The purpose of this study was to provide a fundamental information for enhancing 110m hurdlers' performance through conducting comparative biomechanical analysis between Skilled Group(SG) and Less-Skilled Group(LSG) those who are not in the first section of 110m hurdles. To persue the purpose of this study, total of 10 hurdlers participated. Then they were divided into two groups; SG: five hurdlers who have won awards with 14-second range at 2010 national track and field event, and LSG: five hudlers who did not win any awards with 15-second range. Three-dimensional motion analysis with 12 infrared cameras(Oqus 300, Qualisys) and 1 force plate(Type 9286AA, Kistler) was performed. From this study following conclusions were obtained. 1) For the overall runtime, SG revealed faster elapsed time than that of LSG. 2) At E4, LSG showed greater trunk angle than that of SG. 3) At E3 LSG revealed higher angular velocities than that of SG. 4) No significant differences was found for AP GRF between groups but LSG showed greater VGRF than that of SG.

Despite the importance of cycling postures during cycling performances, there has been a very little research investigating cycling postures and pedaling rate for particularly concerning domestic cyclists. The aim of this study was to analyze correlations and effects between cycling postures and pedaling rate in track cycling. Twelve male racing cyclists (six racing and university cyclists) participated in this research. For this study, seven infrared cameras (Qualisys ProReflex MCU-240s) were used for collecting data and these were processed via QTM (Qualisys Tracker Manager) software. It appeared that pedaling rate had correlations with regard to a shoulder angle (R=-.601) and displacement between shoulder joints(R= -.637), but a knee (R=-.601) and ankle angle (R=.667). Moreover, two multiple regression equations of pedaling rate for cycling postures were significant and R2 of the first order equation y (pedaling rate) = 0.039x (knee angle) - 1.068 was less than the second order equation y = 0.006x2 - 1.287x + 69.674. In conclusion, cycling postures affected the pedaling rate. Further study should be researched on postures in relation to air resistance in a wind tunnel.

In this paper, a real-time implementation of scene-based non-uniformity correction by digital technique is proposed for microscan-mode staring infrared cameras. Most scene-based non-uniformity correction algorithms, without sensor motion, can not be applied to stationary scenes because of image blurring and fading. Using microscanning effect, coupled with a modified version of Scribner's algorithm, the proposed technique can correct the artifacts and non-uniformities in real time Computer simulations and hardware experiments demonstrate substantial Improvement of image qualities in stationary as well as moving scenes.

During liquid rocket engine combustion, the resulting combustion gas has flow characteristics of high temperature and high velocity. An experimental study was performed to obtain basic data for a flame deflector design that is endurable under such flow characteristics. While the injected-water cools down the combustion plume, temperature and pressure of the plume was measured. As the experiment is being performed, gas temperature was measured using infrared cameras, and the gas temperature data was compared with the temperature data from the sensor in the plume. With the results of this experiment, we were able to obtain applicable temperature data for flame deflector design and predict the performance and structural strength required for installation of water injector.

Ultrasonic, infrared, and CCD cameras are typically used to obtain location information, but the error range is large depending on the surrounding environment. However, IR-UWB can be used for distance and location measurement both indoors and outdoors, Technology. It is possible to determine the existence and distance of an object by emitting a short signal width in units of 1 ns and using a reflected signal and a time delay. It is also possible to measure the exact position within the cm error irrespective of the environmental conditions. Since it processes a large number of reflection signals, we try to measure three-dimensional spatial coordinates by improving the noise by using the mean value of the signal, the band pass filter and the FFT.

자연 하천의 홍수 유량 측정은 매우 어렵고 많은 비용과 시간, 노력을 요하는 작업이다. 보다 안전하고 경제적인 유량 측정의 대안으로 제시된 것이 하천 표면의 영상 분석을 이용하는 표면영상유속계이다. 이처럼 영상유속계로 하천 유속을 측정할 때, 적절한 품질의 영상을 취득하는 것은 기본이며 매우 중요한 단계이다. 특히 홍수 첨두는 야간에 발생하는 경우가 많으므로, 야간에 영상 분석에 적절한 품질의 하천 표면영상을 취득하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 야간 영상을 측정하기 위해 별도의 조명을 이용하거나 발광체를 이용하는 방법이 대안으로 제시되었으나 여전히 실용적인 차원의 적용에는 이르지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 표면영상유속계의 영상 취득 장치로 원적외선 카메라를 이용할 수 있는가 시험하였다. 원적외선 카메라는 별다른 조명의 도움없이 야간의 하천 표면영상을 취득할 수 있다. 안동하천실험센터의 인공수로에서 주야간 촬영을 하고 영상 분석을 통해 원적외선 카메라의 적용성을 검토하였다. 비교를 위하여 일반적인 캠코더와 근적외선 카메라를 동시에 적용하였다. 세 종류의 카메라로 촬영된 영상은 시공간 영상의 상호상관 분석법을 통해 유속으로 환산하고, 미속계로 측정한 표면 유속과 비교하였다. 비교 결과 원적외선 카메라 영상은 주야간에 상관없이 적절한 유속을 분석해 낼 수 있음을 보였다. 다만, 공간 해상도가 높지 않아 영상 분석의 정확도는 최적의 조건에서 다른 카메라로 촬영된 영상에 비해 떨어진다.

The aim of this study was to investigate kinematic mechanism of gait different road conditions(dry vs. oil) in order women. For this study, twenty older women and ten young women participated in this research. twelve infrared cameras were used to collect data. It appeared that the gait strategies of older women were slower velocity and higher CoM than young women. Depending on road conditions, gait velocities of dominant muscle older women on dry surface were faster than dominant sense older women, but those of them were inverse on oil surface. The slip displacement of dominant muscle older women was less than young women, but the slip displacement of dominant sense older women was greater than young women. In case of blind during stance phase on oil surface, the rotational motion of the ankle and knee joints were increased. In conclusion, older women were subjected to self-organization theory and phase shift in dynamic theory.

Objective: Bilateral movement training is an effective method for upper extremity rehabilitation of stroke. An approach to induce bilateral movement through functional electrical stimulation is attempted. The purpose of this study is to develop an EMG-triggered functional electrical stimulation device for upper extremity bilateral movement training in stroke patients and test its feasibility. Design: Feasibility and Pilot study design. Methods: We assessed muscle activation and kinematic data of the affected and unaffected upper extremities of a stroke patient during wrist flexion and extension with and without the device. Wireless EMG was used to evaluate muscle activity, and 12 3D infrared cameras were used to evaluate kinematic data. Results: We developed an EMG-triggered functional electrical stimulation device to enable bilateral arm training in stroke patients. A system for controlling functional electrical stimulation with signals received through a 2-channel EMG sensor was developed. The device consists of an EMG sensing unit, a functional electrical stimulation unit, and a control unit. There was asymmetry of movement between the two sides during wrist flexion and extension. With the device, the asymmetry was lowest at 60% of the threshold of the unaffected side. Conclusions: In this study, we developed an EMG-triggered FES device, and the pilot study result showed that the device reduces asymmetry.

PURPOSE: This study examined the changes in the kinematic variables during walking on a downhill ramp according to the shoe heel height. METHODS: The subjects were 10 adult women with no history of musculoskeletal disorders who agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected using a motion analysis system (VICON) consisting of six infrared cameras. The slope was 120 cm in width, 200 cm in length, and 15 in inclination. To confirm the change in gait parameters (stride length, gait speed) and lower extremity joint angle according to the heel heights of the shoes, flat, 5 cm, and 10 cm heel shoes were prepared and walked alternately. RESULTS: As a result, both the stride length and walking speed showed significant differences according to the heel height between flat and 10 cm (p<.05). In the sagittal plane, there was no significant difference in the hip joint and knee joint, but a significant difference was observed in all events in the ankle joint on all heel heights (p<.05). In particular, the heel strike and mid stance events showed significant differences among all height conditions (p<.05). No significant difference was observed in any of the joint angle changes in the frontal plane (p>.05). CONCLUSION: As the shoe heel height increased, the instability increased and efforts to secure the stability were made, leading to a shortened stride length, walking speed, and angle of the ankle joint.
