Recently, the enormous increase in the volume of remotely sensed data is being acquired by an ever-growing number of earth observation satellites. The combining of diversely sourced imagery together is an important requirement in many applications such as data fusion, city modeling and object recognition. Aerial triangulation is a procedure to reconstruct object space from imagery. However, since the different kinds of imagery have their own sensor model, characteristics, and resolution, the previous approach in aerial triangulation (or georeferencing) is performed on a sensor model separately. This study evaluated the advantages of aerial triangulation of large number of images from multi-sensors simultaneously. The incorporated multi-sensors are frame, push broom, and whisky broom cameras. The limits and problems of push-broom or whisky broom sensor models can be compensated by combined triangulation with frame imagery and vise versa. The reconstructed object space from multi-sensor triangulation is more accurate than that from a single model. Experiments conducted in this study show the more accurately reconstructed object space from multi-sensor triangulation.

Segmentation of LiDAR data is an important procedure in building modeling. Therefore, in this study, aerial imagery is used to group LiDAR data for both improving segmentation accuracy and modeling detail surface patches of the roofs. The results show that the proposed method is efficient to analyze and to model various types of roof shape.

Correction of shadow effects is critical step for image interpretation and feature extraction from aerial imagery. In this paper, an efficient algorithm to correct shadow effects from aerial color imagery is presented. The following steps have been performed to remove the shadow effect. First, the shadow regions are precisely located using the solar position and the height of ground objects derived from LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data. Subsequently, segmentation of context regions is implemented for accurate correction with existing digital map. Next step, to calculate correction factor the comparison between the context region and the same non-shadowed context region is made. Finally, corrected image is generated by correcting the shadow effect. The result presented here helps to accurately extract and interpret geo-spatial information from aerial color imagery

Traditionally, aerial images have been used as main sources for compiling topographic maps. In recent years, lidar data has been exploited as another type of mapping data. Regarding their performances, aerial imagery has the ability to delineate object boundaries but omits much of these boundaries during feature extraction. Lidar provides direct information about heights of object surfaces but have limitations with respect to boundary localization. Considering the characteristics of the sensors, this paper proposes an approach to extracting buildings from lidar and aerial imagery, which is based on the complementary characteristics of optical and range sensors. For detecting building regions, relationships among elevation contours are represented into directional graphs and searched for the contours corresponding to external boundaries of buildings. For generating building models, a wing model is proposed to assemble roof surface patches into a complete building model. Then, building models are projected and checked with features in aerial images. Experimental results show that the proposed approach provides an efficient and accurate way to extract building models.

Due to complexity of diverse features in urban area, accurate feature extraction is laborious task in aerial and satellite imagery. Especially occlusion by buildings, and image distortion of shadow effects make processing more difficult work. In this study, algorithm was presented to correct of shadow effects in aerial color images. This algorithm enables user to accurately interpretate urban information by correction of shadow effects in aerial color images

The purpose of data fusion is collecting maximized information from combining the data attained from more than two same or different kind sensor systems. Data fusion of same kind sensor systems like optical imagery has been on focus, but recently, LIDAR emerged as a new technology for capturing rapidally data on physical surfaces and the high accuray results derived from the LIDAR data. Considering the nature of aerial imagery and LIDAR data, it is clear that the two systems provide complementary information. Data fusion is consisted of two steps, alignment and matching. However, the complementary information can only be fully utilized after sucessful alignment of the aerial imagery and lidar data. In this research, deal with centroid of building extracted from lidar data as control information for estimating exterior orientation parameters of aerial imagery relative to the LIDAR reference frame.

항공용 Multi-looking 카메라는 1대의 사진기 몸체에 5대의 카메라를 설치하여 동시에 1장의 연직사진과 4개의 경사사진을 획득하므로, 연직방향으로 촬영된 일반 항공사진에 비해 현장에 대한 다양한 정보를 제공한다. 그러나 3차원 공간정보 구축시 다각사진촬영시스템은 대형CCD를 사용하는것이 아니라 중형CCD를 사용하므로, 주요대상물의 전후좌우 영상을 취득하려면, 촬영시 중복도 설정을 고려하여야 하며, 특히 Sideward-looking 카메라의 경우 횡중복도 설정에 의해 특정대상물 촬영 여부를 확인할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 촬영시 횡중복도 변화에 의한 다각사진의 Sideward Footprint 및 촬영의 효율성에 대하여 분석하였다.

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.

Mean curvature diffusion (MCD) is a selective smoothing technique that promotes smoothing within a region instead of smoothing across boundaries. By using mean curvature diffusion, noise is eliminated and edges are preserved. In this paper, we propose methods of automatic parameter selection and implementation for the MCD model coupled to min/max flow. The algorithm has been applied to high resolution aerial images and the results show that noise is eliminated and edges are preserved after removal of noise.
