Soil structure plays an important role in ecological system, since it controls transport and storage of air, gas, nutrients and solutions. The study of soil structure requires an understanding of the interrelations and interactions between the diverse soil components at various levels of organization. Investigations of the spatial distribution of pore/particle arrangements and the geometry of soil pore space can provide important information regarding ecological or crop system. Because of conveniences in image analyses and accuracy, these investigations have been thrived for a long time. Image analyses from soil sections through impregnated blocks of undisturbed soil (2 dimensional image analyses) or from 3 dimensional scanned soils by computer tomography allow quantitative assessment of the pore space. Image analysis techniques can be used to classify pore types and quantify pore structure without inaccurate or hard labor in laboratory. In this paper, the last 50 years of the soil image analyses have been presented and measurements on various soil scales were introduced, as well. In addition to history of image analyses, a couple of examples for soil image analyses were displayed. The discussion was made on the applications of image analyses and techniques to quantify pore/soil structure.

The purpose of this preliminary study is the applied to geology using the Landsat TM satellite image of the Tanggung area of southern part of the Bandung, Indonesia to provide basic information for geological survey. For this, topography, geology and satellite image were constructed to spatial database. Digital elevation, slope, aspect, curvature, hill shade of topography were calculated from the topographic database and lithology was imported from the geological database. Lineament, lineament density, and NDVI were extracted the Landsat TM satellite image. The results showed the close relationship between geology and terrain and satellite image. Each sedimentary rock seldom corresponds with geology and analyses of topography but as a whole for sedimentary rocks coincide with them. Tuff and volcanic breccia in the volcanic rocks correspond with the result of terrain analyses. Talus deposits is well matched with the analyses of opography/satellite image.

This study analyzed image similarity, attribute recognition, and preference by multidimensional scaling. The analyses were carried out by 10 spa destinations (Deoksan, Bugok, Onyang, Yuseong, Suanbo, Bomun, Dongrae, Asan, Dogo, Haeundae) in Korea. The results were as follows: First, according to the analyses of image similarity of spa destinations, 'Haeundae, Dongrae and Bomun,' 'Dogo, Onyang, Asan,' and 'Deoksan, Suanbo, Bugok,' made similar image groups separately. However, Yuseong had different image from the other spa destinations in the above. Second, according to the analyses of attribute recognition of spa destinations, Deoksan and Bugok had more competitive ability in terms of 'the incidental facilities of spa destinations, 'Yuseong, Onyang, Asan, and Dogo' showed high competitiveness in terms of 'accessibility of spa destination' and 'tourism conditions.' Haeundae, Dongrae, and Suanbo had weak competitiveness in terms of 'the accessibility of spa destinations.' Third, according to the analyses of preference about spa destinations based on different job groups, office workers had a preference for Yuseong and Bugok, professional workers for Bomun, the people engaged in the farming, fishing, livestock raising and housewives for Haeundae and Dongrae, government officials, students, factory workers, the people living on a pension for Onyang, Deoksan and Dogo, and the self-employed for Suanbo. In conclusion, according to the analyses of spa destination preference based on different residence groups, residents of Seoul, Incheon, Gyunggi province, Gangwon province, Daejeon, Chungcheong province and Jeolla province had a preference for Yuseong, Suanbo, Onyang, Deoksan, and Asan and the residents of Daegu, Gyungsang province, Busan, Ulsan for Bugok, Bomun, and Haeundae.

Poroelastic analyses of fiber-reinforced composites were performed using image-based computational models. The section image of a porous matrix was analyzed in order to investigate the porosity, number of pores, and distribution of pores. The resolution, location, and size of the section image were considered to quantify the effective elastic modulus, poroelastic parameter, and strain energy density using the image-based computational models. The poroelastic parameter was calculated from the effective elastic modulus and pore pressure-induced strain. In addition, the results of the poroelastic analyses were verified through representative volume elements by simplifying various pore configurations and arrangements.
