Objectives: The purpose of this review is to analyze the domestic study trends of clinical use of Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) as a diagnosis instrument on obstetrics and gynecological diseases in Korean literature. Methods: We searched for clinical studies using DITI in the journal of Korean obstetrics & gynecology, National Digital Science Library, Research Information Sharing Service, Korean Medical Database up to May 2020. After searching studies, we selected studies and analyzed according to disease. Results: 18 clinical studies were published in two kinds of academic journals. There were 4 studies about dysmenorrhea and menopausal symptoms, 2 studies about postpartum disease and hypercryalgesia, 1 study about amenorrhea, premenstrual syndrome, leukorrhea, infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome and hot flush. Conception vessel was frequently used for DITI measurement, followed by stomach meridian. The temperatures of abdomen (CV4, CV12), face (HN3), upper and lower limb (PC8, LU4, LR3, ST32) were commonly measured. Conclusions: This study shows that DITI could be one of effective diagnosis instrument for obstetrics and gynecological diseases. More well-designed clinical studies using DITI will be needed.

Defect inspection system for industrial applications takes the important portion. Non-destructive inspection method has been significantly improved. Infrared thermography, as one of method for non-destructive inspection, can provide relatively precise data and quick inspection time. This study, it was performed to measure defect according to the measurement limit of the non-visible areas such as the back surface of the pipe using reflection plate using reflection plate based on Infrared thermography. The materials of the reflection plate were determined in consideration of the space limitation and the thermal characteristics, and defects were detected by the manufactured reflection plate. Detection of defect in non-visible area using the candidate materials for reflection plate was conducted.

대한민국 군의 K 계열 전차에 장착되어 있는 열영상장비의 목적은 시계가 제한된 환경에서 외부의 적외선 영역의 정보를 인간이 인지할 수 있는 시각 정보로 변환하는 것이다. 열영상장비의 시계, 배율, 분해능, 변조전달함수, 잡음등가온도차, 최소분해가능온도차 등의 지표 중에서 최소 분해 가능 온도차(MRTD)는 공간주파수와 온도분해능을 복합적으로 표현할 수 있기 때문에, 열영상장비의 성능 표현에 있어 가장 중요한 파라메터이다. 그러나 NATO의 MRTD 표준 측정 방법은 많은 주관적인 요소를 포함하고 있다. 즉, 측정자의 정신 상태, 시력 등의 차이와 측정환경에 따라 측정 결과의 오차가 발생하므로 MRTD의 측정결과는 안정적이지 못하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 정성적인 MRTD 측정 방법을 gary scale을 바탕으로 이미지 연산을 통한 정량적인 지표로 변환하였다. 흑상과 백상의 Gray scale 차이의 평균을 최소분해가능온도로 변환하여, 국방규격서에서 요구하는 성능요구조건의 충족여부를 판단할 수 있다. 또한 gray scale은 MRTD의 탐지/인지/식별의 판별기준으로 활용할 수 있다. 전차에 열영상장비가 탑재되어 작전을 수행할 때의 탐지 가능 거리를 안개, 폭우, 맑은 날씨 등의 다양한 환경조건에 따라 분석하였다.

A Protomodel Space Infrared Cryogenic System (PSICS) cooled by a stirling cryocooler was designed. The PSICS has an IR sensor inside a cold box which is cooled by a stilting cryocooler with refrigeration capacity of 500mw at 80K in a vacuum vessel. It is important to minimize heat load for reducing background thermal noise. In order to design the cryogenic system of low heat load and to reduce heat load, we did several numerical analyses and tested using boil-off calorimetry with liquid nitrogen to measure the heat leak of the system. In this paper, we present the results obtained by thermal analysis and heat load measurement for designing the PSICS.

In this paper, we investigate the capacity of the lock-in infrared thermography technique for the evaluation of non-uniform top layers of a silicon carbide coating with a nickel based superalloy sample. The method utilized a multilayer heat transfer model to analyze the surface temperature response. The modelling of the sample was done in ANSYS. The sample consists of three layers, namely, the metal substrate, bond coat and top coat. A sinusoidal heating at different excitation frequencies was imposed upon the top layer of the sample according to the experimental procedures. The thermal response of the excited surface was recorded, and the phase angle image was computed by Fourier transform using the image processing software, MATLAB and Thermofit Pro. The correlation between the coating thickness and phase angle was established for each excitation frequency. The most appropriate excitation frequency was found to be 0.05 Hz. The method demonstrated potential in the evaluation of coating thickness and it was successfully applied to measure the non-uniform top layers ranging from 0.05 mm to 1 mm with an accuracy of 0.000002 mm to 0.045 mm.

Recently, there is a demand for a thermal imaging microscope in the medical field as well as the semi-conductor industry Although the demand of the advanced thermal imaging microscope has been increased, it is very difficult to obtain the technology of developing a thermal camera, because it is used for defense industry. We developed the ${\times}5$ zoom microscope which has $3\;{\mu}m$ spatial resolution to research the design and fabrication of the IR (Infrared) optical system. The optical system of the IR microscope consists of four spherical lenses and four aspheric lenses. We verified individual sensitivity of each optical parameter as the first order approach to the analysis. And we also performed structure and vibration analysis. The optical elements are fabricated using Freeform 700A. The measurement results of surface roughness and form accuracy using NT 2000 and UA3P are Ra 2.36 nm and P-V $0.13\;{\mu}m$. Finally we ascertained resolution power of $3\;{\mu}m$ using USAF (United State Air Force) 1951 IR resolution test chart.

Effects of the ease of pattern on the thermal conditions of clothing were investigated through the measurement of clothing surface temperatures using infrared thermography. Four vests with different pattern ease were worn by five male subjects. Surface temperature distribution on the clothing were then examined using a thermogram to view thermo-regulating characteristics affected by the ease of pattern. Representative surface temperatures were calculated based on the percentage of the surface area within a certain temperature range and the midpoint value of the corresponding area. Representative surface temperatures matches well to the thermal insulation value measured by thermal manikin. Results indicated that representative surface temperature could be a useful quantitative value if some simple calculations were to be used alongside accurate image processing.

Measurement methods of moisture content were compared with 7 dried vegetables (red pepper, onion, green onion, garlic, ginger, carrot and radish). The moisture contents of dried vegetables having different moisture contents were determined by atmospheric oven drying, infrared balance, vacuum oven and Karl Fisher methods. Vacuum oven and Karl Fisher methods gave the relatively agreed results and considered to give the accurate moisture content. Atmospheric oven drying and infrared balance methods resulted in higher moisture content than methods mentioned above, because of the thermal decomposition of solid. Calibration of the moisture data of atmospheric oven drying method into the vacuum oven data was undertaken. The thermodecomposable solid fraction was high in onion, radish, green onion and carrot, and was in the range of 8.0-11.7% of the total solid in these products.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 적외선 카메라를 이용하여 소형 및 고온으로 날아가는 이동체의 거리를 실시간으로 측정하는 시스템을 제안한다. 이동체와 주변 환경의 온도 차이를 측정하고 고속으로 이동하는 소형 이동체의 거리를 자동으로 측정하기 위하여 적외선 스테레오 카메라 시스템을 구축하였다. 우선 적외선 카메라를 이용하여 취득한 고온의 이동체 영상으로부터 주변의 온도분포와 이동체간의 온도차를 이용하여 이동체영역을 검출하고, 이동체의 움직임 정보와 적외선 카메라 영상의 밝기정보를 결합하여 이동체를 추적한다. 좌우 적외선 카메라 영상에 대하여 각각 추출된 이동체 영역을 중심으로 스테레오 정합을 수행하여 시차정보를 추정하고, 카메라 파라미터와 시차정보를 이용하여 실시간으로 이동하는 이동체의 거리를 추정한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 적외선 스테레오 카메라 시스템을 검증하기 위하여 고온의 이동체를 촬영할 때, 3차원 궤적(x,y,z) 측정기를 함께 가동하여 이동체가 이동하는 거리를 측정하여 이를 기준 거리(ground truth)로 설정하였다. 3차례의 비디오 데이터로부터 실험한 결과, 적외선 스테레오 카메라를 이용한 고온/소형 이동체의 거리오차 측정 결과는 평균적으로 9.68%로 추정되었다. 스테레오 적외선 카메라의 타이밍 문제(jitter)를 고려하면, 실제로 추정 오차는 줄어들 것으로 판단되기 때문에, 향후 적외선 카메라를 이용하는 다양한 이동체의 거리 및 위치를 측정하는데 응용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This research aims to study the new paradigm of NDE measurement which allows the identification of defect locations and sizes of a certain structure by measuring its surface temperature after applying heat. STS which has a certain defect is applied by the heat of 70000W by a heater. Its difference of STS surface temperature is measured by using Infrared thermography. The estimated result of STS experiment and that of theoretical analysis of Flex-PDE are compared and analyzed to diagnose STS defect. Moreover, this study can save time and money and improve accuracy in contrast to the existing ultrasonic NDE experiment. In addition, the new paradigm of NDT/NDE by reverse-engineering will be valid if the data of thermal analysis and temperature distribution from the specifications of many materials is accumulated and verified.
