In this study, we analyzed the sharpness of UAV-images using the gradient formula and produced a MATLAB GUI (Graphical User Interface)-based sharpness analysis tool for easy use. In order to verify the reliability of the proposed sharpness analysis method, sharpness values of the UAV-images measured by the proposed method were compared with those by measured the commercial software Metashape of the Agisoft. As a result of measuring the sharpness with both tools on 10 UAV-images, sharpness values themselves were different from each other for the same image. However, there was constant bias of 011 ~ 0.20 between two results, and then the same sharpness was obtained by eliminating this bias. This fact proved the reliability of the proposed sharpness analysis method in this study. In addition, in order to verify the practicality of the proposed sharpness analysis method, unsharp images were classified as low quality ones, and the quality of orthoimages was compared each other, which were generated included low quality images and excluded them. As a result, the quality of orthoimage including low quality images could not be analyzed due to blurring of the resolution target. However, the GSD (Ground Sample Distance) of orthoimage excluding low quality images was 3.2cm with a Bar target and 4.0cm with a Siemens star thanks to the clear resolution targets. It therefore demonstrates the practicality of the proposed sharpness analysis method in this study.

Punching, blanking, trimming and slitting are widely used in shearing processes in sheet metal forming of automotive parts. In this paper the effects of clearance, cutting angle and tool sharpness on the formation of burr were investigated by experimental method in shearing processes of steel sheets, SPCEN and SPRC35E. The amount of burr and the shapes of burr were different between two kinds of steel sheets. It has been shown that the cutting angle of the shearing blade had no effects on the height of burr when the clearance was below the 10% of the steel sheet thickness, and also that the height and shape of burr were not affected by the cutting angle when the wear of shearing blade was below the 10% of the steel sheet thickness. It was known that there had been existing the critical clearance of 10 to 15% for the tested steel sheet, SPCEN and SPRC35E.

Ultra precision diamond cutting is a very efficient manufacturing method for optical parts such as HOE, Fresnel lenses, diffraction lenses, and others. During micro cutting, the rake angle is likely to become negative because the tool edge radius is considerably large compared to the sub-micrometer-order depth of cut. Depending on the ratio of the tool edge radius to the depth of cut, different micro-cutting mechanism modes appear. Therefore, the tool edge sharpness is the most important factor affecting the qualities of machined parts. That is why diamond especially mono-crystal diamond, which has the sharpest edge among all other materials is widely used in micro-cutting. The question arises, given a diamond tool, what is the minimum (critical) depth of cut to get continuous chips while in the cutting process\ulcorner In this paper, the micro machinability around the critical depth of cut is investigated in micro grooving with a diamond tool, and introduce the minimizing method of cutting depth using vibration cutting. The experimental results show the characteristics of micro cutting in terms of cutting force ratio (Fx/Fy), chip shape, surface roughness, and surface hardeing around the critical depth of cut.

In micro-machining, diamond tool is commonly used because it brings much better micro-machinability due to its edge sharpness. However, it is a big question even how thinly the sharp edge of a diamond tool can cut a ship from the workpiece surface. This paper is to investigate the critical cutting depth, at which the dominant cutting mode changes from chip formation to burnishing or vice versa, for a given edge radius. The theoretically critical cutting depth is 0.25$\mu\textrm{m}$(0.8$\mu\textrm{m}$) in cutting using a square type(V-type) diamond tool that has edge radius of 1$\mu\textrm{m}$(1.5$\mu\textrm{m}$). Experimentally, the dominant cutting mode changes and cutting surface becomes better at critical cutting depth. To get high quality surface, depth of cut must be critical cutting depth because less plastically deformed substrate is left on the surface.

This paper presents a new cutting method, i.e. diamond cutting, aided by electrolysis, in order to cut ferrous materials with diamond tools. Diamond cutting is widely applied in manufacturing ultraprecision parts such as magnetic disk, polygon mirror, spherical/non-spherical mirror and copier drum, etc. because of the diamond tool edge sharpness. In general, however, diamond cutting cannot be applied to cutting steels, because diamond tools wear excessively in cutting iron based materials like steel due to their high chemical interaction with iron in high temperature. In order to suppress the diffusion of carbon from the diamond tool and to reduce increase of cutting force due to size effect, we attempt to change chemically the compositions of iron based materials using electrolysis in a limited part which will be soon cut. Through experiments under several micro-machining and electrolysis conditions, cutting using electrolysis, compared to conventional cutting, was found to result in a great decrease of the cutting force, a better surface and much less wear tool.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to evaluate how chemiluminescent lighting($ViziLite^{(R)}$) could increase the sharpness of margin and contrast to normal mucosa in the diagnosis of oral lichen planus(OLP), the most frequent oral premalignant lesion, compared with direct visual inspection under incandescent light. Methods: 41 consecutive patients, diagnosed to have OLP with visual inspection under incandescent light, were further examined with chemiluminescent light. The degrees of margin sharpness and lesion contrast were ranked on a scale from 1 to 3 for all patients under visual inspection and chemiluminescent light. The presence of additional lesion only detected by chemiluminescent light, complication, and discomfort were checked for each patient. After both screening tests, biopsy specimens were harvested from all patients with scalpels and histopathologic assessments were done. Results: All 41 patients were diagnosed to have OLP by both visual inspection and chemiluminescent light examination. This result was definitively diagnosed by histopathology. Degrees of margin sharpness and lesion contrast were increased by chemiluminescent light compared with visual inspection, but only the difference of lesion contrast was statistically significant. In 22.0% of patients, additional lesions were detected and 88.9% of them were diagnosed to have OLP histopathologically. 17.1% of patients noted discomfort and 9.8% of patients showed complications after chemiluminescent test. Conclusion: Chemiluminescent light may not be proper for the screen test of oral cancer or premalignant lesion but showed some possibility for additional diagnostic tool for definitively diagnosed patients in determination of lesion margin and scope.

The Oil Palm industry has developed tremendously with the increasing of planted area from 54,000 hectaresin 1960 to about 2.28 million hectares in 1995. This is expected to increase further to 2.5 million hectares by the year 2000. However, there has been an increasing difficulty in obtaining sufficient labour for the oil palm plantations. At present , harvesting of oil palm fresh fruit is facing an acute shortage of workforce as the workers are much more attracted to the better working environment and salary in the industrial sector. Harvesting of short palm is easily done by using a chisel attached to a short steel pole. Cutting is done by moving the tool at high speed to the target. The weight of the tool coupled with the speed of throwing will produce enough energy to cut the bunch stalk. In this cutting method, sharpness of the cutting device, weight of tool and the speed of throwing contribute to the efficiency of the tool . For the tall palms, a sickle attached to a ong pole is used and the job is more difficult compared to the short palms. Lifting of pole and cutting jobs require great effort and skills. This paper describes the basic design needs in developing an appropriate device that is practical for field use. A prototype design was developed and tested.
