We fabricated a polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) cell using LC with negative dielectric anisotropy and UV curable monomer exhibiting transparent state initially (called normally transparent (NT)) and studied the electro-optic characteristics. The NT PDLC cell made with the ratio of LC : monomer = 70/30 wt%, curing temperature of 20 $^{\circ}C$ and strong UV intensity of 198 ㎽/$\textrm{cm}^2$ had high contrast ratio and showed good electro-optic characteristics. In this condition, LC is aligned vertically on the substrate due to the vertical alignment layer and the polymer made with the UV exposure does not influence the alignment of the LC much. Therefore, the transmittance at the zero voltage is very high and the scattering state of the cell is good after applying the voltage because LC with negative dielectric anisotropy tries to align perpendicular to the field. And also, the NT PDLC cell showed better viewing angle characteristics than that in the normally scattering (NS) PDLC.

With the recent development and increasing importance of personal identification systems, biometric technologies with less risk of loss or unauthorized use are being popularized rapidly. In particular, because of their high identification rate and convenience, fingerprint identification systems are being used much more commonly than other biometric systems such as iris recognition, face recognition and vein pattern recognition. However, a fingerprint identification system has the problem that artificially forged finger-prints can be used as input data. Thus, in order to solve this problem, the present study proposed a method for detecting forged fingerprints by measuring the degree of attenuation when the light from an optical fingerprint sensor passes through the finger and analyzing changes in the transmission of light over stages at fixed intervals. In order to prove improvement in the performance of the proposed system, we conducted an experiment that compared the system with an existing multi-sensor recognition system that measures also the temperature of fingerprint. According to the results of the experiment, the proposed system improved the forged fingerprint detection rate by around 32.6% and this suggests the possibility of solving the security problem in fingerprint identification systems.

In computer vision analysis of detecting concrete slab surface cracks, there are many difficulties to overcome. Target images often have defamations due to the light condition and other external environment. Another difficulties in detecting concrete crack image is that there is no clear distinction in intensity between the crack and the surface since the surface is often irregular. In this paper, we apply ART2 based quantization in order to classify target concrete slab surface images into several areas with respect to the light intensity. From those quantized areas, we investigate the distribution of real cracks and noises. Then, we extract candidate crack areas after applying noise removal process to areas which have be th oracle and noises. Finally, crack areas are recognized by using morphological features of cracks from such candidate areas. In experiment with real world concrete slab structure images, our algorithm has advantage in recognizing accuracy of cracks to other algorithms especially in relatively brighter areas of concrete surface.

최근 기후변화로 빈번하게 발생하는 국지성 집중호우로 인해 홍수 피해가 증가하고 있으며, 이에 따라 유량 계측 자료의 필요성이 더욱 증대되고 있다. 현재까지 하천의 홍수 유량측정은 대부분 부자법에 의해 수행되어 왔지만, 측정 작업의 위험성이나 측정 정확도에 대해 여러 문제점이 지적되고 있다. 이에 비접촉식 측정 방법으로 안전하고 측정방식이 간편하며 높은 정확도를 갖춘 표면영상유속측정법(Surface Image Velocimetry, SIV)에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 다만 표면영상유속측정법의 경우 질 좋은 영상 촬영을 위해 밝은 빛이 필요하고, 일반적으로 매우 작은 규모의 하천을 제외하고는 영상 획득이 어렵다는 한계가 있다. 이와 같은 문제들을 해결하기 위해 최근 류권규 등(2015)은 영상 획득 장비로 원적외선 카메라의 적용성을 검토한 바 있다. 원적외선 카메라의 경우 별도의 조명을 필요로 하지 않기 때문에 주야간 구분 없이 사용 가능하다는 장점이 있으며 실제 하천에서 홍수와 함께 발생하는 안개의 영향 또한 받지 않아 고정식으로 설치하여 하천 유량측정 시스템을 구성하는 좋은 대안이 될 수 있음을 강조하였다. 다만, 원적외선 카메라는 야간에 적용시 주간과 비교하여 수표면의 움직임이 느리게 분석되는 경향이 있다고 하였다. 실험 결과를 보면, 소형 프로펠러 유속계로 측정한 수표면의 유속값에 비교하여 일반 캠코더 영상으로 산정한 유속 산정 결과의 상대오차는 최대 -10%인 반면, 원적외선 카메라 영상으로 산정한 유속 산정 결과의 오차는 -9%에서 -19%(주간), -10% 에서 -23%까지의 오차 범위를 나타내는 등 일반 캠코더에 비해 원적외선 카메라의 정확도가 다소 떨어지는 결과를 나타냈으며, 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 원적외선 영상의 명암값 분포 차이를 해결하기 위해 영상 처리 기법에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것이라고 하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 원적외선 영상에 대한 다양한 영상 개선을 통해 표면영상유속계의 유속 측정 정확도를 높이고자 하였다. 이를 위해 우선, 적정 해상도와 시간간격을 제시하였으며, 영상의 색 보정과 영상 강화 등의 영상 개선을 통해 원적외선 영상을 이용한 유속 산정 정확도를 향상하였고, 마지막으로 다양한 야간 하천 흐름 조건에 적용하여 원적외선 영상을 활용한 표면영상유속계의 유속 측정 정확도를 높이고자 하였다.

표면영상유속측정법은 영상을 이용한 비접촉식 유속 측정 방법으로 카메라 외에 별도로 고가의 장비를 구매할 필요가 없을 뿐 아니라 현장 상황을 영상으로 확인할 수 있기 때문에 현장조사인력이 필요 없어 경제적이고, 안전하다는 장점을 갖고 있는 하천 유속 측정 방법이다. 표면영상유속측정법은 일반적으로 상호상관법을 이용하여 수표면을 촬영한 연속된 두 영상에서 입자군의 명암값 분포를 계산하여 입자군의 변위를 계산하고 이를 두 영상 사이의 시간 간격으로 나누어 입자군의 이동 속도를 산정하는 방법이다. 따라서 표면영상유속측정법으로 산정한 유속의 정확도를 높이기 위해서는 영상 내 두 입자군의 변위를 정확하게 계산하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 즉, 분석하고자 하는 영상의 물리거리를 정확하게 계산할 수 있어야 한다. 카메라를 이용하여 실제 하천 영상을 촬영한 영상은 카메라 렌즈에 의한 왜곡이 필연적으로 발생하게 되고 이는 영상 내의 변위 산정 시에도 영향을 미친다. 특히 드론을 활용하여 넓은 하천 영역을 촬영할 경우 카메라 렌즈에 의한 왜곡은 실제 물리 변위 계산 정확도에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 카메라 왜곡이 영상 내 변위 산정 결과의 정확도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구 결과 카메라 렌즈 왜곡은 영상 중심에서 방사방향으로 점점 크게 발생하고 왜곡 정도는 비선형적으로 나타났으며, 변위 측정 오차는 영상의 중앙부에서는 거의 차이가 없었으며, 영상 외곽부에서 최대 오차가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 카메라 렌즈 왜곡 보정을 실시하게 되면 영상 전체적으로 변위측정 오차는 모두 제거할 수 있는 것으로 확인하였다. 따라서 카메라 렌즈 왜곡 보정을 실시하여 표면영상유속 측정 결과의 정확도를 개선할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 카메라 렌즈 왜곡 보정을 실시한다면 하천의 표면유속을 보다 정확하게 측정할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

We have successfully developed a more effective algorithm to extract the lineament in the area covered by wide alluvial deposits characterized by a relatively narrow range of brightness in the Landsat TM image, while the currently used algorithm is limited to the mountainous areas. In the new algorithm, flat areas mainly consisting of alluvial deposits were selected using the Local Enhancement from the Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The aspect values were obtained by 3${\times}$3 moving windowing of Zevenbergen & Thorno's Method, and then the slopes of the study area were determined using the aspect values. After the lineament factors in the alluvial deposits were revealed by comparing the threshold values, the first rank lineament under the alluvial deposits were extracted using the Hough transform In order to extract the final lineament, the lowest points under the alluvial deposits in a given topographic section perpendicular to the first rank lineament were determined through the spline interpolation, and then the final lineament were chosen through Hough transform using the lowest points. The algorithm developed in this study enables us to observe a clearer lineament in the areas covered by much larger alluvial deposits compared with the results extracted using the conventional existing algorithm. There exists, however, some differences between the first rank lineament, obtained using the aspect and the slope, and the final lineament. This study shows that the new algorithm more effectively extracts the lineament in the area covered with wide alluvlal deposits than in the areas of converging slope, areas with narrow alluvial deposits or valleys.

This paper presents a characterization method for faults of circuit patterns on MCM(Multichip Module) or PCB(Printed Circuit Board) substrates with electron beams of a SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) by inducing voltage contrast on the signal line. The experimentation employes dual potential electron beams for the fault characterization of circuit patterns with a commercial SEM without modifying its structure. The testing procedure utilizes only one electron gun for the generation of dual potential electron beams by two different accelerating voltages, one for charging electron beam which introduces the yield of secondary electron $\delta$ < 1 and the other for reading beam which introduces $\delta$ > 1. Reading beam can read open's/short's of a specific net among many test nets, simultaneously discharging during the reading process for the next step, by removing its voltage contrast. The experimental results of testing the copper signal lines on glass-epoxy substrates showed that the state of open's/short's had generated the brightness contrast due to the voltage contrast on the surface of copper conductor line, when the net had charged with charging electron beams of 7KV accelerating voltages and then read with scanning reading electron beams of 2KV accelerating voltages in 10 seconds. The experimental results with Au pads of a IC die and Au plated Cu pads of BGA substrates provided the simple test method of circuit lines with 7KV charging electron beam and 2KV reading beam. Thus the characterization method showed that we can test open and short circuits of the net nondestructively by using dual potential electron beams with one SEM gun.

We aimed to improve the flavor quality of plain yogurt, which is known to be sour and less desirable in flavor, varying concentrations of a buckwheat saccharification solution (BSS) were added to milk, followed by fermentation with commercially available mixed strains of lactic acid bacteria. Volatile compounds were analyzed using the gas chromatography-headspace-solid phase microextraction (GC-HS-SPME) method. Fermentation properties, including pH, titratable acidity, viable cells, viscosity, and color value were also measured. Eleven volatile compounds were identified with GC-MS. Of which, diacetyl, butanoic acid, and 2-heptanone proportionally increased as the levels of BSS increased. Undesirable compounds such as acetic acid and 2-butanone, decreased as BSS concentration increased. Fermentation properties were significantly altered with the addition of BSS. Our findings indicate that the flavor quality of plain yogurt can be improved by adding BSS for fermentation, with an additional health benefit from buckwheat.

In order to classify a target image in a cluster of images, the difference in brightness between the object and the background is mainly concerned, which is not easy to classify if the shape of the object is blurred and the sharpness is low. However, there are a few studies attempted to solve these problems, and there is still the problem of not properly distinguishing between wrong pattern and right pattern images when applied to actual data analysis. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that classifies 3D films into sharp and blurry using the width of the pixel values histogram. This algorithm determines the width of the right and wrong images based on the width of the pixel distributions. The larger the width histogram, the sharp the image, while the shorter the width histogram the blurry the image. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm reflects that the characteristics of these histograms allows classification of all wrong images and right images. To determine the reliability and validity of the proposed algorithm, we compare the results with the other obtained from preprocessed 3D films. We then trained the 3D films using few-shot learning algorithm for accurate classification. The experiments verify that the proposed algorithm can perform higher without complicated computations.
