Contact type sensors (e.g., displacement sensor and strain gauge) were typically used to evaluate the safety and mechanical properties in machines and construction. However, those contact type sensors have been constrained because of measurement problems such as surface roughness, temperature, humidity, and shape. The Digital Image Correlation (DIC) measurement system is a vision measurement system. This measurement system uses the taken image using a CCD camera and calculates the image correlation between the reference image and the deformed image under external force to measure the displacement and strain rates. In this paper, we discuss methods to improve the measurement precision of the digital image correlation measurement system. A tensile test was conducted to compare the precision improvement effects, by using the universal test machine and the DIC measurement system, with the use of subpixel algorithms, i.e., the Coarse Fine Search (CFS) algorithm and the Peak Finding (PF) algorithm.

In this study, we propose a novel super-resolution neural network based on U-Net, residual neural network, and sub-pixel convolution. To prevent the loss of detailed information due to the max pooling of U-Net, we propose down-sampling and connection using sub-pixel convolution. This uses all pixels in the filter, unlike the max pooling that creates a new feature map with only the max value in the filter. As a 2×2 size filter passes, it creates a feature map consisting only of pixels in the upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right. This makes it half the size and quadruple the number of feature maps. And we propose two methods to reduce the computation. The first uses sub-pixel convolution, which has no computation, and has better performance, instead of up-convolution. The second uses a layer that adds two feature maps instead of the connection layer of the U-Net. Experiments with a banchmark dataset show better PSNR values on all scale and benchmark datasets except for set5 data on scale 2, and well represent local area patterns.

Generally, a semiconductor chip measured with a few micro units is captured by line scan camera for higher inspection accuracy. However, the faulty inspection requires an exact boundary detection algorithm, because it is very sensitive to scan speed and lighting conditions. In this paper we propose boundary detection with subpixel edge detection in order to increase the accuracy of bump faulty detection on chips. The bump edge is detected by first derivative to four directions from bump center point and the exact edge positions are searched by the subpixel method. Also, the exact bump boundary to calculate the actual bump size is computed by LSM(Least Squares Method) to minimize errors since the bump size is varied such as bump protrusion, bump bridge, and bump discoloration. Experimental results exhibit that the proposed algorithm shows large improvement comparable to the other conventional boundary detection algorithms.

본 논문에서는 적응광학시스템$^{(1)}$ 의 성능 향상에 필수적인 파면왜곡의 기울기 정보를 고속으로 측정하기 위한 중심점 추출 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 내부의 영상처리전용보드와 CCD카메라를 이용하여 하트만 센싱 점 영상을 획득하였고, 획득한 하트만 센싱 점 영상에 대해 제안한 중심점 추출 알고리즘을 적용하여 서브픽셀 분해능으로 X축과 Y축의 기울기 정보를 고속으로 추출하였다. CCD센서에 촬상되는 하트만 센싱 점영상에서 각각의 점 영상은 중심점으로부터 대칭형으로 강도가 분포되어 있다고 가정할 수 있으나 전체 점영상의 각 점을 분석한 결과 비대칭적으로 예외적인 강도 분포를 갖는 점영상도 일부 발견되었다. 파면 왜곡이 없는 하트만 센싱 점영상으로부터 X, Y축 파면 왜곡 기울기 값을 추출한 결과 CCD 센서 픽셀의 기저 노이즈가 큰 불안정한 영역에서 기울기 값이 반복적으로 크게 추출되어 파면왜곡보정 시스템의 보정 성능을 떨어뜨리는 효과가 나타났다.

In the shadow map method, if the shadow map is magnified, the shadow has a jagged silhouette. Herein, we propose a soft shadow method that filters reshaped silhouettes analytically. First, the shadow silhouette is reshaped through sub-texel edge detection, which is based on linear or quadratic curve models. Second, an integral shadow filtering algorithm is used to accurately obtain the average shadow intensity from a definite integral estimation. The implementation demonstrates that our solution can effectively eliminate jagged aliasing and efficiently generate soft shadows.

일반적으로 머신비전을 이용한 위치 추정 정밀도는 카메라의 화소 수에 비례한다. 머신비전 카메라의 경우 화소가 많을수록 카메라 가격이 크게 증가하므로 화소 수만을 늘려서 정밀도를 높이는 하드웨어적 방법은 활용이 제한적이다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해서 적은 화소 수로 높은 위치 추정 정밀도를 얻을 수 있는 다양한 소프트웨어 알고리즘에 대한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 위치 추정 정밀도를 높이기 위한 서브 픽셀 위치 추정 알고리즘을 구현하고 이를 반도체 칩 검사용 고정밀 스테이지에 적용하였다.

We have developed a novel driving system of 5' true color FED using voltage controlled PWM method which has current control effect. The proposed method has the advantage of voltage controlled pulse width modulation method and current control method. Also, we propose a new circuit model of FED subpixel for circuit simulation of FED driving circuits, considering some parasitic effects, i.e., cross talk, line coupling effect and leakage current to the adjacent cathode lines. Output stage of the data driving circuit is optimized using the proposed circuit model. In video data processing, FED controller uses the parallel processing of R.G.B input data, so duty ratio is maximized and brightness of FED increases. With this results, no noise and high quality performance is achieved in display of 5' true color FED.

In this paper, we propose an automatic displacement system for testing stability of structure. Photogrammetry is a method which can measure accurate 3D data from 2D images taken from different locations and which is suitable for analyzing and measuring the displacement of structure. This paper consists of camera calibration, feature extraction using coded target & retro-reflective circle, 3D reconstruction and analyzing accuracy. Multi-view camera which is used for measuring displacement of structure is placed with different location respectively. Camera calibration calculates trifocal tensor from corresponding points in images, from which Euclidean camera is calculated. Especially, in a step of feature extraction, we utilize sub-pixel method and pattern recognition in order to measure the accurate 3D locations. Scale bar is used as reference to measure. the accurate value of world coordinate..

In this paper, we installed three high brightness red, green, and blue LED in one socket and made one pixel unit. And we also developed the full-color display board module and control unit which can express various images such as text, graphics, video image with the combination of pixel units and a number of modules. LED display driver module have a driver circuit within the combination of the RGB pixel dot on unit area. These modules of the existing form can be high priced because of implementation a fixed resolution in specific space and installation space. To overcome these shortcomings, we developed a LED driver and LED pixel modules free in array at random pitch intervals. Display board module of this paper enabled to display smoothly video image which have many data processing quantity through dragging data speed up 36 frames per second. Also there are an effect which is provided more clear image because of improving the flickering of the existing display board.
