Recently, there are many real life applications that uses drones. There are various applications such as the aerial shot with the drones for the broadcasting service or drone racing competition and so on. Specifically, they patrol for the traffic enforcement on a highway. The police department use the 'Spot Mobility' method which float the drones for 30 minute period. However, this method is inefficient for the wide area with small numbers of enforcement. Therefore, a wireless network system consists of drones to patrol on the highway systematically is required. In this paper, the most efficient routing protocol will be selected for the MANET drone network by applying various routing protocols. To accomplish this, the drone patrol network system with routing protocols are designed and simulated in OPNET simulator.

In this paper, we propose a system for monitoring and controlling the level of the rainwater tank by installing an underground storage tank as one of ways to increase the utilization rate to solve the water shortage and imbalance. For this purpose, a microprocessor of ATMEL's Atmega 128 is used for the control module, and the sensor capable of measuring the water level uses a float type level sensor which is a kind of tactile sensor. In particular, the level sensor outputs the output in a industry standard dimension, so that the compatibility is improved so as to replace the existing sensor.

In this work, we have investigated the application of rapid thermal processing (RTP) and plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) for surface passivation. Rapid thermal oxidation (RTO) has sufficiently low surface recombination velocities (SRV) $S_{eff}$ in spite of a thin oxides and short process time. The effective lifetime is increasing with an increase of the oxide thickness. In the same oxide thickness, The effective lifetime is independent on the process temperature and time. $S_{eff,max}$ is exponentially decreased with increasing oxide thickness. $S_{eff,max}$ can be reduced to 200 cm/s with only 10 nm oxide thickness. On the other hand, three different types of SiN are reviewed. SiN1 layer has a thickness of about 72 nm and a refractive index of 2.8. Also, The SiN1 has a high passivation quality. The effective lifetime and SRV of 1 $\Omega$ cm Float zone (FZ) silicon deposited with SiN1 is about 800 s and under 10 cm/s, respectively. The SiN2 is optimized for the use as an antireflection layer since a refractive index of 2.3. The SiN3 is almost amorphous silicon caused by less contents of N2 from total process. The effective lifetime on the FZ 1 ${\Omega}cm$ is over 1000 ${\mu}s$.

Haze is a local weather phenomenon in which very small droplets float in the atmosphere, and the amount and characteristics of haze may vary depending on the region. In particular, these haze reduce visibility, which can cause air traffic interference and vehicle traffic accidents, and degrade the quality of security CCTVs and so on. Therefore, in the past 10 years, research on haze removal has been actively conducted to reduce damage caused by haze. In this study, local haze removal is performed by weight generation using a haziness degree evaluator to adaptively respond to haze-free, homogeneous haze, and non-homogeneous haze cases. And the proposed method improves the limitations of the existing static haze removal method, which assumes that there is haze in the input image and removes the haze. We also demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method through quantitative and qualitative performance evaluations with benchmark algorithms.

p-type Tunnel Oxide Passivating Contacts (TOPCon) solar cell is fabricated with a poly-Si/SiO_x structure. It simultaneously achieves surface passivation and enhances the carriers' selective collection, which is a promising technology for conventional solar cells. The quality of passivation is depended on the quality of the tunnel oxide layer at the interface with the c-Si wafer, which is affected by the bond of SiO formed during the subsequent annealing process. The highest cell efficiency reported to date for the laboratory scale has increased to 26.1%, fabricated by the Institute for Solar Energy Research. The cells used a p-type float zone silicon with an interdigitated back contact (IBC) structure that fabricates poly-Si and SiO_x layer achieves the highest implied open-circuit voltage (iV_oc) is 750 mV, and the highest level of edge passivation is 40%. This review presents an overview of p-type TOPCon technologies, including the ultra-thin silicon oxide layer (SiO_x) and poly-silicon layer (poly-Si), as well as the advancement of the SiO_x and poly-Si layers. Subsequently, the limitations of improving efficiency are discussed in detail. Consequently, it is expected to provide a basis for the simplification of industrial mass production.

We introduced a stereo camera on the aircraft to detect flight objects and to estimate the 3D position of them. The Saliency map algorithm based on PCT was proposed to detect a small object between clouds, and then we processed a stereo matching algorithm to find out the disparity between the left and right camera. In order to extract accurate disparity, cost aggregation region was used as a variable region to adapt to detection object. In this paper, we use the detection result as the cost aggregation region. In order to extract more precise disparity, sub-pixel interpolation is used to extract float type-disparity at sub-pixel level. We also proposed a method to estimate the spatial position of an object by using camera parameters. It is expected that it can be applied to image - based object detection and collision avoidance system of autonomous aircraft in the future.

Continuous efforts are being made to improve the efficiency of Si solar cells, which is the prevailing technology at this time. As opposed to the standard front-lit solar cell design, the back-lit design suffers no shading loss because all the metal electrodes are placed on one side close to the pn junction, which is referred to as the front side, and the incoming light enters the denuded back side. In this study, a systematic comparison between the two designs was conducted by means of computer simulation. Medici, a two-dimensional semiconductor device simulation tool, was utilized for this purpose. The $0.6{\mu}m$ wavelength, the peak value for the AM-1.5 illumination, was chosen for the incident photons, and the minority-carrier recombination lifetime (${\tau}$), a key indicator of the Si substrate quality, was the main variable in the simulation on a p-type $150{\mu}m$ thick Si substrate. Qualitatively, minority-carrier recombination affected the short circuit current (Isc) but not the opencircuit voltage (Voc). The latter was most affected by series resistance associated with the electrode locations. Quantitatively, when ${\tau}{\leq}500{\mu}s$, the simulation yielded the solar cell power outputs of $20.7mW{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ and $18.6mW{\cdot}cm^{-2}$, respectively, for the front-lit and back-lit cells, a reasonable 10 % difference. However, when ${\tau}$ < $500{\mu}s$, the difference was 20 % or more, making the back-lit design less than competitive. We concluded that the back-lit design, despite its inherent benefits, is not suitable for a broad range of Si solar cells but may only be applicable in the high-end cells where float-zone (FZ) or magnetic Czochralski (MCZ) Si crystals of the highest quality are used as the substrate.

하천유량자료는 이수, 치수, 수질관리 등의 목적으로 널리 사용되기 때문에 여러 가지 수문관측 자료 중 가장 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 우리나라의 유량자료는 여러 가지 한계를 가지고 있어서 수문자료로서 제대로 사용되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 특히 홍수기 부자측정 방법에 의해 산정된 유량자료는 측정 여건, 방법, 기기 등의 한계로 인해 그 정확도가 더욱 낮다. 부자에 의한 유량측정은 일정거리를 유하하는 부자의 유하시간을 측정하여 평균유속을 구하고, 사전에 측량된 횡단면으로부터 유하한 개별 부자의 해당 단면적을 구하여 부분 단면적을 구한다. 구해진 개별 부자의 평균유속과 부분 단면적을 곱하여 부분유량을 산출한 후, 각 부분유량을 합하여 전체 유량을 계산한다. 이와같은 부자법은 유속-면적법이 가지고 있는 흐름 단면적 계산, 평균유속 계산의 불확실도 이외에 유하경로에 의한 불확실도, 부자 유하 시간의 불확실도, 유속 보정 계수의 불확실도 등을 포함한다. 기존 홍수 유량측정에 사용하고 있는 부자법은 육안에 의해 부자의 위치를 파악하고, 가상의 횡단선을 통과할 때 육안으로 관측하여 유하시간을 측정하는 방법이기 때문에 정확한 유량측정에 한계가 있다. 뿐만 아니라 측정에 다수의 인원이 필요하며, 홍수시 많은 비가 내리거나, 야간에 측정하는 경우에는 부자의 식별이 곤란하고 측정 여건이 불량하기 때문에 측정에 큰 애로가 있다. GPS를 이용한 전자부자는 자동으로 유속을 측정하기 위해 기존 홍수유량 측정에 사용하던 부자에 전자장치를 추가하는 것을 말한다. 본 연구에서는 GPS와 RF를 기존 봉부자에 추가하여 봉부자의 유속과 봉부자의 괘적을 측정할 수 있는 전자부자를 개발하였다. 개발한 전자부자는 기존 육안에 의한 방식보다 자동으로 정확한 유속 측정이 가능하며, 동시에 여러 개의 봉부자 사용이 가능하여 측정시간 절감이 가능하고, 비가 내리거나 야간에도 자동으로 측정이 가능한 특징을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서 개발된 전자부자는 3개 주파수 대역을 이용할 수 있도록 개발하여, 총 15개의 부자를 동시에 투하할 수 있도록 개발하였다. 전자부자 시험결과 50m, 100m 구간 유속을 검증한 결과 50m의 경우 최대 평균 5.97%, 평균 2.38%의 상대오차를 나타냈으며, 100m의 경우 최대 5.43%, 평균 1.9%의 상대오차를 나타냈다. 자연하천 유량측정 결과 댐 방류량 대비 기존방법의 경우 약 8.2%의 상대오차를 지니고 있었으며, 전자부자의 경우 약 2.8% 상대오차를 지니고 있어, 기존 부자법에 비해 전자부자법이 5.4%의 상대오차 개선효과를 지니고 있었다. 이와같은 오차의 범위는 실제 하천에서 전자부자를 이용하여 유속측정이 가능함을 나타내는 결과이다.

As a series of fundamental researches on the development of an automatic identification monitoring system for fishing gear. Firstly, the study on the installation method of automated identification buoy for the coastal improvement net fishing net with many loss problems on the west coast was carried out. Secondly, the study was conducted find out how to install an automatic identification buoy for coastal gill net which has the highest loss rate among the fisheries. GPS for fishing was used six times in the coastal waters around Seogwipo city in Jeju Island to determine the developmental status and underwater behavior to conduct a field survey. Next, a questionnaire was administered in parallel on the type of loss and the quantity and location of fishing gear to be developed and the water transmitter. In the field experiment, the data collection was possible from a minimum of 13 hours, ten minutes to a maximum of 20 hours and ten minutes using GPS, identifying the development status and underwater behavior of the coastal gillnet fishing gear. The result of the survey showed that the loss of coastal net fishing gear was in the following order: net (27.3%), full fishing gear (24.2%), buoys, and anchors (18.2%). The causes were active algae (50.0%), fish catches (33.3%) and natural disasters (12.5%). To solve this problem, the installation method is to attach one and two electronic buoys to top of each end of the fishing gear, and one underwater transmitter at both ends of the float line connected to the anchor. By identifying and managing abnormal conditions such as damage or loss of fishing gear due to external factors such as potent algae and cutting of fishing gear, loss of fishing gear can be reduced. If the lost fishing gear is found, it will be efficiently collected.
