저준위 환경 방사능 측정에서 가장 문제가 되는 것은 주변의 백그라운드에 의한 영향이다. 백그라운드로는 우주선, 지각 방사선, 그리고 대기중의 방사선 둥이 있다. 이러한 백그라운드를 감소시킬 수 있다면 저준위 방사능 측정의 감도향상은 물론 정확성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 이러한 백그라운드 중에서 대기중의 방사선은 주로 지각으로부터의 라돈 방출에 의하여 기인하게 된다(Eisenbud, 1987 : Thomas, 1972). 방출된 라돈 및 딸핵종들은 대기 중의 먼지에 흡착되어 부유하게 되는데, 부유 먼지에 흡착된 백그라운드의 주요 원인이 된다.

본 논문에서는 실시간 감시 시스템의 응용분야를 위한 백그라운드 모델링과 업데이트 그리고 오브젝트 추출 시스템을 설계 구현한다. 일반적인 감시 시스템은 백그라운드의 모델링(background modeling)과 오브젝트의 검출(object detection), 오브젝트의 추적(tracking)으로 구성된다. 실시간 감시시스템을 가능하게 하기 위해서는 작은 시간 복잡도(low time complexity)로 백그라운드와 오브젝트를 검출할 수 있어야 하고 실외환경(outdoor)의 노이즈(noise)를 반영할 수 있어야 한다. 기존에는 빠른 백그라운드 모델링을 위해 분산, 평균, 최빈값 등을 사용한 연구들이 있었다. 이러한 방법들은 빠른 수행 속도를 보장하지만 노이즈를 오브젝트로 검출하는 문제점이 있다. 또 다른 연구 분야인 메디안(median) 검출 방법은 실외환경에 존재하는 노이즈 반영에 적합한 반면, 정렬(sorting) 연산에 많은 시간이 소요된다. 본 논문은 윈도우(Window) 기반의 러닝 윈도우 리스트(Running Window List)를 이용하여 메디안 정렬 시간을 최소화하고 실시간으로 백그라운드 모델링, 오브젝트 검출, 백그라운드 업데이트를 할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.

Ultralow background gamma-ray measurement system was installed to measure and analyze gamma-rays emitted from environmental and swipe samples. The background reduction techniques applied on this system are the passive shielding to surround the HPGe detector, an active external anticosmic shield to shield cosmic-rays and the nitrogen gas supply to minimize the introduction of ubiquitous radon decay nuclei. The performance test result showed that the system background at energies between 50 keV and 2 MeV is reduced about $10^{-2}$ order and the MDA is so low as to be suitable for the environmental sample analysis. But it is appeared that the neutron produced by cosmic-ray increases the background at low energy region.

XRF spectrum data of a material include a lot of background signals which are not related to its components. Since an XRF analyzer analyzes components and concentrations of an analyte using the locations and magnitudes of gaussian-shaped peaks extracted from a spectrum, its background signals need to be removed completely from the spectrum for the accurate analysis. Morphology-based method, SNIP-based method and thresholding-based method have been used to remove background signals. In the paper, a background removal method, an improved version of an interval-thresholding-based method, is proposed. The proposed method consists of interval partitioning, interval classifying, and background estimation. Experimental results show that the proposed method has better performance on background removal from the spectrum than the existing methods, morphology-based method and SNIP-based method.

This study was performed to establish the analytical method of radium and radon in various environmental samples with the ${\gamma}$-ray spectrometry. The major problem in the measurements of low level ${\gamma}$-ray, such as environmental radioactivity, is the fluctuation of ${\gamma}$-ray background spectrum. To overcome this problem, a nitrogen gas was filled up in the detector chamber to reduce the background counts due to airborne radioactivities, i.e., $^{214}Pb$ and $^{214}Bi$, the daughters of $^{222}Rn$ in air. When nitrogen gas flowed around the detector, peak counts of ${\gamma}$-rays from the daughters of $^{222}Rn$ decreased about 80% below 1 MeV and about 20~50% above 1 MeV. The use of nitrogen purging results in approximately tenfold increment of sensitivity.

In this paper, the formula of lower limit of detection considering the measuring time of sample and background was derived using the basic concepts of lower limit of detection. Among parameters affecting the determination of MDA value, the MDA values were calculated with variation of amount of sample and measuring time of sample and background. The results of adequate division between the measuring time of sample and that of background studied in this research make it possible to evaluate confidence limits on the radio analytical results in the environmental sample.

X-ray fluorescence sprectrum signal include the continuum. XRF analysis the components of material by the amplitude of peaks. XRF remove the noise and background. To remove the noise, we apply the smoothing filter. And background removal methods applied such as SNIP, Morphology, Threshold methods. In this paper, we applied Threshold using DWT. Interval threshold method divide the some blocks in particular levels. We propose the method that is divided the particular level.
