  • Conventional geotechnical instrumentation techniques available for monitoring of slopes, especially soil-nailed slopes have limitations such as electromagnetic interference, low accuracy, poor longterm reliability and difficulty in mounting a series of strain sensors on a soil nail bar with a small-diameter. This paper presents a slope monitoring system based on fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensing technology. This monitoring system is designed to perform long-term monitoring of slope movements, strains along soil nails, and other slope reinforcement elements. All these FBG sensors are fabricated and calibrated in laboratory and a trial of this monitoring system has been successfully conducted on a roadside slope in Hong Kong. As part of the slope stability improvement works, soil nails and a toe support soldier-pile wall were constructed. During the slope works, more than 100 FBG sensors were installed on a soil nail, a soldier pile, and an in- place inclinometer. The paper presents the layout and arrangement of the instruments as well as the installation procedures adopted. Monitoring data have been collected since March 2008. This trial has demonstrated the great potential of the optical fibre monitoring system for long-term monitoring of slope performance. The advantages of the slope monitoring system and experience gained in the field implementation are also discussed in the paper.

  • A new class of temperature-sensing materials is demonstrated along with their integration into transparent and flexible field-effect transistor (FET) temperature sensors with high thermal responsivity, stability, and reproducibility. The novelty of this particular type of temperature sensor is the incorporation of an R-GO/P(VDF-TrFE) nanocomposite channel as a sensing layer that is highly responsive to temperature, and is optically transparent and mechanically flexible. Furthermore, the nanocomposite sensing layer is easily coated onto flexible substrates for the fabrication of transparent and flexible FETs using a simple spin-coating method. The transparent and flexible nanocomposite FETs are capable of detecting an extremely small temperature change as small as $0.1^{\circ}C$ and are highly responsive to human body temperature. Temperature responsivity and optical transmittance of transparent nanocomposite FETs were adjustable and tuneable by changing the thickness and R-GO concentration of the nanocomposite.

  • A new hybrid-type touch screen panel (TSP) has been developed based on a-Si:H TFT which can detect the change of both $C_{LC}$ and photo-current. This TSP can detect the difference of $C_{LC}$ between touch and no-touch states in unfavorable conditions such as dark ambient light and shadows. The hybrid TSP sensor consists of a detection area which includes one TFT for photo sensing and two TFTs for amplification. Compared to a single internal capacitive TSP or an optical sensing TSP, this new proposed hybrid-type TSP enables larger sensing margin due to embedding of both optical and capacitive sensors.

  • Traditionally, aerial images have been used as main sources for compiling topographic maps. In recent years, lidar data has been exploited as another type of mapping data. Regarding their performances, aerial imagery has the ability to delineate object boundaries but omits much of these boundaries during feature extraction. Lidar provides direct information about heights of object surfaces but have limitations with respect to boundary localization. Considering the characteristics of the sensors, this paper proposes an approach to extracting buildings from lidar and aerial imagery, which is based on the complementary characteristics of optical and range sensors. For detecting building regions, relationships among elevation contours are represented into directional graphs and searched for the contours corresponding to external boundaries of buildings. For generating building models, a wing model is proposed to assemble roof surface patches into a complete building model. Then, building models are projected and checked with features in aerial images. Experimental results show that the proposed approach provides an efficient and accurate way to extract building models.

  • The diffuse attenuation coefficient for down-welling irradiance ($K_d$) is an important parameter for ocean studies including remote sensing applications. For the vast ocean, ocean color remote sensing is the only possible means to get the fine-scale measurements of $K_d$. To develop a technique of estimating $K_d$ from remotely sensed data, the following underwater optical parameters (absorption coefficient (a), attenuation coefficient (c), scattering coefficient (b), diffuse attenuation coefficient ($K_d$), etc.) have been studied. For this research we conducted the field campaign around the Yellow Sea at $8{\sim}9$ June, 2006. We obtained a set of underwater optical parameter data: down-welling irradiance ($E_d$), up-welling irradiance ($E_u$) and up-welling radiance ($L_u$) using TriOS optical sensors and a, c coefficient using Spectral Absorption and Attenuation Meter (AC-S). We then derived $K_d$ values from $E_d$ for each depth.

  • SRM은 회전자의 위치에 따라 상권선의 여자시점이 결정되므로 회전자의 정확한 위치정보가 요구된다. 회전자 위치검출을 위해 절대형 엔코더 및 레졸버를 사용할 경우 초기 회전자 위치 검출이 가능하여 초기기동이 가능하지만 경제성을 고려할 때 적절하지 않다. 증분형 엔코더의 경우 초기 회전자 위치 검출이 용이하지 않아 초기기동의 문제가 있고, 홀센서를 이용할 경우 별도의 링마그넷을 부착하여야 하는 단점이 있다. 초기기동과 경제성을 고려할 때 슬롯디스크 및 옵토 인터럽터를 이용한 광센서 기법이 적합하지만, 이 방식은 6/4 pole SRM의 경우 3개의 옵토 인터럽터와 슬롯디스크가 필요하다. 반면에 본 논문에서는 단지 2개의 광센서만을 이용하여 3상 6/4 pole SRM을 구동하였으며 초기기동 및 정·역 운전을 가능하게 하였다. 광센서의 개수를 1개 줄이고 슬롯디스크를 제거함으로써 제작의 편리성과 경제성이 개선되었으며 슬롯디스크 취부면적이 제거되어 모터의 부피도 줄일 수 있었다.

  • 광학 위성영상은 레이더 영상에 비해 시각적으로 친숙한 영상을 제공한다. 하지만해빙종류에 대한 구분은 분광학적으로 쉽지 않아 기존 기계학습에서 주로 사용하는 분광정보를 이용한 분류기법을 이용했을 경우 광학영상에서 해빙종류의 구분은 매우 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 분광정보 기반의 분류모델이 아닌 딥러닝 기반 분류기법인 semantic segmentation을 이용하여 계층적, 공간적 패턴을 학습하여 해빙종류 분류를 수행하였다. 또한 주기적으로 획득되는 광학위성자료에 비해 감독분류에서 매우 중요한 양질의 레이블 자료는 수집하는데 있어 높은 시간 및 노동 비용이 소모된다. 본 연구에서는 부족한 레이블 자료로 인해 어려운 다중영상에 대한 감독분류 문제를 준지도학습과 능동학습의 결합을 통해 해결을 시도 하였다. 이를 통해 레이블 되지 않은 새로운 영상자료로부터 추가적인 레이블을 스스로 학습하여 분류모델을 강화할 수 있었으며, 이는 향후 광학영상 기반의 운영 가능한 해빙종류 산출물 개발에도 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • 간섭형 광섬유 센서의 경우 소자의 구성만 적절히 바꾸어 다른 종류의 측정에도 사용될 수 있다는 점에 착안하여 여러 종류의 센서를 동시에 신호처리할 수 있는 원격 다중화 광섬유 센서 시스템을 구현하였다. 구현된 센서 시스템의 신호처리는 간단한 광학 구성으로 원격 다중화 측정이 가능하도록 광섬유 Fabry-Perot 간섭형 센서배열을 가정하여 피측정량의 변화에 의한 간섭 무늬의 수만 카운트하는 디지털 신호처리로 구성되었다. 광섬유의 광학 효과에 대한 데이터를 종합함으로써 센서 시스템에 부착할 센서를 구현하기 위해 적합한 광학효과를 선택하는 기준을 제시하였으며, 한 예로서 반경 4.3 cm의 원형 다이아프램 중앙에 광섬유 Fabry-Perot 간섭계를 부착하여 광섬유의 스트레인 광학 효과를 이용하게 구성한 압력센서 1개를 센서 시스템에 연결하여 간섭형 광섬유 압력 센서 시스템을 구성하였다. 압력센서의 동작을 수조실험에서 확인함으로써 압력의 원격 측정이 가능함을 보였으며, 수조 실험의 길과 2 m의 측정범위에서 오차는 ${\pm}3.6\;cm$이내인 것으로 나타났다.

  • This paper introduces a technology for robust and low maintenance cost sensor network capable to detect accelerations below a micro-g in a wide frequency bandwidth (above 1,000 Hz). Sensor networks with such performance are critical for navigation, seismology, acoustic sensing, and for the health monitoring of civil structures. The approach is based on the fabrication of an array of high sensitivity accelerometers, each utilizing Fabry-Perot cavity with wavelength-dependent reflectivity to allow embedded optical detection and serialization. The unique feature of the approach is that no local power source is required for each individual sensor. Instead one global light source is used, providing an input optical signal which propagates through an optical fiber network from sensor-to-sensor. The information from each sensor is embedded onto the transmitted light as an intrinsic wavelength division multiplexed signal. This optical "rainbow" of data is then assessed providing real-time sensing information from each sensor node in the network. This paper introduces the Fabry-Perot based accelerometer and examines its critical features, including the effects of imperfections and resolution estimates. It then presents serialization techniques for the creation of systems of arrayed sensors and examines the effects of serialization on sensor response. Finally, a fabrication process is proposed to create test structures for the critical components of the device, which are dynamically characterized.

  • A wireless optical fiber interferometer arterial pulse wave sensor system is developed for remote sensing. The wireless optical fiber sensor system consists of Zigbee communication modules and an optical fiber interferometer arterial pulse wave sensor. The optical fiber arterial pulse wave sensor is an in-line Michelson interferometer enclosed with steel reinforcement in a heat-shrinkable tube. The Zigbee communication modules are composed of an ATmega128L microprocessor and a CC2420 Zigbee chip. The arterial pulse waves detected by the optical fiber sensor were transmitted and received via the Zigbee communication modules. The experimental results show that the wireless optical fiber sensor system can be used for monitoring the arterial pulse waves remotely.
