High-resolution satellite images at sub-5m footprint are becoming increasingly available to the earth observation community and their respective clients. The related cameras are all using linear array CCD technology for image sensing. The possibility and need for accurate 3D object reconstruction requires a sophisticated camera model, being able to deal with such sensor geometry. We have recently developed a full suite of new methods and software for the precision processing of this kind of data. The software can accommodate images from IKONOS, QuickBird, ALOS PRISM, SPOT5 HRS and sensors of similar type to be expected in the future. We will report about the status of the software, the functionality and some new algorithmic approaches in support of the processing concept. The functionality will be verified by results from various pilot projects. We put particular emphasis on the automatic generation of DSMs, which can be done at sub-pixel accuracy and on the semi-automated generation of city models.

We propose a new miniature air-bearing stage with a moving-magnet slotless linear motor. This stage was developed to achieve the precise positioning required for submicron-level machining and miniaturization by introducing air bearings and a linear motor sufficient for mesoscale precision machine tools. The linear motor contained two permanent magnets and was designed to generate a preload force for the vertical air bearings and a thrust force for the stage movement. The characteristics of the air bearings, which used porous pads, were analyzed with numerical methods, and a magnetic circuit model was derived for the linear motor to calculate the required preload and thrust forces. A prototype of a single-axis miniature stage with dimensions of $120\;(W)\;{\times}\;120\;(L)\;{\times}\;50\;(H)\;mm$ was designed and fabricated, and its performance was examined, including its vertical stiffness, load capacity, thrust force, and positioning resolution.

With the development of micro-technology, the demand for micro actuator is increasing. But, it is difficult to achieve high resolution and long travel range simultaneously with the conventional actuators. So, the noncontact surface actuator was proposed. This actuator can realize high dynamic range and the planar motion without complex cross-axis linear slides. This paper describes a magnetically suspended linear actuator for developing a non-contact surface actuator. The operating principle and the structure of the proposed linear actuator are similar to switched reluctance motor, but the proposed linear actuator utilizes normal force and propulsion force simultaneously. With this characteristic, the system can be simpler than other non-contact surface actuator.

Linear motor can directly apply to the system needed linear mot ions without rotary mot ions. To control a high-speed and high-resolution, the development of the linear motors is recently required in the high-integrated and speed process industry. This paper presents vibration analyses as well as measurement standards of the newly developed linear motors through analyzing the vibration characteristics and thermal behaviors of the advanced products. Vibration experiments are conducted for identifying the hysteresis and vibration level during operation. They are also included in the modal test to analyze the vibration. Analytic data using Finite Element Method (FEM) are compared with the results of the modal. Loss of temperature generated the linear motor leads to a serious deformation within its parts. The thermal behaviors are very important factor in linear motor. The FEM and experiments make it possible to understand these characteristics.

We report the construction of a MALDI imaging mass spectrometer equipped with a specially designed laser focusing lens, a compact aspherical singlet lens, that obtains a high-lateral imaging resolution in the microprobe mode. The lens is specially designed to focus the ionization laser (${\lambda}$ = 355 nm) down to a $1{\mu}m$ diameter with a long working distance of 34.5 mm. With the lens being perpendicular to the sample surface and sharing the optical axis with the ion path, the imaging mass spectrometer achieved an imaging resolution of as good as $5{\mu}m$ along with a high detection sensitivity of 100 fmol for peptides. The mass resolution was about 900 (m/${\Delta}m$) in the linear TOF mode. The high-resolution capability of this instrument will provide a new research opportunity for label-free imaging studies of various samples including tissues and biochips, even for the study at a single cell level in the future.

최근 UHDTV(ultra high definition television) 등의 고해상도 디스플레이가 시장에 등장하면서, 기존의 저해상도 FHD(full high definition) 영상을 고해상도 영상으로 변환할 수 있는 초해상화(super-resolution, SR) 기법들이 각광을 받고 있다. 그 중, 선형 매핑(linear mapping)을 사용하여 저해상도 패치(patch)로부터 고해상도 패치를 복원하는 초해상화 기법은 상대적으로 낮은 복잡도로 좋은 품질의 고해상도 영상을 생성한다. 그러나 이러한 기법은 단순한 선형 매핑을 기반으로 하기 때문에 복잡한 비선형적(nonlinear) 저해상도-고해상도 관계를 예측하기 힘든 단점이 있다. 최근 각광받는 딥러닝(deep learning) 기술은 다층(multi-layer) 네트워크를 쌓아 입력과 출력 간의 복잡한 비선형 관계를 훈련시켜 좋은 성능을 보이는데, 이를 바탕으로 본 논문에서는 다중의 레이어로 구성된 다층 선형 매핑(multi-layer linear mappings, MLLM)을 기반으로 하는 초해상화 기법을 새롭게 제안한다. 제안하는 다층 선형 매핑은 기존 선형 매핑보다 비선형적 관계를 더 잘 예측하여 높은 품질의 고해상도 영상을 생성할 수 있게 한다. 제안된 초해상화 기법은 딥러닝 기반 초해상화 기법과 필적하는 품질의 고해상도 영상을 생성하면서도 더 낮은 복잡도를 지니는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper a novel method for angular position determination using sensors with sin/cos output and without an excitation signal, is presented. The linearization of the sensor transfer characteristic and digitalization of the measurement results are performed simultaneously with a goal to increase the measurement resolution. This improvement is particularly important for low angular velocities, and can be used to increase the resolution of incremental Hall, magnetic and optical sensors. This method includes two phases of sin/cos signal linearization. In the first linearization phase the pseudo-linear signal is generated. The second linearization phase, executed by the two-stage piecewise linear ADC, is an additional linearization of the pseudo-linear signal. Based on the LabVIEW software simulations of the proposed method, the contribution of each processing phase to a final measurement error is examined. After the proposed method is applied within $2{\pi}$ [rad] range, the maximal nonlinearity is reduced from 0.3307 [rad] ($18.9447^{\circ}$) to $3{\cdot}10^{-4}$ [rad] ($0.0172^{\circ}$).

The degradation of image due to the finite size of sensing device has been one of the problems to all of the digital imaging systems. The improvement of the spatial resolution has been attempted by "differential method" with fixed sensor size and finer sampling. The computer simulations were carried out for the cases of PLF system (Parallel Linear Fan-beam) and SR(Stationary Ring) system and the results are presented.

In this paper, we present the basic design results for high-resolution radar development at S-band frequency that can precisely measure the miss distance between two targets. The basic system requirement is proposed for the design of a 3.5 GHz linear frequency-modulated (LFM) radar with maximum detection distance and distance resolution of 2 km and 1 m, respectively, and the specifications of each module are determined using the radar equation. Our calculations revealed a signal-to-noise ratio ${\geq}30dB$ with a bandwidth of 150 MHz, transmission power of 43 dBm for the power amplifier, gain of 26 dBi for the antenna, noise figure of 8 dB, and radar cross-section of $1m^2$ at a target distance of 2 km from the radar. Based on the calculation results and the theory and method of LFM radar design, the hardware was designed using software defined radar technology. The results of the subsequent field test are presented that prove that the designed radar system satisfies the requirements.

The objective of this study was to compare the resolution and density appropriate to diagnosis in chest PA radiography. In comparing the resolution, we radiographed with conventional radiography, computed radiography(CR) and digital radiography(DR) using the linear resolution phantom(Nuclear Associates-Carle Place. N.Y.). 2 radiologists and 3 radiological technologists read the resolution value by the blind test. DR, conventional radiography and CR measured 3.95, 3.58, 3.48 resolution value respectively. In analysing the density, we chose the fifty normal chest CR and DR and conventional film. We estimated the density using by densitometer(X-rite company-Model 301) in seven regions(lung field, lung field margine, mediastinum I, mediastinum II, heart shadow I, heart shadow II, diaphragm) of chest film. We adapted to analysis the Japanese chest X-ray evaluating method and table. It was scored 0(farthest density value) to 2(nearest density value). DR scored 2 at mediastinum I, mediastinum II, heart shadow I, heart shadow II and diaphragm. On the contrary with, CR scored 2 at lung field and lung field margine. Consequently, DR superior than CR and conventional radiography film compairing density and resolution. It was due to small pixel size and post processing algorithm with digital radiography.
