This study discusses the long-term deformation monitoring and shape sensing of bridge girder surfaces with an automated extraction scheme for point clouds in the Region Of Interest (ROI), invariant to the position of a Light Detection And Ranging system (LiDAR). Advanced smart construction necessitates continuous monitoring of the deformation and shape of bridge girders during the construction phase. An automated scheme is proposed for reconstructing geometric model of ROI in the presence of noisy non-stationary background. The proposed scheme involves (i) denoising irrelevant background point clouds using dimensions from the design model, (ii) extracting the outer boundaries of the bridge girder by transforming and processing the point cloud data in a two-dimensional image space, (iii) extracting topology of pre-defined targets using the modified Otsu method, (iv) registering the point clouds to a common reference frame or design coordinate using extracted predefined targets placed outside ROI, and (v) defining the bounding box in the point clouds using corresponding dimensional information of the bridge girder and abutments from the design model. The surface-fitted reconstructed geometric model in the ROI is superposed consistently over a long period to monitor bridge shape and derive deflection during the construction phase, which is highly correlated. The proposed scheme of combining 2D-3D with the design model overcomes the sensitivity of 3D point cloud registration to initial match, which often leads to a local extremum.

Tree species-specific estimates with spacebome high-resolution imagery improve estimation of forest biomass which is needed to predict the long term planning for the sustainable forest management(SFM). This paper is a contribution to develop crown distinguishing coniferous species, Pinus densiflora and Pinus koraiensis, from QuickBird imagery. The proposed feature analysis derived from shape parameters and first and second-order statistical texture features of the same test area were compared for the two species separation and delineation. As expected, initial studies have shown that both formfactor and compactness shape parameters provided the successful differentiating method between the pine species within the compartment for single crown identification from spaceborne high resolution imagery. Another result revealed that the selected texture parameters - the mean, variance, angular second moment(ASM) - in the infrared band image could produce good subset combination of texture features for representing detailed tree crown outline.

본 연구에서는 저고도 원격탐사 기구인 Helikite를 이용하여 연안지역의 영상을 획득하였다. 그리고 획득된 영상에서 4 종류의 영역 분할 알고리즘을 이용하여 육지와 수괴의 영역을 분할해 낸 후 경계 검출법을 이용해 수륙경계선을 추출하였다. 실측데이터의 부재로 정량적인 비교는 불가능했으나, 수괴와 육지의 구분이 비교적 명확한 적외선(Infrared band) 영역의 영상을 기준으로 각 알고리즘들에 의해 추출된 수륙경계선을 비교하였다. 그 결과, 영상에서 수괴와 육지의 구분이 모호한 부분에서 각각의 알고리즘의 결과가 크게 차이가 나는 것을 발견할 수 있었다. 이는 각 알고리즘이 영역을 구분하는데 사용되는 영상의 수치값(Digital number)의 임계치를 선정하는 과정에서 생긴 차이라고 판단된다. 이와 같이 다양한 알고리즘을 통한 수륙경계선의 추출은 향후 연속 모니터링이 가능한 자동 관측시스템과 함께 활용하여 고정지역에서 얻은 수년의 장기간의 데이터를 통해 연안 지역 형태의 급격한 변화를 설명하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.
