If small cracks in stud bolts are not detected early enough, they grow rapidly and cause total fracture. It is difficult to detect, prior to failure, flaws such as stress-corrosion cracking in thread roots and corrosion wastages using conventional ultrasonic testing methods during inservice inspection. This study show a method of detecting a small crack by digital signal processing. When ultrasonic beams travels into threads in parallel way, the echoes from each successive threads has almost the same intervals between any two signals. We can estimate the next thread signal based on previous thread signal by the predictive distance. The optimized operator is used to remove the predicted successive thread signals so that a small crack signal can be detected.

In order to provide precision approach service based on GBAS, air navigation service providers should validate the GBAS system performance against international standard requirements and receive approval. The GBAS manufacturer should define integrity threat, analyze the integrity monitors and evaluate performance of the implemented monitors to verify integrity performance which is critical to the aircraft safety. This paper describes a statistical test result to evaluate performance of the code carrier divergence monitors implemented in KARI Integrity Monitor System software. The paper introduces analysis and test procedure which is developed for the performance evaluation and describes the analysis, the test scenario generation and the test results. The results show that the implemented monitors can detect the expected minimum detectable errors with satisfying the probability of missed detection requirements.

The proposed protocol is to get better performance compared to the existing method, also it can save the node number. There is needed a lot of secondary user for cooperative spectrum detection in Rayleigh fading channel. In this proposal, we suggest the new cooperative spectrum detector which can choose one secondary user with high power, while other SUs can be used as relays.

In this paper, infrared thermography measurement technique has been used to develop standard measurement technique for nondestructive testing of composite materials which is widely used in aerospace industries. To increase the defect detection rate, the related experiment used the lock-in IR-thermographiy method. Therefore it is of considerable interest in the field of non-destructive testing for fast discontinuity detection by using ultrasonic lock-in infrared thermography. The result also shows that as the investigation period of light source is lengthened according to the thickness of specimen, the possibility of detecting defects gets higher as well. However, the reason why the result values were not favorable when less than 50 mHz of light source was provided is because it was difficult to detect defects as the defect parts became a state of thermal equilibrium in general when thermal diffusivity affects the entire materials.

Automated Vision Inspection (AVI) systems automatically detect any defect feature in a surface image. The performance of the system can be measured under a special circumstances such as ultimate defect detection. In this situation, the defect signal level is similar to noise level and it becomes hard to make a solid decision with AVI systems. In this paper, we propose an effective preprocessing technique to enhance SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio). The method is motivated by some principles of HVS (Human Visual System) and RLC (Run Length Coding) techniques is used for this purpose. The proposed preprocessing technique enhances SNR under ultimate defect conditions and improves overall performance of AVI system.

조명 및 반사광의 성질에 의해 블러링이 발생하고 이런 영상을 인식하는 경우 정확한 에지 검출이 어렵게 된다. 이를 최적으로 검출하기 위해 일정하게 에지를 검출할 수 있는 가우시안 함수와 2차 미분 함수를 합성한 새로운 하이브리드 함수를 제안하고 실제 영상과 컨볼루션 한 후 함수의 $\sigma$값을 변화시키면서, Canny 알고리즘의 방향성 에지 검출 방법을 적용하여 에지를 검출하였다. 그 결과 Sobel, Robert, Canny 에지 검출방법보다 0.2~14㏈ 정도 안정적으로 에지가 검출되었다.

본 논문에서는 최근 관심이 증가하고 있는 축구 경기 MPEG 비디오에서 정면이 변하는 부분을 검출하고 동일한 의미의 장면들을 분류하는 기술을 제안한다. MPEG 비디오에서 디코딩 과정을 거치지 않고 직접 에지(edge) 정보와 색상 분포 정보를 추출하여 적은 연산량으로 장면 전환 검출의 정확성을 높이고, 검출된 결과를 기반으로 샷(shot)을 특징 지울 수 있는 특정 색상들과 에지 정보를 이용해서 축구 MPEG 비디오내의 장면들을 내용적으로 분류한다. 제안한 방법은 카메라 움직임으로 발생하는 글러벌 모션의 변화에 대해서도 효과적으로 장면 전환을 검출하고 의미적으로 유사한 샷들에 대하여 장면 분류를 수행하는 결과를 확인하였다.

In this paper, an algorithm for detecting defects in thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT-LCD) cell images is presented. TFT-LCD cell images typically contain periodic cell patterns that make it difficult to detect defects. We propose an efficient and powerful algorithm for eliminating the cell patterns using magnitude spectrum analysis. The first step was to obtain a spectrum for a cell image using the Fourier transform while eliminating larger coefficients using an adaptive filter. Next, an image without the cell pattern was obtained by using the inverse Fourier transform. Finally, the defect pixels were detected using the STD algorithm. The validity of the proposed method was investigated using real TFT-LCD cell images. The experimental results indicate that the proposed technique is extremely effective for detecting defects in TFT-LCD cell images.

The ultrasonic resonance method was applied to detect the disbond interface and empty layer between steel and FRP of the exit cone. The ultrasonic resonance method can easily detect the disbond interface and empty layer by amplifying the ultrasonic signal, but pulse echo method is difficult to distinguish adhesive interface from disbond interface or empty layer. The resonance frequency was predicted using the pressure reflection coefficient of 3-layered medium, and measured from ultrasonic signal of the test block using Fast Fourier Transform. The ultrasonic resonance proved that the predicted resonance frequency was in good agreement with the measured resonance frequency.
