Special Issue on KOMPSAT Image Processing and Applications

Over the past several decades, the spatial resolution of satellite imagery has been continuously enhanced by the improvement in satellite sensor technology. The design, performance and application of remote sensors for geoinformatics and remote sensing have become more essential to understand the physical, ecological, hydrological and environmental characteristics of the Earth surfaces. The KOMPSAT program has been carried out to meet the national demand for high resolution satellite imagery and to acquire advanced satellite technology. In this special issue, the Korean journal of remote sensing invites original research articles and literature review papers addressing the state-of-the-art remote sensing technologies and methods in applying geo-spatial technologies, which include geospatial information sciences (GIS), remote sensing (RS), photogrammetry, etc. The objective of this special issue is to create a multidisciplinary forum of discussion on recent advances in remote sensing technologies as well as new remote sensing applications to Earth science, ecology, engineering, etc. Manuscript submissions are encouraged to share the latest progress and achievements for advanced utilization of KOMPSAT imagery. Both experimental and theoretical/simulated results will be welcomed to this special issue.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

High resolution optic, SAR, MIR image processing
Image restoration and image quality improvement
Geo-spatial data models with KOMPSAT
Application and innovative use of high resolution sensor techniques
Multi-sensor integration and applications
Image processing algorithm and systems
Geo-spatial information extraction and data mining
Real-time emergency support systems and applications
Change detection and target detection
Mapping and classification
