Camera calibration is an indispensable process for improving measurement accuracy in industry fields such as machine vision. However, existing calibration cannot be applied to the calibration of mid-wave and long-wave infrared cameras. Recently, with the growing use of infrared thermal cameras that can measure defects from thermal properties, development of an applicable calibration target has become necessary. Thus, based on heat conduction analysis using finite element analysis, we developed a calibration target that can be used with both existing visible cameras and infrared thermal cameras, by implementing optimal design conditions, with consideration of factors such as thermal conductivity and emissivity, colors and materials. We performed comparative experiments on calibration target images from infrared thermal cameras and visible cameras. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed calibration target.

In this paper, imaging processing study obtained from CCD image and thermography image was performed in order to treat easily thermographic data without any risks of personnels who conduct the condition monitoring for the abnormal or failure status occurrable in industrial power plants. This imaging processing is also applicable to the predictive maintenance. For confirming the broad monitoring, a methodology producting single image from the panorama technique was developed no matter how many cameras are employed, including fusion method for discrete configuration for the target. As results, image fusion from quick realtime processing was obtained and it was possible to save time to track the location monitoring in matching the images between CCTV and thermography.

열화상 시스템은 물체로부터 발산되는 적외선을 영상화하여 물체를 탐지하는 장점으로 인해 군사 분야는 물론 현재 민수 분야(자동차, Security 시스템)에 활용분야가 넓어지고 있다. 기존에는 대부분 FPGA 기반으로 열화상 열상 모듈을 개발하였지만 민수 분야에 다양한 요구사항 및 범용성에 유연한 대처가 힘든 실정이다. 따라서 다양한 요구사항과 범용성을 만족하기 위한 시스템의 필요성이 대두되었다. 본 논문에서는 상용 이미지 프로세서를 이용한 열화상 영상 처리 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 기존 FPGA 기반 시스템이 아닌 상용 이미지 프로세서를 사용함으로써 범용 영상 입·출력 인터페이스 및 각종 디바이스를 지원함에 따라 다양한 요구사항과 범용성을 만족한다. 따라서 시스템이 구축이 되면 뛰어난 접근성으로 인하여 시스템 추가/변경 시 기존의 시스템에 비해 개발 비용 및 기간을 단축할 수 있으며 그로 인하여 다양한 고객 요구사항 만족, 개발 비용 및 시간 단축, 제품 출시일 등 다양한 이점을 얻을 것으로 예상한다.

This paper discusses a study on developing an artificial intelligence model to detect incidents of fires in distribution switchboard using thermal images. The objective of the research is to preprocess collected thermal images into suitable data for object detection models and design a model capable of determining the occurrence of fires within distribution panels. The study utilizes thermal image data from AI-HUB's industrial complex for training. Two CNN-based deep learning object detection algorithms, namely Faster R-CNN and RetinaNet, are employed to construct models. The paper compares and analyzes these two models, ultimately proposing the optimal model for the task.

본 논문에서는 계층구조 합성곱 신경망 기반의 고해상도 동영상 프레임 고속 보간 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 고해상도 동영상 프레임 보간 방법은 시간 해상도와 공간 해상도를 분리하여 보간 하기 때문에, 예측된 보간 프레임이 블러(blur) 열화를 갖는 문제를 보인다. 제안하는 방법에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 계층구조 합성곱 신경망 기반의 보간 방법을 이용한다. 제안하는 계층구조 합성곱 신경망은 우선 저해상도의 광학 흐름 추정지도를 생성하고 이를 고해상도로 복원하여 프레임 보간을 수행한다. 이때, 저해상도 광학 흐름 지도를 추정할 때 사용된 특징 정보들을 활용하여 고품질의 고해상도 광학 흐름 지도를 추정한다. 실험을 통하여 제안하는 방법이 고해상도 프레임을 고속으로 보간하며, 동시에 블러 열화에 대한 성능 향상을 가짐을 보였다.

With the introduction of video cameras into law enforcement, a great deal of police organizations have adopted the technology in their routine crime prevention activities. The up-to-date systems of ambient surveillance energized by CCTV, police wearable cameras, drones, and thermal imaging devices enable the police to thoroughly monitor public spaces as well as to rigorously arrest on-scene criminals. These efforts to improve the level of surveillance are often met with public resistance raising concerns over citizens' rights to privacy. Recent studies on the use of police video equipment have constantly raised the issues related to the lack of applicable legal provisions, risk of personal information and privacy infringement as well as security vulnerabilities. In this regard, the present study attempted to review the public surveillance methods currently used by law enforcement agencies worldwide within the context of public safety and individual rights to privacy. Furthermore, the present study also discussed the legal boundaries of police use of video equipment to address public concerns over privacy issues.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive MAP (Maximum A Posteriori) high-resolution image reconstruction algorithm using local statistics. In order to preserve the edge information of an original high-resolution image, a visibility function defined by local statistics of the low-resolution image is incorporated into MAP estimation process, so that the local smoothness is adaptively controlled. The weighted non-quadratic convex functional is defined to obtain the optimal solution that is as close as possible to the original high-resolution image. An iterative algorithm is utilized for obtaining the solution, and the smoothing parameter is updated at each iteration step from the partially reconstructed high-resolution image is required. Experimental results demonstrate the capability of the proposed algorithm.

This work is devoted to the technique application of lock-in infrared Thermography in the shipbuilding and ocean engineering industry. For this purpose, an exploratory study to find the optimized test conditions is carried out by the design of experiments. It has been confirmed to be useful method that the phase contrast images were quantified by a reference image and weighted by defect hole size. Illuminated optical intensity of lower or medium strength give a good result for getting a phase contrast image. In order to get a good phase contrast image, lock-in frequency factors should be high in proportion to the illuminated optical intensity. The integration time of infrared camera should have been inversely proportional to the optical intensity. The other hand, the difference of specimen materials gave a slightly biased results not being discriminative reasoning.
