A Study for the Adaptive wavelet-based Image Merging method

Kim, Kwang-Yong,Yoon, Chang-Rak,Kim, Kyung-Ok The Korean Society for Geospatial Information Syst 2002 대한공간정보학회지 Vol.10 No.5

The goal of image merging techniques are to enhance the resolution of low-resolution images using the detail information of the high-resolution images. Among the several image merging methods, wavelet-based image merging techniques have the advantages of efficient decorrelation of image bands and time-scale analysis. However, they have no regard for spatial information between the bands. In other words, multiresolution data merging methods merge the same information-the detail information of panchromatic image-with other band images, without considering specific characteristics. Therefore, a merged image contains much unnecessary information. In this paper, we discussed this 'mixing' effect and, proposed a method to classify the detail information of the panchromatic image according to the spatial and spectral characteristics, and to minimize distortion of the merged image.

Towards alleviation of the digital divide and poverty through land information

Liou, Jae-Ik The Korean Society for Geospatial Information Syst 2002 대한공간정보학회지 Vol.10 No.5

Accesses to lands, houses, the Internet and other utilities are regarded as basic human needs to escape poverty and are required to recognize the relationships between the digital divide and socio-economical inequality. The digital divide might not be a single technical disparity, but stems from a complicated mixture of economic and socio-technical symptoms of inequality. There is growing awareness of scrutinizing causal mechanisms between the digital divide and poverty since combating poverty could be a primary step to mitigate the digital divide. In this paper, the Hexad model is proposed to explicate poverty interpretation by using 6 parameters as a major tool for partly assisting in poverty monitoring system in connection with land information. A solution model of the Internet is suggested to break the digital divide. It expounds a conceptual framework and new idea for poverty management to notify spatio-temporal locations of poor actors and geography of the digital divide when efforts of poverty eradication hinge on understandings of geographic location of digital disadvantaged groups through parcel-based land information.

Modeling temporal cadastre for land information management

Liou, Jae-Ik The Korean Society for Geospatial Information Syst 2002 대한공간정보학회지 Vol.10 No.5

Time is regarded as an essential feature of land information enabling to track historical landmarks of land uses, ownerships, and taxations based on cadastral maps. Object-oriented temporal modeling helps to simulate and imitate time-varying cadastral data in a chronological and persistent manner. The aim of study is to analyze the role of temporal cadastre tracing footprints of foregoing events in response to various needs and demands associated with historical information of cadastral transactions. In this paper, temporal cadastral object model (TCOM) is proposed to delineate object version history. As an evidence of a new approach and conceptual idea for the importance of temporal cadastre, a part of spatio-temporal processes is illustrated to explain major changes of cadastral map. The feasibility and application of the approach is confirmed by proof-of-concept of temporal cadastre in land information management.

본 논문은 enterprise CIS 기반의 강원도 재해관리시스템 개발에 관해 기술하였다. 이 프로젝트는 '강원 종합 GIS 21 계획'의 일환으로 이루어졌다. 재해방재과에서는 2년 프로젝트로서 재해 관리시스템을 개발하는 중이며, 산림, 문화, 환경, 관광 등의 측면에서 사업타당성을 분석하였다. GIS 구축 1단계에서는 반년이상을 재해관리의 필요성에 대해 초점을 두어 연구하였다. 계획과정에서 강원도 전체 지역에 대한 장기적인 정보가 필요하였다. 또한 평가와 응답단계에서는 기상청과 다른 기관으로부터의 실시간 자료가 요구되었다. 이런 모든 정보는 주의 깊게 분석되고 참조되었다. ESRI의 새로운 GIS기술은 자연 재난/재해에서의 문제점을 해결해주었다. 예를 들어 위험물질의 이동경로는 도로망 분석을 통해 최소비용 경로를 찾는데 도움을 주었고, 물질을 운반하는 차량의 출발지와 도착지를 선택할 수 있었다. 또한 재해지역으로부터의 사람과 재산에 대한 최단시간내의 대피계획을 수립함으로써 재해문제의 전반적인 위험과 비용을 최소화할 수 있었다. The purpose of this paper is to describe the Disaster Management System Development of Enterprise GIS at the Kangwon Province in Korea. This project is included into 'the Kangwon Enterprise GIS 21 plan'. The Division of Disaster Management is in the middle of the 2-year project of the Disaster Management System development, appropriate for business performed at the Departments of Forestry, Culture, Environment, Tourism, etc. At the 1st phase of CIS implementation, for more than half a year we focused on the necessity of management of disasters. In the planning process, we needed long-term information on the whole area of Kangwon. In the assessment and response processes, we needed real-time data from Korean Meteorological Administration and other agencies. All the above information was carefully studied and referred to. ESRI's new GIS technologies solve the natural hazard/disaster problems. For example, hazardous materials routing often needs to be found the least expensive path through a roadway network. In the circumstances given, we can choose the departure point and destination of the vehicle, which carries the materials. It's also possible to minimize overall risk and costs of disaster problems by making a plan of people and possessions evacuation from the disaster area in short time limits. We can meet all the above goals using the latest ESRI's technologies.

Urban sprawl and its impact on the land cover-a geospatial study

Jayakumar, S.,Enkhbaatar, Lkhagva,Heo, Joon The Korean Society for Geospatial Information Syst 2008 대한공간정보학회지 Vol.16 No.4

The present study was aimed to estimate the urban sprawl in a historical city of India using series of satellite data between 1968 and 2005(37 years) and GIS. The total area of the Tiruchirappalli city was 1991.96 ha during 1968 and it was expanded into 4335.98 ha(117.67%) during 2005. The average growth rate per year was 63.35 ha. This 117.67% growth was at the cost of agriculture land(97.81%) and water body(2.19%). The satellite data used in this study were found to be good source of information for this kind of analysis and further studies are need to estimate the impact of this city expansion on agriculture yield and ground water.

Quality Test and Control of Kinematic DGPS Survey Results

Lim, Sam-Sung The Korean Society for Geospatial Information Syst 2002 대한공간정보학회지 Vol.10 No.5

Depending upon geographical features and surrounding errors in the survey field, inaccurate positioning is inevitable in a kinematic DGPs survey. Therefore, a data inaccuracy detection algorithm and an interpolation algorithm are essential to meet the requirement of a digital map. In this study, GPS characteristics are taken into account to develop the data inaccuracy detection algorithm. Then, the data interpolation algothim is obtained, based on the feature type of the survey. A digital map for 20km of a rural highway is produced by the kinematic DGPS survey and the features of interests are lines associated with the road. Since the vertical variation of GPS data is relatively higher, the trimmed mean of vertical variation is used as criteria of the inaccuracy detection. Four cases of 0.5%, 1%, 2.5% and 5% trimmings have been experimented. Criteria of four cases are 69cm, 65cm, 61cm and 42cm, respectively. For the feature of a curved line, cublic spine interpolation is used to correct the inaccurate data. When the feature is more or less a straight line, the interpolation has been done by a linear polynomial. Difference between the actual distance and the interpolated distance are few centimeters in RMS.

Geometric Corrections of Inaccessible Area Imagery by Employing a Correlative Method

Lee, Hong-Shik,Park, Jun-Ku,Lim, Sam-Sung The Korean Society for Geospatial Information Syst 2002 대한공간정보학회지 Vol.10 No.5

The geometriccorrection of a satellite imagery is performed by making a systematic correction with satellite ephemerides and attitude angles followed by employing the Ground Control Points (GCSs) or Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). In a remote area or an inaccessible area, however, GCPs are unavailable to be surveyed and thus they can be obtained only by reading maps, which are not accurate in reality. In this study, we performed the systematic correction process to the inaccessible area and the precise geometric correction process to the adjacent accessible area by using GCPs. Then we analyzed the correlation between the two geo-referenced Korea Multiurpose Satellite (KOMPSAT-1 EOC) images. A new geometrical correction for the inaccessible area imagery is achieved by applying the correlation to the inaccessibleimagery. By employing this new method, the accuracy of the inaccessible area imagery is significantly improved absolutely and relatively.

본 연구의 목적은 KLT추적자를 사용하여 무인헬기에서 취득된 비디오 동영상과 같은 연속된 영상 프레임간의 공액점을 추적하기 위한 추적자의 실행능력을 평가하는데 있다. 연구 대상지역으로서 장수군을 선정하여 무인헬기의 카메라에서 취득된 연속영상을 이용하였으며, KLT 매개변수를 이용한 특징점 추출과 추적을 분석하기 위해서 4가지 경우를 고려한 영상자료?V이 사용되었다. 그 결과 영상간의 이동과 회전이 매우 작은 영상들간의 공액점 추적은 약 90%이상이 성공적으로 추적되었다. 그러나 이동 및 회전량이 큰 영상간의 추적에서는 잘못 추적된 공액점이 포함되고 있어서 이를 보완하기 위한 연구가 추가적으로 수행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. The goal of this study is to evaluate the KLT(Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) for extracting and tracking the features using various data acquired from UAV. Sequences of images were collected for Jangsu-Gun area to perform the analysis. Four data sets were subjected to extract and track the features using the parameters of the KLT. From the results of the experiment, more than 90 percent of the features extracted from the first frame could successfully track through the next frame when the shift between frames is small. But when the frame to frame motion is large in non-consecutive frames, KLT tracker is failed to track the corresponding points. Future research will be focused on feature tracking of sequence frames with large shift and rotation.

A Discussion of the Two Alternative Methods for Quantifying Changes : by Pixel Values Versus by Thematic Categories

정성학,Choung, Song-Hak The Korean Society for Geospatial Information Syst 1993 대한공간정보학회지 Vol.1 No.1

여러 분야에 있어서 원격탐사의 탐지 및 모니터링 기능과 지리정보시스템의 이성적 접근 및 분석기능을 접목함으로써 이에 의한 많은 효과를 얻고 있다. 원격탐사기술 및 지리정보시스템을 접목하는 데에 있어서 핵심적인 응용분야로는 변화를 분석하는 것이 있다. 이러한 변화가 그 자체로 관심의 대상이 되거나, 또는 이로 말미암아 우리는 (지도를 개정하는 등의) 행동을 취하게 되기 때문에 원격탐사는 변화를 탐지하는 데에 있어서 훌륭한 도구가 된다. 지리정보시스템 또한 변화의 과정을 정량화 하는 최상의 분석도구가 될 수 있다. 이러한 변화를 정량화 하는 데에는 두 가지 방법이 있다. 개념적으로 간단한 방법으로는 각 이미지의 적셀 값을 비판하는 것이 있다. 이 방법은 실질적인 반면 (적용이) 단순하여 복잡한 (자연) 환경에서의 다양한 변화를 분석할 수는 없다. 이에 대한 또 다른 방법으로는 기호변화탐지가 있다. 분석자는 먼저 판별하고자 하는 중요한 분류항목들을 결정한다 이 방법은 토지리용 및 피복도가 정확하게 구분이 된 다음에야 효과적일 수가 있다. 디지탈 변화탐지를 수행하고자 하는 사람은 조사대상지역의 환경, 데이타 세트의 질 그리고 변화탐지 알고리즘 등에 대해서 잘 알고 있어야 한다. 또한, 특정지역 및 (추진하고자하는) 과제에 적합한 변화탐지 알고리즘을 파악하는 작업을 수행해야 한다. In a number of areas, there are important benefits to be gained when we bring both the detection and monitoring abilities of remote sensing as well as the philosophical approach and analytic capabilities of a geographic information system to bear on a problem. A key area in the joint applications of remote sensing technology and GIS is to identify change. Whether this change is of interest for its own sake, or because the change causes us to act (for example, to update a map), remote sensing provides an excellent suite of tools for detecting change. At the same time, a GIS is perhaps the best analytic toot for quantifying the process of change. There are two alternative methods for quantifying changes. The conceptually simple approach is to un the pixel values in each of the images. This method is practical but may be too simple to identify the variety of changes in a complex scene. The common alternative is called symbolic change detection. The analyst first decides on a set of thematic categories that are important to distinguish for the application. This approach is useful only if accurate landuse/cover classifications can be obtained. Persons conducting digital change detection must be intimately familiar with the environment under study, the quality of the data set and the characteristics of change detection algorithms. Also, much work remains to identify optimum change detection algorithms for specific geographic areas and problems.
