This paper presents a precise edge detection algorithm for the critical dimension (CD) measurement of a Thin-Film Transistor Liquid-Crystal Display (TFT-LCD) pattern. The sigmoid surface function is proposed to model the blurred step edge. This model can simultaneously find the position and geometry of the edge precisely. The nonlinear least squares fitting method (Levenberg-Marquardt method) is used to model the image intensity distribution into the proposed sigmoid blurred edge model. The suggested algorithm is verified by comparing the CD measurement repeatability from high-magnified blurry and noisy TFT-LCD images with those from the previous Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) based sub-pixel edge detection algorithm and error function fitting method. The proposed fitting-based edge detection algorithm produces more precise results than the previous method. The suggested algorithm can be applied to in-line precision CD measurement for high-resolution display devices.

We propose an algorithm for the automatic measurement of concentricity and roundness using image processing technique. The proposed measuring method consists of the preprocessing process and the measuring process. In the measuring process, two types of concentricity measurement algorithm and one type of roundness measurement algorithm are proposed. We could measure the concentricity and roundness using input image from CCD camera, without using special measurement equipment. From the experimental results, we could find that the required measurement accuracy specification is sufficiently satisfied using our proposed method.

This article describes a FM modulation algorithm to increase the measurement speed by increasing the beat frequency of the laser without acousto-optic modulator(AOM) in the heterodyne laser interferometer. The proposed algorithm can increase the beat frequency of the heterodyne laser which limit the measurement speed by adjusting a carrier frequency through electronic circuit, while AOM is used to shift the frequency of the heterodyne laser in conventional method. Electronic circuit is constructed to modulate the signals from a laser interferometer and a waveform generator. The brier analysis, the measurement scheme of the system, and the experimental results using a Zeeman-stabilized He-Ne laser are presented. They demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is proven to enhance the measurement speed limit by increasing the beat frequency of the heterodyne laser.

This paper proposes a multi-objective optimal placement method of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) in large electric transmission systems. It is proposed for minimizing the number of PMUs for complete system observability and maximizing measurement redundancy of the buses, simultaneously. The measurement redundancy of the bus indicates that number of times a bus is able to monitor more than once by PMUs set. A high level of measurement redundancy can maximize the system observability and it is required for a reliable power system state estimation. Therefore, simultaneous optimizations of the two conflicting objectives are performed using a binary coded firefly algorithm. The complete observability of the power system is first prepared and then, single line loss contingency condition is added to the main model. The practical measurement limitation of PMUs is also considered. The efficiency of the proposed method is validated on IEEE 14, 30, 57 and 118 bus test systems and a real and large- scale Polish 2383 bus system. The valuable approach of firefly algorithm is demonstrated in finding the optimal number of PMUs and their locations by comparing its performance with earlier works.

This paper introduces an adaptive algorithm determining the measurement-track association problem in multi-target tracking(MTT). We model the target and measurement relationships with mean field theory and then define a MAP estimate for the optimal association. Based on this model, we introduce an energy function defined over the measurement space, that incorporates the natural constraints for target tracking. To find the minimizer of the energy function, we derived a new adaptive algorithm by introducing the Lagrange multipliers and local dual theory. Through the experiments, we show that this algorithm is stable and works well in general environments. Also the advantages of the new algorithm over other algorithms are discussed.

GPS에 의한 관측치는 시각오차, 전리층과 대류층 지연오차, 다중경로 오차와 같은 다양한 오차를 내포하고 있어서 GPS 관측치 위치계산시 일반적으로 최소자승해를 구하게 된다. GPS 관측치는 비선형 방정식을 만족하므로 최소자승해를 구하기 위해서는 비선형 Newton 알고리즘을 이용할 수도 있으나 대개 간편성과 효율성 때문에 선형화 알고리즘을 적용하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 비선형 Newton 알고리즘이나 선형화 알고리즘을 대체할 수 있는 부동점 알고리즘을 개발하여 그 유용성을 증명하였다. 비선형 Newton 알고리즘이나 선형화 알고리즘은 수렴속도가 빠른 장점을 가지고 있으나 초기값이 해와 근사하여야 한다는 단점이 있다. 반면 부동점 알고리즘은 수령속도는 다소 느리나 초기값이 대단히 부정확하여도 수렴가능한 장점이 있으므로 두 알고리즘을 적절히 혼용하는 것이 좋을 것이다.

This paper proposes a compensating algorithm for the secondary current of the measurement current transformer (CT) that removes the effects of the hysteresis characteristics of the iron-core. The exciting current resulting from the hysteresis characteristics of the core causes an error between the primary current and the secondary current of the measurement CT. The exciting current can be decomposed into the magnetizing current and the core loss current. The core loss current is obtained from the measured secondary current and the core loss resistance. The core flux linkage is calculated by integrating the measured secondary current, and then inserted into the flux-magnetizing current curve to obtain the magnetizing current. The exciting current at every sampling interval is obtained by summing the core-loss and magnetizing currents and then added to the measured current to obtain the correct current. The performance of the proposed algorithm is validated under various conditions using EMTP generated data. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm can improve the accuracy of the measurement CT significantly, and thus reduce the size and the cost of the measurement CT.

본 논문에서는 두 개의 사인파 신호의 위상 차이를 계산해 내기위한 개선된 위상 측정 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이 알고리즘은 두 개의 입력신호의 양자화된 샘플링 데이터를 사용하여 위상과 크기를 구해낸다. 측정 알고리즘의 중요 파라메타들은 몇개의 해석식으로 표현되기 때문에 위상을 계산하기 위해 필요한 연산량이 상당히 줄어들고 따라서 더 빠른 속도로 위상을 계산해 낼 수 있게 되었다. 또한 본 논문에서 제시한 알고리즘을 사용하여 입력신호의 한주기 전체를 샘플링할 경우에는 입력신호에 harmonic distortion이 발생하더라도 위상 측정 오차가 전혀 발생하지 않음을 수식으로 증명하였으며 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 이를 확인하였다. 그리고 입력신호에 가우시안 백색 잡음(white gaussian noise)이 발생할 경우에 위상 측정 오차가 얼마나 발생하는 지에 대하여 여러 가지 관점에서 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 수행하고 그 결과를 분석하였다.

This parer proposes a power-line phase measurement algorithm which is based on the recursive implementation of sliding-DFT. Usage of the single DFT coefficient in the conventional sliding-DFT based power-line phase measurement brings a significant error propagation when implemented in hardware with finite word-length arithmetic operations. The proposed algorithm utilizes all the N-point DFT coefficients in the recursion. Performance degradation caused by the finite word- length implementation of the algorithm is analyzed and verified with computer simulations. The robustness of the proposed phase measurement algorithm against the erroneous implementation is also confirmed by the performance analysis and simulation.

Multi-Layer Ceramic Circuit(MLCC) in the face of thousands of fine pitch multi hole is processed. However, the fine pitch multi hole has a size of only a few micrometers. Therefore, in order to curtail the measurement time and reduce error, the image processing measurement method is required. So, we proposed an image processing measurement algorithm which is required to accurately measure the fine pitch multi hole. The proposed algorithm gets image of the fine pitch multi hole, extracts object from the image by morphological process, and extracts the parameters of its position and feature by edge detecting process. In addition, we have used the sub-pixel algorithm to improve accuracy. As a result, the proposed algorithm shows 97% test-retest measurement reliability within 2 ${\mu}m$. We found that the algorithm was wellsuited for measuring the fine pitch multi hole.
