A gimbal system in observation reconnaissance aircraft was fabricated by assembling many parts and bearings. This system consists of a camera module and a stabilization gimbal that supports the camera module. During the flight for recording images, the gimbal system experiences various accelerations with wide frequencies. Although base excitation of stabilization gimbal results in vibration of the camera module, the camera module must be able to capture the correct and clear image even while vibrating. Hence, it is important to know the natural frequencies and vibration modes of the gimbal system with the camera module. Considering bearings as spring elements, the vibration characteristic of the gimbal system was analyzed by finite element method. In addition, harmonic response analysis was performed to determine the correct transmissibility of acceleration for the camera module in the frequency range of 0-500 Hz.

This paper presents a method to capture the posture of the human lower-limbs on the 3D space by using a single camera and a planar mirror. The system estimates the pose of the camera facing the mirror by using four coplanar IR markers attached on the planar mirror. After that, the training space is set up based on the relationship between the mirror and the camera. When a patient steps on the weight board, the system obtains relative position between patients' feet. The markers are attached on the sides of both legs, so that some markers are invisible from the camera due to the self-occlusion. The reflections of the markers on the mirror can partially resolve the above problem with a single camera system. The 3D positions of the markers are estimated by using the geometric information of the camera on the training space. Finally the system estimates and visualizes the posture and motion of the both legs based on the 3D marker positions.

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.

People counting data is crucial for most business owners, since they can derive meaningful information about customers movement within their businesses. For example, owners of the supermarkets can increase or decrease the number of checkouts counters depending on number of occupants. Also, it has many applications in smart buildings, too. Where it can be used as a smart controller to control heating and cooling systems depending on a number of occupants in each room. There are advanced technologies like camera-based people counting system, which can give more accurate counting result. But they are expensive, hard to deploy and privacy invasive. In this paper, we propose a method and a hardware sensor for counting people passing through a passage or an entrance using IR Infrared sensors. Proposed sensor operates at low voltage, so low power consumption ensure long duration on batteries. Moreover, we propose a new method that distinguishes human body and other objects. Proposed method is inexpensive, easy to install and most importantly, it is real-time. The evaluation of our proposed method showed that when counting people passing one by one without overlapping, recall was 96% and when people carrying handbag like objects, the precision was 88%. Our proposed method outperforms IR Infrared based people counting systems in term of counting accuracy.

The spatio-temporal variation of Infra Red(IR) emission images were obtained from a real 3-dimensional discharge space of a surface discharge type, alternating current plasma display panel(AC PDP) cell with the Ne-Xe(4%) 400Torr gas mixture. IR emissions were observed in each period of the ADS(Address and Display Separation) driving scheme with ramp initializing waveform using an images intensified charge coupled device(ICCD) camera. The roles of each electrode were identified and it was compared with the results of the discharge simulation and of the wall charge distributions measured by the electro-optic technique.

The dark-field laser scattering system has been developed to inspect surface defects in infrared cut-off filters and then laser scattering characteristics against the defects are investigated. The qualitative analysis for the reliable and accurate detection performance is described through the correlation between incident angles of a laser and viewing ones of a camera. In this paper, reliable and important information with laser scattering is given for the surface defect inspection of IR filters. Its performance has been verified through various experiments.

Twin Auxiliary Electrodes were applied to the counter sustain electrode structure plasma display panels for the improvement of luminous efficiency. In advanced, we investigated the spatiotemporal behaviors of excited $Xe^{\ast\ast}(2p)$ atoms in that structure unit cell with various applied voltage conditions for the auxiliary electrodes. The near-IR emissions were observed by an ICCD camera combined with narrow band pass filter. As a partial result, the intensity of IR emissions and the response time were improved with the proposed twin auxiliary electrodes.

650nm 적외선 차단 필터를 Macleod 프로그램을 이용하여 설계하고, 이온보조증착(IAD) 장비를 이용하여 코팅한 후 투과도, 파장, 두께특성을 조사하였다. 차단필터의 증착물질은 $TiO_2$ (n=2.30) /$SiO_2$ (n=1.46) 을 사용하여 45층의 다층 박막으로 증착하였다. 코팅된 차단필터는 차단파장이 651 nm로써 평균 ${\pm}5$ nm 이내의 편차를 보였다. 420~630 nm 파장영역에서 평균 투과도는 89%이었으며, 투과도의 균일도는 약 2.12로써 매우 균일하였다. 투과도기 단파장 영역에서 감소된 것은 다층박막 증착 시 산소가 결핍된 것으로 판단된다.

The tensile failure behavior of polymer matrix composite materials was investigated with the aid of a nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technique. The materials, E-glass fiber reinforced epoxy matrix composites, which are applicable to carbody materials in railway vehicles to reduce weight, were used for this investigation. In order to explain stress-strain behavior of polymer matrix composite sample, the infrared thermography technique was employed. A high-speed infrared (IR) camera was used for in-situ monitoring of progressive damages of polymer matrix composite samples during tensile testing. In this investigation, the IR thermography technique was used to facilitate a better understanding of damage evolution, fracture mechanism, and failure mode of polymer matrix composite materials during monotonic loadings.

본 연구에서는 2성분계 gas(Ne+Xe)를 사용하여 기체압력(p), 진동수(f)에 따라 VUV(Vacuum Ultra Violet) spectrum 147, 173nm 파장과 IR(Infrared) spectrum 823nm, 828nm을 Vacuum Monochromator(Acton-VM 507)를 통해 측정하였다. 휘도(Luminance)와 전력(Power)측면에서 Ne+ Xe 최적의 가스 조성비를 찾기 위해서 Xe의 혼합비에 따른 IR영역인 823nm, 828nm을 측정결과, Xe 4%일 때 좋은 효율을 나타냈다. 기체압력이 200Torr에서는 Xe(3P1)에 기인하는 147nm가 주요한 파장이며, 기체압력이 400Torr, 600Torr일때는 Xe(3P2)에 기인하는 173nm 파장이 주요함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 공간 방전 이미지를 전압 pulse 인가후 ICCD Camera(V-Tek)의 Ready time, On Time을 조절하면서 50ns delay로 관측하였다. 향후 실험계획은 실제 상용화되고 있는 혼합가스 He+Ne+Xe의 조성비에 따른 자세한 실험을 할 것이다.
