실내조명으로서의 LED는 휘도의 분포특성이 기존의 조명기구와는 판이하게 다르며, 이에 따라 불쾌감을 느끼는 정도에서도 변화가 일어날 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 가장 일반적으로 사용되어지는 글레어 평가지수인 UGR을 간단히 보정하여 LED 조명기구에 대한 값으로 사용할 수 있도록 주관평가 실험을 통해 보정식을 산출해내고 LED 조명기구별 증가계수 k를 구하였다.

Projector-based visual systems are widely used for VR and experience display applications. But the illumination irregularity on the screen surface due to the screen material and its light reflection properties sometimes deteriorates the user experience. This phenomenon is particularly troublesome when the participants of the head tracking VR system such as CAVE or the motion generation experience system continually move around the system. One of reason to illumination irregularity is projector-screen specular reflection component to participant's eye's position and it's analysis needs high computation complexity. Similar to calculate specular lighting term using GPU's programmable shader, Our research adjusts every pixel's brightness in runtime with given 3D screen space model to reduce illumination irregularity. For doing that, Angle-based brightness compensate function are considered for specific screen installation and modified it for GPU-friendly compute and access. Two aspects are implemented, One is function access transformation from angular form to product and the other is piecewise linear interpolate approximation.

In an infrared optical system, using a cooled detector generates a phenomenon called a narcissus, in which the focal-plane array cooled to very low temperatures is reflected at the lens surface and detected. The narcissus can be removed by non-uniformity correction of the detector pixel, so narcissus is generally ignored in infrared optics. However, non-uniformity correction reduces the sensitivity of the system. Also, as the housing temperature varies due to an environmental temperature change, or a lens is moved for focusing or athermalization purposes, a narcissus may occur even after non-uniformity correction. To minimize such a narcissus, the amount of the effect must be controlled in the lens-design stage. In this paper we designed a midinfrared optical system and analyzed the narcissus by setting the lens surface reflectance to 1%. In addition, the design was divided into stages of an initial design, an improved design, and a minimum design, and the narcissus was improved to about 56% of that in the initial design.

There are many antenna array errors. They will distort the array beam pattern and result in an increased sidelobe level. A calibration technique is proposed for correcting the antenna array errors such as mutual coupling and unequal feeder characteristics. These are modeled as a matrix representing the interaction between the radiating elements. The matrix is estimated from the measured array response vectors. The antenna array errors are corrected by modifying the beamforming weight vector. It is verified by the electromagnetic simulation and experiment that the proposed technique reduces the sidelobe level and increases the antenna gain.

Radiography image detector produces digital images by collecting the charges from the incident x-ray photons and converting it to the voltage signals and then the digital signals. The fixed-pattern noise from the nonuinform amplifier gains in the employed multiple readout circuits. In order to correct the nonuniform gains, a gain-correction technique which is based on the gain map is conventionally used. Since the photon noise remains in the designed gain map, the noise contaminates the gain-corrected images. In this paper, experimental observations are conducted for filtering the remained noise in the gain map, and a filter optimization algorithm is proposed to efficiently remove the noise. For acquired x-ray images from detectors, the filtered gain maps are evaluated and it is shown that optimization algorithm can improve the filtering performance even for relatively strong fixed-pattern noises, which cannot be removed by a simple filter.

When the imaging object rotates in image plane during MRI scan, its rotation causes phase error and non-uniform sampling to MRI signal. The model of the problem including phase error non-uniform sampling of MRI signal showed that the MRI signals corrupted by rotations about an arbitrary center and the origin in image plane are different in their phases. Therefore the following methods are presented to improve the quality of the MR image which includes the artifact. The first, assuming that the angle of 2-D rotational motion is already known and the position of 2-D rotational center is unknown, an algorithm to correct the artifact which is based on the phase correction is presented. The second, in case of 2-D rotational motion with unknown rotational center and unknown rotational angle, an algorithm is presented to correct the MRI artifact. At this case, the energy of an ideal MR image is minimum outside the boundary of the imaging object to estimate unknown motion parameters and the measured energy increases when the imaging object has an rotation. By using this property, an evaluation function is defined to estimate unknown values of rotational angle at each phase encoding step. Finally, the effectiveness of this presented techniques is shown by using a phantom image with simulated motion and a real image with 2-D translational shift and rotation.

A catenary system should be designed to have an uniform elasticity over a span in order to maintain the lowest possible loss of contact between a pantograph and a contact wire. A elasticity uniformity of a catenary can be regarded as a important design factor used for predicting the current collection performance for a catenary. There are a couple of formulas to calculate the degree of elasticity uniformity of a catenary according to the literature survey. The effectiveness of these formulas is reviewed by performing catenary elasticity and loss of contact analysis for various different configurations of catenary systems using a beam element based FEM program. The results reveals that these formulas are not suitable to predict the current collection performance for a catenary. Therefore, a new formula based on the standard deviation of the elasticity over a span is proposed in this study. The analysis results show that the new formula for an elasticity uniformity of a catenary is very effective in predicting the current collection performance for a catenary.

육상, 해양, 항공 등의 응용분야에 위성항법보강시스템의 활용을 위해서는 시스템의 정확성, 무결성, 연속성, 가용성 요구 조건을 만족하도록 설계되어야 하며, 무결성 요구 조건을 만족시키기 위하여 측위 오차 및 위협 요인들을 지상국에서 감시해야한다. 특히, 전리층 변화는 지역적으로 경향 및 세기가 달라 전리층 폭풍 발생 시 지상국과 이동체에서 받은 위성항법 신호에 포함된 전리층 지연 오차의 편차가 심하여 위성항법 사용자의 무결성, 즉 안정성이 위협을 받는 상황이 발생할 수 있으므로, 해당지역의 전리층 변화에 대한 사전 정보를 통해 지역별로 적합한 위협 모델을 구성하여 전리층 활동 감시가 필요하다. 전리층 기울기는 전리층 지연값 분포의 불균일 여부를 정량화한 값으로, 전리층 폭풍 발생시 기울기가 급증하여 전리층 폭풍 감지를 위한 지표로 활용될 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 육상 교통 위성항법보강시스템의 무결성 감시에 전리층 변화 기능을 적용하기 위한 기본 연구로 IGS에서 제공하는 전리층 보정정보를 이용하여 한반도 상공에 대한 전리층 기울기 분포 및 변화 경향을 파악하고, 이러한 분석 결과를 전리층 기울기에 대한 보정정보 오차범위 설정이나 전리층 폭풍 발생 판단에 필요한 임계값 설정 등에 적용하고자 한다.

In order to increase the survivability of combatant ship, measuring and analyzing the infrared radiation is important. Consequently, providing analysis report is also important for the progress of the new combatant ship design. This paper proposes a design and software implementation of filtering for the noise reduction of mid-wave IR camera image. We reduced the total test cost by using the suggested software filtering technique instead of hardware replacement or re-calibration. In addition, we enhanced the accuracy of analysis results by adjusting the parameters of software filtering according to the results of filtered image.

MRI 스캔중 촬상 대상물의 화상평면내에서의 회전은 MRI 신호에 위상오차와 불균일 표본화를 일으킨다. 따라서, 아티팩트가 포함된 MR 화상의 화질열화를 개선하기 위하여 다음과 같은 방법들을 제안한다. 우선, 미리 주어진 회전파라메타로서 쌍일차 보간과 중첩특성을 이용해서 k공간 불균일 표본화 데이터를 수정하는 알고리즘과, 2차원 회전운동의 회전각은 이미 알려져 있고, 회전중심 위치가 미지인 경우에 대해 아티팩트를 보정하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 때, 미지운동 파라메타를 예측하기 위해 촬상대상물의 경계바깥쪽에서 이상적인 MR 화상의 에너지는 최소가 되고, 촬상 대상물의 회전이 존재할 때 측정된 에너지가 증가한다는 성질을 이용했다. 이러한 성질을 이용해서 시뮬레이션 화상에 적용한 결과 제안한 방법에 대한 유효성을 확인하였다.
