This study was performed to estimate fatigue life of polymer-modified and reinforced overlay asphalt mixtures with respect to reflection cracking in asphalt overlay pavement. In order to achieve the goal, the expedited reflection cracking test method was developed and applied to various mixtures and the results were compared one another with respect to the resistant characteristics of reflection cracking. The theoretical prediction equation of fatigue life for each mixture was suggested based on statistical analysis of experimental test results in the flexural failure mode. Since coefficients of correlation between estimated values and measured values were very high ($r^2=0.95$ or higher), the prediction model can be used for relative comparison of various pavement overlay choices to be used in the field.

Antireflection coatings on optical lenses commertially available in domestic market are optically analyzed. Transmission spectra and reflection spectra are collected using spectrophotometers. The apparent absorption spectra around the absorption band edge are dominated by the substrate absorption. The reflection spectra and the apparent absorption spectra at visible region between 400nm and 700nm show very strong correlation to each other except a couple samples. The discrepency observed in the latters are due to an increased absorption in visible region by the substrate, which is negative effect of these samples. An antireflection coating consisted of $SiO_2/TiO_2/SiO_2/ZrO_2/Cr$ is made on c-Si substrate for spectroscopic ellispometry analysis. A film-by-film coating is accomplished and between each film deposition, ex-situ spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements are made. The analysis of the spectroscopic ellipsometry data reveals that the average film densities of $ZrO_2$ and $TiO_2$ reach only 80% of their respective packing densities and thick films are inhomogeneous along film growth direction. Discussions are made toward in-situ, real-time monitoring of the film growth so that a real-time feedback is possible to achieve a post-correction to minor deviations occured in the previous step. step.

태양전지의 효율을 증가시키기 위해서는 표면에서의 Fresnel 반사를 줄여 입사된 빛이 흡수층까지 잘 도달되도록 해야 한다. 그러나 결정질 실리콘의 경우, 굴절률이 높아 32% 이상의 표면반사율을 보이고 있어, 실리콘 태양전지 표면에 단일 또는 다중 박막의 무반사 코팅을 통해 반사율을 낮추는 방법이 널리 사용 되어 오고 있었다. 하지만, 이와 같은 코팅 방법은 열적팽창 불일치, 물질 선택의 어려움뿐만 아니라 낮은 반사율을 포함하는 파장 및 빛의 입사각 영역의 제한 등 여러 문제점을 지니고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위해, 표면에 서브파장의 주기를 갖는 나노구조(subwavelength structure, SWS)의 형성에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 습식 식각보다 건식 식각을 이용한 SWS 제작 방법이 표면 profile을 제어하기 용이하나 패턴 형성을 위해 식각 마스크가 필요하다. 최근, 복잡하고 고가의 전자빔 또는 나노임프린트를 이용한 패턴 형성보다, 간단/저렴하며 대면적 제작이 용이한 금속 나노입자 마스크를 이용한 SWS의 제작에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 또한 SWS의 무반사 특성은 표면 profile에 따라 크게 영향을 받는다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 열적 응집현상에 의해 형성되는 self-assembled Pt 나노입자 식각 마스크 및 $SiCl_4$가스를 사용한 유도결합 플라즈마(inductively coupled plasma, ICP) 장비를 이용하여 무반사 실리콘 SWS를 제작하였으며, SWS 표면 profile에 따른 구조적 및 무반사 특성을 조사하기 위해 다양한 공정조건을 변화시켰다. 실리콘 기판 위의 Pt 박막은 전자빔 증착(e-beaml evaporation)법을 사용하였고, 급속 열처리(RTA)를 통해 Pt 나노입자의 식각 마스크를 형성시켰다. Pt 나노입자들의 패턴 및 제작된 무반사 실리콘 SWS의 식각 profile은 scanning electron microscope를 사용하여 관찰하였으며, UV-VIR-NIR spectrophotometer를 사용하여 350~1050 nm 파장 영역에서의 반사율을 측정하였다. ICP 식각 조건을 변화시켜 5% 이하의 낮은 반사율을 갖는 높이가 높고 쐐기 형태의 실리콘 SWS를 도출하였다.

Airbone laser altimeters have been utilized for 3D topographic mapping of the earth, moon, and planets with high resolution and accuracy, which is a rapidly growing remote sensing technique that measures the round-trip time emitted laser pulse to determine the topography. The traveling time from the laser scanner to the Earth's surface and back is directly related to the distance of the sensor to the ground. When there are several objects within the travel path of the laser pulse, the reflected laser pluses are distorted by surface variation within the footprint, generating multiple echoes because each target transforms the emitted pulse. The shapes of the received waveforms also contain important information about surface roughness, slope and reflectivity. Waveform processing algorithms parameterize and model the return signal resulting from the interaction of the transmitted laser pulse with the surface. Each of the multiple targets within the footprint can be identified. Assuming each response is gaussian, returns are modeled as a mixture gaussian distribution. Then, the parameters of the model are estimated by LMS Method or EM algorithm However, each response actually shows the skewness in the right side with the slowly decaying tail. For the application to require more accurate analysis, the tail information is to be quantified by an approach to decompose the tail. One method to handle with this problem is proposed in this study.

This paper presents the matching method of reflectors for localization of laser navigation. The laser navigation is a device that measures distance and angle of reflector. The conventional major matching using the laser navigation is method that moves position of measured reflectors to position of installed reflectors and than rotate moved reflectors. However, it is difficult to use the industry because it has high computational complexity and high errors. To solve those problem, The proposed matching is method that create position of measured reflectors to assume that the position of installed reflectors is position of AGV and than rotate the position of installed reflectors. For experiment, we used AGV which was designed by ourselves, and compared positioning accuracy when AGV moves according to varying steering angle and driving speed.

재료의 광학적 특성을 변화시키기 위한 표면 코팅의 사용을 잘 알려져 있다. 그리고 이러한 광학 코팅은 우리가 주위에서 볼 수 있는 렌즈에서부터 레이저반사경 다 나아가 다양한 광학 필터에 이르기까지 빛의 간섭을 이용한 광학 박막의 코팅은 폭넓게 이용되고 있다. 그러한 응용가운데 불필요한 표면 반사를 방지함으로써 전체 투과율을 강화시키기 위한 무반사(Anti-Reflection) 코팅은 오늘날 광대역 무반사 특성 등 다양한 광학적 요구에 따라 하나 또는 그 이상의 층을 형성함으로써 극적으로 성취할 수 있다. 본 실험은 기존 많이 활용되는 증발법 그리고 스퍼터링 방법과는 달리 고진공하에서 증착 변수를 효과적으로 제어, 박막을 형성할 수 있는 자체 제작된 단일 IBS(Ion Beam Sputtering) 시스템을 이용하여 우수한 광학적 특성을 갖는 광학 재료로써 무반사용 다층박막 형성하기 앞서 MgF2, ZrO2 (yttria stabilized zirconia) 단층 박막을 제조하였으며, 각 증착 변수에 따른 결정학적 및 광학적 특성을 관찰하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 제조 장비로 Kaufman type 2.5inch의 이온 건이 장착된 Ion Beam sputtering 시스템으로 초기 진공도는 5$\times$10-6orr이며, 이온 빔의 전류 밀도는 Fareday cup을 이용했다. 6inch 크기의 ZrO2(yttria stabilized zirconia), MgF2 타겟트를 이용하여 Si(100), glass 기판위에 박막을 성장시켰다. 각 타겟트에 대한 증착변수로 이온 에너지, 기판온도, Ar 가스량을 변화시키면서 박막을 제조하였다. 제조된 박막의 광학적 특성으로 가시 영역에서 투과율의 변화는 자외/가시광선 분광 분석기 (UV/VIS specrophotometer)를 이용하여 측정했다. 그리고 박막의 조성 및 결정학적 구조는 AES EDS와 XRD로 확인하였다. 이온 빔 전압 500V, 빔 저류 55mA일 때 온도는 상온에서 30$0^{\circ}C$까지 승온 후 MgF2 박막의 XRD분석결과 우세한 결정성을 관찰할 수 없었으며, 이 때의 광 투과도는 가시영역에서 80~90%의 값으로 측정되었다. 추후 증착된 막의 결정성을 위해 열처리를 실시하고, 각 증착조건에 대한 결과는 학회 발표시 보고한다.

With the launch of Compact Advanced Satellite 500 series of various characteristics and the operation of KOMPSAT-3/3A, uses of high-resolution satellite images have been continuously increased. Especially, in order to provide satellite images in the form of ARD (Analysis Ready Data), various pre-processing such as geometric correction and radiometric correction have been developed. For pre-processing of high spatial satellite imagery, auxiliary information, such as solar zenith, solar azimuth and offnadir angle, should be required. However, most of the high-resolution satellite images provide the solar zenith and nadir angle for the entire image as a single variable. In this paper, the solar zenith and offnadir angle corresponding to each pixel of the image were calculated using RFM (Rational Function Model) and auxiliary information of the image, and the quality of extracted information were evaluated. In particular, for the utilization of pixel-based solar zenith and offnadir angle, pixel-based auxiliary data were applied in calculating the top of atmospheric reflectance, and comparative evaluation with a single constant-based top of atmospheric reflectance was performed. In the experiments using various satellite imagery, the pixel-based solar zenith and offnadir angle information showed a similar tendency to the auxiliary information of satellite sensor, and it was confirmed that the distortion was reduced in the calculated reflectance in the top of atmospheric reflectance.

This paper shows an antireflection coating design skill for utilization the thin-film silicon solar cell in the future. The reflectivity of each index profile previously suggested as linear, cubic and quintic function has been calculated and compared. Each index profile is applied to the antireflection coating consisting of 6 layers with 180nm thickness. Also we suggest the graded index profile and compare it's reflectivity to the linear, cubic and quintic's ones. As a results we find the reflectivity generally decreases as the order goes to higher. However the reflectivity in the graded index profile shows the higher(lower) value than ones in the linear, cubic and quintic especially in the shorter(longer) wavelength range from 500 nm to below 700 nm(above 700 nm to 800 nm). Therefore we find that the graded index profile structure could be applied for the better antireflection coating design scheme especially for optical device and optical filter in the range of from deep red to infrared.

Pavement markings delineate driver's sight and attentions at day and night. Retroreflectivities of the pavement markings are known to be affected by some factors such as geometrical characteristics of road sections, marking materials, traffic volumes, weather, and so on. Therefore, pavement markings would have different retroreflectivities place by place. The objective of this paper is to contend that there are rises and falls of retroreflectivity of specific geometrical characteristics of road section based on observed field data. For this purpose, retroreflectivities of yellow continued lines and white skip lines were measured on the freeway sections from Hanam to Nami interchanges. And then, the sections are categorized based on road geometric or facility types. From this study, it may be concluded that there exist considerably lower retroreflectivity trends of pavement markings at sharply curved sections, climbing lane sections, ramp sections, and tunnel sections than averaged retroreflectivity trends on freeway sections. This may leads to the necessity of differential pavement marking managements.
