Target detection by the infrared imager depends on the apparent temperature difference between the target and the background, so it is essential to predict apparent temperature variations for this purpose. In this study, thermal analysis program Including conduction, convection and radiation is developed and applied to a representative geometry adequate for examining the apparent temperature characteristics. The results show that the longwave emissivity in association with the background temperature affects the apparent temperature strongly but does not affect the physical temperature. It is revealed that the background temperature plays a role of tuning the apparent temperature. As the longwave emissivity decreases, the apparent temperature decreases when the target is hotter than the background, whereas it increases in the reversed situation. These findings imply that an effective surface treatment, such as painting of a less emissive material, may provide a less detection probability and contribute to preventing the target from being detected at night.

우리나라에서 사용되고 있는 원예시설 피복자재는 대부분 PE (polyethylene), EVA(ethylene vinylacetate)와 PVC (ployvinychloride) 등의 플라스틱 연질필름을 소재로 되어있다. 이러한 연질 피복자재는 광투과율, 내구성, 그리고 장파방사 측면에서 불리한 조건을 가지고 있다. 또한 연질필름의 기능성 가운데 분쟁의 소지가 많은 방적성을 현장에서 개선하기 위해서는 단순하면서도 경제적인 방법이 요구된다고 하겠다. (중략)
