This paper introduces the design techniques of an IR module using the 2-D array un-cooled type infrared detector which is applied to the individual combat weapon. Considering the size and weight of the hand carried weapon system, we used a very small-sized detector and applied an adaptive temperature control algorithm so that the operation consumed with low power can be possible. We applied the AR(Auto Regressive) filter to improve the signal-to-noise ratio in a thermal image processing step. We also applied the plateau equalization and boundary enhancement techniques to improve the visibility for human visual system.

As the global to increase the wind power penetration in the power system, grid-integration standards have been proposed for the stable integration of the large-scale wind farm. Particularly, the low voltage ride through function has been emphasized, as it relates to the voltage and reactive power control of the wind turbine and the rest generators. This paper proposes the non-wind power generator control method in order to improve the wind power penetration. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed strategy, the simulation study is implemented in the Jeju power system. It can improve the wind power penetration by the effective control of the control generators.

The intermittent characteristics of wind power (WP) may have negative effect on grid stability, especially in weak grid. WP fluctuation rate can be reduced by using energy storage system (ESS) through charging and discharging. The operation of ESS will decide its losses and lifetime of batteries. From this point, this paper proposes WP smoothing control by using short-term average of WP. In this case, the ESS will only operate at high WP fluctuation rate. Then, the output power of ESS will be estimated by short-term average value. The effectiveness of proposed method will be verified by comparing with conventional method. The simulation results will be carried out by using Matlab program.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive contrast control method for the flat real-time processing. The proposed method has employed probability density function(PDF) in order to control a sudden change in image-brightness. In addition, the proposed algerian obtains the maximum contrast without affecting the processed image. In order to reduce hardware complexity, we have utilized approximated CDF based on sampling values. Visual test and standard deviation of their histogram have been introduced to evaluate the resultant output images of at: proposed method and the original ones.

In a power system with a high wind power penetration level, the output power of a wind power plant (WPP) might give negative impacts on the frequency control of a power system. This paper proposes a power smoothing scheme of a wind turbine generator (WTG) to reduce the frequency deviation. To do this, an additional control loop is used, the output of which depends on the frequency deviation. The gain of the additional loop is determined depending on the kinetic energy (KE) of a WTG; in the under frequency condition, the gain is set to be proportional to the releasable KE of a WTG; otherwise, it is set to the maximum value. The performance of the proposed scheme is investigated for 100-MW doubly-fed induction generator based WPP using an EMTP-RV simulator under various wind conditions. The results show that the proposed scheme successfully reduces the frequency deviation.

For the realization of future intelligent transportation systems, fine-grained lane-by-lane traffic monitoring and control functionalities are among the most important technology barriers to overcome. To satisfy the accuracy requirement for traffic monitoring, a GNSS receiver network is designed. The designed receiver network consists of three different types of entities; reference server, broadcaster, and client. For deployment flexibility, all the entities utilize the international message standard RTCM SC-104 version 3.0. For fine-grained traffic monitoring, the client is designed to utilize position-domain carrier-smoothed-code filters to provide accurate vehicle coordinates in spite of frequent addages and outages of visible satellites. An experiment result is presented to evaluate the positioning accuracy of the proposed method.

For efficient use of wood, it is important to control moisture of wood in processing wood. Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy can be used to estimate the physical and chemical properties of materials quickly and nondestructively. In this study, it was intended to measure the moisture contents on the surface of wood using NIR spectroscopy coupled with multivariate analytic statistical techniques. Because NIR spectroscopy is affected by the chemical components of the specimens and contains signal noise, a regression model for detecting moisture content of wood was established after carrying out several numerical pretreatments such as Smoothing, Derivative and Normalization in this study. It shows that the regression model using NIR absorbance in the range of 750~2,500 nm predicts the actual surface moisture content very well. Near-infrared spectroscopy technique developed in this study is expected to improve a technology to control moisture content of wood in using and drying process.

Time-lapse crosswell seismic data, recorded before and after the cavity filling, showed that the filling increased the velocity at a known cavity zone in an old mine site in Inchon area. The seismic response depicted on the tomogram and in conjunction with the geologic data from drillings imply that the size of the cavity may be either small or filled by debris. In this study, I attempted to evaluate the filling effect by analyzing velocity measured from the time-lapse tomograms. The data acquired by a downhole airgun and 24-channel hydrophone system revealed that there exists measurable amounts of source statics. I presented a methodology to estimate the source statics. The procedure for this method is: 1) examine the source firing-time for each source, and remove the effect of irregular firing time, and 2) estimate the residual statics caused by inaccurate source positioning. This proposed multi-step inversion may reduce high frequency numerical noise and enhance the resolution at the zone of interest. The multi-step inversion with different starting models successfully shows the subtle velocity changes at the small cavity zone. The inversion procedure is: 1) conduct an inversion using regular sized cells, and generate an image of gross velocity structure by applying a 2-D median filter on the resulting tomogram, and 2) construct the starting velocity model by modifying the final velocity model from the first phase. The model was modified so that the zone of interest consists of small-sized grids. The final velocity model developed from the baseline survey was as a starting velocity model on the monitor inversion. Since we expected a velocity change only in the cavity zone, in the monitor inversion, we can significantly reduce the number of model parameters by fixing the model out-side the cavity zone equal to the baseline model.
