Generation of accurate ground coordinates from high resolution satellite image are becoming increasingly of interest. The primary focus of this paper is to compute satellite direct sensor model (DSM) and rational function model (RFM) for accurate generation of ground coordinates from high resolution satellite images. Being based on this we presented an algorithm to be able to efficiently ground coordinates about large area with introducing RFM(rational function model) method applied to rigorous sensor modeling standing on basis of satellite orbit dynamics and collinearity equation, and sensor modeling of high-resolution satellite data like IKONOS, QuickBird, KOMPSAT-2 and others. The general high resolution satellite measures the position, velocity and attitude data of satellite using star, gyro, and GPS sensors.

The emergence of high resolution satellite images and the evolution of spatial resolution facilitate various studies using high resolution satellite images. Above all, target detection algorithms are effective for monitoring of traffic flow and military surveillance and reconnaissance because vehicles, airplanes, and ships on broad area could be detected easily using high resolution satellite images. Recently, many satellites are launched from global countries and the diversity of satellite images are also increased. On the contrary, studies on comparison about the spatial resolution or target detection, especially, are insufficient in domestic and foreign countries. Therefore, in this study, effects of spatial resolution on target detection are analyzed using the PSO target detection algorithm. The resampling techniques such as nearest neighbor, bilinear, and cubic convolution are adopted to resize the original image into 0.5m, 1m, 2m, 4m spatial resolutions. Then, accuracy of target detection is assessed according to not only spatial resolution but also resampling method. As a result of the study, the resolution of 0.5m and nearest neighbor among the resampling methods have the best accuracy. Additionally, it is necessary to satisfy the criteria of 2m and 4m resolution for the detection of airplane and ship, respectively. The detection of airplane need more high spatial resolution than ship because of their complexity of shape. This research suggests the appropriate spatial resolution for the plane and ship target detection and contributes to the criteria of satellite sensor design.

Sensor modeling of high-resolution satellites is a prerequisite procedure for mapping and GIS applications. Sensor models, describing the geometric relationship between scene and object, are divided into two main categories, which are rigorous and approximate sensor models. A rigorous model is based on the actual geometry of the image formation process, involving internal and external characteristics of the implemented sensor. However, approximate models require neither a comprehensive understanding of imaging geometry nor the internal and external characteristics of the imaging sensor, which has gathered a great interest within photogrammetric communities. This paper described a comparison between rigorous and various approximate sensor models that have been used to determine three-dimensional positions, and proposed the appropriate sensor model in terms of the satellite imagery usage. Through the case study of using IKONOS satellite scenes, rigorous and approximate sensor models have been compared and evaluated for the positional accuracy in terms of acquirable number of ground controls. Bias compensated RFM(Rational Function Model) turned out to be the best among compared approximate sensor models, both modified parallel projection and parallel-perspective model were able to be modelled with a small number of controls. Also affine transformation, one of the approximate sensor models, can be used to determine the planimetric position of high-resolution satellites and perform image registration between scenes.

Image segmentation technique is becoming increasingly important in the field of remote sensing image analysis in areas such as object oriented image classification to extract object regions of interest within images. This paper presents a new method for image segmentation to consider spectral and spatial information of high resolution satellite image. Firstly, the initial seeds were automatically selected using local variation of multi-spectral edge information. After automatic selection of significant seeds, a segmentation was achieved by applying MSRG which determines the priority of region growing using information drawn from similarity between the extracted each seed and its neighboring points. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the results obtained using the proposed method were compared with the results obtained using conventional region growing and watershed method. The quantitative comparison was done using the unsupervised objective evaluation method and the object-based classification result. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method has good potential for application in the object-based analysis of high resolution satellite images.

Remotely sensed data provide valuable information on land monitoring due to multi-temporal observation over large areas. Especially, high resolution imagery with 0.6~1.0 m spatial resolutions contain a wealth of information and therefore are very useful for thematic mapping and monitoring change in urban areas. Recently, remote sensing technology has been successfully utilized for natural disaster monitoring such as forest fire, earthquake, and floods. In this paper, an efficient change detection method based on texture differences observed from high resolution multi-temporal data sets is proposed for mapping disaster damage and extracting damage information. It is composed of two parts: feature extraction and detection process. Timely and accurate information on disaster damage can provide an effective decision making and response related to damage.

Some kinds of precision optical systems for spaceborne high resolution cameras were designed at preliminary design level and an optical design for a hyperspectral imager was performed for its development model. A Cassegrain-based catadioptric system and an unobscured reflective triplet system are illustrated in detail for spaceborne high resolution electro optical cameras which have performance of 5m resolution at an altitude of 685km and the design are evaluated in its spot-diagram and MTF to prove they have good performance enough to implement the requirements for realistic satellite payload taking the fabrication conditions and the on-orbit operation into consideration. For the development of hyperspectral imager as a next-generation payload, an optical system has been designed and elaborated. It can be divided into two parts, a catoptric telescope forming an off-axis 2 mirror type and a dispersive spectrometer which comprises collimator, grating and reimaging lens cell. From its optical design to the system characteristics are shown with the MTF performance reaching 25% approximately.

해상도가 높아질수록 위성 탑재 카메라의 광학적 설계 조건은 까다롭다. 특히 1m급의 고해상도 영상을 얻기 위해서는 개념설계 단계에서부터 여러 가지 기술적인 면과 운용적인 면을 동시에 고려해야 하며 이러한 조건들이 상호 연관성을 가지면서 광학계의 형태나 성능을 결정하므로 다양한 해석과 분석이 필요하다. 해상도, 촬영고도, 관측폭 그리고 촬영소자의 크기에 의해 광학계의 초점거리가 결정되며 광학계의 유효구경을 추가하면 신호량 성능에 대한 예측이 가능하다. (중략)

지난 수십년간 대한민국은 고도의 경제성장을 하였다 수도 서울은 인구 증가, 농지의 감소, 도로 및 사회기반시설물의 건설, 하천정비 등의 과정을 거치면서 빠르게 도시화가 진행되었다. 이렇게 많은 변화가 일어난 서울 지역을 모니터링하고 분석하기 위한 시도는 여러 차례 있었으며 대표적인 예로 LANDSAT 영상을 이용한 도시화 분석이 환경부(2001, 8, 7)를 통해 발표되었다. 본 논문에서는 과거 미국의 고해상도 첩보위성 프로잭트인 CORONA 영상을 이용하여 지금으로부터 30여년 전의 서울의 모습을 재현할 수 있었으며 1990년대의 SPOT 영상과 비교하여 도시화가 얼마나 가속화되었는지를 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 용담댐 유역을 대상으로 저수위/저수량 모니터링 및 예측을 위하여 고해상도 위성관측 자료를 이용하는 방법과 위성으로부터 추출한 강수량 자료로부터 가뭄지수를 이용한 저수위를 모니터링하고 SSA를 이용한 PCA방법으로 예측모델을 구축하여 가뭄을 예측하는 방법을 개발하였다. 용담댐 저수위와 SPI(3)와의 상관계수가 0.78로 매우 높은 상관성을 보였으며, 위성자료를 통하여 산정한 가뭄지수를 활용하여 댐 저수위/저수량 모니터링 및 예측 가능성을 진단하였다. SSA에 의한 주성분 분석결과 SPI(3)과 각 RC자료의 상관관계를 분석한 결과 CC=0.87~0.99의 높은 상관성을 보였으며, 표준화된 댐 저수위(N-W.S.L.)와 RC자료의 상관관계를 분석한 결과 CC=0.83~0.97의 비교적 높은 상관성을 보임을 확인하였다. 또한, Sentinel-2 위성의 MSI (Multi-Spectral Instrument) 센서로 댐수위의 변화를 모니터링하기 위해 지수 기법을 적용하여 수체 탐지 알고리즘을 개발하였으며, 용담댐유역에 대해 2016년부터 2018년까지의 수계 면적 변화를 분석하였다. 이를 기반으로 Sentinel-2 위성영상으로 추출한 수계 면적 변화를 이용하여 가뭄감시 분야에 대한 활용 가능성을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다양한 위성관측자료로부터 미계측 지역의 저수량 모니터링과 수문학적 가뭄 모니터링/예측에 활용이 가능할 것이다.
