PET (positron emission tomography) permits the investigation of physiological and biochemical processes in vivo. The accuracy of quantifying PET data is affected by its finite spatial resolution, which causes partial volume effects. In this study, we developed a method for partial volume correction using Hoffman phantom PET and MR data, and applied various FWHM (full width at half maximum) levels. We also applied this method to PET images of normal controls and tested for the possibility of clinical application. $^{18}$ F-PET Hoffman phantom images were co-registered to MR slices. The gray matter and white matter regions were then segmented into binary images. Each binary image was convolved by 4, 8, 12, 16 mm FWHM levels. These convolved images of gray and white matter were merged corresponding to the same level of FWHM. The original PET images were then divided by the convolved binary images voxel-by-voxel. These corrected PET images were multiplied by binary images. The corrected PET images were evaluated by analyzing regions of interests, which were drawn on the gray and white matter regions of the original MR image slices. We calculated the ratio of white to gray matter. We also applied this method to the PET images of normal controls. On analyzing the corrected PET images of Hoffman phantom, the ratios of the corrected images increased more than that of the uncorrected images. With the normal controls, the ratio of the corrected images increased more than that of the uncorrected images. The ratio increase of the corrected PET images was lower than that of the corrected phantom PET images. In conclusion, the method developed for partial volume correction in PET data may be clinically applied, although further study may be required for optimal correction.

The objective of the study is to verify a new calibration equation of dry density and water contents with TDR. Since the traditional calibration equation was proposed, some research to develop a new calibration equation has been conducted by several researchers. As traditional calibration equation is difficult to be applied for loose soil and fine-grained soil at high water contents, this study developed a new calibration equation. Thus, this study introduces a new calibration equation and its applicability by comparing TDR test results with conventional test results. Based on the analyses, the calibration equation for water content has large error. A new calibration equation was proposed and it showed more than 95% accuracy for estimating water content of soil.

Sensor is a key element in various fields of applications such as sensor networks. However, they could not be easily developed because of several factors such as temperature dependence of output characteristics and/or nonlinearity. Calibration of sensor is also needed to solve these problems. Conventional calibration process required a lot of time and expenses. Therefore, it is important to develop sensor systems which can shorten development time and minimize expense. In this paper, we develop CO and $CO_2$ Sensor modules and propose a multiple sensor calibration system to resolve problems of conventional calibration process. A proposed system is composed of sensor module, system board and monitor program. Regression analysis method based on the least mean squares is used for calibration. We introduced the structure of calibration systems and experimental results. Calibration results can be used to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed system.

We constructed a series of calibration models in the campus of Kangwon National University. A series of experiment for calibrating sonde response as well as casing effect in field measurement. Here we explained the process of construction of calibrating facility which consists of three model holes of different density and three model holes of different diameter. It was discussed the calibration equations obtained from its sonde response calibration test. A density correction chart for different separation of detector from hole wall was suggested, and verified the possibility of determining true density from measurements in cased hole.

In this study, experimental vibration tests are performed on a real full-scale railway steel plate girder bridge, which resides in open-space environments. Using experimental modal analysis techniques, the modal parameters of the railway steel plate girder bridge yielded by the modal testing of the impact hammer are compared and investigated with the natural frequencies and mode shapes obtained by finite element analysis. This work focuses on the application of model updating techniques to measured experimental data and output-only data from an analytical vibration study that takes into account various geometric and material properties of the bridge members. A finite element model of the railway bridge structure is used to verify the modal experimental results. It is subsequently updated using the corresponding modal identification technique. The basic database is provided to evaluate damage, which can be determined based on the changes in the element properties, resulting from the process of updating the finite element model benchmark and experimental data.

이 논문에서는 다중 프로브 교정 시 발생하는 오차를 측정하여 보정함으로써 측정 정밀도를 향상시킬 수 있는 프로그램을 개발에 대하여 연구하였다. 교정 시와 동일한 조건으로 기준구를 측정하여 오차를 산출한 다음 프로브 파라미터가 기록된 시스템 파일을 수정함으로써 교정 오차를 보정하는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 실험 결과 이론값과 실제값의 차가 CMM 분해능의 2배 이내임을 확인하였으며 프로그램은 CMM 사용자가 직접 작성 및 편집 가능하도록 DMIS 언어를 사용하였다.

본 논문의 실내위치측위시스템은 무선랜 환경에서 AP의 RSSI 신호를 수신하여 Friis 공식을 통해 거리로 산출되고, 산출된 거리는 삼각측량법에 의해 (x, y)좌표로 변환되어 현재의 위치를 나타낸다. 여기서 RSSI 신호는 신호잡음을 포함하고 신호잡음으로 인하여 실제 위치 측위 시 오차가 발생한다. 이러한, 오차를 보정하고 실내위치측위 정확도를 향상하기 위해 비선형시스템에서 사용하는 확장칼만필터를 적용하여 실험하였다. 본 실내위치측위시스템의 시스템모델은 선형이고 측정모델은 비선형이므로 효율적인 보정알고리즘인 확장칼만필터를 선택하고 실험은 MATLAB로 수행하였다. 실험결과 실내위치측위시스템의 정확도가 향상되었다.

핵융합로에서 챔버 벽면의 보호와 입자 문제를 해결하기 위해 최근 챔버 벽면의 보론 박막 코팅에 대한 연구가 활발히 연구 중이다. 핵융합로 운전 시 챔버 벽면 부근의 플라즈마는 저온 플라즈마와 상태가 비슷해 저온 플라즈마에서의 표면분석 기술을 적용할 수 있다. 이를 이용해 보론이 증착된 벽면의 상태를 실시간으로 관찰할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이에 앞서 저온 플라즈마에서 보론이 증착된 시편을 가지고 두께를 측정해 보았다. 증착 시편의 훼손된 부분은 보정법을 이용하여 보정하였다. 측정 결과 보정 전에는 시편마다 많은 차이를 보였지만 보정 후에는 거의 일정한 결과를 얻었으며 광학적 방법에 의해 측정한 두께와도 비슷한 결과를 얻었다. 저온 플라즈마 실험 결과 보론 박막 측정에 대한 신뢰성을 확인하였으며 이를 바탕으로 KSTAR의 벽면 진단에 적용함으로써 핵융합 플라즈마의 불안정성을 간접적으로 측정할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 수중 영상 환경에 특화된 자동 수중 영상 보정 시스템을 제안한다. 수중 영상은 빛 희석(light attenuation)을 인한 가시거리 제한, 낮은 영상 대비(low contrast) 그리고 부유물질과 같은 영상의 노이즈 등의 특수한 환경적 제약이 따른다. 기존의 수중 영상 보정 알고리즘은 색 및 대비(contrast) 보정, 가시거리 확장 및 노이즈 제거 기법등을 이용한 부분적으로 보정 연구가 진행되어 왔는데, 부분적 영상 보정 기법으로는 선명한 영상의 결과를 얻기 힘들다. 제안한 통합 수중 영상 보정 시스템은 색 및 대비 보정, 부유물질 제거를 위한 노이즈 필터링, 객체 윤곽선 강화를 위한 기법들을 통합하여 수중 영상에 특화하였다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 수중 영상 보정 시스템의 효율성을 확인하였다.

We carried out the standoff compensation data from 2007 to 2011 into four different density borehole models to find out the most effectiveness of standoff compensation charts. First, we investigated the irregular collapse characteristics of gamma ray and cut the non-ideal gamma response to improve the effectiveness of the standoff compensation error data. Effectiveness of detector combinations, density of borehole, and spine and ribs techniques from the modified standoff compensation data was analyzed. As the result of comparison, LSD-MSD combination has been suitable for standoff compensation more than LSD-SSD combination and it is possible to do standoff compensation for soil or weathered zone under groundwater level without fatal errors. Even though error scales of density transformed spine and ribs techniques were generally large compared to the conventional standoff compensation, standoff compensation for soil and weathered zone under groundwater level were sufficiently effective.
