Wetlands, defined as lands periodically inundated or exposed during the year, are crucial for sustaining biodiversity and filtering environmental pollutants. The importance of mapping and monitoring their topographical changes is therefore paramount. This study focuses on the topographical variations at the Incheon River estuary wetland post-restoration, noting a lack of adequate prior measurements. Using a multi-temporal Sentinel-1 dataset from October 2014 to March 2023, we mapped long-term variations in water bodies and detected topographical change anomalies using a pixel-frequency approach. Our analysis, based on 196 Sentinel-1 acquisitions from an ascending orbit, revealed significant topography changes. Since 2020, employing the pixel-frequency technique, we observed area increases of +0.0195, 0.0016, 0.0075, and 0.0163 km² in water level sections at depths of 2-3 m, 1-2 m, 0-1 m, and less than 0 m, respectively. These findings underscore the effectiveness of the wetland restoration efforts in the area.

Time-series data generated from satellite data are crucial resources for change detection and monitoring across various fields. Existing research in time-series data generation primarily relies on single-image analysis to maintain data uniformity, with ongoing efforts to enhance spatial and temporal resolutions by utilizing diverse image sources. Despite the emphasized significance of time-series data, there is a notable absence of automated data collection and preprocessing for research purposes. In this paper, to address this limitation, we propose a system that automates the collection of satellite information in user-specified areas to generate time-series data. This research aims to collect data from various satellite sources in a specific region and convert them into time-series data, developing an automatic satellite image collection system for this purpose. By utilizing this system, users can collect and extract data for their specific regions of interest, making the data immediately usable. Experimental results have shown the feasibility of automatically acquiring freely available Landsat and Sentinel images from the web and incorporating manually inputted high-resolution satellite images. Comparisons between automatically collected and edited images based on high-resolution satellite data demonstrated minimal discrepancies, with no significant errors in the generated output.

Since the release of Meta's Segment Anything Model (SAM), a large-scale vision transformer generation model with rapid image segmentation capabilities, several studies have been conducted to apply this technology in various fields. In this study, we aimed to investigate the applicability of SAM for water bodies detection and extraction using the QGIS Geo-SAM plugin, which enables the use of SAM with satellite imagery. The experimental data consisted of Compact Advanced Satellite 500 (CAS500)-1 images. The results obtained by applying SAM to these data were compared with manually digitized water objects, Open Street Map (OSM), and water body data from the National Geographic Information Institute (NGII)-based hydrological digital map. The mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) calculated for all features extracted using SAM and these three-comparison data were 0.7490, 0.5905, and 0.4921, respectively. For features commonly appeared or extracted in all datasets, the results were 0.9189, 0.8779, and 0.7715, respectively. Based on analysis of the spatial consistency between SAM results and other comparison data, SAM showed limitations in detecting small-scale or poorly defined streams but provided meaningful segmentation results for water body classification.

The intertidal zone, which is a transitional zone between the ocean and the land, requires continuous monitoring as various changes occur rapidly due to artificial activity and natural disturbance. Monitoring of coastal topography changes using remote sensing method is evaluated to be effective in overcoming the limitations of intertidal zone accessibility and observing long-term topographic changes in intertidal zone. Most of the existing coastal topographic monitoring studies using remote sensing were conducted through high spatial resolution images such as Landsat and Sentinel. This study extracted the waterline using the NDWI from the GOCI-II (Geostationary Ocean Color Satellite-II) data, identified the changes in the intertidal area in Gyeonggi Bay according to various tidal heights, and examined the utility of DEM generation and topography altitude change observation over a short period of time. GOCI-II (249 scenes), Sentinel-2A/B (39 scenes), Landsat 8 OLI (7 scenes) images were obtained around Gyeonggi Bay from October 8, 2020 to August 16, 2021. If generating intertidal area DEM, Sentinel and Landsat images required at least 3 months to 1 year of data collection, but the GOCI-II satellite was able to generate intertidal area DEM in Gyeonggi Bay using only one day of data according to tidal heights, and the topography altitude was also observed through exposure frequency. When observing coastal topography changes using the GOCI-II satellite, it would be a good idea to detect topography changes early through a short cycle and to accurately interpolate and utilize insufficient spatial resolutions using multi-remote sensing data of high resolution. Based on the above results, it is expected that it will be possible to quickly provide information necessary for the latest topographic map and coastal management of the Korean Peninsula by expanding the research area and developing technologies that can be automatically analyzed and detected.

The security feature is essential in wireless sensor network such as intrusion detection or obstacle observation. Sensor nodes must have shared secret between nodes to support security such as privacy. Many methods which provide key pre-distribution need too many keys or support poor security. To solve this problem, probabilistic key pre-distribution is proposed. This method needs a few keys and use probabilistic method to share keys. However, this method does not guarantee key sharing between nodes, and neighbor nodes nay not communicate each other. It leads to waste of network resource such as inefficient routing, extra routing protocol. In this paper, we propose new key distribution method using quorum system which needs a few keys and guarantee key sharing between nodes. We also propose extension of the method which needs fewer keys and guarantee key sharing when node deployment knowledge is well known.

In recent days, climatic change cause abnormal weather all over the world and we have a great loss of life and property every year. In Korea, we suffer from landslide problem because large regions of Korea Peninsula are composed of mountain. In order to detect rapidly and to take follow-up measures of disaster, the remote sensing is being used actively as conventional field survey has many restrictions in accessibility because of more time and man power requirement. In additions interferometric SAR is one of the techniques that have our attention because it can provide many kinds of accurate surface information without restriction of atmospheric and ground conditions by using L-band. In this study, we aimed to monitor the displacement of mountain area in Kangwondo and this results will be used for detecting landslide. Also we build the web system for detecting and analyzing the landslide.

The 1.29 GHz wind profiler radar is a remote observation device that is useful not only for calculating wind vectors in clear air, but also for detecting rainfall. The Doppler spectrum symmetry test is essential in the horizontal wind treatment process. Since asymmetry may be detected in rainfall cases, it is necessary to reflect in the wind calculation algorithm that the sign of the radial velocity is the same according to the magnitude of the vertical velocity. In the summer of 2017 (June, July), a wind vector calculation algorithm by Bragg scattering and Rayleigh scattering was developed using Changwon wind profiler data, and verified by comparing it with radiosonde data at 6 hour intervals.

Drone, which refers to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), industries are improving rapidly and exceeding existing level of remote controlled aircraft models. Also, they are applying automation and cloud network technology. Recently, the ability of drones can bring serious threats to public safety such as explosives and unmanned aircraft carrying hazardous materials. On the purpose of reducing these kinds of threats, it is necessary to detect these illegal drones, using acoustic feature extraction and classifying technology. In this paper, we introduce sound feature vector extraction method by harmonic feature extraction method (HLA). Feature vector extraction method based on HLA make it possible to distinguish drone sound, extracting features of sound data. In order to assess the performance of distinguishing sounds which exists in outdoor environment, we analyzed various sounds of things and real drones, and classified sounds of drone and others as simulation of each sound source.

It is necessary to find characteristic phenomena related with permittivity differences for classification of liquid characteristics. If these phenomena can be remotely detected and characteristics can be extracted, it will be very useful in finding flammable liquid materials and classifying substances of these liquids. Therefore, in this paper, reflection and transmitted signals were analyzed from three receiving antennas with one transmitting antenna using wideband electromagnetic wave signals. Frequency response characteristics of reflected or transmitted signals are different according to characteristics of liquid materials. However, conventional FFT methods cannot be applied due to problems of low resolution caused by data windowing distortion. To minimize these problems, eigenvector analysis method was applied for high resolution spectrum estimation of received signals. From these results, it can be shown that classification of many kinds of liquids are possible using peak frequencies and corresponding peak power values of spectrum estimates obtained from various liquid materials.

토양수분은 전 지구 및 기후 모델 연구, 전 지구 환경 감시, 기후변화, 대기-지표의 물과 에너지 상호교환 등 중요한 역할을 한다. 최근에는 수동형 마이크로웨이브 센서를 이용하여 토양수분을 탐지하고 있으며, NASA는 공식적인 전구 토양수분을 제공하고 있다. 특히, AMSR-E(Advandced Microwave Scanning Radiometer on EOS)의 6 GHz 영역에서 산출된 토양수분은 지표 토양층(0～5 cm)의 높으 정확도의 토양 수분 정보를 제공하고 있다. 지금까지의 위성관측을 이용한 토양 수분 알고리즘은 복잡한 선행모델과 관측된 경험식을 바탕으로 한다. 이 연구의 제안한 알고리즘은 위성에서 관측된 휘도온도 정보를 이용하여 역변환 방법을 이용하여 토양수분을 산출할 수 있기에, 복잡한 선행모델 사용을 최소화하는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서 제시한 토양수분 산출 알고리즘은 각 채널(6.9 및 37 GHz)의 특성을 이용하여 거친 표면의 반사도를 산출한 후, 편광비율 특성을 이용한다. 아울러 반사도는 Hong 근사식을 이용하여 지표면 거칠기, 물질의 특성을 나타내는 유전상수를 산출하고 두 변수 사이의 관측된 경험적 관계식를 이용하여 전 지구적인 토양수분이 산출한다. 이 결과는 NASA에서 산출한 토양 수분과 현장관측 (SMEX03)의 오클라호마, 조지아 지역 관측 결과와 비교하였을 때, 사용자들이 요구하는 수준 (<0.06g/$cm^3$)의 정확도를 만족시킨다. 본 연구에서 제시된 토양수분 알고리즘은 단순성, 정확성, 물리적 기반을 바탕으로 하기에 현업용으로 그 활용 가치가 높다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 국외 토양수분산출 전용 위성들인 SMOS(Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity)와 SMAP(Soil Moisture Active/Passive) 자료들을 생산하는데 활용된다면, 전 지구적 토양수분 정보제공에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 예산된다.
