우주물체 전자광학 감시체계(OWL: Optical Wide-field Patrol)는 전세계에 5개의 50cm급 자동 망원경과 1개의 2m급 망원경을 설치하여 인공위성의 궤도 정보를 얻는 시스템이다. 이 시스템을 운영하게 될 소프트웨어는 크게 두 부분으로 나누어지는데, 해외 원격지에 설치되는 관측소의 50cm급 망원경의 마운트와 검출기, 돔, 기상 측기, 전원 제어 장치를 통합하여 무인으로 관측을 수행하고 그 결과를 본부에 보고하며, 각 시스템을 안전하게 보호하는 기능을 갖는 SOS(Site Operating System)와, 스케줄러에 의하여 각 관측소에 필요한 관측 일정을 작성하여 전달하고 관측소의 운영 현황을 모니터링 하는 NOS(Network Operating System)로 구성된다. OWL OS를 위하여, 시스템을 전반적으로 운영하는 운영 시나리오를 설계하였으며, 이 시나리오에는 기상조건 악화와 장비 오류 등의 경우에 시스템을 보호하고 상황을 즉시 보고하는 비상사태 대처 방안을 포함하였다. 이러한 운영의 모든 단계에서 주기적 또는 필요시 로그 기록이 남도록 하였으며, 이 로그 기록을 바탕으로 사용자가 원할 때에 본부에서 운영상황을 요약하여 보여주는 각종 통계 자료를 작성하여 확인할 수 있도록 하였다.

This paper discusses a graphic user interface(GUI) for the concealed target segmentation. The human subject hiding a metal gun is captured by the passive millimeter wave(MMW) imaging system. The imaging system operates on the regime of 8 mm wavelength. The MMW image is analyzed by the multi-level segmentation to segment and identify a concealed weapon under clothing. The histogram of the passive MMW image is modeled with the Gaussian mixture distribution. LBG vector quantization(VQ) and expectation and maximization(EM) algorithms are sequentially applied to segment the body and the object area. In the experiment, the GUI is implemented by the MFC(Microsoft Foundation Class) and the OpenCV(Computer Vision) libraries and tested in real-time showing the efficiency of the system.

We propose an active stabilization method for the receiver of NRZ-DPSK transmission. The 1-bit delayed Mach-Zehlder interferometer is thermally controlled to maintain the largest DC component power ratio between the constructive and destructive output ports, for the optimum transmission condition. This method is very cost effective since no additional components are required. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme guarantees error free performance even when there was ~ 1 GHz optical carrier frequency fluctuation in 10 Gbps transmission.

본 논문에서는 카메라의 포커싱과 아웃포커싱에 의해 이미지에서 뿌옇게 표현되는 DoF(Depth of field, 피사계 심도) 영역을 합성곱 신경망을 통해 찾는 방법을 제안한다. 우리의 접근 방식은 RGB채널기반의 상호-상관 필터를 이용하여 DoF영역을 이미지로부터 효율적으로 분류하고, 합성곱 신경망 네트워크에 학습하기 위한 데이터를 구축하며, 이렇게 얻어진 데이터를 이용하여 이미지-DoF가중치 맵 데이터 쌍을 설정한다. 학습할 때 사용되는 데이터는 이미지와 상호-상관 필터 기반으로 추출된 DoF 가중치 맵을 이용하며, 네트워크 학습 단계에서 수렴률을 높이기 위해 스무딩을 과정을 한번 더 적용한 결과를 사용한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 합성곱 신경망은 이미지로부터 포커싱과 아웃포커싱된 DoF영역을 자동으로 추출하는 과정을 학습시키기 위해 사용된다. 테스트 결과로 얻은 DoF 가중치 이미지는 입력 이미지에서 DoF영역을 빠른 시간 내에 찾아내며, 제안하는 방법은 DoF영역을 사용자의 ROI(Region of interest)로 활용하여 NPR렌더링, 객체 검출 등 다양한 곳에 활용이 가능하다.

X-rays are extensively employed for non-destructive inspection, applied to packaged food, human anatomy, and industrial products. Recently, this technology has extended to inspecting batteries in electric vehicles. Given the challenge of manual inspection for a substantial volume of batteries, deep learning is leveraged to detect battery defects. However, the effectiveness of deep learning heavily depends upon data size, and acquiring authentic defective images is a difficult and time-consuming task. In this study, we use data augmentation and investigate the impact of data size on battery inspection performance. The results provide valuable insights for enhancing the capabilities of the inspection process.

The DNA damage by linoleic acid hydroperoxide (LHPO) was investigated in a DNA-LHPO system at $37^{\circ}C$ to elucidate the DNA damage mechanism by lipid peroxidation products. LHPO shelved a great DNA damage with the increase of its concentrations. DNA was completely damaged in a LHPO-DNA(weight ratio, 2:3) system after incubation for 2 days. The degree of DNA ,damage by LHPO was greated than that of linoleic acid. In the quantitative analysis of DNA damage, the decreasing ratio of DNA content was $60\%$ in $84{\mu}g$ LHPO system incubated for 1 day compared to the control solution marked $30\%$. There were no participation of active oxygens on the DNA damage by LHPO.

In the car license plate recognition system, it is very important to extract the part of the license plate from the car image. In this paper, I use ACL algorithm to extract the license plate image from car image. The ACL algorithm is used to color and luminance information, either. Therefore in this paper, suggested algorithm is called ACL algorithm The ACL algorithm uses color, luminance information and the rate of license plate information Each of these information are used to exact area of license plate. The result of experiment to extract the car license plate with ACL algorithm is 97% extraction rate. The result of experiment with ACL algorithm for the character region, character recognition is 92% extraction rate.

In this paper, we propose an automatic segmentation method of the endo- and epicardial boundary by using ray-casting profile based on intensity distribution and gradient information in CT images. First, endo-cardial boundary points are detected by using adaptive thresholding and seeded region growing. To include papillary muscles inside the boundary, the endo-cardial boundary points are refined by using ray-casting based profile. Second, epi-cardial boundary points which have both a myocardial intensity value and a maximum gradient are detected by using ray-casting based adaptive gradient profile. Finally, to preserve an elliptical or circular shape, the endo- and epi-cardial boundary points are refined by using elliptical interpolation and B-spline curve fitting. Then, curvature-based contour fitting is performed to overcome problems associated with heterogeneity of the myocardium intensity and lack of clear delineation between myocardium and adjacent anatomic structures. To evaluate our method, we performed visual inspection, accuracy and processing time. For accuracy evaluation, average distance difference and overalpping region ratio between automatic segmentation and manual segmentation are calculated. Experimental results show that the average distnace difference was $0.56{\pm}0.24mm$. The overlapping region ratio was $82{\pm}4.2%$ on average. In all experimental datasets, the whole process of our method was finished within 1 second.

An analytical method applicable to quality control and its optimum conditions were studied for rapid and efficient analysis of sorbic and benzoic acids used as preservatives in the commercial soybean paste. In gas chromatographic analysis of sorbic and benzoic acids, the application of HP-FFAP (acid modified polyethylene) wide bore column improved the separation ability significantly. By setting the oven temperature of GC to $200^{\circ}C$, the total elapsed time for quantitative analysis was also reduced to the level required in using packed column. By extracting sorbic and benzoic acids from soybean paste with an automatic steam distillation device, the elapsed time for analysis was reduced by 80% more compared to using conventional steam distillation method. The recoveries of sorbic and benzoic acids by the automatic steam distillation were 98.1% and 99.9%, respectively. The sorbic acid was found in 3 samples of 14 commercial soybean pastes, of which contents were $466{\sim}530ppm$, while $0.3{\sim}4.4ppm$ of benzoic acid was found in all the samples.
