With the recent advances in radiological science, there was radiographic techniques development and several researches to diagnosing dysphagia. We proposed the new Imaging technology based on Near Infrared radiation (NIR) for video fluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS). To reduce the risk of the VFSS examination for swallowing rehabilitation, multi-NIR camera system comprised. Based on the multi-NIR camera imaging system, Computational simulation was conducted to identify the potential of the multi-NIR camera imaging system as a clinical tool (screening system). As a result of the simulation applied in this study, the proposed system has a potential to be a clinical solution although there is a few of limitations. we believe that it will be a good tool to support the VFSS as a screening technology in clinical fields.

Crimes related to illegal cameras are steadily increasing and causing social problems. Owing to the development of camera technology, the miniaturization and high performance of illegal cameras have caused anxiety among many people. This study is for detecting hidden cameras effectively such that they could not be easily detected by human eyes. An image sensor-based module with 940 nm wavelength infrared detection technology was developed, and an image processing algorithm was developed to selectively detect illegal cameras. Based on the Android smartphone environment, image processing technology was applied to an image acquired from an infrared camera, and a detection sensor module that is less sensitive to ambient brightness noise was studied. Experiments and optimization studies were conducted according to the Gaussian blur size, adaptive threshold size, and detection distance. The performance of the infrared image-based illegal camera detection sensor module was excellent. This is expected to contribute to the prevention of crimes related to illegal cameras.

The paper proposes a hierarchical fault detection method for the high voltage equipment using a microphone array which detects the location of fault and the thermal imaging and CCD cameras which verifies the fault and stores the image, respectively. There are partial arc discharges on the faulty insulators, which generates a specific pattern of sound. Detecting the signal using the microphone array, the location of the faulty insulator can be estimated. The 6th band-pass filter was applied to remove noise signal from wind or external influence. When the mobile robot carries the thermal and CCD cameras to the possible place of the fault insulator, the fault insulators or power transmission wires can be detected by the thermal images, which are caused by the aging or natural erosion. Finally, the CCD camera captures the image of the fault insulator for the record. The detection scheme of fault location using the microphone array and the thermal images have been proved to be effective through the real experiments. As a result of this research, it becomes possible to use a mobile robot with the integrated sensors to detect the fault insulators instead of a human being.

This paper presents temperature measurement of solar photovoltaic modules using the custom-made system composed of an infrared temperature sensor and a microcontroller. The obtained measurement results are processed, displayed and stored on a PC using the custom-made virtual instrument. The proposed system overcomes some of the problems related to the contact sensor application, and at the same time offers accurate readings and better flexibility. The proposed system is especially suitable for applications where the cost is a limiting factor in the choice of measuring system. The conducted analysis and the obtained results have shown an excellent accuracy of the proposed system in comparison to a high quality thermal imaging camera used as the reference instrument.

현재 곡물선별기는 대부분 CCD 광학카메라를 이용하여 불량품을 찾아내고 있다. 본 논문에서는 CCD 카메라를 이용함과 동시에 근거리적외선 센서의 수분측정 방법을 추가하여 곡물선별기의 선별력향상을 목표로 한다. 그리고 구현한 알고리즘을 곡물선별기에 실제로 적용할 수 있도록 근거리적외선 영상보드 시스템을 개발하여, 원료의 내부 수분 함량을 고속으로 체크하여 일정함량 미달인 경우 불량으로 간주하여, 불량품을 실시간으로 제거하는 곡물선별기 시스템을 개발하고자 한다.

This study conducted a study to improve the problems of the existing fire sensor system. In the case of the existing system, it took more than 3 minutes to detect a fire even at a short distance, making it difficult to extinguish the initial fire. In order to improve these problems, in this study, a fire detection system using an infrared thermal imaging camera was studied. The infrared image-based fire detection system is relatively wide and can detect fire over a long distance, so it has the advantage of being applicable to many fire detection systems. As a result of conducting a field test using the fire detection system, a fire that occurred about 2 km ahead was detected within about 10 seconds. Since the fire detection function of this system can detect within 10 seconds from a distance of about 2 km, it was applicable to forest fires that occur frequently in spring and autumn.

This study conducted a measurement method of high temeprature conditions using infrared termography. All objects emit infrared light, and this emissivity has a significant impact on the temperature measurements of infrared thermal imaging (IR) cameras. In order to measure the temperature more accurately with the IR camera, correction equations were derived by measuring the emissivity according to the temperature change of combustible metals in a high-temperature environment. Two combustible metals, Mg and Al, were used to measure emissivity with changing temperature. Each metal was heated, the emissivity was measured by comparing the temperature with IR camera and thermocouples so that the correlation between temperature and emissivity could be anslyzed. As a result of the experiment, the emissivity of the metals increases as the temperature increased. This can be interpreted as a result of increased radiation emission as the thermal movement of internal metal molecules increased.

Thermal infrared imaging is a highly promising technology for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance of electronic, electrical and mechanical elements in nuclear power plants. However, conventional low-cost infrared imaging systems suffer from poor spatial resolution compared to commercial CCD cameras. This paper describes an approach to enhance inspection performances for calandria reactor area of Wolsung nuclear power plant through the technique of superimposing thermal infrared image into real CCD image. In the occurrence of thermal abnormalities on observation points and areas of calandria reactor area, unusual hot image taken from thermal infrared camera is mapped upon re...

We have developed and applied a diagnostic Multi-Leaf Collimator (MLC) to optimized the X-ray field in medical imaging and the usefulness evaluated through the fusion of infrared image and X-ray image acquired by infrared camera. The hand and skull radiography with multi-leaf collimator(MLC) showed significant area dose reductions of 22.9% and 31.3% compared to ARC and leakage dose was compliant with KS A 4732. Also scattering doses of 50 cm and 100 cm showed a significant decrease to confirm the usefulness of MLC. It was confirmed that the fusion of infrared images with an adjustable degree of transparency was possible in the X-ray images. Therefore, fusion of anatomical information with physiological convergence is expected to contribute and improvement of diagnostic ability. In addition, the feasibility of convergence X-ray imaging and DITI devices and the possibility of driving MLC with infrared images were confirmed.
