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.

A small infrared image homing system is a tracking system that has an infrared image sensor that identifies a target through the day and night infrared image processing of the target on the ground and searches for and detects the target with respect to the main target. This paper describes the development of a board equipped with a high-speed CPU and FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) to identify target through real-time image processing by acquiring target information through infrared image. We propose a CPU-FPGA combining architecture for CPU and FPGA selection and video signal processing, and also describe a controller design using FPGA to control infrared sensor.

A scale model test for ship Infra-Red signature measurements at sea is impossible, because it is sensitive to the environment. Since we can't control the meteorological environment of the real sea, it can't be carried out with the desired maritime environments. Therefore, in the sea, we made measurements of the weather, operating conditions of the ship, and ship IR signatures under given conditions, and then analyzed them. Conversely, we compared the results of the test with a prediction for a given scenario condition. This paper describes the test items, procedures, and measuring instruments of the experiments at sea and the results from basic researches for methods of estimation and analysis of the measured data.

According to a study on improving ship survivability, an IR signature represents the contrast radiance intensity between the radiation signature from a ship and the background signature. It was found from applying stealth techniques to the process of ship development that the IR signature is remarkably sensitive and dependent on the environment. In this study, marine climate data for the sea near the Korean Peninsula were collected, and the marine meteorological environment in Korean waters was defined. Based on this data, a study on the sensitivity of the IR signature of target objects was performed using analytical methods. The results of the research indicated that clouds have important effects on the infrared signature, but the velocity of the wind and the humidity have only slight effects on the IR signature. In addition, the air and seawater temperatures had hardly any effect on the IR signature, but it is judged that additional study is needed.

In this paper, the combination of ultraviolet and infrared sensors based design for flame signal detection algorithms was proposed with the application of light-wavelength from burning. And, the performance result of image detection was compared by an ultraviolet sensor, an infrared sensor, and the proposed dual-mode sensors(combination of ultraviolet and infrared sensors).

Development of an accurate infrared signature (IR) measurement system is expected to contribute in the development of low observable technology and the spectroscopic analysis of electromagnetic radiation. Application of a spectroradiometer (SR) allows for the measurement of detailed infrared signature from the exhaust plume due to its own heat source. Establishment of a measurement system using a micro-turbo engine is intended to simulate the modelling of the aircraft plume. The engine was installed on a test stand to measure the engine performance. The IR signature was measured by placing the SR perpendicular to the axis line of the exhaust plume. Reference data from the blackbody were also measured to calibrate the raw data, and the infrared signature of the background was also measured for comparison with that of the plume. The calibrated spectral radiance was obtained through the data reduction process and the results were analyzed in specific bands. The experiments revealed that the measurement system established here showed sufficient performance for further comprehensive analysis.

적외선 무선 통신을 이용한 가전기기의 무선 제어는 신호를 증폭하거나 장거리로 제어 신호를 전송할 수 없고, 제어신호가 물리적인 장벽을 투과하지 못하므로 사용자의 이용에 많은 제한이 있다. 또한 무선 주파수(Radio Frequency)를 이용하여 제어 신호를 전송하면 적외선이 가지는 이러한 단점을 해결할 수 있으나 서로 다른 주파수 대역을 사용하므로 호환성과 확장성이 부족하다. 이러한 점을 극복하기 위하여 단거리 무선통신 규약인 블루투스를 이용한 가전기기 원격 제어 시스템을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 가택이나 사무실에서 쉽게 접할 수 있는 가전기기(오디오)를 대상으로 제어용 클라이언트(Wall plate)와 이로부터 제어신호를 수신하여 가전기기를 제어하는 메인 컨트롤러의 무선 제어 시스템을 제안하고 그 구현을 소개한다.

The stealth performance of supersonic aircraft in recent air battlefield is one of the most significant feature for latest fighters. Especially, as the technology is advancing, the IR stealth capability becomes more important because of its passive characteristic. To design an aircraft with stealth capability, we must know how much the IR signature is generated from the aircraft. Also, predicting the IR signature of enemy's aircraft is tactically crucial. In this study, we calculated MWIR and LWIR infrared signature of $5^{th}$ generation supersonic aircraft against air-to-air and surface-to-air threat using IR simulation code and CFD coupled procedure.

In this paper, we propose a smoke detection system in order to detect a fire in a wide space, such as tunnel, airports using infra-red and visible laser. The proposed smoke detection system is composed of infra-red laser transmitter and receiver, visible laser and Zigbee wireless communication network. A visible laser is used to match transmitter and receiver and Zigbee network is utilized to propagate warnings of fire. If smoke is appeared between transmitter and receiver, received signals are decreased and it can be considered as occurring smoke. As IR laser transmitter and receiver are separated by long distance, it is difficult to match due to large variations caused by small change of direction. In this paper, it is proposed to match effectively using visible laser. When smoke is detected, warning informations are propagated by Zigbee network in the developed smoke detection system.

Infrared signal and exhaust gas temperature distribution with bypass ratio were measured using a micro turbojet engine. Micro turbojet engine was modified to simulate the turbofan engine behaviour. Core flow was simulated using the jet flow of the micro turbojet engine, and high-pressure air was supplied to its external duct to simulate bypass flow. The effects of bypass ratios (0.5, 1.0, and 1.4) were examined. The experimental results indicate that the infrared signal decreases as the bypass ratio increases. And also gas temperature decreases with bypass ratios. Additionally, Schlieren visualization of the exhaust gas plume was conducted. From the exhaust gas temperature distribution and Schlieren images, the structure of jet plume with various bypass ratios was understood.
