Abstract
Water, as an important part of ecosystems, is also an important topic in the field of remote sensing. Shadows and dense vegetation negatively affect most traditional methods used to extract water body information from remotely sensed images. As a result, extracting water body information with high precision from a wide range of remote sensing images which contain complex ground-based objects has proved difficult. In the present study, a method used for extracting water body information from remote sensing imagery considers the greenness and wetness of ground-based objects. Ground objects with varied water content and vegetation coverage have different characteristics in their greenness and wetness components obtained by the Tasseled Cap transformation (TCT). Multispectral information can be output as brightness, greenness, and wetness by Tasseled Cap transformation, which is widely used in satellite remote sensing images. Hence, a model used to extract water body information was constructed to weaken the influence of shadows and dense vegetation. Jiangsu and Anhui provinces are located along the Yangtze River, China, and were selected as the research area. The experiment used the wide-field-of-view (WFV) sensor onboard the Gaofen-1 satellite to acquire remotely sensed photos. The results showed that the contours and spatial extent of the water bodies extracted by the proposed method are highly consistent, and the influence of shadow and buildings is minimized; the method has a high Kappa coefficient (0.89), overall accuracy (92.72%), and user accuracy (88.04%). Thus, the method is useful in updating a geographical database of water bodies and in water resource management.

Abstract
Based on multiple linear regression (MLR) models, we estimated the PM2.5 at Seoul using a number of aerosol optical depth (AOD) values obtained from ground-based and satellite remote sensing observations. To construct the MLR model, we consider various parameters related to the ambient meteorology and air quality. In general, all AOD values resulted in the high quality of PM2.5 estimation through the MLR method: mostly correlation coefficients >~0.8. Among various polar-orbit satellite AODs, AOD values from the MODIS measurement contribute to better PM2.5 estimation. We also found that the quality of estimated PM2.5 shows some seasonal variation; the estimated PM2.5 values consistently have the highest correlation with in situ PM2.5 in autumn, but are not well established in winter, probably due to the difficulty of AOD retrieval in the winter condition. MLR modeling using spectral AOD values from the ground-based measurements revealed that the accuracy of PM2.5 estimation does not depend on the selected wavelength. Although all AOD values used in this study resulted in a reasonable accuracy range of PM2.5 estimation, our analyses of the difference in estimated PM2.5 reveal the importance of utilizing the proper AOD for the best quality of PM2.5 estimation.
