Abstract

This study presented the possibility of automatic frost observation and the related image data acquisition through the design and installation of a Multiple-sensor based Frost Observation System (MFOS). The MFOS is composed of an RGB camera, a thermal camera and a leaf wetness sensor, and each device performs complementary roles. Through the test operation of the equipment before the occurrence of frost, the voltage value of the leaf wetness sensor increased when maintaining high relative humidity in the case of no precipitation. In the case of Gapyeong- gun, the high relative humidity was maintained due to the surrounding agricultural waterways, so the voltage value increased significantly. In the RGB camera image, leaf wetness sensor and the surface were not observed before sunrise and after sunset, but were observed for the rest of the time. In the case of precipitation, the voltage value of the leaf wetness sensor rapidly increased during the precipitation period and decreased after the precipitation was terminated. In the RGB camera image, the leaf wetness sensor and surface were observed regardless of the precipitation phenomenon, but the thermal camera image was taken due to the precipitation phenomenon, but the leaf wetness sensor and surface were not observed. Through, where actual frost occurred, it was confirmed that the voltage value of leaf wetness sensor was higher than the range corresponding to frost, but frost was observed on the surface and equipment surface by the RGB camera.

본 연구는 MFOS라 명명한 다중센서 기반의 서리 관측 시스템의 고안 및 설치를 통해 서리의 자동 관측 가능성 및 실제 서리 발생 시 관련 영상 자료를 제시하였다. MFOS의 구성은 RGB 카메라, 열화상 카메라, LWS이며, 각 장비들은 서로 상보적인 역할을 수행한다. 서리 발생 전 장비의 시험 운영을 통해, 무강수 사례인 경우 높은 상대습도를 유지할 때 LWS의 전압값은 증가하였고, 특히 주변의 농수로로 인해 높은 상대습도가 유지되는 가평군 관측지에서 크게 증가하였다. RGB 카메라 이미지에서는 일출 전과 일몰 후에 LWS와 지표면을 관측할 수 없었으나 나머지 시간에 대해서는 가능하였다. 강수 사례의 경우 강수 기간 동안 LWS의 전압값은 급격하게 증가하였고, 강수 종료 후 감소하였다. RGB 카메라 이미지는 강수 현상과 상관없이 LWS와 지표면을 관측하였다. 반면, 열화상 카메라의 경우 강수 현상으로 인해 이미지 촬영은 되었지만 LWS와 지표면을 관측하지 못했다. 실제 서리가 발생한 사례의 자료를 통해, LWS의 전압값이 서리에 해당하는 범위보다 높더라도 RGB 카메라가 서리의 지표면 및 장비 표면 발생을 관측할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
