The output of an infrared (IR) sensor mounted on an EO/IR payload is known to change during a mission period in an orbital environment. As it is required to calibrate the output of the IR sensor periodically to obtain high-quality images, an on-board black body system is mounted on the payload. All systems operating in the space environment require performance tests on ground to verify the target performance in the orbital environment. Therefore, it is also required to test the black body system to verify the performance of the surface temperature uniformity and the estimated representative temperature error within the target temperature range in the operating environment. In this study, calibration of the estimated representative temperature error and verification of the thermal performance of the black body system were conducted by performed a performance test in the thermal vacuum chamber applying deep space radiation cooling effect of an orbital environment.

실내공간에서 사용자 재실인원수를 파악하기 위한 일반적인 방법으로는 출입구의 내 외부 벽면에 인체감지용 센서를 두 개 이상 설치하여 센서 ID별로 감지되는 순서에 따라 사용자의 입 퇴실 상황을 판별하는 것이다. 기존에 사용되고 있는 대부분의 인체 감지용 센서시스템은 동일한 종류의 센서를 조합한 형태로서 각 센서의 종류에 따른 동작방식 및 하드웨어적 특징에 따라 빛이나 온도 등의 주변 환경 요소와 장애물 등에 의해 오작동하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 적외선, 초음파, 마이크로웨이브 등 세 가지 인체감지용 센서를 다양하게 조합할 수 있는 하이브리드 센서 모듈을 이용하여 사용자의 입 퇴실 상황과 공간 내 재실인원수를 정확하게 인식하기 위한 최적의 센서 조합을 파악한다. 실험 결과, 내부/외부 모두 적외선 센서 또는 마이크로웨이브 센서를 조합하거나 내부/외부에 적외선 및 마이크로웨이브 센서를 조합한 시스템이 타 센서를 조합한 시스템에 비해 우수한 성능을 보였다.

This paper describes NDIR $CO_{2}$ gas sensor that shows the characteristics of temperature compensation. It consists of novel optical cavity that has two elliptical mirrors and a thermopile that includes ASIC chip in the same metal package for the amplification of detector output voltage and temperature sensor. The newly developed sensor module shows high accuracy ($less\;than {\pm}40\;ppm$) throughout the measuring concentration of $CO_{2}$ gas from 0 ppm to 2,000 ppm. After implementing the calculation methods of gas concentration, which is based upon the experimental results, the sensor module shows high accuracy less than ${\pm}5\;ppm$ error throughout the measuring temperature range ($15^{\circ}C\;to\;35$^{\circ}C$) and gas concentrations with self-temperature compensation.

In this paper we discuss about the practical implementation of a combined CO and CO2 dual sensor module that is adapted by NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) method that measures the absorbance of gas like CO and CO2 by using gas particles' characteristics that absorb specific wave lengths of infrared ray. NDIR has a long life time, excellent measurement and precision compared to the existing contact types or chemical types of CO2 sensors. Since optical cavity technology that had been developed until now can measure CO2 only we research and develop an optimal optical cavity design and density-temperature calibration technologies that can measure CO and CO2 at the same time and is important to decide the performance of the sensor module according to well-designed wave guides of the different length.

Every object emits some energy from its surface. The emission energy forms surface heat distribution which we can capture by using an infrared thermal imager. The infrared thermal image may include valuable information regarding to the subsurface anomaly of the object. Since a thermal image reflects surface clutter and subsurface anomaly, we have difficulty in extracting the information on the subsurface anomaly only with thermal images taken under a wavelength. Thus, we use visible wavelength images of the object surface to remove exterior clutter. We, therefore in this paper, visualize the infrared image for overlaying it with a visible wavelength image. First, we make an interpolated image from two ordinary images taken from both sides of an infrared sensor. Next, we overlay the intermediate image with an infrared image taken from the infrared camera. The technique suggested in this paper can be utilized for analyzing the infrared images on non-destructive inspection against disaster and for safety.

The spectral radiance received by an infrared (IR) sensor is mainly influenced by the surface temperature of the target itself. Therefore, the precise temperature prediction is important for generating an IR target image. In this paper, we implement the combined three-dimensional surface temperature prediction module against target attitudes, environments and properties of a material for generating a realistic IR signal. In order to verify the calculated surface temperature, we are using the well-known IR signature analysis software, OKTAL-SE and compare the result with that. In addition, IR signal modeling is performed using the result of the surface temperature through coupling with OKTAL-SE.

적외선 감지기로 사용되는 microbolometer 소자재료로 VOx 또는 비정질 Si이 가장 많이 사용된다. 그 중에서 VOx 물질은 온도저항계수 즉, TCR이 높고 감지도가 우수하기 때문에 비냉각 적외선 검출기에 많이 응용된다. Microbolometer 검출기는 그 응답도는 micromachining 공정에 의해 좌우되는 열 고립구조에 의해 좌우된다. 특히 TCR 값이 크고, 열시상수 값이 작을수록 양질의 감지도를 얻을 수 있으므로 재료의 선택 및 공정이 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비냉각 적외선 감지소자로 사용되는 VOx 박막을 DC Sputtering을 사용하여 증착하였으며, 그 특성을 조사하였다. MEMS 공정에 의한 센서의 제작은 적외선을 흡수하여 저항변화를 읽어내어 판독하는 Readout IC(ROIC) 위에 행해진다. Monolithic 공정에 의해 이러한 ROIC 위에서 공정이 동시에 행해지므로 공정온도는 매우 중요한 요소로 작용한다. 따라서 증착된 VOx 박막의 열처리 효과를 연구하였다. 열처리 온도는 $250^{\circ}{\sim}420^{\circ}C$, 열처리 시간은 20~80 min 까지 변화시켰다. 갓 증착된 VOx 박막의 저항은 약 200 $k{\Omega}$이였으며, TCR은 -1.5%/$^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 TCR 값은 증가하였으며, 열처리 시간이 증가할수록 역시 TCR 값이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 열처리 온도 320$^{\circ}C$, 열처리 시간 40 min에서 TCR 값은 약 -2%/$^{\circ}C$의 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 성능의 VOx 박막을 이용하여 비냉각형 microbolometer 검출소자를 열변형없이 공정을 수행할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Snow, rain, fog, and particulate matter interfere with the vehicle driver's vision, which causes a non-secure safety distance and an increase in speed deviation, causing repetitive large-scale traffic accidents. This study developed a road environment sensor capable of measuring 11 types of fog, snow, rain, temperature, humidity, direction of wind, speed of wind, Insolation, atmospheric pressure, fine particles, rainfall, etc. and compared the visibility measured by the infrared signal value of the development sensor. The relationship between the existing fog visibility sensor and the development sensor measurement was derived from data measured at a visibility of 500m or less that directly affects road safety.
