본 논문에서는 집적 영상에서 렌즈 배열의 격자를 정확하게 검출하기 위한 캘리브레이션 패턴 영상을 제안한다. 렌즈 배열의 격자를 검출하기 위해서 수직, 수평 방향의 에지 영상이 필요하다. 입력 영상의 에지를 잘 검출하지 못하면, 렌즈 배열의 요소 영상 크기를 결정할 때 오류가 발생할 수 있다. 이를 위해, 본 논문에서는 에지를 잘 검출할 수 있는 캘리브레이션 패턴 영상을 제안하여 정확도를 향상 시킨다. 본 논문에서는 실험을 통하여 제안하는 방법이 기존의 방법보다 집적 영상에서 렌즈 배열의 격자를 검출할 때 우수하게 적용될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

We propose a design method of a Rotman lens for curved array antenna applicable to conformal array. In this paper, design equations are derived to obtain an array curve, transmission line lengths of a Rotman lens in conjunction with a curved array antenna, and the phase error of a Rotman lens based on these design equations is minimized through the beam curve optimization procedure and the refocusing procedure. Rotman lenses designed by the proposed design equations and design procedures still maintain 3 focal points, can feed a convex or concave array antenna with circular curve, parabolic curve, V-shaped curve, etc as well as a straight line array antenna, and have minimal phase error.

We propose a method to reconstruct the two-dimensional object from an image captured through an array of random lenses each of which has random shape, size, and focal power. In the proposed method, the characteristics of the random lens array are estimated by capturing images for known elementary inputs, and then the object is reconstructed by measuring correlations between the random lens images of the object and the elementary inputs. The experimental results show that the original object can be recognized by the proposed reconstruction method. Nevertheless, further quality enhancement is required to increase feasibility and to extend to general three-dimensional object cases.

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.

In this paper, we propose a novel reconstruction method of spatially filtered 3D images in integral imaging based on parallel lens array. The parallel lens array is composed of two lens arrays, which are positioned side by side through longitudinal direction. Conventional spatial filtering method by using convolution property between periodic functions has drawback that is the limitation of the position of target object. this caused the result that the target object should be located on the low depth resolution region. The available spatial filtering region of the spatial filtering method is depending on the focal length and the number of elemental lens in the integral imaging pickup system. In this regard, we propose the parallel lens array system to enhance the available spatial filtering region and depth resolution. The experiment result indicate that the proposed method outperforms the conventional method.

We investigate characteristics of viewing resolution improvement in three-dimensional integral imaging, when a dynamic lens array method is adopted. We show that the viewing resolution changes for different moving directions and distances of the lens array through computer-synthesized integral imaging. From this study, optimal moving conditions of the lens array for efficient viewing resolution improvement can be determined.

In this paper, a symmetric microwave lens to steer wide angle and to operate at broad band frequency range for a linear phased array transmitter was designed. To get accurate beam steering performance far a linear phased array transmitter, uniform amplitude transmission characteristics of microwave lens was focused. The measured result for the insertion loss deviation between Input and output ports of microstrip lens with 8 beam ports and 8 array ports was $\pm$3.1 ㏈ over 6~18 ㎓ band, which was very uniform characteristics. Using 8 elements linear array antenna, it was confirmed the radiation beam could be steered over $\pm$60$^{\circ}$ in azimuth. And the measured lens performance data and multi-beam steering pattern were presented.

In this study, we fabricated the microlens array using very simple and economical method which used Si molds made by bulk etching in HNA and spreaded SU-8 on top of the Si mold. And, we developed fabrication conditions for high fill factor microlens array that is $45{\mu}m$ in height and $150{\mu}m$ in diameter. This microlens array can be used for imaging system like IR detector or projection display. It is expected that it can improve the characteristics of these devices.

In this paper, we propose a fast and accurate method of extracting lens array lattice in integral imaging by using an appropriate calibration pattern image and fast median filtering. In order to extract the lattice of a lens array, vertical and horizontal edge images are required. To extract edge images, the well-known previous method used separable median filters. However, this method is slow and difficult to determine the median filter size. In order to overcome this problem, we try to improve speed by calculating median value through binary counting method. In addition, we propose a calibration pattern image that detects edges well and improves the accuracy. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method is superior to the existing method in extracting the lattice of a lens array in integral imaging.
