Multi-Spectral Camera(MSC) is a main payload on the KOMPSAT-2 satellite to perform the earth remote sensing. The MSC instrument has one(1) channel for panchromatic imaging and four(4) channel for multi-spectral imaging covering the spectral range from 450nm to 900nm using TDI CCD Focal Plane Array (FPA). The compression method on KOMPSAT-2 MSC was selected and used to match EOS input rate and PDTS output data rate on MSC image data chain. At once the MSC performance was carefully handled to minimize any degradation so that it was analyzed and restored in KGS(KOMPSAT Ground Station) during LEOP and Cal./Val.(Calibration and Validation) phase. In this paper, on-orbit image data chain in MSC and image data processing on KGS including general MSC description is briefly described. The influences on image performance between on-board compression algorithms and between performance restoration methods in ground station are analyzed and discussed.

All image data acquisition systems for example the digital camera and digital camcorder, use the image sensor to convert the image data (light) into electronic data. These image sensors are used in satellite camera for high quality and resolution image data. There are two kinds of image sensors, the one is the CCD (charge coupled device) detector sensor and the other is the CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) image sensor. The CCD sensor control system has more complex than the CMOS sensor control system. For the high quality image data on CCD sensor, the precise timing control signal and the several voltage sources are needed in the control system. In this paper, the comparison of the CCD with CMOS sensor, the CCD sensor characteristic, and the control system will be described.

In this study, to compensate trembling of camera caused by vibration of user's hand, 2-axis voice coil actuator of optical image stabilizer (OIS) is suggested. In consideration of actuating performance, volume of OIS and application of hall sensor, one of concept models is selected and it is optimized to maximize the actuating performance. Two types of mechanisms that have the feasibility of moving in 2-axis and the capability of including the optimized EM circuit are proposed. Finally both types are fabricated and then actuating performance of OIS actuator and behavior of hall sensor are verified through the experiment.

This paper proposes a method for rejecting false matches in automobile rear view camera image sequences. Our method consists of two submethods which utilize the motion characteristics of an automobile. One is for a straight motion and the other is for a curve motion. First, we classify an image sequence into a straight motion or a curve motion and then apply an appropriate submethod. Our method works in cases where the percentage of true matches is as low as 30%.

This paper proposes to integrate WAP(Wireless Application Protocol) with Bluetooth to implement a home automation system. One of the most important benefits of the proposed approach is the elimination of the problem of limited distance of Bluetooth as less than 10 meter. With WAP providing a data link between the Internet and a mobile phone and embedded WEB camera through Bluetooth, we can control various home appliances whenever and wherever we want. The hardware and software design issues for implementing such system are discussed and a pilot home automation system is implemented.

This paper proposes trajectory tracking of the moving object based on one camera vision system. And, this system proposes a method which robot manipulator grips moving object and predicts coordinate of moving objcet. The trajectory tracking and position coordinate are computed by vision data acquired to camera. Robot manipulator tracks and grips moving object by vision data. The proposed vision systems use a algorithm to do real-time processing.

An effective algorithm for implementation of unmanned surveillance system which detects moving object from image sequences, predicts the direction of it, and drives the camera in real time is proposed. Outputs of proposed algorithm are coordinates of location of moving object, and they are converted to the values according to camera model. As a pre- processing, extraction of moving object and shape discrimination are performed. Existence of the moving object or scene change is detected by computing the temporal derivatives of consecutive two or more images in a sequence, and this result of derivatives is combined with the edge map from one original gray level image to obtain the position of moving object. Shape discri-mination(Target identification) is performed by analysis of distribution of projection profiles in x and y directions. To reduce the prediction error due to the fact that the motion cha- racteristic of walking man may have an abrupt change of moving direction, an order adaptive lattice structured linear predictor is proposed.

Visible light communication (VLC) is a rapidly growing area of research and applications, due to the potential and predicted high efficiency of bandwidth. One of the key challenges in VLC technology is the choice of devices which are going to be deployed VLC features. Smartphone rationally uses the most widely deployed visible light sensor i.e. image sensor in camera, which could be used to receive the intensity modulated data. Image sensor based VLC system would be the most deployable scenario but initially the capacity was not much attractive compared with photodetector based VLC system. Here, the spatial multiplexing is proposed in MIMO based VLC system to increase the system capacity by utilizing the property of spatial separation of optical light sources in smartphone's camera module. The active pixels of imaging plane act as the multiple receivers which could be able to use on MIMO spatial multiplexing to enhance the system performance.

In this paper, 'lifetime-temperature rise model' based on the 'lifetime-resistance model' is theoretically Proposed, in order to find out the evaluation method of degradation and the residual lifetime by use of infrared image camera for electric connections/contacts. Two assumptions have been builded up for the 'lifetime-temperature rise model': one is associated with the linear relationship between the temperature ism ΔK and contact resistance, and the other the functional relationship between the temperature of electric connections/contacts and the operating time presenting in the 'lifetime-resistance model'. To prove the proposed model, experiments have been performed for various electric connections/contacts. From the experimental results, measured values were quite similar to the calculated values, which proved the above-mentioned two assumptions. Therefore, by use of 'lifetime-temperature rise model', it is possible to estimate the trend of degradation and the residual lifetime for electric connections/contacts through the temperature measurements .

본 연구는 한 대의 칼라 카메라와 광학장치를 이용하여 인체의 운동량을 측정하는 시스템에 관한 것이다. 광학을 이용하여 인체의 운동량을 측정하기 위해서는 일반적으로 두 대 이상의 카메라로부터 획득된 영상으로 측정물체에 대한 좌표를 구하는 입체화상법을 사용한다. 제시한 시스템은 서로 다른 색의 칼라필터와 거울을 통과한 두 개의 광경로를 빔스플리터로 중첩시켜서 한 대의 칼라카메라로 영상을 획득하여 분석하는 것으로, 한 대의 칼라카메라가 두 대의 단색 가상카메라 역할을 하는 것이다. 단색 가상카메라는 적색, 녹색과 청색의 세 가지로 본 실험에서는 적색의 밝기가 가장 낮아서 녹색과 청색 가상카메라를 사용하였다. 광학장치를 이용하여 칼라카메라로 획득된 적색, 녹색과 청색별로 8bit인 24bit 디지털영상에서 녹색과 청색 영상은 각각 녹색과 청색의 가상카메라로 획득한 영상이다. 이 영상들을 이진화하여 측정물체를 배경으로부터 분리하고, 이진영상에서 일정한 면적을 지닌 영역의 중심을 측정물체가 영상면에 투영된 좌표로 본다. 녹색과 청색 영상에서 동일한 측정물체에 대한 영상선을 구하고 이들의 교차점을 측정물체의 공간좌표로 하였다. 이 시스템을 이용하여 직립 및 신전자세에서 척추의 형상을 측정하였으며 향후 시스템의 추가적인 개발과 적응분야에 대하여도 살펴보았다.
