FOD(Foreign Object Debris) has the potential threat to damage aircraft during critical phases of take-off and landing roll with some objects including metal on the runway. FOD can be found anywhere on an airport's air operation areas such as runway, taxiway and apron. It can lead to catastrophic loss of life and airframe, and increased maintenance and operating costs. In this paper, we defined FOD and surveyed its riskiness and necessity of automatic FOD detection system. We compared the requirements of the environment in Korea to the FAA advisory circular. Also we analyzed operation methods of FOD detection systems already installed at some airports. Based on the surveys mentioned above, we propose hybrid type of FOD detection system considering the environment in Korea which uses millimeter wave radar, optical camera and thermal imaging camera to detect FOD efficiently. In management approach, fixed type of the system should be installed for real-time monitoring, and mobile type of the system can be used additionally.

The effects of slant interface in the hybrid specimen on the dynamic crack propagation behavior have been investigated using dynamic photoelasticity. The dynamic photoelasticity with the aid of Cranz-Shardin type high speed camera system is utilized to record the dynamic stress field around the dynamically propagating inclined interface crack tip in the three point bending specimens. The dynamic load is applied by a hammer dropped from 0.08m high without initial velocity. The dynamic crack propagation velocities and dynamic stresses field around the interface crack tips are investigated. Theoretical dynamic isochromatic fringe loops are compared with the experimental reults. It is interesting to note that the crack propagating velocity becomes comparable to the Rayleigh wave speed of the soft material of a specimen when slant angle decreases.

I present new near-infrared (NIR) photometry of globular cluster (GC) systems associated to a cD galaxy NGC 4874 in the core of the Coma cluster and 16 early-type galaxies in the Fornax and Virgo clusters of galaxies using the Infrared Channel of the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3/IR) on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Combining these high-resolution NIR data with new HST Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) optical photometry for NGC 4874 and existing ACS GC catalogs from the ACS Fornax and Virgo Cluster Surveys, I have examined for the first time the GC systems in a statistically significant optical/NIR sample of galaxies spanning a wide range of luminosities and colors. A primary goal of this study is to explore empirically whether the distributions of purely optical and hybrid optical - NIR color indices for extragalactic GCs have different forms and whether the relations between these color indices are nonlinear, indicating that they behave differently with underlying metallicity. I find that some GC systems of large galaxies in our sample show color bimodalities that differ between the optical and optical - NIR colors, in the sense that they have disparate ratios of "blue" and "red" peak GCs, as well as differing ratios in their color dispersions. Consistent with these results, I find empirically that the dependence of hybrid optical-NIR color on purely optical color is nonlinear, with an inflection at intermediate metallicities. These findings underscore the importance of understanding the nature of galaxy-to-galaxy variations in the GC color distributions and color-color relations, as well as the exact forms of the color-metallicity transformations, in interpreting the observational data on GC color bimodality. Our ACS data for NGC 4874 shows that its GC system exhibits a very strong blue tilt, implying a very steep mass-metallicity scaling, and the centroid of this GC system is offset by $4{\pm}1kpc$ from the luminosity center of NGC 4874, in the direction of NGC 4872. Finally, I discuss the asymmetrical GC distribution around a dwarf elliptical galaxy in Coma that has a very high relative velocity with respect to the cluster mean at small clustercentric radius.

최근 비행시간 (Time-of-Flight, TOF) 원리에 기반한 깊이 카메라의 등장과 함께 저해상도 깊이 카메라와 고해상도 컬러 카메라로 이루어진 복합형 카메라 시스템 (Fusion Camera System) 이 각광을 받고 있다. 복합형 카메라 시스템에서 취득한 저해상도 깊이맵을 컬러 영상과 같은 영상 평면 (Image Plane) 에 위치시키고 같은 해상도를 가질 수 있게 하려면 카메라 보정 및 3차원 투영, 홀 (Hole) 채우기와 같은 일련의 전처리 과정이 필요하다. 그러나 전처리 과정을 거친 깊이맵은 깊이 카메라의 내부 특성, 카메라 보정의 부정확성 등에 의해 많은 오차를 가진다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 오차가 많은 상황에서도 강건하게 동작하는 깊이맵 업샘플링 방법을 제안한다. 먼저, 전처리 과정을 통해 얻은 깊이 정보의 신뢰도를 컬러 영상과의 상관관계에 기반하여 측정한다. 그리고 낮은 신뢰도의 깊이 정보를 참조하지 않는 수정된 커널 회기법 (Kernel Regression)을 통해 깊이맵과 컬러 영상의 경계 정합을 수행하여 세밀한 깊이 표현이 가능한 고해상도 깊이맵을 형성한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 깊이 정보의 신뢰도 정의와 그에 따른 참조를 통해 카메라 보정 결과가 부정확하더라도 높은 성능의 깊이맵 생성을 보장한다. 실험결과를 통해 기존의 깊이맵 업샘플링 기술보다 제안하는 방법이 더 정확한 깊이 정보를 제공하는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

Sun tracking system is the most important subsystem in parabolic dish type solar thermal power plant, since it determines the amount of thermal energy to be collected, thus affects the efficiency of solar thermal power plant most significantly. Various types of sun tracking systems are currently used. Among them, use of photo sensors to located the sun(which is called sensor type) and use of astronomical algorithm to compute the sun position(which is called program type) are two of the mostly used methods. Recently some uses CCD sensor, like CCD camera, which is called image processing type sun tracking system. This work is concerned with the analysis of sun tracking performance of various types of sun tracking systems currently used in the parabolic dish type solar thermal power plant. We first developed a sun tracking error measurement system. Then, we evaluate the performance of five different types of sun tracking systems, sensor type, program type, hybrid type(use of sensor and computed sun position simultaneously), tracking error compensated program type and image processing type. Experimentally obtained data shows that the tracking error compensated program type sun tracking system is very effective and could provide a good sun tracking performance. Also the data obtained shows that the performance of sensor type sun tracking system is being affected by the cloud significantly, while the performance of a program type sun tracking system is being affected by the sun tracking system's mechanical and installation errors very much. Finally image processing type sun tracking system can provide accurate sun tracking performance, but costs more and requires more computational time.

Major deficiencies of current automation scheme including various robots for bioproduction include the lack of task adaptability and real time processing, low job performance for diverse tasks, and the lack of robustness of take results, high system cost, failure of the credit from the operator, and so on. This paper proposed a scheme that could solve the current limitation of task abilities of conventional computer controlled automatic system. The proposed scheme is the man-machine hybrid automation via tele-operation which can handle various bioproduction processes. And it was classified into two categories. One category was the efficient task sharing between operator and CCM(computer controlled machine). The other was the efficient interface between operator and CCM. To realize the proposed concept, task of the object identification and extraction of 3D coordinate of an object was selected. 3D coordinate information was obtained from camera calibration using camera as a measurement device. Two stereo images were obtained by moving a camera certain distance in horizontal direction normal to focal axis and by acquiring two images at different locations. Transformation matrix for camera calibration was obtained via least square error approach using specified 6 known pairs of data points in 2D image and 3D world space. 3D world coordinate was obtained from two sets of image pixel coordinates of both camera images with calibrated transformation matrix. As an interface system between operator and CCM, a touch pad screen mounted on the monitor and remotely captured imaging system were used. Object indication was done by the operator’s finger touch to the captured image using the touch pad screen. A certain size of local image processing area was specified after the touch was made. And image processing was performed with the specified local area to extract desired features of the object. An MS Windows based interface software was developed using Visual C++6.0. The software was developed with four modules such as remote image acquisiton module, task command module, local image processing module and 3D coordinate extraction module. Proposed scheme shoed the feasibility of real time processing, robust and precise object identification, and adaptability of various job and environments though selected sample tasks.

An assessment of a novel laser-electric hybrid propulsion system was conducted, in which a laser-induced plasma was induced through laser beam irradiation onto a solid target and accelerated by electrical means instead of direct acceleration only by using a laser beam. A fundamental study of newly developed rectangular laser-assisted pulsed-plasma thruster (PPT) was conducted. On discharge characteristics and thrust performances with increased peak current compared to our previous study to increase effects of electromagnetic forces on plasma acceleration. Maximum peak current increased for our early study by increasing electromagnetic effects in a laser assisted PPT. At 8.65 J discharge energy, the maximum current reached about 8000 A. Plasma behaviors emitted from a thruster in various cases were observed with an ICCD camera. It was shown that the plasma behaviors were almost identical between low and high voltage cases in initial several hundred nanoseconds, however, plasma emission with longer duration was observed in higher voltage cases. Canted current sheet structures were also observed in the higher voltage cases using a larger capacitor. With a newly developed torsion-balance type thrust stand, thrust performances of laser assisted PPT could be estimated. The impulse bit and specific impulse linearly increased. On the other hand, coupling coefficient and the thrust efficiency did not increase linearly. The coupling coefficient decreased with energy showing maximum value (20.8 ？Nsec/J) at 0 J, or in a pure laser ablation cases. Thrust efficiency first decreased with energy from 0 to 1.4 J and then increased linearly with energy from 1.4 J to 8.6 J. At 8.65 J operation, impulse bit of 38.1 ？Nsec, specific impulse of 3791 sec, thrust efficiency of 8 %, and coupling coefficient of 4.3 ？Nsec/J were obtained.

대면적 터치패널은 현재까지 저항막 방식, 적외선, Camera 방식을 주로 사용하고 있다. 저항막 방식의 Sensitivity, 높은 가격, 적외선 방식의 경우 빛의 간섭에 의한 오동작이 일어날 수 있는 문제를 가지고 있다. 최근의 Mobile용 터치스크린은 정전용량 방식의 터치기술 채택으로 저항막, 적외선, Camera 방식의 모든 단점을 해소할 수 있으나 터치 스크린 면적이 커지게 되면서 요구저항을 맞출 수 없는 문제로 현재 크기의 제한적이다. 본 연구에서는 완전일체형 터치(G2 Touch Hybrid) 방식의 ITO 터치필름을 사용하지 않고, 강화유리 기판을 사용하여 저(低)저항, 고(高)투과, 대형화(15 Inch), 경량화를 고려한 Zero-gap ITO를 코팅한 커버 유리용 투명전극에 대하여 전기적, 광학적, 구조적, 표면적 특성을 분석하였다. ITO 박막의 두께를 최소화하여 패턴 인비저블의 특성을 갖는 것이 필요로 하는데, 이는 ITO박막 패턴후에 패턴이 보이지 않게 하기 위해서이며, 이러한 시장의 요구를 충족하기 위해 RF/DC 고자력 Magnetron Sputtering System을 사용하여 면저항 $80{\Omega}$/${\Box}$, 표면특성 Rp-v 2.1 nm, 최고 광투과율 90.5%@550 nm, 반사율 차이 0.5 이하의 특성을 확인하였다. 또한, 저항 경시변화를 줄이기 위해서 Sheath heater를 이용한 진공코팅 중 발생되는 BM Ink out-gassing을 줄여 out-gassing에 의한 박막 손상을 줄일 수 있었으며 진공 성막중 결정성을 갖는 ITO 막을 형성시킬 수 있었다.

Implementing flexible production systems in domestic and foreign automotive design parts assembly has increased demand for automation and power reduction. Consequently, transition to a hybrid production method is observed where multiple vehicles are assembled in a single assembly line. Multiple robots, 3D vision sensors, mounting positions, and correction software have complex configurations in the automotive glass mounting system. Hence, automation is required owing to significant difficulty in the assembly process of automobile parts. This study presents a primer lighting and inspection algorithm that is robust to the assembly environment of real automotive design parts using high power 'ㄷ'-shaped LED inclined lighting. Furthermore, a 2D camera was developed in the primer coating inspection system-the core technology of the glass mounting system. A primer application demo line applicable to the actual automobile production line was established using the proposed high power lighting and algorithm. Furthermore, application inspection performance was verified using this demo system. Experimental results verified that the performance of the proposed system exceeded the level required to satisfy the automobile requirements.
