We made a study of 3-D migration which could precisely image data of GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) applied to NDT (Non-Destructive Test) field for the inspection of structural safety. In this study, we obtained 3-D migrated images of important targets in structuresurvey (e.g. steel pipes, cracks) by using 3-D Kirchhoff prestack depth migration scheme developed for seismic data processing. For a concrete model consisting of steel pipe and void, the targets have been well defined with opposite amplitude according to the parameters of the targets. And migrated images using Parallel-Broadside array (XX configuration) have shown higher resolution than those using Perpendicular-Broadside array (YY configuration) when steel pipes had different sizes. Therefore, it is required to analyze the migrated image of XX configuration as well as that of general YY configuration in order to get more accurate information. As the last stage, we chose a model including two steel pipes which cross each other. The upper pipe has been resolved clearly but the lower has been imaged bigger than the model size due to the high conductivity of the upper steel.

For imaging complex subsurface structures such as salt dome, faults, thrust belt, and folds, seismic prestack reverse-time migration in depth domain is widely used, which is performed by the cross-correlation of shot-domain wavefield extrapolation with receiver-domain wavefield extrapolation. We apply the prestack reverse-time migration, which had been developed at KIGAM, to the seismic field data set of Block 5 in Jeju basin of Korea continental shelf in order to improve subsurface syncline stratigraphy image of the deep structures under the shot point 8km at the surface. We performed basic data processing for improving S/N ratio in the shot gathers, and constructed a velocity model from stack velocity which was calculated by the iterative velocity spectrum. The syncline structure of the stack image appears as disconnected interfaces due to the diffractions, but the result of the prestack migration shows that the syncline image is improved as seismic energy is concentrated on the geological interfaces.

Direct volume rendering is a widely used method for visualizing three-dimensional volume data such as medical images. This paper proposes a method for applying depth-of-field effects to volume ray-casting to enable more realistic depth-of-filed rendering in direct volume rendering. The proposed method exploits a camera model based on the human perceptual model and can obtain realistic images with a limited number of rays using jittered lens sampling. It also enables interactive exploration of volume data by on-the-fly calculating depth-of-field in the GPU pipeline without preprocessing. In the experiment with various data including medical images, we demonstrated that depth-of-field images with better depth perception were generated 2.6 to 4 times faster than the conventional method.

In this paper, we propose a novel focus measure that determines in-focus and out-of-focus region in an image. In addition, we achieved extended depth of field by blending the acquired image and Wiener filtered image using a decision map based on the designed focus measure. Since conventional focus measures are based on the amount of high frequency components in an acquired image, the measures may not be accurate if there exist high frequency components in out-of-focused region. To overcome the problem, we designed the novel focus measure based on effective band pass filtering. In simulations and experiments, the proposed method showed better performance than existing methods.

본 연구는 Landsat 7 ETM+를 이용한 지열자원 평가 가능성 연구로써, 위성영상의 열적외 밴드에서 추출된 지표온도와 지열자료의 비교를 통해 위성영상이 초기 지열 탐사에 적용 가능한지를 평가하기 위하여 실시하였다. 지열자원 부존 가능성 평가를 위해 경상도지역(114-35)의 여름시기영상(2001년8월24일)과 겨울시기영상(2000년3월14일)사이의 DN(Digital Number) 값을 이용하였으며, 두 시기영상은 시추공 온도자료 및 지형자료와 함께 비교 분석을 실시하였다. 영상에서 지표온도 추출을 위해 1) NASA에서 제공하는 지표온도 산출 경험식 ( T = K $_2$ / ln ( K $_1$ / L $_{\lambda}$ + 1 ) )을 이용한 방법과 2) 기상청에서 제공하는 실제 지표면온도 관측자료(n=7)를 이용해 영상의 화소(Pixel) 값을 계산하여 실측값과 비교하였다. 3월과 8월 모두 Ground Truth 방법에 따라 추정한 지표면 온도값이 실측값과 더 가깝게 나타났고, 특히 3월은 NASA의 경험식을 이용했을 때 보다 실측 지표면 온도에 훨씬 더 가까운 것으로 나타났다. 지표온도의 일변화(Diurnal ${\triangle}$T)는 지표 열물성과 밀접한 관련이 있으므로, 일변화(Diurnal ${\triangle}$T) 보다는 지열의 영향이 더 클 것으로 기대되는 계절변화(Seasonal ${\triangle}$T)를 이용하여 지열 자료와 비교해 보았다. 그 결과, 계절변화(Seasonal ${\triangle}$T)는 고도에 영향을 받으며, 일사량에 의한 차이는 거의 일정하게 나타났다. 위성영상에서 계절변화(Seasonal ${\triangle}$T)와 심도 20m 온도를 비교해 본 결과결정계수(R$^2$)는 0.46으로 낮지만 심도 20m 온도가 높을수록 계절변화(Seasonal ${\triangle}$T)는 작아지는 경향을 보여 지열자원 탐사에 있어 위성영상 적용 가능성을 볼 수 있었다. 이번 연구는 기초단계로서 두 시기 위성영상을 이용하여 초기 지열자원탐사에 가능성만을 연구했지만, 지형과 특히 토지피복(함수량 등)에 의한 영향에 대해 좀 더 심도 있는 연구가 요구된다.

The depth of field is the range that the objects inside of this range treated to be focused. Objects that are placed out of this range are out of focus and become blurred. In computer graphics, generating depth of field effects gives a great reality to rendered images. The previous researches on the depth of field in computer graphics can be divided into two major categories. One of them is the distributed ray tracing that samples the lens area against each pixel. It is possible to obtain precise results without noise if enough number of samples are taken. However, to make a good result, a great number of samples are needed, resulting in an enormous timing requirement. The other approach is the method that approximates depth of field effect by post-processing an image and its depth values computed using a pin-hole camera. Though the second technique is not that physically correct like distributed ray tracing, many approaches which using this idea have been introduced because it is much faster than the first approach. But the post-processing have some limitations because of the lack of ray information. In this paper, we first present an improvement technique that corrects the previous post-processing methods and then propose another one that accelerates the distributed ray tracing by using a radiance caching method.

Migration velocity analysis (MVA) for creating optimum depth-domain velocities in seismic imaging was applied to marine long-offset multi-channel data, and the effectiveness of the MVA approach was demonstrated by the combinations of conventional data processing procedures. The time-domain images generated by conventional time-processing scheme has been considered to be sufficient so far for the seismic stratigraphic interpretation. However, when the purpose of the seismic imaging moves to the hydrocarbon exploration, especially in the geologic modeling of the oil and gas play or lead area, drilling prognosis, in-place hydrocarbon volume estimation, the seismic images should be converted into depth domain or depth processing should be applied in the processing phase. CMP-based velocity analysis, which is mainly based on several approximations in the data domain, inherently contains errors and thus has high uncertainties. On the other hand, the MVA provides efficient and somewhat real-scale (in depth) images even if there are no logging data available. In this study, marine long-offset multi-channel seismic data were optimally processed in time domain to establish the most qualified dataset for the usage of the iterative MVA. Then, the depth-domain velocity profile was updated several times and the final velocity-in-depth was used for generating depth images (CRP gather and stack) and compared with the images obtained from the velocity-in-time. From the results, we were able to confirm the depth-domain results are more reasonable than the time-domain results. The spurious local minima, which can be occurred during the implementation of full waveform inversion, can be reduced when the result of MVA is used as an initial velocity model.
