  • An all-digital closed-loop (ADCL) signal processor for an open-loop FOG was developed to replace the analog circuitry of a Digital Phase Tracking (DPT) signal processor with new digital circuitry. When the ADCL signal processor without a stabilizer for fiber phase modulator (FPM) was attached to the FOG, temperature drift of FOG was about 0.26$\mu$rad/$^{\circ}C$, which makes the FOG unusable in medium or higher-grade applications. This drift was due to variations of phase modulation amplitude and phase delay of the FPM. The stabilizer controls its phase modulation amplitude and phase delay by regulating the ratio of harmonics of the FOG output. Thus, the stabilizer reduces the drift of the FOG to negligible.

  • A signal processor is implemented to verify the possibility of a closed-loop signal processing for the open-loop fiber-optic gyroscope (FOG). As an all-digital implementation of phase tracking scheme, it does analog-to digital conversion of the detector output and signal processing all-digitally thereafter for a noise-immune FOG signal processor. It has a potential of 36-bits resolution in the $2\pi$ range which is best in the number and sets no limit in the magnitude of the phase shift. The new signal processor was tested on an all-fiber gyroscope and turned out to have a resolution of $3\mu$rad(corresponds to 0.74 deg/hr), which is good enough to measure the Earth's rotation rate.

  • In this paper, we propose a technique for high speed removal of sea-fog using a graphic processor. This technique uses a host processor(CPU) and several graphics processors(GPU) capable of parallel processing to remove sea-fog from the input image. In the process of removing sea-fog, the dark channel extraction, the maximum brightness channel extraction, and the calculation of the transmission are performed by the host processor, and the process of refining the transmission by applying the bidirectional filter is performed in parallel through the graphic processor. To verify the proposed parallel processing method, three NVIDIA GTX 1070 GPUs were used to construct the verification environment. As a result, it takes about 140ms when implemented with one graphics processor, and 26ms when implemented using OpenMP and multiple GPGPUs. The proposed a parallel processing algorithm based on the graphics processor unit can be used for safe navigation, port control and monitoring system.

  • A new digital serrodyne (DS) signal processor for the close-loop fiber optic gyroscope was designed and implemented. It is based on a new algorithm that can solve the remaining problems of the existing digital serrodyne processing by utilizing a new modulation wavefonn. The algorithm was implemented in an FPGA and tested. Theoretical limit and experimental value of the random walk were measured to be 2.6 and 3.3 deg/hr/$\sqrt{Hz}$, respectively. And drift of the processor is smaller than that by Shupe's effect.effect.

  • A Signal processor for the open-loop fiber optic gyroscope(FOG) is equipped with a stabilizer to reduce the error due to drift of fiber phase modulator (FPM). The stabilizer is designed to be operated to maintain the ratio of amplitude and phase between harmonics in the FOG signal. When FPM stabilizer is used, the temperature drift of FOG is reduced to less than 0.5 deg/hr in change of 20$^{\circ}C$.

  • The interferometric fiber optic gyroscopes (FOGs) are well known as sensors of rotation, which are based on Sagnac effect, and have been under development for a number of years to meet a wide range of performance requirements. This paper describes the development of open-loop FOG and digital signal processing techniques implemented on FPGA. Our primary goal was to obtain intermediate accuracy (pointing grade) with a good bias stability (0.22deg) and scale factor stability, extremely low angle random walk (0.07deg) and significant cost savings by using a single mode fiber. A secondary goal is to design all digital FOG signal processing algorithms with which the SNR at the digital demodulator output is enhanced substantially due to processing gain. The Cascaded integrator bomb(CIC) type of decimation filter only requires adders and shift registers, low cost processors which has low computing power still can used in this all digital FOG processor.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the qualities of the four different processing chemicals (solutions). Materials and Methods: With EP 21 films(Ektaspeed plus film, Kodak Co., USA), nine unexposed and nine exposed films of a step wedge were processed utilizing automatic film processor(XR 24, Durr Co., Germany) for 5 days. During 5 days, the total number of processed films including out-patient' s intraoral films were about 400-500 for each brand. Base plus fog density, film density, contrast of processed films were measured with densitometer(model 07-443 digital densitometer, Victoreen Co., USA). These measurements were analyzed for comparison. Results: The results were as follows, 1. For the base plus fog density. there was significant difference among the four chemicals (p<0.05). The sequence of the base plus fog densities was in ascending order by Kodak, X-dol 90. Agfa and Konica. 2. For the film density. all chemicals showed useful range of photographic densities(0.25-2.5). The sequence of the film densities was in ascending order by Kodak, X-dol 90, Konica and Agfa. But there was no statistically significant difference of film density between X-dol and Kodak (p<0.05). 3. The sequence of the contrasts was in ascending order by Konica, X-dol 90, Kodak and Agfa. But there was no statistically significant difference of contrast between X-dol and Konica (p<0.05). Conclusion: These results indicated that the four processing chemicals had clinically useful film density and contrast. but only Kodak processing chemical had useful base plus fog density.

  • To inquire its usefulness of the clinical application of intelligent replenishment system of automatic X-ray film processor based on film density, we processed the serial 300 sheets of radiographic film of chest [$14{\times}14"$, HR-C type] and bone [elbow & ankle($8{\times}10"$), skull($10{\times}12"$), hand & foot($11{\times}14"$), pelvis($14{\times}17"$), HR-G type, 68, 70, 77, 85 sheets respectively]. We analyzed the characteristic corves, relative speeds, average gradients and base plus fog densities every twenty five sheets. We also evaluated the developer and fixer replenishment volumes every that time. In the chest and bone radiograph two all, the characteristic curves were little change, and the relative speeds, average gradients and base plus fog densities were within the maximum control limits. The average developer replenishment volumes were about 43m1/sheet and 39m1/sheet respectively. It brings decreased results about 29% in comparison with the conventional replenishment system. In our experiences, we conclude that the intelligent replenishment system of automatic X-ray film processor based on film density maintains image quality consistently, decreases also the replenishment volumes. Therefore, this system will be resulted in economic and environmental effects, and solve problems of over and low replenishment volume.
