We proposed a new algorithm to improve the calculation speed of forward ray tracing method which was quite a problem in conventional Monte Carlo algorithm. To verify the accuracy and the effect of improving calculation speed, we directly compared integrating sphere characteristics with conventional ray tracing algorithm under the same condition which was referred in a reference paper. By applying new algorithm to an absolute reflectometer, we calculated the degree of errors which were caused by baffle and port characteristics to find optimal system design condition.

Forward modelling of ground penetrating radar (GPR) data is implemented using a new finite element ray tracing technique. The method is different from conventional ray tracing techniques in that the radar cross section of buried targets, the effective area of the receiving antenna, and the attenuation along the raypath are computed. The forward models are used to understand radar signatures measured across various ground structures which are important in detecting engineering hazards at construction sites, void spaces beneath simulated road beds, as well as a learning tool to avoid pitfalls in radargram interpretation. Forward modelling of radar data also can be used in predicting possible structures present at cultural property sites.

In this study, it was studied about the improved road light design for drivers and pedestrians using forward or reverse ray-tracing method. Many of conventional road lights are not suitable for drivers and pedestrians because it has some serious problems such as glare effect or randomicity of illuminated areas. It was oriented from customary design method which was pointed at simple target such as luminance or electrical power. But it was not truth any more that the high luminance or electrical power consumption mean more bright and good road light. We studied ray-tracing method for road light reflector design to get the several goals. It means that good road light has easy for drivers and pedestrians eyes and illuminating objects on the road clearly. So, we set the design targets such as uniformity on the road area per one road light, shading angles and continuous luminance uniformity on the long distance road. We designed ideal road light conditions using ray-tracing method. We set the height of drivers and pedestrians eyes and calculated design guideline to make above design targets. Then we designed road light reflector using reverse ray-tracing method. And we achieved same luminance on the road almost half power consumption because we reduced loss of light. We achieved ideal design guide as 75 degrees of shading angles and 0.5 of luminance uniformity on the road area. It is superior than conventional road light ability such as 0.35 of luminance uniformity of 400 watts power consumption lamp. Finally, we suggested reflector design for 250 watts power consumption CDM Iight source.

본 논문은 3차원으로 표현된 가상의 옥외 공간에서 소음이 전파되는 방법을 컴퓨터로 시뮬레이션하기 위한 방법을 제시한다. 소음은 음원에서 발생하여 수음자로 직접전파 혹은 많은 반사를 거쳐서 간접적으로 전파되기도 한다. 결과적으로 수음자에 들리는 소음은 음원과 수음자 사이의 최단 거리, 반사 거리, 반사횟수 등에 따라 영향을 받으며, 반사시키는 물체의 특성 및 주파수에 따라서 전달되는 양의 차이가 있을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 음원에서 수음자에 전달되는 소리를 추적함에 있어서 정방향 추적 (forward tracing)을 사용하는 방법에 대한 문제점들을 제시하고, 다른 접근방법인 기하학적 계산에 의한 시뮬레이션 방법을 제시한다. 즉 소리 추적벡터 (tracing vector)를 정의함에 있어서 음원에서 발생하는 소리벡터를 추적하는 정방향 추적 및 음원과 수음자간 발생 가능한 전파 경로를 기하학적으로 계산하는 기하학적 추적 방법에 의한 시뮬레이션 방법을 제시한다. 기하학적 계산 방법은 정방향 추적을 사용하는 경우와 비교할 때 불필요하게 버려지는 추적 벡터의 수를 현저히 줄일 수 있으므로 효과적 이라고 할 수 있다. 실험결과는 가상현실 모델링 언어 (VRML: Virtual Reality Modeling Language)로 가시화해서 보다 명확하게 알아볼 수 있다. 본 방법은 3차원 가상현실 (virtual reality)이나 멀티미디어 (multimedia), 또는 실내, 실외 등의 소음측정 시뮬레이션에도 적용이 가능하므로 확장성이 좋다고 할 수 있다.

This study aims to develop a vision inspection system for screw threads. To inspect external defects in screw threads, the vision inspection system was developed using front light illumination from which bright images can be obtained. The front light system, however, requires multiple side images for inspection of the entire thread surface, which can be performed by omnidirectional optics. In this study, an omnidirectional optical system was designed to obtain annular images of screw threads using an image sensor and two reflection mirrors; one large concave mirror and one small convex mirror. Optical simulations using backward and forward ray tracing were performed to determine the dimensional parameters of the proposed optical system, so that an annular image of the screw threads could be obtained with high quality and resolution. Microscale surface defects on the screw threads could be successfully detected using the developed annular inspection system.

Remote-sensing optical payloads, especially hyperspectral imagers, have particular issues with stray light because they often encounter high-contrast target/background conditions, such as sun glint. While developing an optical payload, we usually apply several stray-light analysis methods, including forward and backward analyses, separately or in combination, to support lens design and optomechanical design. In addition, we often characterize the stray-light response over a full field to support calibration, or when developing an algorithm to correct stray-light errors. For this purpose, we usually use forward analysis across the entire field, but this requires a tremendous amount of computational time. In this paper, we propose a sequence of forward-backward-forward analyses to more effectively investigate the through-field response of stray light, utilizing the combined advantages of the individual methods. The application is an airborne hyperspectral imager for creating hyperspectral maps from 900 to 1700 nm in a 5-nm-continuous band. With the proposed method, we have investigated the through-field response of stray light to an effective accuracy of 0.1°, while reducing computation time to 1/17^th of that for a conventional, forward-only stray-light analysis.

본 논문에서는 탄성파 굴절법 탐사자료를 이용하여 천부지층의 속도와 심도를 결정하기 위한 새로운 접근방법을 소개한다. 굴절법 자료로부터 초동을 발췌한 후 실제 합성단면도를 이러한 초동의 시간이동에 해당하는 단위 델타 함수로 대치할 수 있다고 가정하였다. 주시의 계산은 발사법 파선추척을 이용하였다. 감쇠 최소자승법의 적용을 위한 편미분치의 계산은 이론주시의 계산과 동시에 해석적으로 구하였다. 본 역산법은 합성자료와 현장자료에 적용하여 성공적인 결과를 가져왔으며, 초기 가정 모델이 실제 모델과 많이 다르더라도 저주파수 대역에서 매우 양호한 결과를 보여주는 장점을 지닌다.

탄성파 토모그래피 중에서 많이 사용되는 2차원 시추공-시추공 주시 토모그래피는 파선각이 제한됨에 따라 분해능이 저하되므로, 본 논문에서는 감소된 분해능을 향상시키기 위한 방법들을 검토해 보았다. 토모그래피 역산 과정은 파선의 위치 및 주시에 대한 오차에 민감하므로 선형 주시 보간법을 사용하여 파선을 추적하였으며, 다른 파선 추적법들에 의한 역산결과와 비교하여 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 반복적 비선형 역산 과정에 있어서, 파선경로의 추적에 소요되는 계산 시간을 줄이기 위해서 일정 계산과정 동안 선형성을 고려하였으며 그 결과 빠른 수렴을 얻을 수 있었다. 일반적으로 역산과정에서는 적절한 초기 모델의 선정이 계산 결과에 많은 영향을 미치므로, 인공 신경망을 이용하여 획득된 주시로부터 초기속도 모델을 계산하였다. 지구물리학에서 인공 신경망법으로 많이 쓰이는 다층 전향 신경망은 내재된 단점들 때문에 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 없었으므로, 본 연구에서는 GRNN신경망을 이용하였다. 인공 신경망으로부터 계산된 초기모델을 역산에 사용함으로써 분해능을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 그러나 파선 투과각이 넓은 경우나 탐사 대상체가 매우 복잡한 구조를 가지는 경우에는 초기모델이 역산결과에 큰 영향을 주지 않았다. 지구물리학적 토모그래피에서는 파선의 투과각이 제한을 받게되는 경우가 많으므로, 이럴 경우 인공 신경망을 이용하여 초기 모델값을 계산함으로써 역산 결과 생성되는 단면도의 분해능을 향상시킬 수 있다.

Mine detection has been mainly studied with images of the forward-looking sonar. Forward-looking sonar assumes the propagation path of the sound wave as a straight path, creating the surrounding images. This might lead to errors in the detection by ignoring the refraction of the sound wave. In this study, we propose a mine localization method that can robustly identify the location of mines in an underwater environment by considering the refraction of sound waves. We propose a method of estimating the elevation angle of arrival of the target echo signal in a single receiver, and estimate the mine location by applying the estimated elevation angle of arrival to ray tracing. As a result of simulation, the method proposed in this paper was more effective in estimating the mine localization than the existing method that assumed the propagation path as a straight line.

This paper dealt with the condensing technology of an LED light source that uses a parabolic reflector to replace a searchlight equipped with a xenon lamp. A ray-tracing simulation was conducted to analyze the influence of the diameter of the reflector and the size of the light source on light condensing. The combination of a parabolic reflector with a diameter of 620 mm and a focal distance of 220 mm, and a 9 mm multi-chip package (MCP) with a luminous flux of 7,000 lm showed the narrowest beam angle. The luminous intensity at the center was measured at 7.7×10⁶ cd. The distance between the light source and the point where the illuminance was 1 lx was calculated to be 2.8 km. The power consumption of the system was 95 W, which is only 9.5% of that of the 1 kW xenon searchlight, and the beam angle was 1.03°. In a site experiment, it was confirmed that the light ray reflected from the LED searchlight proceeds forward without any diffusion because of the narrow beam angle.
