반도체 제작 과정에서 증착이나 식각, 회로의 검사 등에서 생겨날 수 있는 미세한 흠집이나 불완전성을 검사하기 위해 광음향 현미경법을 응용하였다. 반도체 표면에서 발생되는 광음향 신호를 측정하여 흠집의 형태와 깊이를 결정함으로써 3차원 영상을 분석하여 그 구조를 밝혔다. 또한 광음향 현미경법을 이용하여 진성 GaAs 반도체의 운반자 운송성질(비방사 벌크재결합 및 비방사 표면재결합)과 열확산도 및 시료 깊이에 따른 3차원 영상을 분석하여 진성 GaAs 반도체 열확산도 측정 시, 빛이 조사되는 표면조건에 따라 광음향신호의 주파수 의존성이 달라짐을 관측하였다. 실험결과 표면상태가 거친 면에서 매끄러운 면으로 갈수록 높은 주파수 의존성을 나타내었다. Si 웨이퍼 위에 임의로 제작되어진 흠집을 만들고 이를 광음향 현미경법으로 측정한 결과 광음향 신호는 변조되는 주파수와 웨이퍼의 열적 특성에 따라 달라지며 이를 통하여 흠집의 형태와 위치 및 크기를 확인하였다. 광음향 현미경은 반도체 소자나 세라믹 물질에 대하여 비파괴 검사와 비파괴 평가에 관한 연구가 가능하며 반도체 공정 과정에서 생겨날 수 있는 시료의 깨짐이나 결함 등을 검사하는데 응용 가능한 분석법임이 증명되었다.

Nondestructive methods such as ultrasonic and magnetic resonance imaging systems have many advantages but still much expensive. And they do not give exact color information and may miss some details. If it is allowed to destruct a biological object to obtain interior and exterior informations, 3D image visualization model from a series of sliced sectional images gives more useful information with relatively low cost. In this paper, a PC based automatic 3D visualization system is presented. The system is composed of three modules. The first module is the handling and image acquisition module. The handling module feeds and slices a cylindrical shape paraffin, which holds a biological object inside the paraffin. And the paraffin is kept being solid by cooling while being handled. The image acquisition modulo captures the sectional image of the object merged into the paraffin consecutively. The second one is the system control and interface module, which controls actuators for feeding, slicing, and image capturing. And the last one is the image processing and visualization module, which processes a series of acquired sectional images and generates a 3D volumetric model. To verify the condition for the uniform slicing, normal directional forces of the cutting edge according to the various cutting angles were measured using a strain gauge and the amount of the sliced chips were weighed and analyzed. Once the 3D model was constructed on the computer, user could manipulate it with various transformation methods such as translation, rotation, and scaling including arbitrary sectional view.

전기 임피던스 단층촬영법은 주입 전류와 측정 전압을 기반으로 관심 도메인 내부의 도전율/저항률 분포를 복원하는 비파괴 영상 복원 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 역문제 계산시간을 줄이고 더불어 공간 해상도도 향상시키기 위해, 적응 문턱치 기반의 ROI(region of interest) 방법을 제안하였다. INTERMODES 방법에 의해 적응 문턱치가 계산이 되고 이 값을 기반으로 전체 도메인으로부터 ROI가 결정된다. 그리고 영상 복원의 계산 도메인을 ROI 내로 국한시켜 반복적 가우스-뉴턴 방법을 적용하여 저항률 분포를 추정하였다. 제안한 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 수치실험을 수행하고 그 결과를 비교분석하였다.

Ultrasonic and magnetic resonance imaging systems are used to visualize the interior states of biological objects. These nondestructive methods have many advantages but too much expensive. And they do not give exact color information and may miss some details. If it is allowed to destruct some biological objects to get the interior and exterior information, constructing 3D image from the series of the sliced sectional images gives more useful information with relatively low cost. In this paper, PC based automatic 3D model generator was developed. The system was composed of three modules. One is the object handling and image acquisition module, which feeds and slices objects sequentially and maintains the paraffin cool to be in solid state and captures the sectional image consecutively. The second is the system control and interface module, which controls actuators for feeding, slicing, and image capturing. And the last is the image processing and visualization module, which processes a series of acquired sectional images and generates 3D graphic model. The handling module was composed of the gripper, which grasps and feeds the object and the cutting device, which cuts the object by moving cutting edge forward and backward. Sliced sectional images were acquired and saved in the form of bitmap file. The 3D model was generated to obtain the volumetric information using these 2D sectional image files after being segmented from the background paraffin. Once 3-D model was constructed on the computer, user could manipulate it with various transformation methods such as translation, rotation, scaling including arbitrary sectional view.

Surface color is the most important quality factor for the grade evaluation of cherry tomato. Color is one of the representative indicators for the maturity which is closely related to the internal quality of cherry tomato, such as firmness, sugar content, and acidity. This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between surface color and internal quality of cherry tomatoes harvested from both hydroponic and soil culture at different ripening stages. To calculate the color values of cherry tomatoes an automatic color imaging system was constructed. A specially designed image processing algorithm for the color measurement was developed. The color values of L*, a*, b* were calculated from the initial color values of RGB and then compared with the internal quality. Statistical analyses indicated that the internal quality was more highly correlated with the surface color than size of cherry tomatoes. Color image features were also investigated to detect external damage of cherry tomatoes. The value of (R value - R mean value)/R mean value was the most effective image feature for the detection of damaged areas on the surface of cherry tomatoes. The results of this study demonstrated the feasibility of color sorting process as an alternative of the conventional drum type size sorting system for cherry tomato industry.

One of the consequences of the 475 ℃ embrittlement of duplex stainless steels is the reduction of the resistance to localized corrosion. Therefore, the detection of this type of embrittlement before the material exhibits significant loss in toughness, and corrosion resistance is important to ensure the structural integrity of critical components under corrosion threats. In this research, conductivity measurements are performed using the alternating current potential drop (ACPD) technique with using a portable four-point probe as a nondestructive evaluation (NDE) method for detecting the embrittlement in a 2507 (UNS S32750) super duplex stainless steel (SDSS) aged at 475 ℃ from as-received condition to 300 h. The electric conductivity results were compared against two electrochemical tests namely double loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (DL-EPR) and critical pitting temperature (CPT). Mechanical tests and the microstructure characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging are conducted to track the progress of embrittlement. It is shown that the electric conductivity correlates with the changes in impact energy, microhardness, and CPT corrosion tests result demonstrating the feasibility of the four-point probe as a possible field-deployable method for evaluating the 475 ℃ embrittlement of 2507 SDSS.

초분광영상을 이용하여 방울토마토의 전체 면에서 반사스펙트럼을 획득하였으며 숙도 등급(GN-RD)에 따른 스펙트럼의 차이를 관찰하였다. 방울토마토의 반사스펙트럼에서 클로로필에 의한 675 nm 영역의 흡수가 관찰되었고, 당과 수분의 영향으로 알려진 840 nm, 970 nm 영역에서 흡수가 관찰되었다. 특히 GN에서 RD 등급으로 숙도가 진행될수록 평균 스펙트럼의 경우 반사율이 낮아지는 경향이 관찰되었다. 총 8개의 전처리를 이용하여 전 숙도 등급의 시료에 적용한 PLS 회귀 분석에서 내부품질들 중 경도 예측모델이 가장 우수한 것으로 확인되었다. 이때 전처리는 평균값을 이용한 정규화이었으며 결정계수는 0.876, 그리고 SEP은 1.875kgf이었다. 당도의 경우는 최대값을 이용한 정규화에서 결정계수가 0.823과 SEP $0.388^{\circ}Bx$로 나타났으며, 산함량의 경우 최대값을 이용한 정규화에서 0.620의 결정계수와 0.208%의 SEP이 확인되었다. 상품성을 고려한 PK, LR, RD 등급의 시료에서 PLS 회귀 분석을 실시한 결과 내부품질 중 전체의 숙도 등급의 시료를 사용하여 예측한 결과보다는 전체적으로 다소 낮은 예측결과를 확인할 수 있었다. 내부 품질 중 경도에서 가장 높은 예측모델이 확인되었으며, 전처리는 일정 범위를 이용한 정규화이고 0.679의 결정계수와 $0.976^{\circ}Bx$의 SEP이 확인되었다. 당도는 최대값을 이용한 정규화에서 0.586의 결정계수와 0.546kgf의 SEP의 결과를 보였으며 산 함량은 Savitzky Golay의 2차 미분에서 0.547의 결정계수와 0.188%의 SEP을 보였다. 본 연구에서는 최근 연구 활용이 시작되고 있는 최신기술인 초분광 반사영상을 이용하여 방울토마토 내부품질인 경도, 당도, 산 함량 예측의 가능성을 확인하였다. 초분광 영상은 영상처리를 이용하여 외부의 결함 및 외부 착색도등도 측정할 수 있으므로 본 연구에서 수행한 내부품질 측정과 융합하여 복합적인 농산물 품질 선별기 개발에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근 빅데이터 과학은 사회현상 모델링을 통한 예측은 물론 강화학습과 결합하여 산업분야 자동제어까지 응용범위가 확대되고 있다. 이러한 추세 가운데 이미지 영상 데이터 활용연구는 화학, 제조, 농업, 바이오산업 등 다양한 산업분야에서 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문은 신경망 기술을 활용하여 영상 데이터의 시맨틱 분할 성능을 개선하고자, U-Net의 계산효율성을 개선한 DeepU-Net 신경망에 AutoML 강화학습 알고리즘을 구현한 NASNet을 결합하였다. BRATS2015 MRI 데이터을 활용해 성능 검증을 수행하였다. 학습을 수행한 결과 DeepU-Net은 U-Net 신경망 구조보다 계산속도 향상 뿐 아니라 예측 정확도도 동등 이상의 성능이 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 이미지 시맨틱 분할 성능을 개선하기 위해서는 일반적으로 적용하는 드롭아웃 층을 빼고, DeepU-Net에 강화학습을 통해 구한 커널과 필터 수를 신경망의 하이퍼 파라미터로 선정했을 때 DeepU-Net보다 학습정확도는 0.5%, 검증정확도는 0.3% 시맨틱 분할 성능을 개선할 수 있었다. 향후 본 논문에서 시도한 자동화된 신경망을 활용해 MRI 뇌 영상진단은 물론, 열화상 카메라를 통한 이상진단, 비파괴 검사 진단, 화학물질 누출감시, CCTV를 통한 산불감시 등 다양한 분야에 응용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: Platelet derived growth factor(PDGF)-BB and bone morphogenetic protein(BMP)-2 are well-known representative growth factors. The purposes of this study were to investigate the effect of rhPDGFBB and rhBMP-2 on osseointegration of titanium implants at periimplant bone defects grafted with hydroxyapatite and to evaluate the feasibility of imaging bone structures around screw-type titanium implant with micro-CT. Materials and Methods: The first molar and all premolars in the mandible region of four beagle dogs were extracted. Following a healing period of 4 months, three $8{\times}8{\times}6mm$-sized bony defects were formed and screw-type titanium implants were placed with hydroxyapatite(HA) block and growth factors; Control group, PDGF group and BMP group. Two months post-implantation, the mandible was harvested. Bone volume(BV), bone-to-implant contact(BIC) and bone mineral density(BMD) were analyzed with micro-CT and histology. Results: According to micro-CT analysis, BV and BMD measures of PDGF and BMP group were significantly higher than control group(BV; PDGF group: $p{\fallingdotseq}0.011$, BMP group: $p{\fallingdotseq}0.006$/BMD; PDGF group: $p{\fallingdotseq}0.020$, BMP group: $p{\fallingdotseq}0.011$) and BIC measures of BMP group were significantly higher than PDGF group($p{\fallingdotseq}0.015$). In histologic evaluation, BIC measures of BMP group was significantly higher than PDGF group($p{\fallingdotseq}0.048$). The values of BV in histologic sections were higher than in micro-CT images and the values of BIC in micro-CT images were higher than in histologic sections. Conclusion: The findings of this experimental study indicates that the use of rhPDGF-BB and rhBMP-2 can increase new bone formation in a large bony defect around titanium implant, and rhBMP-2 is more effective than rhPDGF-BB. Micro-CT can be considered useful for assessment as a rapid and nondestructive method for 3-dimensional measurement of bone healing around implants. Further study is necessary, however, to remove metal artifacts around titanium implant and to standardize the method.
