The driving safety of autonomous vehicles will strongly depend on their ability to recognize road surface conditions such as dry, wet, snowy and icy road. Currently, the existing investigations to detect road surface conditions still have limitations in daytime and nighttime conditions. The objective of this paper is to propose and develop a new system with three near-infrared (NIR) LED sources. This choice is based on the advantages of LED sources over laser diodes. They are less sensitive to temperature and have lower costs. Considering these advantages, the feasibility of the LED system to recognize road surface conditions is investigated. For this, the appropriate wavelengths of the LED tri-wavelength source are first computed from experimental data taking into account the specific LED spectral shape. In addition, the effect of the spectral bandwidth of the LED sources on the system performance is theoretically studied. Finally, the NIR LED system with the LED sources at 970, 1450 and 1550 nm is experimentally tested and validated with an incident angle from 78.7 to 86.2∘. According to the results of the experiments, the accuracy of the classification of snow, wet and water can reach 97 %, while the accuracy of the dry and wet road surface conditions is respectively 73 % and 68 %.\u0000","PeriodicalId":17167,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sensors and Sensor Systems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44225404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Acceptance and reverification testing for industrial computed tomography – a simulative study on geometrical misalignments","authors":"F. Wohlgemuth, T. Hausotte, I. Schmidt, W. Kimmig, Karl Dietrich Imkamp","doi":"10.5194/jsss-11-171-2022","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5194/jsss-11-171-2022","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract. Acceptance and reverification testing for industrial X-ray computed tomography (CT) is described in different standards (E DIN EN ISO 10360-11:2021-04, 2021; VDI/VDE 2630 Blatt 1.3, 2011; ASME B89.4.23-2020, 2020). The characterisation and testing of CT system performance are often achieved with test artefacts containing spheres. This simulative study characterises the influence of different geometrical error sources – or geometrical misalignments – on these sphere measurements. The two measurands on which this study focuses are the sphere centre-to-centre distances and the sphere probing form errors. One difference between the current draft of the ISO 10360-11 standard (E DIN EN ISO 10360-11:2021-04, 2021) and the VDI/VDE standard 2630 part 1.3 (VDI/VDE 2630 Blatt 1.3, 2011) as well as the ASME standard B89.4.23 (ASME B89.4.23-2020, 2020) are the differences for the sphere centre-to-centre distances that need to be measured. The VDI/VDE standard and the ASME standard require measurements of these kinds of distances of up to 66 % of the possible maximum distance within the measurement volume, while the ISO draft asks for measurements of up to 85 % of the possible maximum distance. This requirement needs to be considered in connection with the maximum permissible error (MPE) specification for these sphere distance measurements. This MPE should be specified as a linear function of the nominal distance or a constant value or a combination thereof (compare definition 9.2 of ISO 10360-1:2000 + Cor.1:2002 (DIN EN ISO 10360-1:2003-07, 2003)), and thus, the linearity of the length-dependent maximum measurement error of the sphere distance measurements is of interest. This simulative study inspects to what extent this linearity can be observed for CT measurements under the influence of different geometric errors. Further, the question is whether measurement lengths above 66 % necessitate a change in the MPE specification. Thus, an automatic identification of cases that might affect the MPE specification is proposed, and these cases are inspected manually. A second aspect of this study is the impact of geometrical misalignments on the probing form errors of a measured sphere. The probing form error also needs to be specified. Thus, whether and how it is influenced by the misalignments is also of interest. Based on our simulations, we conclude that probing form errors and sphere centre-to-centre distances of up to 66 % of the maximum possible measurement length within the measurement volume are sufficient\u0000for acceptance testing concerning geometrical misalignments – each geometrical misalignment can be detected well with at least one of these two measurands.\u0000","PeriodicalId":17167,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sensors and Sensor Systems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49273012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low-pass filtering and single-sided amplitude spectrum analysis are used to evaluate the main information of the current measurement.

Koch","doi":"10.5194/jsss-11-137-2022","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5194/jsss-11-137-2022","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract. The family of sputter deposited granular metal-based\u0000carbon-containing sensor films is known for their high sensitivity\u0000transforming force-dependent strain into electrical resistance change. Among\u0000them nickel–carbon thin films possess a gauge factor of up to 30, compared\u0000to only 2 for traditional sensor films of metal alloys. This high\u0000sensitivity is based on disordered interparticle tunneling through barriers\u0000of graphite-like carbon walls between metal–carbon particles of columnar\u0000shape. Force and pressure sensors would benefit a lot from the elevated\u0000piezoresistivity. A disadvantage, however, is a disturbing temporal creep\u0000and drift of the resistance under load and temperature. This contribution\u0000shows how to stabilize such sensor films. A significant stabilization is\u0000achieved by partially replacing nickel with chromium, albeit at the expense\u0000of sensitivity. The more chromium used in these NixCr1−x-C layers,\u0000the higher the optimum annealing temperature can be selected and the better\u0000the electrical stabilization. A good compromise while maintaining\u0000sensitivities well above the standard of 2 is identified for films with\u0000x=0.5 to 0.9, stabilized by optimized temperature treatments. The\u0000stabilizing effect of chromium is revealed by transmission electron\u0000microscopy with elemental analysis. The post-annealing drives segregation\u0000processes in the layer material. While the interior of the layer is depleted\u0000of chromium and carbon, boundary layers are formed. Chromium is enriched\u0000near the surface boundary, oxidized in air and forms chromium-rich oxide\u0000sub-layers, which are chemically very stable and protect against further\u0000reactions and corrosion.
