This study aims to detect only voids and estimate the cross-sectional size and thickness of voids using radar. A new method based on radar image processing is carried out with various void sizes and depths. The regression relationship between void size which has different depth and the amplitude characteristics of the radar return is considered in a new method of this research. For the purpose of examining; this regression relationship, experiments with change of void depth, surface area and thickness were carried out. Finally, the threshold value for image processing which aims to represent only voids to be fitted size (width) can be obtained. As the results, a proposed method in this study has a possibility of detecting only voids and estimating void size and thickness with good accuracy.

The application of compressive sensing (CS) to a radar imaging system based on a frequency-scanned microstrip leaky wave antenna is investigated. First, an analytical model of the system matrix is formulated as the basis for the inversion algorithm. Then, $L_1-norm$ minimization is applied to the inverse problem to generate a range-azimuth image of the scene. Because of the antenna length, the near-field effect is considered in the CS formulation to properly image close-in targets. The resolving capability of the combined frequency-scanned antenna and CS processing is examined and compared to results based on the short-time Fourier transform and the pseudo-inverse. Both simulation and measurement data are tested to show the system performance in terms of image resolution.

The presence of voids under pavements or behind tunnel linings results in their deterioration. To detect these voids effectively by non-destructive tests, a method using radar was proposed. In this research, not only the detection of shape of voids, but also the location of reinforcing bars by radar image analysis is investigated. The experiments and image processing were conducted to detect voids and to locate reinforcing bars in or under concrete pavements (or tunnel linings) with reinforcing bars. From the results, the fundamental algorithm for tracing the reinforcing bars and voids, improving the horizontal resolution of the object image and detecting shape of objects, was verified.

Monitoring and managing the condition of underground utilities is crucial for ground stability. This study aims to determine whether images obtained using ground penetrating radar (GPR) accurately reflect the characteristics of buried pipelines through image analysis. The investigation focuses on pipelines made from different materials, namely concrete and steel, with concrete pipes tested under various diameters to assess detectability under differing conditions. A total of 400 images are acquired at locations with pipelines, and for comparison, an additional 100 data points are collected from areas without pipelines. The study employs GPR at frequencies of 200 MHz and 600 MHz, and image analysis is performed using machine learning-based convolutional neural network (CNN) techniques. The analysis results demonstrate high classification reliability based on the training data, especially in distinguishing between pipes of the same material but of different diameters. The findings suggest that the integration of GPR and CNN algorithms can offer satisfactory performance in exploring the ground's interior characteristics.

More than effectively judging the existence of voids behind concrete tunnel linings or under concrete pavements, this research aims to develop the analysis algorithm of radar capable of estimation of the shape of specific voids. To detect or estimate void shapes in non-reinforced concrete, the simulation analysis model of transmission and reflection wave of electromagnetic radar is used. This radar simulation model is carried out with various void shapes. As the results, a proposed method in this study has a possibility of detecting or estimating void shapes with good accuracy.

본 논문은 여러 송수신 레이다들이 지상에 고정된 MIMO(multiple input multiple output) 레이다 환경에서 이동표적을 이미징할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제시한다. 제시된 알고리즘은 평면파 근사를 사용한 polar format processing에 기반한 것으로 수신 레이다 간 이격이 큰 경우에도 복수의 송신 레이다를 사용해서 앨리어싱(aliasing) 현상이 배제된 이동표적 이미지를 얻을 수 있음을 보인다. 앨리어싱 현상을 줄이면서 해상도를 높일 수 있는 송신 레이다 배치에 대한 조건을 제시하며, 또한 각 송신 레이다에 의한 표적 산란 신호를 수신 레이다에서 분리시킬 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. 마지막으로 시뮬레이션을 통해서 제시된 MIMO 레이다 시스템의 성능을 검증한다.

Accurate vessel traffic observation is indispensable to carry out vessel traffic management, design of vessel traffic route, planning of port construction, etc. In order to observe the vessel traffic accurately without many efforts such as the use of a ship or car equipped with special radar observation system and the preparation of observation staff, the authors have been developing completely automated remote radar/AIS network system covering the main traffic area in Tokyo Bay. The composite radar image observed at Yokosuka and Kawasaki radar stations with AIS information can be seen on web site of Internet. In addition to the development of radar/AIS observation system, the software to analyze observed vessel traffic flow has been developed. This software has various functions such as automatic tracking of ship's positions, automatic estimation of ship's size, automatic integration of radar image and AIS data, animation of ships' movements, extraction of dangerous ship encounters, etc. The configuration and functions of the developed remote radar/AIS network system are shown first in this paper. Then various functions of the software to analyze vessel traffic are introduced, and some analyzed results on the vessel traffic in Tokyo Bay are described demonstrating the effectiveness of the developed system.

Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) is an active microwave instrument that performs high-resolution observation under almost all weather condition. Research and algorithms have been proposed to process radar signal and to increase the quality of SAR products. In fact, many complicated steps are involved in order to generate a SAR image product. The purpose of this paper is to derive quality assessment procedures and define important test parameters in each procedure inside a SAR processor. Thus those test parameter values indicate the quality of SAR image products and verify the processor's performance. Moreover, required procedures to correct and handle errors which are indicated during the assessment are also presented.

기존의 공간적 해상도 중심의 환경공간정보의 활용은 물리적, 화학적 특징파악이 동반되어야 하는 현실적인 환경 분야의 문제 해결에 한계 점이 있다. 이에 기상조건, 주야, 일조량에 관계 없이 대상의 물리적 특징 파악이 가능한 영상레이더의 환경분야 활용의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 미국, 유럽 등 국가에서 발사한 영상레이더 위성은 고유목적 이외에도 다양한 환경 분야에 사용되고 있었다. 따라서 수자원 수재해 모니터링을 목표로 개발 중에 있는 우리나라의 차세대 중형 5호 위성도 기존 활용 목적에 충실하면서 다양한 활용 분야로 범위 확대 방안을 모색하였다. 이를 위해 영상레이더가 환경분야 활용된 국내외 논문 분석(100편)을 수행하였고 텍스트 마이닝 기법을 적용한 환경공간정보 활용 분석을 수행한 KEI 2016년 연구보고서, 국내논문, 국외논문 검토를 수행하였다. 이를 바탕으로 다양한 환경이슈를 정리하고 영상레이더가 활용됐을 때 효과 등을 분석해본 결과 토지피복을 환경이슈로 선정하였다. 향후 본 연구에서 선정된 환경이슈인 토지피복지도의 정확도 개선기술을 구체화하고 토지피복지도의 안정적 활용을 위한 기반 시스템을 구축하고자 한다.
