The main purpose of this paper is to make a map showing canopy cover by using airborne Lidar data based on region. Watershed algorithm was applied to elevation data to conduct segmentation, and then canopy cover was estimated through the regions extracted. In the process of transforming point data to raster, we solved the problems about overestimation and underestimation by using frequency method. Also, canopy cover map could be produced with various scales by differing level of segmentation and it provides more accurate and precise information than ones of ordinary public forest map.

In this study, the shielding rate of major X-ray protective equipment used in the medical environment was calculated using X-ray spectrum data emitted from the diagnostic X-ray generator of The Institute of Physics and Engineering(IPEM) Report-78, and the applicability of radiation protection was investigated. Radiation shielding rates were calculated through reduction rates of air-kerma and total intensity for lead apron (0.3 mmPb), thyroid shield (0.5 mmPb), lead goggles (0.5 mmPb), and lead glass (1.8, 2.7, 3.3 mmPb) used for diagnostic X-ray protection. As a result, the shielding rate calculated as the air kerma reduction rate ranged from 96.31 to 100% at 80 kV, and 90.35 to 100% at 120 kV. In addition, the results of this calculation were well matched with the results of previous studies measuring the actual shielding rate, and it is expected that the X-ray spectrum data of IPEM Report-78 can be used for radiation protection.

일반적으로 전자파챔버는 패러데이 케이지(Faraday Cage)라고 불리는 금속재질의 차폐구조물과 구조물 내부에서 발생할 수 있는 전자파의 반사를 억제하는 전파 흡수체로 구성되어 있다. 전자파 환경시험의 무결성을 유지하기 위해서는 챔버 내부에서 발생하는 전자기파가 외부로 나가는 것이 차단되어야 하며 역으로 챔버 외부에서 발생하는 전자기파도 챔버 내부로 유입되지 않도록 전자파챔버 차폐완결성이 유지되어야 한다. 이를 정량적으로 측정함으로서 전자파챔버의 차폐율(Shielding Effectiveness)이 정의될 수 있다. 이상적으로는 전자파챔버의 차폐구조물이 이음새 없이 완벽한 차폐완결성이 유지되어야 하나, 시험품의 이동을 위한 도어 및 외부 EGSE와 시험품간 전기적인 연결을 위한 포트 플레이트의 설치로 인해 완벽한 차폐완결성을 유지하는 것은 불가능하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 항공우주연구원에 설치된 전자파챔버의 일반 차폐면, 도어, 포트 플레이트에 대한 차폐율 측정을 통해 차폐율을 정량적으로 검증하였다. 또한, 본 측정 경험과 결과 분석은 전자파 챔버에서 이뤄지는 전자파환경시험의 신뢰성을 증진하고 향후 전자파 챔버 유지보수 및 대형 위성의 전자파 환경시험을 위한 대형 전자파 시험시설의 성능시험을 위해 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Changes in the energy spectrum were analyzed using ^99mTc as a point source and a scattering phantom, and the shielding effect of the lead apron according to the changed gamma ray energy was evaluated. In the gamma ray energy spectrum of the scattering phantom, the photo peak area decreased and the compton scattering area increased compared to the point source. The coefficients for each energy range according to the change in the shape of the gamma ray source showed a reduction rate of up to 66.1 % at a distance of 20 cm compared to the coefficient of the point source, and in the compton scattering area, the coefficient of the scattering phantom was 122.2 % at a distance of up to 40 cm compared to the coefficient of the point source. In the difference in shielding rate according to the distance between the source and the scattering phantom using a gamma camera, the photo peak area showed similar results, but in the Compton scattering area, the shielding rate of the scattering phantom at a distance of 20 cm increased by 29.2 % compared to the shielding rate of the point source. As the distance increased, the difference in shielding rate decreased. In measuring the shielding rate of the lead apron using a radiation dosimeter, the difference in the shielding rate of the scattering phantom was up to 15.3 %, and as the distance increased, the difference in the shielding rate between the two sources decreased. The shielding rate of the lead apron of the scattering phantom is higher than that of the point source, and the effectiveness of the lead apron increases as the distance to the source increases. As a result, wearing a lead apron when directly confronting a patient who has injected radioactive pharmaceuticals is expected to be helpful in reducing radiation exposure.

The primary factors of the LOS(Line-of-Sight) analysis process are terrain height, camera capacity, and canopy cover. The canopy cover rate differs depending on the changing season, and its value is influenced by the tree density, tree height, and etc. This study generated the canopy cover value based on relationship between NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and DMT(Density Measure % of Tree/Canopy Cover), which is a digital map attribute, and then performed the LOS analysis on six station of test sites. As results, It was found that NDVI and DMT are correlated with each other through the experiments. Based on this finding, new DMT map can be generated using NDVI. Also, There is a difference between the result of visibility analysis using the present DMT and one using a new DMT. Especially, the spatial distributions of the detected visible areas are significantly different between the two visibility analysis results.

This research measured the shielding rates of apron 0.25 and 0.5 mmPb for X-ray energy in diagnosis radiation system and gamma-ray energy of $^{99m}Tc$-MDP and $^{18}F$-FDG. X-ray energies were measured on effective energy of $26.2{\sim}45.6\;keV$ when additional filtering plate of 0, 2 mmAl is used within the range of tube voltage $40{\sim}120\;kVp$, and at this time, apron 0.5 mmPb has shown about 5.5% of increase in its shielding rate over 0.25 mmPb at the highest quality. Besides, the aprons of the two types have shown high shielding rate of over 90% for direct X-ray and spatial dose rate. And, in case 0.25 and 0.5 mmPb aprons were used at 140keV of $^{99m}Tc$-MDP, the shielding effects were between 30 and 53%, and at high energy of 511 keV, $^{18}F$-FDG, the shielding effects of apron, $1.3{\sim}3.6%$, were very small.

In this study, the shielding rate of L-block-type shielding equipment used for radiation protection when radioactive fluorine is injected into the human body and the dose distribution of the space in the injection room were calculated using the Monte Carlo method. The shielding rate of the body and window parts of the L-block-type shielding equipment was 99.99%. The dose distribution calculated at a distance of 1 m was relatively high at 135°, 45°, 225°, 315°, and 180° of the XZ plane, and was calculated to be very low at 0°, 90°, and 270°. In the YZ plane, it was relatively high at 135°, 180°, and 225°, and was calculated very low at the remaining angles. The AZ and BZ planes also showed similar results to the YZ plane. In addition, it was confirmed that the shielding rate was the best in the range of 225° to 315° through the dose distribution in the horizontal direction of the source and the 45° direction above the source. These results can be used as basic data necessary for radiation protection of radiation workers.
