This paper shows how to establish vegetation index analysis for reducing soil erosion in mountain watershed. Soil erosion results from a combination of rainfall, soil, topography, and vegetation, so we need much time and costs when analyse it. We comparatively analysed the factors of topography, soil, and vegetation with variable resources, then established GIS DB. The possibility of practical use of this DB was also analysed. The soil and vegetation information of the sediment runoff section, and the NDVI vegetation index from KOMPSAT-2 imagery were referenced for this conducting research.

Extensive forest fire activities occurred across the border in Russia, particularly east of Lake Baikal between the Amur and Lena rivers in May 2003. These forest fires released large amounts of particulates and gases into the atmosphere, resulting in adverse effects on regional air quality and the global radiation budget. Smoke pollution from the Russian fires near Lake Baikal was transported to Korea through Mongolia and eastern China. On 20 May 2003, a number of large fires were burning in eastern Russian, producing a thick, widespread pall of smoke over much of Northeast Asia. In this study, separation technique was used for aerosol retrieval application with imagery from MODIS aboard TERRA satellites. MODIS true-color image shows the location of fires and the grayish color of the smoke plumes over Northeast Asia. Aerosol optical thckness (AOT) retrieved from the MODIS data were compared with fire hot spots, ground-based radiation data and TOMS -based aerosol index data. Large AOT, 2.0-5.0 was observed on 20 May 2003 over Korea due to the influence of the long range transport of smoke aerosol plume from the Russian fires, while surface observed fine mode of aerosol size distribution increased.

The rational polynomial coefficients (RPC) model is a generalized sensor model that is used as an alternative solution for the physical sensor model for IKONOS of the Space Imaging. As the number of sensors increases along with greater complexity, and the standard sensor model is needed, the applicability of the RPC model is increasing. The RPC model has the advantages in being able to substitute for all sensor models, such as the projective, the linear pushbroom and the SAR. This report aimed to generate a RPC model from the physical sensor model of the KOMPSAT-1(Korean Multi-Purpose Satellite) and aerial photography. The KOMPSAT-1 collects 510~730 nm panchromatic imagery with a ground sample distance (GSD) of 6.6 m and a swath width of 17 km by pushbroom scanning. The least square solution was used to estimate the RPC. In addition, data normalization and regularization were applied to improve the accuracy and minimize noise. This study found that the RPC model is suitable for both KOMPSAT-1 and aerial photography.

On this study, Among the classification methods of land cover using satellite imagery, we compared the classification accuracy of Neural Network Classifier and that of Maximum Likelihood Classifier which has the characteristics of parametric and non-parametric classification method. In the assessment of classification accuracy, we analyzed the classification accuracy about testing area as well as training area that many analysts use generally when assess the classification accuracy. As a result, Neural Network Classifier is superior to Maximum Likelihood Classifier as much as 3% in the classification of training data. When ground reference data is used, we could get poor result from both of classification methods, but we could reach conclusion that the classification result of Neural Network Classifier is superior to the classification result of Maximum Likelihood Classifier as much as 10%.

Satellite imagery is generally used for investigating the damage from natural disaster for wide area and remotely piloted vehicle or aerial photos are used for the local damage. But for more detailed information such as damages of public facilities, these methods are inadequate and so in this case field surveying has been carried out. We tried to estimate the damage of public facilities faster and more accurately using photogrammetric method. We developed a digital stereo camera system by fixing two digital cameras on a frame, and with this system the photos of actually damaged areas were collected. The damages were estimated from these stereo photos. Then the estimated data was compared with field surveying data in order to verify our system.

Realistic 3D building construction in urban area has become an important issue because of increasing demand of 3D geo-spatial information in many application. Contrary to the conventional 3D building model construction approach using aerial images and high-resolution satellite imagery, it has been researched widely in building reconstruction using high-accuracy aerial LIDAR data in the latest. This paper presents a method for 3D building construction through building outlines extraction by LoG operator's Zero-crossing and line generation and refinement by Douglas-Peucker algorithm.

Feature identification is one of the largest issue in high spatial resolution satellite imagery. A popular method associated with this feature identification is image segmentation to produce image segments that are more likely to features interested. Here, it is, proposed that combination of edge extraction and region growing methods for image segments were used to improve the result of image segmentation. At the intial step, an image was segmented by edge detection method. The segments were assigned IDs, and polygon topology of segments were built. Based on the topology, the segments were tested their similarities with adjacent segments using multivariate analysis. The segments that have similar spectral characteristics were merged into a region. The test application shows that the segments composed of individual large, spectrally homogeneous structures, such as buildings and roads, were merged into more similar shape of structures.

국지적으로 단시간 내에 많은 양의 강한 비가 내리는 현상인 집중호우는 발생부터 성장, 쇠퇴까지의 과정이 단기간에 이루어지고, 그 변동성이 아주 크다. 그러므로 정확한 예보를 위해서는 단시간예보(nowcasting) 기법이 필요한데, 이를 위해서는 연속적이고, 정확한 관측이 필요하다. 집중호우의 관측에는 우량계, 레이다, 위성 관측 등이 사용되는데 이 연구에서는 GOES-9호 위성영상자료를 이용하였고, 2003년 여름의 8개 강수사례에 대해 분석하였다. 집중호우시의 강수량을 산출하기 위해 Power-law Curve를 사용하였고, NOAA/NESDIS에서 개발하여 현업에 사용 중인 Auto-Estimator의 무강수 픽셀 보정방법을 이용하여 산출된 강수량을 보정하였으며, 이를 기상청의 자동기상관측자료 (Automatic Weather Station: AWS)와 비교하였다. 위성영상자료의 시간 대표성을 분석하기 위해 위성의 관측 시간에 대해 전, 후, 중심을 기준으로 각각 15분, 30분, 60분 누적강수량과 비교하였고, AWS의 공간 대표성을 분석하기 위해 위성영상자료의 3×3, 5×5, 9×9 픽셀을 면적 평균하여 각각 비교하였다. 분석 결과 대부분의 사례에서 위성의 관측시간을 시작으로 60분 동안 누적한 강수량과 상관성이 가장 크게 나왔고, 면적에 대해서는 거의 차이가 없었다. 또한, 무강수 픽셀 보정방법의 하나로 구름의 성장률을 보정해 주었다. 그 결과 구름의 성장률을 보정해 주었을 때 상관계수가 0.05 이상 상승하였다.
