Stereo-based spatial radiation detection devices can obtain not only spatial distribution information about the radiation source but also distance information from the detection device to the source. And it provides more efficient information on the source than the existing radiation imaging device. In order to provide high-speed information on the spectrum and type of gamma-ray source, a high-sensitivity detection sensor with high sensitivity is required, and a technique capable of solving the saturation phenomenon at a high dose is needed. In this paper, we constructed a high sensitivity sensor for the measurement of multiple gamma - ray spatial distributions using improved function of detection module to solve saturation to high dose and conducted research to increase the scope of a single detector. The result of this paper improves the performance of gamma ray.

Recent advancements in modern transportation have led to the active development of various biomedical signal and medical imaging technologies. Particularly, in the field of cognitive/neuroscience, the importance of electroencephalography (EEG) measurement and the development of accurate EEG measurement technology in moving vehicles represent a challenging area. This study aims to extensively investigate and analyze the trends in technology research utilizing EEG during driving. For this purpose, the Scopus database was used to explore EEG-related research conducted since the year 2000, resulting in the selection of about 40 papers. This paper sheds light on the current trends and future directions in signal processing technology, EEG measurement device development, and in-vehicle driver state monitoring technology. Additionally, a ultra compact 32-channel EEG measurement module was designed. By implementing it simply and measuring and analyzing EEG signals, in-vehicle EEG module's functionality was checked. This research anticipates that the technology for measuring and analyzing biometric signals during driving will contribute to driver care and health monitoring in the era of autonomous vehicles.

In this paper, a modified elliptical lens antenna design is proposed to improve the performance of 100 GHz mini-lens antennas used in the ECEI(Electron Cyclotron Emission Imaging) module at KSTAR. A hemispherical lens is added on the bottom plate of the conventional elliptic lens antenna, and a 100 GHz dipole antenna is located on the end point of the hemispherical lens. Using geometrical optics, antenna radiated EM fields are designed to be totally reflected from the inner surface of the hemispherical lens, and thereby the antenna patterns are more focused toward the main beam. The validity of the proposed design is confirmed by the 3D EM simulator. The modified elliptical lens antenna provides 23.8 dB maximum gain, which is 2.2 dB gain improvement as compared with the conventional elliptic lens. Also, the side love levels of E- and H-planes are decreased by 2.6 dB and 3.4 dB, respectively.

A common characteristic of many patients whose illness is getting worse is that they miss the treatment red flag. When high subjective symptoms appear or there is no strong pain, this problem arises because it is reluctant to visit the hospital. Gingivitis causes bleeding from the gums in the early and mid-term, and shows mild symptoms of tooth collapse. When treatment is done at this point, it shows a very high effect. However, when you miss the timing of treatment you will have a situation where you can't eat food by causing serious problems in the health of the gums and oral cavity. In this paper, the patient's periodontal image is photographed with a smartphone and transmitted in real time. This is done by the doctor in charge. Then, we propose a design of a patient management system that provides information on the current situation to the patient so as not to miss the timing of treatment.

The system design and the system performance analysis of 3D imaging laser radar system for the mapping purpose is addressed in this article. For the mapping, a push-bloom scanning method is utilized. The pulsed fiber laser with high pulse energy and high pulse repetition rate is used for the light source of laser radar system. The high sensitive linear mode InGaAs avalanche photo-diode is used for the laser receiver module. The time-of-flight of laser pulse from the laser to the receiver is calculated by using high speed FPGA based signal processing board. To reduce the walk error of laser pulse regardless of the intensity differences between pulses, the time of flight is measured from peak to peak of laser pulses. To get 3D image with a single pixel detector, Risley scanner which stirs the laser beam in an ellipsoidal pattern is used. The system laser energy budget characteristics is modeled using LADAR equation, from which the system performances such as the pulse detection probability, false alarm and etc. are analyzed and predicted. The test results of the system performances are acquired and compared with the predicted system performance. According to test results, all the system requirements are satisfied. The 3D image which was acquired by using the laser radar system is also presented in this article.

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.

Purpose: This technical report aims to describe and detail the use of micro-computed tomography for a reliable evaluation of the bulk-fill composite/tooth interface. Materials and Methods: Bulk-fill composite restorations in tooth cavities were scanned using micro-computed tomography to obtain qualitatively and quantitatively valuable information. Two-dimensional information was processed using specific algorithms, and ultimately a 3-dimensional (3D) specimen reconstruction was generated. The 3D rendering allowed the visualization of voids inside bulk-fill composite materials and provided quantitative measurements. The 3D analysis software VG Studio MAX was used to perform image analysis and assess gap formation within the tooth-restoration interface. In particular, to evaluate internal adaptation, the Defect Analysis addon module of VG Studio Max was used. Results: The data, obtained with the processing software, highlighted the presence and the shape of gaps in different colours, representing the volume of porosity within a chromatic scale in which each colour quantitatively represents a well-defined volume. Conclusion: Micro-computed tomography makes it possible to obtain several quantitative parameters, providing fundamental information on defect shape and complexity. However, this technique has the limit of not discriminating materials without radiopacity and with low or no filler content, such as dental adhesives, and hence, they are difficult to visualise through software reconstruction.

An infrared thermographic imaging module of [$320{\times}256$] focal-plane array (FPA) based on [InAs/GaSb] strained-layer superlattice (SLS) was fabricated, and its images were demonstrated. The p-i-n device consisted of an active layer (i) of 300-period [13/7]-ML [InAs/GaSb]-SLS and a pair of p/n-electrodes of (60/115)-period [InAs:(Be/Si)/GaSb]-SLS. FTIR photoresponse spectra taken from a test device revealed that the peak wavelength (${\lambda}_p$) and the cutoff wavelength (${\lambda}_{co}$) were approximately $3.1/2.7{\mu}m$ and $3.8{\mu}m$, respectively, and it was confirmed that the device was operated up to a temperature of 180 K. The $30/24-{\mu}m$ design rule was applied to single pixel pitch/mesa, and a standard photolithography was introduced for [$320{\times}256$]-FPA fabrication. An FPA-ROIC thermographic module was accomplished by using a $18/10-{\mu}m$ In-bump/UBM process and a flip-chip bonding technique, and the thermographic image was demonstrated by utilizing a mid-infrared camera and an image processor.
