Since the advent of high resolution satellite image, possibilities of applying various human interpretation mechanism to these images have increased. Also many studies about these possibilities in many fields such as computer vision, pattern recognition, artificial intellegence and remote sensing have been done. In this field of these studies, texture is defined as a kind of quantity related to spatial distribution of brightness and tone and also plays an important role for interpretation of images. Especially, methods of obtaining texture by statistical model have been studied intensively. Among these methods, texture measurement method based on cooccurrence matrix is highly estimated because it is easy to calculate texture features compared with other methods. In addition, these results in high classification accuracy when this is applied to satellite images and aerial photos. But in the existing studies using cooccurrence matrix, features have been chosen arbitrarily without considering feature variation. And not enough studies have been implemented for appropriate resolution selection in which cooccurrence matrix can extract texture. Therefore, this study reviews the concept of cooccurrence matrix as a texture measurement method, evaluates usefulness of several features obtained from cooccurrence matrix, and proposes appropriate resolution by investigating variance trend of several features.

We propose the row method that is able to consider the SAR compliance test from the very beginning step of developing the mobile phone. The reason this new method is plausible is that we adopt the certified FDTD for the reliability of calculation, utilizing 1 mm high resolution model that is to model the phantom and the mobile phone almost identically to the reality. In this paper we introduce the process that will apply the proposed method in order to reduce the SAR of the mobile phone that has been problematic in satisfying the SAR compliance test. It results in dropping in the SAR that we keep the mobile phone or its antenna while we use it. Therefore here we make a claim as fellows. When we develop the new mobile phone, we should use the computer simulation combining the CAD design and radiation pattern rather than make a prototype and then use the trial and error method. Moreover the former way leads us to boost up the developing efficiency and reduce the cost.

This study aims to develop a plastic aspheric lens for a 13-megapixel mobile phone camera by injection-compression molding. A mold for injection-compression molding experiments was fabricated with a movable upper plate and four springs. During cavity filling for an aspheric lens with a thickness ratio of 2, a weldline was formed under conventional injection molding, whereas no weldline was formed under injection-compression molding with a compression stroke of 0.3 mm. The flow patterns were in good agreement with the simulation results. The birefringence decreased as the compression stroke increased, and the birefringence produced by injection-compression molding was very low and more uniform compared with that produced by injection molding. In addition, the bulk birefringence of an assembly composed of four plastic lenses was significantly affected by the orientation of the lenses to be mounted.

최근 국지성 집중호우 및 돌발홍수와 같은 급격한 기상변화로 인한 기상재해의 발생빈도가 증가함에 따라 기존 지상 기상관측소로부터 얻어지는 직접탐측 자료보다는 기상레이더와 위성영상 등 원격탐측 자료를 사용한 수문분야의 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 기상레이더는 넓은 지역에 걸쳐 실시간으로 강수현상 감시가 가능하며 지상우량계로는 파악이 불가능한 미계측 유역을 통과하는 국지적인 호우현상이나 강우장의 이동 및 변화의 파악도 빠른 시간에 가능한 장점이 있다. 본 연구는 기상레이더 공간적 분포와 지상관측소(AWS 및 ASOS) 자료를 연계한 통계적 레이더 강수량 추정(Quantitative Precipitation Estimation, QPE)과 레이더 강수장을 직접 추적하는 강수장 예측(Quantitative Precipitation Forecast, QPF)를 연계한 해석방안을 수립하였으며, 모형 적용과정은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 강우장의 공간적인 이동을 고려하기 위해 강우장으로 부터 이류(advection)패턴을 추출하여 각 강우세포가 가지는 이동방향 및 이동속도를 고려한 강우장 추적기법을 통하여 2시간의 선행시간을 가지는 강우장을 예측하고자 한다. 둘째, 과거 기상레이더 이미지와 지상관측소의 강수 특성을 파악한 후 앞서 예측된 레이더강우장의 형태와 가장 유사한 과거 레이더강우장과 동일 시간대에 지상관측소 강수시계열을 시나리오 형태로 구축한다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 기상레이더 영상 이미지 상관분석 기법을 활용한 초단기강우예측은 집중호우시 홍수 예 경보를 위한 수문모형의 입력자료로 활용이 가능하다. 즉, 수문모형과 연계한 고해상도 단기홍수 예측기술 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 향후 실시간 재해 예 경보에 활용성을 평가하고자 한다.

최근 이상기상현상과 기후변화로 인하여 국지적인 집중호우의 빈도 및 규모가 증가하고 있으며, 이로 인한 돌발 홍수피해가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 홍수 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 정확도가 우수한 초단시간(1~2시간 이내) 예측 강우량 정보가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 집중호우에 대한 초단시간예보 및 실황 예측을 위해 시공간적으로 고해상도 자료를 제공할 수 있는 기상레이더 강우자료와 위성영상 자료를 결합하여 초단기 강수 예측기법 개발 연구를 수행하였다. 또한 기상레이더 강우량은 지상강우관측에 비해 정확성이 낮고, 많은 불확실성을 포함하고 있으므로, 위성영상에서 산출되는 강우자료와 결합하여 강우추정의 정확도를 개선하고자 하였다. 레이더 볼륨자료에서 반사도 자료를 추출하여, 1.5km CAPPI(Constant Altitude Plan Position Indicator) 자료를 생성하고, 반사도 CAPPI 자료의 패턴 상관분석을 통하여 강우시스템의 최적 이동벡터를 산출하였다. 또한 이동벡터를 고려하여 시공간적으로 외삽하여 강우이동 예측 모델을 개발하고, 초기자료로 레이더와 천리안 위성(Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite, COMS) 영상자료에서 생성되는 강우자료를 결합한 강수장 자료를 이용하여 강수 예측장을 생성하였다. 레이더-위성 결합 초단기 강우예측 모델의 정확성 검증을 위하여 2014년 8월 25일 부산 및 영남 지역에 발생한 집중호우 사례에 대하여 지상기상자동관측시스템(Automatic Weather System, AWS) 강우 측정 결과를 비교 분석 하였으며, 그 적용 가능성을 검증하였다. 초단기 강우예측 분석 결과 지상강우자료와의 오차가 발생하나, 추후 여러 통계적 후처리 과정을 통하여 그 성능이 개선될 것으로 보이며, 보다 정확한 강우량 예측을 위해서는 지속적인 알고리즘 개선 및 모형의 검 보정이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

기상재해를 극소화하기 위해서는 그 원인이 되는 기상현상의 규모와 거동을 명확히 감시하고 분석하여 신뢰성 있는 예측정보가 제공되어야 한다. 최근 위험기상 발생빈도가 증가하여 초단기 및 위험기상 예보의 정확도 향상을 위한 고품질 레이더 정보 활용 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 레이더는 전자파를 이용하여 강우의 양과 분포, 이동특성을 관측하는 장비로써 우리나라는 초단기적 위험기상 대응능력 향상을 추진하기 위한 목적으로 첨단 성능의 이중편파레이더 관측망을 구축하고 있다. 국내 기상관측용 레이더는 기상예보(기상청), 홍수예보(환경부), 군 작전 기상지원(국방부) 등으로 각 기관이 개별적으로 설치운영 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 관계부처에서 운영하고 있는 레이더의 합성장을 이용하여 강수장의 상관성을 기반으로 이류(advection) 특성을 도출하였다. 정확도 있는 이류특성을 도출하기 위하여 시간해상도는 10분을 적용하였으며 가우시안 필터링 기법을 적용하여 강수장 상관분석을 수행하였다. 호우와 태풍을 대상으로 강수장의 이류패턴을 추출하여 강수장의 이동방향 및 속도를 고려한 강수량 예측기법의 적용성을 평가하였다. 본 연구 결과는 격자형 강수예측정보를 제공하여 AI 홍수예보 및 수치예보 모델의 초기조건 입력 등에 활용되어 기후변동성에 따른 대국민 안전 실현을 확보하는데 기후변화 대응전략의 핵심기술로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 덧붙어, 4차 산업혁명에 따른 수문기상 빅 데이터(big data) 통합 플랫폼을 구축하여 고해상도 홍수대응 기술 및 GIS 및 모바일 시스템을 연계한 실시간 기후재해 예·경보가 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Synchrotron radiation (SR) has several advantages over convetional x-rays, including its phase, collimation, and high flux. A synchrotron radiation beamline 5C1 at Pohang Light Source (PLS) was recently built for imaging applications. We have shown that a SR imaging system is useful in imaging microscopic structures. SR with broad-band energy spectrum were adjusted to an object by Si wafers and their energy were approximately ranging from 6 keV to 30 keV. SR were passed through an object and finally transformed into visible lights by CdWO$_4$ scintillator screen. The visible lights which were reflected at an angle of 90 degrees by gold plated mirror were detected by a CCD camera and the image data were acquired using image acquisition system. A high-resolution phantom, capacitor, adult tooth, child tooth, cancerous breast tissue, and mouse lumbar vertebra were imaged with SR imaging system. The Objects were rotated within the field of view of the CCD detector, and their projection image data were obtained at 250 steps over 180 degrees rotation. Image reconstructions were carried out in a PC by using IDLTM(Research systems, Inc., US) program. The spatial resolution of the images acquired by the SR imaging system was measured with a high-resolution chart manufactured for several micrometer resolution. The specimens were also imaged with conventional x-ray radiography system to compare the image quality of radiography obtained with the SR imaging system. The results showed more structural details and high contrast images with SR imaging system than conventional x-ray radiography system. The SR imaging system may have a potential for imaging in biological researches, material applications, and clinical radiography.

The objective of this study is to evaluate TOPLATS land surface model performance through comparison of results of water and energy balance analysis. The study area is selected Nakdong river basin and high resolution hydrometeorological components of which spatio-temporal resolution is 1 hr and 1 km are simulated during 2003 to 2013. The simulated daily and monthly depth of flows are well fitted with the observed one on Andong and Hapcheon dam basin. In results of diurnally analysis of energy components, change pattern throughout the day of net radiation, latent heat, sensible heat, and ground heat under energy balance analysis have higher accuracy than ones under water balance analysis at C3 and C4 sites. Especially, root mean square errors of net radiation and latent heat at C4 site are shown very low as 22.18 $W/m^2$ and 7.27 $W/m^2$, respectively. Mean soil moisture and evapotranspiration in summer and winter are simulated as 36.80%, 33.08% and 222.40 mm, 59.95 mm, respectively. From this result, when we need high resolution hydrometeorological components, energy balance analysis is more reasonable than water balance analysis. And this results will be used for monitor and forecast of weather disaster like flood and draught using spatial hydrometeorological information.

This study adopts high resolution 3D X-ray CT imaging technique to visualize and evaluate the internal structure of experimentally frozen soils. Temperature and elastic wave velocity are also measured during the freezing process. The X-ray images of frozen specimens reveal that no changes in internal structure are observed for sand specimen, whereas systematic growth pattern of pore ice is observed within clay specimen. The freezing patterns are then quantified by a set of X-ray images with the aid of two-point correlation method by computing characteristic length Lr. The results reveal that characteristic length for pore ice freezing pattern in clay linearly increases with respect to the distance from the cooling source, so that Lr at the bottom layer is 2.5 times greater than the top layer when freezing process is completed. Furthermore, during the freezing process, local temperature differences are not observed in sand, but observed in clay specimen due to its relatively low thermal conductivity.

The properties of carbon nanotube-metal hybrid nanostructures are critically dependent on the structure and chemistry of the metal-carbon nanotube interface. In this study, the interface between nickel and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been investigated using physical vapor-deposited (sputter-deposited) nickel onto the surface of freestanding carbon nanotube arrays processed by nano-imprint lithography (NIL). These interfaces have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy and 3D atom probe tomography. In the nickel nanocrystals growing on the CNT surface, a metastable hexagonal $Ni_3C$-types phase appears to be stabilized. The structural stability of the nickel-CNT interface is also discussed and related to potential implications for the properties of these nanocomposites.
