This paper is a part of developing a program that predicts the surface temperature and the IR images of ground objects by considering solar irradiation and atmospheric convection. The thermal modeling is essential for identifying objects on the scenes obtained from the remote sensing. And the temperature distribution on the objects is necessary to obtain their infrared images in contrast to the background. We considered the composite heat transfer modes including conduction, convection and spectral solar radiation incident on the objects within a scene to calculate the surface temperature distribution. The surface temperatures obtained by using the S/W developed in this study(Silhouette) and a commercial S/W(SE-Workbench-IR) are computed and compared each other. Results obtained by using the S/W developed in this study(Silhouette) show fairly good agreement with those obtained by the SE-Workbench-IR.

Stroke patients can't use their hands because of the paralysis of their fingers. Their fingers are recovered by rehabilitating training, and the rehabilitating extent can be judged by grasping a spherical object. At present, the object used in hospital is only a spherical object, and can't measure the force of fingers. Therefore, doctors judge the rehabilitating extent by touching and watching at their fingers. So, the spherical object measuring system which can measure the force of their fingers should be developed. In this paper, the finger-force measuring system with a three-axis force sensor which can measure the spherical-object grasping force is developed. The three-axis force sensor is designed and fabricated, and the force measuring device is designed and manufactured using DSP(digital signal processing). Also, the grasping force test of men is performed using the developed finger-force measuring system, it was confirmed that the average force of men was about 120 N.

Position controls are very important in semiconductor manufacturing devices, machine tools Precision measuring instruments, etc. To measure the distance of movement of moving objects in minute units and the accuracy of measurement for the moving distance in these devices affect the performance of the whole devices. Therefore, in those Precision instruments, a sensing device that can measure the distance of movement with high-precision resolution is required. In this paper, a novel encoder of digital and analog hybrid type is proposed. It is shown that from this experiment a high-resolution angle measurement device can be designed by a low cost incremental encoder.

Triboelectrostatic Separation procese is a technology that different particles charged after contact and rubbing different materials are separated in an electric field. At this time, charged polarity of different materials depends on their own work function. Therefore this study discovers work functions of various plastics and determines charging characteristics for the specific optimum operation condition. The experiment is conducted with two sample sets composed of various different plastics. Each sample is charged by contact and rubbing different materials. Surface charge of charged particles is measured by Faraday Cage. The specific work function of an each plastic is driven by measured charging amount and charged particles are separated in a certain electric field ($\pm$20 kV). At last, the relationship between charging amount and separation efficiency is induced by the separation experiment.

Enhancement methods of sensitivity to in-plane strain measurement by micro-ESPI(Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry) technique were proposed using TiN and Au thin films. Micro-tensile strain over the micro-tensile specimens, prepared in micro-scale by those films, was measured by micro-tensile loading system and micro-ESPI system developed in this study. The subsequent measurement of in-plane tensile strain in the micro-sized specimens was introduced using the micro-ESPI technique, and the micro-tensile stress-strain curves for these films were determined. To enhance the sensitivity to measurement of in-plane tensile strain, algorithms of the phase estimation by using curve fitting of inter-fringe and the discrete Fourier Transform with object-induced dynamic phase shifting were developed. Using these two algorithms, the micro-tensile strain-stress curves were generated. It is shown that the algorithms for enhancement of the sensitivity suggested in this study make the sensitivity to measurement of the in-plane tensile strain increase.

In this paper, we propose a new two-stage segmentation method for the effective object recognition which uses region-growing algorithm and k-means clustering method. At first, an image is segmented into many small regions via region growing algorithm. And then the segmented small regions are merged in several regions so that the regions of an object may be included in the same region using typical k-means clustering method. This paper also establishes similarity measurement which is useful for object recognition in an image. Similarity is measured by fuzzy system whose input variables are compactness, magnitude of biasness and orientation of biasness of the object image, which are geometrical features of the object. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed two-stage segmentation method and similarity measurement, experiments for object recognition were made and the results show that they are applicable to object recognition under normal circumstance as well as under abnormal circumstance of being.

This paper presents the method for location estimation with obstacle tracking method. A laser scanner is used to implement the system, and we assume that the map information is known. We matches the measurement of the laser scanner to estimate the location of the robot by using sequential monte carlo (SMC) method. After estimating the robot's location, the pose of obstacles are detected and tracked, hence, we can predict the collision risk of them. Finally, we present the experiment results to verify the proposed method.

스프링 조작기는 초고압 GIS, GCB 등의 개폐장치를 구동시키는 조작 장치로서 동작 중 부품에 큰 충격력 및 힘이 작용하여 파손되는 경우가 발생한다. 이에 개발 설계 단계에서 스프링 조작기의 구조적 건전성 확보를 위해 각 부품에 작용하는 힘을 예측하여 평가, 검증하는 해석 및 시험 기술이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 145kV GIS용 스프링 조작기를 ADAMS로 다물체 동역학 해석을 수행하여 추출한 부품의 조인트 반력을 이용하여 응력 해석을 수행하였다. 그리고 그 결과와 응력측정 시험 데이터와의 비교를 통해 해석의 신뢰성을 검증할 수 있었다. 여기서는 한 예로 커넥팅 로드에 대한 신뢰성 평가를 시행하였다.

최근 미디어 기술의 발달에 따라 문서 형태로 제공되던 기존의 서비스가 다양한 형태로 제공되고 있다. 그 중 요리의 경우, 사용자의 노하우가 부족하면 간접적인 도움으로는 한계가 있기 때문에 주방보조시스템을 구성하여 사용자에게 직접적인 도움을 제공하고자 하며 재료를 손질하거나 불을 사용할 때 시스템의 도움을 받을 수 있도록 했다. 우선 재료를 손질하는 경우 웹캠이나 핸드폰을 이용하여 요리 재료를 인식하고 사용자가 잘라야 할 요리 재료에 절취선을 제공하여 특별한 도구 없이도 시각적인 도움을 받을 수 있도록 구현했으며 요리 재료를 인식하고 절취선을 제공하기 위해 물체 인식, Object Segmentation 알고리즘을 사용하여 재료의 영역을 파악한 뒤 OpenCV 라이브러리를 통해 실시간으로 절취선을 생성한다. 불을 사용하는 경우 적외선 온도 센서가 지속적으로 요리의 온도를 측정하여 UI에 표시한다. 이러한 서비스를 요리의 진행상태와 연동하여 제공함으로써 요리에 필요한 정보를 한눈에 확인할 수 있고 차후 가전제품과 연동되면 다양한 레시피를 누구나 편리하게 사용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The depth camera measures range information of the scene in real time using Time-of-Flight (TOF) technology. Measured depth data is then regularized and provided as a depth image. This depth image is utilized with the stereo or multi-view image to generate high-resolution depth map of the scene. However, it is required to correct noise and distortion of TOF depth image due to the technical limitation of the TOF depth camera. The corrected depth image is combined with the color image in various methods, and then we obtain the high-resolution depth of the scene. In this paper, we introduce the principal and various techniques of sensor fusion for high-quality depth generation that uses multiple camera with depth cameras.
