This paper presents a new method of sampling the climatic data for infrared signature analysis. Historical hourly data from a stationary marine buoy of KMA(Korean Meteorological Administration) are used to select a small number of sample points (N=100) to adequately cover the range of statistics(PDF, CDF) displayed by the original data set (S=56,670). The method uses a coarse bin to subdivide the variable space ($3^5$=243 bins) to make sample points cover the original data range, and a single-point ranking system to select individual points so that uniform coverage (1/N = 0.01) is obtained for each variable. The principal component analysis is used to calculate a joint probability of the coupled climatic variables. The selected sample data show good agreement to the original data set in statistical distribution and they will be used for statistical analysis of infrared signature and susceptibility of naval ships.

This research aims to study the new paradigm of NDE measurement which allows the identification of defect locations and sizes of a certain structure by measuring its surface temperature after applying heat. STS which has a certain defect is applied by the heat of 70000W by a heater. Its difference of STS surface temperature is measured by using Infrared thermography. The estimated result of STS experiment and that of theoretical analysis of Flex-PDE are compared and analyzed to diagnose STS defect. Moreover, this study can save time and money and improve accuracy in contrast to the existing ultrasonic NDE experiment. In addition, the new paradigm of NDT/NDE by reverse-engineering will be valid if the data of thermal analysis and temperature distribution from the specifications of many materials is accumulated and verified.

Near band infrared imaging technique has adopted for imaging EL2 and shallow level distributions in undoped semi-insulating LEC GaAs. This technique, which relies on the mapping of near bandgap infrared transmission, is both rapid and non-destructive. Until now no quantitative analysis has been reported for near band edge region which gives the reverse contrast on EL2 absorption images. This paper presents the spectral, spatial and temperature dependence of photoquenching forward and inverse mechanism in the band edge domain for cells and walls and for direct and inverted contrast conditions during transitory regimes. The difference in the threshold for the EL2w and EL2b defects could be attributed to the contribution of a different electrical assistance due to a different species of impurities. Quantitative analysis results show an increased density of EL2w and a small reduction of EL2b in the region of the walls where there is a high density of dislocations.

The steady cooling characteristics of a cryochamber for infrared (IR) detector have been investigated analytically, considering radiation shields. The thermal modeling considers the conduction heat transfer through cold finger, the gaseous conduction due to out-gassing, and the radiation heat transfer. The cooling load of the cryochamber is obtained by using a fin equation. The results obtained indicate that the gaseous conduction plays an important role in determining the steady cooling load. The steady cooling load is increased as the gas pressure is increased. It is also found that the cooling load is substantially decreased with a radiation shield. The most thermal load of a cryochamber occurs through the cold finger.

A numerical study is performed to predict the effect of operating conditions on the thermal response of electronic assemblies during infrared reflow soldering. The multimode heat transfer within the reflow oven as well as within the electronic assembly is simulated, and the predictions illustrate the detailed thermal responses. Parametric study is performed to determine the thermal response of electronic assemblies to various conditions such as conveyor speed, exhaust velocity, and component emissivity. The predictions of the detailed electronic assembly thermal response can be used in selecting the oven operating conditions to ensure proper soldering and minimization of thermally-induced electronic assembly stresses.

Analysis has been carried out to investigate the temperature variation and the uniformity of the temperature distribution of the glass panel by infrared radiant heating. Halogen lamps are used to heat the panel and located near the top and bottom of the rectangular chamber. The thermal energy is transfered only by radiation and the radiation exchange occurs only on the solid surfaces and is considered by using the view factor. The results show that the uniformity of the temperature distribution of the panel is improved but the time for heating increases as the wall reflectivity is large. The temperature difference reaches a maximum in the early stage of the heating process and then decreases until it reaches the uniform steady-state value.

본 논문에서는 두 개의 오목 반사경으로 형성된 광 공동 구조의 비문산 적외선 (NDIR) 가스센서를 제작하였다. 증폭비는 18,000 배, 램프 off 시간은 3초로 일정하게 하고 펄스 modulation 시간을 200ms에서 600ms까지 변화시켰을 때. 300ms에서 가장 효율적인 출력신호를 확보할 수 있었다. 그리고 $5^{\circ}C$에서 $45^{\circ}C$까지 $10^{\circ}C$ 간격으로 온도를 변화시키면서 이산화탄소의 농도를 0ppm에서 2000ppm까지 증가시켰다. 이때, 약 400mV의 전압변화가 있었다. 온도가 상승함에 따라 0ppm에서의 출력전압은 감소하는 양상을 나타내었다. 또한 온도변화 대비 출력특성과의 상관성 해석을 통하여 온도 보상 방법을 고안하였으며, 본 연구에서 제작한 센서모듈의 응답시간은 약 30초였다.

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.

A measurement technique of interfacial velocity in air-water separated flow by particle tracking velocimetry using an infrared camera (IR-PTV) was developed. As infrared light with wavelength in the range of 3-5 um could hardly penetrate water, IR-PTV can selectively visualize only the tracer particles existing in depths less than 20 um underneath the air-water interface. To validate the measurement accuracy of the IR-PTV technique, a measurement of the interfacial velocity of the air-water separated flow using Styrofoam particles floating in water was conducted. The interfacial velocity values obtained with the two different measurement techniques showed good agreement with errors less than 5%. It was found from the experimental results obtained using the developed technique that with increasing air velocity, the interfacial velocity proportionally increases, likely because of the increased interfacial stress.

This paper describes the temperature compensation algorithm using thermopile detector for nondispersive infrared methane gas sensor. From the output voltage of thermistor that is attached onto the infrared detector, the ambient temperature was extracted. The effects of temperatures on the properties of sensor module (the characteristics of narrow bandpass filter, optical cavity and infrared lamp, and gas absorption coefficient times optical path length) have been introduced in order to implement the temperature compensation algorithm. Even though the measurement error of developed sensor module was in the range of $\pm$ 1,500 ppm, after programming the temperature compensation algorithm, the developed sensor module shows a high accuracy less than +180 ppm error within $20^{\circ}C$ temperature variation.
