  • 이 논문은 편파화 정도(degree of polarization: DoP) 와 동일편파 위상차이(co-polarized phasedifference:CPD)를 이용하여 완전편파 SAR 영상을 분해하는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 이 영상 분해 기법을 검증하기 위해 2009년에 춘천 지역에서 얻은 ALOS PALSAR 완전편파 L-밴드 영상데이터를 이용하여 이 새로운 영상 분해 기법의 결과와 기존의 3-성분 분해방법과 4-성분 분해방법의 결과들과 비교한다. ALOS PALSAR 영상 자료의 바다, 맨땅, 산림 그리고 도심지역을 선정하여 새로운 DoP-CPD 영상 분해기법을 적용한 결과, 제안된 영상 분해 기법의 정확도가 기존의 분해기법보다 높거나 유사함을 보인다.

  • Multiscattering occurs when a laser transmits into dense atmosphere targets (e.g. fogs, smoke or clouds), which can cause depolarization effects even though the scattering particles are spherical. In addition, multiscattering effects have additional information about microphysical properties of scatterers. Thus, multiscattering can be utilized to study the microphysical properties of the liquid water cloud. In this paper, a Monte Carlo method was used to simulate multi-scattering transmission properties of Lidar signals in the cloud. The results showed the slope of the degree of linear polarization (SLDLP) can be used to invert the extinction coefficient, and then the cloud effective size (CES) and the liquid water content (LWC) may be easily obtained by using the extinction coefficient and saturation of the degree of linear polarization (SADLP). Based on calculation results, a microphysical properties inversion method for a liquid cloud was presented. An innovative multiscattering polarization Lidar (MSPL) system was constructed to measure the LWC and CES of the liquid cloud, and a new method based on the polarization splitting ratio of the Polarization Beam Splitter (PBS) was developed to calibrate the polarization channels of MSPL. By analyzing the typical observation data of MSPL observation in the northern suburbs of Nanjing, China, the LWC and CES of the liquid water cloud were obtained. Comparisons between the results from the MSPL, MODIS and the Microwave radar data showed that, the microphysical properties of liquid cloud could be retrieved by combining our MSPL and the inversion method.

  • 산악지형이 많은 한국 실정에서 국지적으로 발생하는 기상자료를 제공하기 위하여 진공관식 레이더 보다는 반도체를 이용한 소형의 X-band 기상레이더의 필요성이 요구되고 있다. 기상레이더의 이중 편파방식에 사용되는 반도체형 전력증폭기(SSPA)는 다수의 소출력 전력소자를 병렬로 결합함으로써 원하는 고출력을 얻을 수 있다. 이와 같이 고출력 전력증폭기에 적용되는 전력결합기는 경로손실, 고주파수, 고출력에 따른 안정저항의 문제, 열방출 특성을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 변형된 Gysel 전력결합기를 적용한 결과 격리도(isolation)의 우수성을 제시하였으며, 최대출력 54dBm, 25%의 효율을 갖는 기상레이더용 X-band 250W 급 반도체형 전력증폭기를 설계하였다.

  • A ground-based, C-band full polarimetric mobile Scatterometer system has been developed in Malaysia with collaboration between Malaysian Centre for Remote Sensing (MACRES) and Multimedia University (MMU). The main purpose of this system is to measure and monitor backscattering coefficient, ${\sigma }^0$, for earth terrain such as paddy fields, forest and soil surfaces. This paper describes the preliminary results on radar backscatter measurement from paddy field using the mobile C-band Scatterometer system. The measurement campaign was conducted at Sungai Burung area in April 2003. Real time data were collected using four polarization modes (HH, HV, VV and VH), at various incidence angles ranging from 0$^0$ to 60$^0$. The measurement data show consistent results as compared to other reports, which verify the capability of this Scatterometer system as a useful tool for remote sensing.

  • This study aims to evaluate the usability of polarimetric SAR measurements for discriminating water-covered area from other land cover types and to propose polarimetric parameters showing the better response to the flood. Flood-related changes in the polarimetric parameters were studied using the L-band PALSAR-2 quad-pol mode data acquired before and after the severe flood events occurred in Joso city, Japan. The experimental results showed that, among various polarimetric parameters, the HH-polarization intensity, the Shannon entropy, and the surfaces scattering component of model-based decomposition were found to be useful to discriminate water-covered areas from other land cover types. Particularly, an unsupervised change detection with the Shannon entropy provides the best result for an automated mapping of flood extents.

  • We present spectral characteristics of tidal flat sediments and algal mat that were tested in the Gomso and Saemangum tidal flats, Korea. The objective of this study is to investigate the spectral reflectance and the radar scattering modeling in the tidal flats. Ground truth data obtained in the tidal flats include grain size, soil moisture content and its variation with time, surface roughness, chlorophyll, ground leveling, and field spectral reflectance measurement. The concept of an effective exposed area (EEA) is introduced to accommodate the effect of remnant surface water, and it seriously affects the reflection of short wavelength infrared and microwave. The nin size of 0.0625 mm has been normally used as a critical size of mud and sand discrimination. But we propose here that 0.25 mm is more practical grain size criterion to discriminate by remote sensing. Algal mat is the primary product in tidal flats, and it is found to be very important to understand spectral characteristics for tidal flat remote sensing. We have also conducted radar scattering modeling, and showed L-band HV-polarization would be the most effective combination.

  • 본 논문에서는 전파강수계의 운영제어 및 자료처리를 위한 통신 및 자료처리 전략을 개발하였다. 전파강수계는 24GHz 대역의 이중편파 관측을 통하여 반경 1km 이내의 강수장을 산출하고 최종적으로 관측지역내의 면적강수를 산출하고자 하는 소형 시스템이다. 소형 시스템의 특성상 시스템 내의 제한된 자원을 활용하되 정확한 강수측정을 위한 방안이 고려되어야 하고 무인운영 및 원격 관리를 목적으로 하기 때문에 네트워크의 사용도 최소화해야 할 필요가 발생한다. 이러한 제한 사항의 극복을 위하여 자료의 품질관리 측면에서는 비기상 에코의 제거를 위해서 퍼지 논리(Fuzzy logic)을 이용한 품질관리 기법을 적용하였고, 강수강도 산출을 위해서 다양한 강수강도 추정식을 활용한 강수장 가중합성 전략을 개발하였다. 또한 가변 통신데이터를 이용하여 전파강수계와 원격지 관리 컴퓨터간의 통신량을 최소화하는 전략을 개발하였다. 이러한 소프트웨어 자료처리 전략개발을 통해 원격지에 설치되어 운영될 전파강수계를 안정적으로 운영할 수 있는 통신 및 자료처리 시스템을 개발할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

  • Remote sensing technology is one of the most powerful tools for human to know the nature and their living environment. However, before microwave remote sensing was developed and applied, remote sensing application was limited strongly by weather and time. Microwave remote sensing technology solves the problem. It makes us to have the capability to acquire information at all time of the day and under all weather condition, and make remote sensing technology be used in more wider area. Microwave remote sensing system include mainly Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Microwave Radiometer, Microwave Scatterometer, and Altimeter (ALT). As SAR can acquire image whose spatial resolution is similar with visible and infrared image, it is paying much attention to and playing a more and more important role in earth observation. In recent year, the development of new SAR technology (multi-band and multi-polarization technology, InSAR technology, D-InSAR technology, and so on) makes SAR remote sensing go to an new stage, and its application area become more and more widely. The first Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) in the world appeared in 1960. After that, SAR and its application all developed very fast. Some radar satellites launched and run (include Seasat-A in 1978, ERS-1 in 1991, JERS-1 in 1992, Radarsat in 1995, and so on) promote SAR research and application in world greatly. China began to develop its SAR sensor and research SAR application in 1970s. After more than 30 years' research, it get some important development in sensor development data processing method, and application. Some operational systems have been used and play an important role. This paper will introduce the development of SAR technology and its application in China.

  • (4179) Toutatis (Toutatis hereafter) is one of the Near-Earth Asteroids which has been studied most rigorously not only via ground-based photometric, spectroscopic, polarimetric, and radar observations, but also via the in-situ observation by the Chinese Chang'e-2 spacecraft. However, one of the most fundamental physical properties, the geometric albedo, is less determined. In order to derive the reliable geometric albedo and further study the physical condition on the surface, we made photometric observations of Toutatis near the opposition (i.e., the opposite direction from the Sun). We thus observed it for four days on 2018 April 7-13 using three 1.6-m telescopes, which consist of the Korean Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet). Since the asteroid has a long rotational period (5.38 and 7.40 days from Chang'e-2, Zhao et al., 2015), the continuous observations with KMTNet matches the purpose of our photometric study of the asteroid. The observed data cover the phase angle (Sun-asteroid-observer's angle) of 0.65-2.79 degree. As a result, we found that the observed data exhibited the magnitude changes with an amplitude of ~0.8 mag. We calculated the time-variable geometrical cross-section using the radar shape model (Hudson & Ostro 1995), and corrected the effect from the observed data to derive the geometric albedo. In this presentation, we will present our photometric results. In addition, we will discuss about the regolith particles size together with the polarimetric properties based on the laboratory measurements of albedo-polarization maximum.

  • 굴 양식장 및 주변해역에서 얻어진 SAR 자료의 반사강도 및 레이더 간섭위상에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 진폭영상에서는 매우 강한 역산란 현상이 관측되었으며, 이는 수평막대에 의한 이차산란(double bounce) 신호에 의한 것으로 해석된다. 굴 양식장 구조물은 IKONOS와 같은 고해상도 광학영상 외에는 관측 할 수 없으며, 이는 레이더 영상의 활용이 매우 유용하다는 것을 잘 보여준다. 연구지역에서 나타나는 SAR 진폭영상 화소값은 조위와는 상관관계가 거의 없으며, 이보다는 파장, 편광, 관측방향에 더 민감한 것으로 나타났다. L-밴드 HH-편광 신호가 수평막대에 수직의 관측방향을 가질 때 가장 큰 반사강도를 나타낸다. 또한 JERS-1 SAR 영상을 이용하여 해수면에서 최초로 매우 높은 긴밀도를 유지하는 21개의 간섭도를 생성하였다. 이들 간섭도의 fringe 변화율은 일차적으로 altitude of ambiguity와 매우 밀접한 관계를 갖는다. 이를 역함수를 이용하여 최적화된 모델로 위상을 제거한 후 얻어진 잔여간섭위상은 조위 변화와 선형의 관계를 보이며, 이는 SAR를 이용한 조위차 관측의 가능성을 제시한다. 그러나 직선 회귀식의 최소제곱근 오차는 11.7 cm로 정밀도가 아직 실제 활용 가능한 정도는 아니며, 정밀도를 높이기 위해 앞으로 다중편광 SAR 자료를 이용한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.
