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.

Infrared signals are frequently used to detect objects exposed to wide variety of environmental conditions. Detection by infrared signature is accomplished by distinguishing objects by using the IR radiant contrast between objects and the background. There are several methods of estimating the IR radiant contrast. The inverse distance weighting method, which is one of the IR radiant contrast estimation method using the effect of distance from objects, is known to be an effective way to analyze radiant contrast for complex backgrounds. However this method has a disadvantage of requiring a long calculation time. In this study we propose a statistical method of estimating the IR radiant contrast by using randomly selected pixels of arbitrary number among background pixels to reduce calculation time. Some measured IR images in MWIR and LWIR regions are used to test the applicability of the method proposed and we found that the proposed method is very effective in determining the IR radiant contrast showing very rapid estimation with minar accuracy loss.

콘크리트 구조물의 안전진단을 위해 충격반향기법(Impact Echo method, IE)과 충격응답기법(Impulse Response method, IR)을 이용하여, 콘크리트 모형 하부의 공동 유무에 따른 탐사 결과를 분석하였다. 콘크리트 모형은 순수 콘크리트 부분과 철근+콘크리트 부분으로 나누고, 공동의 유무에 따라 각 기법의 적용에 의한 반응 변화를 관찰하였다. 이 연구에 앞서 수행한 GPR과 IE 및 IR 기법의 복합 적용 결과, IE 및 IR 기법이 철근의 영향을 크게 받지 않고 공동존재 여부에 따른 반응이 비교적 잘 나타나는 것으로 파악되었다. 본 연구에서는 선행 연구 결과를 토대로 IE와 IR 기법의 활용도를 높여서 보다 정확한 콘크리트 구조물의 안전진단 기법을 개발하고자 하였다. GPR과 같은 비파괴 조사 기법과 달리, IE 및 IR 기법은 측정이 이루어지는 위치를 정확히 알 수 있어 각 측점의 콘크리트 두께와 하부 공동의 반응을 보다 정확히 파악할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 연구 결과, IE 기법에서는 공진주파수보다 낮은 저주파수에서 나타나는 작은 피크 구간이 공동에 의한 반응으로 보이며, IR 기법에서는 주파수에 따른 운동성(mobility)과 동적 강성도(dynamic stiffness)의 변화를 통해 공동의 유무를 확인할 수 있었다. 이 연구에서 제안한 방법은 콘크리트 구조물의 보수 보강에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

The modern infrared (IR) imaging systems use mainly one or more wavelength bands among short wavelength IR (SWIR), middle wavelength IR (MWIR), and long wavelength IR (LWIR) bands. In the process of IR image synthesis and modeling, IR image wavelength-band conversion which transforms arbitrary band image to other band one is required. The wavelength-band conversion procedure includes a temperature estimation process of an object surface. However, in this procedure, an approximated Planck's radiation equation causes errors in estimated temperature. In this paper, we propose an estimation temperature error attenuation method in IR image band conversion procedure. The estimated temperature is corrected with a slope information of radiance according to it. The corrected temperature is used for generation of the other band IR image. The verification of proposed method is demonstrated through the simulation.

UV-IR camera is being used for predictive maintenance of high voltage equipment together with measurement of temperature on localized heat and corona discharge. This paper was suggested the judgement method that is the discharge count, UV image pattern and discharge matching rate to apply the UV-IR camera on power facility. The discharge count method is counted by UV image pixel value. the UV image pattern method is determined by the UV image shape using neural network algorithm method, separated by Sunflower, Jellyfish, Ameba. The UV discharge matching is compare the breakdown the UV image size and measuring UV image size according to distance.

Recovery of valuable metals in the industrial wastewater and sludge has attracted an attention owing to limited metallic resources in the earth. In this study, we firstly fabricated Ti/Ir-Ru electrodes by spin coating technique for effective recovery of Cu in electrowinning process. Two different Ti/Ir-Ru electrodes were fabricated using 100 and 500 mM of precursors (i.e., Ir-Ru). SEM-EDX and AFM revealed that Ir and Ru were homogenously distributed on the surface of Ti plate by the spin coating, in particular the electrode prepared by 500 mM showed distinct boundary line between Ir-Ru layer and Ti substrate. XRD, XPS, and cyclic voltammetry also revealed that characteristics of IrO₂, RuO₂, and TiO₂ and its electrocatalytic property increased as the concentration of coating precursor increased. Finally, we carried out Cu recovery experiments using two Ti/Ir-Ru as anodes in electrowinning process, showing that both anodes showed a complete removal of Cu (1 and 10 g/L) within 6 h reaction, but much higher kinetic rate constant was obtained by the anode prepared by 500 mM. The findings in this study can provide a fundamental knowledge for surface characteristics of Ti/Ir-Ru electrode prepared by spin coating method and its potential feasibility for effective electrowinning process.

An infrared image synthetic method is proposed for infrared system simulation. The synthesis image uses a background IR image captured from real scene and a target IR modeling image. The radiances related with maximum and minimum temperatures of the background and target images are calculated from the Planck's blackbody equation. Based on them, the background and target images are compensated and synthesized. The proposed method is simulated and the IR target images are generated by RadThermIR software.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study was to develop an impact resonance (IR) test procedure for thin disk-shaped specimens in order to determine the ${\mid}E^*{\mid}$ and phase angle values of various asphalt mixtures. METHODS : An IR test procedure was developed for evaluating thin disk-shaped specimens, in order to determine the dynamic modulus (${\mid}E^*{\mid}$) of various asphalt mixtures. The IR test method that was developed to determine the elastic modulus values of Portland cement concrete was evaluated, which method uses axisymmetric flexural vibration proposed by Leming et al. (1996). The IR tests were performed on three different mixtures of New York with varying nominal maximum aggregate sizes (NY9.5, NY19, and NY25) at six different temperatures ($10-60^{\circ}C$). The ${\mid}E^*{\mid}$ values obtained from the IR tests were compared with those determined by the commonly used AASHTO T342-11 test. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS : The IR test method was employed to determine the ${\mid}E^*{\mid}$ values of thin-disk-shaped specimens of various asphalt mixtures. It was found that the IR test method when used with thin disk-like specimens is a simple, practical, and cheap tool for determining the ${\mid}E^*{\mid}$ values of field cores. Further, it was found the ${\mid}E^*{\mid}$ values obtained from the IR tests using thin disk-like specimens were almost similar to those obtained using the AASHTO T342-11 test.

본 논문은 GrabCut 알고리듬을 기반으로 적외선(infrared; IR) 영상에서 물체를 배경으로부터 분할하는 방법을 제안한다. GrabCut 알고리듬은 관심 있는 물체를 둘러싸는 윈도우가 필요하며, 이는 사용자가 설정한다. 그렇지만 이 알고리듬을 영상 시이퀀스에서 물체인식에 적용하려면 윈도우의 로케이션이 자동으로 결정되어야만 한다. 이를 위해서 본 논문에서는 Otsu 알고리듬으로 한 영상에서 관심은 있으나 알져지지 않는 물체를 적당히 분할하고 블랍 해석을 통해 윈도우를 자동으로 로케이션한다. 그랩 컷 일고리듬은 관심있는 물체와 배경의 확률분포를 추정해야한다. 이 경우에 관심 있는 물체의 확률분포는 자동으로 로케이션된 윈도우 내부의 화소들로부터 추정하고, 배경의 확률 분포는 물체의 윈도우를 둘러싸고 면적은 동일한 영역으로부터 추정한다. 다양한 IR 영상에 대한 분할 실험을 통해 제안한 분할 방법이 IR 영상의 분할에 적합함을 보이고, 기존의 IR 영상 분할 방법과의 비교 및 분석을 통해 제안 알고리듬이 우수한 분할 성능을 보임을 증명한다.
