In this paper we propose an efficient marker tracking system that exploits IR and web cameras. The proposed method solves the marker swap problem and allows for fast and responsive marker tracking. We use color information gathered from the IR reflector to assign a unique identification to each marker. We can locate each marker withthe IR camera and also identify the marker uniquely by using color information provided by the web camera. The experiment results show that marker swapping can be eliminated effectively. Furthermore, our approach allows for faster and more responsive marker tracking.

In this paper, a simple optical method that uses an infrared(IR) cut filter is proposed to minimize variation of eye image by external infrared(IR) sources in a video based head mounted eye tracking system that is used in the field of sports. For this, the IR cut filter is attached to a head mount of the eye tracking system, and the camera with an IR LED is located between the IR cut filter and eye. In this structure, external IR is blocked by the IR cut filter, and the IR intensity on the eye can be controlled by the IR LED. Therefore, the illumination condition of the camera to capture the eye can be stable without being affected by external IR illuminations. To verify the proposed idea, variation of the eye image and intensity of the IR with/without the IR cut filter is measured under various illumination conditions. The measured data show that the IR cut filter method can block external IR effectively, and complex pupil detection algorithms can be replaced by a simple binarized method.

FOD is a generic term for substances with potential threats that can pose a fatal risk to aircraft. Therefore, FOD should be noted in all areas of the airport. Especially, the method of detecting and collecting FOD in runway and aircraft movements is very low efficiency and economical efficiency of airport operation, so it is essential to develop FOD automatic detection system suitable for domestic environment. As part of the aviation safety technology development project, the development of an automatic detection system for foreign matter in the moving area of the aircraft inside the airport is underway. In this paper, it is confirmed that EO / IR camera is used for detection of foreign objects at Taean Airfield of Hanseo University. EO camera is used during the day and IR camera is used at night.

This paper presents a composite camera calibration method to determine thermal degradation of power distribution equipment by combining an infrared (IR) camera and a color camera. A calibration jig was first constructed to match the properties of the two cameras. Our calibration and visualization techniques allow for the display of two images, one from the color camera and the other from the IR camera with different field of views (FOVs), on the screen at the same time. To confirm its validity, several case studies have been developed to analyze thermal deterioration limits of indoor and outdoor power distribution facilities.

This paper proposes a design and development plan for a control program for the MX-10 EO/IR camera. This camera is a piece of mission equipment mounted on the multi-purpose unmanned helicopter (MPUH) system. Operators must be able to control the necessary functions of the camera to perform their assigned tasks. To achieve this, the function to control the camera was analyzed, and a control program was developed. In addition, the control program was linked to a joystick for convenient operation of the camera by the operator.

This study was aimed to detect area of Submaine Groundwater Discharged(: SGD) around Jeju island using by remote sensing. Sea Surface Temperature(SST) was identified using IR camera on Unmaned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) at Gimnyeong port in study area. Then SGD location was detected by comparing range of SGD temperature. Generally, range of SGD temperature is distributed 15 to 17 like underground water. The result, SGD location was detected by SST distribution of Gimnyeong port recorded by IR camera in the southwest of study area.

감시 카메라에서 야간 시간대의 영상 품질은 매우 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 IR LED Camera 에서 적외선 LED 를 사용한 회로적 제어를 통한 노출 제어에 문제점을 분석하고, 이를 해결하기 위한 적응적 배경 모델링과 IR 카메라의 특화된 객체 검출 방법을 제안한다. 노출 제어 방식의 배경을 제외한 적응적 배경과 객체의 합성으로 향상된 야간 영상획득 방식을 제안한다. 영상 개선 실험 결과는 기존의 회로적 노출 제어 방식의 영상보다 제안하는 방식이 프로세스의 단순화를 통한 비용 절감 효과와 야간 영상 품질 향상의 우수성을 보여준다.

In the industry, the automation of brazing system is very important using the vision senor and the edge detection of the bronze pipe. And also, the accurate coordination is needed for the finding of the precise location. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for the measurement of 3D information of the brazing material and the detection algorithm of soldering area using the camera and IR sensor. We use Canny edge detector in noisy environments. The experimental study shows that camera and IR sensor is useful for the measurement of distance in the brazing work.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to propose a quality control and quality assurance method for use during asphalt pavement construction using non-destructive methods, such as ground penetrating radar (GPR) and an infrared (IR) camera. METHODS : A 1.0 GHz air-coupled GPR system was used to measure the thickness and in situ density of asphalt concrete overlay during the placement and compaction of the asphalt layer in two test construction sections. The in situ density of the asphalt layer was estimated based on the dielectric constant of the asphalt concrete, which was measured as the ratio of the amplitude of the surface reflection of the asphalt mat to that of a metal plate. In addition, an IR camera was used to monitor the surface temperature of the asphalt mat to ensure its uniformity, for both conventional asphalt concrete and fiber-reinforced asphalt (FRA) concrete. RESULTS : From the GPR test, the measured in situ air void of the asphalt concrete overlay gradually decreased from 12.6% at placement to 8.1% after five roller passes for conventional asphalt concrete, and from 10.7% to 5.9% for the FRA concrete. The thickness of the asphalt concrete overlay was reduced from 7.0 cm to 6.0 cm for the conventional material, and from 9.2 cm to 6.4 cm for the FRA concrete. From the IR camera measurements, the temperature differences in the asphalt mat ranged from $10^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$ in the two test sections. CONCLUSIONS : During asphalt concrete construction, GPR and IR tests can be applicable for monitoring the changes in in situ density, thickness, and temperature differences of the overlay, which are the most important factors for quality control. For easier and more reliable quality control of asphalt overlay construction, it is better to use the thickness measurement from the GPR.
