In this paper, the concept of infrared thermography(IRT), the principle of measurement of IRT and how to set up the IR camera for the nondestructive testing are described in detail. Also, its utilization and non-destructive testing(NDT) diagnosis are reviewed. By performing the periodic non-touched WDT through the estimation of thermal patterns related with the temperature for the surface targeted, IRT can be applied to the early prevention of the device failure. For the diagnosis utilization, thermal imaging patterns obtained from IRT for heated blocks with internal defects were estimated through the lion-destructive method and discussed the way of IRT estimation from the analysis of characteristics between material defects and thermal imaging patterns.

This paper presents design and implementation of infrared thermal image processing system based on the digital media processor for disaster monitoring. The digital thermal image processing board is designed and implemented by using commercial chips such as DM642 processor and video encoder, video decoder. The implemented functions for disaster monitoring are to analyze temperature distribution of a monitoring infrared thermal image and to detect disaster situation such as fire. For the input of infrared thermal image processing system, an infrared camera of type of the $320\;{\times}\;240\;{\mu}$-bolometer is used. The required functions are confirmed with 10 frame/second of processing performance by testing of the prototype and Practicality of the system was verified.

An experimental study was performed for the combustion-field visualization of the burner which burns the liquid hydrocarbon fuel atomized by an ultrasonic oscillator. Configurations of the flame and combustion-field were caught by both high-speed camera and thermo-graphic camera, and those images were analyzed in detail through a post-processing. As a result, the combustion-field grew and reaction-temperature rose due to the strengthening of combustion reaction with the increasing flow-rate of carrier-gas. In addition, a phenomenon of flame flickering was discussed through the comparative analysis of the variational behaviors between the visible flame and IR (Infrared) flame-field.

The leaf temperature is principally regulated by the opening and closing of stomata that is sensitive to various kinds of plant physiological stress. Thus, the analysis of thermal imagery, one of remote sensing technique, will be useful to detect crop physiological condition on smart farm system and phenomics platform. However, there are few case studies using a thermal imaging camera on the agricultural application. In this study, three cases are presented: the effect of lime fertilizer on the rice, the different physiological properties of soybean under shading condition, and the screening of soybean breeds for salinity tolerance characteristic. The leaf temperature measured by thermal imaging camera on the three cases was used effectively to the physiological change and characteristics. However, the thermal imagery analysis requires considering the accuracy of measured temperature and the weather conditions that affects to the leaf temperature.

Recently, various types of towels and dishcloth dryer products are being widely distributed in Korea. Evaluation methods for water absorption properties of various fabrics have been developed, and there are many studies using them. This study newly intended that whether it is possible to obtain data that can quantitatively analyze the water absorption characteristics of various fabrics, to show the correlation between the water absorption height and the amount of water (water holdup) absorbed, and to experimentally suggest the applicability to evaluate the drying capacity of towel dryer using IR camera. Through these experiments, it was confirmed that quantitative data on the water absorption height of various fabrics can be measured using an IR camera and can be clearly applied to the performance evaluation of actual products.

Respiratory infections such as COVID-19 mainly occur within enclosed spaces. The presence or absence of abnormal symptoms of respiratory infectious diseases is judged through initial symptoms such as fever, cough, sneezing and difficulty breathing, and constant monitoring of these early symptoms is required. In this paper, image matching correction was performed for the RGB camera module and the thermal imaging camera module, and the temperature of the thermal imaging camera module for the measurement environment was calibrated using a blackbody. To detection the target recommended by the standard, a deep learning-based object recognition algorithm and the inner canthus recognition model were developed, and the model accuracy was derived by applying a dataset of 100 experimenters. Also, the error according to the measured distance was corrected through the object distance measurement using the Lidar module and the linear regression correction module. To measure the performance of the proposed model, an experimental environment consisting of a motor stage, an infrared thermography temperature screening system and a blackbody was established, and the error accuracy within 0.28℃ was shown as a result of temperature measurement according to a variable distance between 1m and 3.5 m.

지난 수 년 동안 계속해서 일반 실상 카메라를 이용한 영상분석기술에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근에는 딥러닝 기술을 적용한 지능형 영상분석기술로 발전해 왔으며 국방기지방호, CCTV, 사용자 얼굴인식, 머신비전, 자동차, 드론 산업이 활성화되면서 많은 시너지를 효과를 일으키고 있다. 그러나 어두운 밤과 안개, 날씨, 연기 등 다양한 여건에서 따라서 카메라의 영상분석 정확성 감소와 오류가 수반될 수 있으며 일반적으로 딥러닝 기술을 활용하기 위해서는 고사양의 GPU를 필요로 하기 때문에 다른 추가적인 시스템이 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 열적외선 영상의 객체 검출에 적용하기 위해 SSD(Single Shot MultiBox Detector) 기반의 경량적인 MobilNet 네트워크로 재구성하여, 모바일 기기 등 낮은 사양의 낮은 임베디드 시스템에서도 활용 할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 모의 실험결과 제안된 방식의 모델은 적외선 열화상 카메라에서 객체검출과 학습시간이 줄어든 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Gas leak detection system is a key to minimize the loss of life due to the explosiveness and toxicity of gas. Most of the leak detection systems detect by gas sensors or thermal imaging cameras. To improve the performance of gas leak detection system using single-modal methods, the paper propose multimodal approach to gas sensor data and thermal camera data in developing a gas type identification model. MultimodalGasData, a multimodal open-dataset, is used to compare the performance of the four models developed through multimodal approach to gas sensors and thermal cameras with existing models. As a result, 1D CNN and GasNet models show the highest performance of 96.3% and 96.4%. The performance of the combined early fusion model of 1D CNN and GasNet reached 99.3%, 3.3% higher than the existing model. We hoped that further damage caused by gas leaks can be minimized through the gas leak detection system proposed in the study.

People with compromised visual ability suffer from many inconveniences in daily life, such as distinguishing colors, identifying currency notes and realizing the atmospheric temperature. Therefore, to assist the visually impaired people, we propose a system by utilizing optical and infrared cameras. In the proposed system, an optical camera is used to collect features related to colors and currency notes while an infrared camera is utilized to get temperature information. The user is enabled to select the desired service by pushing the button and the appreciate voice information are provided through the speaker. The device can distinguish 16 kinds of colors, four different currency notes, and temperature information in four steps and the current accuracy is around 90%. It can be improved further through block-wise input image, machine learning, and a higher version of the infrared camera. In addition, it will be attached to the stick for easy carrying and to use it more conveniently.

바닥급기 공조시스템은 재실자에게 신선외기를 효과적으로 공급하고 온열환경을 효과적으로 제공하기 위한 새로운 수단으로 시도되고 있다. 그러나 급기구가 인체에 너무 가까이 위치할 경우, 부분적인 열구배에 의한 불쾌감을 유발할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 바닥급기 공조시스템이 설치된 공간내의 온도 및 기류분포 등의 온열환경을 측정하였고 적외선 카메라를 이용하여 급기구에 의한 인체 표면 온도를 측정하여 열적 쾌적성에 미치는 영향에 관하여 고찰하였다.
