This paper proposes a novel control strategy of a PV tracking system considering the shadow influence. If distance of between PV arrays is not enough, shadow can be occurred to PV module. In PV system, if shadow is occurred to PV modules then PV modules operates reverses bias, and will eventually cause hot-spot and loss. To reduce loss by shadow influence, this paper proposes shadow compensation algorithm using distance between arrays and shadow length of array. The distance between arrays is calculated by using azimuth of solar, and length of array shadow is calculated using by altitude of solar. The shadow compensation algorithm proposed in this paper compares distance between arrays and length of array shadow. When the shadow length is longer than the distance between arrays, the algorithm adjusts altitude of array to avoid the shadow effects. The control algorithm proposed in this paper proves validity through compared with conventional algorithm and proposes experiment result.

본 논문은 대화형 광선 추적법에서 사용 가능한 새로운 그림자 컬링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 접근 방법은 그림자 자료 구조의 구축에 의한 전처리 방법 대신 프레임 간의 일관성을 이용하므로 동적 장면 상에서의 광선 추적법 처리에 적합하다. 본 알고리즘에서 그림자 계산 결과는 각각의 프리미티브 상에 저장이 되며 이 결과는 다음 프레임에 다시 사용된다. 또한 본 논문은 새로운 차폐 검사 방법을 제안한다. 이는 본 컬링 알고리즘에서 생길 수 있는 그림자 오류를 보정하며, 낮은 추가 비용을 요구한다. 실험 결과, 본 그림자 컬링 알고리즘은 7-19%의 탐색 비용 감소와 9-24%의 교차 비용 감소를 가져오는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper a novel tracking system is described, regarding the influence of shadow between array, aimed at improving the efficiency of PV tracking system. Comparing with a building site versus capacity power, domestic solar powers have a limited siting. Therefore, each array interferes with the shadow of other arrays. The loss by influence of those shadow can be compensated for by means of control algorithm of the tracking device. The paper suggests a method controlling an altitude for length which is received the shadow influence of PV array. By using an azimuth of current solar position and the length between arrays, the controller of tracking device is able to calculate the length between actual arrays and make a comparison of the shadow length at a specific time with the length between arrays. When the shadow length is longer than the length between arrays, the controller of tracking device can adjust a position by compensating error altitude of the length between arrays at an altitude of current solar position. In the paper, we develop the control algorithm able to minimize the loss caused by the influence of shadow on the PV tracking system, and compared this with conventional output system. The controller has been tested in the laboratory with proposed algorithm and shows excellent performance.

Due to complexity of diverse features in urban area, accurate feature extraction is laborious task in aerial and satellite imagery. Especially occlusion by buildings, and image distortion of shadow effects make processing more difficult work. In this study, algorithm was presented to correct of shadow effects in aerial color images. This algorithm enables user to accurately interpretate urban information by correction of shadow effects in aerial color images

This paper presents a new shadow testing acceleration scheme for ray tracing called hybrid shadow testing(HST), based on conditional switching between the conventional shadow testing method and Crow's shadow volume method, with the object polygons as well as the shadow polygons registered onto the corresponding cells under the 3-D space subdivision environment. Despite the preprocessing time for the generation and registration of the shadow polygons, the total shadow testing time of the new algorithm was approximately 50 % of that of the conventional shadow testing method for several examples while the total ray tracing time was typically reduced by 30% from the conventional approach.

본 논문에서는 컬러영상에서 나타나는 그림자의 특징을 이용하여 그림자영역을 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 그림자가 드리워진 영역은 광도와 채도가 인접한 영역보다 낮은 값을 갖으며 색상은 어두운 색을 나타낸다. 이러한 그림자 특성을 HSI 컬러공간에 적용하여 분석함으로써 그림자를 검출한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 두 단계로 구성되는데 첫 단계에서는 광도와 채도 그리고 색상에서 나타나는 그림자의 특징을 이용한 연산을 통하여 후보영역을 검출하고 다음 단계에서 객체와 다크마크(Dark Mark)를 감쇄시키기 위해 후보영역의 밝기와 채도 성분을 분석하여 실 그림자 영역만을 추출한다. 실험 결과에서, 제안한 알고리즘은 복잡하고 다양한 영상에도 효율적으로 그림자를 검출한다는 것을 보여 준다.

Building extraction is one of the essential issues for 3D city modelling. In recent years, high-resolution satellite imagery has become widely available and it brings new methodology for urban mapping. In this paper, we have developed a semi-automatic algorithm to determine building heights from monoscopic high-resolution satellite data. The algorithm is based on the analysis of the projected shadow and actual shadow of a building. Once two roof comer points are measured manually, the algorithm detects (rectangular) roof boundary automatically. Then it estimates a building height automatically by projecting building shadow onto the image for a given building height, counting overlapping pixels between the projected shadow and actual shadow, and finding the height that maximizes the number of overlapping pixels. Once the height and roof boundary are available, the footprint and a 3D wireframe model of a building can be determined. The proposed algorithm is tested with IKONOS images over Deajeon city and the result is compared with the building height determined by stereo analysis. The accuracy of building height extraction is examined using standard error of estimate.

In order to simulate OLED evaporation process, modeling of directional distribution of the vaporized organic materials, film thickness distribution profile and pattern-mask shadow effect are required In accordance with many literatures; all of them except shadow effect modeling are studied and developed. In this paper, modeling algorithm of evaporation shadow is presented for process simulation of full-color OLED evaporating system. In OLED evaporating process the offset position of the point cell-source against the substrate rotation axis and the usage of the patterned mask are the principal causes for evaporation shadow. For geometric simulation of shadow using z-map, the film thickness profile, which is condensed on a glass substrate, is converted to the z-map data. In practical evaporation process, the glass substrate is rotated. This physical fact is solved and modeled mathematically for z-map simulation. After simulating the evaporation process, the z-map data can present the shadow-effected film thickness profile. Z-map is an efficient method in that the cross-sectional presentations of the film thickness profile and thickness distribution evaluation are easily and rapidly achieved.

Searching and enhancement of shadow area in the satellite imagery is one of growing interest because of new possible needs of application in this field. This paper proposes an algorithm to search and enhance the shadow areas caused by buildings such as apartments which are very common in Korean satellite imagery. The proposed searching algorithm makes use of characteristics of histogram of images in the spatial domain and also uses the fast Fourier transform and correlation in Frequency domain. Further, the enhancement algorithm is only applied to the shadow areas searched and preserves the areas which are naturally dark.
