IGRINS (Immersion GRating Infrared Spectrograph) is a high spectral resolution near-infrared spectrograph that has been developed in a collaboration between the Korea Astronomy & Space Science Institute and the University of Texas at Austin. By using a silicon immersion echelle grating, the size of the fore optics is reduced by a factor of three times and we can make a more compact instrument. One exposure covers the whole of the H- and K-band spectrum with R=40,000. While the operation of and data reduction for this instrument is relatively simple compared to other grating spectrographs, we still need to operate three infrared arrays, cryostat sensors, calibration lamp units, and the telescope during astronomical observations. The IGRINS Instrument Control Software consists of a Housekeeping Package (HKP), Slit Camera Package (SCP), Data Taking Package (DTP), and Quick Look Package (QLP). The SCP will do auto guiding using a center finding algorithm. The DTP will take the echellogram images of the H and K bands, and the QLP will confirm fast processing of data. We will have a commissioning observations in 2014 March. In this poster, we present the performance of the software during the test observations.

GRB100205A is a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) which is suspected to be at redshift z=11-13 due to its very red H-K color($(H-K)_{vega}=2.1{\pm}0.5$). We observed a field centered at GRB100205A with Wide Field Camera (WFCAM) at United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) in Hawaii, in order to search a quasar that could be located around the GRB. The images were obtained in J, H, and K filters covering a square area of $0.78deg^2$. Our J-, H-, and K-band data reach the depths of 22.5, 22.1, and 21.0 mag (Vega) at $5{\sigma}$, respectively. Also using z-band image observed by CFHT, we find 8 candidates that have colors consistent with a quasar at z=11-13(non-detection in z-, J-band and $(H-K)_{vega}$ > 1.6). However, the shallow depths of J-, H-band are not enough to verify their true nature. Instead, we identify many red objects to be old or dusty galaxies at $z{\geq}3$. The number density of such objects appears about twice or more than that of the field of Cosmological Evolution Survey (COSMOS) and Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) of UKIRT Infrared deep sky survey (UKIDSS). On scales between 0.18' and 15' the correlation function is well described by a power law with an exponent of ${\approx}-0.9$ and this implies that those objects are like galaxies. It is interesting that many red galaxies exist in the region where the GRB was detected.

최근, 휴대성과 이동성이 뛰어난 모바일 단말기 환경에 홍채 인식 기술을 도입하여 신원을 확인하는 연구가 진행 되었는데, 이러한 모바일 홍채 인식 시스템은 취득된 홍채 영상 품질에 따라 인식률이 좌우된다. 홍채 영상은 취득 시 조명환경에 영향을 많이 받게 되는데, 기존의 시스템은 태양광이 없는 실내에서는 높은 인식률을 보이나, 실외 태양광 환경에서는 외부태양광이 홍채 영역에 투사되어 입력 영상 내에서 홍채 패턴의 그레이 레벨 변화, 고스트(Ghost region) 및 속눈썹 그림자(Eyelash shading region) 발생 등의 요인으로 인식 성능 저하를 초래하는 문제가 있었다. 이를 해결하기 위하여, 본 연구에서는 850nm 근적외선 조명과 850nm 대역 밴드 패스 필터를 장착한 홍채 카메라 시스템을 제안한다. 성능 평가를 위해 기존의 홍채 인식시스템과 제안하는 홍채 인식 시스템을 사용하여 실내 및 실외 태양광 환경에서 취득한 홍채 영상으로부터 홍채코드를 추출한 후 타인 수락률(False Acceptance Rate), 본인 거부율 (False Rejection Rate)을 통한 균등 에러율(EER, Equal Error Rate)을 측정하였다. 실험 결과 기존의 시스템 보다 제안하는 시스템의 EER이 실내 정면 조명일 때 약 0.96%, 실외 정면 조명일 때 약 4.94%, 실외 측면 조명일 때 약 9.24%, 실외 후면 조명일 때 약 7% 낮아지는 개선된 성능을 보였다.

Purpose: A near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging is a promising tool for cancer-specific image guided surgery. Human epidermal receptor 2 (HER2) is one of the candidate markers for gastric cancer. In this study, we aimed to synthesize HER2-specific NIR fluorescence probes and evaluate their applicability in cancer-specific image-guided surgeries using an animal model. Materials and Methods: An NIR dye emitting light at 800 nm (IRDye800CW; Li-COR) was conjugated to trastuzumab and an HER2-specific affibody using a click mechanism. HER2 affinity was assessed using surface plasmon resonance. Gastric cancer cell lines (NCI-N87 and SNU-601) were subcutaneously implanted into female BALB/c nu (6-8 weeks old) mice. After intravenous injection of the probes, biodistribution and fluorescence signal intensity were measured using Lumina II (Perkin Elmer) and a laparoscopic NIR camera (InTheSmart). Results: Trastuzumab-IRDye800CW exhibited high affinity for HER2 (K_D=2.093(3) pM). Fluorescence signals in the liver and spleen were the highest at 24 hours post injection, while the signal in HER2-positive tumor cells increased until 72 hours, as assessed using the Lumina II system. The signal corresponding to the tumor was visually identified and clearly differentiated from the liver after 72 hours using a laparoscopic NIR camera. Affibody-IRDye800CW also exhibited high affinity for HER2 (K_D=4.71 nM); however, the signal was not identified in the tumor, probably owing to rapid renal clearance. Conclusions: Trastuzumab-IRDye800CW may be used as a potential NIR probe that can be injected 2-3 days before surgery to obtain high HER2-specific signal and contrast. Affibody-based NIR probes may require modifications to enhance mobilization to the tumor site.

The characterization of detectors installed in space- and ground-based instruments is important to evaluate the system performance. We report the development of a detector performance test system for astronomical applications using the Andor iKon M CCD camera. The performance test system consists of a light source, monochromator, integrating sphere, and power meters. We adopted the Czerny-Tuner monochromator with three ruled gratings and one mirror, which covers a spectral range of 200-9,000 nm with a spectral resolution of ~1 nm in the visible region. Various detector characteristics, such as the quantum efficiency, sensitivity, and noise, can be measured in wide wavelength ranges from the visible to mid-infrared regions. We evaluated the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) detector performance test system by using the performance verification of the Andor iKon-M CCD camera. The test procedure includes measurements of the conversion gain ($2.86e^-/ADU$), full well capacity ($130K\;e^-$), nonlinearity, and pixel defects. We also estimated the read noise, dark current, and quantum efficiency as a function of the temperature. The lowest measured read noise is $12e^-$. The dark current at 223 K was determined to be $7e^-/s/pix$ and its doubling temperature is $5.3^{\circ}C{\pm}0.2^{\circ}C$ at an activation energy of 0.6 eV. The maximum quantum efficiency at 223 K was estimated to be $93%{\pm}2%$. We proved that the quantum efficiency is sensitive to the operating temperature. It varies up to 5 % in the visible region, while the variation increases to 30 % in the near-infrared region. Based on the comparison of our results with the test report by the vendor, we conclude that our performance test results are consistent with those from the vendor considering the test environment. We also confirmed that the KASI detector performance test system is reliable and our measurement method and analysis are accurate.

고에너지 초음파 여기 탄성파가 물체의 균열, 박리 등의 결함 부위를 통과할 때 서로 맞닿은 결함면은 균일하게 진동하지 않는다. 초음파 입사에 따른 결함 면 사이의 마찰(friction), 문지름 (rubbing) 또는 부딪침(clapping) 에 의해 진동 에너지가 결함 부위에서 국부적인 열로 변환된다. 이를 적외선 열 영상 카메라로 관측하면 구조물의 결함을 실시간으로 검출할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 초음파 열 영상 검사를 이용한 인코넬 합금 박판의 브레이징 접합 결함 검출에 대해 기술한다. 2 kW 의 전력과 23 kHz 대역의 가진 주파수를 갖는 초음파 펄스를 280 ms 기간 동안 인코넬 합금의 브레이징 접합 박판에 입사시켰다. 브레이징 접합부의 결함위치 부근의 인코넬 합금 박판의 양면이 맞닿은 경계선에서 아주 밝은 국부적인 발열(핫 스팟)이 적외선 열 영상 카메라에 의해 관측되었으며 브레이징 접합 결함 위치에서도 미약한 열이 관측되었다. 배경 감산 평균 및 히스토그램 평활화 처리 등의 영상처리를 통해 브레이징 접합의 결함을 확인하였다.

WHO는 3월 11일 코로나 19에 대한 세계적 대유행, 팬더믹(pandemic)을 선언하였다. 하지만 경제 및 사회적 활동으로 인하여 면대면 교육이나 세미나를 위해 건물 출입을 해야하는 상황이 발생한다. 코로나 19의 감염여부의 1차 체크 방법으로 체온 측정이 있어 근거리 체온 측정을 통해 1차적인 출입 차단을 실시하고 있다. 그로 인해 일일이 직접 체크하는 것이 번거롭기 때문에 열화상 카메라를 건물 입구에 설치하고, 적외선 카메라를 이용하여 간접적으로 체온을 측정하여 출입 통제를 하고 있다. 중고교나 대학 및 평생교육의 경우 출석체크 등과의 연동이 가능하고, 마스크 착용 여부를 자동으로 인식하고, 수강생의 인증이 가능한 시스템이 필요하다. 제안시스템은 스마트미러에 탐재된 카메라로 마스크 착용 여부를 확인하고, 음성인식 기술을 활용하여 건물안으로 들어오고자 하는 사용자의 목소리 인식을 통해 사용자를 인증하고, 출입 여부를 결정하는 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 제안 시스템은 근거리 온도 측정과 수강생의 스마트 폰의 출석체크 APP와 연동을 하게 되면 출석체크도 가능하다.

In the characteristic of the brain malignant, the blood vessels and tumors have the same color and shape, and the boundary distinction is not clear, Therefore, it is difficult to observe the naked eye. Because of the high invasiveness, the risk of recurrence is high. Therefore, complete resection of the tumor is essential. The method for distinguishing the boundary between blood vessels and tumors is a fluorescence contrast method using indocyanine green (ICG), a fluorescence contrast agent. In ICG, the concentration range analysis is very important because the fluorescence expression state varies depending on the concentration. However, since the analysis result of the fluorescence expression condition is insufficient according to the current concentration, this paper proposes by analyzing the initial protocol of the concentration range. 780 nm infrared light was irradiated to the ICG sample to observe the fluorescence expression through a near infrared (NIR) camera. The wavelength is measured by using a spectrum instrument (ocean view) to observe the fluorescence expression wavelength of 811nm. As a result of analyzing the mol concentration according to each sample, the fluorescence expression range was found to be 16.15-0.16M and the optimum fluorescence concentration on the brightest part was found to be 3.23-0.81M.

The reimaging optics of the KASINICS (KASI Near Infrared Camera System) includes many transparent components like an entrance window, band-pass filters, and blocking filters. As observational targets or in-field background objects, bright stars may cause optical ghosts that can significantly degrade the system performance of the KASINICS. We estimated analytically the relative brightness of ghost components with respect to a point source and examined the effects of tilting optical components as a method of suppressing ghosts. We also performed numerical ray tracings including all the optical components and found the results are consistent with those of the analytic estimations. We conclude that the KASINICS will not suffer from significant ghost effects with appropriate anti-reflection coatings and fittings for the optical components.
