This paper describes the development of the ground penetrating radar (GPR) system using UWB impulse radar with 48 Channel array. GPR is an effective alternative technology to resolve th disadvantages of metal detectors. Metal detectors have a very low detection probability of non-metallic landmine and high false alarm rates caused by metallic materials under the ground. In this paper, we use the mono-cycle pulse waveform with about 600 ps pulse width to obtain high resolution landmine microwave images. In order to analyze performances of this system, we utilize indoor test facility that made up of rough sandy loam which representative Korean soil. The mimic landmine models of metal/non-metal and anti-tank/anti-personnel landmines buried in DMZ (demilitarized zone) of Korea are used to analyze the detection depth and the shape of the mines using microwave image.

최근 이상기상현상과 기후변화로 인하여 국지적인 집중호우의 빈도 및 규모가 증가하고 있으며, 이로 인한 돌발 홍수피해가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 홍수 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 정확도가 우수한 초단시간(1~2시간 이내) 예측 강우량 정보가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 집중호우에 대한 초단시간예보 및 실황 예측을 위해 시공간적으로 고해상도 자료를 제공할 수 있는 기상레이더 강우자료와 위성영상 자료를 결합하여 초단기 강수 예측기법 개발 연구를 수행하였다. 또한 기상레이더 강우량은 지상강우관측에 비해 정확성이 낮고, 많은 불확실성을 포함하고 있으므로, 위성영상에서 산출되는 강우자료와 결합하여 강우추정의 정확도를 개선하고자 하였다. 레이더 볼륨자료에서 반사도 자료를 추출하여, 1.5km CAPPI(Constant Altitude Plan Position Indicator) 자료를 생성하고, 반사도 CAPPI 자료의 패턴 상관분석을 통하여 강우시스템의 최적 이동벡터를 산출하였다. 또한 이동벡터를 고려하여 시공간적으로 외삽하여 강우이동 예측 모델을 개발하고, 초기자료로 레이더와 천리안 위성(Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite, COMS) 영상자료에서 생성되는 강우자료를 결합한 강수장 자료를 이용하여 강수 예측장을 생성하였다. 레이더-위성 결합 초단기 강우예측 모델의 정확성 검증을 위하여 2014년 8월 25일 부산 및 영남 지역에 발생한 집중호우 사례에 대하여 지상기상자동관측시스템(Automatic Weather System, AWS) 강우 측정 결과를 비교 분석 하였으며, 그 적용 가능성을 검증하였다. 초단기 강우예측 분석 결과 지상강우자료와의 오차가 발생하나, 추후 여러 통계적 후처리 과정을 통하여 그 성능이 개선될 것으로 보이며, 보다 정확한 강우량 예측을 위해서는 지속적인 알고리즘 개선 및 모형의 검 보정이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose Auto exposure control (AEC) in SPECT/CT automatically controls the exposure dose (mA) according to patient's shape and size. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of AEC in SPECT/CT on exposure dose reduction and image quality. Materials and Methods The model of SPECT/CT used in this study was Discovery 670 (GE, USA), Smart mA for AEC; and $^{99m}Tc$ as a radioisotope. To compare SPECT and CT images by CT exposure dose variation, we used a standard technique set at 80, 100, 120, 140 kVp, 10, 30, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 mA, and AEC at 80, 100, 120, 140 kVp, 10-250 mA. To evaluate resolution and contrast of SPECT images, triple line phantom and flangeless Esser PET phantom were used. For CT images, noise and uniformity were checked by anthropomrphic chest phantom. For dose evaluation to find DLP value, anthropomorphic chest phantom was used and the CT protocol of torso was applied by standard technique (120 kVp, 100 mA) and AEC (120 kVp, 10-250 mA). Results When standard and AEC were applied, the resolutions at SPECT images with attenuation correction (AC) were the same as FWHM by center 3.65 mm, left 3.48 mm, right 3.61 mm. Contrasts of standard and AEC showed no significant difference: standard 53.5, 29.8, 22.5, 15.8, 6.0, AEC 53.5, 29.6, 22.4, 15.7, 6.1 In CT images, noise values at standard and AEC were 15.4 and 18.5 respectively. The application of AEC increases noise but the value of coefficient variation were 33.8, 24.9 respectively, obtaining uniform noise image. The values of DLP at standard and AEC were 426.78 and 352.09 each, which shows that the application of AEC decreases exposure dose more than standard by approximately 18%. Conclusion The results of our study show that there was no difference of AC in SPECT images based on the CT exposure dose variation at SPECT/CT images. It was found that the increased CT exposure dose leads to the improvement of CT image quality but also increases the exposure dose. Thus, the use of AEC in SPECT/CT contributes to obtaining equal AC SPECT images, and uniform noise in CT images while reducing exposure dose.

The relative position of the orbital eye can be a criterion for evaluating several pathological conditions. It is especially useful to diagnose orbital fractures, thyroid eye disease, orbital tumors and to evaluate the outcome of medication and surgical treatment. Hertel and Naugle are representative measurement tools used to measure eyeball protrusion values, and have different measurement results, such as fixed orbits, every time they are inspected, even if the same inspector repeatedly measures them. Even with the same calibrator, it is inevitable that different manufacturers will change the design of the stationary part of the orbit, causing the surveyor to make a measurement error. In this paper, we designed and fabricated a protrusion measuring device using a white light interferometer and measured the protrusion of the human eye and found that the precision and repeatability were significantly higher than the manual measurement method.

최근까지의 교통사고 통계에 따르면 주간 보다는 야간에 더 많은 사고가 발생하며, 사고 원인 중 하나는 부적절한 조명 시설로 인한 시야 미확보, 눈의 피로감 증가가 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 스마트폰 기반으로 야간 도로 밝기 측정 어플리케이션을 구현하여 야간에 부적절한 조명 시설이 설치된 지점을 파악하기 위해서 위치 정보와 밝기 정보, 이동 방향 정보를 실시간으로 데이터베이스에 저장하여 모니터링해주는 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. 이를 위해, 안드로이드 NDK을 이용하여 Native 환경에서 차선 검출 및 RGB 색 공간의 값을 휘도 값으로 변환 알고리즘을 작성하였다. 또한 스마트폰의 카메라를 이용하여 실시간으로 도로 영상을 입력 받은 후 ROI 설정 하여 연산 속도를 향상시켰고, 차선 검출을 통해 차선 사이의 도로 밝기 정보를 획득하고 GPS 센서를 이용하여 이동 방향 정보와 위치 정보를 획득하여 데이터베이스에 저장하였다. 어플리케이션 사용자들의 주행 정보를 바탕으로 도로 밝기 값 데이터베이스를 활용하여 눈부심 및 조명관련 사고 위험 구간을 자동으로 알려주는 후속 연구를 진행할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The issue of inspection and characterization of microstructures has emerged as a major consideration in design, fabrication, and detection of MEMS devices. However, the conventional measurement techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging, atomic force microscopy (AFM) scanning, and mechanical surface profiler, require often destructive process or may be difficult to measure with a wafer scale. In this paper, we characterize the surface profiles of microstructures using an optical scanner based on a DVD pick-up module. Scanning images of the microstructures are successfully generated using the intensity of reflected light from different depths of the surface profiles, based on the focus error signal (FES) from photodiodes. It is shown that the proposed optical scanner can be used as an alternative measurement system with high performance and low cost, compared to conventional measurement techniques.

지상라이다는 고정도의 3차원 영상을 제공하고 레이저 빔을 현장이나 대상물에 발사하여 짧은 시간에 수백만점의 3차원좌표를 기록할 수 있는 최신 측량장비로서 다양한 응용분야에서 두각을 나타내고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지상라이다를 이용한 건축물의 3자윈 자동 윤곽선 추출을 다룬다. 지상라이다는 건축물의 3차원 윤곽선을 신속하게 추출할 수 있지만 지상기반 시스템이므로 여러 가지 장애물 때문에 건국물의 하단부에서는 추출이 쉽지 않다. 기존 항공라이다를 이용한 알고리즘에서는 사진의 색상차나 모폴로지 특성에 의존하여 범위를 제한하고, 이를 기반으로 윤곽선을 추출하였다. 하지만 지상라이다의 경우 항공라이다에 비해 분해능이 월등히 높다. 또한, 지상라이다는 지상에서 측정하기 때문에 항공라이다에서 어려운 건축물의 측면이나 정면도 윤곽선 추출이 가능하기 때문에 본 논문에서는 사진을 이용하지 않고 전처리를 하지 않은 데이터를 직접 이용하여 건물의 정면 윤곽선을 추출하는 것을 제안한다. 건물의 크기와 데이터 수 즉, 라이다로 측정한 포인트 수를 고려한 효율적인 Decimation방법을 제안하고 또한, Decimation된 데이터이서 지역적으로 제일 큰 값과 작은 값을 찾아낸다. 그 중 많이 벗어난 점을 편차를 이용하여 제거한다. 이렇게 찾아낸 건축물의 외곽점들을 이어 만든 윤곽선을 최종적으로 보간하여 좀 더 현실과 가까운 윤곽선 추출 방법을 제안한다.

In this thesis, GPS and the electronic mapping were used to realize such a system by recognizing license plate numbers and identifying the location of objects that move at synchronous times with simulated movement in the electronic map. As well, throughout the study, a camera attached to a PDA, one of the mobile devices, automatically recognized and confirmed acquired license plate numbers from the front and back of each cu. Using this mobile technique in a wireless network searches for specific plate numbers and information about the location of the car is transmitted to a remote sewer. The use of such a GPS-based system allows for the measurement of topography and the effective acquisition of a car's location. The information is then transmitted to a central controlling center and stored as text to be reproduced later in the form of diagrams. Getting positional information through GPS and using image-processing with a PDA makes it possible to estimate the correct information of a car's location and to transmit the specific information of the car to a control center simultaneously, so that the center will get information such as type of the cu, possibility of the defects that a car might have, and possibly to offer help with those functions. Such information can establish a mobile system that can recognize and accurately trace the location of cars.

Recently, as the number of high-resolution satellite SAR images increases, the demand for precise matching of SAR imagesin change detection and image fusion is consistently increasing. RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) values using GCPs (Ground Control Points) selected by analysts have been widely used for quantitative evaluation of image registration results, while it is difficult to find an approach for automatically measuring the registration accuracy. In this study, a feasibility analysis was conducted on using the FSIM (Feature Similarity) index as a measure to evaluate the registration accuracy. TerraSAR-X (TSX) staring spotlight data collected from various incidence angles and orbit directions were used for the analysis. FSIM was almost independent on the spatial resolution of the SAR image. Using a single SAR image, the FSIM with respect to registration errors was analyzed, then use it to compare with the value estimated from TSX data with different imaging geometry. FSIM index slightly decreased due to the differencesin imaging geometry such as different look angles, different orbit tracks. As the result of analyzing the FSIM value by land cover type, the change in the FSIM index according to the co-registration error was most evident in the urban area. Therefore, the FSIM index calculated in the urban was mostsuitable for determining the accuracy of image registration. It islikely that the FSIM index has sufficient potential to be used as an index for the co-registration accuracy of SAR image.
