In this paper, we propose an efficient image equipment implementation for the detector characteristics of various detectors by analyzing un-cooled thermal detector that exhibits nonlinear changes due to external temperature effects. First, we explain Thermal Electric Cooler for un-cooled detector temperature control system and Non-image correction methode for IR system. Second, we present the results of a study on an efficient control technique that can minimize the deterioration of image quality by controlling a un-cooled thermal detector without a thermal electric cooler(TEC) inside. Third, we suggest Image Correction Methods for Uncooled IR TECless Detector with Non-linear characteristics due to Temperature Change. So, we analyze and present the results of Image correction methods for various un-cooled thermal detector.

이 논문에서는 가시광선 얼굴영상과 그로부터 예측한 열 적외선 텍스처의 데이터 융합에 의한 얼굴인식 방법에 관하여 연구하였다. 제안하는 얼굴인식 기법은 가시광선 얼굴영상과 열 적외선 텍스처를 PCA에 의하여 낮은 차원의 특징공간에서 특징벡터로 변환한 다음, 다층 신경회로망을 사용하여 가시광선 영상 특징으로부터 얼굴의 열적외선 특징을 예측하여 열 적외선 텍스처를 생성하였다. 학습과정에서는 주어진 개체로부터 획득한 한 쌍의 가시광선 및 열 적외선 영상에 대해서 PCA를 이용하여 낮은 차원의 특징공간으로 변환한 다음, 가시광선 영상특징으로부터 열 분포 특징으로 매핑시키는 비선형 함수에 해당하는 신경회로망의 내부 파라미터를 결정한다. 학습된 신경회로망은 입력 가시광선 얼굴 특징으로부터 열 에너지 분포 특성의 PCA계수를 예측하고, 이로부터 열 적외선 텍스처를 생성한다. 대표적인 두 가지 얼굴인식 알고리즘 Eigenfaces와 Fisherfaces을 사용하여 NIST/Equinox 데이터베이스에 대하여 얼굴인식에 관한 실험을 수행하였다. 예측한 열 적외선 텍스처와 가시광선 얼굴영상의 데이터 융합결과는 가시광선 얼굴영상만을 사용한 경우에 비해서 얼굴인식의 성능이 개선되었음을 수신자 조작특성 (ROC) 및 첫 번째 매칭성능에 의하여 검증하였다.

In this study, the thermal oxidation of raw natural rubber (NR) was investigated under controlled conditions by optical image and fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis. The thermal oxidation was performed on a transparent thin film of raw NR coated on a KBr window in a dark chamber at 80℃ under low humidity conditions to completely exclude moisture and restrict light oxidation. Images of the thin film of raw NR were obtained before and after thermal oxidation. FT-IR absorption spectra were measured in the transmission mode at different thermal exposure times. The thermal oxidation of NR was examined by the changes in the absorption peaks at 3449, 1736, 1447, 1377, 1242, 1072, and 833 cm^-1, which corresponded to a hydroxyl group (-OH), a carbonyl group (-C=O) from an aldehyde and a ketone, a methylene group (-CH₂-), a methyl group (-CH₃), a carbon-oxygen single bond (-C-O) from an epoxide, a carbon-oxygen bond (-C-O) from an ether, an alcohol, a peroxide, or a cyclic peroxide, and a cis-methine group (cis-CCH₃=CH-), respectively. In the initial stage of thermal oxidation, two different types of free radicals were produced quickly and randomly by the homolytic cleavage of a double bond and allylic hydrogen abstraction. Aldehydes and ketones were formed from chain scissions of the double bonds and alcohols were produced from allylic hydrogen abstraction at the methylene or methyl groups. Two reactions seemed to proceed competitively with each other. At a later stage, oxidative crosslinks seemed to dominate through the combination of free radicals such as an allyl radical (CH=CHCH₂·), alkoxy radical (RO·), and peroxy radical (ROO·) and the reaction of a hydroperoxide (-ROOH) with a double bond. The image obtained after thermal oxidation showed hardening without cracks. Based on these observations, a plausible two-step mechanism was suggested for chain hardening caused by the thermal oxidation.

모든 물체에서 방출되는 적외선을 감지하여 영상신호로 만들어 주는 적외선 감지 칩은 보편적으로 적외선감지 소자와 신호 취득 회로가 각기 다른 칩으로 제작되어 하이브리드 본딩 기법을 통해 만들어 진다. 본 논문에서는 신호 취득 회로의 설계 과정과 시뮬레이션 결과를 보여 주며, 실제 제작 결과, 6V의 인가 전압에서 설계 사양에 만족하는 동작 특성을 보임을 확인하였다. 제작된 신호 취득 회로를 이용하여 적외선 감지칩을 제작하고 이를 자체 제작한 열영상 시스템에 장착하여 열영상을 구현해 보았다. 얻어진 열영상은 고온과 상온의 물체에 대해서 인식이 가능한 수준이었으며, 열영상 시스템의 잡음 특성을 좀 더 개선할 경우 더나은 열영상을 얻을 수 있으리라 기대한다.

The conversion of an invisible thermal radiation pattern of an object into a visible image using infrared (IR) thermal technology is very useful to understand phenomena what we are interested in. Although IR thermal images were originally developed for military and space applications, they are currently employed to determine thermal properties and heat features in various applications, such as the non-destructive evaluation of industrial equipment, power plants, electricity, military or drive-assisted night vision, and medical applications to monitor heat generation or loss. Recently, IR imaging-based monitoring systems have been considered for application in agricultural, including crop care, plant-disease detection, bruise detection of fruits, and the evaluation of fruit maturity. This paper reviews recent progress in the development of IR thermal imaging techniques and suggests possible applications of thermal imaging techniques in agriculture.

This paper describes a thermal image processing algorithm for uncooled type TEC-less IR detector which is applicable to fire control system of small arms. We implemented a real-time gain and offset compensation algorithm based on polynomial approximation from the raw dataset which is acquired by two reference temperature of blackbody from various FPA(Focal Plane Array) temperature. Through the experiment, we analyzed the output characteristics of detector's raw-data and compared IR image quality to traditional non-uniformity correction method. It shows that the proposed method works well in all FPA temperature range with low residual non-uniformity.

In the pursuit of enhancing image fusion techniques, this research presents a novel approach for fusing multimodal images, specifically infrared (IR) and visible (VIS) images, utilizing a combination of partial differential equations (PDE) and discrete cosine transformation (DCT). The proposed method seeks to leverage the thermal and structural information provided by IR imaging and the fine-grained details offered by VIS imaging create composite images that are superior in quality and informativeness. Through a meticulous fusion process, which involves PDE-guided fusion, DCT component selection, and weighted combination, the methodology aims to strike a balance that optimally preserves essential features and minimizes artifacts. Rigorous evaluations, both objective and subjective, are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the approach. This research contributes to the ongoing advancement of multimodal image fusion, addressing applications in fields like medical imaging, surveillance, and remote sensing, where the marriage of IR and VIS data is of paramount importance.

This is a widespread requirement for low cost lightweight thermal imaging sensors for both military and civilian applications. Today, a large number of uncooled infrared detector developments are under progress due to the availability of silicon technology that enables realization of low cost IR sensor. System prices are continuing to drop, and swelling production volume will soon drive process substantially lower. The feasibility of micromechanical optical and infrared (IR) detection using microcantilevers is demonstrated. Microcantilevers provide a simple Structurefor developing single- and multi-element sensors for visible and infrared radiation that are smaller, more sensitive and lower in cost than quantum or thermal detectors. Microcantilevers coated with a heat absorbing layer undergo bending due to the differential stress originating from the bimetallic effect. This paper reports a micromachined silicon uncooled thermal imager intended for applications in automated process control. This paper presents the design, fabrication, and the behavior of cantilever for thermomechanical sensing.

Thermal imager is now regarded as one of the key observation devices for ISR activities and getting important more and more. As other detectors, however, the thermal detectors also have maximum input and therefore they will be saturated if the input IR energy exceeds the allowed range. The saturation in the thermal detector makes it impossible to distinguish the target from background, as a result, the thermal imager does not perform its own mission anymore. In order to get an insight related with the image saturation, this paper develops a saturation model for a thermal imaging system, not a thermal detector. The proposed modeling starts from analyzing the specification of a thermal imager. Coupled with the characteristic parameters of the object, the saturation model can be used to predict the distance on which the detector is saturated. The proposed saturation model prove its validity by applying it for the case of observing a flash-bang.
