Because satellite images have the advantage of high resolution, multi-spectral, revisit and wide swath characteristics, it is increased to utilize satellite image and get information little by little in nowadays. In order to utilize remote sensed images effectively, it is necessary to process satellite images through many processing steps. Among them, geometric correction is essential step for satellite image processing. In this study, we constructed geometric correction data using LANDSAT satellite images. First, we extracted GCPs from maps and constructed database over the Korean peninsular. Second, LANDSAT satellite images, 165 scenes were corrected geometrically using GCP database. Finally, we made 7 mosaic images by means of geometric correction images over Korean peninsular. We think that constructed geometric correction data will be used for many application fields as basic data.

Geotechnical Information which had been constructing and offering by Minister of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs (MLTM) has been target on the whole of country. Today, the 100,000 number of geotechnical data has been managed as 2d GIS database. But, it is difficult to apply this database for analyzing and designing geotechnical works. In this paper, we have developed Geotechnical Information Application System (GIAS) based 3d geo-spatial information technique for the effective uses. First, GIAS based on GIS framework was implemented to effectively find out spatial geologic structure of study area. Second, we invited some experts from each field and listened their opinions. According to the surveying on the applicability-ratio, the experts showed higher interest in this system. In this study, it was verified that the 3d GIS-based system was very useful for the usability-ratio.

Recently, AR applications provide location-based spatial information by GPS. Also, the spatial information is displayed by the angle of the camera. So far, traditional spatial indexes in spatial database field retrieve and filter spatial information by the minimum bounding rectangle (MBR) algorithm.(ex. R-tree) MBR strategy is a useful technique in the geographic information systems and location based services. But MBR technique doesn't reflect the characteristics of spatial queries in AR. Spatial queries of AR applications have high possibility of the dead space area between MBRs of non-leaf node and query area. We propose triangle node filtering algorithm that improved efficiency of spatial retrieval used the triangle node filtering techniques by exclusion the dead space. In this paper, the proposed algorithm has been implemented on PostgreSQL/PostGIS. Experimental results show the spatial retrieval that using the proposed algorithm better performance than the spatial retrieval that of the minimum bounding rectangle algorithm.

The modification of digital maps because of creation, extinction, and change of topology can be expressed by change of information. But according to complication of society, topology of digital maps and relation with another objects is more complicated. We carry out partial update using as-built drawings to reflect in digital maps efficiently with maintaining accuracy and update. This supplement a weak point of partial update without field surveying. But unlike creation and extinction of file with information or of entire database, when each object is changed, added problem will come like change of raw data and of updating date. So it is necessary that history data about creation, change and extinction of spatial data and attribute data have to be chosen and managed. In this study, we analyze operations of updating system of digital map using as-built drawings, and suggest the history database system.

We have developed the 45-Van system in order to maximize the interoperability of spatial data in 45(GNSS, SIIS, GIS, ITS) by sharing and providing spatial data of remote site. The 4S-Van system enables to acquisition and production of information for GIS database and the accurate position information by combining and connecting GPS/IMU, laser, CCD(charged-coupled device) image, and wireless telecommunication technology. That is, 4S-Van system measures its position and attitude using integrated GPS/IMU and takes two photographs of the front scene by two CCD cameras, analyzes position of objects by space intersection method, and constructs database that has compatibility with existing vector database system. Furthermore, infrared camera and wireless communication technique can be applied to the 4S-Van for a variety of applications. In this paper, we discuss the design and functions of 4S-Van that is equipped with GPS, CCD camera, and IMU.

Extraction of interesting and general knowledge from large spatial database is an important task in the development of geographical information system and knowledge-base systems. In this paper, we propose a spatial data mining system using generalization method; In this system, we extend an existing generalization mining and design a rulebase to support deriving new spatial knowledge. For this purpose, we propose an interleaved method which integrates spatial data dominated and nonspatial data dominated mining and construct a rulebase to extract topological relationship between spatial objects.

To solve of complex problems for access and management data stored in the very large spatial database system that need to constructed metadata for the physical and logical elements concerned with spatial and non-spatial data sets. Also, in the underground water management system which managed with spatial and non-spatial elements, need to spatial features metadata system based on feature-based. We, in this paper, proposed metadata model for the feature-based underground water management system using underground water meta-information inputted on the DXF formatted tile-based geological maps. Additional, we modeled metadata level of feature and data set and presented standard specification of underground water metadata.

Spatial relationships among objects are one of the important ingredients for expressing constraints of an image in image or multimedia retrieval systems. In this paper, we propose a unified image retrieval scheme using spatial relationships among objects and their features. The proposed scheme is especially effective in computing similarity between query image and images in the database. Also, objects and their spatial relationships are captured and annotated in XML. It could give better precision and flexibility in retrieving images from database. Finally, we have implemented a prototype system for retrieving images based on proposed technique and showed some of the experiment results.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the landslide susceptibility, containing the process, which reveals spatial relationships between landslides and geospatial data sets, which occurred in Janghung area in 1998. Landslide locations were detected from remotely sensed image and field survey and topography, soil, forest, and land use data sets were constructed as a spatial database in GIS. As the landslide occurrence factors, slope, aspect, curvature and type of topography, texture, material, drainage and effective thickness of soil, type, age, diameter and density of wood and land use were used. To extract the relationship between landslides and geospatial database, likelihood ratio was calculated and compared with the result of Yongin area. Also, the landslide susceptibility index was calculated by summation of the likelihood ratio and the landslide susceptibility map was generated using the index. As a result, it is expected that spatial relationships between landslides and geospatial database is helpful to explain the characteristics of lilndslide and the landslide susceptibility map is used to reduce associated hazards, and to plan land use and construction.

Recently, open sources for geo-spatial information processing and analysis are being developed, and they are widely adopted for the various application development projects. Open sources in the geo-spatial communities consist in several levels or types: viewer, API-level, engine sources of SDK-level, or toolkits. Among them, spatial database engine of PostgreSQL-PostGIS is used in this study for the portable multi-geospatial information processing toolkit. This work can be extended to target-based applications with domain-specific spatial queries and analyses. Design and implementation are based on C Language Interface (LIBPQ) to PostGIS and OGC library on PostgreSQL database. Conclusively, PostGIS according to this approach is an important alternative to develop most applications dealing with multi-geospatial information due to its availability, extensibility, scalability, and stability.
