Abstract

Detection of water bodies in land surface is an essential part of disaster monitoring, such as flood, storm surge, and tsunami, and plays an important role in analyzing spatial and temporal variation of water cycle. In this study, a quantitative comparison of different thresholding-based methods for water body detection and their applicability to Kompsat-5 SAR data were presented. In addition, the effect of speckle filtering on the detection result was analyzed. Furthermore, the variations of threshold values by the proportion of the water body area in the whole image were quantitatively evaluated. In order to improve the binary classification performance, a new water body detection algorithm based on the bimodality test and the majority filtering is presented.

육상의 수체를 탐지하는 것은 홍수, 태풍, 지진해일과 같은 재해 모니터링에 있어 핵심적인 사항이며, 습지, 빙하 등 지표 수자원의 시 공간적 변화를 파악하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 Kompsat-5 SAR 영상으로부터 육상의 수체를 탐지하기 위하여 임계값에 기반한 접근방법의 적용성을 분석하고, 다양한 임계값 설정 기법의 탐지 성능을 평가하였다. 또한 SAR 영상의 스펙클 필터링이 임계값 설정에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 영상에서 수체가 차지하는 비율에 따른 탐지 성능의 변화에 대한 정량적인 평가를 수행하였다. 추가적으로 탐지 성능을 향상시키기 위해 히스토그램의 bimodality 검정과 majority filtering 처리를 활용하는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 세종시 지역의 사례의 경우 제안된 알고리즘을 통해 최종적으로 약 96%의 탐지율과 0.3%의 오탐지율로 수체를 탐지할 수 있음을 보였다.
