This paper proposes a new test data compression/decompression method for SoC(Systems-on-a-Chip). The method is based on analyzing the factors that influence test parameters: compression ratio and hardware overhead. To improve compression ratio, the proposed method is based on Modified Statistical Coding (MSC) and Input Reduction (IR) scheme, as well as a novel mapping and reordering algorithm proposed in a preprocessing step. Unlike previous approaches using the CSR architecture, the proposed method is to compress original test data and decompress the compressed test data without the CSR architecture. Therefore, the proposed method leads to better compression ratio with lower hardware overhead than previous works. An experimental comparison on ISCAS '89 benchmark circuits validates the proposed method.

Steel corrosion in concrete is a main cause of deterioration and early failure of concrete structures. A novel integration of electromagnetic heat induction and infrared (IR) thermography is proposed for nondestructive detection of steel corrosion in concrete, by taking advantage of the difference in thermal characteristics of corroded and non-corroded steel. This paper focuses on experimental investigation of the concept. An inductive heater is developed to remotely heat the embedded steel from concrete surface, which is integrated with an IR camera. Concrete samples with different cover depths are prepared. Each sample is embedded with a single rebar in the middle, resulting an identical cover depth from the front and the back surfaces, which enable heat induction from one surface and IR imaging from the other simultaneously. The impressed current (IC) method is adopted to induce accelerated corrosion on the rebar. IR video images are recorded during the entire heating and cooling periods. The test results demonstrate a clear difference in thermal characteristics between corroded and non-corroded samples. The corroded sample shows higher rates of heating and cooling than those of the non-corroded sample. This study demonstrates a potential for nondestructive detection of rebar corrosion in concrete.

다중 센서의 영상, 예를 들어 가시광 영상과 적외선 영상은 서로 다른 특징을 가지고 있기 때문에 본 논문에서는 IR 영상의 특징을 보존한 새로운 혼합기법을 제안하다. 이러한 혼합기법은 의료 영상, 보안 영상 등에서 매우 중요하고 다양하게 다루어진다. 일반적인 혼합기법을 사용하게 되면 영상간의 특색 때문에 혼합 시 조화롭지 못하는 문제점을 가진다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 중요도 맵을 추출하고 그 영역에 대하여 포아송 블랜딩을 통해 두 개의 다른 특징을 가시광 영상을 혼합한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 기존의 연구와 다르게 혼합할 영역을 수동으로 지정하는 것이 아니라 자동적으로 추출하고, 가시광 영상에 IR 영상에서만 검출되는 영역을 결합한 새로운 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

인터넷의 활용이 보편화 됨에 따라 정보의 양은 급격히 늘어나고 있다. 이에 취업을 희망하는 구직자의 경우 IR 로부터 원하는 정보를 검색하기 위해 과거보다 더 많은 시간과 노력이 필요하게 되었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 TF(Term Frequency)기법을 통해 문서를 추출하고 추출된 문서의 Doc_ID 빈도수를 기준으로 한 내용기반과 군집기법을 혼합한 하이브리드 검색 시스템을 제안한다. 구직자들이 클릭한 취업정보들의 링크번호들을 K-means 알고리즘을 이용하여 군집화를 한다. 생성된 군집들은 각기 하나의 문서로 가정하고, 기존 문서과 더불어 검색 주제와 연관성을 갖고 있는 문서들을 동적비율로 검색 랭킹 하는 방식이다. 기존의 IR 기술과의 비교 실험을 통해 성능을 평가하였다. 실험결과 본 논문에서 제안한 방법이 기존의 방법보다 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다

The stealth performance of supersonic aircraft in recent air battlefield is one of the most significant feature for latest fighters. Especially, as the technology is advancing, the IR stealth capability becomes more important because of its passive characteristic. To design an aircraft with stealth capability, we must know how much the IR signature is generated from the aircraft. Also, predicting the IR signature of enemy's aircraft is tactically crucial. In this study, we calculated MWIR and LWIR infrared signature of $5^{th}$ generation supersonic aircraft against air-to-air and surface-to-air threat using IR simulation code and CFD coupled procedure.

In this paper, we propose interleaved super-orthogonal convolutional coded ultra wide-band impulse radio(ISOC-UWB-IR) system, and analyze its performance. The proposed system uses interleaver and deinterleaver to decorrelate the temporal correlation of the fading process and to obtain the diversity gain. We also suggest the three types of interleavers, which are pulse-wise interleaver(PI), pulse sub-group-wise interleaver(PSGI), and pulse group-wise interleaver(PGI). Performance analysis result shows that the interleaving scheme, rather than the code rate of super orthogonal convolutional code(SOC) encoder, affects the performance for the Rayleigh fading channel.

This paper proposes a new robust motion deblurring filter using the inertial sensor measurements for strapdown image IR applications. With taking the PSF measurement error into account, the motion blurred image is modeled by the linear uncertain state space equation with the noise corrupted measurement matrix and the stochastic parameter uncertainty. This motivates us to solve the motion deblurring problem based on the recently developed robust least squares estimation theory. In order to suppress the ringing effect on the deblurred image, the robust least squares estimator is slightly modified by adoping the ridge-regression concept. Through the computer simulations using the actual IR scenes, it is demonstrated that the proposed algorithm shows superior and reliable motion deblurring performance even in the presence of time-varying motion artifact.

A new automatic small target detection and tracking algorithm for the real-time IR surveillance system is presented. The automatic target detection and tracking algorithm of the real-time systems, requires low complexity and robust tracking performance in the cluttered environment. Linear-array and parallel-scan IR systems usually suffer from severe scan noise caused by the detector non-uniformity. After the spatial filtering and thresholding, this scan noise still remains as high amplitude clutter which degrades the target detection rate and tracking performance. In this paper, we propose a new feature which consists of area and validity information of a measurement. By adopting this feature to the measurements selection and track confirmation, we can increase the target detection rate and reduce both the track loss rate and false track rate. From the experimental results, we can validate the feasibility of the proposed method in the noisy IR images.

In this paper, we suggest the tracking method of moving multi-objects in maritime environments. The image acquisition is conducted using IR(InfraRed) camera sensors on an airborne platform. Under the circumstance of maritime, the qualities of IR images can be significantly degraded due to the clutter influence, which directly gives rise to a tracking loss problem. In order to reduce the effects from the clutters, we introduce a technical approach under Man-In-The-Loop(MITL) system for enhancing the tracking performance. To demonstrate the robustness of the proposed approach based on VTG(Valid Tracking Gate), the simulations are conducted utilizing the airborne IR video sequences: Then, the tracking performances are compared with the existing Kalman Filter tracking techniques.

These days, Uncooled IR Systems are more popular in the area of defense and aerospace than before. Uncooled IR Systems are widely used as core technology for making unmanned systems and detecting enemy objects during the day and night in the distance. Recently, researches on TEC-less IRFPA have been increased to minimize the power consumption and to make a smaller system than before. For this, it needs to find adequate NUC(Non-Uniformity Correction) coefficients as FPA(Focal Plane Array) temperature changes. In this paper, we propose a new NUC coefficient estimating technique, DCCE-LI(Dynamic Calibration Coefficients Estimation with Linear Interpolation), for TEC-less IRFPA. It is based on a linear interpolation method and it can estimate NUC coefficients in real-time. So, by testing and evaluating it with some IR images, we conclude that the quality of IR images using proposed method is better than applying static coefficients.
