Lane extraction is basically required for a driving car to understand its external road environments via a camera. In this paper, a lane extraction method using "Sobel Intensity Profile" is described. The Sobel intensity profile is obtained using only vertical edge components of Sobel edge outputs, and used to yield fitted lines for lanes. The RANAC algorithm is applied to fit lines using only inliers. Experimental results have shown the reliability of the proposed lane extraction method.

목적 : 위상 배열(phased array) 코일의 sensitivity profile을 추정하는 알고리즘을 제시하고, 이로부터 위상 배열 코일 영상에서 나타나는 밝기 비균등성 문제를 해결하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 코일의 sensitivity profile을 추정하기 위해, 우선 그 영상을 여러 각도에 대해 회전을 시켜가면서 projection 데이터를 얻는다. 영상의 해부학적인 구조, 즉 고주파 성분을 제거하기 위해, 앞에서 구한 projection 데이터에 적절한 curve fitting을 적용하여, projection profile을 부드럽게 변하는 곡선으로 만든다. Fitting된 projection profile에 filtered back projection 알고리즘을 적용하면, 원하는 코일의 sensitivity profile을 얻을 수 있다. 추정된 코일의 sensitivity profile 정보를 이용하여 획득한 위상 배열 코일 영상의 밝기를 균등화시킨다. 제안된 알고리즘은 각각, 8채널 및 4채널 위상 배열 코일을 사용하여 얻은 phantom과 사람 뇌 영상에 대해 적용해 봤다. 결과 : 알고리즘의 성능을 측정하기 위해, 본 알고리즘으로부터 얻어진 결과와 단순히 위상 배열코일 영상에 sum-of-square를 취하여 얻어진 결과의 밝기 균등성을 서로 비교해 보았다. 이때, 본 알고리즘으로부터 얻어진 영상의 밝기 균등성이 sum-of-square의 경우보다 더 높음을 확인할 수 있었다. 정량적으로는 밝기 변화량이 제안한 알고리즘에 의해 $13.1\%$에서 $6.1\%$로 감소되었다. 결론 : 제안한 알고리즘은 위상 배열 코일로부터 얻어진 영상의 밝기 비균등성을 효과적으로 보정할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we have made a proposal concerning the beam shaping mask(BSM) using random-array slits to control intensity distribution profile of laser beam and demonstrated its proprieties experimentally. When a lot of slits are set out irregularly, diffraction patterns of light does not appear but granularity patterns as a bundle of fibers appear. Intensity distribution profile is controlled by densities distribution of circular slits arrayed randomly because the number of slits and its area means amount of light energy through BSM. Namely as the number of slits in high intensity area is increased and that in low intensity area decreased, amount of light energy is same over all local parts. So gaussian intensity distribution could be changed to flat-top.

Temperature distribution of high pressure mercury lamp has been mesured as a function of time using spectroscopic method. Sampling signal which is synchronized by lamp voltage was used to mesure temporal line intensity at each radius. To obtain radial temprature distribution, the mesured intensity was transformed into radial line intensity by Abel's formula. Absolute temperature profile was calculater from relative intensities of spectral lines as a function of line and tube radius. The temperature profile is very similar to the electrical tube current profile.

The effect of the scan velocity modulation is studied. The effect of the velocity modulation on the picture image is judged from the intensity profile of the image. The intensity profile is obtained as time integral of moving Gaussian beam. To confirm the applicability of this integral formula, the measurement and simulation data is compared. And by calculating the intensity profile for different amounts of velocity modulation, the optimum modulation displacement that gives the best image quality is obtained. This optimum modulation displacement can be used in designing scan velocity modulation system.

An optical method for surface roughness estimation based on statistical analysis of the light intensity of a scattered laser beam pattern. The method is very simple but has a disadvantage that no more information than the averaged roughness is estimated. In this study a new try was conducted to derive more advanced surface information from the details of the light intensity distribution. Some periodic ripples among the light intensity distribution being assumed to relate with scratch left on the machined surface, a corresponding surface profile is estimated from the ripples using FFT and IFFT algorithm. IFFT technique is used to extract some dominant signal components among the intensity distribution. Compared to the measured profiles by a stylus type surf-tester, the profiles obtained through the proposed method are probably acceptable in a sense of the profile shape. Calibration of the amplitude needs more works in the future.

Three-dimensional pipe flows with elbows, tees and headers in three different pipe systems are calculated to estimate the effect of asymmetry of axial velocity profile and swirl on measuring accuracy of an orifice flowmeter. It is evaluated how the pressure difference across the orifice is dependent on the upstream straight pipe length and how swirl intensity, swirl angle, and axial velocity distribution affect the measuring error of the orifice flowmeter. From the results, it is found that variation of the pressure difference across the orifice is negligible in case that maximum swirl angle is less than 2$^{\circ}$, and also that the pressure difference across the orifice is more sensitive to the asymmetry of axial velocity profile rather than the swirl intensity.

In this paper, the effect of the turbulence intensity in across-wind direction on the wind load in CFD(Computational fluid dynamics) simulation was analyzed. 'Ansys fluent' software was used for CFD simulation. And the fluctuating wind speed applied to the simulation was generated according to Korean Design Standard and Von Karman wind turbulence model. The turbulence intensity in across-wind direction for simulation was applied from 0 to 100% of the turbulence intensity in along-wind direction. The analysis results showed that the turbulence intensity in across-wind direction had a particularly great effect on the wind load in across-wind direction.

A machine vision inspection system consists of a camera, optics, illumination, and image acquisition system. Especially a scanning system has to be made to measure a large inspection area. Therefore, a machine vision line scan camera needs a line scan light source. A line scan light source should have a high light intensity and a uniform intensity distribution. In this paper, an offset calibration and slope calibration methods are introduced to obtain a uniform light intensity profile. Offset calibration method is to remove the deviation of light intensity among channels through adding intensity difference. Slope calibration is to remove variation of light intensity slope according to the control step among channels through multiplying slope difference. We can obtain an improved light intensity profile through applying offset and slope calibration simultaneously. The proposed method can help to obtain clearer image with a high precision in a machine vision inspection system.

In this work, we present metalenses (MLs) designed to enhance the luminous intensity of incoherent light-emitting diodes (LEDs) within the detection angles of 0° and 10°. The detection angle of 0° refers to the center of the LED. Because the light emitted from LEDs is incoherent and expressed as a surface light source, they are numerically described as a set of point sources and calculated using incoherent summation. The titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and amorphous silicon (a-Si) nanohole meta-atoms are designed; however, the full 2π phase coverage is not reached. Nevertheless, because the phase modulation at the edge of the ML is important, an ML is successfully designed. The typical phase profile of the ML enhances the luminous intensity at the center, and the phase profile is modified to increase the luminous intensity in the target detection angle region. Far field simulations are conducted to calculate the luminous intensity after 25 m of propagation. We demonstrate an enhancement of the luminous intensity at the center by 8551% and 2115% using TiO₂ and a-Si MLs, respectively. Meanwhile, the TiO₂ and a-Si MLs with the modified phase profiles enhance the luminous intensity within the detection angle of 10° by 263% and 30%, respectively.
