In infrared (IR) images, near targets have a transient distribution at the boundary region, as opposed to a steady one at the inner region. Based on this fact, this paper proposes a novel IR target extraction method that uses both a weighted information entropy (WIE) and an adaptive opening filter to extract near finely shaped targets in IR images. Firstly, the boundary region of a target is detected using a local variance WIE of an original image. Next, a coarse target region is estimated via a labeling process used on the boundary region of the target. From the estimated coarse target region, a fine target shape is extracted by means of an opening filter having an adaptive structure element. The size of the structure element is decided in accordance with the width information of the target boundary and mean WIE values of windows of varying size. Our experimental results show that the proposed method obtains a better extraction performance than existing algorithms.

A target adaptive guidance(TAG) algorithm is proposed employing the near-zone signal that can be measured from an infrared seeker. The guidance order is composed of a conventional PNG command and an additional command to be calculable from an additional LOS rate between a hot point of target and a required intercept point. The characteristic of the near-zone signal is similar to that of LOS rate that is inversely proportional to the square of time-to-go. Hence the proposed scheme can be applied to real systems with no estimator for time-to-go. From analysis results on the miss distance with perfect missile and perfect seeker, it follows that the proposed TAG algorithm guarantees missile to be ideally guided to the required intercept point. And it is less affected by the TAG start time and a proportional navigation ratio than other TAG schemes using a LOS rate such as a step bias or a ramp bias.

We analyzed through numerical simulations the properties of a square beam homogenizer near the target for laser shock peening. The efficiency was calculated near the target by considering the plasma threshold of the metals. We defined the depth of focus of the square beam homogenizer with a given efficiency near the target. Then, we found the relationship between the depth of focus for the laser shock peening and four main parameters of the square beam homogenizer: the plasma threshold of the metal, the number of lenslets in the array-lens, the focal length of the condenser lens and the input beam size.

본 논문에서는 바닥고정형 선배열센서를 이용하여 다중경로 신호를 이용한 근거리표적의 위치추정 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 다중경로를 통하여 근거리 표적의 신호가 센서에 도달하는 경우 각 신호의 원추각이 다르므로 신호들의 원추각과 시간차를 추정해서 3차원 표적의 위치를 추정할 수 있다. 원거리표적으로 가정하고 추정한 원추각과 신호들의 시간차에 대한 관계식을 유도하였으며 이들을 연립하여 표적의 위치를 추정하였다. 그러나 표적이 위치한 기하학적인 위치에 따라 신호들의 원추각이 거의 같아지는 지점이 존재한다. 이 경우 부가적인 1차원 탐색으로 표적의 위치를 추정하였다.

적외선 영상의 근거리 표적 (near targets)은 표적의 내부영역은 화소 값이 균일하고, 경계 영역은 배경과 인접해 있기 때문에 화소 값 변화가 불균일하다. 이러한 특성에 기초하여 본 논문은 적응적 구조요소 (adaptive structure element)를 이용한 열림 연산자에 의한 적외선 영상 표적 검출 기법을 제안한다 먼저, 국부 분산 가중치 정보 엔트로피 (weighted information entropy, WIE)를 이용하여 후보 표적군의 위치와 경계영역을 추출한 후, 이 경계 영역에 대하여 라벨링 연산을 수행하여 대략의 표적 영역을 검출한다. 이 대략의 표적 영역에 대하여 제한한 적응적 구조 요소를 이용한 열림 연산자를 수행함으로써 정확한 표적 모양을 검출한다. 이 구조 요소는 표적 경계 영역에서 필터창의 가중치 정보 엔트로피의 평균값을 계산함으로써 얻어진 표적 경계 폭에 의한 결정된다. 실험 결과로부터 제안한 방법이 기존의 방법에 비해 추출 성능이 뛰어남을 확인할 수 있었다.

Acoustic Target Strength (TS) is a major parameter of the active sonar equation, which indicates the ratio of the radiated intensity from the source to the re-radiated intensity by a target. In developing a TS equation, it is assumed that the radiated pressure is known and the re-radiated intensity is unknown. This research provides a TS equation for polygonal plates, which is applicable to near field acoustics. In this research, Helmholtz-Kirchhoff formula is used as the primary equation for solving the re-radiated pressure field; the primary equation contains a surface (double) integral representation. The double integral representation can be reduced to a closed form, which involves only a line (single) integral representation of the boundary of the surface area by applying Stoke's theorem. Use of such line integral representations can reduce the cost of numerical calculation. Also Kirchhoff approximation is used to solve the surface values such as pressure and particle velocity. Finally, a generalized definition of Sonar Cross Section (SCS) that is applicable to near field is suggested. The TS equation for polygonal plates in near field is developed using the three prescribed statements; the redection to line integral representation, Kirchhoff approximation and a generalized definition of SCS. The equation developed in this research is applicable to near field, and therefore, no approximations are allowed except the Kirchhoff approximation. However, examinations with various types of models for reliability show that the equation has good performance in its applications. To analyze a general shape of model, a submarine type model was selected and successfully analyzed.

In this paper, we propose efficient rate control algorithm for video near-lossless compression. The proposed method adjusts pixel error range using amounts of previous encoded bits and target bits at a slice encoding interval. Thus, encoded bits by the proposed method are transmitted well through limited bandwidth without overflow. Also, target bits and encoded bits can be controlled according to transmission policy. Experimental results show that our proposed method not only almost fits compression ratio, but also has better image quality.

지금까지 근거리 다중 표적에 대한 위치 추적은 2차원 MUSIC (MUltiple Signal Classification) 기법 등으로 표적 의 위치를 추정하여 JPDA (Joint Probabilistic Data Association) 필터 등의 순차적 상태 추정 알고리즘을 적용해 왔다. 그러나 이러한 방법은 데이터 연관 과정을 해결해야할 뿐 아니라 샘플 기간마다 표적의 위치를 추정하기 위해 많은 격자를 탐색해야 하므로 연산량 부하가 가중된다 또한 다수의 표적이 근접하여 위치할 경우 각 표적에 대한 위치 추정 오차가 크게 되어 위치 추적 성능이 저하되는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 근거 리 음장 (near field)에서의 선배열 센서 출력 신호 공분산 행렬로부터 위치 변위를 추정하여 근거리 다중 표적에 대한 위치 추적이 가능한 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 근접 및 교차 표적에 대한 모의실험을 수행하여 그 성능의 우수함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a new numerical method is proposed to analyze near-field sonar cross section of acoustically large-sized underwater targets such as submarines. A near-field problem is converted to a far-field problem using a spherical projection method with respect to the objective target. Then, sonar cross section is calculated with a physical optics well established in far-field acoustic wave scattering problems. The analysis results of a square flat plate compared with those obtained by other method show the accuracy of the proposed method. Moreover, it is noted that the sonar cross section is varied with respect to the targeting point as well as the range. Finally, numerical analysis results of real-like underwater target such as a submarine pressure hull are discussed.

Nowadays, it is required to apply low observable technology to weapon systems in operation or under development. Radar Cross Section(RCS) is a measure of the scattered power in an given direction when a target is illuminated by an incident wave and used as a parameter to estimate the low observable performance of weapon system. RCS of a target can be calculated by various numerical methods. However, measurement is also needed to estimate RCS of a complex target because it is difficult to estimate theoretically. To acquire reliable measurement results, an analysis of measurement uncertainty is essential. In this paper, error components and uncertainties of near-field RCS measurement system which was constructed in ASTEC(Aerospace System Test & Evaluation Center) were analyzed based on the IEEE recommended practice for radar cross-section test procedures(IEEE Std. 1502-2007) which describes the uncertainty of RCS measurement and unique error components of this near-field measurement system were also identified.
