A number of navigation improvements are envisaged : Differential GPS - WAAS, LAAS, and Performance Based Navigation. The GPS receiver verifies the integrity(usability) of the signals received from the GPS constellation through a process called receiver autonomous integrity monitoring(RAIM) to determine if a satellite is providing corrupted information. This paper describe the RAIM function and Performance-Based Navigation implementation of Mission Equipment Package(MEP) for Korean Utility Helicopter.

Method for improving the image quality are divided into a tone mapping method and a retinex theory based method. Typical example of the image quality enhancement method using tone mapping method is one using image characteristics like histogram. In this paper, we propose a hardware design of real-time wide dynamic range algorithm based on tone mapping method for image quality enhancement. The proposed method divides the image into the luminance and chroma components and then improves the chroma region based on the variation of the luminance component. Adding to that, it is designed to be compatible with the existing 8-bit signal, using high quality image with 12-bit extended signal according to the desired flow. As a result of simulation, it is confirmed that the image quality is improved, and the hardware design is confirmed that the real-time operations is possible at the maximum frequency at 138.26MHz.

For the purpose of improving the accuracy of Wide Area Differential GNSS (WA-DGNSS), estimation performance of ionospheric delay error which has a great impact on GPS error sources should be enhanced. This paper applied multi-constellation GNSS which represents GPS in USA, GLONASS in Russia, and Galileo in Europe to WA-DGNSS algorithm in order to improve performance of ionospheric delay estimation. Furthermore, we conducted simulation to analyze ionospheric delay estimation performance in Korean region by increasing the number of reference stations. Consequently, using multi-constellation GNSS to improve performance of ionospheric delay estimation is more effective than increasing the number of reference stations in spite of similar number of measurements which are in use for estimation. We expect this result can contribute to improvement for ionospheric delay estimation performance of single-frequency SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) user.

Wide area augmentation system is a system that generates and transmits correction and Integrity information for use in wide area. Typical system is SBAS. In the United States, it operates under the name WAAS, EGNOS in Europe, MSAS in Japan, SDCM in Russia, GAGAN in India. it is developing Korean SBAS which named KASS by 2022 in Korea. SBAS is a standard System that is operated as civil aviation service base and set as international standards by ICAO. So the correction data can only is used for civil SPS receiver. In this paper, we discuss C1P1 DCB estimation which need to use SPS correction service for PPS receiver. Then we analyze C1P1 DCB correction effect under standalone Satellite Navigation and method to use PPS receiver under SPS DGPS. Finally we organize wide area augmentation system for PPS receiver and analysis performance.

The precipitable water vapor (PW) was estimated using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) from several GNSS stations within the Korean Peninsula. Nearby radiosonde sites covering the GNSS stations were used for the comparison and validation of test results. GNSS data recorded under typical and severe weather conditions were used to generalize our approach. Based on the analysis, we have confirmed that the derived PW values from the GNSS observables were well agreed on the estimates from the radiosonde observables within 10 mm level. Assuming that the GNSS observables could be a good weather monitoring tool, we further tested the performance of the current WAAS tropospheric delay model, UNB3, in the Korean Peninsula. Especially, the wet zenith delays estimated from the GNSS observables and from UNB3 delay model were compared. Test results showed that the modelled approach for the troposphere (i.e., UNB3) did not perform well especially under the wet weather conditions in the Korean Peninsula. It was suggested that a new model or a near real-time model (e.g., based on regional model from GNSS or numerical weather model) would be highly desirable for the Korean WA-DGNSS to minimize the effects of the tropospheric delay and hence to achieve high precision vertical navigation solutions.

The overseas calibration sites such as Mongolia used for Korea Multi-purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT-5 or K5), have a disadvantage in that maintenance and repair costs are high and immediate response is difficult when an unexpected problem occurs. Accordingly, the necessity of establishing a domestic SAR calibration site was suggested, but the progress of related research is insignificant. In this paper, we investigated what conditions should be satisfied in terms of backscattering characteristics to construct a site for SAR satellite image quality evaluation and calibration. First of all, it was selected first by applying general indicators such as accessibility and availability among places recommended as satellite image calibration candidate sitesin Korea. Next, three places, site A (Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do), site B (Jeonju-si, Jeollabuk-do), and site C (Daedeok Research Complex, Daejeon), were selected as the final candidates because they are relatively wide and easy to install AT or CR. Site A, located in Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do, was best considered in terms of slope measurements, minimum site area to obtain ISLR, uniformity of DN values and backscatter coefficients, interference by strong reflectors, and backscatter clutter level.

2019년 발생한 인천광역시 붉은 수돗물 사태로 급수구역에 포함된 26만 1천 세대, 63만 5천 명이 직·간접적인 피해를 입은 바 있다. 경제적 피해액으로 추정할 경우 최소 1,280억 원 이상으로 보고된 바 있으며, 이와 같은 상수관망의 수질사고 확산은 장기간 동안 시민의 건강과 생활환경 수준을 저하시킨다. 따라서 상수도시스템의 수질사고확산 모델링 및 방지기술을 통한 수질안전성의 재확인이 필요하며, 이것은 상수도시스템의 지속가능성을 높여 국민이 체감하는 물 환경 수준 제고에 기여가 가능하다. 관망 내 수질해석을 직접적으로 수행하는 모델은 국외적으로 다양하게 개발(PODDS, EPANET-MSX, EPANET2.2 등)된 바 있으나 검·보정을 위한 수질측정 자료 부족 등으로 적용이 제한적이라는 한계가 현재에도 존재한다. 이를 보완하기 위해 수질자료에 비해 그 양이 많고 획득방법이 상대적으로 수월한 수리학적 계측자료 및 해석결과를 활용한 관로 내 체류시간 등을 활용한 연구가 수행된 바 있다. 그러나 이와 같은 수리학적 해석 결과를 활용하는 경우에도 계측자료를 기반으로 한 수리학적 검·보정은 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 관로 내 체류시간에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 유량 및 유속자료를 중심으로 수리학적 관망해석의 결과를 최적 검·보정하는 방법론을 제안하였다. 기존 상수관망 수리해석의 검·보정은 일부 지점에서 수압을 측정하고, 수리해석 결과로 도출되는 해당 지점의 수압이 실측된 결과와 유사하도록 관로의 유속계수를 적절히 보정하는 형태로 진행되었다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 관로유량과 유속자료의 목적함수 내 가중치를 수압자료보다 크게 설정하여 체류시간 중심의 검·보정이 수행될 수 있도록 하였으며, 검·보정 대상인자 역시 대수용가의 수요량, 수요패턴, 그리고 관로유속계수로 확장된 모형을 구축하였다. 최적화 기법으로는 메타휴리스틱 기법중 하나인 화음탐색법을 활용하였다. EPANET 2.2 Toolkit과 Visual Basic .Net을 연계하여 프로그래밍하였으며, 개발된 모형을 실제 지방상수도 시스템에 적용하여 분석하였다.

SAR 시스템은 능동적 센서로 마이크로파라 불리우는 전자기파를 직접 지상에 보내고 돌아오는 신호의 위상과 진폭을 이용하여 영상으로 나타내는 간섭성 시스템이다. 이러한 영상의 특성으로 인해 날씨나 태양의 유 무에 상관없이 영상을 취득할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한, 최근에는 기존의 다중분광 위성영상과의 SAR 영상의 Data Fusion을 통해 지상의 새로운 정성적 정보를 취득하려는 시도 등 나날이 그 활용성이 증대되고 있는 상황이다. 그러나 SAR 영상의 광범위한 활용을 위해서는 먼저 영상의 지형보정이 선행되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SAR 영상의 활용을 위해서 선행되어야 할 지형보정의 알고리즘을 컴포넌트 기반의 프로그램으로 구현하고 대상연구지역에 대한 적용을 통해 그 활용성과 가능성을 보여주고자 한다. 연구대상지역은 ERS-1, ERS-2 SAR로 촬영된 대전광역시와 그 주변지역으로 해당 SAR 영상에 대하여 엄밀지형보정 알고리즘과 경사거리 영상을 지상거리 영상으로 변환하는 알고리즘을 개발하여 적용하였다. 실험결과 공칭해상도 30m의 ERS 영상에 대하여 39.7m(X방향으로 24.5m, Y방향으로 31.3m)의 수평오차를 나타내었으며 경사거리 영상의 지상거리 영상으로의 변환도 원활하게 수행됨을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 본 연구를 통해 연구된 모든 알고리즘은 컴포넌트 기반으로 설계하고 구현되어 향후 국내 SAR 처리기술 개발에 있어서 공유할 수 있도록 하였다.

In this study, the series of Landsat TM/ETM+ images was acquired to extract land surface temperature for wide-area and executed geometric correction and radiometric correction. And the land surface temperature was extracted using NASA Model, and achieved the first correction by performing land coverage category for study area and applied characteristic emission rate. Land surface temperature which was acquired by the first correction was analyzed in correlation with Meteorological Administration's temperature data by regression analysis, and established correction formula. And I wished to improve accuracy of land surface temperature extraction using satellite image by second correcting deviations between two data using establishing correction formula. As a result, land surface temperature acquired by 1st and 2st correction could be corrected in mean deviation of about ${\pm}3.0^{\circ}C$ with Meteorological Administration data. Also, I could acquire land surface temperature about study area by higher accuracy by applying to other Landsat images for re-verification of study results.
