This paper introduce a new touchless fingerprint sensor. Two mirrors are used to capture the side fingerprint images which cannot detectable using a single camera. We also propose the techniques which can solve the image contrast, nonuniform illumination, DOF(Depth of Field) problems. This new sensor leads to bringing new challenges in the field of fingerprint recognition.

This paper proposes an system to generate rolled-equivalent fingerprints by mosaicking sequential images captured by an toothless device. To capture rolled-equivalent fingerprints, previous works use multiple cameras. However, the method in this paper captures sequential fingerprint images with a single camera and mosaic the images by estimating the transform between images through optical flow.

In this study, we developed an automated non-contact thickness measurement machine that continuously and precisely measures the thickness and warp of a PCB product using a laser sensor. The system contains a measurement part to measure the thickness in real time automatically according to the set conditions with an alignment supply unit and unloading unit to separate OK and NG products. The measurement machine was utilized to evaluate the performance at each step to minimize measurement error. At the zero setting for the initial setup, the standard deviation of the 216 samples was determined to be $5.52{\mu}m$. A measurement error of 0.5mm and 1.0mm as a standard sample in the measurement accuracy assessment was found to be 2.48% and 2.28%, respectively. In the factory acceptance test, the standard deviation of 1.461mm PCB was measured as $28.99{\mu}m$, with a $C_{pk}$ of 1.2. The automatic thickness measurement machine developed in this study can contribute to productivity and quality improvement in the mass production process.

This paper studies on the noncontact displacement sensor system to detect the displacement of the cylinder rod. For an inexpensive and a simple process, magnetic scales are printed on the cylinder rod, and magnetized by the specially designed magnetizer that has an yoke through the alternation of N and S pole. Noncontact displacement sensor system consists of cylinder with magnetic scales, Hall sensor, linear guide, controller and display. The system can detect the displacement of moving cylinder with 5 cm/sec in the case of 1 mm magnetic scale. It shows a possibility of position detection of hydraulic cylinder and air cylinder.

Recently, the use of Robot increase little by little for the purpose of developing a welding quality and productivity in the arc welding part. It is more important to contact the seam for arc welding before moving a welding robot. There are two types of method to contact the seam namely contact and noncontact type largely In this paper, image processing sensor(a kind of non-contact sensor) is concerned to track the seam by using laser diode and CCD camera. A structured laser diode's light illuminated on the weld groove and the reflected shape is introduced by CCD camera. The image board captures this image and software analyzes this image. The robot is moved and welded exactly as acquired image X-Y data is changed with robot's X-Y value. Also, most of seam tracking are considered by changing the program simply in case of the different weld prove of plane surface.

In a shipbuilding process, thermal damage to the ship structure at the rear end results from an excessive heat input and conduction during welding process. To prevent such damage, appropriate control of the heat input, based on welding temperature measurement, is required. For temperature measurement, contact and non-contact methods are available; the thermography system is a popular non-contact temperature measurement. When the intensity of radiation from a high-temperature object is excessive, however, detecting the sensors of ordinary thermography systems leads to an inability in measuring the temperature due to saturation. Hence, this study suggests use of a neutral density filter that prevents an excessive amount of radiation from being accumulated in a thermography system, and thus makes it possible to quantitatively measure an object's temperature as high as $3000^{\circ}C$.

운전 중인 회전기기에서 고정자 권선의 절연 상태는 부분방전시험을 통해 검사, 평가할 수 있고 이를 통하여 사고예방을 위한 진단을 할 수 있다. 기존 센서인 SSC(Stator Slot Coupler)는 비접촉식으로 권선의 웨지 아래에 설치하므로 설치하기가 불편하고 Global VPI 방식으로 제작된 소형 회전기에는 사용할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 소형 회전기에 사용 가능한 저, 고주파용 부분방전 센서를 제안하였다. 웨지 위에 설치 가능한 SSC 형태의 마이크로스트립 센서 및 2선 평행 전송선로 센서는 고주파에 적합하고 저렴하며 소형 회전 기에 설치 가능하다. 센서의 성능을 검증하기 위해 3차원 해석 프로그램을 사용하여 좋은 전자파 검출 성능을 도출할 수 있었다. 또한 저주파용으로 제안된 U 타입 센서는 유도전류를 검출하는 센서로서 슬롯 외부에 설치되어야 하고 시간차분 수치해석을 이용해서 저주파에서 효과적으로 방전 펄스를 검출함을 확인할 수 있었다.

디스플레이 매체의 발전에 따라 TV나 컴퓨터 모니터 또는 TFT-LCD, PDP, EL 등의 평판 디스플레이장치들의 대형화, 고화질, 고정밀도가 요구되어지고 있다. 이러한 디스플레이 장치들은 영상표시를 위해 유리를 사용하고 있는데, 사용되는 유리의 형상과 두께는 디스플레이 장치들의 성능에 영향을 준다. 특히 장치가 대형화되면서 대형 평판 유리의 변형된 형상과 균일하지 않은 두께는 디스플레이 장치들의 고화질, 고정밀도를 막는 주요한 요인이 되고 있다. 이러한 이유로 디스플레이 장치용 평판 유리의 형상 및 두께를 측정하는 센서의 요구가 많아지고 있다. 그러나 아직 유리의 형상과 두께를 측정하는 센서 및 시스템은 고가이고. 측정 방법 또한 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 하나의 센서로 유리의 형상과 두께를 동시에 고속으로 측정이 가능한 저가의 비접촉식 광센서를 개발하기로 한다. 이 논문에서 개발된 광센서에는 CD-player에 사용되는 홀로그램 레이저를 사용함으로써 고정밀 형상측정, 저가의 광센서, 센서의 소형화를 이룰 수 있다.

This study develops a time-varying system-based noncontact fabric sensor that can measure cerebral blood-flow signals to explore the possibility of brain blood-signal detection and emotional evaluation. The textile sensor was implemented as a coil-type sensor by combining 30 silver threads of 40 deniers and then embroidering it with the computer machine. For the cerebral blood-flow measurement experiment, subjects were asked to attach a coil-type sensor to the carotid artery area, wear an electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode and a respiration (RSP) measurement belt. In addition, Doppler ultrasonography was performed using an ultrasonic diagnostic device to measure the speed of blood flow. The subject was asked to wear Meta Quest 2, measure the blood-flow change signal when viewing the manipulated image visual stimulus, and fill out an emotional-evaluation questionnaire. The measurement results show that the textile-sensor-measured signal also changes with a change in the blood-flow rate signal measured using the Doppler ultrasonography. These findings verify that the cerebral blood-flow signal can be measured using a coil-type textile sensor. In addition, the HRV extracted from ECG and PLL signals (textile sensor signals) are calculated and compared for emotional evaluation. The comparison results show that for the change in the ratio because of the activation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems due to visual stimulation, the values calculated using the textile sensor and ECG signals tend to be similar. In conclusion, a the proposed time-varying system-based coil-type textile sensor can be used to study changes in the cerebral blood flow and monitor emotions.
