There have been continuous efforts on automating welding processes. This automation process could be said to fall into two categories, weld seam tracking and weld quality evaluation. Recently, the attempts to achieve these two functions simultaneously are on the increase. For the study presented in this paper, a vision sensor is made, a vision system is constructed and using this, the 3 dimensional geometry of the bead is measured on-line. For the application as in welding, which is the characteristic of nonlinear process, a fuzzy controller is designed. And with this, an adaptive control system is proposed which acquires the bead height and the coordinates of the point on the bead along the horizontal fillet joint, performs seam tracking with those data, and also at the same time, controls the bead geometry to a uniform shape. A communication system, which enables the communication with the industrial robot, is designed to control the bead geometry and to track the weld seam. Experiments are made with varied offset angles from the pre-taught weld path, and they showed the adaptive system works favorable results.

NTMS(Non-contact Tilted-angle Measuring System) is developed by using the principle that the magnetic field of an anisotropic magnet's inner space is uniform and it's possible to measure the strength of the magnetic field using a linear hall effect sensor. In order to implement the caliper system of the geometry PIG(Pipeline Inspection Gauge) which has high accuracy and proper output voltage of the hall sensor without additional driving module or a signal amplifier, it is necessary to consider the size of the magnet, the inner space and back-yoke and the position of pin-hole in the magnet. So the optimal design method of the caliper system is proposed through analysis of NTMS's magnetic field adopting a FEM(Finite Element Method). The experimental results show that the developed caliper system can be used for the geometry pig with good performances.

In this paper, the possibilities of the Infra-red sensor in sensing and control of the bead geometry in the automated welding process are presented. Infra-red sensor is a well-known method to deal with the problems with a high degree of fuzziness so that the sensor is employed to build the relationship between process variables and the quality characteristic the proposed above respectively. Based on several neural networks, the mathematical models are derived from extensive experiments with different welding parameters and complex geometrical features. The developed system enables to select the optimal welding parameters and control the desired weld dimensions during arc welding process.

In this paper, we proposed a simplified strategy for the epipolarity of linear pushbroom imagery. The proposed strategy is verified on "Gupta and Hartly" sensor model and "Orun and Natarajan" sensor model. It is also compared with the precise epipolarity model of each sensor model on SPOT and KOMPSAT imagery. For the quantitative analysis, 20 ground control points are used as independent checking points. Based on the results, the accuracy of the proposed strategy is not different from that of the precise epipolarity model of each sensor model (below 0.1 pixels). Under the worst circumstance, the proposed strategy is robust. We can assure that the proposed strategy will show high accuracy on most of sensor models based on the co-linearity equations.

Satellite cameras are calibrated before launch in detail and in general, but it cannot be guaranteed that the geometry is not changing during launch and caused by thermal influence of the sun in the orbit. Modem satellite imaging systems are based on CCD-line sensors. Because of the required high sampling rate the length of used CCD-lines is limited. For reaching a sufficient swath width, some CCD-lines are combined to a longer virtual CCD-line. The images generated by the individual CCD-lines do overlap slightly and so they can be shifted in x- and y-direction in relation to a chosen reference image just based on tie points. For the alignment and difference in scale, control points are required. The resulting virtual image has only negligible errors in areas with very large difference in height caused by the difference in the location of the projection centers. Color images can be related to the joint panchromatic scenes just based on tie points. Pan-sharpened images may show only small color shifts in very mountainous areas and for moving objects. The direct sensor orientation has to be calibrated based on control points. Discrepancies in horizontal shift can only be separated from attitude discrepancies with a good three-dimensional control point distribution. For such a calibration a program based on geometric reconstruction of the sensor orientation is required. The approximations by 3D-affine transformation or direct linear transformation (DL n cannot be used. These methods do have also disadvantages for standard sensor orientation. The image orientation by geometric reconstruction can be improved by self calibration with additional parameters for the analysis and compensation of remaining systematic effects for example caused by a not linear CCD-line. The determined sensor geometry can be used for the generation? of rational polynomial coefficients, describing the sensor geometry by relations of polynomials of the ground coordinates X, Y and Z.

In this paper, an epipolar model without the ephemeris data is proposed. Also, various epipolar models such as the epipolar geometry of perspective sensor, the one proposed by Gupta and Hartley and the one based on the Orun and Natarajan's sensor model are reviewed and their accuracy are quantitatively analyzed using devised measure. Modeling data from ground control points, ground control points, ephemeris data and independent checking points are selected on SPOT over Taejon and Boryung area and KOMPSAT over Taejon and Nonsan area. Based on the results, the epipolar model of perspective sensor and the one by Gupta and Hartley have the average accuracy within 1 pixel but show high errors in several checking points. The proposed epipolarity model provides better results than that of perspective sensor and by Gupta and Hartley. Also, it shows the accuracy similar to the one based on Orun and Natarajan's sensor model.

Triangulation method, conoscopic holography method and interferometry method are analyzed for effective measurement of micro burr geometry, which is formed in micro drilling. To select proper sensor, the cross section of a cylinder with 0.5mm diameter is measured and the result shows that conoscopic holography method is effective for measuring highly inclined surface in cylinder. Burrs with 1.0mm and 30${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ height are measured by three suggested methods. As a result, the conoscopic holography method is proved to be most proper in measuring burr geometry. Burr measurement system is developed, which consists of conoscopic laser sensor, X-Y table, controller and burr measurement program. Burrs can be measured automatically and the result is displayed in 3D shape

For the burrs formed in machining are irregular and very sharp in shape, it is usually very difficult to measure burr accurately. It was proved that micro burr geometry can be measured imprecision by the Conoprobe sensor using conoscopic holography method. We developed 3D burr measurement system using this sensor. The system is composed of Conoprobe sensor, XY table, controller and 3D measurement program. Some measurements using the developed system are conducted for the burrs formed in micro drilling and piercing. Specific software fur burr measurement includes several function, calculation of burr volume, average burr height. Burs formed on a curved surface were compensated and measured successfully using the basic surface compensation function.

In this study, the bias-temperature stress and current-temperature stress induced by the electrical stabilities of half-Corbino hydrogenated-amorphous-silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film transistors (TFTs) with different gate electrode geometries fabricated on the same substrate were examined. The influence of the gate pattern on the threshold voltage shift of the half-Corbino a-Si:H TFTs is discussed in this paper. The results indicate that the half-Corbino a-Si:H TFT with a patterned gate electrode has enhanced power efficiency and improved aperture ratio when compared with the half-Corbino a-Si:H TFT with an unpatterned gate electrode and the same source/drain electrode geometry.

We present a simple method to watermark three-dimensional (3D) triangular meshes that have been generated from the depth data of the Kinect sensor. In contrast to previous methods, which maintain the shape of 3D triangular meshes and decide the embedding place, requiring calculations of vertices and their neighbors, our method is based on selecting one of the coordinate axes. To maintain shape, we use discrete wavelet transform and constant regularization. We know that the watermarking system needs the information to be embedded; we used a text to provide that information. We used geometry attacks such as rotation, scales, and translation, to test the performance of this watermarking system. Performance parameters in this paper include the vertices error rate (VER) and bit error rate (BER). The results from the VER and BER indicate that using a correction term before the extraction process makes our system robust to geometry attacks.
