The compact camera assembled into Smart phone is required to have higher resolution level in non AF state than existing handsets, and it is also requested to have higher degree of accuracy, more consistent repetitiveness, and faster auto focusing speed. Algorithm based on a mechanical position of the existing actuator has been discussed. Therefore, in this thesis I suggest an improved algorithm concerning the problem of unstable resolution level in non AF state and auto focusing speed.

본 논문에서는 태양전지 모듈의 표면 오염으로 인한 태양광발전량의 감소를 사전 예방하기 위해 영상기술을 이용한 표면 오염도 자동검출 기술에 대해 논의하였다. 일반적인 태양광발전시스템의 경우 태양전지 모듈의 표면 오염원 제거를 위해 사람에 의한 수동적인 방법에 의존하는 것이 현실이나, 커다란 규모의 태양광 발전시설의 경우는 인력으로 오염원을 제거하는 것은 거의 불가능 하다. 이러한 관점에서 태양전지 모듈 표면에 떨어진 오염 물질로 인한 출력감소를 사전에 예방하고, 시스템을 효율적으로 운영하기 위해 이미지 영상기술이 적용되었다. 본 기술은 기본적으로 레이저 광원과 먼지와 상호 interaction을 통해 생성된 반사파 및 이를 CCD 영상으로 획득하고 태양전지 모듈 표면의 오염원의 유무, 균일/불균일 분포 등의 3가지 서로 다른 조건을 설정하여 비교 시험을 수행하였고, 개발된 오염측정 시스템을 수상 태양광 발전 파일럿 설비에 적용하여 운전성능을 검증하였다.

Development of die technology for holder and barrel dies is necessary according to minimization of lens assembly, image sensor, and connectors. In these cases, there are two technical problems arising from die design. One is determination of knock-out pin location in die set. Minimization of lens assembly size make it difficult to obtain ejecting space. The other is whether or not high-precision die technology is possible to reduce torque variation when holer and barrel products is assembled. In this study, multi-cavity die set was developed taking advantage of gear-driven ejecting method. In the developed technology, die manufacturing technology was guaranteed with a high-precision level.

Aspheric polymer lens fabrication using isothermal compression molding is presented in this paper. Due to increasing definition of an image sensor, higher precision is required by a lens which can be used as a part of an imageforming optical module. Injection molding is a factory standard method for a polymer optical lens. But achievable precision using injection molding has a formidable limitation due to the machining of complex mold structure and melting and cooling down a polymer melt under high pressure condition during forming process. To overcome the precision requirement and limitation using injection molding method, isothermal compression molding is applied to fabrication of a polymer optical lens. The fabrication condition is determined by numerical simulations of temperature distribution and given material properties. Under the found condition, the lens having a high precision can successfully be reproduced and does not show birefringence which results often in optical degradation.

By using beam-projectors, we can easily configure a big image system. In the process of installing beam-projectors, however manual steps are essentially needed to perform a calibration such that distortions can be minimized. In order to automatically perform the correction of distortion, in this paper we propose a new auto-calibration method for beam-projector, which is based on Zigbee and can be easily implemented by simple hardware and software. In the proposed scheme, we recognize the required image project area by using Zigbee-based sensor module, and then we can obtain the best beam projection even in the case that the screen is badly twisted.

Surface reflectance obtained by absolute atmospheric correction from satellite images is useful for scientific land applications and analysis ready data (ARD). For Landsat and Sentinel-2 images, many types of radiometric processing methods have been developed, and these images are supported by most commercial and open-source software. However, in the case of KOMPSAT 3/3A images, there are currently no tools or open source resources for obtaining the reflectance at the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) and top-of-canopy (TOC). In this study, the atmospheric correction module of KOMPSAT 3/3A images is newly implemented to the optical calibration algorithm supported in the Orfeo ToolBox (OTB), a remote sensing open-source tool. This module contains the sensor model and spectral response data of KOMPSAT 3A. Aerosol measurement properties, such as AERONET data, can be used to generate TOC reflectance image. Using this module, an experiment was conducted, and the reflection products for TOA and TOC with and without AERONET data were obtained. This approach can be used for building the ARD database for surface reflection by absolute atmospheric correction derived from KOMPSAT 3/3A satellite images.

This paper proposes the AMCS(Agricultural Machine Control System that distinguishes farms using satellite photos or drone photos of farms and controls the self-driving and operation of farm drones and tractors. The AMCS consists of the LSM(Local Server Module) which separates farm boundaries from sensor data and video image of drones and tractors, reads remote control commands from the main server, and then delivers remote control commands within the management area through the link with drones and tractor sprinklers and the PSM that sets a path for drones and tractors to move from the farm to the farm and to handle work at low cost and high efficiency inside the farm. As a result of AMCS performance analysis proposed in this paper, the PSM showed a performance improvement of about 100% over Dijkstra algorithm when setting the path from external starting point to the farm and a higher working efficiency about 13% than the existing path when setting the path inside the farm. Therefore, the PSM can control tractors and drones more efficiently than conventional methods.

Stereo gamma ray detection system generates a two-dimensional image of the gamma ray by using the position values and the gamma ray signal. And the device will overlap with the visible light image shows the actual distribution of the gamma-ray space. The gamma ray detection device is a stereo configuration to a motion controller for controlling the signal measurement unit and the position detection portion for detecting the detection portion and the gamma-ray signal comprising a gamma-ray detection sensor. In this paper, we developed a system operation management algorithm for each module individually configured efficiently. We confirmed the imaged and distribution information output for the gamma rays from gamma-ray irradiation test site by using these results.

With the recent increase in the development of military drones, they are adopted and used as the combat system of battalion level or higher. However, it is difficult to use drones that can be used in battles below the platoon level due to the current conditions for the formation of units in the Korean military. In this paper, therefore, we developed a program drones equipped with a thermal imaging camera and LiDAR sensor for reconnaissance and exploration that can be applied in battles below the platoon level. Using these drones, we studied the possibility and feasibility of drones for small-scale combats that can find hidden enemies, search for an appropriate detour through image processing and conduct reconnaissance and search for battlefields, hiding and cover-up through image processing. In addition to the purpose of using the proposed drone to search for an enemies lying in ambush in the battlefield, it can be used as a function to check the optimal movement path when a combat unit is moving, or as a function to check the optimal place for cover-up or hiding. In particular, it is possible to check another route other than the route recommended by the program because the features of the terrain can be checked from various viewpoints through 3D modeling. We verified the possiblity of flying by designing and assembling in a form of adding LiDAR and thermal imaging camera module to a drone assembled based on racing drone parts, which are open source hardware, and developed autonomous flight and search functions which can be used even by non-professional drone operators based on open source software, and then installed them to verify their feasibility.
