Previous technology of remote sensing was focused on analyzing raster image and gaining information through image processing. But now it has extended to diverse fields like automatic map generation, material exploitation or monitoring environmental changes with effort to utilizing practical usage. And with rapid expansion of information exchange on Internet and high-speed network, the demand of public which want to utilize remotely sensed image has been increased. This makes growth of service on acquisition and processing remotely sensed image. GeoNet is a Java-based remotely sensed image processing system. It is based on Java object-oriented paradigm and features cross-platform, web-based execution and extensibility to client/server remotely sensed image processing model. Remotely sensed image processing software made by Java programming language can suggest alternatives to meet readily demand on remotely sensed image processing in proportion to increase of remotely sensed data. In this paper, we introduce GeoNet and explain its architecture.

Using soft classification, it is possible to obtain the land cover proportions from the remotely sensed image. These land cover proportions are then used as input data for a procedure called "super-resolution mapping" to produce the predicted hard land cover layers at higher resolution than the original remotely sensed image. Superresolution mapping can be implemented using a number of algorithms in which the Hopfield Neural Network (HNN) has showed some advantages. The HNN has improved the land cover classification through superresolution mapping greatly with the high resolution data. However, the super-resolution mapping is based on the spatial dependence assumption, therefore it is predicted that the accuracy of resulted land cover classes depends on the relative size of spatial features and the spatial resolution of the remotely sensed image. This research is to evaluate the capability of HNN to implement the super-resolution mapping for SPOT image to create higher resolution land cover classes with different zoom factor.

Spatial resolution of land covers from remotely sensed images can be increased using super-resolution mapping techniques for soft-classified land cover proportions. A further development of super-resolution mapping technique is downscaling the original remotely sensed image using super-resolution mapping techniques with a forward model. In this paper, the model for increasing spatial resolution of remote sensing multispectral image is tested with real SPOT 5 imagery at 10m spatial resolution for an area in Bac Giang Province, Vietnam in order to evaluate the feasibility of application of this model to the real imagery. The soft-classified land cover proportions obtained using a fuzzy c-means classification are then used as input data for a Hopfield neural network (HNN) to predict the multispectral images at sub-pixel spatial resolution. The 10m SPOT multispectral image was improved to 5m, 3,3m and 2.5m and compared with SPOT Panchromatic image at 2.5m resolution for assessment.Visually, the resulted image is compared with a SPOT 5 panchromatic image acquired at the same time with the multispectral data. The predicted image is apparently sharper than the original coarse spatial resolution image.

In recent years, as remotly-sensed image processing technologies have been improved and spread widely in the application areas, many new requirements for the image processing technologies have arisen. However, it is difficult and costly to access remotely-sensed image processing systems. Moreover, these systems have thier own processing facilities which are not easily accessible for general users. In this paper, those problems are challenged by adopting Internet as a universal information network for accessing remotly-sensed image DBMS and by allowing users to work remotely on the image processing. A remotly-sensed image processing system which can be accessed via Internet was designed and implemented. This system can be used to manipulate images over remote DBMS. The Illustra object-oriented relational DBMS with CGI(Common Gateway Interface) web interface was used in this project. The client consists of a WWW(World Wide Web) Netscap$e^{TM}$ browser, and the server consists of HTTPD(Web daemon), Illustra DBMS and Java modules in order to process the image being displayed. The developed system was tested on LAN environment and the service response time met the requirements.

High-resolution remotely sensed data such as SPOT-5 imagery are employed to study the effectiveness of the watershed segmentation algorithm. Existing problems in this approach are identified and appropriate solutions are proposed. As a case study, the panchromatic SPOT-5 image of part of Beijing urban areas has been segmented by using the MATLAB software. In segmentation, the structuring element has been firstly created, then the gaps between objects have been exaggerated and the objects of interest are converted. After that, the intensity valleys have been detected and the watershed segmentation have been conducted. Through this process, the objects in an image are divided into separate objects. Finally, the effectiveness of the watershed segmentation approach for high-resolution imagery has been summarized. The approach to solve the problems such as over-segmentation has been proposed.

National Parks in Korea occupy about four percents of South Korean land. This paper aims to prove the potentiality of the application of remotely sensed data for the effective management of National Parks. Different satellite images such as Landsat TM, IRS-1C, Alternative image, and IKONOS image are analyzed for the detection of changes, the extraction of degraded areas, and the comparison of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in Bukhansan National Park. The artificial structures such as buildings and paved areas are overvalued in relatively higher resolution data. The result showed that the choice of images should be determined according to specific purposes and the combination of different resolution data may be the solution for the effective management of National Park.

In this study, the digital image processing with image enhancement based on homomorphic filtering was performed using geophysical imaging data such as gravity, magnetic data and sub-scenes of satellite images such as LANDSAT, IKONOS, and KOMPSAT. Windows application program for executing homomorphic filtering was designed and newly implemented. In general, homomorphic filtering is technique that is based on Fourier transform, which enhances the contrast of image by removing the low frequencies and amplifying the high frequencies in frequency domain. We can enhance the image selectively using homomorphic filtering as compared with the existing method, which enhance the image totally. Through several experiment using remotely sensed imagery and geophysical image with this program, it is concluded that homomorphic filtering is more effective to reveal distinct characteristics for some complicated and multi-associated features on image data.

The land cover classification by using remotely sensed image becomes necessary and useful for hydrologic and water quality related applications. The purpose of this study is to obtain land classification map by using remotely sensed data : Landsat TM and KOMPSAT-1 EOC. The classification was conducted by maximum likelihood method with training set and Tasseled Cap Transform. The best result was obtain from the Landsat TM merged by KOMPSAT EOC, that is, similar with statistical data. This is caused by setting more precise training set with the enhanced spatial resolution by using KOMPSAT EOC(6.6m${\times}$6.6m).
