All CCD pixels do not react uniformly even if the light of same radiance enters into the camera. This comes from the different camera optical characteristics, the read-out characteristics, the pixel own characteristics and so on. Usually, the image data of satellite camera can be corrected by the various image-processing methods in the ground. However, sometimes, the in-orbit correction is needed to get the higher quality image. Especially high frequency pixel correction in the middle of in-orbit mission is needed because the in-orbit data compression with the high frequency loss is essential to transmit many data in real time due to the limited RF bandwidth. In this case, this high frequency correction can prevent have to have any unnecessary high frequency loss. This in-orbit correction can be done by the specific correction table, which consists of the gain and the offset correction value for each pixel. So, it is very important to get more accurate correction table for good correction results. This paper shows the new algorithm to get accurate pixel correction table. This algorithm shall be verified theoretically and also verified with the various simulation and the test results.

This paper proposes a new method about performance improvement of soccer robots system by the revision of lens distortion most commonly occurred in camera and the revision of position and angle error in robot patch for the realization of robot position. Among the lens distortions, we revise geometrical distortion and apply it to soccer robots system for realtime environment. Patch used in the recognition and the distinction for coordination and direction of robot occurs a position and angle error according to the figure of it. In this paper, we suggest the method of reduction for position and angle error of robot by improved patch and verify its propriety through the experiment.

The conceptual rainfall-runoff models are used to predict complex hydrological effects of a basin. However, to obtain reliable results, there are some difficulties and problems in choosing optimum model, calibrating, and verifying the chosen model suitable for hydrological characteristics of the basin. In this study, Genetic Algorithm and SCE-UA method as global optimization methods were applied to compare the each optimization technique and to analyze the application for the rainfall-runoff models. Modified TANK model that is used to calculate outflow for watershed management and reservoir operation etc. was optimized as a long term rainfall-runoff model. And storage-function model that is used to predict real-time flood using historical data was optimized as a short term rainfall-runoff model. The optimized models were applied to simulate runoff on Pyeongchang-river watershed and Bocheong-stream watershed in 2001 and 2002. In the historical data study, the Genetic Algorithm and the SCE-UA method showed consistently good results considering statistical values compared with observed data.

In this paper, a new protocol-based approach was proposed for development of a ubiquitous vision system. It is possible to apply the approach by regarding the ubiquitous vision system as a multiagent system. Thus, each vision sensor can be regarded as an agent (vision agent). Each vision agent independently performs exact segmentation for a target by color and motion information, visual tracking for multiple targets in real-time, and location estimation by a simple perspective transform. Matching problem for the identity of a target during handover between vision agents is solved by the Identified Contract Net (ICN) protocol implemented for the protocol-based approach. The protocol-based approach by the ICN protocol is independent of the number of vision agents and moreover the approach doesn't need calibration and overlapped region between vision agents. Therefore, the ICN protocol raises speed, scalability, and modularity of the system. The protocol-based approach was successfully applied for our ubiquitous vision system and operated well through several experiments.

In this paper, we propose a design method of automatic thickness measurement and defect inspection system, which measures the thickness of the autoclaved lightweight concrete block and inspects the defect on a real-time basis. The image processing system was established with a CCD camera, an image grabber, and a personal computer without using assembled measurement equipment. For the realization of proposed algorithm, the preprocessing method that can be applied to overcome uneven lighting environment, threshold decision method, unit length decision method in uneven condition with rocking objects, and the curvature calibration method of camera using a constructed grid are developed. From the experimental results, we have found that the required measurement accuracy specification is sufficiently satisfied using our proposed method.

In biological cell manipulation, manual thrust or penetration of an injection pipette into an embryo cell is currently performed by a skilled operator, relying on visual feedback information only. Accurately measuring cellular forces is a requirement for minimally invasive cell injections. Moreover, the cellular force sensing is essential in investigating the biophysical properties for cell injury and membrane modeling studies. This paper presents cellular force measurements for the force feedback-based biomanipulation. Cellular force measurement system using piezoelectric polymer sensor is implemented to measure the penetration force of a zebrafish egg cell. First, measurement system setup and calibration are described. Second, the force feedback-based biomanipulation is experimentally carried out. Experimental results show that it successfully supplies real-time cellular force feedback to the operator at tens of uN and thus plays a main role in improving the reliability of biological cell injection tasks.

Aerosol optical properties from the radiation measurements by SKYNET PREDE skyradiometers, POM-01 and POM-02 were compared during the inter-calibration campaign at Seoul in February 2009. The monochromatic solar flux at the top of the atmosphere ($F_0$) gave a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 9-10% for both instruments. This comparatively high value of RSD was probably because $F_0$ was determined at short time intervals, in the morning and afternoon, using the measurements made in the polluted environment of Seoul. Although POM-02 was more effective in tracking the solar radiation, aerosol optical depths (AODs) from the two instruments were very similar after the cloud screening procedure. The squared correlation coefficients ($R^2$) of single scattering albedo (SSA) and real and imaginary refractive indices between the two instruments was around 0.5 but increased to 0.7-0.8 when only using AOD greater than 0.4. Nevertheless, mean values of the Angstrom exponent, SSA, and the imaginary refractive index of POM-02 were higher than those of POM-01.

River Management System was developed to achieve water quality analysis that reflects physical characteristics of river flow. The Gyecheon basin which is located at the upstream of Hoengseong dam was selected as an experimental watershed and hydrologic and water quality monitoring network was set up for acquisition of real time data. The observed data have been stored in the system until present. The hydraulic and water quality models were constructed for an experimental watershed, and the calibration and verification was performed using past flood events and observed water quality data. Graphic User Interface(GUI) was developed with ArcView in a study area. Developed system can be effectively used to water quality monitoring and management in Hoengseong Lake.

최근 유비쿼터스 환경에서 프로젝터를 기반으로 사용자가 원하는 위치에 영상을 제공하는 유비쿼터스 디스플레이 연구가 진행 중이다. 프로젝터는 투사방향에 따라 영상의 왜곡이 발생함으로써, 프로젝터 기반의 유비쿼터스 디스플레이는 왜곡된 영상을 보정하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 영상 보정을 위한 기존 연구는 특정마커를 설치하거나 특정 패턴의 영상을 투사하는 등의 선행 작업을 통해 기하보정을 수행한다. 이 방법들은 투사방향이 변화될 때마다 선행 작업을 요구하므로 실시간 기하보정을 수행할 수 없다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문은 특정마커나 카메라와 같은 별도의 장치 없이도 투사되는 방향에 따라 영상의 왜곡 정도를 예측하여 실시간으로 보정된 영상을 제공하는 기하보정 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 특정 보정장치를 사용하지 않고 보정함으로써, 약 27fps의 빠른 처리속도를 가진다. 또한 상용 리모컨을 사용하여 프로젝터의 투사방향을 쉽게 제어하는 편리한 인터페이스를 제공한다.
