Recently infrared cameras have been widely used to diagnosis degradation status of the power substitution system. At the place of high magnetic field, however, electronic parts of infrared camera take a place problem that is not reasonable working due to high magnetic field. In this paper, technique of design for reflector is proposed to perform degradation diagnosis without damage of infrared camera in a power substation system including the rectifier that is able to impact to the infrared camera by high magnetic field.

In this paper, the concept of infrared thermography(IRT), the principle of measurement of IRT and how to set up the IR camera for the nondestructive testing are described in detail. Also, its utilization and non-destructive testing(NDT) diagnosis are reviewed. By performing the periodic non-touched WDT through the estimation of thermal patterns related with the temperature for the surface targeted, IRT can be applied to the early prevention of the device failure. For the diagnosis utilization, thermal imaging patterns obtained from IRT for heated blocks with internal defects were estimated through the lion-destructive method and discussed the way of IRT estimation from the analysis of characteristics between material defects and thermal imaging patterns.

본 논문은 기존에 사람의 인력이나 열화상 카메라에 의존하고 있는 배전선 기자재 점검을 사람대신 로봇이 점검 작업을 하고 기존의 열화상 카메라만 사용하는 점검 방법에 CCD 카메라를 추가로 사용하여 열화상 이미지와 실영상을 같이 획득하도록 하여 배전선 점검 작업의 안전성 확보와 고장진단의 결과 값들의 객관성 있고 정확한 데이터를 획득을 할 수 있도록 하였다. 그리고 로봇이 가공지선을 자율주행하면서 발생하는 포스트 간 이동, 가공지선 회피, 가공지선 다 분기와 같은 문제가 발생하게 되는데 이러한 문제점들은 센서 융합 방법을 사용하여 로봇이 가공지선을 원활하게 자율주행을 할 수 있도록 하였다. 그리고 배전선 기자재들의 자연적 현상 때문에 발생하는 기자재의 부식과 열화로 변하게 되는 기자재들의 온도를 열화상 카메라로 분석하여 배전선 기자재들의 불량 기준 온도를 초과하게 되면 열화상 이미지와 CCD 카메라의 실영상 이미지가 자동으로 캡쳐 되고 저장 될 수 있게 하였다. 이러한 모든 동작들은 로봇이 자율주행을 하면서 이루어진다.

객체 추적 기술은 컴퓨터 비전 분야에서 활발하게 연구되고 있는 분야로, 인간-컴퓨터 상호작용(HCI)이나 로보틱스, 그리고 자율주행 자동차와 같은 곳에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 그중에서도 열화상 객체 추적 기술은 빛이 전혀 없는 어두운 밤에도 적용 가능하기 때문에, 감시 시스템이나 사고 현장의 구조 상황, 또는 군사적 응용에 더욱 유용하다. 그러나 일반적으로 열화상 영상은 컬러 영상보다 해상도가 낮고, 객체의 경계가 흐릿하며, 텍스쳐가 거의 없다는 점 때문에 기존 추적 방법들의 성능 저하의 원인이 된다. 이에 본 논문은 기존 Correlation Filter 기반 추적기에 객체성 특징을 함께 이용하여, 열화상 영상에서의 객체 추적 성능을 향상 시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 실험을 통해 기존 방법보다 열화상 영상에서의 객체 추적 성능이 향상된 것을 보였다.

Recently interests on the application of thermal cameras have increased with the advance of image analysis technology. Aside from a simple image acquisition, applications such as digital twin and thermal image management systems have gained popularity. To this end, we studied the effect of emissivity on the DN (Digital Number) value in the process of derivation of a relational expression for converting DN to an actual surface temperature. The DN value is a number representing the spectral band value of the thermal image, and is an important element constituting the thermal image data. However, the DN value is not a temperature value indicating the actual surface temperature, but a brightness value indicating high and low heat as brightness, and has a non-linear relationship with the actual surface temperature. The reliable relationship between DN and the actual surface temperature is critical for a thermal image processing. We tested the relationship between the actual surface temperature and the DN value of the thermal image, and then the radiation adjustment was performed to better estimate actual surface temperatures. As a result, the relation graph between the actual surface temperature and the DN value similarly show linear pattern with the relation graph between the radiation-controlled non-contact thermometer and the DN value. And the non-contact temperature after adjusting the emissivity was closer to the actual surface temperature than before adjusting the emissivity.

The emissivity is different because the emitted angle changes according to the position of the infrared thermography camera and object. Because of this, the temperature distribution expressed when measuring the temperature by using the infrared thermography system is not the accuracy temperature. Although the real surface temperature is constant, the temperature measured by using infrared thermography camera have error in accordance with the value of emissivity. In this paper, the temperatures of the round cylindrical object and the flat square object that heated to the equal temperature were measured by infrared thermography camera. The emissivity calibration formula and correction table are made with the affect of the view angle and emission angle form the surface temperature value. The error of measured temperature values are corrected by using the emissivity calibration formula and correction table, and apply to defect detection of the nuclear power plant pipe. From the calibration method, reliability surface temperature values were obtained.

Fault detection for dynamic loading conditions of rotational machineries was considered from the contactless, non-destructive infrared thermographic method, rather than the traditional diagnosis method. In this paper, by applying a rotating deep-grooved ball bearing, passive thermographic experiment was performed as an alternative way proceeding the traditional fault monitoring. In addition, the thermographic experiments were compared with the vibration spectrum analysis to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed method. Based on the results, it was concluded the temperature characteristics of the ball bearing under dynamic loading conditions were analyzed thoroughly.
