우리나라에서는 수입 개방화 추세에 따라 공정한 유통질서 확립하고 국내 생산자와 소비자를 보호하기 위하여 원산지 표시제가 시행되고 있다. 그러나 수입 농산물과 국산 농산물의 큰 가격차이로 인하여 원산지를 허위 표시하는 경우가 증가하고 있다. 특히 쌀 관세화 전환 의무에 따른 수입산 쌀 증가하고 있으며 단립종과 중립종 수입산 쌀은 국내산 쌀과 외관이 유사하여 육안식별이 어려워 국내산 쌀로 둔갑할 우려가 있다. 이에 신속하고 비파괴적으로 쌀의 원산지를 판별할 수 있는 기술 개발이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내산 쌀과 중국산 쌀의 원산지를 신속하게 판별가능한 영상 처리기술을 개발하였다. 쌀은 국내에서 생산된 중립종 50점과 중국에서 생산된 단립종 및 중립종 51점이 수집되어 사용되었다. 쌀의 분광 영상은 초분광 가시광 및 근적외선 영상 시스템을 이용하여 측정하였다. 이 시스템은 할로겐-텅스텐 라인광, 시료 이송부, 초분광 영상 획득부로 구성되어 있다. 텅스텐-할로겐 라인광은 $15^{\circ}$ 각도로 대칭으로 시료에 조사되고 400 ~ 1000 nm 파장 영역의 반사광 영상 스펙트럼이 측정되었다. 초분광 영상 데이터는 광에 노출되지 않은 암실에서의 파장별 영상과 반사율이 99% 이상인 기준판의 파장별 영상을 이용하여 교정되었다. 부분최소제곱회귀법을 이용하여 쌀 원산지 판별모델 식을 개발하였고, 이 판별 모델식을 교정된 초분광 영상에 적용하여 영상처리 판별 모델을 개발하였다. 그 결과, 원산지 판별정확도가 97.4% 이상으로 나타났으며, 국내산과 중국산 쌀의 원산지 판별이 가능하였다.

The response of vegetation under the crop stress condition was evaluated using structural, biochemical, and physiological vegetation indices based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images and field-spectrometer data. A high concentration of herbicide was sprayed at the different growth stages of garlic to process crop stress, the above ground dry matter of garlic at experimental area (EA) decreased about 46.2~84.5% compared to that at control area. The structural vegetation indices clearly responded to these crop damages. Spectral reflectance at near-infrared wavelength consistently decreased at EA. Most biochemical vegetation indices reflected the crop stress conditions, but the meaning of physiological vegetation indices is not clear due to the effect of vinyl mulching. The difference of the decreasing ratio of vegetation indices after the herbicide spray was 2.3% averagely in the case of structural vegetation indices and 1.3~4.1% in the case of normalization-based vegetation indices. These results meant that appropriate vegetation indices should be utilized depending on the types of crop stress and the cultivation environment and the normalization-based vegetation indices measured from the different spatial scale has the minimized difference.

[ $n^+-p^+$ ] InP homojunction solar cells were fabricated by thermal diffusion of sulphur into a $p^+$-InP wafer($p=4{\times}10^{18}cm^{-3}$), and a SiO film($600{\AA}$ thick) was coated on the $n^+$ layer as an antireflection(AR) coating by an e-beam evaporator. The volume of the cells were $5{\times}5{\times}0.3mm^3$. The front contact grids of the cells with 16 finger pattern of which width and space were $20{\mu}m$ and $300{\mu}m$ respectively, were formed by photo-lithography technique. The junction depth of sulphur were as shallow as about 0.4r m We found out the fabricated solar cells that, with increasing the diffusion time, short circuit current densities($J_{sc}$), series resistances($R_s$) and energy conversion efficiencies(${\eta}$) were increased. The cells show good spectral responses in the region of $5,000-9,000{\AA}$. The short circuit current density, the open circuit voltage( $V_{oc}$), the fill factor(F.F) and the energy conversion efficiency of the cell were $13.16mA/cm^2$, 0.38V, 53.74% and 10.1% respectively.

In the field of computer vision, image mosaicking is a common method for effectively increasing restricted the field of view of a camera by combining a set of separate images into a single seamless image. Image mosaicking based on feature points has recently been a focus of research because of simple estimation for geometric transformation regardless distortions and differences of intensity generating by motion of a camera in consecutive images. Yet, since most feature-point matching algorithms extract feature points using gray values, identifying corresponding points becomes difficult in the case of changing illumination and images with a similar intensity. Accordingly, to solve these problems, this paper proposes a method of image mosaicking based on feature points using color information of images. Essentially, the digital values acquired from a digital color camera are converted to values of a virtual camera with distinct narrow bands. Values based on the surface reflectance and invariant to the chromaticity of various illuminations are then derived from the virtual camera values and defined as color-invariant values invariant to changing illuminations. The validity of these color-invariant values is verified in a test using a Macbeth Color-Checker under simulated illuminations. The test also compares the proposed method using the color-invariant values with the conventional SIFT algorithm. The accuracy of the matching between the feature points extracted using the proposed method is increased, while image mosaicking using color information is also achieved.

Existing change detection researches have been focused on changes of land use and land cover (LULC), damaged areas, or large vegetated and water regions. On the other hands, increased temporal and spatial resolution of satellite images are strongly suggesting the feasibility of change detection of small objects such as vehicles and ships. In order to check the feasibility, this paper analyzes the performance of existing pixel-based change detection methods over small objects. We applied pixel differencing, PCA (principal component analysis) analysis, MAD (Multivariate Alteration Detection), and IR-MAD (Iteratively Reweighted-MAD) to Kompsat-3A and Google Map images taken within 10 days. We extracted ground references for changed and non-changed small objects from the images and used them for performance analysis of change detection results. Our analysis showed that MAD and IR-MAD, that are known to perform best over LULC and large areal changes, offered best performance over small object changes among the methods tested. It also showed that the spectral band with high reflectivity of the object of interest needs to be included for change analysis.

The Republic of Korea reclaimed land to increase its food self-sufficiency rate, but the yield was reduced due to abnormal climate. In this study, it was hypothesized that rapid and continuous monitoring technology could help improve yield. Using the vegetation index (VI) analysis, the drought stress index was calculated and the drought stress for corn grown in Hwaong, Saemangeum, and Yeongsan River reclaimed tidal land was predicted according to drying treatment. The vegetation index of corn did not decrease during the last 20 days of irrigation when soil moisture rapidly decreased, but decreased rapidly during the 20 days after irrigation. The reduction rate of the vegetation index according to the drying treatment was in the order of Saemangeum>Yeongsan River>Hwaong reclaimed tidal land, and normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI) decreased by approximately 50% in all reclaimed tidal lands, confirming that drought stress occurred due to the decrease in moisture content of the leaves. In addition, structure pigment chlorophyll index (SIPI) and photochemical reflectance index (PRI), which are calculated based on changes in light use efficiency and carotenoids, were reduced; drought stress caused a decrease in light use efficiency and an increase in carotenoid content. Therefore, vegetation index analysis was confirmed to be effective in evaluating and predicting drought stress in corn growing on reclaimed tidal land corn.

Electro-Optical Camera(EOC) is the main payload of the KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite(KOMPSAT) with the mission of cartography to build up a digital map of Korean territory including a Digital Terrain Elevation Map(DTEM). This instalment which comprises EOC Sensor Assembly and EOC Electronics Assembly produces the panchromatic images of 6.6 m GSD with a swath wider than 17 km by push-broom scanning and spacecraft body pointing in a visible range of wavelength, 510~730 nm. The high resolution panchromatic image is to be collected for 2 minutes during 98 minutes of orbit cycle covering about 800 km along ground track, over the mission lifetime of 3 years with the functions of programmable gain/offset and on-board image data storage. The image of 8 bit digitization, which is collected by a full reflective type F8.3 triplet without obscuration, is to be transmitted to Ground Station at a rate less than 25 Mbps. EOC was elaborated to have the performance which meets or surpasses its requirements of design phase. The spectral response, the modulation transfer function, and the uniformity of all the 2592 pixel of CCD of EOC are illustrated as they were measured for the convenience of end-user. The spectral response was measured with respect to each gain setup of EOC and this is expected to give the capability of generating more accurate panchromatic image to the users of EOC data. The modulation transfer function of EOC was measured as greater than 16 % at Nyquist frequency over the entire field of view, which exceeds its requirement of larger than 10 %. The uniformity that shows the relative response of each pixel of CCD was measured at every pixel of the Focal Plane Array of EOC and is illustrated for the data processing.

Clouds cause many difficult problems in observing land surface phenomena using optical satellites, such as national land observation, disaster response, and change detection. In addition, the presence of clouds affects not only the image processing stage but also the final data quality, so it is necessary to identify and remove them. Therefore, in this study, we developed a new cloud detection technique that automatically performs a series of processes to search and extract the pixels closest to the spectral pattern of clouds in satellite images, select the optimal threshold, and produce a cloud mask based on the threshold. The cloud detection technique largely consists of three steps. In the first step, the process of converting the Digital Number (DN) unit image into top-of-atmosphere reflectance units was performed. In the second step, preprocessing such as Hue-Value-Saturation (HSV) transformation, triangle thresholding, and maximum likelihood classification was applied using the top of the atmosphere reflectance image, and the threshold for generating the initial cloud mask was determined for each image. In the third post-processing step, the noise included in the initial cloud mask created was removed and the cloud boundaries and interior were improved. As experimental data for cloud detection, CAS500-1 L2G images acquired in the Korean Peninsula from April to November, which show the diversity of spatial and seasonal distribution of clouds, were used. To verify the performance of the proposed method, the results generated by a simple thresholding method were compared. As a result of the experiment, compared to the existing method, the proposed method was able to detect clouds more accurately by considering the radiometric characteristics of each image through the preprocessing process. In addition, the results showed that the influence of bright objects (panel roofs, concrete roads, sand, etc.) other than cloud objects was minimized. The proposed method showed more than 30% improved results(F1-score) compared to the existing method but showed limitations in certain images containing snow.

금속 실리사이드는 낮은 비저항, 실리콘과의 좋은 호환성 등으로 배선 contact 물질로 널리 연구되고 있다. 특히 $CoSi_2$는 선폭의 축소와 관계없이 일정하고 낮은 비저항과 열적 안정성이 우수한 특성 등으로 배선 contact 물질로 활발히 연구되고 있다. 금속 실리사이드를 실리콘 평면기판에 형성시키는 방법으로는 열처리를 통한 금속박막과 실리콘 기판 사이에 확산작용을 이용한 SALICIDE (self-algined silicide) 기술이 대표적이며 CoSi2도 이와 같은 방법으로 형성할 수 있다. Co 박막을 증착하는 방법에는 물리적 기상증착법 (PVD)과 유기금속 화학 증착법 등이 보고되어있지만 최근 급격하게 진행 중인 소자구조의 나노화 및 고 단차화에 따라 기존의 증착 기술은 낮은 단차 피복성으로 인하여 한계에 부딪힐 것으로 예상되고 있다. ALD(atomic layer deposition)는 뛰어난 단차 피복성을 가지고 원자단위 두께조절이 용이하여 나노 영역에서의 증착 방법으로 지대한 관심을 받고 있다. 앞선 연구에서 본 연구진은 CoCp2 전구체과 $NH_3$ plasma를 사용하여 Plasma enhanced ALD (PE-ALD)를 이용한 고 순도 저 저항 Co 박막 증착 공정을 개발 하고 이를 SALICIDE 공정에 적용하여 $CoSi_2$ 형성 연구를 보고한 바 있다. 하지만 이 연구에서 PE-ALD Co 박막은 플라즈마 고유의 성질로 인하여 단차 피복성의 한계를 보였다. 이번 연구에서 본 연구진은 Co(AMD)2 전구체와 $NH_3$, $H_2$, $NH_3$ plasma를 반응 기체로 사용하여 Thermal ALD(Th-ALD) Co 및 PE-ALD Co 박막을 증착 하였다. 고 단차 Co 박막의 증착을 위하여 Th-ALD 공정에 초점을 맞추어 Co 박막의 특성을 분석하였으며, Th-ALD 및 PE-ALD 공정으로 증착된 Co 박막의 단차를 비교하였다. 연구 결과 Th-ALD Co 박막은 95% 이상의 높은 단차 피복성을 가져 PE-ALD Co 박막의 단차 피복성에 비해 크게 향상되었음을 확인하였다. 추가적으로, Th-ALD Co 박막에 고 단차 박막의 증착이 가능한 Th-ALD Ru을 capping layer로 이용하여 CoSi2 형성을 확인하였고, 기존의 PVD Ti capping layer와 비교하였다. 이번 연구에서 Co 박막 및 $CoSi_2$ 의 특성 분석을 위하여 X선 반사율 분석법 (XRR), X선 광전자 분광법 (XPS), X선 회절 분석법 (XRD), 주사 전자 현미경 (SEM), 주사 투과 전자 현미경 (STEM) 등을 사용하였다.
