New Orleans located in the estuary of the Mississippi River was attacked by Hurricane Katrina and suffered big flood on August 2005. Since unconsolidated Holocene to middle Miocene strata is the main basement rocks, land subsidence has been occurred steadily due to soil compaction and normal faulting. It was reported that the maximum subsidence rate from 2002 to 2005 was -29 mm/yr. Many studies in the area have been carried out for understanding the subsiding and potential risks caused by ground subsidence are weighted by the fact that a large area of the city is located below the mean sea level. A small baseline subset (SBAS) method is applied for effectively measuring time-series LOS (Line-of sight) surface deformation from differential synthetic aperture radar interferograms in this study. The time-series surface deformation at New Orleans was measured from RADARSAT-1 SAR images. The used dataset consists of twenty-one RADARSAT-1 fine beam mode images on descending orbits from February 2005 to February 2007 and another twenty-one RADARSAT-1 standard beam mode images on ascending orbits from January 2005 to February 2007. From this dataset, 25 and 38 differential interferograms on descending and ascending orbits were constructed, respectively. The vertical and horizontal components of surface deformation were extracted from ascending and descending LOS surface deformations. The result from vertical component of surface deformation indicates that subsidence is not significant with a mean rate of -3.1${\pm}$3.2 mm/yr.

In river with bar, the characteristics of its physical conditions have a close relationship with bar morphology. In this paper, a monitoring approach of bar transformation in the Han River Estuary is presented using RADARSAT/SAR Images. The estuary is divided into North and South Korea and its area is blocked by CCL(Civil Control Line). Satellite remote sensing, therefore, is uniquely suited to monitoring bar transformation. Based on SAR signatures for bars, bar transformation is investigated from 2000 to 2005, and monitoring of suspended-silt transportations from terrestrial runoff is tried to understand the morphology during the events of severe rain storm. SAR data did not reveal clearly the bar locations because of most of data acquisitions during high tides from 6.8 m to 9.0 m. Even though the problem, it could be said that in the estuary vegetated area and natural levees are developed well, but bars and shifted after an event like a flood. It is also showed that suspended solids such as silt transported through the estuary could contribute highly to a sedimentation environment around Incheon.

We measure subsidences occurred in a reclaimed coastal land, Noksan industrial complex, by using JERS-1 SAR (1996-1998) and RADARSAT-1 SAR (2002-2003) dataset. SAR with a high spatial resolution (about several or several tens meter) can reveal the two-dimensional distribution of settlement that would be bardly estimated from in situ measurements. The DInSAR results show significant deformation signal associated with soil consolidation. Accuracy of the settlements estimated by 2-pass differential interferometry (DInSAR) is evaluated using the measurements of settlement gauge. A two-dimensional subsidence map is constructed from 7 qualified pairs. Comparing the JERS-1 radar measurements with the ground truth data yields the correlation coefficient of 0.87 (RMSE of 1.44 cm). The regression line shows the gradient of 1.04 and intercepts close to the origin, which implies that the unbiased settlement can be measured by DInSAR technique. The residual settlements are also detected from RADARSAT-1 pairs. The extent and amount of the settlements are matched well with ground truth data.

This paper give further assessment on the original DoP-CPD classification scheme. This paper provides some additional comparative study on the DoP-CPD with H/A/alpha classifier in terms of multi look effects and classification performances. The statistics and multi looking effects of the DoP and CPD were analyzed with measured polarimetric SAR data. DoP-CPD is less sensitive to the number of averaging pixels than the entropy-alpha technique. A DoP-CPD diagram with appropriate boundaries between six different classes was then developed based on the data analysis. A polarimetric SAR image DoP-CPD classification technique is verified with C-band polarimetric RADARSAT-2 images.

해양 영역에 대한 SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) 자료는 좋은 해상도로 기상조건이나 주야에 상관없이 wind vector를 구할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 해안지역의 scatterometer 자료는 육지의 영향으로 인하여 정확한 자료를 얻을 수 없지만, SAR자료를 이용하면, Scatterometer에 비해 좋은 해상도로 해안지역의 wind vector 추출이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 SAR 자료로부터 풍속을 추출할 수 있는 CMOD_4와 CMOD_IFR2 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 이 알고리즘들은 정확한 sigma-naught 값과, 풍향, 그리고 local incidence angle을 입력변수로 요구한다. CMOD 알고리즘들은 ERS-1/2와 같이 C-band, VV-polarization을 위해 개발된 알고리즘이므로, C-band, HH-polarization을 가진 RADARSAT 자료에 바로 적용할 수가 없다. 이것을 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 두 CMOD 알고리즘을 몇 가지 polarization ratio와 같이 적용하여 보았다. 각 연구지역에 해당하는 자료에는 제주도 주변의 Fine mode 자료, 서해안과 제주도 근해의 Standard mode 자료, 그리고 동해안 지역의 ScanSAR 자료 등이다. 여러 가지 Polarization ratio와 CMOD 알고리즘의 조합, 그리고 2-DFFT로부터 추출된 풍향으로부터 각 연구지역의 풍속은 가까운 기상관측소 및, 부이의 관측값과 비교하였다. 그 결과 Fine mode 자료로부터 추출된 풍속은 실제 관측 값보다 항상 상당히 높게 나타났지만, Standard mode 나 ScanSAR 자료로부터 추출된 풍속은 현지 기상관측소 관측 값과 잘 일치한다.

Baikdu-san was a very active volcano during the Cenozoic era and is believed to be formed in late Cenozoic era. Recently it was also reported that there was a major eruption in or around 1002 A.D. and there are evidences which indicate that it is still an active volcano and a potential volcanic hazard. Remote sensing techniques have been widely used to monitor various natural hazards, including volcanic hazards. However, during an active volcanic eruption, volcanic ash can basically cover the sky and often blocks the solar radiation preventing any use of optical sensors. Synthetic aperture radar(SAR) is an ideal tool to monitor the volcanic activities and lava flows, because the wavelength of the microwave signal is considerably longer that the average volcanic ash particle size. In this study we have utilized several sets of SAR data to evaluate the utility of the space-borne SAR system. The data sets include JERS-1(L-band) SAR, and RADARSAT(C-band) data which included both standard mode and the ScanSAR mode data sets. We also utilized several sets of auxiliary data such as local geological maps and JERS-1 OPS data. The routine preprocessing and image processing steps were applied to these data sets before any attempts of classifying and mapping surface geological features. Although we computed sigma nought ($\sigma$$^{0}$) values far the standard mode RADARSAT data, the utility of sigma nought image was minimal in this study. Application of various types of classification algorithms to identify and map several stages of volcanic flows was not very successful. Although this research is still in progress, the following preliminary conclusions could be made: (1) sigma nought (RADARSAT standard mode data) and DN (JERS-1 SAR and RADARSAT ScanSAR data) have limited usefulness for distinguishing early basalt lava flows from late trachyte flows or later trachyte flows from the old basement granitic rocks around Baikdu-san volcano, (2) surface geological structure features such as several faults and volcanic lava flow channels can easily be identified and mapped, and (3) routine application of unsupervised classification methods cannot be used for mapping any types of surface lava flow patterns.

인공위성 원격탐사를 이용한 선박탐지는 주요 적용 분야 중 하나로, 광역의 환경 감시와 해상보안에 적용되고 있다. 이를 통하여 어장을 포함한 해상교통을 모니터링할 수 있으며, 기름유출 선박을 찾기도 한다. 본 연구에서는, RADARSAT의 합성개구레이더(SAR) 영상을 기반으로 개발한 자동선박탐지기법을 제시하고, 2004년 8월 6일에 얻어진 영상에 적용을 하여 현장 자료와의 비교를 실시하였다. 선박탐지알고리듬은 보정, 랜드마스킹, 필터링, 위치 등록 그리고 식별의 5단계로 구성된다. 울산항을 중심으로 이루어진 위성 촬영시점의 풍속은 최대 0.4m/s이었다. 전장이 68m 이상인 묘박지의 선박을 중심으로 한 선박 탐지 결과는 울산 항만교통정보시스템의 레이더정보와 잘 일치하였다. 바지선과 같은 소형선박의 경우, SAR에 의한 선박 탐지 능력이 육상에 설치된 레이더보다 더 높은 경우도 있었다. 또한, SAR 레이더 산란 단면적(RCS)을 이용하여 선박의 길이와 폭을 계산하였으나, 레이오버와 그림자 효과 때문에 실제 값보다 비교적 높게 추정되었다.

영상레이더(Synthetic Aperture Radar, SAR)는 기상조건이나 주야, 일조에 상관없이 지표면을 촬영할 수 있고, 토양수분이나 지하수 등 수문인자의 탐색이 가능하여 수자원 분야에서 그 중요성이 점차 두드러지고 있다. SAR는 1970년대부터 인공위성에 탑재되기 시작하여 2020년 현재 15기 이상의 SAR 위성이 운용되고 있고 향후 5년 내에도 10기 내외의 위성이 발사될 예정이다. 최근에는 관측 폭 및 해상도 증진, 다중 편파 및 다중주파수, 관측 각도의 다양화 등 다양한 형태의 SAR 기술들이 개발 및 활용 중이다. 이에 본 고에서는 SAR 시스템의 간략한 역사와 더불어 토양수분 및 수문인자 산출과 관련된 연구동향을 조사하였다. 현재까지 SAR 위성을 활용하여 산출 가능한 수문인자는 토양수분, 해저지하수유출, 강수, 적설분포면적, 식생지수 등이 있으며, 그 중 토양수분은 물리적 모델인 IEM(Integral Equation Model)과 인공지능 기반의 ANN(Artificial Neural Network)을 대표적으로 활용하여 우리나라를 포함한 북미, 유럽, 인도 등 총 17개국에서 연구가 진행되고 있다. 위성 탑재체는 RADARSAT-1, ENVISAT ASAR, 그리고 ERS-1/2가 가장 많이 사용되었으나 현재는 운영이 종료되었으며, 현재 운영 중인 RADARSAT-2, Sentinel-1, SMAP 등의 활용도 점차 늘어나고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 우리나라는 2025년 발사를 목표로 C-band SAR를 탑재한 수자원·수재해 중형위성을 개발 중이므로, SAR를 이용한 다양한 수문인자 산출 연구가 활성화될 것으로 예상된다.

Hydrographic data obtained from several ship experiments have shown that internal waves are frequently observed in the East (Japan) Sea, mostly in the continental slopes located along the western side of the East Sea. It is well known that oceanic internal waves can be detected well in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Interactions between surface capillary-gravity waves and horizontally varying surface currents induced by internal waves produce variations in sea surface roughness which can be detected by SAR. C-band SAR images from ERS, ENVISAT ASAR and RADARSAT have been used to study the characteristics of internal waves in the East Sea. The observed properties of internal waves from many SAR images were compared and verified from in-situ measurements and theories.
