Successful implementation of infrastructure asset management system can be started with rich and reliable data. However, measurement errors in the data have always existed in the real world caused for many unknown reasons. It disturbs maintenance activities of agencies, and makes negative effects to reliability of research results on forecasting deterioration process and life cycle cost. Above all, it makes a contradiction that road agencies cannot believe their inspection data surveyed by their hands. It is particularly serious in the road pavement management field. Although road agencies are well recognized the fact, inspecting without measurement error would be a great challenge. Considering the facts, this paper aimed to suggest statistical error processing methods to correct latent error included in pavement surface inspection data. As alternatives, this paper suggested two methods based on probability distribution to consider structure of error and reliability of the data. The suggested methods were empirically tested by using pavement inspection data from Korean National Highway. As the result, this paper confirmed that conventional error processing that just removes only visible errors is not enough to cover uncertainty in pavement deterioration process. The suggested methods would be useful for improving reliability of analysis results required for road infrastructure asset management.

In the sheet metal forming operations, the strain measurement of sheet panel is an essential work which provides the formability information needed in die design, process design, and product inspection. To measure efficiently complex geometry strains, the 3-dimensional automative strain measurement system, which theoretically has a high accuracy but practically has about 3～5％ strain error, is often used. For eliminating the strain error resulted in measuring the strains of formed panels using an automated strain measurement system, the position error calibration method is suggested, which computes accurate strains using the grids with accurate nodal coordinates. The accurate nodal coordinates are calculated by adding the nodal coordinates measured by the measurement system and the position error found using the multiple regression method as a function of the main error parameters obtained from the analysis of strain error in a standard cube. For the verification, the strain distributions of square and dome cups obtained from the position error calibration method are compared with those provided by the finite element analysis and ASAME.

Purpose: There is no established inspection system for composite wind blade during the fabrication stage even though the blades are one of the most important part at wind generation system, but phased array ultrasonic testing method has been continuously studied about wind turbine blade with composite. When wind turbine blade with complex shape by phased array probe is inspected, it is necessary to study for system keeping constant pressure using pressure device. Methods: In this paper, we propose constant pressure device for inspecting wind turbine blade by phased array ultrasonic test method. Design of the device controller is based on Hunt-Crossley model. We evaluate reliability of phased array ultrasonic inspection result that applicated constant pressure device. Result: Defect indication is precise and its error is small when constant pressure mechanism based on Hunt-Crossley model was used. Conclusion: When inspection is progressed using constant pressure mechanism, the reliability of composite wind blade inspection can be improved.

In this paper, to evaluate the output quality of the cementitious composite mixture for printing with the ME method for construction 3D printer, visual inspection of the output appearance and the dimensional error rate, compressive strength and flexural strength of the output were measured. As a result of the test, the mixing design with excellent output appearance was P1-2, P1-4, P2-5, P2-6, and the mixing design with good output appearance was P0-1, P1-1, P1-3, P1-6, P1-7 and P2-4. Of these mixing designs, P0-1 and P2-6 had the lowest dimensional error rates As a result of evaluating the compressive strength and flexural strength of the various mixing designs, the Mixing design with excellent output designs showed good mechnical properties. However, mixing designs with excellent mechanical properties does not necessarily have excellent output quality. Therefore, in order to accurately evaluate the output quality, it is judged that visual inspection and dimensional error rate inspection should be performed first, and then the mechanical characteristics should be reviewed.

About 70% -80% of the serious injury that occure in the chemical product small manufacturing industries is caused by human error. but technical development for analysis and inspection to preestimate and exclude such human error is still insufficient. Small - to - medium sited enterprises are economically vulnerable and technical foundations for safety management is week Under such circumstances development of easy to use computerized support programs that can be operated without the help of professioanals are keenly needed.

In LED chip packaging, die bonding is a very important process which fixes the LED chip on the lead flame to provide enough strength for the next process. During the process, inspection processes are very important to detect exact locations of dispensed epoxy dots and to determine bonding status of dies whether they are lies at exact positions with sufficient bonding strength. In this study, a useful machine vision based inspection system is proposed for the LED die bonder. In the proposed system, 2 cameras are used for epoxy dot position detection and 2 cameras are sued for die attaching status determination. New vision processing algorithm is proposed, and its efficiency is verified through required field experiments. Measured position error is less than $X:-29{\mu}m$, $Y:-32{\mu}m$ and rotation error:$3^{\circ}$ using proposed vision algorithm. It is concluded that the proposed machine vision based inspection system can be successfully implemented on the developed die bonding system.

Since the quality of the coated wires is in various applications dependant on the coating depth, accuracy of hole size of dies used for coating wires must be maintained precisely, in general within one micron. This paper proposes a new vision system which measures automatically the size and shape of small holes having diameters less than 1mm within an error limit of 1 micron. To quickly obtain the focused image, this paper proposes an estimation method of the camera position using only a couple of defocused hole images. It measures the distributions of light intensity around the image boundary and decides the direction and distance of a camera motion. The proposed system measures the size, shape distortion, inclination of the hole against the axis of the dies structure, to decides the acceptability of the dies for use. The proposed algorithm has been implemented using a cheap 640${\times}$480 image system and has shown an average size error of 1micron when measuring the dieses having 0.1mm to 1.0mm diameters. It can be applied to the inspection of the size and position of holes in PCB, too.

Experimental results show that a positioning error is nearly negligible and a repeatability error is 0.04%. Accordingly the developed control system can be applied practically to actuate a robot end-effector for inspection and maintenance of steam generator heat pipe in nuclear power plant.

Modification of the phase gradient formulation is proposed in order to make phase retrieval less susceptible to noise. The modified formulation is derived from separation of the phase terms and the intensity modulation terms of interferograms, and subsequent differentiation to reduce the noise-induced error of the phase gradient vector. Its performance is evaluated and compared to that of the conventional formulation, and noise-robust nature is confirmed.
