의료용 X-ray의 발전에 따라, 영상의 Digital화가 필요하게 되었다. Digital 영상 구현을 위해 다양한 형태의 영상 검출기가 개발되었다. 진단 영상의 조건으로는 구현 시간이 빠르고 해상도가 높아야 한다. 조건에 부합하는 Flat panel 형태의 직접방식과 간접방식 검출기의 개발이 주로 이루어졌으며, X-ray 검출 효율이 높고 공간 분해능이 높은 직접 방식의 검출기에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 기존 직접방식의 X-ray 검출물질로는 A-Se이 이용되었다. 하지만 A-Se의 경우 낮은 원자번호로 인해 X-ray에 대한효율이 낮으며, 제조 공정과 수율의 문제로 인해 대체 물질의 개발과 공정의 개선이 필요하다. 선행 연구를 통해 X-ray 검출물질의 전기적 특성을 파악을 통해 대체 물질로서 가능성을 알아보았다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 제작된 X-ray 검출물질의 상부전극 증착 물질과 증착법 선정에 대한 연구이다. 선행 연구를 통해 선정된 X-ray 검출물질은 HgI2이다. 상, 하부 전극 선택에 있어 HgI2의 일함수 값(4.15eV)을 고려하여 그와 비슷한 일함수 값을 가진 물질로 전기적 장벽을 제거하여야 한다. 따라서, ITO (일함수 4.45eV)와 Au (일함수 5.1eV)을 선택하였다. ITO의 증착으로 이용된 방법으로는 on-axis 형태의 magnetron plasma sputtering을 이용하였으며, Au의 증착으로 이용된 방법은 Thermal evaporation deposition을 이용하였다. plasma sputtering에 이용된 타겟은 In2O3;SnO2 (조성비:90:10wt%)를 사용하였으며, Chamber의 크기는 넓이 456 ${\phi}cm^2$ 높이 25 cm이며, 로 target과 기판과의 거리는 15cm이다. plasma발생에 필요한 가스로는 Ar과 O2를 이용하였다. 고 진공 환경 조성에 이용된 장비로는 Rotary pump와 Turbo molecular pump이다. plasma 발생 전 진공도는 $3.2{\times}10^{-5}$ Torr, 발생 후 진공도는 $5.1{\times}10^{-5}$ Torr이다. plasma 환경이 조성된 후 증착 시간은 1분 30초이다. Au는 순도 99.999%를 이용하였으며, 이용된 금은 1회 증착에 0.3 g을 이용하였다. Chamber의 넓이 1,444 ${\phi}cm^2$이며, 높이 40 cm, boat와 기판과의 거리는 25 cm이다. 고 진공 환경 조성에 이용된 장비로는 Rotary pump와 diffusion pump를 이용하였다. Au의 승화 전 진공도는 $2.4{\times}10^{-5}$ Torr 증착 시 진공도는 $4.2{\times}10^{-5}$ Torr이며, Boat에 가해준 전압, 전류는 0.97 V, 47 A이며, 증착 시간은 1분 30초이다. 광도전체 층에 각각 증착된 전극의 저항을 통해 증착상태를 판단하였다. DMM (Digital Multimeter)로 1 cm 간격으로 측정된 표면의 저항은 ITO 약 $8{\Omega}$, Au 약 $3{\Omega}$으로 전극으로서 이용이 가능한 상태이다. Au와 ITO가 증착된 HgI2 시편의 전기적 특성은 기존에 이용된 X-ray 변환물질의 성능보다 우수하였다. 하지만 Au와 ITO가 각각 증착된 시편의 전기적 특성은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. ITO의 경우 진공 상태에서 이용되는 Gas가 이용되며, Plasma 환경 조성 유지가 어려운 점이 있다. Au전극은 증착 환경 조성이 쉽지만, 전극 물질 이용효율이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 본 연구를 통해 X-ray 변환물질인 HgI2의 전극물질로 Au와 ITO의 이용가능성을 알아보았다. 두 전극으로 제작된 검출기의 성능은 큰 차이 없이 우수하였고, 전기적 장벽 상태가 낮아 높은 검출 효율을 보였다. 상대적으로 Au 전극의 공정이 간단하고 수율이 높다. 하지만 Au Source의 이용 효율이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 공정상의 유리함과 Source의 이용효율을 고려한 분석에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Since no medium-sized anchovies for skipjack baits are caught during the winter season in the Korean waters, the demand for the live baits in the winter season is met with crawl-stocked anchovies. Authors conducted a test on the wintering of the anchovies which were caught in the early November and acclimated for 22days in a crawl. The wintering crawl was kept in the inlet near Chungmu City, which is situated in the southern coast of Korea, for 4 months through December 1, 1971 to March 31, 1972. 1. The lowest water temperature of $7.2^{\circ}C$ recorded on March 1, caused no significant mortality of the wintering anchovies. However, two operations, moving the crawl and repacling the crawl webbing, brought about a considerable mortality. The mortality of the anchovies, due to the crawl moving to the wintering place two kilometers away from the transient acclimating place, amounted to 1.5 percent in 9 days following the crawl moving. The replacement of the fouled crawl webbing with a new one also caused a mortality amounting to 1.7 percent in 5 days. 2. It is judged that the favorable wintering waters lie in the south and southeast coasts of Keoje Island, the south and southwest coast of Chungmu City, coasts around Namhae Island, and the east coast of Dolsan Island. Jinhae Bay is not suited for the wintering because of its low water temperature in winter 3. The wintering anchovies wvere fed, once a day through the test period, with 4 kg of finely minced fresh anchovy for 57days in the early period, and with 2kg of compound pellet fish food for the rest of the period. Fatness coefficient of the wintering anchovies showed a slight increase in the latter half of the period.

Point-by-point data, which is abundantly collected by vehicles with embedded GPS (Global Positioning System), generate useful information. These data facilitate decisions by transportation jurisdictions, and private vendors can monitor and investigate micro-scale driver behavior, traffic flow, and roadway movements. The information is applied to develop app-based route guidance and business models. Of these, speed data play a vital role in developing key parameters and applying agent-based information and services. Nevertheless, link speed values require different levels of physical storage and fidelity, depending on both collecting and reporting intervals. Given these circumstances, this study aimed to establish an appropriate collection interval to efficiently utilize Space Mean Speed information by vehicles with embedded GPS. We conducted a comparison of Probe-vehicle data and Image-based vehicle data to understand PE(Percentage Error). According to the study results, the PE of the Probe-vehicle data showed a 95% confidence level within an 8-second interval, which was chosen as the appropriate collection interval for Probe-vehicle data. It is our hope that the developed guidelines facilitate C-ITS, and autonomous driving service providers will use more reliable Space Mean Speed data to develop better related C-ITS and autonomous driving services.

In order to promptly respond to disasters, the era of new spaces has opened where satellite images with various characteristics can be used. As the number of satellites in operation at home and abroad increases and the characteristics of satellite sensors vary, it is necessary to find satellite images optimized for disaster types. Disaster types were divided into typhoons, heavy rains, droughts, forest fires, etc., and the optimal satellite images were selected for each type of disaster considering satellite orbits, active/passive sensors, spatial resolution, wavelength bands, and revisit cycles. Each satellite orbit TLE (Two Line Element) information was applied to the SGP4 (Simplified General Perturbations version 4) model to develop a satellite orbit simulation algorithm. The developed algorithm simulated the satellite orbit at 10-second intervals and selected an accurate observation area by considering the angle of incidence of each sensor. The satellite orbit simulation algorithm was applied to the case of Typhoon Mitag in 2019 and compared with the actual satellite list. Through the analyzed results, the time and area of the captured image and the image to be recorded were analyzed within a few seconds to select the optimal satellite image according to the type of disaster. In the future, it is intended to serve as a basis for building a system that can promptly request and secure satellite images in the event of a disaster.

In this paper, the method is discussed such that the robustness of automatic initiated narrowband target tracking is improved in passive sonar. In the case of automatic tracking initiation as target in passive sonar, due to a number of clutter, the clutter is initiated as target and tracked which prohibits the operation capability. The associated probability and information entropy of measurements, extracted from detection data, is calculated to keep going on automatic target initiation and tracking of true target, but reduce the automatic initiation and tracking of clutter. If the association probability and information entropy of the extracted measurements is satisfied for the predefined conditions, the procedure of automatic initiation begins. Using sea-trial data, simulations are executed and the results from the proposed method indicate that it keeps the automatic target initiation and tracking of true target and suppresses the automatic target initiation and tracking of clutters in contrary to the conventional method.

This study proposes a method to quickly and accurately acquire distance information on direction signs. The proposed method is composed of the recognition of the sign, pre-processing to facilitate the acquisition of the road sign distance, and the acquisition of the distance data. The road sign recognition uses color detection including gamma correction in order to mitigate various noise issues. In order to facilitate the acquisition of distance data, this study applied tilt correction using linear factors, and resolution correction using Fourier transform. To acquire the distance data, morphological operation was used to highlight the area, along with labeling and template matching. By acquiring the distance information on the direction sign through such a processes, the proposed system can be output the distance remaining to the next junction. As a result, when the proposed method is applied to system it can process the data in real-time using the fast calculation speed, average speed was shown to be 0.46 second per frame, with accuracy of 0.65 in similarity value.

In order to evaluate imaging performance of newly developed digital radiography system which requires scanning time as short as 0.7 sec and patient exposure as low as 3 mR, we have investigated its imaging and physical properties such as sensitivity characteristic, scatter fraction, detective quantum efficiency, modulation transfer function, and contrast detail diagram. The results show that the digital radiography system has linear sensitivity to the incident energy, and superior contrast resolving power with less X-ray exposure than conventional film-screen system. These performances are resulted from excellent scatter rejection capability and high detective quantum efficiency of digital radiography system.

The basic experiments on the plastic sea eel pots used in fishing were carried out in order to investigate the elasticity of the funnel ribs, hydrodynamic resistance, sinking time and diffusion of the bait from June to October, 1987. The elasticity of the bamboo funnel ribs was higher than that of the polypropylene ribs up to the load 150g. The hydrodynamic resistance R (kg) of the pots towing to the head direction horizontally in relation to towing velocity V (m/sec) was expressed as following formula; R=0.36V super(2.01) and coefficient of drag C sub(D) was 0.52. The sinking times of the covered pots by tape fully or partially were late 1-2 second than the typical pots within the water depth 7.5m. The diffusion tendency through the covered pots using dye and sardine extracts solution was concentrated to the entrance more than the typical pots. However, fishing efficiency as number and weight of fish per pots for nine times fishing operation was revealed no difference between the covered pots and the typical pots.

We have designed a real-time Cardiac digital substraction angiography system (C-DSA) and tested the system for the diagnosis of Cardiac patients. The system was developed by interfacing a radiographic angiography system to a computerized motional image analysis system. This new cardiac DSA can perform the real time processing of averaging and subtraction of the 32 image frames to measure the volume changes of the left ventricle after elimination of motional artrifacts, caused by the heart contraction of beats per minute in average. Each frame has a resolution of 512 x 512 pixels and 256 gray levels. Two image data with maximal and minimal volume were moved to the interfaced IBM PC computer system by high speed computer link line for computation of the heart's contraction parameters. First, the boundary of the left ventricule was detected using a dynamic programming of the gray levels, and its volume was computered to determine the parameters, such as the maximal volume of end-diastolic volume (EDV), the minimal volume of end systolic volume (ESV), and ejection fraction (EF).
