Although the intensity-hue-saturation (IHS) method for pan-sharpening has a spectral distortion problem, it is a popular method in the remote sensing community and has been used as a standard procedure in many commercial packages due to its fast computing and easy implementation. Recently, IHS-like approaches have tried to overcome the spectral distortion problem inherited from the IHS method itself and yielded a good result. In this paper, a similar IHS-like method with least squares for WorldView-2 pan-sharpening is presented. In particular, unlike the previous methods with three or four-band multispectral images for pan-sharpening, six bands of WorldView-2 multispectral image located within the range of panchromatic spectral radiance responses are considered in order to reduce the spectral distortion during the merging process. As a result, the new approach provides a satisfactory result, both visually and quantitatively. Furthermore, this shows great value in spectral fidelity of WorldView-2 eight-band multispectral imagery.

Worldview-3 satellite sensor provides panchromatic image with high-spatial resolution and 8-band multispectral images. Therefore, an image-sharpening technique, which sharpens the spatial resolution of multispectral images by using high-spatial resolution panchromatic images, is essential for various applications of Worldview-3 images based on image interpretation and processing. The existing pansharpening algorithms tend to tradeoff between spectral distortion and spatial enhancement. In this study, we applied six pansharpening algorithms to Worldview-3 satellite imagery and assessed the quality of pansharpened images qualitatively and quantitatively. We also analyzed the effects of time lag for each multispectral band during the pansharpening process. Quantitative assessment of pansharpened images was performed by comparing ERGAS (Erreur Relative Globale Adimensionnelle de Synthèse), SAM (Spectral Angle Mapper), Q-index and sCC (spatial Correlation Coefficient) based on real data set. In experiment, quantitative results obtained by MRA (Multi-Resolution Analysis)-based algorithm were better than those by the CS (Component Substitution)-based algorithm. Nevertheless, qualitative quality of spectral information was similar to each other. In addition, images obtained by the CS-based algorithm and by division of two multispectral sensors were shaper in terms of spatial quality than those obtained by the other pansharpening algorithm. Therefore, there is a need to determine a pansharpening method for Worldview-3 images for application to remote sensing data, such as spectral and spatial information-based applications.

The importance of the classical theme of how the Top-of-Atmosphere (TOA) and Top-of-Canopy (TOC) reflectance of high-resolution satellite images match the actual atmospheric reflectance and surface reflectance has been emphasized. Based on the Radiometric Calibration Network (RadCalNet) BTCN and BSCN data, this study compared the accuracy of TOA and TOC reflectance products of the currently available optical satellites, including KOMPSAT-3, WorldView-2, and Pléiades-1A image sets calculated using the absolute atmospheric correction function of the Orfeo Toolbox (OTB) tool. The comparison experiment used data in 2018 and 2019, and the Landsat-8 image sets from the same period were applied together. The experiment results showed that the product of TOA and TOC reflectance obtained from the three sets of images were highly consistent with RadCalNet data. It implies that any imagery may be applied when high-resolution reflectance products are required for a certain application. Meanwhile, the processed results of the OTB tool and those by the Apparent Reflection method of another tool for WorldView-2 images were nearly identical. However, in some cases, the reflectance products of Landsat-8 images provided by USGS sometimes showed relatively low consistency than those computed by the OTB tool, with the reference of RadCalNet BTCN and BSCN data. Continuous experiments on active vegetation areas in addition to the RadCalNet sites are necessary to obtain generalized results.

동남아시아 지역의 갯벌에 널리 서식하는 패류인 Meretrix lyrata의 집단폐사 현상의 원인과 해결책을 찾기 위한 일환으로 서식지 분포 확률도를 제작하였다. 서식지 분포 확률도는 GIS (Geographic Information System) 기법의 일종인 FR (Frequency Ratio) 기법을 활용하여 제작하였으며, 입력인자로는 Landsat 영상 기반의 DEM(Digital Elevation Model)과 경사도, WorldView-02 영상 기반의 조류로 밀도도 및 거리도, 표층퇴적상 분포도와 현장관측 자료를 활용하였다. 현장관측은 2014년 4월 베트남 Ben-tre 주의 Bihn Dai 지역의 갯벌에서 수행하였으며, 연구지역의 지형고도, 표층 저서생물상, 표층 퇴적상 자료를 수집하였다. 서식지 분포 확률도는 Mertrix lyrata 총 개체와 치패로 나누어 제작하였으며, 정확도는 각각 76.82%, 69.51%로 좋은 정확도를 보였다. 서식지 분포 확률도 분석 결과 Meretrix lyrata는 총 개체와 치패 모두의 경우에서 Sand가 우세한 지역에 서식하지만, 총 개체는 주로 고도가 -0.2~0.2 m 사이의 조간대 중-하부에 서식하며, 치패는 그보다 높은 0~0.3 m 사이의 지역에 서식하였다. 또한 총 개체의 서식지는 조류로로부터 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났지만, 치패는 조류로의 영향을 받지 않았다. 향후 국내 갯벌과의 비교 분석을 통해 서식지 분포 확률도의 정확도를 높이고, Meretrix lyrata를 비롯한 여러 대형저서동물의 서식환경에 대한 분석을 통해, 기후변화 등으로 인한 갯벌 생태의 변화에 대해 예측할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
