Comer point is a very important information to a pattern recognition of image processing. And so, many researchers develope various detecting comer point algoritms. But, there are some problems to get comer points by 8 directional chain code when the degree of edge line is not integer multiplication of 45 degree. So, we propose a new algorithm which is combined with morphology and human visual conception for optimal comer points without the above defects. We get a good simulation result by this proposed algorithm Ana so, we think this algorithm is very useful to FA(factory automation} and ship's radar system to know some coastal area from its image.

This paper presents the design of a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave(FMCW) radar altimeter with wide altitude range and low measurement errors. Wide altitude range is achieved by employing the optic delay in the transmitting path to reduce the dynamic range of measuring altitude. Transmitting power and receiver gain are also controlled to have the dynamic range of the received power be reduced. In addition, low measurement errors are obtained by improving the sweep linearity using the Direct Digital Synthesizer(DDS) and minimizing the phase noise employing the reference clock(Ref_CLK) as the offset frequency of the Phase Locked Loop(PLL).

In the VTS, the predictions of vessel mobility and situation awareness of maritime environment are basic function. In recent years, pilotage information is an essential aware element of VTS personnel for vessel traffic management. So, we designed the structure of pilotage information service with VTS and tested in real environment. In the future, similar pilotage information can be used as a useful VTS service.

In this paper, we analyze the radio propagation path loss characteristics for the vertical electric dipole radiation over the perfect electric conductor(PEC) ground plane. Most research have been performed about the electromagnetic analysis of vertical electric dipole in free space for time domain or frequency domain. But this paper present the radio propagation path loss over PEC ground plane in time domain under the assumption of the vertical electric dipole as a base station. From the simulated results, the ground plane effect can change the location of near field from transmitting antenna and the transient responses at mobile are calculated. The results of this paper can be applied to surface radar or signal processing applications.

EED consists of bridgewire, explosive charge, lead pins and metal case. If a firing signal is injected to EED， the explosive charge in EED is initiated by heating of bridgewire. Electromagnetic waves radiated from high power transmitters or radars can also cause unexpected firing of EED. Therefore, EMC design and test requirements for EED in military specifications are established and applied. This report describes the characteristics of RF sensitivity fur a firing fuse which is used fur EMC test instead of a real EED installed in aircraft. RF firing level of the fuse was predicted using transmission line(TL) theory. n sensitivity and RF sensitivity specified in military specifications were measured.

We have studied an efficient threshold level for desired target detection in radar system in the paper. A desired target searching detection method detects desired target according to changing for false alarm probability. This time, false alarm probability is close relation to threshold level. Low threshold level can improve detection for desired target, but detect noise signal. Therefor, This method is not good one. In this paper, we propose efficient threshold level method in order to estimation for desired target. Through simulation, we are analysis and performance to compare general method with proposal method. We show that proposed method is more good proof than general method.

Jamming simulator has developed for the purpose of the test and evaluation on the electronic protection capabilities of the tracking radar onboard ship. This simulator has the capabilities to generate and radiate the jamming signals against the radar as well as those to receive, analyze and identify the radar signals at a real sea environment. The limited space of ship superstructure has led to the serious distortion caused by the ring around phenomenon that some sidelobes of the jamming beams were coming back to the receiving antenna. In this paper, we have proposed the methods to eliminate the ring around. First, we have inserted the groove metal screen between transmitting and receiving antennas. Second, we have used the PRI(Pulse Repetition Interval) tracking loop to control the switching timing of the input radar and the output jamming signal. Finally, we have demonstrated the performance and effectiveness of the proposed methods through the sea trial.

Electronic warfare systems are needed to be advantageous in the modern war. Many radar threat signals with various frequency spectrums and complicated techniques exist. For detecting the threats, a receiver with wide and narrow-band digital processing is needed. To process a wide-band searching mode, a polyphase filter bank has become the architecture of choice to efficiently detect threats. A polyphase N-path filter aligns the re-sampled time series in each path, and a discrete Fourier transform aligns phase and separates the sub-channel baseband aliases. Multiple threats and CW are detected or rejected when the signals are received in different sub-channels. And also, to process a narrow-band precision mode, a direct down converter is needed to reduce aliasing by using a decimation filter. These digital logics are designed in a FPGA. This paper shows how to design and develop a wide and narrow-band digital receiver that is capable to detect the threats.

Clusters generated by features such as mountains or buildings are considered as the contaminated data that are independent of atmospheric phenomena. The basic way to reduce the clutter signal is to install a clutter fence around the wind profiler. In order to investigate the effect of clutter fence on the wind profiler data, the wind vector collection rate and wind vector accuracy of wind profiler was investigated before and after clutter fence installation. The clutter fence of wind profiler contributed to improve the data quality as well as the data collection rate.

하천 및 저수지와 같은 공간의 수체 탐지는 수자원 관리에서 매우 중요하며, 유역의 수문학적 과정을 이해하는데 도움을 준다. 수문학적 데이터 수집은 우량계, 수위계와 같은 물리적 인프라의 배치가 필요하다. 그러나 상대적으로 저개발된 국가는 수문학적 측정을 위한 인프라가 매우 미흡한 것이 현실이며, 북한과 같은 비접근 지역에 대한 수문학적 과정을 분석하는데는 한계가 있다. 인공위성 원격탐사 센서 중 SAR영상은 지표면에 직접 전파를 방사하고 산란되어 돌아오는 신호를 수신하여 영상을 만들기 때문에 일반적인 광학영상과는 달리 햇빛의 유무와 강우, 구름여부 등의 기상 조건의 영향을 거의 받지 않는 장점이 있다. 또한 국내와 같이 계절적인 요인과 인간활동에 의해 변화되는 물 순환을 SAR 영상은 지표수의 계절적 및 연간 변동성을 모니터링하는데 매우 유용한 자료로 평가되고 있다. 본 연구는 SAR영상을 이용하여 국내의 검증 가능한 지역의 저수지 수면적 변화를 모니터링하고 저수지 수면적과 저수량 분석을 수행하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 분석자료인 SAR영상은 ESA의 Sentinel-1영상을 2022년 4월부터 2022년 11월의 자료를 수집하여 소양강댐 저수지 수면적과 저수량과의 관계식을 도출하였다. 수체 추출을 위한 SAR 영상은 특히 수로의 일부 가장자리와 홍수터의 식물 존재로 인한 제외지의 매핑에 부정확성을 포함하여 처리에 몇 가지 단점을 갖는 한계도 존재하지만 악천후의 기상 조건에서도 작동할 수 있는 SAR 영상의 능력 덕분에 규칙적인 시간 간격으로 수체면적의 변화에 대한 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 향후 북한 지역의 주요 댐 저수지 수면적에 대한 연간변화와 장기간의 추세를 분석하는 연구를 진행할 계획이다.
