고전 천수방정식을 적용한 2차원 도시홍수 모델링에서는 지형의 정확한 반영을 위해 고해상도 격자가 요구되며 이는 많은 계산시간과 노력을 필요로 한다. 최근에는 다공성 천수방정식을 적용한 도시홍수해석으로 많은 계산 노력이 요구되는 도시홍수모델링의 한계를 극복한 연구가 많이 이루어지지고 있다. 이러한 연구는 도시 홍수에서 흐름이 공간적으로 변화할 때 불균일 공극이 존재하므로 격자의 크기를 다르게 하여 이러한 불균일성을 해결하고자 하는 등방성 천수모형의 적용에서 시작되었다. 하지만, 등방성 공극을 고려한 도시홍수 해석모형은 대표요소체적(REV)보다 더 큰 격자의 적용을 해야 하는 제한성을 가진다. 반면, 비등방성 공극은 대표요소체적의 적용이 필요하지 않아 불균일 공극의 크기에 관계없이 이론상으로는 동일한 해상도의 격자가 사용가능하긴 하지만, 실제 도시홍수 해석에서 중요하면서도 도전적인 연구이다. 본 연구에서는 도시홍수의 효율적 계산을 위해 비등방성 공극을 고려한 적분형 다공성 천수방정식을 기반으로 하는 2차원 도시홍수 해석모형을 개발하였다. 모형의 개발을 위해, 적용 격자내에서 도시지역의 건물이 차지하는 길이 및 면적을 산정하고 그 값을 2차원 천수방정식에 적용 가능하도록 체적공극(𝜙_j)와 면적공극(𝜓_k)을 2차원 고전 천수방정식에 추가하였다. 개발모형은 고전 천수방정식, 등방성 공극 고려(미분형 다공성) 천수방정식 및 비등방성 공극 고려(적분형 다공성) 천수방정식의 적용이 가능하여, 각 모형에 적합한 2차원 격자 생성, 각 모형의 매개변수를 보정 그리고 정확성, 효율성, 적용성이 비교 가능하다. 각 모형의 정확성과 효율성 비교를 위해 3가지의 오차 비교 (구조적 오차, 격자크기 오차, 공극 모형 오차), 계산시간 비교, 공간 변동성 검증을 위한 수심 종단형상 비교하였다.

A Scene Based Technique(SBT) that corrects linear array infrared detector's nonuniformity is proposed. Basically, this technique dispenses with using temperature references on a linear array infrared detector. To correct the nonuniformity of infrared images, we use three methods. Firstly, we detect bad channels by using the information which is cumulated all the same line pixels. Secondly, a variable window method is applied to compensate more accurately. Thirdly, an adaptive method which updates gain and offset coefficient is used only on a stationary region. These results are demonstrated on a computer simulation with various images. As a result, the nonuniformity is corrected completely, so that images are enhanced and PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio) is improved much.

This paper has presented to the design results of the analog and digital signal processor for the 2nd generation thermal imaging system using $480\times6$ infrared focal plane array In order to correct non-uniformities of detector arrays, we have developed the 2-point correction method using the thermo electric cooler. Additionally, to enhance the image of low contrast and improve the detection capability, we developed the new technique of histogram processing being suitable for the characteristics of contrast distribution of thermal imagery. Through these image processing techniques, we obtained a high qualify thermal image and acquired good result.

We investigated a novel fast non-uniform illumination correction method for bi-level images. The proposed method divides a bi-level image into sub-images and roughly estimates block-wise illumination by low pass filtered maximum values of sub-images. After that, we apply bilinear interpolation using the block-wise illumination to estimate non-uniform illumination, and compensate for the effect of non-uniform illumination using the estimated illumination. Since the proposed method is not based on computation intensive iterative optimization, the proposed method can be used effectively for applications that require fast correction of non-uniform illumination. In simulations, the proposed method showed more than 20 times faster speed than existing entropy minimization method. Moreover, in simulations and experiments, the restored images by the proposed method were more close to true images than images restored by conventional method.

This paper describes the design principles and methods of electronic processor for thermal imager with 320$\times$240 staring array infrared detector. For the detector's nonuniformity correction and excellent image quality, we have designed the multi-point correction method using the defocusing technique of the optics. And to enhance the image of low contrast and improve the detection capability, the new technique of histogram processing has been designed. Through these image processing techniques, we have developed the high quality thermal imager and acquired a satisfactory thermal image. The result of MRTD(Minimum Resolvable Temperature Difference) is $0.1^{\circ}C$ at 4cycles/mard.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of tissue inhomogeneity corrections on the dose delivered to prostate cancer patients treated with Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). Methods and Materials: For five prostate cancer patients, IMRT treatment plans were generated using 6 MV or 10 MV X-rays. In each plan, seven equally spaced ports of photon beams were directed to the isocenter, neglecting the tissue heterogeneity in the body. The dose at the isocenter, mean dose, maximum dose, minimum dose and volume that received more than 95% of the isocenter dose in the planning target volume ( $V_{p>95%}$) were measured. The maximum doses to the rectum and the bladder, and the volumes that received more than 50, 75 and 90% of the prescribed dose were measured. Treatment plans were then recomputed using tissue inhomogeneity correction maintaining the intensity profiles and monitor units of each port. The prescription point dose and other dosimetric parameters were remeasured. Results: The inhomogeneity correction reduced the prescription point dose by an average 4.9 and 4.0% with 6 and 10 MV X-rays, respectively. The average reductions of the $V_{p>95%}$ were 0.8 and 0.9% with the 6 and 10 MV X-rays, respectively. The mean doses in the PTV were reduced by an average of 4.2 and 3.4% with the 6 and 10 MV X-rays, respectively. The irradiated volume parameters in the rectum and bladder were less decreased; less than 2.1 % (1.2%) of the reduction in the rectum (bladder). The average reductions in the mean dose were 1.0 and 0.5% in the rectum and bladder, respectively. Conclusions: Neglect of tissue inhomogeneity in the IMRT treatment of prostate cancer gives rise to a notable overestimation of the dose delivered to the target, whereas the impact of tissue inhomogeneity correction to the surrounding critical organs is less significant.

Ambient-light sensor system, which changes the brightness of a display as ambient light change, was studied to reduce the power consumption of the mobile applications such as note PC, tablet PC and smart phone. The ambient-light sensor system should be integrated on a display panel to improve the complexity and cost of mobile applications, so the ambient-light sensor and readout circuit was integrated on a display panel using low-temperature poly-silicon thin film transistors (LTPS-TFT). We proposed the new compensation method to correct the panel-to-panel variation of the ambient-light sensors, without additional equipment. We designed and investigated the new readout circuit with the proposed compensation method and the analog-to-digital converter for the final digital output of ambient light. The readout circuit has very simple structure and control timing to be integrated with LTPS-TFT, and the input luminance ranges from 10 to 10,000 lux. The readout rate is 100 Hz, and maximum differential non-uniformity with 20 levels of the final output below 0.5 LSB.

To correctly detect muras, visual defects in TFT-LCD panels, image distortion occurring on the profess of capturing panels should be corrected. In general vision systems, there are several known methods to restore the observed image. However, the vignetting effect particularly shown only in panel images cannot be easily restored through traditional methods because it is combined with background non-uniformity due to the unique characteristic of panel. To increase the reliability of image restoration, the vignetting effect should be properly corrected after being separated from image background. Therefore, in this paper we present a new method to analyze and correct the vignetting effect of panel images using principal component analysis. Experimental results for a total of 175 test images showed that the average contrast error of the muras in the distorted images was reduced from 37% to 11% and the mura misidentification rate was decreased from 14.8% to 2.2% by image restoration.

In this paper, we propose a design method of automatic thickness measurement and defect inspection system, which measures the thickness of the autoclaved lightweight concrete block and inspects the defect on a real-time basis. The image processing system was established with a CCD camera, an image grabber, and a personal computer without using assembled measurement equipment. For the realization of proposed algorithm, the preprocessing method that can be applied to overcome uneven lighting environment, threshold decision method, unit length decision method in uneven condition with rocking objects, and the curvature calibration method of camera using a constructed grid are developed. From the experimental results, we have found that the required measurement accuracy specification is sufficiently satisfied using our proposed method.
