L1448-MM, known as a class 0 YSO with a prominent outflow, was observed with the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) aboard Herschel Space Observatory by the key program, DIGIT (Dust, Ice, Gas in Time, PI: Neal Evans). The PACS covers various molecular and atomic line transitions such as CO, OH, $H_2O$, [OI], and [CII] at wavelengths from 55 to 210 ${\mu}m$. The line emission of $H_2O$, [OI], mid-J CO, and the OH fundamental transition distributes along the outflow direction although high-J CO and other OH emission peaks at the central spatial pixel. According to our excitation analysis, the CO gas has two temperature components: 300 K and 750 K, which are attributed to PDR and shock, respectively. However, the $H_2O$ gas with the rotation temperature ($T_{rot}$) of 200 K seems only affected by shock. Interestingly, the relative strength of OH transitions suggests the IR pumping process in L1448-MM. We also mapped L1448-MM in CO J=2-1 with the SRAO 6m telescope to compare with the FIR line transition maps.

This paper presents balancing control of inverted pendulum on the ROBOKER arm using visual information. The angle of the inverted pendulum placed on the robot arm is detected by a stereo camera and the detected angle is used as a feedback and tracking error for the controller. Thus, the overall closed loop forms a visual servoing control task. To improve control performance, neural network is introduced to compensate for uncertainties. The learning algorithm of radial basis function(RBF) network is performed by the digital signal controller which is designed to calculate floating format data and embedded on a field programmable gate array(FPGA) chip. Experimental studies are conducted to confirm the performance of the overall system implementation.

Multichip packaging was achieved the best solution to significantly reduce thermal resistance at the same time, to increase luminance intensity in LEDs packaging application. For the packaging, thermal spreading resistance is an important parameter to get influence the total thermal performance of LEDs. In this study, silicon-based multichip light emitting diodes (LEDs) packaged module has been examined for thermal characteristics in several parameters. Compared to the general conventional single LED packaged chip module, multichip LED packaged module has many advantages of low cost, low density, small size, and low thermal resistance. This analyzed module is comprised of multichip LED array, which consists of 32 LED packaged chips with supplement power of 0.2 W at every single chip. To realize the extent of thermal distribution, the computer-aided design model of 6.4 W Si-based multichip LED module was designed and was performed by the simulation basis of actual fabrication flow. The impact of thermal distribution is analyzed in alternative ways both optimizing numbers of fins and the thickness of that heatsink. In addition, a thermal resistance model was designed and derived from analytical theory. The optimum simulation results satisfies the expectations of the design goal and the measurement of IR camera results. tart after striking space key 2 times.

We propose a novel post-processing algorithm and its very-large-scale integration architecture that simultaneously uses the passive and active stereo vision information to improve the reliability of the three-dimensional disparity in a hybrid stereo vision system. The proposed architecture consists of four steps - left-right consistency checking, semi-2D hole filling, a tiny adaptive variance checking, and a 2D weighted median filter. The experimental results show that the error rate of the proposed algorithm (5.77%) is less than that of a raw disparity (10.12%) for a real-world camera image having a $1,280{\times}720$ resolution and maximum disparity of 256. Moreover, for the famous Middlebury stereo image sets, the proposed algorithm's error rate (8.30%) is also less than that of the raw disparity (13.7%). The proposed architecture is implemented on a single commercial field-programmable gate array using only 13.01% of slice resources, which achieves a rate of 60 fps for $1,280{\times}720$ stereo images with a disparity range of 256.

유도 결합 플라즈마 (ICP)는 축전 결합 플라즈마 (CCP) 보다 상대적으로 높은 밀도의 플라즈마를 발생시킬 수 있다. 또한 구조가 간단하고 기존 스퍼터링 장치의 내부에 추가 설치가 용이하며, 스퍼터된 입자의 이온화, 반응성 가스의 활성화를 위한 2차 플라즈마원으로 적용이 가능하다. 그러나 대면적의 고밀도 플라즈마의 균일도 측정은 고가의 2D probe array등을 사용하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 간단한 CCD camera를 챔버 내부에 삽입하여 가시광 영역의 적분 강도를 이용해서 플라즈마의 2차원적 균일도를 정성적으로 비교 판단하고 시간에 따른 국부적인 이상 방전을 감시할 수 있도록 내장형 무선 카메라를 사용하였다. 직경 380 mm의 챔버 내에 2 turn ICP antenna를 이용하여 유도 결합 플라즈마를 발생시켰다(Ar 30 sccm, 35 mTorr, 2 MHz, 400 W). 내장형 무선 카메라를 챔버 내부 중앙의 ICP antenna에서 8 cm 아래에 위치시켜 플라즈마를 진공 중에서 촬영하였다. 내장형 무선 카메라를 챔버 내부에 위치하여 촬영한 결과 외부에서 view port로 쉽게 확인할 수 없는 ICP antenna 내부의 고밀도 플라즈마의 불균일도를 평가할 수 있었고, ICP antenna 가장자리에서 중심으로 이동할수록 밝아지는 것을 토대로 중심 영역의 plasma 밀도가 가장 높다는 것을 알 수 있었고, 채도와 명도의 차이를 이용하여 시각적인 플라즈마 균일도를 분석하였으며 이를 플라즈마 모델링 기능이 있는 전산 유체 역학 프로그램인 CFD ACE+를 이용하여 플라즈마 분포를 모델링 및 비교하였다. 또한 인라인 타입의 마그네트론 스퍼터링 시스템에서 기판 캐리어에 무선 카메라를 장착하여 이동하면서 캐리어와 마그네트론 방전 공간의 상대적인 위치에 따른 마그네트론 방전링의 형상 변화도 관찰하였다.

In this paper, We studied the possibility of SoC(System On Chip) design using infrared image processing IP(Intellectual Property). And, we studied NUC(Non Uniformity Correction), BPR(Bad Pixel Recovery), and CEM(Contrast Enhancement) processing, the infrared image processing algorithm implemented by IP. We showed the logic and timing diagram implemented through the hardware block designed based on each algorithm. Each algorithm was coded as RTL(Register Transfer Level) using Verilog HDL(Hardware Description Language), ALTERA QUARTUS synthesis, and programed in FPGA(Field Programmable Gated Array). In addition, we have verified that the image data is processed at each algorithm without any problems by integrating the infrared image processing algorithm. Particularly, using the directly manufactured electronic board, Processor, SRAM, and FLASH are interconnected and tested and the verification result is presented so that the SoC type can be realized later. The infrared image processing IP proposed and verified in this study is expected to be of high value in the future SoC semiconductor fabrication. In addition, we have laid the basis for future application in the camera SoC industry.

Position information of radiation interactions in detection material is essential to reconstruct a radiation source image. With most position sensing techniques, the position information of a single interaction inside the detectors can be precisely obtained. Each interaction position of multi-scattering inside scintillators, however, can not be individually measured and only the average of the scattering positions can be obtained, which causes the uncertainty in the measured interaction position. In this paper, the position uncertainties due to the multi-scattering were calculated by Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation model was a 50 by 50 by 5 mm $LaCl_3$(Ce) scintillator(pixel size is 2 by 2 by 5mm) which was utilized for the dual collimation camera. The dual collimation camera uses the information from both photoelectric effect and Compton scattering, and therefore, position uncertainties for both partial and full energy deposition of radiation interactions are calculated. In the case of partial energy deposition(PED), the standard deviations of positions are less than $1{\sim}2mm$, which means the uncertainty caused by multi-scattering is not significant. Because the effect of the multi-scattering with PED is insignificant, the multi-scattering has little effect on the performance of Compton imaging of dual collimation camera. In the case of full energy deposition(FED), however, the standard deviation of the positions is about twice that of the pixel size of the 1stdetector, except for 122keV incident radiations. Therefore, the standard deviations caused by multi-scatterings should be considered in the design of the coded mask of the dual collimation camera to avoid artifact on the reconstructed image. The position uncertainties of the FEDs are much larger than those of the PEDs for all radiation energies and the ratio of PEDs to FEDs increases when the incident radiation energy increases. The position uncertainties of both PEDs and FEDs are dependent on the incident radiation energy.

An infrared thermographic imaging module of [$320{\times}256$] focal-plane array (FPA) based on [InAs/GaSb] strained-layer superlattice (SLS) was fabricated, and its images were demonstrated. The p-i-n device consisted of an active layer (i) of 300-period [13/7]-ML [InAs/GaSb]-SLS and a pair of p/n-electrodes of (60/115)-period [InAs:(Be/Si)/GaSb]-SLS. FTIR photoresponse spectra taken from a test device revealed that the peak wavelength (${\lambda}_p$) and the cutoff wavelength (${\lambda}_{co}$) were approximately $3.1/2.7{\mu}m$ and $3.8{\mu}m$, respectively, and it was confirmed that the device was operated up to a temperature of 180 K. The $30/24-{\mu}m$ design rule was applied to single pixel pitch/mesa, and a standard photolithography was introduced for [$320{\times}256$]-FPA fabrication. An FPA-ROIC thermographic module was accomplished by using a $18/10-{\mu}m$ In-bump/UBM process and a flip-chip bonding technique, and the thermographic image was demonstrated by utilizing a mid-infrared camera and an image processor.

First light galaxies have predictable linear clustering, and are expected to produce fluctuations with a characteristic spatial power spectrum, which peaks at an angular scale of ~ 10 arcminutes and in the $1-2{\mu}m$ spectral regions. The Cosmic Infrared Background ExpeRiment 2 (CIBER2) is a dedicated sounding rocket mission for measuring the fluctuations in the extragalactic infrared background light, following up the previous successful measurements of CIBER1. With a 28.5 cm telescope accompanied with three arms of camera barrels and a dual broadband filter on each H2RG (${\lambda}_c=2.5{\mu}m$) array, CIBER2 can measure 6 bands of wide field ($1.1{\times}2.2$ degrees) up to 3 AB magnitudes deeper than CIBER1. This project is leaded by California Institute of Technology/Jet Propulsion Laboratory, collaborating internationally with Institute of Space and Astronautical Science in Japan, Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, Korea Basic Science Institute, and Seoul National University. The Korean team is in charge of 1) one H2RG scientific array, 2) ground station hardware and software, 3) telescope lenses, and 4) flight and test bed electronics fabrication. In this paper, we describe the detailed activities of the Korean participation as well as the current status of the CIBER2 project.

The purpose of this paper is object recognition even in the presence of occlusion by using generalized Hough transform(GHT). The GHT can be considered as a kind of model based object recognition algorithm and is executed in the following two stages. The first stage is to store the information of the model in the form of R-table (Reference table). The next stage is to identify the existence of the objects in the image by using the R-table. The improved GHT method is proposed for the practical vision system. First, in constructing the R-table, we extracted the partial arc from the portion of the whole object boundary, and this partial arc can be used for constructing the R-table. Also, clustering algorithm is employed for compensating an error arised by digitizing an object image. Second, an efficient method is introduced to avoid Ballard's use of 4-D array which is necessary for estimating position, orientation and scale change of an object. Only 2-D array is enough for recognizing an object. Especially, scale token method is introduced for calculating the scale change which is easily affected by camera zoom. The results of our test show that the improved hierarchical GHT method operates stably in the realistic vision situation, even in the case of object occlusion.
