Since the SSC(soluble solid contents) and titratable acidity of fruit are highly concerned to the taste, the need for measuring them by non-destructive technology such as NIR(Visual and Near-infrared) spectroscopy is increasing. Specially, in order to grade the quality of each fruit with a sorter at sorting and packing facilities, technologies for online measurement satisfying the tolerance in terms of accuracy and speed should be developed. Many researches have been done to develop devices to measure the internal qualities of fruit such as SSC, titratable acidity, firmness, etc. with the VIS(Visual)/NIR(Near Infrared) reflectance spectra. The distributions of the SSC, titratable acidity, firmness, etc. are different with respect to the position and depth of fruit, and generally the VIS/NIR light can interact with fruit in a few millimeters of pathlength, and it is very difficult to measure the qualities of inner flesh of fruit. Therefore, to measure the average concentrations of each quality factor such as SSC and titratable acidity with the reflectance-type NIR devices, the spectra of fruit at several positions should be measured. Recently, the interest about the transmittance-type VIS/NIR devices is increasing. NIR light can penetrate through the fruit about 1/10-1/1,000,000 %. Therefore, very intensive light source and very sensitive sensor should be adopted to measure the transmitted light spectra of intact fruit. The ultimate purpose of this study was to develop a device to measure the transmitted light spectra of intact fruit such as apple, pear, peach, etc. With the transmittance-type VIS/NIR device, the feasibility of measurement of the SSC and titratable acidity in intact fruit cultivated in Korea was tested. The results are summarized as follows; A simple measurement device which can measure the transmitted light spectra of intact fruit was constructed with sample holder, two 500W-tungsten halogen lamps, a real-time spectrometer having a very sensitive CCD array sensor and optical fiber probe. With the device, it was possible to measure the transmitted light spectra of intact fruit such as apple, pear and peach. Main factors affecting the intensity of transmitted light spectra were the size of sample, the radiation intensity of light source and the integration time of the detector. Sample holder should be designed so that direct light leakage to the probe could be protected. Preprocessing method to the raw spectrum data significantly influenced the performance of the nondestructive measurement of SSC and titratable acidity of intact fruit. Representative results of PLS models in predicting the SSC of peach were SEP of 0.558 Brix% and R2 of 0.819, and those in predicting titratable acidity were SEP of 0.056% and R2 of 0.655.

Brillouin backscatter is a type of reflection that occurs when light is shone into an optical fibre. Brillouin reflections are very sensitive to changes in the fibre arising from external effects, such as temperature, strain and pressure. We report here several case studies on the measurement of strain using Brillouin reflections. A mechanical bending test of an I beam, deployed with both fiber optic sensors and conventional strain gauge rosettes, was performed with the aim of evaluating: (1) the capability and technical limit of the DTSS technology for strain profile sensing; (2) the reliability of strain measurement using fiber optic sensor. The average values of strains obtained from both DTSS and strain gauges (corresponding to the deflection of I beam) showed a linear relationship and an excellent one-to-one match. A practical application of DTSS technology as an early warning system for land sliding or subsidence was examined through a field test at a hillside. Extremely strong, lightweight, rugged, survivable tight-buffered cables, designed for optimal strain transfer to the fibre, were used and clamped on the subsurface at a depth of about 50cm. It was proved that DTSS measurements could detect the exact position and the progress of strain changes induced by land sliding and subsidence. We also carried out the first ever distributed dynamic strain measurement (10Hz) on the Korean Train eXpress(KTX) railway track in Daejeon, Korea. The aim was to analyse the integrity of a section of track that had recently been repaired. The Sensornet DTSS was used to monitor this 85m section of track while a KTX train passed over. In the repaired section the strain increases to levels of 90 microstrain, whereas in the section of regular track the strain is in the region of 30-50 microstrain. The results were excellent since they demonstrate that the DTSS is able to measure small, dynamic changes in strain in rails during normal operating conditions. The current 10km range of the DTSS creates a potential to monitor the integrity of large lengths of track, and especially higher risk sections such as bridges, repaired track and areas at risk of subsidence.

해양에서는 선박충돌, 침몰 등으로 인하여 기름이 유출되는 사고가 간헐적으로 일어난다. 이러한 사고가 발생하였을 때 신속한 대책 마련을 위해 유출유 현황을 정확히 파악해야 한다. 이를 위해 해양경찰은 고정익비행기 또는 헬기로 대상 지역을 순찰하며 육안이나 영상 촬영을 통해 확인하는데, 유출유로 오염된 면적과 지도 상의 정확한 위치를 파악하는데 어려움이 있었다. 이에 본 연구는 유출유 현황 파악을 위해 해경에서 수집한 항공 영상을 개별적으로 지상기준점 없이 자동으로 직접 지오레퍼런싱(georeferencing)하여 정사보정하는 기술을 개발한다. 먼저, 영상 등 센서 정보를 가시화한 화면에서 지오레퍼런싱에 필요한 메타정보를 문자인식기술을 통해 추출한다. 추출된 정보를 바탕으로 영상의 외부표정요소를 결정한다. 결정된 외부표정요소를 이용해서 영상을 개별적으로 정사보정한다. 이러한 방법으로 통해 생성한 개별정사영상의 정확도는 수십 미터에서 최대 100 m 정도로 평가되었다. 지상기준점을 사용하지 않았고, 위치와 자세 센서의 관측 오차, 카메라 초점거리 등 내부표정요소의 오차를 고려할 때 상당히 양호한 수준이었다. 해양에서 유출유 오염 지역에 대한 현황 파악을 위해 적절한 수준으로 판단된다. 향후 비행 중 촬영 영상에 대한 실시간 전송이 가능해지면, 제안된 개별정사보정 기술을 통해 실시간으로 개별 정사영상을 생성할 수 있게 된다. 이를 기반으로 유출유 오염 현황에 대한 신속한 파악과 대책 수립에 효과적으로 활용할 수 있다.
