Japanese Ocean Flux Data Sets with Use of Remote Sensing Observations (J-OFURO) includes global ocean surface heat flux data derived from satellite data and are used in many studies related to air-sea interaction. Recently latent heat flux data version 2 was constructed in J-OFURO. In version 2 many points are improved compared with version 1. A bulk algorithm used for estimation of latent heat flux is changed from Kondo (1975) to COASRE 3.0(Fairall et al., 2005). In version 1 we used NCEP reanalysis data (Reynolds and Smith, 1994) as SST data. However, the temporal resolution of the data is weekly and considerably low. Recently there are many kinds of global SST data because we can obtain SST data using a microwave radiometer sensor such as TRMM/MI and Aqua/AMSR-E. Therefore, we compared many SST products and determined to use Merged satellite and in situ data Global Daily (MGD) SST provided by Japan Meteorological Agency. Since we use wind speed and specific humidity data derived from one DMSP/SSMI sensor in J-OFURO, we obtain two data at most one day. Therefore, there may be large sampling errors for the daily-mean value. In order to escape this problem, multi-satellite data are used in version 2. As a result we could improve temporal resolution from 3-days mean value in version 1 to daily-mean value in version 2. Also we used an Optimum Interpolation method to estimate wind speed and specific humidity data instead of a simple mean method. Finally the data period is extended to 1989-2004. In this presentation we will introduce latent heat flux data version 2 in J-OFURO and comparison results with other surface latent heat flux data such as GSSTF2 and HOAPS etc. Moreover, we will present validation results by using buoy data.

Remote sensing is the science and art of obtaining information about an object, area or phenomenon through the analysis of data acquired by a device that is not in contact with the object, area, or phenomenon under investigation./sup 1)/ EOC (Electro -Optical Camera) sensor loaded on the KOMPSAT-1 (Korea Multi- Purpose Satellite-1) performs the earth remote sensing operation. EOC can get high-resolution images of ground distance 6.6m during photographing; it is possible to get a tilt image by tilting satellite body up to 45 degrees at maximum. Accordingly, the device developed in this study enables to obtain images by photographing one pair of tilt image for the same point from two different planes. KOMPSAT-1 aims to obtain a Korean map with a scale of 1:25,000 with high resolution. The KOMPSAT-1 developed automated feature extraction system based on stereo satellite image. It overcomes the limitations of sensor and difficulties associated with preprocessing quite effectively. In case of using 6, 7 and 9 ground control points, which are evenly spread in image, with 95% of reliability for horizontal and vertical position, 3-dimensional positioning was available with accuracy of 6.0752m and 9.8274m. Therefore, less than l0m of design accuracy in KOMPSAT-1 was achieved. Also the ground position error of ortho-image, with reliability of 95%, is 17.568m. And elevation error showing 36.82m was enhanced. The reason why elevation accuracy was not good compared with the positioning accuracy used stereo image was analyzed as a problem of image matching system. Ortho-image system is advantageous if accurate altitude and production of digital elevation model are desired. The Korean map drawn on a scale of 1: 25,000 by using the new technique of KOMPSAT-1 EOC image adopted in the present study produces accurate result compared to existing mapping techniques involving high costs with less efficiency.

The DISCOVER Project (${\underline{D}}istributed$ ${\underline{I}}nformation$ ${\underline{S}}ervices$ for ${\underline{C}}limate$ and ${\underline{O}}cean$ products and ${\underline{V}}isualizations$ for ${\underline{E}}arth$ ${\underline{R}}esearch$) is a NASA funded Earth Science REASoN project that strives to provide highly accurate, carefully calibrated, long-term climate data records and near-real-time ocean products suitable for the most demanding Earth research applications via easy-to-use display and data access tools. A key element of DISCOVER is the merging of data from the multiple sensors on multiple platforms into geophysical data sets consistent in both time and space. The project is a follow-on to the SSM/I Pathfinder and Passive Microwave ESIP projects which pioneered the simultaneous retrieval of sea surface temperature, surface wind speed, columnar water vapor, cloud liquid water content, and rain rate from SSM/I and TMI observations. The ocean products available through DISCOVER are derived from multi-sensor observations combined into daily products and a consistent multi-decadal climate time series. The DISCOVER team has a strong track record in identifying and removing unexpected sources of systematic error in radiometric measurements, including misspecification of SSM/I pointing geometry, the slightly emissive TMI antenna, and problems with the hot calibration source on AMSR-E. This in-depth experience with inter-calibration is absolutely essential for achieving our objective of merging multi-sensor observations into consistent data sets. Extreme care in satellite inter-calibration and commonality of geophysical algorithms is applied to all sensors. This presentation will introduce the DISCOVER products currently available from the web site, http://www.discover-earth.org and provide examples of the scientific application of both the diurnally corrected optimally interpolated global sea surface temperature product and the 4x-daily global microwave water vapor product.

Very decisive progress was made in advancing fundamental POL-IN-SAR theory and algorithm development during the past decade. This was accomplished with the aid of airborne & shuttle platforms supporting single -to-multi-band multi-modal POL-SAR and also some POL-IN-SAR sensor systems, which will be compared and assessed with the aim of establishing the hitherto not completed but required missions such as tomographic and holographic imaging. Because the operation of airborne test-beds is extremely expensive, aircraft platforms are not suited for routine monitoring missions which is better accomplished with the use drones or UAVs. Such unmanned aerial vehicles were developed for defense applications, however lacking the sophistic ation of implementing advanced forefront POL-IN-SAR technology. This shortcoming will be thoroughly scrutinized resulting in the finding that we do now need to develop most rapidly POL-IN-SAR drone-platform technology especially for environmental stress-change monitoring with a great variance of applications beginning with flood, bush/forest-fire to tectonic-stress (earth-quake to volcanic eruptions) for real-short-time hazard mitigation. However, for routine global monitoring purposes of the terrestrial covers neither airborne sensor implementation - aircraft and/or drones - are sufficient; and there -fore multi-modal and multi-band space-borne POL-IN-SAR space-shuttle and satellite sensor technology needs to be further advanced at a much more rapid phase. The existing ENVISAT with the forthcoming ALOSPALSAR, RADARSAT-2, and the TERRASAT will be compared, demonstrating that at this phase of development the fully polarimetric and polarimetric-interferometric modes of operation must be viewed and treated as preliminary algorithm verification support modes and at this phase of development are still not to be viewed as routine modes.

여러 응용 분야에서 널리 활용되고 있는 위성영상은 지표면을 모니터링 하는데 매우 유용한 자료원이다. 위성자료는 원격 센서를 통해 획득되기 때문에 자료 획득시의 구름이나 에어로졸과 같은 관측 기상 상태나 센서 오작동상태에 따라 많은 노이즈와 에러가 포함되어 있다. 자료의 정확성은 자료 분석 결과의 정확성과 신뢰도에 영향을 주기 때문에 고품질 자료를 위한 노이즈 제거 및 자료 복원은 중요한 전처리(preprocessing) 과정이다. 본 연구에서는 다중주기 하모닉 모형을 이용하여 위성자료의 시계열적 동적 특성을 모형화하고 자료의 공간적 상관관계를 고려하여 적응적으로 자료복원을 수행하는 재구축 시스템을 제안하고 있다. 다중 주기에 기반을 둔 모형은 단일 주기보다 지표면의 연간 변화뿐 아니라 계절적 변화와 같이 내부적인 변화 패턴을 모형화 하는데 적합하다. 또한 기존에 제안된 복원 방법은 일정 기간의 전체 자료에 대한 복원 방법으로 실시간 복원법이 아니지만 제안된 방법은 실시간 자료 복원이 가능하여 위성자료 실시간 재구축을 위한 전처리 시스템의 알고리즘으로 활용될 수 있다. 제안된 방법은 먼저 시뮬레이션 자료를 통해 성능이 평가되었고 2011부터 2016년까지 6년간의 MODIS NDVI 자료에 적용하여 평가되었다. 실험 결과는 제안된 자료 복원 시스템이 위성영상 자료 분석을 위한 고품질 자료 재구축 방법으로 매우 유용함을 보여주고 있다.

도심지 모델링과 분석을 효과적으로 수행하기 위해서는 다른 시기나 다른 지역의 추가적인 고해상도 위성영상이 반드시 필요하다. 그러나 같은 지상 개체라 하더라도 서로 다른 영상에서 방사적인 불일치가 존재하며 이는 영상 처리와 분석의 정확도를 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 더욱이 도심지의 경우 건물, 수목, 교량, 기타 구조물 등 높이를 갖는 개체들은 영상 전체에 걸쳐 그림자를 발생시키며 이는 상대 방사 정규화의 질을 저하시킨다. 본 연구에서는 태양과 위성의 기하학적 위치 정보, 부가적인 수치 표고 모델이 없어도 적용이 가능한 단영상 기반의 그림자 추출기법을 적용하고 그림자의 영향을 배제한 선택적인 히스토그램 매칭 기법을 제안하였다. 건물의 에지 버퍼 영역에 대한 인접 정보와 분할을 통해 생성된 객체의 공간 및 분광인자를 이용하여 그림자를 추출한 후, 아스팔트 도로와 같이 그림자로 잘못 추출된 이상 객체를 제거하였다. 최종적으로 그림자 지역이 마스킹 된 Quickbird-2 다시기 영상을 이용하여 비그림자 지역만을 이용하여 선택적 히스토그램 매칭을 수행하였다.

The merging of different scales or multi-sensor image data is becoming a widely used procedure of the complementary nature of various data sets. Ideally, the merging method should not distort the characteristics of the high-spatial and high-spectral resolution data used. To present an effective merging method for survey of reclaimed land using the high-resolution (6.6 m) Electro-Optical Camera (EOC) panchromatic image of the first Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite 1 (KOMPSA T-l) and the multispectral Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image data, this paper compares the results of Intensity Hue Saturation (IHS) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) methods. The comparison is made by statistical and visual evaluation of three-color combination images of IHS and PCA results based on spatial and spectral characteristics. The use of MODIS bands 1, 2, and 3 with a contrast stretched EOC panchromatic image as a substitute for intensity was found to be particularly effective in this study.

This study discussed the applicability of satellite SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) imagery with regard to reservoir monitoring, and tried the extraction of reservoir storage from multi-temporal C-band RADARSAT-1 SAR backscattering images of Yedang and Goongpyeong agricultural reservoirs, acquired from May to October 2005. SAR technology has been advanced as a complementary and alternative approach to optical remote sensing and in-situ measurement. Water bodies in SAR imagery represent low brightness induced by low backscattering, and reservoir storage can be derived from the backscatter contrast with the level-area-volume relationship of each reservoir. The threshold segmentation over the routine preprocessing of SAR images such as speckle reduction and low-pass filtering concluded a significant correlation between the SAR-derived reservoir storage and the observation record in spite of the considerable disagreement. The result showed up critical limitations for adopting SAR data to reservoir monitoring as follows: the inappropriate specifications of SAR data, the unreliable rating curve of reservoir, the lack of climatic information such as wind and precipitation, the interruption of inside and neighboring land cover, and so on. Furthermore, better accuracy of SAR-based reservoir monitoring could be expected through different alternatives such as multi-sensor image fusion, water level measurement with altimeters or interferometry, etc.

A multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system is developed to solve the manhole cover detection problem for the infrastructure maintenance in the suburbs of big city. The visible light sensor is employed to collect the ground image data and a series of image processing and machine learning methods are used to detect the manhole cover. First, the image enhancement technique is employed to improve the imaging effect of visible light camera. An imaging environment perception method is used to increase the computation robustness: the blind Image Quality Evaluation Metrics (IQEMs) are used to percept the imaging environment and select the images which have a high imaging definition for the following computation. Because of its excellent processing effect the adaptive Multiple Scale Retinex (MSR) is used to enhance the imaging quality. Second, the Single Shot multi-box Detector (SSD) method is utilized to identify the manhole cover for its stable processing effect. Third, the spatial coordinate of manhole cover is also estimated from the ground image. The practical applications have verified the outdoor environment adaptability of proposed algorithm and the target detection correctness of proposed system. The detection accuracy can reach 99% and the positioning accuracy is about 0.7 meters.

원격탐사는 각종 상업용 위성과 항공사진을 바탕으로 이루어진다. 그러나 이러한 자료는 연구자들이 원하는 시기와 장소에 따라 촬영되는데 자료 획득시, 기상조건 및 경제적 이유로 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 본 연구에서는 소형비행기 및 초경량 비행기에 탈부착이 가능한 소형 다중분광 자동 항공촬영시스템(PKNU2)을 개발하였다. PKNU2호는 연구실 자체 보유한 고해상도 가시대역, 적외선대역 카메라를 이용하여 칼라영상 및 적외 영상을 획득하였다. 환경감시 등의 목적으로 칼라 적외 합성영상을 생성, 분석하였으나 그리 만족스러운 결과를 획득하지 못하였다. 또한 PKNU2호가 대용량 촬영은 가능하였지만 데이터 저장시간이 12초로 횡중복률 60%를 만족시키지 못하였다. 현재 우리는 PKNU2호의 단점을 극복하고자 가시대역과 적외선 대역의 자료를 한번에 획득할 수 있 칼라 적외선 분광카메라, 열적외 카메라, 그리고 영상의 실시간 저장이 가능한 MPEG board를 도입하여 헬리콥터에 탈부착이 가능한 소형 다중분광 자동 항공촬영시스템(PKNU3)을 개발하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 본격적인 촬영에 앞서 가치 있는 영상 획득을 위해 센서의 특성 평가를 실시, 센서의 분광 특성 보정 및 렌즈의 기하학적 왜곡 보정을 작업을 실시하였다.
