2 were used for experiments. In particular, we applied orbit-attitude sensor modeling technique for Kompsat-2 and performed DEM generation successfully. All DEM generated show good quality. Assessment was carried out using USGS DTED and we also compared between DEM generated in this research and DEM generated from common software. All DEM had $9m{\sim}12m$ Mean Absolute Error and $13m{\sim}16m$ RMS Error. Experimental results show that the DEMs of good performance which is similar to or better than result of DEMs generated from common software.

Research of accurate DEM generation using images of Kompsat-2 is not enough. This paper focused on generation of accurate Kompsat-2 DEM and comparison with DEM from common software like PCI Geomatica and ENVI. For Kompsat-2 DEM generation, we applied orbit-attitude sensor modeling technique and matching method based on epipolarity and image geometry. The comparison of performance with each commercial programs made a qualitative experiment through naked eyes and a quantitative experiment with USGS DTED. The accuracy was judged by the average absolute error and RMS error with DIED. The result of comparison experiment, we could confirm that the method used in the experiment showed much better performance than DEM made from other commercial programs in most of images.

In this study we applied a DEM generation algorithm developed in-house to satellite images at various resolution and discussed the results. We tested SPOT images at l0m resolution, EOC images at 6.6m and IKONOS images at 1m resolution. These images include the same urban area in Daejeon city. For camera model, we used Gupta & Hartley's(1997) DLT model for all three image sets. We carried out accuracy assessment using USGS DTED for SPOT and EOC and 23 check points for IKONOS. The assessment showed that SPOT DEM had about 38m RMS error, EOC DEM 12m RMS error and IKONOS DEM 6.5m RMS error. In terms of image resolution, SPOT and EOC DEM error corresponds to 2∼4 pixels where as IKONOS DEM error 6∼7pixels. IKONOS DEM contains more errors in pixels. However, in IKONOS DEM, individual buildings, apartments and major roads are identifiable. All three DEMs contained errors due to height discontinuity, occlusion and shadow. These experiments show that our algorithm can generate urban DEM from 1m resolution and that, however, we need to improve the algorithm to minimize effects of occlusion and building shadows on DEMs.

NASA, NSF and USGS jointly conducted airborne LIDAR surveys to acquire numerous surface points with high densities over the Antarctic Dry Valleys and its vicinity, The huge set of these points retains two characteristics undesirable for DEM generation, which are unusually high blunder ratio and large variation of the local point densities. Hence, in order to not only reduce the undesirable effects due to these characteristics but also process the huge number of points within reasonable limits of time and resources, we developed an efficient, robust, nearly automatic approach to DEM generation. This paper reports about the application of this approach to generating high-resolution precise DEMs from the Antarctic LIDAR surveys and the evaluation of their accuracy.

Cross-interferometic synthetic aperture radar (CInSAR) technique from ERS-2 and Envisat images is capable of generating submeter-accuracy digital elevation model (DEM). However, it is very difficult to produce high-quality CInSAR-derived DEM due to the difference in the azimuth and range pixel size between ERS-2 and Envisat images as well as the small height ambiguity of CInSAR interferogram. In this study, we have proposed an efficient method to overcome the problems, produced a high-quality DEM over northern Alaska, and compared the CInSAR-derived DEM with the national elevation dataset (NED) DEM from U.S. Geological Survey. In the proposed method, azimuth common band filtering is applied in the radar raw data processing to mitigate the mis-registation due to the difference in the azimuth and range pixel size, and differential SAR interferogram (DInSAR) is used for reducing the unwrapping error occurred by the high fringe rate of CInSAR interferogram. Using the CInSAR DEM, we have identified and corrected man-made artifacts in the NED DEM. The wave number analysis further confirms that the CInSAR DEM has valid Signal in the high frequency of more than 0.08 radians/m (about 40m) while the NED DEM does not. Our results indicate that the CInSAR DEM is superior to the NED DEM in terms of both height precision and ground resolution.

The most widely used measure for indicating the accuracy of DEM is RMSE(nut Mean Square Error), which is used by many national mapping agencies such as the USGS and the Ordnance Survey. Its prevalent use can be followed by the relative ease of calculation and understanding the concepts. However, there are many problems with the measure and the way from which it is often derived. First of all, the index does not involve my description of the mean donation between the two measures of elevation,. This means that it cannot interpret the distributions or patterns of errors involved in DEMs. The distribution of errors in DEMs will show some forms of spatial patterning. In order to explore the real quality of DEMs as a useful database, alternative approaches are needed. In this paper, we examined so called ESDA(Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis) approaches, which were attributed by both aspatial and spatial exploration methods. Our experimental research shows that even simple ESDA methods reveal new aspects of errors, especially spikes, striation, and terracing effect in DEMs, which my be ignored by RMSE measure.

The purpose of this paper is to extract DEMs from Spot-3 strips using orbit modeling technique. Spot-3 stereo strip images along 420km in distance were used for experiments. The orbit modeling technique has been suggested to establish accurate geometric models for a whole strip taken on the same orbit using only a small number of GCPs on the top area of the strip. This method enables extraction of orientation parameters of the scene along the strip that is needed to generate DEMs. Consequently, we were able to extract DEMs over the areas without accurate GCPs obtained by GPS surveying per each scene. Assessment of accuracy was carried out using USGS DTED. DEMs generated from the orbit modelling technique suggested showed satisfactory performance when quantitative analysis of accuracy assessment was carried out.
