Atmospheric correction is an essential part in time-series analysis on biophysical parameters of surface features. In this study, we tried to examine possible problems in atmospheric correction of multitemporal High Spatial Resolution (HSR) images obtained from two different sensor systems. Three KOMPSAT-2 and two IKONOS-2 multispectral images were used. Three atmospheric correction methods were applied to derive surface reflectance: (1) Radiative Transfer (RT) - based absolute atmospheric correction method, (2) the Dark Object Subtraction (DOS) method, and (3) the Cosine Of the Uun zeniTh angle (COST) method. Atmospheric correction results were evaluated by comparing spectral reflectance values extracted from invariant targets and vegetation cover types. In overall, multi-temporal reflectance from five images obtained from January to December did not show consistent pattern in invariant targets and did not follow a typical profile of vegetation growth in forests and rice field. The multi-temporal reflectance values were different by sensor type and atmospheric correction methods. The inconsistent atmospheric correction results from these multi-temporal HSR images may be explained by several factors including unstable radiometric calibration coefficients for each sensor and wide range of sun and sensor geometry with the off-nadir viewing HSR images.

Using satellite images, an optimal solution to water motion has been presented in this study. Since temperature patterns are suitable tracers in water motion, Sea Surface Temperature (SST) images of Caspian Sea taken by MODIS sensor on board Terra satellite have been used in this study. Two daily SST images with 24 hours time interval are used as input data. Computation of templates correspondence between pairs of images is crucial within motion algorithms using non-rigid body objects. Image matching methods have been applied to estimate water body motion within the two SST images. The least squares matching technique, as a flexible technique for most data matching problems, offers an optimal spatial solution for the motion estimation. The algorithm allows for simultaneous local radiometric correction and local geometrical image orientation estimation. Actually, the correspondence between the two image templates is modeled both geometrically and radiometrically. Geometric component of the model includes six geometric transformation parameters and radiometric component of the model includes two radiometric transformation parameters. Using the algorithm, the parameters are automatically corrected, optimized and assessed iteratively by the least squares algorithm. The method used in this study, has presented more efficient and robust solution compared to the traditional motion estimation schemes.

Atmospheric correction is one of critical procedures to extract quantitative information related to biophysical variables from hyperspectral imagery. Most atmospheric correction algorithms developed for hyperspectral data have been based upon atmospheric radiative transfer (RT) codes, such as MODTRAN. Because of the difficulty in acquisition of atmospheric data at the time of image capture, the complexity of RT model, and large volume of hyperspectral data, atmospheric correction can be very difficult and time-consuming processing. In this study, we attempted to develop an efficient method for the atmospheric correction of EO-1 Hyperion data. This method uses the pre-calculated look-up-table (LUT) for fast and simple processing. The pre-calculated LUT was generated by successive running of MODTRAN model with several input parameters related to solar and sensor geometry, radiometric specification of sensor, and atmospheric condition. Atmospheric water vapour contents image was generated directly from a few absorption bands of Hyperion data themselves and used one of input parameters. This new atmospheric correction method was tested on the Hyperion data acquired on June 3, 2001 over Seoul area. Reflectance spectra of several known targets corresponded with the typical pattern of spectral reflectance on the atmospherically corrected Hyperion image, although further improvement to reduce sensor noise is necessary.

복사 보정에 해당하는 NUC(Non-Uniformity Correction)은 MSC 각각의 픽셀들이 가지는 상이한 특성을 균일한 이미지를 얻기 위해 수행하는 작업이다. KOMPSAT-2의 MSC는 각 CCD pixel 별, 각 band 별 특성, 감도 및 시간에 따른 변화, CCD Geometry 등에 의해 왜곡 현상이 일어나게 된다. 검보정 과정에서는 위성 발사 전에 실험실에서의 충분한 실험과 Calibration 작업을 통해 얻어진 값들을 사용하여 Image Restoration, 상대 복사 보정, 절대 복사 보정 등의 작업들을 거쳐서 왜곡 현상을 보정하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 KOMPSAT-2의 NUC(HF NUC & LF NUC) 알고리즘을 이용하여 Panchromatic 밴드의 raw image의 NUC 보정작업 과정과 그 결과에 대해서 소개하고자 한다.

The prototype radiometric calibration algorithm of the imagers for IR channels has been developed according to the Weinreb's method. Applying the algorithm to the GOES-12 count data, we have shown that the calibration coefficients (slope and intercept) evaluated by the algorithm gives good agreement with the NESDIS's ones, and that the scanning error due to the scan mirror emissivity and stripe error are almost eliminated by the East/West angle dependent scan-mirror correction and the respective calculation of intercept for each North/South scan line, respectively.

RADARSAT 위성은 레이더센서를 가지고 있어 전천후 및 주야불문이라는 두 가지 주요 이점을 가지고 있기 때문에, 선박탐지를 포함하는 해상감시 분야에 있어서 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다 그러나, 합성개구레이더의 이미징 시에 대기의 영향은 무시될 수 없으며, 또한 다양한 형태로 기하 변형이 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는, 레벨 1의 georeferenced SGX 데이터를 사용해서 RADARSAT의 합성개구레이더에 대한 대기/기하 보정을 실시하였다. 동일 이미지 내에서도, near range와 far range 세션의 비교를 위해서도 이와 같은 보정이 필요하다. 대기 보정은 후방산란에 대한 국소 조사부분과 입사각의 효과를 보정하여 수행되었으며, DN값은 beta nought와 sigma nought로 변환시켰다. 마지막으로 위성자세정보에서 추정되는 4점의 위치정보를 이용하여 자동 기하보정을 실시하였으며, 그 결과를 실제 좌표 값과 비교하였다. 오차는 위도방향으로 300m, 경도방향으로 260m범위 내에 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 이것은 추가로 지상기준점을 통해 보정될 수 있으며, 외해의 경우에는 적용 가능한 것으로 판단된다.

SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) 영상은 경사촬영을 수행하므로 지형의 기복에 따른 영향을 많이 받는다. 따라서 SAR영상을 이용하여 여러 가지 정보들을 추출하여 이용하기 위해서는 전처리 과정으로서 지형의 기복에 따른 여러 가지 왜곡들을 보정해야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 RADARSAT SAR 영상을 이용하여 궤도모델링, 정사보정을 수행하고 역산란계수, 국부입사각 계산 등을 통해 지형기복에 따른 방사왜곡보정을 수행하였다.

Although infrared focal plane array (IRFPA) detectors have been commonly used, non-uniformity correction (NUC) remains an important problem in the infrared imaging realm. Non-uniformity severely degrades image quality and affects radiometric accuracy in infrared imaging applications. Residual non-uniformity (RNU) significantly affects the detection range of infrared surveillance and reconnaissance systems. More effort should be exerted to improve IRFPA uniformity. A novel NUC method that considers the surrounding temperature variation compensation is proposed based on the binary nonlinear non-uniformity theory model. The implementing procedure is described in detail. This approach simultaneously corrects response nonlinearity and compensates for the influence of surrounding temperature shift. Both qualitative evaluation and quantitative test comparison are performed among several correction technologies. The experimental result shows that the residual non-uniformity, which is corrected by the proposed method, is steady at approximately 0.02 percentage points within the target temperature range of 283 K to 373 K. Real-time imaging shows that the proposed method improves image quality better than traditional techniques.
