This study investigated the feasibility of penetration depth measurement using infrared temperature sensing on the weld surface. The detection point was optimized by FEM analysis in the laser keyhole welding. The profile of the weld surface temperature was measured using infrared detector array. Surface temperature behind the weld pool is proportional or exponentially proportional to penetration depth and bead width. From the results, the monitoring device of surface temperature using infrared detector array was applicable fur real time penetration depth control.

In this study, a new experimental device was developed for measurement of the coefficient of kinetic friction using a photo gate timer system which have advantages of easy and accurate detection of motion. This device, consisting of a side air-guide track and a side friction-free glider, forces a friction sample to move in a straight line without producing unnecessary friction. The new device is compared to two conventional measuring methods of friction for four different friction samples: one is using a camera system and the other is using a force sensor. It is demonstrated that the developed friction device in this study is easier to operate and produces the most accurate and the least deviating results among them. On the basis of these results, we propose that friction experiment using the new friction device is included in general physics experiment, so that engineering students should have a chance to get correct understanding of classical mechanics including friction phenomenon.

This paper presents a neutron detector configuration using EJ-301 scintillation liquid, a R9420 photo-multiplier and a homemade preamplifier. The detector qualities which include the energy linearity, efficiency response and neutron/gamma discrimination are guaranteed for neutron detection in the energy range from 0 to 3000 keVee. Regarding the neutron/gamma discrimination capability, four pulse shape discrimination (PSD) methods which are the threshold crossing time (TCT), pulse gradient analysis (PGA), charge comparison (CC) and correlation pattern recognition (CPR), were evaluated and discussed; among of these, the CPR method provides the best neutron/gamma discrimination.

With the advent of cell phone digital cameras, and sophisticated photo editing software, digital images can be easily manipulated and altered. Although good forgeries may leave no visual clues of having been tampered with, they may, nevertheless, alter the underlying statistics of an image. Most digital camera equipped in cell phones employ a single image sensor in conjunction with a color filter array (CFA), and then interpolates the missing color samples to obtain a three channel color image. This interpolation introduces specific correlations which are likely to be destroyed when tampering with an image. We quantify the specific correlations introduced by CFA interpolation, and describe how these correlations, or lack thereof, can be automatically detected in any portion of an image. We show the efficacy of this approach in revealing traces of digital tampering in lossless and lossy compressed color images interpolated with several different CFA algorithms in test cell phones.

Cracks may occur in reinforced concrete (RC) structures due to various physical and chemical factors, and the growth of cracks causes deterioration of the structure's performance. It is important to prevent the expansion of cracks through periodic diagnosis of cracks in structures. In order to enable free crack exploration even in a narrow space, a construction robot using a Mecanum wheel that can move up, down, left and right and rotate in place was designed. High-quality crack images were periodically collected through the camera, and the image fragments stored during the exploration were combined into a single photo after the exploration was completed. The robot detected cracks with a width of 0.2 mm or more on the concrete probe surface with an accuracy of about 90% or more.

전차선과 팬터그래프는 전기철도차량에 전력을 공급하기 위해 사용된다. 전기철도차량 운행 시 전차선과 팬터그래프 사이의 불안정한 접촉에 의하여 아크가 발생하며 이는 고장 및 사고의 원인이 된다. 따라서 아크를 검출하고 전차선 유지보수를 위한 아크 검측 시스템의 필요성이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 전차선 아크 검측 시스템의 개발에 관하여 기술하였다. 아크는 광 검출기를 이용하여 간접 측정하며 가선 전압/전류, 전차선의 높이, 주행속도, 발생위치와 온/습도를 동영상과 함께 저장한다. 개발된 시스템은 서울-동대구간 하행선에서 시험 검측하고 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 아크 발생 및 강도는 가신 전압/전류, 팬터그래프의 높이, 속도에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

The real-time enrichment and detection of pathogens are serious issues and rapidly evolving field of research because of the ability of these pathogens to cause infectious diseases. In general, bacterial detection is accomplished by conventional colony counting or by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) after DNA extraction. As colony counting requires considerable time to cultivate, PCR is an attractive method for rapid detection. A small number of pathogens can cause diseases. Hence, a pretreatment process, such as enrichment is essential for detecting bacteria in an actual environment. Thus, in this study, we developed a microfluidic chip capable of performing rapid enrichment of bacteria and the extraction of their genes. A lectin, i.e., Concanavalin A (ConA), which shows binding affinity to the surface of most bacteria, was coated on the surface of magnetic particles to nonspecifically capture bacteria. It was subsequently concentrated through magnetic forces in a microfluidic channel. To lyse the captured bacteria, magnetic particles were irradiated by a wavelength of 532nm. The photo-thermal effect on the particles was sufficient for extracting DNA, which was consequently utilized for the identification of bacteria. Our device will help monitor the existence of bacteria in various environmental situations such as water, air, and soil.

Background: Though people of color (POC) are less likely to become afflicted with skin cancer, they are much more likely to die from it due to delay in detection or presentation. Very often, skin cancer is diagnosed at a more advanced stage in POC, making treatment difficult.The purpose of this research was to improve awareness regarding skin cancers in people of color by providing recommendations to clinicians and the general public for early detection and photo protection preventive measures. Methods: Data on different types of skin cancers were presented to POC. Due to limited research, there are few resources providing insights for evaluating darkly pigmented lesions in POC. Diagnostic features for different types of skin cancers were recorded and various possible risk factors were considered. Results: This study provided directions for the prevention and early detection of skin cancer in POC based on a comprehensive review of available data. Conclusions: The increased morbidity and mortality rate associated with skin cancer in POC is due to lack of awareness, diagnosis at a more advanced stage and socioeconomic barriers hindering access to care. Raising public health concerns for skin cancer prevention strategies for all people, regardless of ethnic background and socioeconomic status, is the key to timely diagnosis and treatment.

본 논문은 다수의 카메라로부터 입력받은 동영상을 하나의 파노라마 동영상으로 합치는 기법을 제안한다. 서로 인접하면서 겹치는 영상들을 하나의 큰 영상으로 만들어주는 파노라마 영상은 사진 측량법, 위성사진, 컴퓨터 그래픽 등의 분야에서 응용된다. 일반적으로 영상을 모자이크할 때 발생하는 왜곡을 최소화를 위해 투시 변환(perspective transformation)을 사용하는데, 변환 추정에 필요한 특징점을 얻어내는 방법이 결과물의 품질을 결정하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 코너점을 특징점으로 사용했으며, 결과물의 품질이 우수하고 연산 속도가 빠르게 하기 위해 모폴로지 구조를 사용해서 코너점을 추출하였다. 그리고 거의 모든 상황에서 안정적으로 코너점을 검출하기 위해 코너점의 강도를 구분하는 방법을 이용했다. 인접한 영상의 대응점으로부터 추정한 8-변수 투시 변환 값으로 영상 모자이크를 했으며, 결과 영상의 잔상을 제거하기 위해 쌍일차 색상혼합을 적용했다. 실험결과 제안한 방법은 여러 조건에서 빠른 속도와 좋은 화질의 결과를 보였다.

본 논문에서는 딥러닝을 이용하여 실시간 화재경보 시스템을 구현하는 방법을 제안한다. 화재경보를 위한 딥러닝 학습 이미지 데이터셋은 인터넷을 통하여 1500장을 취득하였다. 일상적인 환경에서 취득된 다양한 이미지를 그대로 학습하게 되면 학습 정확도가 높지 않은 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 학습 정확도 향상을 위해 화재 이미지 데이터 확장 방법을 제안한다. 데이터증강 방법은 밝기 조절, 블러링, 불꽃사진 합성을 이용해 학습 데이터 600장을 추가해 총 2100장을 학습했다. 불꽃 이미지 합성방법을 이용하여 확장된 데이터는 정확도 향상에 큰 영향을 주었다. 실시간 화재탐지 시스템은 영상 데이터에 딥러닝을 적용하여 화재를 탐지하고 사용자에게 알림을 전송하는 시스템이다. Edge AI시스템에 적합한 YOLO V4 TINY 모델을 custom 학습한 모델을 이용해 실시간으로 영상을 분석해 화재를 탐지하고 그 결과를 사용자에게 알리는 웹을 개발하였다. 제안한 데이터를 사용하였을 때 기존 방법에 비하여 약 10%의 정확도 향상을 얻을 수 있다.
