Satellite imagery may contain large regions covered with atmospheric aerosol. A high-resolution satellite imagery affected by non-homogenous aerosol cover should be processed for land cover study and perform the radiometric calibration that will allow its future application for Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT) data. In this study, aerosol signal was separated from high resolution satellite data based on the reflectance separation method. Since aerosol removal has a good sensitivity over bright surface such as man-made targets, aerosol optical thickness (AOT) retrieval algorithm could be used. AOT retrieval using Look-up table (LUT) approach for utilizing the transformed image to radiometrically compensate visible band imagery is processed and tested in the correction of satellite scenery. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), EO-1/HYPERION data have been used for aerosol correction and AOT retrieval with different spatial resolution. Results show that an application of the aerosol detection for HYPERION data yields successive aerosol separation from imagery and AOT maps are consistent with MODIS AOT map.

ShadowCam is a high-sensitivity, high-resolution imager provided by NASA for the Danuri (KPLO) lunar mission. ShadowCam calibration shows that it is well suited for its purpose, to image permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) that occur near the lunar poles. It is 205 times as sensitive as the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Narrow Angle Camera (NAC). The signal to noise ratio (SNR) is greater than 100 over a large part of the dynamic range, and the top of the dynamic range is high enough to accommodate most brighter PSR pixels. The optical performance is good enough to take full advantage of the 1.7 meter/pixel image scale, and calibrated images have uniform response. We describe some instrument artifacts that are amenable to future corrections, making it possible to improve performance further. Stray light control is very challenging for this mission. In many cases, ShadowCam can image shadowed areas with directly illuminated terrain in or near the field of view (FOV). We include thorough qualitative descriptions of circumstances under which lunar brightness levels far higher than the top of the dynamic range cause detector or stray light artifacts and the size and extent of the artifact signal under those circumstances.

이 연구에서는 지구물리 및 환경공학적 방법을 동원하여 호주 Queensland 남서부 Goondoola Basin 에서의 2차 염분작용의 원인을 조사하였다. 지표 및 지하 물질과 지하수에 대한 정보와 함께 항공 방사능 및 전자탐사 그리고 지표 전자탐사 자료가 얻어졌다. 방사능과 고도자료 및 측정된 물성간에 얻어진 상관관계로부터 지표 물질 및 지하수 유입 포텐샬의 예측도를 만들 수 있었는데, 가장 큰 지하수 유입은 분지를 둘러싼 풍화 기반암에서 일어나는 것으로 예측되었다. 전자탐사자료(항공, 지표 및 시추공)는 토양 및 시추자료와 함께 천부 소금층의 크기와 지하 구조를 규명하는데 사용되었다. 전기전도도 측정자료는 토양 염분의 분포를 반영하고 있다. 그러나 표토 깊은 곳에서는 염분함량이 상대적으로 일정하여, 항공전자탐사 신호는 공극률 또는 물성의 변화에 따라 영향을 받았으며, 이러한 결과로부터 기반암 풍화대의 수평적인 분포를 탐지할 수 있었다. 이 지역의 염분 작용은 표층 구조에 의해 강하게 좌우되는 국부적 및 중간 크기 과정의 결과로 발생하며, 현재의 지표 현상은 사면의 균열에서 유출되는 천부 염분 지하수 상부에서의 증발 농축의 결과이다. 표층과 지하 자료의 종합으로부터 지하수위 상승에 따른 염분도 증가로 야기되는 유사한 산사태 구조의 규명이 가능하였다. 이 정보는 현재 지방 토지 관리자가 과도한 지하수 유입과 더 이상의 염분 이동을 막는 관리방법의 개선에 이용되고 있다.

The on-orbit test simulation for predicting the instrument directional responsivity was conducted by the Monte Carlo based integrated ray tracing (IRT) computation technique and analytic flux-to-signal conversion algorithms. For the on-orbit test simulation, the Sun model consists of the Lambertian scattering sphere and emitting spheroid rays, the Amon-Ra instrument is a two-channel including a broadband scanning radiometer (energy channel) and an imager with ${\pm}2^{\circ}$ FOV (visible channel). The solar radiation produced by the Sun model is directed to the instrument viewing port and traced through the dual channel optical train. The instrument model is rotated on its rotation axis and this gives a slow scan of the Sun model over the full field of view. The direction of the incident lights are fed with scanned images obtained from the visible channel instrument. The instrument responsivity was computed by the ratio of the incident radiation input to the instrument output. In the radiometric simulation, especially, measured BRDF of the 3D CPC was used for scattering effects on radiometry. With diamond turned 3D CPC inner surface, the anisotropic surface scattering model from the measured data was applied to ray tracing computation. The technical details of the on-orbit test simulation are presented together with field-of-view calibration plan.

Purpose: Yield monitoring systems are an essential component of precision agriculture. They indicate the spatial variability of crop yield in fields, and have become an important factor in modern harvesters. The objective of this paper was to review research trends related to yield monitoring sensors for grain crops. Methods: The literature was reviewed for research on the major sensing components of grain yield monitoring systems. These major components included grain flow sensors, moisture content sensors, and cutting width sensors. Sensors were classified by sensing principle and type, and their performance was also reviewed. Results: The main targeted harvesting grain crops were rice, wheat, corn, barley, and grain sorghum. Grain flow sensors were classified into mass flow and volume flow methods. Mass flow sensors were mounted primarily at the clean grain elevator head or under the grain tank, and volume flow sensors were mounted at the head or in the middle of the elevator. Mass flow methods used weighing, force impact, and radiometric approaches, some of which resulted in measurement error levels lower than 5% ($R^2=0.99$). Volume flow methods included paddle wheel type and optical type, and in the best cases produced error levels lower than 3%. Grain moisture content sensing was in many cases achieved using capacitive modules. In some cases, errors were lower than 1%. Cutting width was measured by ultrasonic distance sensors mounted at both sides of the header dividers, and the errors were in some cases lower than 5%. Conclusions: The design and fabrication of an integrated yield monitoring system for a target crop would be affected by the selection of a sensing approach, as well as the layout and mounting of the sensors. For accurate estimation of yield, signal processing and correction measures should be also implemented.

Yield monitoring systems have become integral to precision agriculture, providing insights into the spatial variability of crop yield and playing an important role in modern harvesting technology. This paper aims to review current research trends in yield monitoring systems, specifically designed for non-grain crops, including cabbages, radishes, potatoes, and tomatoes. A systematic literature survey was conducted to evaluate the performance of various monitoring methods for non-grain crop yields. This study also assesses both mass- and volume-based yield monitoring systems to provide precise evaluations of agricultural productivity. Integrating load cell technology enables precise mass flow rate measurements and cumulative weighing, offering an accurate representation of crop yields, and the incorporation of image-based analysis enhances the overall system accuracy by facilitating volumetric flow rate calculations and refined volume estimations. Mass flow methods, including weighing, force impact, and radiometric approaches, have demonstrated impressive results, with some measurement error levels below 5%. Volume flow methods, including paddle wheel and optical methodologies, yielded error levels below 3%. Signal processing and correction measures also play a crucial role in achieving accurate yield estimations. Moreover, the selection of sensing approach, sensor layout, and mounting significantly influence the performance of monitoring systems for specific crops.

이 논문은 ScanSAR 영상화에 대한 새로운 아이디어를 소개한다. 버스트(Burst) 모드로 신호를 획득하는 ScanSAR의 전통적인 영상화는 버스트 간 영상을 연결하는 Azimuth stitching이 필요하여, 이 과정은 방사왜곡 및 위상왜곡을 유발한다. 전통적인 SPECAN 방법 대신 이 논문에서는 시간영역 교차상관을 이용하여 Azimuth stitching 과정 없이 영상화가 가능한 새로운 방법을 소개한다. 이 방법의 핵심 아이디어는 기준함수 밴드폭을 적절히 확장하여 시간영역 교차상관을 수행하면 Azimuth stitching 없이도 영상화가 가능하다는 점이다. 이 방법을 실제 위성 원시신호에 적용하여 영상 전 구간에서 영상품질과 방사왜곡 관점에서 우수한 성능을 검증하였다. 버스트 모드를 기반으로 하는 ScanSAR는 영상품질(3 dB 해상도, peak-to-sidelobe ratio (PSLR), 압축률, Speckle 잡음 등)은 모든 품질지표에서 도플러 주파수 전 영역 신호를 이용하는 Stripmap에 비해 낮을 수밖에 없다. 그러나, 각 활용분야 및 기술에 따라 선정된 특정 영상 품질지표 만을 개선할 수 있는 방법은 다양하다. 따라서 ScanSAR 영상화는 모든 활용분야에 획일적인 방법에 의한 영상화보다는, 각 활용에 따라 요구되는 품질지표 우선순위에 따라 최적화할 수 있는 영상화 방법을 적용하는 차별화 전략이 요구된다.
