This paper investigates the framework of vision-based dense displacement and strain measurement of miter gates with the approach for the quantitative evaluation of the expected performance. The proposed framework consists of the following steps: (i) Estimation of 3D displacement and strain from images before and after deformation (water-fill event), (ii) evaluation of the expected performance of the measurement, and (iii) selection of measurement setting with the highest expected accuracy. The framework first estimates the full-field optical flow between the images before and after water-fill event, and project the flow to the finite element (FE) model to estimate the 3D displacement and strain. Then, the expected displacement/strain estimation accuracy is evaluated at each node/element of the FE model. Finally, methods and measurement settings with the highest expected accuracy are selected to achieve the best results from the field measurement. A physics-based graphics model (PBGM) of miter gates of the Greenup Lock and Dam with the updated texturing step is used to simulate the vision-based measurements in a photo-realistic environment and evaluate the expected performance of different measurement plans (camera properties, camera placement, post-processing algorithms). The framework investigated in this paper can be used to analyze and optimize the performance of the measurement with different camera placement and post-processing steps prior to the field test.

본 논문에서는 주파수 채배기 이론에 근거하여 단일 능동소자로 입력된 기본 LO 주파수($f_{LO}$)의 3차 고조파 성분($3f_{LO}$)의 진폭이 최대가 되는 바이어스 전압을 선택하여 두 입력신호($f_{RF}$, $f_{LO}$)에 대해서 고차 출력신호성분($f_{RF}{\pm}3f_{LO}$)이 최대가 되는 고조파 먹서(harmonic mixer)를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제안된 설계 방법에 의해서 제작된 고조파 먹서는 플라스틱(Plastic) 패키지의 MESFET 소자를 사용하여 기존 Ka-대역에서 동작하는 믹서 회로들이 나타내는 높은 부품 가격, 생산성 및 회로의 복잡도 문제를 해결할 수 있었으며 RF 주파수신호($f_{RF}$=33.5GHz)에 대해서 LO 주파수 신호($f_{LO}$=11.5 GHz)의 3차 고조파 신호($3f_{LO}$=34.5 GHz)가 최대가 되는 게이트 바이어스 전압을 선택하여 중간주파수($3f_{LO}-f_{RF}$=1.0GHz)에서 -10 dB의 낮은 변환 손실 특성을 나타내었다.
