In these days, demand of a LCD monitor is remarkably increasing with development of the LCD technology. However, there are thermal problems for improvement of efficiency for the LCD monitor. Thus, this research analyzed thermal problems such as convection and conduction heat transfer characteristics in the LCD monitor using an infrared (IR) camera. Also, the results of the outer side of the front LCD panel using the IR camera have been compared with the results of the inner side of the front panel using T-type thermocouples. The equations have been derived for the temperature distribution of the inner side of the front LCD panel by a multiple regression method including variables for ambient temperature, humidity and temperature differences between the front and back panels of the LCD monitor.

A laser moxibustion therapy device having effect similar to that of traditional moxibustion is being developed using 1064 nm infrared laser. The therapy device allows direct interaction of laser light with the tissue rendering temperature distribution both on the skin surface and deep under the skin. We made a device that could measure temperature of deep under the surface of agar gel tissue phantom using thermocouples. A thermal imaging camera was used to verify results from the temperature measurement device. We compared the characteristics of heat transfer inside the tissue phantom during moxibustion and laser irradiation. The temperature distribution measured by thermocouples was found to be similar to that of distribution given by thermal imaging camera.

In this study, it is contemporaneously understood that tile attachment on CRC board do not have a regulated standard on quality control and construction. Furthermore, there is also a definite lack of standardization on nondestructive inspection of tiles. This thesis investigates a diagnosis method of spot bonding tile attachment using infrared thermal camera as a way to propose a systematic nondestructive inspection method after tile construction.

Many studies have been conducted to ensure that Visual Place Recognition is reliable in various environments, including edge cases. However, existing approaches use visible imaging sensors, RGB cameras, which are greatly influenced by illumination changes, as is widely known. Thus, in this paper, we use an invisible imaging sensor, a long wave length infrared camera (LWIR) instead of RGB, that is shown to be more reliable in low-light and highly noisy conditions. In addition, although the camera sensor used to solve this problem is an LWIR camera, but since the thermal image is converted into RGB image the proposed method is highly compatible with existing algorithms and databases. We demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the baseline method by about 0.19 for recall performance.

This paper proposes a method to calibrate a thermal camera with three different perspectives. In particular, the intrinsic parameters of the camera and re-projection errors were provided to quantify the accuracy of the calibration result. Three lenses of the camera capture the same image, but they are not overlapped, and the image resolution is worse than the one captured by the RGB camera. In computer vision, camera calibration is one of the most important and fundamental tasks to calculate the distance between camera (s) and a target object or the three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of a point in a 3D object. Once calibration is complete, the intrinsic and the extrinsic parameters of the camera(s) are provided. The intrinsic parameters are composed of the focal length, skewness factor, and principal points, and the extrinsic parameters are composed of the relative rotation and translation of the camera(s). This study estimated the intrinsic parameters of thermal cameras that have three lenses of different perspectives. In particular, image enhancement based on a deep learning algorithm was carried out to improve the quality of the calibration results. Experimental results are provided to substantiate the proposed method.

Satrec Initiative successfully developed and verified a high-resolution electro-optical camera system, EOS-D Ver.1.0. We designed this system to give improved spatial and radiometric resolution compared with EOS-C series systems. The thermal control subsystem (TCS) of the EOS-D Ver.1.0 uses heaters to meet the opto-mechanical requirements during in-orbit operation and uses different thermal coatings and multi-layer insulation (MLI) blankets to minimize the heater power consumption. Also, we designed and verified a refocusing mechanism to compensate the misalignment caused by moisture desorption from the metering structure. We verified the design margin and workmanship by conducting the qualification level thermal vacuum test. We also performed the verification of thermal math model (TMM) by comparing with thermal balance test results. As a result, we concluded that it faithfully represents the thermal characteristics of the EOS-D Ver.1.0.

Recently, solar power plants have spread widely as part of the transition to greater environmental protection and renewable energy. Therefore, regular solar plant inspection is necessary to efficiently manage solar-light modules. This study implemented a test that can detect solar-light module faults using an UAV based thermal infrared camera and GIS spatial analysis. First, images were taken using fixed UAV and an RGB camera, then orthomosaic images were created using Pix4D SW. We constructed solar-light module layers from the orthomosaic images and inputted the module layer code. Rubber covers were installed in the solar-light module to detect solar-light module faults. The mean temperature of each solar-light module can be calculated using the Zonalmean function based on temperature information from the UAV thermal camera and solar-light module layer. Finally, locations of solar-light modules of more than $37^{\circ}C$ and those with rubber covers can be extracted automatically using GIS spatial analysis and analyzed specifically using the solar-light module's identifying code.

Diagnosis or measurements using Infrared thermoimage hasn't been available. A quick diagnosis and thermal analysis can be possible when that kind of system is introduced to the investigation of each part. In this study, Infrared Camera, Thermovision 900 was used in order to investigate. Infrared Camera usually detects only Infrared wave from the light in order to illustrate the temperature distribution. Infrared diagnosis system can be applied to various field. Also, it is more effective to analyze temperature distribution on the welding parts during welding process. Especially, diagnosis using Infrared camera plays an important role on thermal analysis of Axle Casing Nut for Commercial Vehicles.

According to the national space program in Korea, is satellites will be launch into space up to 2015. Especially, KARI is going to develope of its own a high resolution camera of less than 1m to be mounted on next Multipurpose Satellite. When performing testing of large spacecraft or hardware that will be launched into orbit, it is necessary to conduct a testing with space-simulated environment. To achieve this requirement, thermal vacuum chamber is generally used. KARI has been developed a very Large Thermal Vacuum Chamber(LTVC) from 2003 to accomodate future space program, such as KOMPSAT, COMS, and Launch vehicles. This new facility will be used to qualify the first self developed High Resolution Camera, which will be loaded on KOMPSAT-3. To perform an optical test for space camera, it is necessary to provide vibration free environment. Thus the vibration responses on the optical table due to external vibration should be minimized by using a special isolation system. In this paper, we propose the concept design of vibration isolation system for the development of the high resolution camera.
