The appearance inspection of various electronic products and parts was executed by the eyesight of human. The appearance inspection is applied to the most electronic component of LCD Panel, flexible PCB and remote control. If the appearance of electronic products of small and minute size is inspected by the eyesight of human, we can't expect the stable inspection result because inspection result is changed by condition of physical and spirit of the checker. Therefore currently machine vision systems are used to many appearance inspection fields instead of inspection by human. The many problems of inspection by the checker are not occurred in machine vision circumstance. However, the inspection by automatic machine vision system is mainly influenced by illumination of workplace. In this paper, we propose a histogram transform method for improving accuracy of machine visual inspection.

The concrete lining inspection by inspector after traffic control poses various problems such as congestion caused by traffic control and social loss costs resulting from it, and risks of traffic accidents and safety accidents for inspectors et al. To solve the problems, the concrete lining inspection has been carried out using automatic inspection equipment and image analysis that can be objectively and quantitatively investigated in overseas. In this study, to solve the problems of concrete lining inspection by inspector and to review improvement plan for inspection, inspection was carried out using automatic inspection equipment for ◯◯ tunnel that precision safety diagnosis has been conducted in 2019. Analysis was carried out for both inspection results. Automatic inspection equipment investigated defects in concrete lining such as cracks more accurately than precision safety diagnosis.

In vitro activities of 13 antibiotics were assessed against 85 Brucella abortus isolates from naturally infected cattle in the Republic of Korea during 1998-2006, using broth microdilution test. Tetracyclines showed the most excellent activity against B. abortus, displaying MIC values of 0.5 ${\mu}g/ml$ or below. In particular, minocycline showed the lowest $MIC_{50/90}$ values (0.125/0.125 ${\mu}g/ml$) in this study. Among four fluoroquinolones tested, ciprofloxacin ($MIC_{50/90}$, 0.5/1 ${\mu}g/ml$) and norfloxacin ($MIC_{50/90}$, 8/8 ${\mu}g/ml$) had the most and the least activities, respectively. Gentamicin ($MIC_{50/90}$, 1/1 ${\mu}g/ml$) was more effective than streptomycin, erythromycin, rifampin, and chloramphenicol ($MIC_{50/90}$, 2/2 ${\mu}g/ml$).

National major facilities have been rigorously investigated using regular safety inspections and precision safety diagnosis since the Special Law for Facilities Safety Management was made in 1995. However, the process of safety inspection and precision safety diagnosis could be doubted due to intervention of facility owner for safety level evaluation, competition to obtain low price order, and low technical skills of inspection companies. Although the management processes for evaluating the inspection companies were used for several years, the process should continue to improve in the safety inspection field. This study analyzed the recent evaluation system and the ratios of insufficient inspection. Estimation of national loss expenses to the insufficient safety inspection was investigated to recognize the necessity for the improvement of facility inspection process and evaluation system.

This study compares and analyses the existing safety inspection systems in Korea and Japan to establish and propose future safety inspection systems for multiple-unit dwellings in Korea. The results of the study are summarized below. First, the state of Korea's current safety inspection systems and policies for multiple-unit dwellings are compared with the systems and policies in Japan. Second, the differences between the safety inspection systems of the two nations are presented, and the issues in Korea are addressed. Third, methods to establish future safety inspection systems for multiple-unit dwellings based on the systems in Japan are proposed for application in Korea.

The visual inspection method that depends on human's eyes has some problem that a lot of variations happen in examination according to bodily, spiritual state of the checker. We automate remocon inspection process using CCD camera. Our developed inspection system can be used in any remocon production line without the user's big handling. Our inspection system was developed using PC, CCD Camera, Visual C++ for universal work place. The accuracy of proposed system was improved about 3.2[%] than the conventional pattern matching method and the processing time was decreased about 119[ms]. Also we showed that our inspection system is more robust to lighting circumstances.

We Propose a Path planning method to reduce the Inspection time of AOI (automatic optical inspection) machines in SMT (surface mount technology) in-line system. Inspection windows of board should be clustered to consider the FOV (field-of-view) of camera. The number of clusters is desirable to be minimized in order to reduce the overall inspection time. We newly propose a genetic algorithm to minimize the number of clusters for a given board. Comparative simulation results are presented to verify the usefulness of proposed algorithm.

The purpose of this study is to develop a practical image inspection system that could recognize it correctly, endowing flexibility to the productive field, although the same object for work will be changed in the size and rotated. In this experiment, it selected a fighter, rotating the direction from $30^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}$ simultaneously while changing the size from 1/4 to 1/16, as an object inspection without using another hardware for exclusive image processing. The invariant moments, Hu has suggested, was used as feature vector moment descriptor. As a result of the experiment, the image inspection system developed from this research was operated in real-time regardless of the chance of size and rotation for the object inspection, and it maintained the correspondent rates steadily above from 94% to 96%. Accordingly, it is considered as the flexibility can be considerably endowed to the factory automation when the image inspection system developed from this research is applied to the productive field.

Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV) is a plant pathogenic virus which has been reported to continuously occur in onion bulbs, allium field crops, seed crops, lisianthus, and irises. In South Korea, IYSV is a "controlled" virus that has not been reported, and inspection is performed when crops of the genus Iris are imported into South Korea. In this study, reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and nested PCR inspection methods, which can detect IYSV, from imported crops of the genus Iris at quarantine sites, were developed. In addition, a modified positive plasmid, which can be used as a positive control during inspection, was developed. This modified plasmid can facilitate a more accurate inspection by enabling the examination of a laboratory contamination in an inspection system. The inspection methods that were developed in this study are expected to contribute, through the prompt and accurate inspection of IYSV at quarantine sites to the plant quarantine in South Korea.

In recent years, the safety of customers and the demand for rights to be protected from the risk have become stronger than ever day by day, and the function concerning product liability(PL) and quality assurance(QA) has been emphasized. Basically these functions can be obtained by inspection and there is the single rectifying sampling inspection for attribute (KSA-3105) as an existing method. But we can not say this method is good enough because of limitations in the range of applications and the approximate design of inspection methods which can not meet the rapidity and accuracy of quality information transfer according to the maturity of information period. Therefore, in this paper, a new algorithm is developed which can design the accurate inspection method by using the linear cost function that has not been considered in the existing inspection methods. Also in addition to this, a optimal rectifying sampling inspection plan, contributing to minimize the total costs, can be developed by programming the algorithm developed in this study and it can be applied to any field having many processes almost limitlessly.
