본 연구는 개선된 '다중센서 기반 무인 서리관측시스템(MFOS, Multiple-sensor based Frost Observation System)'을 소개하였다. 개선된 시스템인 MFOS v2는 엽면습윤센서를 기반으로 서리 감지는 물론, 서리 발생 주요 인자인 표면온도 예측을 위한 기능도 겸한다. 기존 관측 시스템은 1) 엽면습윤센서 표면이 대부분의 가시광선을 반사하기 때문에 RGB 카메라로 엽면습윤센서 촬영 시 표면에 발생한 얼음(서리) 관측이 어려움, 2) 일출 전과 후에 RGB 카메라 촬영 결과가 어두움, 3) 열적외선 카메라가 온도의 상대적인 고저만을 보여주는 단점들이 존재하였다. 엽면습윤센서 표면에 발생한 얼음(서리) 파악을 위해 검정색으로 표면 도색된 엽면습윤센서를 추가 설치하였고, 동일한 높이에 유리판들을 설치하여 얼음(서리) 발생 확인을 위한 보조 도구로 활용하였다. 일출 전과 후에 RGB 카메라 촬영을 위해 카메라 촬영 시간에 맞춰 전원이 On/Off 되도록 LED 조명을 연동시켜 설치하였다. 상대적인 온도의 높고 낮음 판단만 가능했던 기존의 열적외선 카메라도 픽셀당 온도 값 추출이 가능하도록 개선하였다. 이러한 개선 사항들을 반영한 MFOS v2는 실제 농경지에 설치하여 운영 중이며, 서리예측 모델에 들어갈 입력자료를 생산하는 진보된 서리 관측시스템으로서 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다.

A quantitative flow visualization technique was developed to measure velocity and temperature fields simultaneously in a two-dimensional cross section of thermo-fluid flows. Thermochromic liquid crystal(TLC) particles are used as temperature sensor and velocity tracers. Illuminating a thermo-fluid flow with a thin sheet of white light, the reflected colors from the TLC particles in the flow were captured simultaneously by two CCD cameras; a 3-chip CCD color camera for temperature field measurement and a black and white CCD camera for velocity field measurement. Variations of temperature field were measured by using a HSI true color image processing system and TLC solution. The relationship between the hue values of TLC color image and real temperature was obtained and this calibration curve was used to measure the true temperature under the same camera and illumination condition. The velocity field was obtained by using a 2-frame PTV technique using the concept of match-probability to track true velocity vectors from two consecutive image frames. These two techniques were applied at the same time to the unsteady thermal-fluid flow in a Hele-Shaw cell to measure the temperature and velocity field simultaneously and some results are discussed.

The applicability of UPT (Ultrasound Pulse Thermography) for real-time defect detection of the ceramic heating plate is described. The ceramic heating plate with superior insulation and high radiation is used to control the water temperature in underwater environment. The underwater temperature control system can be damaged owing to the short circuit, which resulted from the defect of the ceramic heating plate. A high power ultrasonic energy with pulse duration of 280 ms was injected into the ceramic heating plate in the vertical direction. The ultrasound excited vibration energy sent into the component propagate inside the sample until they were converted to the heat in the vicinity of the defect. Therefore, an injection of the ultrasound pulse wave which results in heat generation, turns the defect into a local thermal wave transmitter. Its local emission is monitored and recorded via the thermal infrared camera at the surface which is processed by image recording system. Measurements were Performed on 4 kinds of samples, composed of 3 intact plates and the defect plate. The observed thermal image revealed two area of crack in the defective ceramic heating plate.

영상을 이용한 생체 신호 측정 기술이 발전하고 있으며, 특히 생명 유지를 위한 호흡 신호 측정기술 연구가 지속적으로 진행되고 있다. 기존 기술은 사람의 몸에서 방출하는 열을 측정하는 열화상 카메라를 통하여 호흡 신호를 측정하였다. 또한, 실시간으로 사람의 흉부 움직임을 분석하여 호흡률을 측정하는 연구도 진행되었다. 하지만, 적외선 열화상 영상을 이용하여 영상 처리를 하는 것은 외부 환경 요인으로 인해 호흡 기관의 탐색이 어려울 수 있으며, 이에 따라 호흡률 측정의 정확도가 떨어지는 문제들이 발생했다. 본 연구에서는 호흡 기관의 영역 탐색을 강화하기 위해 가시광 및 적외선 열화상 카메라를 이용하여 영상을 취득하였다. 그리고 두 영상을 기반으로 얼굴 인식, 영상 정합 등의 과정을 통해 호흡 기관 영역의 특징을 추출한다. 추출한 특징 값을 통계학적 분류 방법 중 하나인 k-최근접 이웃 분류기를 통해 호흡 신호의 패턴을 분류한다. 분류한 패턴의 특성에 따라 호흡률을 계산하며, 측정한 호흡률의 성능을 확인하기 위해 실제 호흡률과 비교 과정을 통해 분석함으로써, 호흡률 측정의 가능성을 확인하였다.

The aim of this study is to investigate facial temperature changes induced by facial expression and emotional state in order to recognize a persons emotion using facial thermal images. Background: Facial thermal images have two advantages compared to visual images. Firstly, facial temperature measured by thermal camera does not depend on skin color, darkness, and lighting condition. Secondly, facial thermal images are changed not only by facial expression but also emotional state. To our knowledge, there is no study to concurrently investigate these two sources of facial temperature changes. Method: 231 students participated in the experiment. Four kinds of stimuli inducing anger, fear, boredom, and neutral were presented to participants and the facial temperatures were measured by an infrared camera. Each stimulus consisted of baseline and emotion period. Baseline period lasted during 1min and emotion period 1~3min. In the data analysis, the temperature differences between the baseline and emotion state were analyzed. Eyes, mouth, and glabella were selected for facial expression features, and forehead, nose, cheeks were selected for emotional state features. Results: The temperatures of eyes, mouth, glanella, forehead, and nose area were significantly decreased during the emotional experience and the changes were significantly different by the kind of emotion. The result of linear discriminant analysis for emotion recognition showed that the correct classification percentage in four emotions was 62.7% when using both facial expression features and emotional state features. The accuracy was slightly but significantly decreased at 56.7% when using only facial expression features, and the accuracy was 40.2% when using only emotional state features. Conclusion: Facial expression features are essential in emotion recognition, but emotion state features are also important to classify the emotion. Application: The results of this study can be applied to human-computer interaction system in the work places or the automobiles.

Active thermography has been used for several years in the field of remote non-destructive testing. It provides thermal images for remote detection and imaging of damages. Also, it is based on propagation and reflection of thermal waves which are launched from the surface into the inspected component by absorption of modulated radiation. For energy deposition, it use external heat sources (e.g., halogen lamp or convective heating) or internal heat generation (e.g., microwaves, eddy current, or elastic wave). Among the external heat sources, the ultrasound is generally used for energy deposition because of defect selective heating up. The heat source generating a thermal wave is provided by the defect itself due to the attenuation of amplitude modulated ultrasound. A defect causes locally enhanced losses and consequently selective heating up. Therefore amplitude modulation of the injected ultrasonic wave turns a defect into a thermal wave transmitter whose signal is detected at the surface by thermal infrared camera. This way ultrasound thermography(UT) allows for selective defect detection which enhances the probability of defect detection in the presence of complicated intact structures. In this paper the applicability of UT for fast defect detection is described. Examples are presented showing the detection of defects in PCB material. Measurements are performed on various kinds of typical defects in PCB materials (both Cu metal and non-metal epoxy). The obtained thermal image reveals area of defect in row of thick epoxy material and PCB.

암석시료에 응력이 가해질 경우 역학적 에너지가 대상 물체에 누적되고, 대상 암석에 한계응력 이상이 가해질 경우 시료의 파괴가 발생한다. 이 때 시료 내부에 저장되어 있던 역학적 에너지는 물리적 변형뿐만 아니라 빛, 열, 소리 등 다양한 형태의 에너지로 발산된다. 본 연구에서는 $-10^{\circ}C$ 저온 환경에서 섬록암, 현무암, 응회암을 대상으로 일축압축강도 시험과 점하중강도 시험을 수행하고, 이때 발생하는 온도 변화를 열적외선카메라를 이용해 측정하고 정량적으로 분석하였다. 파괴 직전 파괴면에 응력이 집중되어 온도가 상승하였고, 파괴 순간 축적된 에너지가 열에너지의 형태로 방출되며 파괴면의 온도가 급격히 상승하는 것이 감지되었다. 강도가 높고 신선한 섬록암과 현무암 시료의 온도 상승폭이 상대적으로 강도가 낮고 풍화된 암석인 응회암 시료의 온도 상승폭에 비해 더 크게 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 저온지역에 위치한 암반사면, 터널, 광산 내부의 응력 집중지점을 감지해 향후 발생 가능한 재해를 예방하는데 적용될 수 있으며, 지진예측을 위한 위성영상 분석에도 적용될 것으로 기대된다.

Here we present a simple flame detection method for an infrared (IR) thermal camera based real-time fire surveillance digital signal processor (DSP) system. Infrared thermal cameras are especially advantageous for unattended fire surveillance. All-weather monitoring is possible, regardless of illumination and climate conditions, and the data quantity to be processed is one-third that of color videos. Conventional IR camera-based fire detection methods used mainly pixel-based temporal correlation functions. In the temporal correlation function-based methods, temporal changes in pixel intensity generated by the irregular motion and spreading of the flame pixels are measured using correlation functions. The correlation values of non-flame regions are uniform, but the flame regions have irregular temporal correlation values. To satisfy the requirement of early detection, all fire detection techniques should be practically applied within a very short period of time. The conventional pixel-based correlation function is computationally intensive. In this paper, we propose an IR camera-based simple flame detection algorithm optimized with a compact embedded DSP system to achieve early detection. To reduce the computational load, block-based calculations are used to select the candidate flame region and measure the temporal motion of flames. These functions are used together to obtain the early flame detection algorithm. The proposed simple algorithm was tested to verify the required function and performance in real-time using IR test videos and a real-time DSP system. The findings indicated that the system detected the flames within 5 to 20 seconds, and had a correct flame detection ratio of 100% with an acceptable false detection ratio in video sequence level.

The Multi-Spectral Camera (MSC) is the payload of KOMPSAT-2 which is designed for earth imaging in optical and near-infrared region on a sun-synchronous orbit. The telescope in the MSC is a Ritchey-Chretien type with large aperture. The telescope structure should be well stabilized and the optical alignment should be kept steady so that best images can be achieved. However, the MSC is exposed to adverse thermal environment on the orbit which can give impacts on optical performance. Solar incidence can bring non-uniform temperature rise on the telescope tube which entails unfavorable thermal distortion. Three ways of preventing the solar radiation were proposed, which were installing external mechanical shield, internal shield, and maneuvering the spacecraft. After trade-off study, internal sun shield was selected as a practical and optimal solution to minimize the effect of the solar radiation. In addition, detailed designs of the structure and sunshield were produced and analyses have been performed. The results were assessed to verify their impacts to the image quality. It was confirmed that the internal sunshield complies with the requirements and would improve image quality.
