  • Recently, the ground-based laser profiler is used for acquisition of 3D spatial information of a rchaeological objects. However, it is very difficult to measure complicated objects, because of a relatively low-resolution. On the other hand, texture mapping can be a solution to complement the low resolution, and to generate 3D model with higher fidelity. But, a huge cost is required for the construction of textured 3D model, because huge labor is demanded, and the work depends on editor's experiences and skills . Moreover, the accuracy of data would be lost during the editing works. In this research, using the laser profiler and a non-calibrated digital camera, a method is proposed for the automatic generation of 3D model by integrating these data. At first, region segmentation is applied to laser range data to extract geometric features of an object in the laser range data. Various information such as normal vectors of planes, distances from a sensor and a sun-direction are used in this processing. Next, an image segmentation is also applied to the digital camera images, which include the same object. Then, geometrical relations are determined by corresponding the features extracted in the laser range data and digital camera’ images. By projecting digital camera image onto the surface data reconstructed from laser range image, the 3D texture model was generated automatically.

  • This study is part of a project to develop and improve mooring systems for oceanographic use that include an electro-optical sensor, 1MHz Nortek Aquadopp Doppler Profiler and AIRMAR multipurpose Sensor. The adaption of Doppler current profilers to measure directional wave spectra has provided a new instrumentation approach to coastal and nearshore oceanographic studies. The HEIOB is developed are light weight and of a compact design, and can be easily installed in marine environment. Since there are no base station and gateways in marine environments, we selected CDMA and Orbcomm to send the data information. Therefore, the data can be sent by either e-mail service or Short Message Service (SMS). This paper will present some of scientific sensor results regarding real-time oceanographic and meteorological parameters such as wind spend, wind direction, wave direction, and etc. The modeling and test results highlight the engineering challenges associated with designing these systems for long lifetimes. It can also be used in future application to build wave observation buoy network in real-time using multiple ubiquitous buoys that share wave data and allow analysis of multipoint, multi-layer wave profiler.

  • The Zn, Sn, and ZnSn thin films were deposited on Si(100) substrate using radio frequency (RF) magnetron co-sputtering method. A surface profiler and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to investigate the Zn, Sn, and ZnSn thin films. Thickness of the thin films was measured by a surface profiler. The deposition rates of pure Zn and Sn thin films were calculated with thickness and sputtering time for optimization. From the survey XPS spectra, we could conclude that the thin films were successfully deposited on Si(100) substrate. The chemical environment of the Zn and Sn was monitored with high resolution XPS spectra in the binding energy regions of Zn 2p, Sn 3d, O 1s, and C 1s.

  • In this study, the profiles of asphalt pavements were measured using a lightweight profiler and depths of macrotexture were analyzed based on the measured profiles. Profiles on dense graded asphalt pavement, prorous asphalt pavement, stone mastic asphalt (SMA) pavement, and base layer measured, and depth of macrotexture were calculated and analyzed. Profiles on the pavement that happened as asphalt mixture segregation were measured and depths of macrotexture were analyzed. The results showed that the depths of macrotexture of asphalt pavement were effectively calculated using the measured profiles, and the depths of macrotexture for different asphalt pavements were analyzed. The pavement areas which have asphalt mixture segregation were detected based on analysis of macrotexture depths.

  • Confocal scanning microscopy is a measurement technique used to observe micrometer and sub-micrometer features due to its high resolution, nondestructive properties, and 3D surface profiling capabilities. The design, implementation, and performance test of a confocal scanning microscopy system are presented in this paper. A short-wavelength laser (405 nm) and an objective lens with a high numerical aperture (0.95) were used to achieve the desired high resolution, while the x- and y-axis scans were implemented using an acousto-optic deflector and galvanomirror, respectively. An objective lens with a piezo-actuator was used to scan the z-axis. A spatial resolution of less than 138 nm was achieved, along with successful 3D surface reconstructions.

  • In this study, the profiles of optimized rehabilitated section was measured by a lightweight inertial profiler, and pavement smoothness was evaluated. To analyze the repeatability of the used lightweight profiler, two repeatable measurements were conducted. The agreement between two repeatable measurements were evaluated by Cross-correlation function. Pavement smoothness of the optimized rehabilitated pavement section and existing area was compared in terms of International Roughness Index and Profilograh Index. In general, the pavement smoothness of the rehabilitated sections was not good compared to the existing pavement sections. The analysis results could be used for the evaluation of pavement smoothness of the optimized rehabilitated pavement sections.

  • Laser direct writing of micro-patterned copper lines has been achieved by pyrolytic decomposition of copper formate films (Cu(HCOO)$_2$.4$H_2O$), as a metallo-organic precursor, using a focused CW Ar$^{+}$ laser beam (λ=514nm) on PCB boards and glass substrates. The linewidth and thickness of the lines wee investigated as a functin of laser power and scan speed. The profiles of the lines were measured by scanning electron microscope (SEM), surface profiler ($\alpha$-step) and atomic force measured by scanning electron microscope (SEM), surface profiler ($\alpha$-step) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The electrical resistivities of the patterned lines were also investigated as a function of laser parameters using probe station and semiconductor analyzer. We compared resistivities of the patterned copper lines with these of the Cu bulk. Resistivities decreased due to changes in morphology and porosity of the deposit, which were about 3.8 $\mu$$\Omega$cm and 12$\mu$$\Omega$cm on PCB and glass substrates after annealing at 30$0^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes.s.

  • This paper investigates the vertical profiles of horizontal mean wind speed and direction based on the synchronized measurements from a Doppler radar profiler and an anemometer during 16 tropical cyclones at a coastal site in Hong Kong. The speed profiles with both open sea and hilly exposures were found to follow the log-law below a height of 500 m. Above this height, there was an additional wind speed shear in the profile for hilly upwind terrain. The fitting parameters with both the power-law and the log-law varied with wind strength. The direction profiles were also sensitive to local terrain setups and surrounding topographic features. For a uniform open sea terrain, wind direction veered logarithmically with height from the surface level up to the free atmospheric altitude of about 1200 m. The accumulated veering angle within the whole boundary layer was observed to be $30^{\circ}$. Mean wind direction under other terrain conditions also increased logarithmically with height above 500 m with a trend of rougher exposures corresponding to lager veering angles. A number of empirical parameters for engineering applications were presented, including the speed adjustment factors, power exponents of speed profiles, and veering angle, etc. The objective of this study aims to provide useful information on boundary layer wind characteristics for wind-resistant design of high-rise structures in coastal areas.

  • The wind profiler radar provides a standing profile of the wind vector and the atmospheric physical signal for the fixed point. Since the wind vector is calculated by the manufacturer's data processing program, the quality control of the date is limited. Therefore, understanding and exploiting the raw spectrum data need to improve the quality of the wind vector. The raw data of the wind vector is the power spectral density stored in binary form. In this study, an algorithm was completed to transform the raw data into the real spectral density, and the use of raw data was evaluated by retrieving zero-order and first-order moments of the spectral based on the spectrum quality control.
