본 연구에서는 초음파를 사과의 비파괴 품질판정에 이용하기 위한 기초 연구로서 사과 표면에 입사, 반사되는 초음파 신호를 계측 및 분석하기 위한 시스템을 구축하고 저장기간에 따른 사과의 초음파 특성을 계측하였으며, 그 결론은 다음과 같다. 1. 구성된 비 접촉식 초음파 장치를 이용하여 전압-시간 그래프에서 전압의 진폭(PTP)값을 구하였고 신호처리용 프로그램을 이용하여 획득한 신호를 주파수 영역에서 분석하여 피크주파수, 영역별 에너지 밀도함수 등을 구하였다. 2. 사과의 초음파 특성을 분석한 결과 사과의 저장기간은 초음파 응답신호의 진폭(PTP) 및 제 3영역 에너지 스펙트럼 밀도함수와 높은 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 3. 초음파를 농산물의 비파괴 품질판정에 적용시 문제가 되고 지는 센서와 시료와의 접촉응력에 의한 응답신호의 변형에 의한 문제를 해결하고자 비 접촉식 센서를 사용하였으며, 실제 농산물에 적용이 가능한 것으로 판단되었다.

Multilateration acquires the transponder signal of target from receivers installed on the ground and calculates the position of the target using the difference of the signal acquisition time of each receiver. One of the factors that influence the positioning accuracy of Multilateration using the TDOA calculation method is the error due to the precision measurement of signal input time. When measuring the signal input time at the receiver, the input signal is sampled using the reference clock of the receiver and a reference sample having the same sampling rate is applied to the cross correlation technique. Therefore, the accuracy of the signal input time is proportional to the reference clock. In this paper, the algorithm for precisely measuring the signal input time by performing cross correlation between the input signal of the receiver and DRS(Delayed Reference Sample) is proposed. In order to verify this, we implemented the pulse signal of the transponder that is transmitted from the target using Matlab. Through the simulation, cross correlation between the proposed DRS and the input signal was performed. From this result, the performance of the precise measurement of signal input time was analyzed.

A multi-channel digital GPS receiver has been developed including a RF-to-IF engine (engine 1), a digital signal processing engine (engine 2) with a microprocessor interfacing, and a navigation software. A high speed SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) as a active device has been mounted on chip-on-board (COB) type hybrid ICs such as LNA, mixer, and VCO in RF front-end of the engine 1 board. A 6-channel digital correlator together with a real-time clock and a microprocessor interface has been realized using an Altera Flex 10K FPGA as well as ASIC technology. Navigation software controlling the correlator for GPS signal tracking, retrieval and storing a message retrieval, and position calculation has been implemented. The GPS receiver was tested using a single channel STR2770 simulator. Successful navigation message retrieval and position determination was confirmed.

In this paper, we developed pressure mesuring system for powered wheelchair and tried to validate the usefulness of developed system by pressure measuring experiment with 3D motion analysis. This system consist of 64ch seat FSR(Force Sensitive Resistance) sensor unit, 30ch*2 armchair FSR sensor unit, analog and digital hardware board, 2ch rotary encoder unit and realtime signal processing & display S/W. And each data acquired from this system has sampling frequency of 12bit, 10Hz. Pressure measuring experiment for 10 persons who use wheelchair in real life was performed in the 3D vision analysis room. From the experiment, we obtained result that the center line of body inclined to outside direction during powered-wheelchair rotate any direction.

In this paper, we developed the device for an interactive game interface using bio signals which were able to recognize user's motion intention using EMG signals and it was applied to the games which need the information of the muscle motion directions. The module for acquiring EMG signals consists of 4-Ch, wrist-motions were defined as up, right, down and left state. The user's intent was recognized through thresholding and comparing signals of each channel. The classification result of the motion directions could control the arrow keys on the keyboard of PC and it was applied on the various games. This proposed game device can be expected to induce an effective exercise with an interesting and enjoyment, and it can use both self-developed or commercial games.

This study analyzed the posture balance of time variation for exercising body a period of time. Posture balance measured output values for the posture balance system of body moving in the multi-parameter. Posture moving variation had three methods such as open and closed eye, head moving and upper body moving. There were checked a parameter that measured vision, vestibular, somatosensory, CNS. This system was evaluated a data through the stability. This system has catched a signal for physical condition of body data such as a data acquisition system, data signal processing and feedback system. The output signal was generated Fourier analysis that using frequency of 0.1Hz, 0.1-0.5Hz, 0.5-1Hz and 1Hz over. The posture balance system will be used to support assessment for body moving the posture balance of time variation. It was expected to monitor a physical parameter for health verification system.

Eddy current (EC) testing methods are widely used in a variety of applications including the inspection of steam generator tubes in nuclear power plants, aircraft parts and airframes. A key factor that affects the EC signal is lift-off which means the physical distance between a sensor and a specimen in the testing. In practice, it is difficult to keep track of the actual value of the lift -off during a specific experiment, simulation or testing in the field, which is essential for accurate interpretation of the signal to be used in the following steps. Hence it is necessary to have a scheme to render the EC signal invariant to the effects of lift-off in spite of the changes in the real world. This paper describes a new method for compensating EC signals for variations in lift-off by acquiring an invariance feature using a homomorphic operator and neural network techniques. The signals from various lift-offs are transformed to obtain a zero lift-off equivalent signal that can be subsequently used for defect characterization in the next step.

Image taken in the night can be low-contrast images because of poor environment and image transmission. We propose an algorithm that improves the acquired low-contrast image. MPEG-2 separates chrominance and illuminance, and compresses respectively because human vision is more sensitive to luminance. We extracted illumination and used K-means algorithm to find a proper crossover point automatically. We used K-means algorithm in the viewpoint that the problem of crossover point selection can be considered as the two-category classification problem. We divided an image into two subimages using the crossover point, and applied the histogram equalization method respectively. We used the index of fuzziness to evaluate the degree of improvement. We compare the results of the proposed method with those of other methods.

This work compared the bright calibration of digital radiation with signal-to-noise ratio and basic spatial resolution according to multi frame to enable effective inspection of welding parts of structures at industrial sites. A total of 130 images were obtained by using a ⁷⁵Se radiation source for flat weld test pieces and segmenting bright calibration and multi frame prior to shooting. The study confirms that the signal-to-noise ratio improves as the number of bright calibrations and the number of multi frame increases. The basic spatial resolution satisfied the baseline for both radiographic images. It was confirmed that the number of signal-to-noise ratio was similar by comparing images taken after installing lead shielding for scattering radiation. Although signal-to-noise ratio increases as multi frame increases, it is believed that good quality digital radiographs can be obtained if appropriate radiographic techniques are devised because exposure time of radiation affects workers' exposure and work efficiency.

In this paper, we propose an active location acquisition terminal needing to construct an infrastructure based on a LBS and analyze the performance in real field. The proposed terminal is compounded with a GPS module and a CDMA module, so it can get the location information independently using satellite GPS signal and the proposed terminal can decide a user location with the location information of a base station in satellite GPS shadowed area. This is the distinguishable location acquisition method from the conventional A-GPS, and it complements a disadvantage of the conventional GPS. From these results, we can confirm that the proposed active location acquisition terminal is suitable to the requirements for the LBS which are the independent location acquisition ability, the continuity in the location information acquisition and the maintenance in the location information security.
