Alert-confirm detection is a highly efficient method to improve phased array radar search performance. It comprises sequential detection in two steps: alert detection, in which a target is detected at a low detection threshold, and confirm detection, which is triggered by alert detection with a longer dwell time to minimize false alarms. This paper provides a design method for applying the alert-confirm detection to multifunctional radars. We find optimum dwell times and false alarm probabilities for each alert detection and confirm detection under the dual constraints of total false alarm probability and maximum allowable dwell time per position. These optimum values are expressed as a function of the mean new target appearance rate. The proposed alert-confirm detection increases the maximum detection range even with a shorter frame time than that of uniform scanning.

Marine radars are affected by sea and rain clutters, which can make target discrimination difficult. The clutter standard deviation and improvement factor are applied using multiple parameters-moving speed of radar, antenna speed, angle, etc. When a radar signal is processed, a Data Matrix Bank (DMB) filter can be applied to remove sea clutters. This filter allows detection of a target, and since it is not affected by changes in adjacent clutters resulting from a multi- target signal, sea state clutters can be removed. In this paper, we study the level for clutter removal and the method for target detection. In addition, we design a signal processing algorithm for marine radars, analyze the performance of the DMB filter algorithm, and provide a DMB filter algorithm design. We also perform a DMB filter algorithm analysis and simulation, and then apply this to the DMB filter and cell-average constant false alarm rate design to show comparative results.

This research aims to develop DNA chip array without an indicator. We fabricated microelectrode array by photolithography technology. Several DNA probes were immobilized on an electrode. Then, indicator-free target DNA was hybridized by an electrical force and measured electrochemically. Cyclic-voltammograms (CVs) showed a difference between DNA probe and mismatched DNA in an anodic peak. Immobilization of probe DNA and hybridization of target DNA could be confirmed by fluorescent. This indicator-free DNA chip microarray resulted in the sequence-specific detection of the target DNA quantitatively ranging from $10^{-18}\;M\;to\;10^{-5}$ M in the buffer solution. This indicator-free DNA chip resulted in a sequence-specific detection of the target DNA.

As headlamp technology advances, newly developed various headlamps were introduced in the market. The objective of this study is to quantitatively analyze the detection distance of the recently developed LED headlamps and existing headlamps, complying with specific technical standard. Background: The detection distance of headlamps is very important to prevent automobile accident at night time. The studies of detection distance of LED, Halogen and HID headlamp have been conducted, but no study has shown the detection distance of pedestrian target with various colors (Black, White, Blue). Method: The experiment of detection distance was conducted with 30 people, which divide into 2 groups as 15 men and 15 women. Automatic transferable target on the rail was manufactured in order to reduce the error of study's result, and ANOVA also conducted to analyze the main effect with sign color, sex and headlamp classified by detection distance. In addition, the luminance by average detection distance was measured as well. Results: The detection distance of headlamps was HID > LED > Halogen. The luminance measure of LED headlamp was lower than HID and Halogen headlamps. Conclusion: The headlamp performs a very significant role for safety at night time but it needs to be improved through assessment of visual characteristics. Also, it needs to be suggested the need of test method for dynamic detection distance concerning technical development is suggested.

최근 SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) 영상의 거리 및 도플러 해상도가 높아짐에 따라 표적의 탐지 정확도는 향상되고 있지만 처리할 데이터 용량이 급증하고 있다. 기존의 단일 셀 기반 CFAR 검출기는 전체 영상 내에서 모든 거리 셀 데이터를 검사하여야 하므로 CFAR 검출기의 속도 성능 저하를 가져온다. 본 논문에서는 다중셀 기반 CFAR 처리 방법을 2단으로 개선하여 1단계에서는 다중 셀 평균 기반 CFAR 검출을 이용하여 예상 표적 지역을 검출하고, 2단계에서는 예상 표적 지역에 대해서만 단일 셀 기반 CFAR 검출을 수행함으로써 처리 시간을 줄이고 표적의 탐지 성능을 획기적으로 향상시켰다. 제안된 기법에 대한 성능은 실제 SAR 영상을 통하여 기존의 단일 셀 기반 방식과 다중 셀 평균 기반 검출 방식을 비교 분석하였다.

마이크로파 탐색기를 이용하여 표적을 탐지, 추적하는 경우 하방 표적에 대해서는 지표면에서 반사되는 클러터 신호의 영향을 받는다. HPRF (high pulse repetition frequency) 모드를 사용하는 마이크로파 탐색기에서 부엽클러터 영역에 나타나는 퇴각표적을 탐지하기 위해서는 여러 지형과 상황에 따른 지표면 부엽클러터 전력의 통계적인 특징을 파악하여야 한다. HPRF 모드를 사용하는 탐색기의 항공기 탑재시험에서 지상 클러터의 전력을 측정한 자료를 기반으로, 각 지형과 안테나 시선각 등의 상황에 따라 부엽클러터의 확률분포 특성을 가장 근접하게 표현하는 확률밀도함수를 구하고 그 확률밀도함수의 매개변수를 추정하였다. 확률밀도함수 및 매개변수를 추정한 자료를 이용하여, 퇴각표적을 탐지할 때에 원하는 수준의 표적탐지 오류 확률을 가지는 표적탐지 임계값 설정에 관하여 분석하였다. 본 논문의 지표면 부엽클러터 전력의 확률분포 특성 분석과 표적탐지 임계값 설정에 관한 분석 자료는 표적탐지 방법 개발 및 일정 오경보 처리 등의 다양한 분야에 이용될 수 있다.

We propose a method for target detection in Infrared images. In order to effectively detect a target region from an image with noises and clutters, spatial information of the target is first considered by analyzing pixel distributions of projections in horizontal and vertical directions. These distributions are represented as Gaussian distributions, and Gaussian Mixture Model is created from these distributions in order to find thresholding points of the target region. Through analyzing the calculated Gaussian Mixture Model, the target region is detected by eliminating various backgrounds such as noises and clutters. This is performed by using a novel thresholding method which can effectively detect the target region. As experimental results, the proposed method has achieved better performance than existing methods.

We propose a novel velocity detection method of moving object based on a speckle pattern on the target surface using a self-mixing laser diode (SMLD). By this measurement, it was confirmed that the speckle signal has its waveform independent of the target velocity, and has its averaged frequency directly proportional to the target velocity. So it will be possible to detect the velocity of the target transversely translating against the laser light beam using a compact measuring system.

In this paper, we have proposed an improved fusion method of detection features which can enhance the detection probability under the given false alarm rate in the prescreening stage of SAR ATR(Synthetic Aperture Radar Automatic Target Recognition) system. Since the detection features have the positive correlation, the detection performance can be improved if the joint probability distribution of detection features is considered in the fusion process. The detection region is designed as a simple piecewise linear function which can be represented by few parameters. The parameters for the detection region can be derived by training the sample SAR images to maximize the detection probability with the given false alarm rate. Simulation result shows that the detection performance of the proposed method is improved for all combinations of detection features.

본 논문에서는 모폴로지 연산을 기반으로 소형 표적 후보를 찾고, 변형된 가우시안 거리 함수를 이용해서 소형 표적을 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 소형 표적 검출 방법은 예측 필터를 이용하는 방법과 모폴로지를 이용하는 방법이 있다. 예측필터를 이용하는 방법의 경우 최소 오차 수렴 시간이 오래 걸리고, 모폴로지를 이용하는 방법의 경우 클러터에 취약하고, 소형 표적의 크기를 고려하여 구조요소의 크기를 선정해야 하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 연구 방법의 단점을 보완한 강인한 소형 표적 검출 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 먼저 미디언 필터를 사용해서 클러터를 제거한다. 다음으로 다양한 크기의 구조 요소를 이용해 닫힘 연산과 열림 연산을 수행하고, 닫힘 연산 결과와 열림 연산 결과를 차 연산 하여 표적 후보 화소를 구한다. 정확한 소형 표적을 검출하기 위해 표적 후보 영역에서 가우시안 거리 함수를 이용하여 표적을 검출한다. 제안한 방법은 클러터에 민감하지 않고, 98%의 검출율을 보였다.
