Imaging in the Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) provides several advantages over the visible and near-infrared regions: enhanced image resolution in in foggy or dusty environments, deep tissue penetration, surveillance capabilities with eye-safe lasers, assessment of food quality and safety. Commercially available SWIR imagers are fabricated by integrating expensive epitaxial grown III-V compound semiconductor sensors with Si-based readout integrated circuits(ROIC) by indium bump bonding Infrared image sensors made of solution-processed quantum dots have recently emerged as candidates for next-generation SWIR imagers. They combine ease of processing, tunable optoelectronic properties, facile integration with Si-based ROIC and good performance. Here, we review recent research and development trends of various application fields of SWIR image sensors and nano-materials capable of absorption and emission of SWIR band. With SWIR sensible nano-materials, new type of SWIR image sensor can replace current high price SWIR imagers.

Advances in solar-terrestrial physics are generally linked to the development of innovative new sensor technologies, affording us ever better sensitivity, higher resolution, and broader spectral response. Recent advances in low-noise InGaAs sensor technology have enabled the realization of low-light-level scientific imaging within the short-wave infrared (SWIR) region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This paper describes a new and highly sensitive ultra-wide angle imager that offers an expansion of auroral and airglow imaging capabilities into the SWIR spectral range of 900-1,700 nm. The imager has already proven successful in large-area remote sensing of mesospheric temperatures and in providing intensity maps showing the propagation and dissipation of atmospheric gravity waves and ripples. The addition of an automated filter wheel expands the range of applications of an already versatile SWIR detector. Several potential applications are proposed herein, with an emphasis on auroral science. The combined data from this type of instrument and other existing instrumentation holds a strong potential to further enhance our understanding of the geospace environment.

Since SPOT4 satellite contained VEGETATION 1 sensor launched, the noise in VEGETATION data was occasionally arisen a difficulty for the data traitement. Blind line noise types were studied in VEGETATION-l short wave infrared channel(SWIR). In order to provide a precis product, the procedure for removing this noise is strongly recommended. In the case that the blind values are clearly distinguished from contamination-free values a simple threshold method was applied, while a changeable threshold method was used for the blind value mixed with contamination-free values. New algorithm presented in this study is consists of two method for each type of SWIR blind. After removing blind line, there were again some residual pixels of blind, because the threshold is not determinated sufficiently low. Lower threshold could remove the blind line as well as the contamination-free pixels. Nevertheless, the results showed a good qualitative improvement as compared with other algorithm.

A 6-year-old spayed, female golden retriever dog was presented with a skin mass on the dorsal region of the right carpus. The cytology result of the region revealed characteristics of mast cell tumors (MCTs). Short wave-infrared fluorescence-guided surgery using Indocyanine green (ICG) was performed to determine the surgical margin of the tumor. ICG was injected intravenously 24 hours before the surgery and the patient was hospitalized and carefully monitored. During the surgery, ICG fluorescence-based surgery was performed to identify the tumor and the surgical margin. The tumor was visible, and the skin mass was resected using NIR device for the guidance of the surgical margin of the tumor. Once the resection was complete, the surgical site was again inspected with SWIR fluorescence imaging to identify residual tumor cells. The resected tumor, using ICG navigation, was classified as low-grade cutaneous MCT and the margin was complete on the histopathological result. We report herein a case of resection of a cutaneous MCT in a dog using SWIR fluorescence imaging ICG which can be potentially used for the identification of tumors and evaluation of the surgical margin for complete resection.

When tracking small UAVs and drone targets in cloud clutter environments, MWIR sensors are often unable to track targets continuously. To overcome this problem, the SWIR sensor is mounted on the same gimbal. Target tracking uses sensor information fusion or selectively applies information from each sensor. In this case, parallax correction using the target distance is often used. However, it is difficult to apply the existing method to small UAVs and drone targets because the laser rangefinder's beam divergence angle is small, making it difficult to measure the distance. We propose a tracking method which needs not parallax correction of sensors. In the method, images from MWIR and SWIR sensors are captured simultaneously and a tracking error for gimbal driving is chosen by effectiveness measure. In order to prove the method, tracking performance was demonstrated for UAVs and drone targets in the real sky background using MWIR and SWIR image sensors.

Edible insects are gaining popularity as a potential future food source because of their high protein content and efficient use of space. Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are noteworthy because they can be used as feed for various animals including reptiles, dogs, fish, chickens, and pigs. However, if the edible insect industry is to advance, we should use automation to reduce labor and increase production. Consequently, there is a growing demand for sensing technologies that can automate the evaluation of insect quality. This study used short-wave infrared (SWIR) hyperspectral imaging to predict the proximate composition of dried BSFL, including moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, and crude ash content. The larvae were dried at various temperatures and times, and images were captured using an SWIR camera. A partial least-squares regression (PLSR) model was developed to predict the proximate content. The SWIR-based hyperspectral camera accurately predicted the proximate composition of BSFL from the best preprocessing model; moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, and crude ash content were predicted with high accuracy, with R² values of 0.89 or more, and root mean square error of prediction values were within 2%. Among preprocessing methods, mean normalization and max normalization methods were effective in proximate prediction models. Therefore, SWIR-based hyperspectral cameras can be used to create automated quality management systems for BSFL.

센서 및 위성 기술의 발전에 따라 전세계적으로 다양한 고해상도 다중대역 위성영상이 활용 가능해지고 있다. 다중대역 센서가 가지는 파장에 기인한 고유한 반사, 투과, 산란 특성에 따라 다중대역 위성영상은 지구 관측에 대한 다양한 상호보완적 지표정보를 제공한다. 특히, short-wave infrared (SWIR) 대역은 긴 파장으로 인해 가시광 대역에 비해 Rayleigh 산란에 적게 영향을 받으며, 이로 인해 특정 대기입자를 투과할 수 있다는 특징을 지닌다. 산불, 폭발 등에 의해 발생된 짙은 연기는 가시광 대역의 영상의 가시성을 저하시키고 일부 지역에 대한 지표를 차폐시키는데, SWIR 대역은 이러한 연기에 의해 가려진 지역에 대한 지표정보를 추가로 제공해주기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 SWIR 대역과 가시광 대역의 영상 정보를 융합하는 다중해상도 변환 기반의 영상 융합 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 융합 기법의 목적은 상호보완적 관계에 있는 가시광 대역에서의 고해상도 세부적 배경정보와 SWIR 대역에서의 연기 지역에 대한 지표정보를 모두 내포하고 있는 단일 영상을 생성하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 라플라시안(Laplacian) 피라미드 기반의 다중해상도 변환 기법을 가시광-SWIR 영상 융합에 적용하였다. 다중해상도 변환 기법은 영상 융합에 널리 활용되는 대표적인 영상분해 기반의 방법론으로, 각각의 원 영상을 다양한 스케일로 분해하여 융합하는 기법이다. 또한, 본 연구는 다중해상도 변환 기법에 haze-guided weight map을 융합한 방법론을 제안하였다. Haze-guided weight map은 SWIR 대역이 연기와 같은 특정 대기입자를 투과하여 지표에 대한 정보를 제공해줄 수 있다는 사전지식에 기반하여 제안된 알고리즘으로 다중해상도로 분해된 두 영상을 융합하는 기준이 되는 가중치 지도로써 활용되었다. 제안된 방법론은 가시광 및 SWIR 대역을 포함하고 있는 고해상도 다중대역 위성영상인 Worldview-3 위성영상을 활용하여 검증되었다. 실험 데이터는 주변 산불로 인해 연기가 발생하여 제한된 가시성을 지닌 연기 지역을 포함하고 있으며, 제안된 방법론의 투과 특성을 검증하기 위해 선정되었다. 제안된 기법에 대한 실험결과는 영상 품질 평가 지표를 활용한 정량평가 및 시각평가를 통해 분석되었으며, 결과분석을 통해 연기 지역에 대한 지표정보를 내포하는 SWIR 대역의 밝은 특징값과 가시광 대역 내의 고해상도 정보가 손실없이 최종 융합 영상에 내포됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

Although there have been several attempts to estimate forest LAI using optical remote sensor data, there are still not enough evidences whether the NDVI is effective to estimate forest LAI, particularly in fully closed canopy situation. In this study, we have conducted a simple correlation analysis between LAI and spectral reflectance at two different settings: 1) laboratory spectral measurements on the multiple-layers of leaf samples and 2) Landsat ETM+ reflectance in the close canopy forest stands with fieldmeasured LAI. In both cases, the correlation coefficients between LAI and spectral reflectance were higher in short-wave infrared (SWIR) and visible wavelength regions. Although the near-IR reflectance showed positive correlations with LAI, the correlations strength is weaker than in SWIR and visible region. The higher correlations were found with the spectral reflectance data measured on the simulated vegetation samples than with the ETM+ reflectance on the actual forests. In addition, there was no significant correlation between the forest.LAI and NDVI, in particular when the LAI values were larger than three. The SWIR reflectance may be important factor to improve the potential of optical remote sensor data to estimate forest LAI in close canopy situation.
