The virtual Frisch-grid method for room-temperature radiation detectors has been widely used because of its simplicity and high performance. Recently, side electrodes were separately attached to each surface of the detectors instead of covering the entire detector surface with a single electrode. The side-electrode structure enables the measurement of the three-dimensional (3D) gamma-ray interaction in the detector. The positional information of the interaction can then be utilized to precisely calibrate the response of the detector for gamma-ray spectroscopy and imaging. In this study, we developed a 3D position-sensitive 5 × 5 × 12 mm³ cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) detector and applied a flattening method to correct detector responses. Collimated gamma-rays incident on the surface of the detector were scanned to evaluate the positional accuracy of the detection system. Positional distributions of the radiation interactions with the detector were imaged for quantitative and qualitative evaluation. The energy spectra of various radioisotopes were measured and improved by the detector response calibration according to the calculated positional information. The energy spectra ranged from 59.5 keV (emitted by ²⁴¹Am) to 1332 keV (emitted by ⁶⁰Co). The best energy resolution was 1.06% at 662 keV when the CZT detector was voxelized to 20 × 20 × 10.

A detection system was set up to measure the neutron generation rate of a recently developed D-D neutron generator. The system is composed of a Si detector, He-3 detector, and electronics for pulse height analysis. The neutron generation rate was measured by counting protons using the Si detector, and the data was crosschecked by counting neutrons with the He-3 detector. The efficiencies of the Si and He-3 detectors were calibrated independently by using a standard alpha particle source $^{241}Am$ and a bare isotopic neutron source $^{252}Cf$, respectively. The effect of the cross-sectional difference between the D(d,p)T and $D(d,n)^3He$ reactions was evaluated for the case of a thick target. The neutron generation rate was theoretically corrected for the anisotropic emission of protons and neutrons in the D-D reactions. The attenuations of neutron on the path to the He-3 detector by the target assembly and vacuum flange of the neutron generator were considered by the Monte Carlo method using the MCNP 4C2 code. As a result, the neutron generation rate based on the Si detector measurement was determined with a relative uncertainty of ${\pm}5%$, and the two rates measured by both detectors corroborated within 20%.

State-of-art instance segmentation networks are successful at generating 2D segmentation mask for region proposals with highest classification score, yet 3D object segmentation task is limited to geocentric embedding or detector of Sliding Shapes. To this end, we propose an amodal 3D instance segmentation network called A3IS-CNN, which extends the detector of Deep Sliding Shapes to amodal 3D instance segmentation by adding a new branch of 3D ConvNet called A3IS-branch. The A3IS-branch which takes 3D amodal ROI as input and 3D semantic instances as output is a fully convolution network(FCN) sharing convolutional layers with existing 3d RPN which takes 3D scene as input and 3D amodal proposals as output. For two branches share computation with each other, our 3D instance segmentation network adds only a small overhead of 0.25 fps to Deep Sliding Shapes, trading off accurate detection and point-to-point segmentation of instances. Experiments show that our 3D instance segmentation network achieves at least 10% to 50% improvement over the state-of-art network in running time, and outperforms the state-of-art 3D detectors by at least 16.1 AP.

본 연구에서는 검출기의 중심축을 자동 보정하는 초소형 CT를 설계 및 제작하고 성능을 검증하였다. 3D CAD 데이터와 초소형 CT 검출기 중심축을 수동으로 보정하여 촬영한 X-ray 데이터를 사용하여 3차원 재구성 성능을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 중심축이 0.25° 이상 기울면 원형 깨짐 현상이 발생하면서 3차원 재구성 영상의 품질이 급격히 저하된다는 사실을 발견하였다. 검출기 중심축 자동보정 장치를 적용하여 검출기 중심축이 시편 회전축과 일치하도록 보정하여 3차원 재구성 성능을 향상시켰다.

D-STTD 시스템은 Alamouti Code로 알려진 STTD기법을 적용하여 다이버시티 효과를 획득하면서 STTD기법을 병렬로 한번 더 사용함으로써 멀티플렉싱 효과도 얻을 수 있는 기법이다. 이러한 서로 다른 정보를 보내는 멀티플렉싱 효과로 인해 D-STTD는 기존 STTD 기법의 Combining 기법을 적용하는데 어려움을 가져온다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 MMSE 기법을 바탕으로 멀티플렉싱 검출 기법으로 잘 알려진 Linear 알고리즘, SIC 알고리즘, OSIC 알고리즘을 D-STTD 시스템에 적용하고 그 성능을 비교한다. 그리고 새롭게 MAP 알고리즘을 D-STTD 시스템에 적용하여 성능을 분석하고자 한다. 모의 실험 결과, Linear MMSE Detector보다 반복 알고리즘을 적용한 Detector가 최대 3.7dB의 성능향상을 보였다. 특히, 반복 Detector 중 MAP 알고리즘을 적용한 경우에는 약 4.4dB의 성능차까지 나타냈다.

Hidden flame detection after allegedly extinguishing a fire cannot be emphasized enough. There are a few commercial hidden fire detection equipments which are imported, but the cost is relatively high. In this contribution, we propose a development of a low-cost, high-performance hidden flame detector using open-source hardware/software. We use Raspberry-pi based hardware board equipped with a TFT touch-screen LCD, a 3G modem, and an attachable battery device altogether integrated in a plastic case fabricated with a 3D printer. The proposed hidden flame detector shows the same performance of a commercial product FLIR E5 while consuming less than a half of the cost.

This paper presents an implementation of Lattice Reduction (LR)-aided detector for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system using Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). GPU is a parallel processor which has a number of Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs), thus, it can minimize the operation time of LR algorithm through the parallelization using multiple threads in the GPU. Through the implemented LR-aided detector, we verify that the LR-aided detector operates a lot faster than Maximum Likelihood (ML) detector. The implemented LR-aided detector has been applied to WiMAX system to show the feasibility of its real-time processing. In addition, we demonstrate that the processing time can be reduced at the cost of 3dB SNR loss by limiting the repeating loop in Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovasz (LLL) algorithm which is frequently used in LR-aided detector.

This letter presents a power amplifier (PA) with an on-chip power detector for 2.4-GHz wireless local area network application. The power detector consists of a clamp circuit, a diode detector, and a coupled line directional coupler. A series inductor for an output matching network in the PA is combined with a through line of the coupler, which reduces the coupling level. Therefore, the coupler employs a metamaterial-based transformer configuration to increase coupling. The amount of coupling is increased by 2.5 dB in the 1:1 symmetric transformer structure and by 4.5 dB from two metamaterial units along the coupled line.
