In this parer, face recognition method which can be applied to ITCS (interactive TV control system) is proposed. We extracted ULBP(uniform local binary pattern) histogram feature from infra-red images, and we detected left-right eyes and face region by using SVM classifier. Then, We implemented face recognition system which is using Gabor transform and ULBP histogram feature and applied to personal verification for ITCS.

In this paper, we evaluated the effect with respect to the light of 700-1,100 nm NIR(near infrared radiation) for spectrophotometer. Standard, red, yellow, green and blue color paper which was Munsell color paper were used for experiments. Our used light is incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp, invert fluorescent lamp and combined lamp. Each color paper was measured 20 times. Therefore we concluded that it is possible to build a spectrophotometer for NIR(near infrared radiation) measurement we applied an spectrophotometer to measurement system in incandescent lamp.

보안 시스템의 중요성이 늘어남에 따라 열악한 CCTV 영상 환경에서의 범죄 예방 및 검거의 중요성이 늘어나고 있다. 본 논문은 CCTV의 제약 환경에 맞는 데이터 취득, 근적외선 및 가시영역 혼합 영상의 분리 및 복원 방법을 제안한다. 데이터 취득 및 학습시킨 데이터의 성능은 PSNR 방법을 이용해 비교하였고, 저조도 영역의 근적외선과 가시영역의 분리 성능은 34dB 이상이 나왔다. 색 복원은 PSNR 측면에서는 22.5dB가 나왔고, 저조도 영역의 분리 성능과 비교하여 낮은 성능을 기록하다. 색복원의 평가 정도는 원본 영상과 주관적 평가방법을 사용하여 비교하였다.

In this paper, we introduced a near-infrared multi-channel fluorescence imaging system and analyzed the effects of measurements variables such as exposure time, working distance and intensity of excitation light. Fluorescence signal is increased as exposure time becomes longer, excitation light intensity increases or working distance becomes smaller. Furthermore, the proper composition of optical filters and precise packaging of the imaging modules prevent the increase of background signal. Thus, we confirmed an increase in SBR. Based on the result of this research, we proposed a method to use a multi-channel fluorescence imaging system.

Venous puncture is widely used to obtain blood samples for pathological examination. Because the invasive venipuncture method using a needle is repeatedly performed, the pain suffered by the patient increases, so our research team pre-developed a miniaturized near-infrared (NIR) imaging system in advance. To improve the image quality of the acquired NIR images, this study aims to model the non-local means (NLM) algorithm, which is well known to be efficient in noise reduction, and analyze its applicability in the system. The developed NIR imaging system is based on the principle that infrared rays pass through dichroic and long-pass filters and are detected by a CMOS sensor module. The proposed NLM algorithm is modeled based on the principle of replacing the pixel from which noise is to be removed with a value that reflects the distances between surrounding pixels. After acquiring an NIR image with a central wavelength of 850 nm, the NLM algorithm was applied to segment the final vein area through histogram equalization. As a result, the coefficient of variation of the NIR image of the vein using the NLM algorithm was 0.247 on average, which was an excellent result compared to conventional filtering methods. In addition, the dice similarity coefficient value of the NLM algorithm was improved by 62.91 and 9.40%, respectively, compared to the median filter and total variation methods. In conclusion, we demonstrated that the NLM algorithm can acquire accurate segmentation of veins acquired with a NIR imaging system.

Recently, there have been previous research about the iris recognition in mobile device to increase portability, whose accuracy is affected by the quality of iris image. Iris image is affected by illumination environment during the image acquisition. The existing system has high accuracy in indoor environment. However the accuracy is degraded in outdoor environment, because the gray levels of iris patterns in image are changed, and ghost and eyelash shading regions are produced by the sunlight of various wavelengths into iris region. To overcome these problems, we propose new mobile iris camera system which uses the near-infrared (NIR) light illuminator of 850 nm and band pass filter (BPF) of 850 nm. To measure the performance of the proposed system, we compared it to the existing one with the iris images captured in indoor and outdoor sunlight environments in terms of the equal error rates (EER) based on false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR). The experimental result showed that the proposed system had the lower EERs than those of previous system by 0.96% (with frontal light in indoors), 4.94% (with frontal light in outdoor), 9.24% (with side light in outdoor), and 7% (with back light in outdoor), respectively.

Fluorescent images using near-infrared light have no worry about radioactivity, and images can be checked in real time during surgery. Therefore experiments using fluorescent images for monitoring lymph node biopsy are actively under way. Fluorescent imaging equipment uses high heat-generating components such as LED and camera, thus uses water-cooling system as a stable heating suppression means. However in the fluorescent image equipment, the water cooling system takes a large volume which is a disadvantage in terms of miniaturization of the equipment. Even if the air cooling system is used for miniaturizing the equipment, heat generation is a problem. In this paper, we have experimented with the air cooling method using PWM control for the miniaturization of the equipment, and confirmed the constant quality of the fluorescent image and the suppression of the heat generation without any problems even when the equipment is used for a long time.

With high temporal resolution, four times receiving during a day, MODIS images from Terra and Aqua satellites provide several advantages for monitoring spacious land. Especially, diverse MODIS products related to land, atmosphere, and ocean have been provided with radiance MODIS images. The products such as surface reflectance, NDVI, cloud mask, aerosol etc. are based on theoretical algorithms developed in academic areas. Comparing with other change detection studies mainly using the vegetation index, this study investigated temporal surface reflectance of landcovers for five years from 2004 to 2008. The near infrared (NIR) reflectance in urbanized and burned areas showed considerable difference before and after events. The specific characteristics of surface reflectance temporal profiles are possibly useful for the detection of landcover changes and classification.

현대의 스마트폰 및 태블릿pc등을 가능하게 만든 집적 기술 중의 하나는 3차원 집적 회로(3D-IC)와 같은 패키징 기술이다. 이러한 첨단 3차원 집적 기술은 메모리집적을 통한 대용량 메모리 모듈 개발뿐만 아니라, 메모리와 프로세서의 집적, high-end FPGA, Back side imaging (BSI) 센서 모듈, MEMS 센서와 ASIC 집적, High Bright (HB) LED 모듈 등에 적용되고 있다. 3D-IC의 3차원 모듈 제작 시에는 기존에 발생하지 않았던 여러 가지 파괴 모드들이 발생하고 있는데 Thermal/Photonic Emission 장비 등 기존의 2차원 결함분리 (Fault Isolation) 기술로는 첨단의 3차원 적층 제품들에서 발생하는 불량을 비파괴적으로 혹은 3차원적으로 분리하는 것이 불가능하므로, 비파괴 3차원 결함 분리 기술은 향후 선행 제품 적기 개발에 매우 필수적인 기술이다. 본 연구는 3D-IC 반도체의 비파괴적 내부결함 검사를 위하여 가시광선-근적외선 대역(351nm~1770nm)의 InGaAs (Indium Galium Arsenide) 계열 영상검출기 (imaging detector)를 사용하여 분광 시스템 광학 설계를 통한 초분광 영상 기반 검출 모듈을 제작하였다. 제작된 초분광 영상 기반 검출 모듈을 이용하여 구리 회로 위에 실리콘 웨이퍼가 3단 적층 된 반도체 더미 샘플의 초분광 영상을 촬영하였으며, 촬영된 초분광 영상에 대하여 Chemometrics model 기반의 분석기술을 적용하여 실리콘 웨이퍼 내부의 집적 구조에 대한 검사가 가능함을 확인하였다.

This paper presents an active vision system for ITS(intelligent transportation system : ITS). We have described a novel method to provide high quality imaging signals to a system that will perform passenger detection and counting in the roadway. The method calls for two co-registered near-infrared cameras with spectral sensitivity above (upper-band) and below (lower-band) the quality of the signal remains. We propose a novel system based on fusion of near-infrared imaging signals and we demonstrate its adequacy with theoretical and experimental arguments.
