The method for spraying of liquid through an electrical filed has become a printing method since it can make very small droplet. To increase the reliability using the electro-hydrodynamic (EHD) jet printing, the jetting status needs to be monitored. Vision measurement techniques using high speed camera has been used to visualize the jet images. However, it requires image processing of a lot of images after image acquisitions. So, it is difficult to understand jet behavior such as jetting frequency, jet repeatability etc. In this work, a low cost electrical current measurement method was developed to measure electrical current from EHD jet printing. To verify the jetting monitoring capability of developed circuit, images from high speed camera were processed for comparison purpose.

Initial flame development and propagation were visualized under the new ignition system developed to estimate the effects of ignition characteristics on the engine performance in a port injection SI engine. Effects of intake air flow characteristics were also investigated by three different kinds of the swirl control valve. Experiments were performed in an optical single cylinder engine modified form a commercial engine. Flame images were captured through the quartz window mounted in the piston by the high speed video camera and analyzed to compare initial flame development. Results show that IMEP tends to rise slightly as the ignition duration gets longer. The direction of flame propagation is decisively governed by the in-cylinder flow motion. Every flame grows toward the exhaust valve forming a kind of turbulent flame. Initial flame propaagation characteristics are very similar to ones analyzed form pressure data.

In this paper, the real shapes of micro tool deflection were observed. In micro endmilling process, micro tool deflection generates very serious problems in contrast to macro tool deflection. For analyzing the micro tool deflection, the trend of micro tool deflection was observed using real captured images in this paper. To get the real images of micro tool deflection, micro slot cutting processes were executed under cutting volume using micro endmill($Dia.\;200{\mu}m$) and real images of tool deflection were obtained during cutting processing by high-speed camera. Finally, the extent of tool deflection was calculated by the deflection angle according to cutting volume.

Bubble growth on microheater has been experimentally investigated in this study. The experiment was performed using platinum micro heaters having dimensions of $100{\times}10{\times}0.2{\mu}m^3$ with constant heat flux. A high speed video camera was used to observe bubble growth at 250 frames per second. Microheater temperature was measured at the rate of 300Hz with a data acquisition system. When heater temperature was $139^{\circ}C$ a bubble was nucleated in the liquid FC-72. The temperature profiles and the high speed camera images were combined to explain heat transfer and bubble growth on microheater.

Since recent production system becomes that of the small quantity, large volume with high quality production, accurate and high speed inspection system is required. In such situation, noncontact 3D measurement system which utilized CCD cameras is useful technique in terms of system cost, speed of data acquisition, measuring accuracy and application. However, it has low accuracy compared with contact 3D measurement system because of the camera distortion, non uniformity of laser distribution and so on. For those reasons, in this paper precision enhancement method is studied considering radial camera distortion, and laser distribution. A distortion correction method is applied even to the standard lens. The laser slit beam trajectory is determined by 3 method: based of the Gaussian function signal approximation, the median method, the center of gravity method and the peak point of the Gaussian function method.

Strip top mark is one of the major problem areas in hot strip coiling operation. The key for good coiling is having a precise detection instrument of strip head end and an understanding of QOC(quick open control) control algorithm and mechanism. Therefore, this study aims at developing QOC monitoring system that is useful for avoiding strip top mark at coiling process. In this study, strip movement between mandrel and unit roll(wrapper roll) was thoroughly studied using high speed camera. The monitoring system was developed to calculate QOC open time and to estimate optimal open time values for good coiling operation. Its performance has been proven by extensive field tests on downcoiler of #2 Hot Strip Mill Line in Pohang Works.

The color sorting technique utilizing the image processing method is very applicable tool to analyze motion of a free-falling object in many agricultural and industrial research fields. In the present study, we have developed an image processing system and algorithm to sort good quality rice grains effectively from the bad ones. The system employs a high speed rate line-scan CCD camera with 2K-pixels and worked with a high speed DSP and FPGA in-line. It can accumulate acquired line-scan image data and visualize each grain image clearly. As a result, we can easily calculate the number of pixels occupied by grain(=grain size), gray level and its correct position by visualizing grain images rapidly.

Bubble growth on microheater has been experimentally investigated in this study. The experiment was performed using platinum microheaters having dimensions of 300 ${\mu}m$ or 50 ${\mu}m$ in length, 20 ${\mu}m$ or 5 ${\mu}m$ in width, and $0.2{\pm}0.01$ ${\mu}m$ in thickness. A high speed video camera was used to observe bubble growth at 2,000 frames per second. Microheater temperature was measured at the rate of 300 Hz. with a data acquisition system. Bubble nucleation frequency increased with working fluid temperature. Although the slope of temperature drop was similar in all cases, the magnitude of temperature drop was different. The temperature profiles and the high speed camera images were combined to explain temperature drop.
