본 논문에서는 저궤도 위성의 반작용 휠 속도 측정을 위해 M-방식과 T-방식 모두 검출가능한 보드를 설계하여 두 방식의 장점을 이용할 수 있도록 하고, 실제 위성탑재컴퓨터에 장착하여 시험을 수행하고 이를 통하여 그 설계의 유용성을 검증한다. 위성에서 반작용 휠은 위성의 자세를 변화시킬 수 있는 대표적인 구동기의 하나로 반작용 휠 구동모터의 회전에 의해 발생하는 회전관성에 의해 자세 제어를 수행하게 된다. 반작용 휠의 회전속도를 검출하는 방법으로는 일정한 주기 T 동안 발생된 반작용 휠 내부 타코 펄스를 세어 휠의 속도를 검출하는 M-방식과 휠에서 발생되는 타코 펄스들 간의 시간을 측정해서 속도를 검출하는 T-방식으로 나눌 수 있다. M-방식은 구현이 간단하고 측정 시간이 일정하다는 장점이 있으나, 저속에서는 속도 측정 분해능이 떨어진다는 단점이 있다. 그에 반해, 타코 펄스간의 시간을 측정하는 T-방식은 저속에서 정밀한 속도를 측정할 수 있으며 측정에 따른 시간 지연이 작다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 이 방법 역시 실제 구현에 있어서 연산이 복잡하고 속도에 따라 연산 속도가 달라진다는 단점이 있다.

Purpose: Damage to pulse crops by wild birds is a serious problem. The damage is to such an extent that the rate of damage during the period between seeding and cotyledon stages reaches 54.6% on an average. In this study, a crop-position detection method was developed wherein infrared (IR) sensors were used to determine the cotyledon position under a vinyl mulch. Methods: IR sensors that helped measure the temperature were used to locate the cotyledons below the vinyl mulch. A single IR sensor module was installed at three locations of the crops (peanut, red lettuce, and crown daisy) in the cotyledon stage. The representative thermal response of a $16{\times}4$ pixel area was detected using this sensor in the case where the distance from the target was 25 cm. A spatial image was applied to the two-dimensional temperature distribution using a non-integral moving-average method. The collected data were first processed by taking the moving average via interpolation to determine the frame where the variance was the lowest for a resolution unit of 1.02 cm. Results: The temperature distribution was plotted corresponding to a distance of 10 cm between the crops. A clear leaf pattern of the crop was visually confirmed. However, the temperature distribution after the normalization was unclear. The image conversion and frequency-conversion graphs were obtained based on the moving average by averaging the points corresponding to a frequency of 40 Hz for 8 pixels. The most optimized resolutions at locations 1, 2, and 3 were found on 3.4, 4.1, and 5.6 Pixels, respectively. Conclusions: In this study, to solve the problem of damage caused by birds to crops in the cotyledon stage after seeding, the vinyl mulch is punched after seeding. The crops in the cotyledon stage could be accurately located using the proposed method. By conducting the experiments using the single IR sensor and a sliding mechanical device with the help of a non-integral interpolation method, the crops in the cotyledon stage could be precisely located.
