Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) has been recently developed and widely used because it has advantage to be able to measure surface deformations of engineering components and materials in industrial areas with non-contact. The speckle patterns to be formed with interference and scattering phenomena can measure not only out-of-plane but also in-plane deformations, together with the use of digital image equipment to process the informations included in the speckle patterns and to display consequent interferogram on a computer monitor. In this study, the experimental results of a canti-levered plate using ESPI were compared with those obtained from the simple beam theory. The ESPI results of the canti-levered plate analyzed by 4-step phase shifting method are close to the theoretical expectation. Also, out-of-plane displacements of a spot welded cacti-levered plate were measured by ESPI with 4-step phase shifting technique. The phase map of the spot welded cacti-levered plate is quite different from that of the canti-levered plate without spot welding.

When confocal lenses are applied to a digital holography system, the interference pattern of a larger object size can be recorded on CCD. The angle of incoming light to the CCD can be reduced by the ratio of the two focal lengths of confocal lenses. The recordable spatial frequency is limited by the unit cell size of the CCD. Therefore the spatial frequency of interference on the CCD is lowered by reduction of the incoming light angle. By using confocal lenses , another merit can be achieved that the area of the zero order diffraction is reduced by the square of the ratio of two focal lengths at the numerical reconstruction.

Cross-interferometic synthetic aperture radar (CInSAR) technique from ERS-2 and Envisat images is capable of generating submeter-accuracy digital elevation model (DEM). However, it is very difficult to produce high-quality CInSAR-derived DEM due to the difference in the azimuth and range pixel size between ERS-2 and Envisat images as well as the small height ambiguity of CInSAR interferogram. In this study, we have proposed an efficient method to overcome the problems, produced a high-quality DEM over northern Alaska, and compared the CInSAR-derived DEM with the national elevation dataset (NED) DEM from U.S. Geological Survey. In the proposed method, azimuth common band filtering is applied in the radar raw data processing to mitigate the mis-registation due to the difference in the azimuth and range pixel size, and differential SAR interferogram (DInSAR) is used for reducing the unwrapping error occurred by the high fringe rate of CInSAR interferogram. Using the CInSAR DEM, we have identified and corrected man-made artifacts in the NED DEM. The wave number analysis further confirms that the CInSAR DEM has valid Signal in the high frequency of more than 0.08 radians/m (about 40m) while the NED DEM does not. Our results indicate that the CInSAR DEM is superior to the NED DEM in terms of both height precision and ground resolution.

Modem SAR interferometry (IFSAR) sensors delivering intensity images and corresponding digital terrain model (DTM) allow for a thorough surface lineament interpretation with the all-weather day-night applicability. In this paper, an automatic linear-feature detection algorithm for high-resolution SAR images acquired in Taiwan is proposed. Methodologies to extract linear features consist of several stages. First, the image denoising techniques are used to remove the speckle noise on the raw image. In this stage, the Lee filter has been chosen because of its superior performance. After denoising, the Coefficient of Variation Detector is performed on the result images for edge enhancements and detection. Dilation and erosion techniques are used to reconnect the fragmented lines. The Hough transform, which is a special case of a more general transform known as Radon transform, is a suitable method for line detection in our analysis. Finally, linear features are extracted from the binary edge image. The last stage contains many substeps such as edge thinning and curve pruning.

디지털 홀로그래피(holography) 기술은 3차원 물체의 정보를 디지털 영상으로 기록하고 복원하는 기술이다. PSI(Phase-shifting interferometry) 디지털 홀로그래피는 여러 장의 간섭 패턴 영상으로부터 홀로그램(hologram)을 합성하고, 이로부터 3차원 영상을 복원하는 대표적인 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 PSI 디지털 홀로그램 생성에 사용되는 여러 장의 간섭 패턴 영상의 효율적인 압축 기법을 제안한다. 먼저 네 개의 간섭패턴 영상에서 JPEG2000 기반의 비트율-왜곡(rate-distortion) 특성을 분석한다. 이에 기반하여 주어진 비트량을 일정 크기 단위로 사용할 때, 복원 영상의 왜곡을 가장 효과적으로 줄일 수 있는 간섭 패턴 영상에 우선적으로 비트량을 할당한다. 실험을 통하여 제안하는 알고리듬은 네 개의 간섭패턴 영상마다 동일한 비트량을 할당하여 압축하는 기존의 방법에 비해 비트율-왜곡 측면에서 복원 영상의 왜곡을 더 효과적으로 줄일 수 있음을 확인한다.

광파이버 패브리페로 간섭계에서 동작영역을 넓히기 위해 공진기의 길이를 1mm보다 짧은 초소형 간섭계를 구성하고자 하였을 경우, 광출력의 위상변화에 대한 감도가 낮아 전달함수로부터 변화된 위상을 복원하는 과정이 까다로워진다. 이러한 신호복원 과정에는 대부분 신호잡음비를 높여주는 신호처리 수단을 포함하게 되므로 간섭계가 겪은 위상변화를 보다 높은 신뢰성으로 검출하고자 할 때 어떠한 신호처리 방법이 적절한가하는 선택의 문제가 발생된다. 이는 각각의 신호처리방법이 장단점을 가지므로 응용목적에 따른 trade-off가 필요하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 참조 간섭계와 센서 간섭계 간의 correlation으로부터 위상을 검출하여 시스템의 잡음을 common mode 잡음으로 처리할 수 있었으며, 디지털 신호처리기법을 응용하여 짧은 공진기로 구성된 센서 간섭계의 위상변화분을 보다 안정적으로 검출하게 되었다.

The Gamma Portable Radar Interferometer (GPRI) is a ground-based real aperture radar (RAR) that can acquire images with high spatial and temporal resolution. The GPRI ground-based radar used in this study composes three antennas with a Ku-band frequency of 17.1-17.3 GHz (1.73-1.75 cm of wavelength). It can measure displacement over time with millimeter-scale precision. It is also possible to adjust the observation mode by arranging the transmitting and receiving antennas for various applications: i) obtaining differential interferograms through the application of interferometric techniques, ii) generation of digital elevation models and iii) acquisition of full polarimetric data. We introduced the hardware configuration of the GPRI ground-based radar, image acquisition, and characteristics of the collected radar images. The interferometric phase difference has been evaluated to apply the multi-temporal interferometric SAR application (MT-InSAR) using the first observation campaigns at Pusan National University in Geumjeong-gu, Busan.

The Seoul Radio Astronomy Observatory (SRAO) operates a 6.1-meter radio telescope on the Gwanak campus of Seoul National University. We present the efforts to reform SRAO to a Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) station, motivated by recent achievements by millimeter interferometer networks such as Event Horizon Telescope, East Asia VLBI Network, and Korean VLBI Network (KVN). For this goal, we installed a receiver that had been used in the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy and a digital backend, including an H-maser clock. The existing hardware and software were also revised, which had been dedicated only to single-dish operations. After several years of preparations and test observations in 1 and 3-millimeter bands, a fringe was successfully detected toward 3C 84 in 86 GHz in June 2022 for a baseline between SRAO and KVN Ulsan station separated by 300 km. Thanks to the dual frequency operation of the receiver, the VLBI observations will soon be extended to the 1 mm band and verify the frequency phase referencing technique between 1 and 3-millimeter bands.

A computer simulation about removal of the 0-th order diffraction is achieved by using numerical reconstruction in digital holography and the Fourier transform method. A light intensity distribution hologram is generated through numerical calculation of the interference pattern. Additionally a phase hologram without the 0-th order diffraction is generated. The removal function for elimination of the 0-the order diffraction is introduced and the numerical reconstructions with several conditions for the removal of the 0-th order diffraction and the production of high quality numerically reconstructed images are tested and compared. The removal function is proven to be more effective at the suppression of the 0-th order diffraction compared with the DC suppression method.

The most widespread techniques for DEM generation are stereoscopy for optical sensor images and interfereometry for SAR images. These techniques suffer from certain sensor and processing limitations, which can be overcome by the synergetic use of both sensors and DEMs respectively. In this paper, different strategies for fusing SAR and optical data are combined to derive high quality DEM products. The multiresolution wavelet transform, which take advantage of the complementary properties of SAR and stereo optical DEMs, will be applied for the fusion process. By taking advantage of the fact that errors of the DEMs are of different nature using the multiresolution wavelet transform, affected part are filtered and replaced by those of the counterpart and is tested with two sets of SPOT and ERS DEM, resulting in a remarkable improvement in DEM. For the analysis of results, the reference DEM is generated from digital base map(1:5000).
