Sinabung volcano in Indonesia was formed due to the subduction between the Eurasian and Indo-Australian plates along the Pacific Ring of Fire. After being dormant for about 400 years, Sinabung volcano erupted on the 29th of August, 2010 and most recently on the 1st of November, 2016. We measured the deformation of Sinabung volcano using Advanced Land Observing Satellite/Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar(ALOS/PALSAR) interferometric synthetic aperture radar(InSAR) images acquired from February 2007 to January 2011. Based on multi-temporal InSAR processing, we mapped the ground surface deformation before, during, and after the 2010 eruption with time-series InSAR technique. During the 3 years before the 2010 eruption, the volcano inflated at an average rate of ~1.7 cm/yr with a markedly higher rate of 6.6 cm/yr during the 6 months prior to the 2010 eruption. The inflation was constrained to the top of the volcano. From the 2010 eruption to January 2011,the volcano subsided by approximately 3 cm (~6 cm/yr). We interpreted that the inflation was due to magma accumulation in a shallow reservoir beneath Sinabung. The deflation was attributed to magma withdrawal from the shallow reservoir during the eruption as well as thermo-elastic compaction of erupted material. This result demonstrates once again the utility of InSAR for volcano monitoring.

이 논문에서는 다편광 Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) 관측값을 이용하여 남해안 여자만의 조간대 표면 퇴적물에 대한 지구물리학적 특성에 대한 연구를 실시하였다. 원격 탐사를 이용한 조간대 지역의 연구는 종래의 야외 조사를 통한 연구 방법의 한계를 보완할 수 있으며 특히 다편광 SAR 자료는 주 야 및 기상 상태와 관계 없이 지구 표면의 지구물리학적 정보를 정량적으로 획득 할 수 있다. 이 연구를 위하여 사용된 여자만 지역의 다편광 AIRSAR 자료는 2000 년 9 월 30 일 NASA/JPL PACRIM-II 프로젝트를 통해 획득되었다. AIRSAR 자료의 다편광 정보를 이용한 마이크로파의 산란모델을 바탕으로 조간대 지역의 표면퇴적물에서의 마이크로파 산란 특성을 연구하였다.

Polarization of the radar wave refers to the ellipticity angle and orientation angle of the polarization ellipse. An evaluation of the polarization response can help understand the scattering mechanisms involved for a particular area of interest or provide information for image classification and algorithm section. C- and L-band polarization responses measured at urban area show the results that the polarization behavior for dihedral comer reflector or short, thin cylinder reflector appears at located in city streets or buildings site which are lined up and the polarization behavior for a large conducting sphere appears at parts of test site particularly river, flat, and vegetated areas. Also, the co- and cross-polarized response graphs and polarimetric parameters are discussed.

This paper presents soil moisture retrieval from measured polarimetric backscattering coefficients of a vegetated surface. Based on the analysis of the quite complicate first-order radiative transfer scattering model for vegetated surfaces, a simplified scattering model is proposed for an inversion algorithm. Extraction of the surface-scatter component from the total scattering of a vegetation canopy is addressed using the simplified model, and also using the three-component decomposition technique. The backscattering coefficients are measured with a polarimetric L-band scatterometer during two months. At the same time, the biomasses, leaf moisture contents, and soil moisture contents are also measured. Then the measurement data are used to estimate the model parameters for vv-, hh-, and vh-polarizations. The scattering model for tall-grass-covered surfaces is inverted to retrieve the soil moisture content from the measurements using a genetic algorithm. The retrieved soil moisture contents agree quite well with the in-situ measured soil moisture data.

Speckle noise is primarily due to the phase fluctuations of the electromagnetic return signals. Since inherent spatial-correlation characteristics of speckle in SAR images are not exploited in existing multiplicative models for speckle noise. In this paper, we investigate the efficiency of the filters: Kuan, Gamma, Enhanced Lee, and Enhanced Frost filters in reduction of speckle noise in forestry area. Selection of the suitable filter can be played an important role in applications such as estimation of biomass in forestry areas. We employ ALOSPALSAR image use L-band frequency for this investigation. The filters test on different sites in PALSAR image of the northern forests part of Iran.

This contribution reports on the potential of L-band Permanent Scatterer technique for the detection and monitoring of ground subsidence. We present the use of PS in the abandoned mining area, Korea. Discrete and temporarily stable natural reflectors or permanent scatterers (PS) can be identified from long temporal series of interferometric SAR images. This subset of image pixels can be exploited successfully for high accuracy differential measurements (Ferretti et al., 2000).

Use of coherence data from operational satellite based SAR sensors has been experimented both on C and L band to identify landcover in tropics. While coherence data proved useful to improve accuracy in landcover identification, such data are not readily available. On the other hand, integrated use of backcatter data by multiple satellites is readily feasible. The very question to be asked is whether integration of backscatter data on multiple bands (e.g. C and L band) is either inferior or superior to use of coherence data. We therefore still do not have a solid clue to answer to the very question. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of "integrated use" of backscatter data on C and L band (by ERS and JERS respectively) to identify landcover, vis-a-vis the same by combination of backscatter and coherence data by single satellite. The study was carried out for an area in the southern part of the Sumatra Island, Indonesia. The area has been intensively converted from natural forest into plantation. Five categories of landcover exist in this study area. By ERS-1, only 2 or 3 classes may be identified with the backscatter data alone, while adding the coherence data could delineate 4 classes. By JERS-1, only 3 to 4 classes may be identified with the backscatter data alone, while 4 classes could be clearly delineated by adding the coherence data. By integrating backscatter data on two bands, 4 to 5 classes may be identified. It represents the best results among cases examined. The outcome of the study suggests that integrated use of backscatter data on two bands by ERS and JERS is as powerful as use of backscatter and coherence data on single band by one of these satellite.

전 세계적인 기후의 변화로 기상 이변이 속출하면서 자연재해로 인한 재산피해와 인명 손실 또한 증가하고 있다. 특히 대부분의 지형이 산지로 이루어진 우리나라의 경우 자연 재해 중 산사태로 인한 피해가 심각한 상황이며, 풍화 깊이가 얕은 국내 자연 사면의 특성상 대규모 산사태보다는 중소규모의 산사태가 광범위하게 발생하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 규모의 산사태를 관측하기 위하여 지금까지 이루어져 왔던 직접측량 방식은 국지적인 결과를 취득하는데 주로 사용되고 많은 인력과 시간이 소모되므로 광범위한 지역의 해석에는 한계가 따른다. 넓은 지역의 산사태를 잘 감지하고 신속한 대처가 이루어질 수 있도록 하기 위해 최근 항공측량이나 인공위성을 활용한 원격탐측의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 높은 투과성을 지닌 JERS-1의 위성 영상을 이용, 2-pass differential interferometry 기술을 통해 대상 지역인 강원도 지역의 지형 변위도를 생성하여 산사태 피해 지역을 탐측하고, 산사태 지역의 탐지 및 분석을 위한 웹 시스템을 구축했다.

본 논문에서는 기름이 유출된 바다 표면의 레이더 산란에 대한 수치해석적 연구를 보여준다. 우선, 풍속에 따라서 불규칙적인 거칠기를 갖는 바다 표면을 생성한 다음에, 유전율이 높은 거친 바닷물 표면 위에 유전율이 낮은 기름층을 두어 기름이 유출된 바다 표면을 생성한다. 서로 다른 표면 거칠기, 기름층의 두께와 유전율, 주파수, 편파, 입사각의 조합으로 이루어진 다양한 형태의 기름 유출 바다에 대한 레이더 후방산란계수를 모멘트 법(Method of Moments)/ 몬테카를로(Monte-Carlo) 방법을 이용하여 계산한다. 이 수치해석적 방법은 이론적인 산란 모델로 계산 가능한 간단한 구조에 대해서 이론 모델 결과와 비교함으로써 그 정확성을 검증한다. 이 수치해석적 방법으로 기름이 유출된 바다 표면에서의 후방산란계수의 감소를 분석하며, 이 분석 결과는 결과적으로 SAR 영상에서의 기름층의 발견 및 식별에 도움을 줄 것이다.

Among the various remote sensing sensors compared to the electro-optical sensors, SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) is very suitable for assessing damaged areas induced by disaster events owing to its all-weather day and night acquisition capability and sensitivity to geometric variables. The conventional CD (Change Detection) method that uses two-date data is typically used for mapping damage over extensive areas in a short time, but because data from only two dates are used, the information used in the conventional CD is limited. In this paper, we propose a novel CD method that is extended to use data consisting of two pre-disaster SAR data and one post-disaster SAR data. The proposed CD method detects changes by using a similarity weight image derived from the neighborhood information of a pixel in the data from the three dates. We conducted an experiment using three single polarization ALOS PALSAR (Advanced Land Observing Satellite/Phased Array Type L-Band) data collected over Miyagi, Japan which was seriously damaged by the 2011 east Japan tsunami. The results demonstrated that the mapping accuracy for damaged areas can be improved by about 26% with an increase of the g-mean compared to the conventional CD method. These improved results prove the performance of our proposed CD method and show that the proposed CD method is more suitable than the conventional CD method for detecting damaged areas induced by disaster.
