Radiometric calibration is a fundamental step in ocean color remote sensing since the step to derive solar radiance spectrum in visible to near-infrared wavelengths from the sensor-observed electromagnetic signals. Generally, satellite sensor suffers from degradation over the mission period, which results in biases/uncertainties in radiometric calibration and the final ocean products such as water-leaving radiance, chlorophyll-a concentration, and colored dissolved organic matter. Therefore, the importance of radiometric calibration for the continuity of ocean color satellites has been emphasized internationally. This study introduces an approach to improve the radiometric calibration algorithm for the visible bands of the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager-II (GOCI-II) satellite with a focus on stability. Solar Diffuser (SD) measurements were employed as an on-orbit radiometric calibration reference, to obtain the continuous monitoring of absolute gain values. Time series analysis of GOCI-II absolute gains revealed seasonal variations depending on the azimuth angle, as well as long-term trends by possible sensor degradation effects. To resolve the complexities in gain variability, an azimuth angle correction model was developed to eliminate seasonal periodicity, and a sensor degradation correction model was applied to estimate nonlinear trends in the absolute gain parameters. The results demonstrate the effects of the azimuth angle correction and sensor degradation correction model on the spectrum of Top of Atmosphere (TOA) radiance, confirming the capability for improving the long-term stability of GOCI-II data.

본 연구에서는 비구면 반사경의 형상오차를 3가지 방법으로 측정, 비교하였다. 실험에 사용한 포물면 반사경의 구경은 108 mm, 유효초점거리는 444.5 mm 이다. 첫 번째로 접촉식 형상측정방식인 FTS(Form TalySurf)를 이용하여 표면 거칠기와 반사경의 최적 곡률 반경(BestFitt Radius) 값을 측정하였다. 두 번째로는 비접촉식 형상측정방식인 UA3P(Ultrahigh Accurate 3-D Profilometer)를 이용하여 반사경의 형상 정밀도를 측정하였다. UA3P를 이용할 경우 반사경의 전체 형상을 측정할 수 있다. 세번째로 Shark-Hartmann 센서를 이용한 광학측정방법으로 반사경의 형상 정밀도를 측정하였다. 측정에 필요한 레이저 광학계는 레이저, 콜리메이터, 핀홀, 카메라 렌즈 및 비구면 광학계를 이용하여 설계하였다. 본 연구에서 도출한 각 측정 방법의 신뢰도를 바탕으로 간섭계 사용에 제약이 있는 자유형상곡면의 반사경 표면의 형상오차 측정에 적용할 계획이다.

It is important to secure the driver's external field view in armored vehicles surrounded by iron armor for preparation for the enemy's firepower. For this purpose, a 360 degree rotatable surveillance camera is mounted on the vehicle. In this case, the key idea is to recognize the head of the driver wearing a helmet so that the external camera rotated in exactly the same direction. In this paper, we introduce a method that uses a MEMS-based AHRS sensor and a illuminance sensor to compensate for the disadvantages of the existing optical method and implements it with low cost. The key idea is to set the direction of the camera by using the difference between the Euler angles detected by two sensors mounted on the camera and the helmet, and to adjust the direction with illuminance sensor from time to time to remove the drift error of sensors. The implemented prototype will show the camera's direction matches exactly in driver's one.

With a striking increase in the level of contamination and subsequent degradations in the environment, detection and monitoring of contaminants in various sites has become a crucial mission in current society. In this review, we have summarized the current research areas in membrane-based colorimetric sensors for trace detection of various molecules. The researches covered in this summary utilize membranes composed of cellulose fibers as sensing platforms and metal nanoparticles or fluorophores as optical reagents. Displaying decent or excellent sensitivity, most of the developed sensors achieve a significant selectivity in the presence of interfering ions. The physical and chemical properties of cellulose membrane platforms can be customized by changing the synthesis method or type of optical reagent used, allowing a wide range of applications possible. Membrane-based sensors are also portable and have great mechanical properties, which enable on-site detection of contaminants. With such superior qualities, membrane-based sensors examined in the researches were used for versatile purposes including quantification of heavy metals in drinking water, trace detection of toxic antibiotics and heavy metals in environmental water samples. Some of the sensors exhibited additional features like antimicrobial ability and recyclability. Lastly, while most of the sensors aimed for a detection enabled by naked eyes through rapid colour change, many of them investigated further detection methods like fluorescence, UV-vis spectroscopy, and RGB colour intensity.

We propose the use of the Gaussian-curve fitting algorithm for the improvement of measurement accuracy in wavelengthscanned Fabry-Perot filter based demodulation systems. The peak locations of FBG sensors were calculated from the fitted curves rather than from distorted PD profiles, resulting in much better measurement accuracy than that of the highest-peak search algorithm. Also, the algorithm was proved to minimize measurement uncertainty of spectrally-distorted grating sensors. From our experimental results, a temperature resolution as small as ${\sim}0.3^{\circ}C$ was readily achieved by use of the Gaussian-curve fitting algorithm whereas the highest-peak search algorithm gave a temperature resolution larger than ${\sim}4^{\circ}C$.

We develop a fiber optic acceleration sensor with LED, PD, POF, and a cantilever beam, having film grating at the edge of the beam. Light is transmitted from LED to PD through the film grating. When the cantilever beam moves by external vibration, output light is modulated as sinusoidal signals. The characteristics of output signals are dominated by the spacing of the film grating and also by the size and the elasticity of the beam. Two output signals, having constant initial phase difference, are obtained by two gratings with 90 degree phase difference. Those two signals are used to determine phase angle, which is proportional to the displacement of the beam. Finally, the acceleration is determined from conversion equation between displacement and acceleration. This sensor is designed for monitoring the vibration of large and complex building in the low frequency range of below 7 Hz, and is particularly suitable to measure acceleration in electromagnetic environments.

Absolute optical angle sensor is described that is an essentially digital opto-electronic device. Its purpose is to resolve the relative and absolute angle position of coded disk using Pseudorandom-code and Geometry-code. In this technique, the angular position of disk is determined in coarse sense first by Pseudorandom-code. A further fine angular position data based on Pixel count is obtained by Geometry-code which result 0.006$^{\circ}$ resolution of the system provided that 7 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ line image sensor are used. The proposed technique is novel in a number of aspects, such that it has the non-contact reflective nature, high resolution of the system, relatively simple code pattern, and inherent digital nature of the sensor. And what is more the system can be easily modified to torque sensor by applying two coded disks in a manner that observe the difference in absolute angular displacement. The digital opto-electronic nature of the proposed sensor, along with its reporting of both torque and angle, makes the system ideal for use in intelligent vehicle systems. In this communication, we propose a technique that utilizes Pseudorandom-code and Geometry-code to determine accurate angular position of coded disk. We present the experimental results to demonstrate the validity of the idea.

본 연구에서는 광학센서를 이용한 벼 군락의 질소수준별 생육단계별 식생지수와 쌀 단백질함량과의 관계를 구명하여 쌀 단백질함량을 추정하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 질소의 경우 0, 7, 10, 13kg/10a등 4수준으로 범위를 두고 처리하여 인공광원을 사용하는 2종의 능동형 광학(G)NDVI 센서를 이용하여 벼 군락의 반사특성을 측정하였고, 동시에 식물체의 생육량, 엽면적지수, 엽 질소함량 등을 분석하였다. 생육단계에 따른 식생지수 변화를 분석해 본 결과 (G)NDVI값은 이앙기 이후 급속히 증가하다가 수잉기 전후로 수확기에 이르기까지 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 질소 수준에 따른 식생지수 변화의 경우 무처리구를 제외하고는 처리수준별 G(NDVI)값이 큰 변이가 나타나지는 않았지만, 처리 수준에 따라 일정하게 식생지수 차이를 보였다. (G)NDVI값 과 엽질소 함량과의 시기별 상관분석 결과 유효분얼기, 유수형성기 보다는 출수기, 결실기에 엽 질소 함량과의 상관이 더 높게 나타났고, GNDVI값이 NDVI값보다 상관이 더 높게 나타났다. 출수 후 쌀 단백질 함량과 엽 질소 함량과의 관계를 조사해보았는데 높은 정의 상관관계($r=0.96^{**}$)를 보였다. 출수기에서 수확기까지 자료를 이용한 각 시기별 G(NDVI)값과 쌀 단백질 함량과의 상관분석 결과 수확기에 가까울수록 상관계수가 높게 나타났다. GNDVI값을 이용한 수확기 쌀 단백질 함량 추정식($R^2=0.92$)을 작성하였고, 쌀 단백질 함량 추정값과 실측값을 비교해보았더니 1:1선에 근접하게 분포하였다($R^2=0.90$).

A location tracking sensor such as GPS, INS, Radar, and optical equipments is used in tracking Maneuvering Targets with a multi-sensor, and such systems are used to track, detect, and control UAV, guided missile, and spaceship. Until now, Most of the studies related to tracking Maneuvering Targets are on fusing multiple Radars, or adding a supplementary sensor to INS and GPS. However, A study is required to change the degree of application in fusions since the system property and error property are different from sensors. In this paper, we perform the error analysis of the sensor properties by adding a ground radar to GPS and INS for improving the tracking performance by multi-sensor fusion, and suggest the tracking algorithm that improves the precision and stability by changing the sensor probability of each sensor according to the error. For evaluation, we extract the altitude values in a simulation for the trajectory of UAV and apply the suggested algorithm to carry out the performance analysis. In this study, we change the weight of the evaluated values according to the degree of error between the navigation information of each sensor to improve the precision of navigation information, and made it possible to have a strong tracking which is not affected by external purposed environmental change and disturbance.

The display technology on the retina is the key role in inspecting the condition of the patients. 2-dimensional retina image is widely used in the eye examination as of today. Recently, 3-dimensional retina image ones have been introduced to this area, but the quality of the image is not fully satisfied to the operator. For the purpose of developing 3-D retina imaging instrument, the optimization of a 3-D retina imaging system using Code-V tool was investigated in this thesis. He-Ne laser having the wavelength 632.8 nm was used to make a power source to detect the retina. Several lenses and mirrors installed on sledge which were developed to perform focus control on 3-D device were designed to make a beam focusing and direct line. Polygon scanner having 24 mirror facets and galvanometer making tilting movement were utilized to make a 2-D laser plane. Also, design of eye ball had been fulfilled to see the focus of the 2-D plane. Reflected ray from retina detected on the sensor array with the same path. All cognitive components were optimized for aberration correction in order to focus on retina. Results of optimization were compared to those of initial designed optics system. On the basis of above results, the result of third aberration has been corrected to stable values to the optical system. MTF evaluating the resolution of an image has been closely correlated to the diffraction limit and PSF indicating the strength distribution of an image has shown the SR value as 0.9998 having high performance. The possibility of new and powerful 3-D retina image instrument was verified by simulating each component of the instrument by Code-V.
