Many countries have changed her geodetic reference system from local system to global system because of the global network's necessity. And, also Korean geodetic reference system changed from Tokyo datum to Global geodetic reference system since 2003 as the revision of Survey Law and Korean reference ellipsoid changed from Bessel 1841 ellipsoid to GRS80. The purpose of this paper is evaluation of ellipsoid agreement before and after change due to the introduction of global geodetic reference system in Korea. For the evaluation ellipsoid agreement was analyzed using two Korean geoid model -KOGD2003 and KOBGDM33- on both ellipsoid and area variation caused by change of reference ellipsoid was calculated.

The straight spatial distance or geodesic distance on WGS84 ellipsoid measured by GPS should be reduced on geoid to be used in Korean Geodetic System. The factors for this reduction are geoidal height and mean radius of the earth. On this study the effects of these factors on reducing distance were analyzed and the result showed that mean geoidal height should be multiplied by $1.6\times{10}^{-7}$ per unit distance for reducing geodesic distance on reference ellipsoid to that on geoid. Condsidering that the geoidal height on Bessel ellipsoid in Korea is -45 m in northeast and -75 m in middle west. It also showed that the difference of geodesic distance between on reference ellipsoid and on geoid is about 7-12 mm per km.

This paper evaluated applicability of railroad reference points for determinating geoid heights. For this research, reference points on the Honam express raildroad which contain ellipsoid heights estimated by GPS/Leveling and orthometric heights by leveling were used. Geoid heights were calculated uisng orthometric and ellipsoid heights of 360 railroad reference points, and the RMSE's with respect to different intervals of reference points were analysed which were induced by interpolation methods. The results showed that no significant difference of RMSE's among interpolation. methods. RMSE's of 0-4km interval of reference points were determined within 2cm and 5-8km were within 3cm. Also, this research confirmed that GPS leveling with Geoid model is not auurate enough to be used for railroad surveying as yet.

Objective : Aneurysm volume quantification (AVQ) using the equation of ellipsoid volume is widely used although it is inaccurate. Furthermore, AVQ with 3-dimensional (3D) rendered data has limitations in general use. A novel universal method for AVQ is introduced for any diagnostic modality and application to any shape of aneurysms. Methods : Relevant AVQ studies published from January 1997 to June 2019 were identified to determine common methods of AVQ. The basic idea is to eliminate the normal artery volume from 3D model with the aneurysm. After Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) data is converted and exported to stereolithography (STL) file format, the 3D STL model is modified to remove the aneurysm and the volume difference between the 3D model with/without the aneurysm is defined as the aneurysm volume. Fifty randomly selected aneurysms from DICOM database were used to validate the different AVQ methods. Results : We reviewed and categorized AVQ methods in 121 studies. Approximately 60% used the ellipsoid method, while 24% used the 3D model. For 50 randomly selected aneurysms, volumes were measured using 3D Slicer, RadiAnt, and ellipsoid method. Using 3D Slicer as the reference, the ratios of mean difference to mean volume obtained by RadiAnt and ellipsoid method were -1.21±7.46% and 4.04±30.54%, respectively. The deviations between RadiAnt and 3D Slicer were small despite of aneurysm shapes, but those of ellipsoid method and 3D Slicer were large. Conclusion : In spite of inaccuracy, ellipsoid method is still mostly used. We propose a novel universal method for AVQ that is valid, low cost, and easy to use.

Gravity measurements at sea are considered to be made on the geoid. The free-air anomalies are then determined by subtracting the theoretical gravity values predicted on a reference ellipsoid from the observed values. The gravity effect due to the height difference between the geoid and reference ellipsoid and the mass between them is known as the 'indirect effect'. The result of applying the indirect effect to surface ship derived gravity anomalies in the North Atlantic Ocean demonstrates the importance of its inclusion for regional stuedies involving mantle processes.

Gravity reduction and Bouguer anomaly are frequently misunderstood by many geoscientists as follows; the observed gravity is reduced to a common datum plane, so that gravity effects by all materials above the datum is removed, therefore, Bouguer anomaly is located on the datum plane. In reality, Bouguer anomaly does not lie on a common datum plane, but is difference between observed gravity and reference gravity at the actual point of measurement. Commonly used gravity reduction formulas are approximate formulas. Here, we introduce complete formulas, and suggest to use them for more accurate results. We also suggest to use not the geoid but the reference ellipsoid as the vertical datum.

The map coordinate systems of Korea, based on the Bessel 1841 ellipsoid with Tokyo Datum, applied in digital mapping. So, the new geocentric system have some coordinate differences compared to GRS80 ellipsoid with the International Terrestrial Reference Frame(ITRF). Therefore, map transition procedures are needed to establish for the new coordinate system. In this paper, characteristics and tendencies about coordinate differences and map tiles systems are investigated and modules for the map coordinate transformations between two systems are developed and simulated.

Astronomic surveying has been regarded as an important method for absolute positioning of geodetic datum in each countries under the local geodetic reference system. The purposes of this study are to determine astrogeodetic geoidal heights referred to Bessel ellipsoid and to determine deflection of the vertical and geoidal heights referred to GRS80 of World Geodetic System by astronomic surveying data which have been surveyed after 1970 in Korea. The results show that $\xi$ component of the deflection of the vertical distribute from -5.725" to 8.005" and $\eta$ component distribute from -14.917" to 6.2" and astrogeodrtic geoidal heights distribute from 23 m to 27 m in the study area. Also, we could see that GRS80 was more optimal ellipsoid than Bessel 1841 ellipsoid to Korea through comparing both astrogeotic geoidal heights referred to GRS80 and Bessel 1841 ellipsoid.

The Nation Geodetic Reference System which presents a consistent location standard used in creating a map or developing national land is defined and managed by the law in a nation. Each nation had used its own geodetic system created by astronomical surveying until recently, when Geodetic Reference System(World Geodetic Reference System) has been developed and used to progress in space and satellite geodetic technologies. Korea also amended its geodetic law in December 2001, converting its national geodetic system whose reference an oval figure is Bessel ellipsoid into the World Geodetic Reference System which uses GRS80 ellipsoid as reference ellipsoid. Accordingly, the National Geography Information Institute improved law and systems related to the change for the effective conversion from its national geodetic system into the World Geodetic Reference System. In addition National geographic information institute of the results of various studies is drawn to the World Geodetic Reference System for switching technology-met some of the institutional foundation Despite of accordance with formalities, National geographic information institute, Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs and some local government of the World Geodetic Reference System, and local government has or has not spread in public institutions. Therefore, in order to promote the switch to the World Geodetic Reference System, it is required to analyze current technical and institutional problems and obstacles of the switch to the World Geodetic Reference System and to present the resolutions and to establish policy to achieve them. Accordingly, for the promotion of the switch to the World Geodetic Reference System, this study analyzed the results of previous studies, the current state of the switch to the World Geodetic Reference System and the problems of the switch, and then offered technological and institutional supplements. Furthermore, it standardized the subject and type of the conversion, defined the scope of the tasks of the National Geographic Information Institute and its related organizations, and presented the policy direction for the overall use of the World Geodetic Reference System by 2010.
