Abstract PDF: Air pollution in East Asia presents critical environmental and health challenges, particularly in industrial regions affected by domestic and cross-border emissions. This study developed a GEO AI dataset specifically for industrial park segmentation, integrating Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) geostationary satellite data, and Air Quality Monitoring Network data. Optimized for semantic segmentation tasks with labeled data specifically for industrial park classification, this dataset serves as a foundational asset for the precise identification and spatial tracking of major air pollution sources. We validated the dataset’s applicability using a modified U-Net model, achieving a mean intersection over union of 0.8146 and pixel accuracy of 0.9608, thereby demonstrating its potential as a tool for detecting and monitoring pollutant sources in industrial areas. With future expansion through additional temporal data and diverse pollutant measurements, this dataset is anticipated to support regional air quality monitoring efforts and inform strategies for pollution control across East Asia.

Abstract PDF: In South Korea, air pollution has emerged as a pressing social issue, necessitating data-driven approaches to monitor sources of air pollutants. This study constructed a GEO AI dataset for detecting air pollution sources in urbanized areas, utilizing Landsat 8/9 satellite imagery, Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer geostationary satellite data, and air quality monitoring network data. The dataset is optimized for semantic segmentation tasks, including labeled data for urban area segmentation, and is designed to enable precise detection of pollution sources within urban regions by integrating satellite imagery and air quality information. Using this dataset, we applied a modified U-Net model to classify pollutant sources in urbanized areas, achieving high performance with an mIoU of 0.8592 and pixel accuracy of 0.9433. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the GEO AI dataset as a tool for identifying and managing major pollution sources, providing foundational data for air quality monitoring and policy development across South Korea and East Asia. With further integration of additional air pollution data, this dataset is expected to contribute to long-term air quality management and the mitigation of health impacts associated with pollution.

GeoAI Dataset for Urban Water Body Detection Using TerraSAR-X Satellite Radar Imagery: Eu-Ru Lee, Jun-Hyeok Jung, Ki-Chang Kim, Seong-Jae Yu, Hyung-Sup Jung; GEO DATA. 2024;6(4):435-450. Published online December 31, 2024; DOI: https://doi.org/10.22761/GD.2024.0046

Abstract PDF: This study presents the generation of a GeoAI dataset for urban water body detection using TerraSAR-X satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. The study area includes urban regions in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, chosen for their complex structures and frequent flooding, which pose challenges for SAR analysis. The data preprocessing involved generating Sigma0 images, image co-registration, median filtering for speckle noise reduction, decibel conversion, and orthorectification using Copernicus DEM for precise geometric correction. Label data were created using the global river widths from Landsat dataset combined with the Otsu thresholding method and fine-tuned with Google Map imagery. Annotation guidelines were meticulously designed to account for SAR-specific phenomena such as layover, corner reflections, and side lobe effects, ensuring consistent and accurate labeling across different orbits and observation conditions. The resulting dataset supports deep learning models in learning geometric characteristics of SAR imagery, enhancing water body detection capabilities. This work provides a foundational resource for future applications in urban water management and climate-resilient disaster response.

Abstract PDF

For the spatiotemporal analysis of water resources and disasters, water body detection using satellite imagery is crucial. Recently, AI-based methods have been widely employed in water body detection using satellite imagery. To use these AI techniques, a substantial amount of training data is required. When creating training data for water body detection, optical imagery and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery have their respective strengths and weaknesses. To use the advantages of both, this study proposes a water body detection method through the fusion of optical and SAR imagery. The results of the proposed model show an Intersection over Union of 0.612 and an F1 score of 0.759, which is better compared to using either optical or SAR imagery alone. This research presents a method that can easily generate a large amount of water body data, making it promising for use as AI training data for water body detection.
