In this research, the overlapped illumination model was used for designing a freeform LED lens with a uniform illuminance distribution on its illuminating plane, and their performances and tolerances were compared. And, the illuminations on a illumination plane was measures for change with average illuminance and illuminance uniformity. As a result of the tolerance analysis about z-axis direction change, thickness change in lens and tilt change of light emission and characteristic change in LED source, overlapped model and divergent illumination model are similar to the performance about Z-axis direction change of light emission in LED source. but the uniformity illumination value in this overlapped model is more remarkably value than it in divergent illumination model about thickness change in LED lens. Also, even though the lens based on a divergent illumination model showed good performance compare to the lens based on an overlapped illumination model, the latter was less the deviation to variation of LED beam radiation ability.

In this paper, we proposed a new method to correct the zoom lens distortion for the video sequence captured by the zoom lens. First, we defined the nonlinear zoom lens distortion model which is represented by the focal length and the lens distortion using the characteristic that lens distortion parameters are nonlinearly and monotonically changed while the focal length is increased. Then, we chose some sample images from the video sequence and estimated a focal length and a lens distortion parameter for each sample image. Using these estimated parameters, we were able to optimize the zoom lens distortion model. Once the zoom lens distortion model was obtained, lens distortion parameters of other images were able to be computed as their focal lengths were input. The proposed method has been made experiments with many real images and videos. As a result, accurate distortion parameters were estimated from the zoom lens distortion model and distorted images were well corrected without any visual artifacts.

많은 비전 응용에서 카메라의 광축은 영상 평면과 직교한다는 가정을 한다. 그러나 가정아래 전통적인 왜곡 영상 보정 방법은 렌즈의 방사(radial) 왜곡과 이탈(decentering) 왜곡만을 고려하고 있다. 그러나 렌즈의 광축(optical axis)과 영상 켈리브레이션 평면이 직교하지 않을 경우는 평면 투명 변환과 카메라 자체의 렌즈 왜곡이 복합되어 나타나게 되므로 기존 방법만으로는 이러한 복합왜곡을 보정할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 일방 방사왜곡 뿐만 나이라 평면 투명변환과 렌즈왜곡이 동시 존재하는 영상 시스템에서도 적용 가능한 왜곡 영상 자동 보정 방법을 제한한다. 제안한 복합 왜곡 모델은 평면 투명 변환 모델과 렌즈의 방사 왜곡 모델로부터 유도하고, 계수 추출 알고리듬은 비 선형 최소화 기법인 Levenberg-Marquart 방법에 기반을 둔다. 실험은 이상형 격자 영상에 임의 왜곡 계수를 적용한 영상과 WebCam 카메라의 실제 왜곡 영상을 가지고 실시하였고, 기존 방법과 제안한 방법의 보정율을 비교 평가하였다. 실험결과 제안한 방법은 렌즈 왜곡만 있는 경우에도 기존 방법보다 우수하였으며, 복합왜곡 환경에서도 97% 이상의 보정율로 아주 견고하게 적용 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

This paper presents a simple method to estimate center of distortion and correct radial distortion from fish-eye lens. If the center of image is not locate that of lens in a straight line, the disadvantage of FOV model is low accurate because of correcting distortion without estimated centre of distortion. We propose a method accurately estimating Distortion center using FOV model and 2D pattern from wide angle lens. Our method determines the center of distortion in least error between straight lines and curves with FOV model. The results of experimental measurements on synthetic and real data are presented.

The parameters of lens such as focal length, focus, and aperture stop changes while shooting the scenes with zoom lens. Especially, zooming action dramatically changes the geometry of lens system that causes significant change of lens model. We investigated how the lens model changes while zooming in general shooting condition. Each parameters of lens model was estimated and checked whether they can be modeled well in the condition of auto-controlling focus, aperture and vibration reduction. In order to do this, calibration images were taken, modeled in different fecal length setting. And changing patterns of models were inspected to find out if there is some elements that have some particular pattern in changing with respect to focal length. The result showed us that although we didn't control the focus and aperture setting, there's specific changing patterns in radial and do-centering distortion. Especially, the strong linear correlation was found between coefficient of $r^2$ and focal length. It is expected that many parts of distortion can be eliminated without additional self calibration even if zoom operation is done when shooting the scenes if we know its fecal length and model of this coefficient.

최근 고해상력을 가진 줌 렌즈 CCD(Charge Coupled Device) 카메라가 출시되면서 디지털 영상을 쉽게 취득할 수 있게 되어 일상적인 활용에서부터 컴퓨터 시각(computer vision)이나 사진측량과 같은 전문적인 분야에 이르기까지 다양하게 응용할 수 있는 계기가 마련되고 있다. 현재 상용되고 있는 일반 줌 렌즈 CCD 카메라는 영상을 취득하는 데 많은 장점을 갖고 있으나 실제 영상 취득과정에서 다양한 줌의 이동으로 인하여 표정요소계산 및 카메라 렌즈 오차검정에 상당한 어려움이 발생하여 이에 대한 연구가 진행되어오고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 비측량용 카메라에서 취득된 영상을 해석하는 기법으로 사진측량 분야에서 사용되어온 DLT(Direct Linear Transformation) 모델식과 컴퓨터 시각(computer vision)분야에서 카메라 검정 및 3차원 복원에 사용되고 있는 Tsai 모델식을 도입ㆍ적용하여 표정요소계산 및 3차원 복원정확도를 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 Tsai 모델식에 의한 결과가 DLT 모델식에 의한 결과보다 정확도 및 안정성면에서 향상된 결과를 보여주고 있어서 Tsai 모델식에 대한 사용이 기대된다.

Photogrammetry and computer vision are identical in determining the three-dimensional coordinates of images taken with a camera, but the two fields are not directly compatible with each other due to differences in camera lens distortion modeling methods and camera coordinate systems. In general, data processing of drone images is performed by bundle block adjustments using computer vision-based software, and then the plotting of the image is performed by photogrammetry-based software for mapping. In this case, we are faced with the problem of converting the model of camera lens distortions into the formula used in photogrammetry. Therefore, this study described the differences between the coordinate systems and lens distortion models used in photogrammetry and computer vision, and proposed a methodology for converting them. In order to verify the conversion formula of the camera lens distortion models, first, lens distortions were added to the virtual coordinates without lens distortions by using the computer vision-based lens distortion models. Then, the distortion coefficients were determined using photogrammetry-based lens distortion models, and the lens distortions were removed from the photo coordinates and compared with the virtual coordinates without the original distortions. The results showed that the root mean square distance was good within 0.5 pixels. In addition, epipolar images were generated to determine the accuracy by applying lens distortion coefficients for photogrammetry. The calculated root mean square error of y-parallax was found to be within 0.3 pixels.

In this research, an overlapped illumination model was newly proposed for designing a freeform LED lens with a uniform illuminance distribution on its illuminating plane. Based on the proposed model and conventional illumination models, freeform lenses were designed and their performances and tolerances were compared. As a result of the tolerance analysis about thickness change in lens, position, size change, central direction change of light emission and characteristic change in LED source. This proposed model and divergent illumination model are similar to the performance about central direction change of light emission in LED source. but the uniformity illumination value in this proposed model is more remarkably value than it in divergent illumination model about characteristic change in LED source.

In this paper, we propose a method to reconstruct resolution-improved 3D images computationally based on lenslet array model in integral imaging technique and analyze its performance. While conventional view-point reconstruction method has low resolution based on pinhole array model, the proposed method can obtain resolution-improved 3D images because of extracting multiple pixels from elemental images by use of lenslet way model. To show the usefulness of proposed method, we perform computational experiments and present its results.

A mathematical model was proposed to analyze the damped motion of contact lens which is initially displaced from the equilibrium position. The model incorporates the differential equations and their numerical solution program, based on the formulations of restoring force arising from the capillary action in the tear-film layer between the lens and cornea. The model predicts the capillary action induced surface tension, time dependence of displacement of lens when it is released from the equilibrium position. It seems that the motion of lens is similar to the typical over-damped oscillation caused by the large viscous friction in the liquid layer between the cornea and lens. The effect of variables such as base curves, lens diameters and thickness of tear film layer were illustrated by the computer simulation of the derived program. The time required for the lens to return to the original position increases as the liquid layer thickness increases and it decreases as the diameter of lens increases. With the certain value of base curve the time interval is found to be minimum. The free vibrations of lenses were also simulated varying the parameters such as base curve, diameter, layer thickness. The resonant frequencies are inversely proportional to the liquid layer thickness and it increases as the lens diameter increases. The resonant frequency of lens has a maximum when the diameter is of certain value. If the external impulse or force of the same frequency as the natural frequency of contact lens acted on the cornea in vivo it may cause an excessive movement and thus it might cause the distortion 10 the lens or be pulled off the eye.
