In this paper we propose a new method that can be estimation the spectral power distribution of the light source from three-band images. the light source is estimated by dividing the reflected spectral power distribution of the maximum achromatic region(L(λ)) by the corresponding surface reflectance(Ο(λ)). In order to obtain reflected spectral power distribution of the maximum achromatic region from three-bend images, a modified gray world assumption algorithm is adapted. And the maximum surface reflectance is estimated using the principal component analysis method along with achromatic population. The achromatic population is created from a set of given Munsell color chips whose chroma vector is less than threshold. Cumulative contribution ratio of principal components from the first to the third for classified achromatic population was about 99.75%. The reconstruction of illumination spectral power distribution by using achromatic population and three-band digital images captured under various light source was examined, and evaluated by RMSE between the original and reconstructed illumination spectral power distribution. This work was supported by grant No (2000-1-30200-005-3) from the Basic Research Program of the Korea Science & Engineering Foundation.

Near infrared blocking function in energy saving window glass is required. The design, deposition and characteristics of optical thin films for reflection of near-infrared light were studied. The optical thin film is designed as laminated film structure with low refractive index film and high index film. Deposition experiments of $SiO_2$ and $TiO_2$ thin films with designed structure using the RF sputtering method were carried out. The characteristics of the thin film with deposition conditions were analyzed. High-refractive-index thin film of $TiO_2$/low refractive-index thin film of $SiO_2$ and high-refractive-index thin film of $TiO_2$ structure for reflection of near-infrared light was designed to be simulated. Results of simulation showed reflectance of 30% or more in the range from 930nm to 1682nm. Triple layer thin films fabricated with simulated results showed wavelength bands from 930nm to 1525nm for the reflectance of 33% or more.

Knowledge for reflectance characteristic of interesting targets will provide us with actual application of remote sensing on agriculture. In this study, we have measured and analyzed reflectivity characteristics based on growing status from transplanting time to harvesting time. Rice paddies transplant into 3 fields at 20, May, 1999. Measurement of reflectivity characteristics were carried out with a portable spectroradiometer for frequencies from 300nm to 1100nm during the time period from 11:00 AM to 01:00 PM of clear sky and calm a day. The measurements for a day repeated 3 times(also, 3 times to each measurement)for reliable values. In result, we found that averaged reflectivity of visible range has about 2.34% - 2.55% in blue region(400nm-498nm), about 5.05% - 6.01% in green region(500nm-598nm) and about 4.21% - 5.24% in red region(600nm-698nm). It must be noted that the more rice canopy grows, the more spectral reflectivity decreases in visible region. Also, we separated infrared region into two cases - One case is increasing region with 700nm-780nm, the other is fixed region with 800nm-1100nm. Averaged reflectivity of these regions has about 22.3% - 23.0% in increasing region, about 29.4% - 33.1% in fixed region. It must be noted that more rice canopy grows, the more spectral reflectivity also increases up to 23, Aug. in infrared region. After 23, Aug, the reflectivity has a tendency toward decrease.

UAV in the agricultural application are capable of collecting ultra-high resolution image. It is possible to obtain timeliness images for phenological phases of the crop. However, the UAV uses a variety of sensors and multi-temporal images according to the environment. Therefore, it is essential to use normalized image data for time series image application for crop monitoring. This study analyzed the variability of UAV reflectance and vegetation index according to Aviation Image Making Environment to utilize the UAV multispectral image for agricultural monitoring time series. The variability of the reflectance according to environmental factors such as altitude, direction, time, and cloud was very large, ranging from 8% to 11%, but the vegetation index variability was stable, ranging from 1% to 5%. This phenomenon is believed to have various causes such as the characteristics of the UAV multispectral sensor and the normalization of the post-processing program. In order to utilize the time series of unmanned aerial vehicles, it is recommended to use the same ratio function as the vegetation index, and it is recommended to minimize the variability of time series images by setting the same time, altitude and direction as possible.

Recent advanced UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) technology supply new opportunities for estimating crop condition using high resolution imagery. We analyzed the diurnal change of reflectance and NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) in UAV imagery for crop monitoring in clear day condition. Multi-spectral images were obtained from a 5-band multi-spectral camera mounted on rotary wing UAV. Reflectance were derived by the direct method using down-welling irradiance measurement. Reflectance using UAV imagery on calibration tarp, concrete and crop experimental sites did not show stable by time and daily reproducible values. But the CV (Coefficient of Variation) of diurnal NDVI on crop experimental sites was less than 5%. As a result of comparing NDVI at the similar time for two day, the daily mean average ratio of error showed a difference of 0.62 to 3.97%. Therefore, it is considered that NDVI using UAV imagery can be used for time series crop monitoring.

Air pollution and artificial heat of urban areas have caused the urban heat island in which asphalt pavements absorb solar heat during the daytime and release the heat at night. Hence, in order to improve the environment of urban areas, it is necessary to examine cooling pavements that can reduce heat on road pavements in urban areas. The application of temperature insulation paints on road pavements require to reduce black brightness for visibility, to increase the reflection rate of infrared light and minimize the reflection rate of visible light. In the study, one part of Acrylic-emulsion was used as a main binder, and the changes in black brightness and the changes of addition ratio (0%, 15%, 30%) of hollow ceramics, as well as kinds of paints (carbon black pigment, mixed mineral pigment) were selected as the main experimental factors. The performance of temperature reduction of cooling pavements was analyzed through the reflection rate of spectrum, the reflection rate of solar heat, and the lamp test. Abrasion resistance, UV accelerated weather resistance, and sliding resistance were tested in real situations. In addition, the performance of heat reduction of testing pavements covered with high-reflection paints was analyzed by using an infrared camera. As the test results, when using mixed mineral paints and hollow ceramic of 30%, the reflection rate of spectrum was 43% in the area of near-infrared ray and 17% in the area of visible light at black brightness of $L^*$=42.89 and the reflection rate of solar heat was 27.5%. Total color difference was ${\Delta}E$=0.27 in the test of UV Accelerated Weather Resistance, indicating almost no changes in color. BPN was more than 53 when scattering #2 and #4 silica sand of more than $0.12kg/m^2$. In Taber's abrasion resistance test, abrasion loss was up to 86.4mg at 500 rotations. The performance of heat reduction was evaluated using an infrared camera at the test section applying high-reflection paints to asphalt pavements, in which the results showed that the temperature was reduced by $12.7^{\circ}C$ on CI-30-40 cooling pavements ($L^*$=38.76) and by $14.2^{\circ}C$ on CI-30-60 cooling pavements ($L^*$=57.12).

This study proposes a new calculation method for generating real nighttime lamp-lit images. In order to improve the color appearance in the prediction of a nighttime lamp-lighted scene, the lamp-lit image is synthesized based on spectral distribution using the estimated local spectral distribution of the headlamps and the surface reflectance of every object. The Principal component analysis method is introduced to estimate the surface color of an object, and the local spectral distribution of the headlamps is calculated based on the illuminance data and spectral distribution of the illuminating headlamps. HID and halogen lamps are utilized to create beam patterns and captured road scenes are used as background images to simulate actual headlamp-lit images on a monitor. As a result, the reproduced images presented a color appearance that was very close to a real nighttime road image illuminated by single and multiple headlamps compared to the conventional graphic-based algorithm.

We studied patterned ITO layers of PDP thin films on glass substrates using spectroscopic ellipsometry. The optical property of ITO is expressed with the optical model based on two Lorentz oscillators. The effect of patterned ITO is calculated by taking the weighted average of reflectance in proportion to ITO coverage. The relative coverage of ITO is determined by using the model analysis of spectroellipsometric data. The difference of ITO coverage obtained by the best-fit model analysis of ellipsometric spectra to the expected one is critically examined and suggestions are made to minimize the observed discrepancy.

빗각 증착은 입사 증기가 기판과 평행하게 입사하지 않고 기울여져 입사하는 코팅 방법으로 박막의 조직을 다양한 형태로 제어할 수 있다. 사전 연구결과에서 빗각으로 코팅된 알루미늄(Al) 박막의 경우 빗각으로 코팅되지 않은 Al 박막보다 반사율, 표면조도, 내식성이 향상되는 결과를 얻었다. 본 연구에서는 빗각 증착과 Al 박막의 Si 함유량이 반사율, 내열, 내식성에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하였다. 마그네트론 스퍼터링으로 Al과 Al-Si 합금(Al-3 wt%Si, Al-10wt%Si)을 코팅하였다. 기판은 실리콘 웨이퍼와 염수분무시험을 위해 냉간압연강판을 사용하였으며 기판은 진공용기에 장착하기 전 알코올과 아세톤으로 초음파 세척 후 진공용기에서 글로우 방전을 이용하여 청정을 실시하였다. 기판 청정이 끝나면 기판을 $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$의 다양한 빗각으로 고정시켜 다층의 Al과 Al-Si 합금 박막을 코팅하였다. 박막의 조직을 관찰하기 위해 전자현미경을 사용하였으며 Al과 Al-Si 박막이 코팅된 냉간압연강판의 부식 특성을 평가하기 위해서 염수분무시험을 실시하였다. 박막의 치밀도 측정을 위해 Ferroxyl 시험을 실시하여 철과 Ferroxyl 용액이 반응하여 발생하는 파란 반점으로 기공도를 평가하였다. 박막의 내열성 평가를 위해서 대기 전기로를 이용하여 $450^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$에서 각각 4시간과 8시간 동안 열처리를 실시하여 시편 표면의 색상 변화를 분광광도계와 색차계로 관찰하였다. Al 박막의 Si 함량이 증가할수록 박막의 조직이 치밀해지고 내부식성이 향상되었다. Si이 10 wt% 함유된 박막은$500^{\circ}C$로 8시간 열처리한 후에도 열처리하지 않은 시편과 광택도 비교에서 변화가 크지 않았다. 빗각 $30^{\circ}$에서 코팅한 Si 함량 10 wt%인 박막이 우수한 반사율을 보였으며 염수분무시험에서 216시간이 경과한 후에 적청이 발생하여 우수한 내부식성을 보였다. 따라서 코팅층의 우수한 내부식성과 내열성, 높은 반사율은 다양한 산업분야에 적용이 가능한 우수한 표면처리 소재를 확보할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.
