물질을 구성하는 분자가 빛을 흡수하면 그 빛의 파장에 따른 복사에너지에 의하여 열적 반응이나 광화학적 반응이 일어난다. 특히 적외선 복사에 의한 열적 반응은 물질의 온도상승이나 온도하강 등의 과정을 통하여 물질의 물리적 손상을 초래한다. 따라서 적외선을 포함하는 복사에너지의 조사에 의하여 전시실, 진열장내의 전시물의 온도 변화를 측정하여 그 온도의 변화 범위보다 적은 온도 변화가 전시물에서 일어나도록 조명을 제한하고 알맞은 광원을 선정하여야 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 광원에 의한 시료의 온도상승과 적외선 복사량을 측정할 수 있는 측정시스템을 구축하고, 전시조명용으로 많이 사용하는 여러 광원을 대상으로 각 광원의 방사조도를 변화시키면서 시료의 표면온도와 적외선 복사량을 각각 측정하였다. 측정의 결과를 토대로 방사조도와 온도 및 적외선 복사량간의 함수관계를 파악하고, 조도의 변동에 따른 시료의 온도 변화 및 적외선 복사량의 변화를 비교, 분석하였다.

This paper is a part of developing a software that predicts the infrared signal emitted from a ground object by considering solar irradiation. The radiance emitted from a surface can be calculated by using the temperature and optical characteristics of the surface object. The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) is defined as the ratio of reflected radiance to incident irradiance. It is a very important surface reflection property that decides the reflected radiance from the object. In this paper, the spectral radiance received by a remote sensor over the mid-wave infrared(MWIR), and the long-wave infrared(LWIR) regions are computed and compared each other for several different materials. The results show that the optical surface properties such as the BRDF and the emissivity of the object surface can play a major role in generating the infrared signatures of various objects, and the largest infrared signal may reach up to 10 times the smallest one when the infrared signals obtained from a flat plate with different surface conditions under the sun light.

To effectively utilize a flash and predict its effects on an infrared device, it is essential to know the infrared characteristics of the flash source. In this paper, a study of the IR characteristics of flash light sources is carried out. The IR characteristics of three flash sources, of which two are combustive and the other is explosive, are measured with an IR characteristic measurement system over the middle- and long-wavelength infrared ranges. From the measurements, the radiances over the two IR ranges and the radiative temperatures of the flashes are extracted. The IR radiance of flash A is found to be the strongest among the three, followed by those of sources C and B. It is also shown that the IR radiance of flash A is about 10 times stronger than that of flash B, even though these two sources are the same type of flash with the same powder. This means that the IR radiance intensity of a combustive flash source depends only on the amount of powder, not on the characteristics of the powder. From the measured radiance over MWIR and LWIR ranges for each flashes, the radiative temperatures of the flashes are extracted by fitting the measured data to blackbody radiance. The best-fit radiative temperatures (equivalent to black-body temperatures) of the three flash sources A, B, and C are 3300, 1120, and 1640 K respectively. From the radiance measurements and radiative temperatures of the three flash sources, it is shown that a combustive source radiates more IR energy than an explosive one; this mean, in turn, that the effects of a combustive flash on an IR device are more profound than those of an explosive flash source. The measured IR radiances and radiative temperatures of the flash sources in this study can be used to estimate the effects of flashes on various IR devices, and play a critical role for the modeling and simulation of the effects of a flash source on various IR devices.

Surface emissivity and its background values according to each sensor are mandatorily necessary for Mid-Wavelength Infrared (MWIR) remote sensing to retrieve surface temperature and temporal variation. This study presents the methods and results of Land Surface Emissivity (LSE) of the MWIR according to land cover over the Korean Peninsula. The MWIR emissivity was estimated by applying the Temperature Independent Spectral Indices (TISI) method to the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) band 4 Day/Night images ($3.74{\mu}m$ in center wavelength). The obtained values were classified according to land-cover types, and the obtained emissivity was then compared with those calculated from a standard Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) spectral library. The annual means of MWIR emissivity of Deciduous Broadleaf Forest (0.958) and Mixed Forest (0.935) are higher than those of Croplands (0.925) and Natural Vegetation Mosaics (0.935) by about 2-3%. The annual mean of Urban area is the lowest (0.914) with an annual variation of about 2% which is by larger than those (1%) of other land-covers. The TISI and VIIRS based emissivity is slightly lower than the ASTER spectral library by about 2-3% supposedly due to various reasons such as lack of land cover homogeneity. The results will be used to understand the MWIR emissivity properties of the Korean Peninsula and to examine the seasonal and other environmental changes using MWIR images.

적외선 파장 대역에서 관측되는 우주배경복사의 요동은 초기 우주가 재이온화되는 시기에 존재하였던 우주 최초의 별 또는 은하에서 기원한다고 믿어진다. 적외선우주배경복사 관측을 위해서는 배경의 잡음이 되는 별, 은하, 황도광등을 제거하고 희미한 배경을 검출해야 하므로 광시야, 고감도로 광학에서 근적외선까지 다파장으로 관측하는 기능이 필요하다. CIBER2는 이러한 적외선우주배경복사 관측을 위해 개발되고 있는 NASA 사운딩로켓 탑재용 적외선카메라 시스템이다. 2009년부터 2013년까지 4차례에 걸쳐 성공적으로 발사된 CIBER를 업그레이드한 관측기기로써 한국 KASI, 미국 Caltech, 일본 ISAS가 공동으로 개발하고 있다. CIBER2는 28.5cm의 주경에 광분배기를 사용하여 3대의 카메라가 장착되는 형상을 이루고 있으며 각 카메라에는 $2K{\times}2K$ H2RG 검출기 위에 2개의 밴드 필터를 부착하여 0.6 - 2.1 um의 파장 대역을 6개의 구간으로 나누어 관측한다. 각 밴드의 시야각은 $1.1{\times}2.2$도이다. CIBER2는 현재 최종 설계를 마치고 각 서브시스템 별 제작 단계에 있으며, 조립 및 시험을 거쳐 2015년에 미국 화이트샌드 미사일기지에서 발사될 예정이다.

The concept of detection and classification of objects based on infrared camera is widely applied to military applications. While the object detection technology using infrared images has long been researched and the latest one can detect the object in sub-pixel, the object classification technology still needs more research. In this paper, we present object classification method based on measured radiant intensity of objects such as target, artillery, and missile using infrared camera. The suggested classification method was verified by radiant intensity measuring experiment using black body. Also, possible measuring errors were compensated by modelling-based correction for accurate radiant intensity measure. After measuring radiation of object, the model of radiant intensity is standardized based on theoretical background. Based on this research, the standardized model can be applied to the object classification by comparing with the actual measured radiant intensity of target, artillery, and missile.

The design and implementation of a radiative temperature measurement system for a flash light are carried out. Since a massive amount of energy is emitted within a very short time, it is impossible to measure the temperature of a flash with a conventional method. It is also irrelevant to measure one with an optical noncontact method. In this paper, a radiative temperature measurement system using the ratio of spectral radiances over mid- and long-wavelength infrared (IR) is designed and implemented. The implemented system utilizes optical bandpass filters to divide the wavelengths within the mid- and long-wavelength IR ranges, and pyroelectric IR detectors to measure the incident optical power of each wavelength-divided channel. It is shown that the measured radiative temperature of a flash is in the range of 1393 to 1455 K. This temperature-measurement system can be utilized to obtain information about the spectral radiance of a flash as a light source, which is of crucial importance to approaching the modeling and simulation of the various effects of a flash.

Comparison calibration equipment for infrared-radiation thermometers below $0^{\circ}C$ has been established, using a TRT2 (transfer radiation thermometer 2, HEITRONICS) as a transfer standard and an ME30 (Model: ME30, HEITRONICS) as a variabletemperature blackbody. The TRT2 was calibrated using three fixed points (Ice ($0.01^{\circ}C$), In ($156.5985^{\circ}C$), and Sn ($231.928^{\circ}C$)) and the Planckian Sakuma-Hattori equation, and including the interpolation and extrapolation errors at $-50^{\circ}C$ in the uncertainty. The pneumatic lid is installed upon opening of the ME30 and is opened for only 30 seconds for measuring the radiation temperature, which prevents formation of ice in the ME30 and also reduces the calibration time to half. The farther away from the $0{\sim}232^{\circ}C$ region, the larger the uncertainty of the comparison calibration equipment becomes. The expanded uncertainty of the comparison calibration equipment was estimated as 0.26 K at $-20^{\circ}C$.
