KOMPSAT-2, the first Korean high resolution earth observing satellite, continuously acquires high resolution images since July 2006. The quality of satellite images should be geometrically and radiometrically ensured before distribution to users. This study focused on absolute radiometric calibration which is a prerequisite procedure to ensure the radiometric quality of optical satellite images. In this study, we performed reflectance-based vicarious calibration methods on several uniform targets collected through several field campaigns in 2007. The radiative transfer model, MODTRAN, was used to estimate the amount of energy received at the sensor. The energy reached at the sensor are affected by several factors such as reflectance of targets, atmospheric condition, geometry condition between Sun and the sensor, etc. This study proposes the absolute radiometric calibration coefficients of KOMPSAT-2 MSC images combining several types of collected data through field works and tried to compare dynamic range of sensor-detected energy with other commercial high resolution sensors.

The design formular of optical focusing systems cannot be applied to ultrasonic B scanners, which use broadband pulses instead of continuous wave. In this paper, a calculation method is studied for analyzing the propagation of ultrasonic broadband pulse excited by ultrasonic array transducers. Using the results, seveial design parameters such as the number of transducer elements, delay time, and the focal point are determined to obtain high resolution in the ultrasonic dynamic focusing system. A dynamic focusing system with low-noise switching characteristics; which attains lateral resolution of 2-3mm all along the axial direction up to 18 cm with a 3.5 MHz linear array transducer, was implemented.

A variety of solid bases such as inorganic bases, basic anion exchange resins, and resin-bound bases were tested as a catalyst for racemization of (S)-naproxen 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl thioester in isooctane at 45$^{\circ}C$. Among the various bases, DIAIOM WA30, which is a weakly basic anion exchange resin with a tertiary amine based on a highly porous type styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer, showed the highest catalytic activity. The second-order interconversion constant of DIAION WA30 was 8.6${\times}$10$\^$-4/ mM$\^$-1/h$\^$-1/ and about 3 times higher than that of trioctylamine under the same conditions. The rate of DIAION WA30-catalyzed racemization decreased with increasing an amount of water added to the reaction medium. Lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of racemic naproxen 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl thioester was successfully carried out under in situ racemization of substrate with DIAION WA30 in isooctane at 45$^{\circ}C$. More than 60% conversion and 99% enantiomeric excess for the desired (S)-naproxen product were obtained. Furthermore, such a solid base catalyst could be easily separated and reused in contrast to trioctylamine.

Recent research efforts have focused on combining high dynamic range imaging with super-resolution reconstruction to enhance both the intensity range and resolution of images. The processes developed to date start with a set of multiple-exposure input images with low dynamic range (LDR) and low resolution (LR), and require several procedural steps: conversion from LDR to HDR, SR reconstruction, and tone mapping. Input images captured with irregular exposure steps have an impact on the quality of the output images from this process. In this paper, we present a simplified framework to replace the separate procedures of previous methods that is also robust to different sets of input images. The proposed method first calculates weight maps to determine the best visible parts of the input images. The weight maps are then applied directly to SR reconstruction, and the best visible parts for the dark and highlighted areas of each input image are preserved without LDR-to-HDR conversion, resulting in high dynamic range. A new luminance control factor (LCF) is used during SR reconstruction to adjust the luminance of input images captured during irregular exposure steps and ensure acceptable luminance of the resulting output images. Experimental results show that the proposed method produces SR images of HDR quality with luminance compensation.

In the case of a vibration sensitive equipment, it require a vibration free environment to provide its proper function. Especially, lithography and inspection device, which have sub-nanometer class high accuracy and resolution, have come to necessity for producing more improved Giga Class semi conductor wafers. This high technology equipments require very strict environmental vibration criteria in proportion to the accuracy of the manufacturing. In this paper, the dynamic analysis and modal test were performed to evaluate the dynamic properties of the constructing clean room structure. Based on these results, a structural dynamic modification(SDM) were required to satisfiy the vibration allowable limit for pression machine. Therefore, in order to improve the dynamic stiffness of clean room structure, the VSD system which can control the force applied on structure, were adopted and its utility were proved from dynamic test results of the improved structure after a modification work.

In this paper, camera modules and lens's images were analyzed for the compensation of distortion image by wide angle lens based WDR(Wide Dynamic Range) with high resolution sensor(2-Mega CMOS Image sensor). Due to wide angle ($176^{\circ}$) of designed wide angle camera modules, the compensation result of distorted image was analyzed, and the application of these modules was proposed for smart NUX(Natural User eXprience).

In other words, we suggested framework based on a bottom-up approach, which is allowed to integrate data from the network of the lowest level sequentially and perform automated matching in order to produce variable-scale map. Finally, we applied designed multi-LoD model to in-vehicle application.

Accurately predicting localized heavy rainfall is challenging without high-resolution mesoscale cloud information in the numerical model's initial field, as precipitation intensity and amount vary significantly across regions. In the Korean Peninsula, the radar observation network covers the entire country, providing high-resolution data on hydrometeors which is suitable for data assimilation (DA). During the pre-processing stage, radar reflectivity is classified into hydrometeors (e.g., rain, snow, graupel) using the background temperature field. The mixing ratio of each hydrometeor is converted and inputted into a numerical model. Moreover, assimilating saturated water vapor mixing ratio and decomposing radar radial velocity into a three-dimensional wind vector improves the atmospheric dynamic field. This study presents radar DA experiments using a numerical prediction model to enhance the wind, water vapor, and hydrometeor mixing ratio information. The impact of radar DA on precipitation prediction is analyzed separately for each radar component. Assimilating radial velocity improves the dynamic field, while assimilating hydrometeor mixing ratio reduces the spin-up period in cloud microphysical processes, simulating initial precipitation growth. Assimilating water vapor mixing ratio further captures a moist atmospheric environment, maintaining continuous growth of hydrometeors, resulting in concentrated heavy rainfall. Overall, the radar DA experiment showed a 32.78% improvement in precipitation forecast accuracy compared to experiments without DA across four cases. Further research in related fields is necessary to improve predictions of mesoscale heavy rainfall in South Korea, mitigating its impact on human life and property.

Information on temporal evolution of whole velocity fields is essential for physical understanding of a complicated turbulent flow and was obtainable using dynamic PIV because of advances of high-speed imaging technique, laser and electronics. A dynamic PIV systme consists of a high-speed CMOS camera having $1K\times1K$ pixels resolution at 1 KHz and a high-repetition Nd:Yag pulse laser. In order to validate its performance, the dynamic PIV system was applied to a turbulent jet whose Reynolds number is about 3000. The particle images of $1024\times512$ pixels were captured at a sampling rate of 4 KHz. The dynamic PIV system measured successfully the temporal evolution of instantaneous velocity fields of the turbulent jet, from which spectral analysis of turbulent structure was also feasible.
