A previous study verified that the SIRT (simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique) method is more efficient than the back-projection method as a CT algorithm for wood. However, it was expected that the determination of the initial model function of the SIRT method would influence the quality of CT image. Therefore, in this study, we intended to develop a technique that could be used to determine an adequate initial model function. For this purpose, we proposed several techniques, and for each technique we examined the effects of the initial model function on the average errors and the CT image at each iteration. Through this study, it was shown that the average error was decreased and the image quality was improved using the proposed techniques. This tendency was most pronounced when the back-projection method was used to determine the initial model function. From the results of this study, we drew the following conclusions: 1) The initial model function of the SIRT method should be determined with careful attention, and 2) the back-projection method efficiently determines the initial model function of the SIRT method.

Electrical resistance tomography(ERT)는 적절하게 설계된 전류를 대지 지하에 주입하여 이에 따른 인가전압을 대지 경계에서 측정한 후 이를 근거로 ERT의 영상복원 알고리즘에서 대지 지하의 대지저항률 분포를 얻고 대지 지하에 뭍힌 물체를 크기와 위치, 그리고 저항률에 대한 특성을 파악할 수 있는 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 ERT의 영상복원 기법으로 Gauss-Newton, TLS와 SIRT 방법들을 살펴본다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 TLS 방법을 이용한 ERT 영상복원의 성능이 Gauss-Newton와 SIRT방법에 의해 얻어진 결과보다 향상되는 것을 보이도록 한다.

For the proper conservation of wooden cultural properties, non-destructive evaluation (NDE) method, which can be used to quantitatively evaluate the internal state of wood members, are needed. In this study, an ultrasonic CT system composed of portable devices was attempted, and the capacity of this system was verified by reconstructing the CT images for two phantoms and two artificially defected specimens. Results from this study showed that the sizes of detected defects were enlarged and the shapes were distorted on the CT images. Also, the positions were shifted somewhat toward the surface of specimen, which is regarded due to the anisotropic property of wood. Compared to the filtered back-projection method, SIRT (simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique) method was determined to be more efficient as the algorithm of image reconstruction for wood. A new ultrasonic CT system is thought to be used as a NDE method for wood. However wood characteristics and wave diffraction within wood made it difficult to accurately evaluate the size, shape and position of defects. To improve the quality of CT image of wood, more research including the relationship between wood and ultrasound is needed, and wood properties should be taken into consideration on the image reconstruction algorithm.

본 연구에서는 초음파와 tomography 기법을 기반으로 콘크리트 구조물의 비파괴 시험에 대한 방법론을 정립하고 검증하였다 일반적인 X-ray tomography에서는 물체를 통과하는 파동의 감쇠(attenuation) 데이터에 기초를 두고있는 반면에, 본 연구에서는 time-of-flight(TOF) 데이터를 사용하여 매질의 굴절률(refractive index)을 포괄적으로 표현하는 단층영상을 복원한다 X-ray tomography에서는 측정된 감쇠 데이터를 영상복원(Image reconstruction) 알고리즘에 의해서 처리하며, 파동의 굴절은 고려할 필요가 없다 그러나 초음파는 매질(medium)의 굴절률(refractive index)에 따라 초음파의 경보가 변경되므로 초음파 tomography에서는 초음파 경로의 연산이 선행되어야만 단층영상을 복원할 수 있게 된다 초음파 정보의 연산은 가하광학(Geometrical Optic)에서 사용되는 굴절률과 경로의 관계에 기초를 둔다 영상 복원은 대수학적 접근 방법인 ART (algebraic reconstruction technique) 또는 SIRT(simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique)를 기초로 연산된 초음파의 경로를 따라 선적분한 TOF 값과 측정된 TOF 값의 차이를 기반으로 수행된다 실제 구현에서는 초음파가 직진한다는 가정하에 영상을 복원하고, 이를 기반으로 초음파의 경로를 연산하였다 본 논문에서는 이들 두 과정(경로연산 및 영상복원)의 반복연산을 통하여 영상을 복원하였다. 세안하는 알고리즘을 모의실험으로 평가하였고, 실제 콘크리트 구조물에 적용하여 본 방법론의 무한한 가능성을 입증하였다.

The changes of electromagnetic wave velocity in rock were monitored to investigate rock behaviors due to the drill & blasting excavations through georadar tomography during the construction of the underground rock laboratory (5 m wide, 6 m high, and 140 m long) at Mabuk-Ri, Goosung-Myun, Yongin-Si, Kyunggi-Do. Two horizontal boreholes spaced 1.4 m apart were drilled parallel to the test tunnel before excavating it, high-resolution crosshole georadar tomography with about 500 MHz electromagnetic waves was performed at pre-excavation phase (May, 1996) and post-excavation phase (August, 1996). The data were acquired with the combination of 34 sources and 44 receivers with space of 0.3 m. Only 11 continuous receivers were selectively utilized with one fixed source. Sampling interval was 0.4 ns and each trace has 512 samples. The first arrival of each trace was picked manually with a picking software. The total number of rays used in inversion amounted to 34x11 and the size of pixel was determined to be 0.3 m. As an inversion technique, SIRT(Simultaneous Iterative Reconstruction Technique) was applied in this study. The velocity of electromagnetic waves at post-excavation phase decreased as large as 15% in comparison with that at pre-excavation phase, which may be attributed to the creation of micro-cracks in rock due to excavations and saturation with groundwater. Small amount of borehole deviation made a critical effect in radar tomography. Totally different tomograms were created after borehole deviation corrections.
