This study is for coordinates analysis(geocentric and rectangular coordinate) of Korean geodetic VLBI which has been operated by NGII (National Geographic Information Institute) in Republic of Korea since 2014. The purpose of this study is a fundamental research to determine the Korean geodetic datum. The VLBI data recorded from September 29th 2014 to July 31th 2017, total approximately a hundred of VLBI databases, is used to calculate daily positions and position rates. The VLBI coordinates are based on ITRF(2000,2005,2008,2014) with epochs of the first Korean VLBI observation date(September 29th 2014) and Korean Geodetic Datum(January 1st 2002). And as a results of VLBI observation, Korean VLBI coordinate movement velocity of 3.1cm/yr in the direction of $112.4^{\circ}$.

The general objective of this study was to investigate biomechanical characteristics of bowling swing using three-dimensional cinematography. This study focused specifically on movements of the upper body segments during a bowling swing. Eight elite female bowling players participated in this study. Subjects performed bowling swing and their performance was sampled at 60 frame/sec using two high-speed video cameras with a synchronizer. After digitizing images from two cameras, the two-dimensional coordinates were used to produce three-dimensional coordinates of the 12 body segments (20 joint reference makers). The obtained three-dimensional coordinates were fed to a custom-written kinematic and kinetic analyses program (LabView 6.1, National Instrument, Austin, TX, USA). The analyses determined the linear and angular kinematic variables of the body segments with which joint force and torque of the lower and upper trunks and the shoulder were estimated based on the Newton-Euler equations. It was found that during the bowling swing the peak linear velocities of the body segments were reached in sequence the trunk, the shoulder, the elbow, the wrist, and the bowl. This result indicates that linear momentum of the lower body and the trunk transmits to the arm segment during the bowling swing. The joint torques of the torso and the arm occurred almost simultaneously, indicating that bowling swing seem to be a push-like motion, rather than a proximal-distal sequence motion in which many of throwing motions are categorized. The ultimate objective of the bowling swing is to release a heavy-weight bowl with power and consistency. Therefore, the bowling swing observed in this study well agrees with that bowlers use the stepping to increase the linear velocity of the bowl, the simple pendulum system and the push-like segmental motion in the torso and the arm segment to enhance the power at the release of the bowl.

This study was done to analyze the occlusal curve as one of the factors to be considered for maintenance of occlusal stability in the orthodontic and prosthodontic treatments. Sixty gnathological casts we.e obtained from 43 subjects with normal occlusion and 17 subjects with some of temporomandibular disorders. The occlusal surfaces of gnathologic casts were duplicated by using a Color kit SK-700 and tile reference points of X, Y coordinates were digitized by using the Summagraphic digitizer and 18AT computer system. The Z coordinates of cusp height were measured by 0.01mm measurable caliper. The mathematical computer program of least square method was used to analyze the occlusal curve arranged by three dimensional coordinates of X, Y, Z. The following results were obtained : 1. The occlusal curve of buccal and lingual cusp tips was fitted to the ellipse, and the occlusal curve of anterior teeth was fitted to a part of the circle in the analysis of conic sections. 2. The radius of Spee's curve showed individual differences, but was average 98.7mm in male subjects and 93.7mm in female subjects. 3. The radius fo Spee's curve according to the half of canine width showed the least coefficient of variation. 4. The radius of Spee's curve was not significantly relative to the lateral occlusal contacts on laterotrusion and the absence or presence of temporomandibular disorders. 5. The radius of Wilson's curve showed individual difference and the size of radius was followed by the order of 1st premolar, 2nd premolar, 2nd molar and 1st molar.

Gridded bathymetric data of 30 seconds apart in Korea marginal seas $(30^{\circ}N{\sim}44^{\circ}N,\;117^{\circ}E{\sim}143^{\circ}E)$ are produced. In order to make the data, both updated gridded data of 1 minute apart on internet sites and all the digital nautical charts issued by National Oceanographic Research Institute (NORI) in Oct. 2007 are used. The reference level of the gridded data is approximate level of lowest low water and the horizontal coordinates are based on the WGS84 ellipsoid. Especially a developed computer program can collect all the sounding data including depth contour directly from the digital charts and UTM coordinates of the data are converted to the WGS84 coordinates from which accuracy of data is significantly improved. An interpolation method is adopted to produce the gridded data which are compared and analyzed against the existing gridded data. In this gridded data we can see significantly detailed topographic features which could not be found in the previous data.

The classical RTK System requires that GPS data is transmitted from a single reference receiver to one or more roving units. But its error increase due to distance between reference and rover. VRS(Virtual Reference Station) system, a network of reference stations can be used to isolate the components of these systematic errors and use the resultant corrections to create Virtual Reference Stations at any location within the network. Use of a VRS significantly reduces the effects of systematic errors and improved accuracy. In this study, Network-RTK survey using VRS serviced by NGII(National Geographic Information Institute) was performed and the results were compared with results of total station surveying and notified coordinates of cadastral control points for utilization assessment of VRS.

In this paper, we propose the automatic image-to-image registration of high resolution satellite images using local properties of tie points to improve the registration accuracy. A spatial distance between interest points of reference and sensed images extracted by Scale Invariant Feature Transform(SIFT) is additionally used to extract tie points. Coefficients of affine transform between images are extracted by invariant descriptor based matching, and interest points of sensed image are transformed to the reference coordinate system using these coefficients. The spatial distance between interest points of sensed image which have been transformed to the reference coordinates and interest points of reference image is calculated for secondary matching. The piecewise linear function is applied to the matched tie points for automatic registration of high resolution images. The proposed method can extract spatially well-distributed tie points compared with SIFT based method.

We processed seven years data of 142 IGS(International GNSS Service) stations were processed, which have been selected with an optimal network algorithm, to realize terrestrial reference system. To verify the result, a comparison with the ITRF2005 was given both in positions and velocities with transformation parameters estimation. The transformation parameters are within 4.3 mm in length, while the RMS(root mean square) difference of positions and velocities are 6.7 mm and 1.3 mm/yr in horizontal and 13.3 mm and 2.4 mm/yr in vertical, respectively, which represent good coincidences with ITRF2005. This research would help developing our own geodetic reference frame and may be applied for the global earth observations such as the global tectonics. A further improved TRF would be expected by applying various data processing strategies and with extension of data in number and observation period.

In mid-90's, the Korean government introduced the GIS(Geographic Information System) to digitalize every topography of national land and thereby, index locations and attributes of various urban facilities to construct a system whereby every information could be managed and operated in an integrated way, but the reliability of such geographic information has yet to be tested, much less its modification, complementation and maintenance. Under such circumstances, this study was aimed at constructing a reference point infrastructure for Seoul and Kyonggi area and comparing the data obtained from the GPS operation and various facility location data with the existing GIS data to address the problems of GIS operation and suggest their solutions. As a result of calculating the GPS reference point data and analyzing the deviations of the unknown point data in comparison with the fixed point ones, it was found that the horizontal location values were reliable within +/- 5cm, but that the above-sea level values varied as much as 1.4m depending on the deployment of pre-set fixed points determined by the direct level gauging. In addition, as a result of directly surveying major facilities around the roads based on the coordinates of the urban reference points networked with such a reference point system to check their conformity to existing data, it was confirmed that the difference was as wide as 2m. Such differences may be attributable to the fact that the data with their geographic information not confirmed are used as basic data for GIS. Hence, this study suggests the ways to set the absolute geographic data based on reference points and test the reliability of existing data and thereby, suggests a methods to solve the problems.

The positioning accuracies tend to deteriorate as the distance between the rover and the reference station increases in the Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) surveys using Global Positioning System (GPS). To solve this problem, the National Geographic Information Institute (NGII) of Korea has installed Virtual Reference System (VRS), which is one of the network-based RTK systems. In this study, we conducted the accuracy tests of the VRS-RTK surveys. We surveyed 50 control points inside the NGII's GPS Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) network using the VRS-RTK system, and compared the results with the published coordinates to verify the positioning accuracies. We also conducted the general RTK surveys at the same control points. The results showed that the positioning accuracy of the VRS-RTK was comparable to that of the general RTK, because the horizontal positioning accuracy was 3.1 cm while that of general RTK was 2.0 cm. Also the vertical positioning accuracy of VRS-RTK was 6.8 cm.

According to the revised law of survey, all the geographic information data including 1/1,000 digital topographic maps have to be converted to world geodetic reference system by the end of 2009. National Geographic Information Institute (NGII) formulated the policy to promote the conversion from local geodetic reference system to world geodetic reference system. However, the current conversion rate is lower than planned due to some impeding factors. Therefore, in this paper, those impeding factors are investigated and then efficient conversion strategies are established and provided. The research involves the validation of affine transformation, the determination of critical value for outlier detection and optimal number of common control points for coordinate conversion, and the treatment of old and new control points.
