With the current rapid growth and increase in the world's population, the demand for nutritious food and fibers and fuel will increase. Therefore, there is a serious need for the use of breeding programs with the full potential to produce high-yielding crops. However, existing breeding techniques are unable to meet the demand criteria even though genotyping techniques have significantly progressed with the discovery of molecular markers and next-generation sequencing tools, and conventional phenotyping techniques lag behind. Well-organized high-throughput plant phenotyping platforms have been established recently and developed in different parts of the world to address this problem. These platforms use several imaging techniques and technologies to acquire data for quantitative studies related to plant growth, yield, and adaptation to various types of abiotic or biotic stresses (drought, nutrient, disease, salinity, etc.). Phenotyping has become an impediment in genomics studies of plant breeding. In recent years, phenomics, an emerging domain that entails characterizing the full set of phenotypes in a given species, has appeared as a novel approach to enhance genomics data in breeding programs. Imaging techniques are of substantial importance in phenomics. In this study, the importance of current imaging technologies and their applications in plant phenotyping are reviewed, and their advantages and limitations in phenomics are highlighted.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), which were used for military purposes, are gradually expanding their application fields under the influence of electrification and digitalization. Starting from the field of aerial imaging and Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission, nowadays the possibility of Urban Air Mobility (UAM), which transports passengers and cargo with drones, is widely under discussion. In order to occupy the rapidly growing global unmanned aerial vehicle market in advance, it is necessary to secure core technologies and develop key UAVs components based on the new technologies. In the navigation field, it is necessary to secure a precise position with guaranteed reliability and continuity, unrelated to the operating environments. The reliability and continuity should be secured in the algorithm level and in the H/W component levels also. In order to achieve this technical goal, the Ministry of Science and ICT has launched the 'Unmanned Vehicle Core Technology Research and Development Program' in 2019 to support the R&D on the unmanned vehicle technologies. In this paper, authors introduce the unmanned vehicle core technology research and development program to the related researchers. The authors summarize the backgrounds of the program and show the technological tasks and objectives on the sub-programs in the unmanned vehicle navigation program. We present the program schedules especially focused on the test and evaluation of the developed technologies and components.

Intraoperative identification and localization of parathyroid glands are crucial step in preventing postoperative hypocalcemia during thyroid and parathyroid surgery. If there is a method to predict the parathyroid's location rather than detecting and verifying with naked eye, it would make the operator easier to find and identify the parathyroid. Recently, near-infrared light imaging technologies have been introduced in the fields of thyroid and parathyroid surgery to predict the localization of the parathyroid. These are being conducted in two ways: autofluorescence imaging with a unique intrinsic fluorophore in the parathyroid tissues and fluorescence imaging with external fluorescence materials specially absorbed into parathyroid tissues. We are suggest that parathyroid glands can be detected by surgeon with NIR autofluorescence imaging even if they are covered by fibrofatty tissues before they are detected by surgeon's naked eye. These novel techniques are very useful to identify and preserve parathyroid glands during thyroidectomy. In this article, we reviewed the latest papers that describe autofluorescence imaging and exogenous ICG fluorescence imaging of parathyroid glands during thyroid and parathyroid surgery.

탄성파 탐사를 이용한 지질구조 규명에 있어 정확한 속도모델 구축이나 영상화 기술 개발만큼 중요한 것이 자료의 분해능을 높이는 기술이다. 일반적으로 자료취득 과정에서 고주파 송신원을 사용하거나 자료처리 과정에서 곱풀기(deconvolution) 등의 기법을 적용하여 분해능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 그러나 해양 탄성파 탐사에서 분해능을 저해하는 가장 큰 원인은 도깨비파에 의한 특정 주파수 성분의 손실이다. 따라서 도깨비파를 제거하면 주파수 손실을 방지하여 광대역 탄성파 자료를 얻을 수 있고, 결과적으로 높은 분해능의 지층 영상을 얻을 수 있다. 도깨비파 제거는 자료처리 과정에서 적절한 필터를 적용하여 수행할 수 있지만, 최근에는 탐사 장비의 발전과 탐사 설계의 혁신을 통해 효과적인 광대역 탄성파 탐사 기술이 개발되고 있다. 해외 탐사전문 기업들은 오버/언더 스트리머나 가변 심도 스트리머와 같이 새로운 수신기 배열을 개발하거나 이중 센서 스트리머를 이용한 도깨비파 제거 기술을 확보하여 고분해능 영상화 기술을 제공하고 있다. 안타깝게도 국내에서는 광대역 탄성파 탐사 장비나 기술에 대한 연구가 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내 광대역 탄성파 탐사 연구에 도움이 될 수 있도록 그 기본 이론과 기술 현황을 소개하였다.

The more integrated and smaller SMD are needed, new solder joints packaging technologies are developed in these days such as BGA(Ball Grid Array), Flip Chip, J-lead etc. But, it's unable to inspect solder joints in those devices by visual inspection methods, because they are hided by it's packages. To inspect those new SMD packages, an X-ray system for acquiring a cross-sectional image of a arbitrary plane is necessary. In this paper, an analysis for designing X-ray cross sectional imaging system is presented including the way for correcting the distortion of image intensifier. And we show computer simulation of that system with a simple PCB model to show it's usefulness in applying PCB solder joint inspection.

This article aims to introduce the synchrotron radiation for its utilization in the casting and solidification fields as an unique tool for observation of real time phenomena of molten metal during solidification. General features of the synchrotron radiation were briefly introduced for readers in the casting and solidification fields, with no background regarding to synchrotron radiation. And basic principles of imaging technologies using synchrotron light for in-situ observation of molten metal were explained together with exemplary research works, which were reported on the casting and solidification fields in recent years. As a practical guide, real time observation of Al-Si casting alloy was introduced with experimental facilities, image acquisition, and processing together with representative results.

Examples of GPR survey results at a variety of archaeological sites are presented. Several new analyses which include static corrections for the tilt of the GPR antenna are shown for imaging of burial mounds with significant topography. Example archaeological site plans developed from GPR remote sensing of Roman and Japanese sites are given. The first completely automated GPR survey, using only Global Positioning Satellite navigation to create 3D data volumes, is employed for a site in Louisiana to detect lost graves of the Choctaw Indian Tribe.

The adoption of oligonucleotide aptamer is well on the rise, serving an ever increasing demand for versatility in biomedical field. Through the SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment), aptamer that can bind to specific target with high affinity and specificity can be obtained. Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acid molecules that can fold into complex three-dimensional structures, forming binding pockets and clefts for the specific recognition and tight binding of any given molecular target. Recently, aptamers have attracted much attention because they not only have all of the advantages of antibodies, but also have unique merits such as thermal stability, ease of synthesis, reversibility, and little immunogenicity. The advent of novel technologies is revolutionizing aptamer applications. Aptamers can be easily modified by various chemical reactions to introduce functional groups and/or nucleotide extensions. They can also be conjugated to therapeutic molecules such as drugs, drug containing carriers, toxins, or photosensitizers. Here, we discuss new SELEX strategies and stabilization methods as well as applications in drug delivery and molecular imaging.
