  • 중저해상도 광학영상의 순간시야각(instantaneous filed of view -IFOV)에 포함되는 공간에는 반사특성이 상이한 두 개 이상의 지표물이 존재하는 경우가 대부분이다. 영상분류와 같은 기존의 영상처리기법에서는 하나의 화소가 단일의 지표물을 대표한다는 가정에서 접근하였으나, 최근 화소의 혼합정도를 세분하는 분광혼합분석(spectral mixture analysis)기법이 개발되고 있다. 분광혼합분석법을 이용하여 혼합된 화소에 포함된 지표물을 분해(unmixing) 하고 그 효과를 분석하고자 하여 경기도 광릉국립수목원의 시험림 지역을 대상으로 Landsat-7 ETM+영상을 이용하여 선형혼합 모델을 적용하였고, 그 결과 각각의 화소를 6개의 End-member의 혼합비로 구분하였다. Endmember의 비율을 나타낸 영상을 분석하여 점유비율에 따른 활엽수와 침엽수의 구분을 할 수 있었고, 각 임상별의 특징도 얻을 수 있었다. 특히 침엽수의 경우 그림자의 효과가 높다는 특성도 파악 할 수 있었다. 분광혼합분석법은 기존의 전통 분류방법과는 달리 다양한 산림의 정보를 추출해 낼 수 있다.

  • Aerial videography techniques have been used to inventory conditions associated with grassland, forests, and agricultural crop production. Most recently, aerial videography has been used to verity satellite image classifications as part of the natural ecosystem survey. The objectives of this study were: (1) to use aerial video images of the study area, one part of Taean Seashore National Park, for the accuracy assessment, and (2) to determine the suitability of aerial videography as an accuracy assessment, of the land cover classification with Landsat-TM data. Video images were collected twice, summer and winter seasons, and divided into two kinds of images, wide angle and narrow angle images. Accuracy assessment methods include the calculation of the error matrix, the overall accuracy and kappa coefficient of agreement. This study indicates that aerial videography is an effective tool for accuracy assessment of the satellite image classifications of which features are relatively large and continuous. And it would be possible to overcome the limits of the present natural ecosystem survey method.

  • In-situ water quality sampling is used for accurate water quality assessment. However, in-situ water quality sampling offers limited samples and requires much time and intensive labors. Remote sensing approach has recently applied for water quality assessment. It has shown the advantage of offering a synoptic view but also more efficient and economical. In this study, we utilized Landsat Imagery to estimate the water quality of the Tamsui River basin, considered as one of the most important rivers located in the north of Taiwan. In order to monitor water quality of Tamsui River basin, a linear regression relation between the value of spectral radiance and four water quality parameters are investigated with 38 water sampling stations. Through the regression model, we could estimate river pollution index (RPI) from the predicted value of four water quality parameters. By using RPI, we can examine the pollution level of Tamsui River. The accuracy of RPI conversion of this study ranged from 32.2% to 68.2%.

  • This paper demonstrates that it is feasible to evaluate forest degradation and to detect deforestation in the 8156$km^2$ study area affected by expand farming using vegetation indices derived from Landsat TM data. The NDVI-growing stock relation was applied on th Landsat TM data and a 3 second grid DEM, whose coverages could improve the assessment of forest degradation and also estimate the rate of change of forest cover area depending on elevation intervals. The strength of the relationship between the ratio of the greenness and brightness indices and forest degradation conditions would have been more interesting in the deforested areas which were converted to crop farming land.

  • Land surface temperature(LST) is one of the key parameters in physics and meteorology of land-surface processes on regional and global scales. Urban Heat Island(UHI), a meteorological phenomenon by which the air temperature in an urban area increases beyond that in the suburbs, grows with the progress of urbanization. Satellite remote sensing has been expected to be effective for obtaining thermal information of the earth's surface with a high resolution. The main purpose of this study is to produce LST map of Cheongju and to analyze the spatial distributions of surface heat fluxes in urban areas. This study, taking Cheongju as the study area, aims to examine relationship between vegetation cover rates and surface temperature, and to clarify a method for calculation surface temperature with Landsat TM thermal images.

  • In order to utilize remote sensed images widely, it is necessary to correct geometrically. Traditional approaches to geometric correction require substantial human operations. Such substantial human operations make geometric correction a laborious and tedious process. In this paper, We introduce concept of GCP(Ground Control Point) Chip and generate a GCP Chip for automatic geometric correction. GCP Chip is small image patch which has a GCP in reference coordinate image. GCP Chip will be used to match new images in geometric correction. We generated GCP chip using Landsat-7 ETM+ panchromatic band image in this study. Henceforth this result will support automatic process in geometric correction.

  • It is very important to monitor change of a forest. We compare the different seasonal remote sensing data to detect forest damaged by typhoons and build a method to detect the area damaged by typhoons. Study site is located in western Oita prefecture. The multitemporal satellite dataset of this study were consisted of four Landsat TM scenes taken before and after the typhoons. As compared with non-damaged area, it was shown that the reflective characteristic of the damaged area becomes high by band 3, band 5, and band 7. These bands are effective in extracting the typhoon damaged area.

  • The purpose of this preliminary study is the applied to geology using the Landsat TM satellite image of the Tanggung area of southern part of the Bandung, Indonesia to provide basic information for geological survey. For this, topography, geology and satellite image were constructed to spatial database. Digital elevation, slope, aspect, curvature, hill shade of topography were calculated from the topographic database and lithology was imported from the geological database. Lineament, lineament density, and NDVI were extracted the Landsat TM satellite image. The results showed the close relationship between geology and terrain and satellite image. Each sedimentary rock seldom corresponds with geology and analyses of topography but as a whole for sedimentary rocks coincide with them. Tuff and volcanic breccia in the volcanic rocks correspond with the result of terrain analyses. Talus deposits is well matched with the analyses of opography/satellite image.

  • Large number of coral reefs in Thailand waters make the use of satellite imagery probably the only practical method for their monitoring. This paper reports the result of detecting small shallow-water coral reef by using maximum likelihood classification technique. Combination of blue/green and near-infrared band ratio are used as spectral signatures derived from a Landsat 7 imagery covering western portion of the Gulf of Thailand. Result assessment reveals accuracy significantly over 60 percent. The result is encouraging and would be a basis for further study to realize the full potential and limitation of this technique.

  • Quantifying crop production is one of the most important applications of remote sensing in which the temporal and up-to-date data can play very important role in avoiding any immediate insufficiency in agricultural production. A combination of climatic data and biophysical parameters derived from Landsat7 ETM+ was used to develop a mathematical model for wheat yield forecast in different geographically wide Wheat growing districts in Egypt. Leaf Area Index (LAI) and fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fAPAR) with temperature were used in the modeling. The model includes three sub-models representing the correlation between the reported yield and each individual variable. Simulation results using district statistics showed high accuracy of the derived correlations to estimate wheat production with a percentage standard error (%S.E.) of 1.5% in El- Qualyobia district and average (%S.E.) of 7% for the whole wheat areas.
