We improved the MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) land cover map over the Asia-Oceania region through the reclassification of the misclassified pixels. The misclassified pixels are defined where the number of land cover types are greater than 3 from the 12 years of MODIS land cover map. The ratio of misclassified pixels in this region amounts to 17.53%. The MODIS Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series over the correctly classified pixels showed that continuous variation with time without noises. However, there are so many unreasonable fluctuations in the NDVI time series for the misclassified pixels. To improve the quality of input data for the reclassification, we corrected the MODIS NDVI using Correction based on Spatial and Temporal Continuity (CSaTC) developed by Cho and Suh (2013). Iterative Self-Organizing Data Analysis (ISODATA) was used for the clustering of NDVI data over the misclassified pixels and land cover types was determined based on the seasonal variation pattern of NDVI. The final land cover map was generated through the merging of correctly classified MODIS land cover map and reclassified land cover map. The validation results using the 138 ground truth data showed that the overall accuracy of classification is improved from 68% of original MODIS land cover map to 74% of reclassified land cover map.

The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on-board the NASA's Terra spacecraft provides along-track digital stereo image data at 15m resolution with a base-height ratio 0.6. Automated stereocorrelation procedure was implemented using the ENVI 4.1 software to derive DEMs with $15m{\times}15m$ in 43km long and 50km wide area using the ASTER stereo images. The accuracy of DEMs was analyzed in comparison with those which were obtained from digital topographic maps of 1:25,000 scale. Results indicate that RMSE in elevation between ${\pm}7$ and ${\pm}20m$ could be achieved. Excluding cloud, water and building areas as the factors which make RMSE value exceeding 10m, the accuracy of DEMs showed RMSE of ${\pm}5.789m$. Therefore for the purpose of elevating accuracy of topographic information, we intended to detect the cloud areas and shadow areas by a landcover classification method, remove those areas on the ASTER DEM and then replace with those areas detached from the cartographic DEM by band math.

도시와 산업의 발달 및 인구증가로 인하여 다양한 종류의 대기오염물질이 대기 중으로 대량 배출되고 있다. 대기 중의 입자상 및 가스상 오염물질들은 강수, 안개 및 응축 등에 의한 습식침착(wet deposition)과 강수의 영향없이 진행되는 중력침강, 확산, 관성충돌 등에 의한 건식침착(dry deposition) 의 과정에 의해 대기 중에서 제거된다(Legge and Krupa, 1990). 일반적으로 습식침착은 구름 내에서 응핵(nuclei)으로 작용하여 오염물질이 제거되는 rain-out 과정과 비 또는 눈 등의 강하시 충돌, 간섭, 흡수 및 흡착과정에 의해 제거되는 세정과정(wash-out)으로 분류될 수 있다.

실 지형정보를 이용한 3D 가상환경은 사용자에게 좀 더 현실에 가까운 교육환경을 제공한다. 3D 가상환경에 사용되는 지형정보는 mesh를 생성하기 위한 고도 data와 mapping을 위한 위성영상이나 항공사진 등이 사용된다. 고도 데이터는 DEM,DTED와 같은 데이터 포맷이 있는데 해상도에 따라 초단위 또는 M 단위로 다양하게 분류되어 있으며 위성영상이나 항공사진도 해상도에 따라 50M∼10Cm 까지 다양하여 사용목적에 맞는 데이터 선택이 필요하다. 고도데이터와 mapping 데이터를 이용하여 기본적인 3D 지형을 생성한 후에 안개나 비, 눈, 빛, 구름과 같은 기상환경을 시뮬레이션하거나 건물이나 이정표, 또는 텍스트 같은 사용자 정보를 Vector overlay 하여 좀 더 현실감 있는 3D 가상환경을 만들 수 있다. 최근에는 인터넷이 일반화되면서 네트웍을 통해 지명데이터를 전송하고 렌더링 하고자 하는 요구가 발생하고 있다. 그러나 3차원 가상환경을 위한 지형 데이터는 2D 데이터에 비해 크기가 크고 고사양의 하드웨어사양을 필요로 하여 네트웍을 통해 전송하고 랜더링 하기에는 여러 가지 제약이 따른다. 이러한 재약을 극복하기 위해 데이터를 한꺼번에 전송하지 않고 점진적으로 전송하고자 하는 연구가 많이 있어 왔으며 점진적 메쉬나 딜로니 규칙에 기반한 TIN 압축 점진적 시각화 기법, DEM 웨이블릿 변환을 적용한 저장, 전송 렌더링 하고자 하는 연구가 시도되어 왔다.

태깅은 웹 2.0의 핵심 기술 중 하나로, 매우 유연하고 역동적인 분류 체계를 제공한다. 하지만 유연성과 역동성의 확보에 의해 계층 구조나 연관 관계와 같은 태그의 관계성이 부족하거나 존재하지 않는 한계점을 가지고 있는 것 또한 사실이다. 이런 한계점을 보완하기 위한 방법으로 계층 관계를 형성하기 위한 계층 클러스터링 방법과, 연관 관계를 형성하기 위한 협업 필터링 방법이 존재한다. 이 두 가지 방법은 태그의 관계성을 제공하지만, 연관 관계와 계층 관계 중 하나만 제공한다는 단점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 태그 검색 시 연관 관계뿐 아니라 계층 구조의 탐색을 제공해주기 위한 태그 클러스터링 알고리즘을 설계하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 사용자 태그셋을 활용하여 태그의 유사성을 계산하는 방법을 제시하고, 기존의 시각화 방법(태그 구름)과 다른 새로운 형태로 시각화 할 수 있는 결과 데이터를 제공한다.

In order to predict frostfall, nocturnal cooling rate and air temperature changes were analyzed on days with and without frost when the maximum temperature was lower than $20^{\circ}C$. In general, the nocturnal cooling rates on frosty days were higher than those on non-frosty days. The cooling rates averaged from 19:00 to 24:00 on frosty and non-frosty days were $1.7^{\circ}Ch^{-1}$ and $0.7^{\circ}Ch^{-1}$ respectively. As expected, the nocturnal temperature on frosty days was lower than that on non-frosty days. Especially, the midnight air temperature averaged about $3.9{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$ on frosty days, which was lower than that on non-frosty days (i.e., $10.1{\pm}2.9^{\circ}C$). The discriminant analysis using three independent variables (i.e., total cloud amount, air temperature at 24:00, and 5-day rainfall amount) successfully classified the presence of frost with 87% accuracy.

To establish a monthly data collection planning for the Ocean Scanning Multispectral Imager (OSMI), we have examined the global patterns of three impacting factors: pigment concentration, cloud cover, and sun glint. Other than satellite mission constraints (e.g., duty cycle), these three factors are considered critical for the OSMI data collection. The Nimbus-7 Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) monthly mean products and the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) monthly mean products (C2) were used for the analysis of pigment concentration and cloud cover distributions, respectively. And the monthly-simulated patterns of sun glint were produced by performing the OSMI orbit prediction and the calculation of sun glint radiances at the top-of-atmosphere (TOA). Using monthly statistics (mean and/or standard deviation) of each factor in the above for a given 10$^{\circ}$ latitude by 10$^{\circ}$ longitude grid, we generated the priority map for each month. The priority maps of three factors for each month were subsequently superimposed to visualize the impact of three factors in all. The initial results illustrated that a large part of oceans in the summer hemisphere was classified into the low priority regions because of seasonal changes of clouds and sun illumination. Sensitivity tests for different sets of classifications were performed and demonstrated the seasonal effects of clouds and sun glint to be robust.

Landsat 7 ETM+ sensor is getting imageries in the SLC-off state since May 31, 2003 due to mechanical defect of SLC(Scan Line Corrector). Therefore additional correction works are required to use these imageries. In this study, Landsat 7 SLC-off imageries were corrected using Gapfill function and compared with Landsat 5 around the same time. Most of pixels in omitted areas due to SLC-off by producing SLC-off imageries and imageries without visual incompatibility could be achieved as there were not unnatural noises. Also, the corrected imageries were performed land cover classification which was compared with the classification result using reference image. To do this, it could be suggested the possibility of SLC-off imagery. Landsat 7 SLC-off corrected imageries will improve the difficult conditions to detect changes of large areas and be used to detect changes of large areas and classify imageries as well as to recover imagery loss arising regionally such as small scale cloud, etc.

We conducted a total of 28 surveys from March to October 2016 in Gayasan National Park, to identify threatened plants for climate change, as well as for the effective management of biological organisms and resources against climate changes in Korea. Regarding threatened plants for climate change, we identified a total of 39 taxa, with 11 northern, 2 southern, and 26 taxa of concern. Among these taxa, 33 were identified as wild species. The species threatened by climate change located in the subalpine regions of Gayasan National Park were Abies holophylla Maxim., Abies koreana Wilson, Pinus koraiensis Siebold & Zucc., Betula ermanii Cham., Berberis amurensis Rupr., Rhododendron tschonoskii Maxim., Vaccinium hirtum var. koreanum (Nakai) Kitam., Primula modesta var. hannasanensis T.Yamaz., Trientalis europaea var. arctica (Fisch.) Ledeb., Thymus quinquecostatus Celak., Parasenecio firmus (Kom.) Y.L.Chen, and Lilium cernuum Kom. These species are expected to be particularly vulnerable to the effects of global warming, since they were confirmed to have a very narrow vertical distribution range. Moreover, although the following species are not included in the list of plants threatened by climate change, it is assumed that the endemic species that grow at the summit, and Grade V floristics special plants, such as Pedicularis hallaisanensis Hurus., Allium thunbergii var. deltoides (S.O.Yu, S.Lee & W.Lee) H.J.Choi & B.U.Oh, Heloniopsis tubiflora Fuse, N.S.Lee & M.N. Tamura, Aletris glabra Bureau & Franch, and Gymnadenia cucullata (L.) Rich., will also be extremely vulnerable to climate change. Therefore, we believe that measures for the conservation of these species are urgently needed, and also that the definition of species threatened by climate change should be broadened to include more objective and valid taxa through the long-term monitoring of species distributed around the summit area.
