Hitherto, spatial resolution has commonly been evaluated by test patterns or phantoms built on some specific distances (from close to far) between two objects (or double targets). This evaluation method's shortcoming is that resolution is restricted to target distances of phantoms made for test. Therefore, in order to solve the problem, this study proposes and verifies a new method to efficiently test spatial resolution with a single target. For the research I used PSF and JND to propose an idea to measure spatial resolution. After that, I made experiments by commonly used phantoms to verify my new evaluation hypothesis inferred from the above method. To analyse the hypothesis, I used LabVIEW program and got a line pixel from digital image. The result was identical to my spatial-resolution hypothesis inferred from a single target. The findings of the experiment proves only a single target can be enough to relatively evaluate spatial resolution on a digital image. In other words, the limit of the traditional spatial-resolution evaluation method, based on double targets, can be overcome by my new evaluation one using a single target.

단일 센서 기반의 표적 탐지 문제에서 센서의 한계 요소에 의해 탐지 성능이 제한된다. 따라서, 최근 단일 센서 기반의 표적 탐지 성능을 향상시키기 위한 방안으로 각 센서의 강점을 효과적으로 융합하는 다중 센서 정보 융합 기반의 표적 탐지 기법에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 센서 정보 융합을 위해서는 각 센서별 영상 획득, 각 영상의 기하학적 정합, 센서 정보 융합 기반의 표적 탐지 기술이 필요하며, 본 논문에서는 이에 대한 기술 및 개발 동향을 소개한다.

In active sonar system, clutters degrade performance of target detection/tracking and overwhelm sonar operators in ASW (Antisubmarine Warfare). Conventional clutter reduction algorithms using consistency of local peaks are studied in multi-ping data and tracking filter research for active sonar was conducted. However these algorithms cannot classify target and clutters in single ping data. This paper suggests a single ping clutter reduction approach to reduce clutters in mid-frequency active sonar system using echo shape features. The algorithm performance test is conducted using real sea-trial data in heavy clutter density environment. It is confirmed that the number of clutters was reduced by about 80 % over the conventional algorithm while retaining the detection of target.

In this paper, the techniques for target state analysis based on a single ping in the ocean environment are proposed and discussed. The first method utilizes the relationship between range and bearing in order to determine the aspect angle of target. The second method uses the Range-Doppler Map. The former method requires the multi-channel data, while the latter uses single channel data. It is concluded, from the simulation, that the target state analysis is quite possible and the techniques mentioned should be used simultaneously to get the improved results.

Image segmentation is one of the difficult research problems in machine vision and pattern recognition field. A commonly used segmentation method is the Otsu method. It is simpler and easier to implement but it fails if the histogram is unimodal or similar to unimodal. And if some target area is smaller than background object, then its histogram has the distribution close to unimodal. In this paper, we proposed an improved image segmentation method based on 1D Otsu method for a small target detection. To overcome drawbacks by unimodal histogram effect, we depressed the background histogram using a logarithm function. And to improve a signal to noise ratio, we used a local average value by the neighbor window for thresholding using 1D Otsu method. The experimental results show that our proposed algorithm performs better segmentation result than a traditional 1D Otsu method, and needs much less computational time than that of the 2D Otsu method.

Since the range and Doppler resolution of the synthetic aperture radar(SAR) image becomes very high, the target detection accuracy can be significantly increased, but the computational burden is also increased. The conventional single-cell based CFAR detector performs the target detection on every single cell basis, thus it causes the serious increment of the computational load. In this paper, the improved two-step MCA-CFAR detector is proposed for the improvement of the target detection as well as the reduction of computational load: the first step is to use the MCA-CFAR, and the second step is to use the single-cell based CFAR detection in the expected target area for final decision. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with the conventional single-cell based CFAR and MCA-CFAR on SAR images.

본 논문에서는 화행처리를 기반으로 한 중고자동차 매매 영역 대화시스템 구축 과정에서 활용한 자연언어 대화체 발화의 언표적 행위와 언표내적 행위 간의 관계를 살펴보고자 한다. 하나의 언표적 행위는 여러 상이한 언표내적 행위를 수행할 수 있으며 또 역으로 여러 언표적 행위가 동일한 언표내적 행위를 구성하기도 한다. 이처럼 언표적 행위와 언표내적 행위 간에는 획일적이고 일률적인 상관관계를 설정하기가 어렵다. 그럼에도 불구하고 대화에 나타나는 발화들은 어떤 행위를 구성하는 경향이 강하고 이 행위들은 각 발화의 언표내적 행위로 결정되며 단일 발화들이 모여서 이루는 대화에는 화행의 흐름이 있기 마련이다. 따라서 우리는 본 논문에서 대화시스템의 효율적인 대화관리를 위해서 실제 자연언어 발화와 그에 따른 언표적 행위, 언표내적 행위를 올바로 분석하고 그 관계를 규명하여 대화를 자연스럽게 유도하도록 한다.

This paper improves Sherman's two-pulse method for angle estimation of two unresolved targets in phase comparison monopulse radar. The proposed method provides the angle information with only a single-pulse measurement instead of two pulses. The proposed method can estimate a single-target angle by single-target indicator, in contrast with previous techniques. The accuracy of angle estimation for proposed method is demonstrated by simulations.

In this paper, we proposed airborne target recognition using multi-channel combining method in DTV-based passive radar. By combining multi-channel signals, we obtained the HRRP with sufficient range resolution. HRRP was obtained by AR method or zero-padding. From the obtained HRRP, we extracted scattering centers by CLEAN algorithm using the gradient descent. We extracted feature vectors and performed target recognition after training neural network using the extracted feature vectors. To verify performance of proposed methods, we assumed frequency bands of three broadcasting transmitters operated in Korea(Mt. Gwan-ak, Mt. Yong-moon, Kyeon-wol-ak) and used full scale 3D CAD model of four targets. Also we compared the target recognition performance of the proposed method with that of using only single-channel of three broadcasting transmitters. As a result, proposed methods showed better performance than using only single-channel at three broadcasting transmitters.

In this paper, we propose a method for recognizing ground target using dual polarization channels in millimeter waveband air-to-surface radar. First, the Push-Broom target detection method is described and the received signal is modeled considering flight-path scenario of air-to-surface radar. The scattering centers were extracted using the RELAX algorithm, which is a time domain spectral estimation technique, and the feature vector of the target was generated. Based on this, a DB for 4 targets is constructed. As a result of the proposed method, it is confirmed that the target classification rates is improved by more than 15% than the single channel using the data of the dual polarization channel.
