This paper describes the possibility of a low-power, high-resolution fingerprint sensor chip. A modified capacitive detection circuit of charge sharing scheme is proposed, which reduces the static power dissipation and increases the voltage difference between a ridge and valley more than conventional circuit. The detection circuit is designed and simulated in 3.3V, $0.35{\mu}m$ standard CMOS process, 40MHz condition. The result shows about 35% power dissipation reduction and 90% improvement of difference between a ridge and valley sensing voltage. The proposed circuit is more stable and effective than a typical circuit.

This paper is concerned with the measurement of low-frequency vibrations of structures using the image processing method. To measure the vibrations visually, the measurement system consists of a camera, an image grabber board, and a computer. The specific target installed on the structure is used to calculate the vibration of structure. The captured image is then converted into a pixel-based data and then analyzed numerically. The limitation of the system depends on the image capturing speed and the size of image. In this paper, we propose the methodology for the vibration measurement using the image processing method. The method enables us to measure the displacement directly without any contact. The current resolution of the vibration measurement is limited to sub centimeter scale. However, the frequency bandwidth and resolution can be enhanced by a high-speed and high-resolution image processing system.

Human detection technologies are widely used in smart homes and autonomous vehicles. However, in order to detect human, autonomous vehicle researchers have used a high-resolution LIDAR and smart home researchers have applied a camera with a narrow detection range. In this paper, we propose a novel method using a low-cost and low-resolution LIDAR that can detect human fast and precisely without complex learning algorithm and additional devices. In other words, human can be distinguished from objects by using a new human characteristics function which is empirically extracted from the characteristics of a human. In addition, we verified the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm through a number of experiments.

We present near-infrared (0.8 - 1.8 microns) spectra of 63 bright (J_mag < 10) stars observed with Low Resolution Spectrometer (LRS) onboard the rocket-borne Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment (CIBER). Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) photometry information is used to find cross-matched stars after reduction and extraction of the spectra. We identify the spectral types of observed stars by comparing with spectral templates from the Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) library. All the observed spectra are consistent with late F to M stellar spectral types, and we identify various infrared absorption lines. As our observations are performed above the Earth's atmosphere, our spectra are free from telluric contamination. Including HST/NICMOS and Cassini/VIMS, the spectral coverage has rarely been achieved in space, and the methods developed here can inform statistical studies with future low-resolution spectral measurements such as GAIA photometric and radial velocity spectrometer.

This paper proposes a new speed and position estimation method for PMSM(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) using low-resolution hall-effect sensors. In general, there are a variety of sensors to estimate rotor position for PMSM such as resolvers, and encoders. Position detection using hall-effect sensors that detect the flux of the rotor for rotor position is excellent method in terms of cost and space, but has low-resolution. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a new speed and position estimation observer. The performance of the observer has been verified by simulations carried out using Matlab/Simulink.

This study evaluates the simulated meteorological fields with a particular focus on the low-level wind, which plays an important role in air pollutants dispersion, under the varying synoptic environment. Additionally, the effects of subgrid-scale orography parameterization and improved topography/land-use data on the simulated low-level wind is investigated. The WRF model version 4.1.3 is utilized to simulate two cases that were affected by different synoptic environments. One case from 2 to 6 April 2012 presents the substantial low-level wind speed over the Korean peninsula where the synoptic environment is characterized by the baroclinic instability. The other case from 14 to 18 April 2012 presents the relatively weak low-level wind speed and distinct diurnal cycle of low-level meteorological fields. The control simulations of both cases represent the systematic overestimation of the low-level wind speed. The positive bias for the case under the baroclinic instability is considerably alleviated by applying the subgrid-scale orography parameterization. However, the improvement of wind speed for the other case showing relatively weak low-level wind speed is not significant. Applying the high-resolution topography and land-use data also improves the simulated wind speed by reducing the positive bias. Our analysis shows that the increased roughness length in the high-resolution topography and land-use data is the key contributor that reduces the simulated wind speed. The simulated wind direction is also improved with the high-resolution data for both cases. Overall, our study indicates that wind forecasts can be improved through the application of the subgrid-scale orography parameterization and high-resolution topography/land-use data.

Image restoration technique using dual sensor is presented in this paper. Digital Radiography image (1024xlO24) is obtained by conventional resolution sensor. We also obtain local DR image data by high resolution sensor. Two dimensional maximum entropy power spectrum estimation (2-D ME PSE) is applied to low resolution image and high resolution image for the purpose of the power spectrum estimation of each image. A class of linear algebraic restoration filter, parametric projection filter (PPF), is derived from the power spectrums of each image. It is shown that the noise energy may be considerably reduced through the PPF.

이미지 센서의 물리적 한계 가운데 공간 해상도의 제약과 다이내믹 레인지의 제약을 극복하기 위한 방법 가운데 신호처리기법에 기반하여 여러 장의 저해상도 영상으로부터 고해상도 영상을 복원하는 것과, 다이내믹 레인지가 좁은 여러 장의 영상으로부터 넓은 다이내믹 레인지를 갖는 영상을 복원하는 방법이 있다. 하지만, 일반적으로 실제 영상을 획득하는 과정에서 공간 해상도와 다이내믹 레인지의 제약을 동시에 받게 되므로, 이 두 제약을 동시에 극복하는 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 영상 장치의 응답 함수의 추정과 함께 공간 해상도와 다이내믹 레이지를 동시에 향상시킬 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이를 위해 영상의 공간 해상도 제한과, 다이내믹 레인지의 제약을 포함하는 영상 획득 과정을 모델링하고, 이 영상 획득 모델을 기반으로 하여 영상 입력 장치의 응답 함수를 추정하고, 영상의 공간 해상도와 다이내믹 레인지를 동시에 향상시킬 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안된 알고리즘이 기존의 고해상도 복읜 알고리즘과 와이드 다이내믹 레인지 영상 복원을 연속적으로 처리한 결과보다 시각적, 수치적으로 더 좋은 결과를 보여줌을 확인할 수 있다.

본 논문은 학습 기반의 2D-FIR필터를 이용한 부화소 렌더링 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 크게 학습 단계와 합성 단계로 나뉜다. 학습 단계에서는 충분히 많은 수의 저해상도/고해상도의 영상 블록 쌍들을 이용하여 고해상도/저해상도 블록의 관계에 따른 합성 정보를 계산하고, 그 합성 정보를 담은 소위 사전을 생성한다. 합성 단계에서는 각 입력 영상에 대응하는 후보 블록을 상기 학습된 사전에서 찾는다. 탐색된 사전 내 합성 정보를 이용하여 부화소 레벨의 축소된 블록을 합성함으로써 최종 축소 영상을 얻는다. 한편, 영상 합성 시 디스플레이 장치의 RGB 패턴을 고려한 필터링을 통해 선명도를 향상시킨다. 모의 실험을 통해 제안 기법이 일반적인 영상축소 기법에 비해 흐림 효과, 엘리어싱 등의 화질 열화없이 고화질의 축소 영상을 생성함을 확인하였다.

China's rapid economic growth has resulted in significant environmental side effects. Therefore, China has been interested in reducing her dependence on foreign oil and gas by developing technologies needed for hydrogen, in addition to her increasing energy mix of nuclear and renewable energy form, such as solar and wind power. There are three isotopes of hydrogen, i.e. protium (P or H), deuterium (D), and tritium (T). Both deuterium and tritium are important materials in nuclear fuel cycle industry. Tritium is one of the critical radioactive nuclides. Planning for and implementing contamination control as a part of normal operation and maintenance activities is an important function in any hydrogen facility, especially tritium facility. The development of hydrogen isotopes analysis is the key issues in this area. Mass spectrometry (MS) with medium (about 600) and high resolution (> 1,400) is commercially available; however, the routine analysis of hydrogen isotopes is done with low-resolution MS (< 200) in China. This paper summarizes the progress of MS measurement technology for hydrogen isotope abundance in China, focusing on our lab's research program and technical status. An analyzing method has been introduced for accurate measurement of tritium abundance in the H.D.T system by low resolution MAT-253 MS. The quotient of compression ratio coefficient is determined by building up equipment for laboratory-scale preparation of secondary standard gases and by considering the difference in sensitivity between hydrogen isotopes. The results show that the measured value is reproducible within the relative error range of 0.8% for gas samples of different tritium abundance.
