Face recognition presents a challenging problem in the field of image analysis and computer vision, and as such has received a great deal of attention over the last few years because of its many applications in various domains. Face recognition techniques can be broadly divided into three categories based on the face data acquisition methodology: methods that operate on intensity images; those that deal with video sequences; and those that require other sensory data such as 3D information or infra-red imagery. In this paper, an overview of some of the well-known methods in each of these categories is provided and some of the benefits and drawbacks of the schemes mentioned therein are examined. Furthermore, a discussion outlining the incentive for using face recognition, the applications of this technology, and some of the difficulties plaguing current systems with regard to this task has also been provided. This paper also mentions some of the most recent algorithms developed for this purpose and attempts to give an idea of the state of the art of face recognition technology.

태양전지 모듈의 25년 이상 보증을 위해 태양전지 모듈을 구성하는 부품 소재의 신뢰성이 부각되고 있다. 현재까지 알려진 태양전지 모듈용 에틸렌 아세테이트 비닐(ethylene Vinyl Acetate, EVA)의 주요 열화 메카니즘은 황변(yellowing)과 박리(delaminaation)이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 태양전지 모듈을 구성하는 재료 중 EVA 소재의 열화 메커니즘을 도출하기 위해 이미 알려진 스트레스 인자를 이용한 가속 열화시험을 설계한 후 가속열화시험을 실시하였으며, 이로부터 EVA의 열화 메카니즘을 규명하였다. 열화모드 재현을 위해 소형 태양광 모듈을 제작하였으며, Weather-Ometer를 이용하여 열화시험을 수행하였다. 시험조건은 4종 Phase가 1 사이클이 되도록 실험하였으며, Dark 조건 1 Phase 및 Light 조건 3 Phase 조건으로 실시하였다. 태양전지 모듈의 열화량은 매 500 사이클 마다 Light I-V 변화량을 측정하여 분석하였다. EVA의 물리 화학적 열화분석을 위해 단면분석, 적외선분광기(Fourier Transform-Infra Red, FT-IR) 및 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 열화 특성에 대한 분석을 실시하였고, 이를 근거로 EVA의 열화 메커니즘을 규명하였다.

An efficient calibration algorithm for mobile robot localization using infrared range finder is proposed. A calibration is important to guarantee the performance of other algorithms which use sensor data because it is pre-process. We experimentally found that the infrared range finder PBS-03JN has error characteristics depending on both distance and scan angle. After obtaining 2-D grid error characteristic data on distance and scan angle, we proposed a simple and efficient calibration algorithm with a 2-D piecewise linear function set. The performance of our proposed calibration algorithm is verified by experiments and simulation.

본 논문에서는 IR 영상추적을 위하여 가린 표적의 실제 중심을 예측하는 추적창 조절(target window adjustment) 기법을 제시한다. 대표적 분할 추적(patch tracking) 방식인 특징점 추적(feature point tracking)은 표적의 중심과 특징점을 coupling하여 가린 표적의 실제 중심을 예측할 수 있으나, 형상 정보가 적은 영상에서 표적의 ROI(Region of Interest)는 특징점의 분포만으로는 구할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 상관추적의 추적창 조절 기법과 특징점 추적의 coupling 기법을 결합하여 표적이 장애물에 가리는 경우에도 안정적인 추적창을 유지한다.

Convective heat transfer coefficient was measured around a secondary jet ejected into the supersonic flow field. Wall temperature distribution was measured on the surface, which the constant heat flux condition is applied. According to jet to freestream momentum ratio, the secondary flow was penetrated into the supersonic flow field. During the test, two dimensional thermal image of a wall temperature is taken by an infra-red camera. Experiments were performed under the testing condition of freestream Mach number of about 3, stagnation pressure of 630 kPa and Reynolds number of $3.0{\times}10^6$.

This paper represents the sensor combination technique of mobile robot to reduce the ambiguity and uncertainty of environment that prevents the mobile robot from recognizing the path planning and navigation. The sensors such as optical encoder, ultra sonar sensor, and infra-red sensor gathered the dynamic information of mobile robot that are used to detect the obstacle. Therefore, the mobile robot controller with sensor combination is stably demonstrated by the experimental results.

We present the result of near-infrared (near-IR) imaging polarimetry of star-forming regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We compiled near-IR photometric and polarimetric data of N159/160 regions. The photometric and polarimetric data were simultaneously obtained in J, H, and Ks bands using SIRPOL, an imaging polarimeter of the InfraRed Survey Facility (IRSF), in 2007 February. We measured Stokes parameters of point-like sources to derive their degree of polarization and polarization position angles. In this poster, we present polarization properties of these star-forming regions. We also discuss the polarization structure in these regions compared with mid-infrared dust emission structure from the Spitzer SAGE survey.

We observed Ultra-Long GRB 111209A using NASA's 3m InfraRed Telescope Facility (IRTF). The observation was started around 40 min later than T0 = 07:12:08 UT of Swift's BAT, lasted for 24 min. The spectrum was extracted using Spextool package. The NIR SEDs show power law distribution indicating afterglow emission from the GRB according to the fireball model with beta ~ 1.2. Also they do not show thermal emission component compared to the SED of "Christmas burst" GRB 101225A. Because there is no other NIR data with this observation epoch, this data can be compared only with TAROT-R band. It seems NIR data has the same flare which exists in R band as an optical flare.

Heat release rate used to characterize the fire is an important factor for determining the fire size, the fire growth and the time for suppression and evacuation. The purpose of present work is to review theoretical backgrounds and to introduce equations for estimation of heat release rate with oxygen consumption method in fires. Our work also shows the experimental results of applications for liquid fuels. The oxygen concentration is measured by the analyzer of paramagnetic type. The analyzers of Infra-Red type are used to measure the concentrations of $CO_2$ and CO gas. Time delays of analyzers are ignored.

Boron doped fullerene $C_{60}$ ($B:C_{60}$) films were prepared by the thermal evaporation of $C_{60}$ powder using argon plasma treatment. The morphology and structural characteristics of the thin films were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and x-ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrochemical application of the boron doped fullerene film as a coating layer for silicon anodes in lithium ion batteries was also investigated. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements were applied to the $B:C_{60}$ coated silicon electrodes at a scan rate of $0.05\;mVs^{-1}$. The CV results show that the $B:C_{60}$ coating layer act as a passivation layer with respect to the insertion and extraction of lithium ions into the silicon film electrode.
