Red ginsengs are inspected manually by examining those in the dark room with back light illumination. Manual inspection is often influenced by physical condition of inspectors. Sometimes. the best grade, heaven. has some inner holes though it was inspected by a specialist. In order to resolve this problem, this study was performed to develop image processing algorithm to detect the inner holes in the x-ray image of ginseng. Because of little gray value difference between background and ginseng in the image. simple thresholding method was not appropriate. Modified watershed algorithm was used to differentiate the inner holes from background and normal ginseng body. Inner hole edge region detected by watershed algorithm consists of many number of blobs including normal portions. With line profile analysis with scanning one line at a time beginning the starting point. it shelved two peaks both ends representing extracting each blobs. in which setting threshold value as of lower peak value enabled us to obtain inner hole image. Once this procedure has to be done till the finishing point it is completing inner hole detection for one blob. Thus. conducting ail blobs by this procedure is completing inner detection of one whole ginseng. Detection results of the inner holes fer various size of red ginsengs were good even though there was small detection variation. 6.2%. according to position of x-rat tube.

In this paper, the measurement of the inner diameter dimension of the circular hole by using a machine vision system was studied. This paper was focused on the theory and key technologies of machine vision inspection technology for the improvement of measurement accuracy and speed of the micro circular holes. A new method was proposed and was verified through the experiments on Gray conversion, binarization, edge extraction and Hough transform in machine vision system processes. Firstly, the Hough transform was proposed in order to improve the speed increase and implementation ease, it demonstrated the superiority of Hough transform and improvement through a comparative experiment. Secondly, we propose a calibration method of the system in order to obtain exactly the inner diameter of the circular hole. Finally, we demonstrate the reliability of the entire system as a MATLAB-based implementation of the GUI program, measuring the inner diameter of the circular hole through the circular holes of different dimensions measuring experiment.

Using a line scan camera and a Galvano mirror, we constructed a high-speed line-scanning microscope that can generate 2D images ($8000{\times}8000pixels$) without any moving parts. The line scanner consists of a Galvano mirror and a cylindrical lens, which creates a line focus that sweeps over the sample. The measured resolutions in the x (perpendicular to line focus) and y (parallel to line focus) directions are both $2{\mu}m$, with a 2X scan lens and a 3X relay lens. This optical system is useful for measuring defects, such as spalling, chipping, delamination, etc., on the surface of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) holes after machining in conjunction with adjustments in the angle of LED lighting. Defects on the inner wall of holes are measured by line confocal laser scanning. This confocal method will be useful for analyzing defects after CFRP machining and for fast 3D image reconstruction.

The purpose of this paper is the development of guidance algorithm for a mobile robot which is used to acquire the position and state information of the pipe defects such as crack, damage and through hole. The data used for the algorithm is the range data obtained by the range sensor which is based on an optical triangulation method. The sensor, which consists of a laser slit beam and a CCD camera, measures the 3D profile of the pipe's inner surface. After setting the range sensor on the robot, the robot is put into a pipe. While the camera and the LSB sensor part is rotated about the robot axis, a laser slit beam (LSB) is projected onto the inner surface of the pipe and a CCD camera captures the image. From the images the range data is obtained with respect to the sensor coordinate through a series of image processing and applying the sensor matrix. After the data is transformed into the robot coordinate, the position and orientation of the robot should be obtained in order to guide the robot. In addition, analyzing the data, 3D shape of the pipe is constructed and the numerical data for the defects of the pipe can be found. These data will be used for pipe maintenance and service.

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.

핵연료봉의 결함 탐상을 위하여 차동환상형 와전류시험 탐촉자를 설계 및 제작하여, 핵연료봉 시험을 위한 최적 시험 조건을 구하였다. 관통결함, 내부결함, 외부결함을 낸 표준시편에 대하여 와전류시험을 수행함으로써 시험 주파수와 출력 신호의 위상 및 크기에 대한 상관 관계를 구하였다. 이를 토대로 하여 고리원자력 1호기에서 연소한 핵연료봉 G33-N2에 대하여 와전류시험을 수행하여 관통결함 신호를 얻었다. 와전류시험에서 관통결함으로 예측된 위치에서 금속조직시험을 수행하여 얻은 결과는 와전류시험 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 따라서 와전류시험법은 조사핵연료봉의 피복관에 대한 건전성을 평가하는 도구로써 그 신뢰성이 양호함을 실증하였다.
