To capture color and near-infrared images simultaneously, a multi-spectral filter array(MSFA) sensor is used. This is because an NIR band gives additional invisible information to human eyes to see subject under extremely low light level. However, because lenses have different refractive indices for different wavelengths, lenses may fail to focus widely different rays to the same convergence point. This is why a chromatic aberration(CA) problem occurs and images are degraded. In this paper, the image restoration algorithm for an MSFA image, which removes the CA problem, is presented. The obtained MSFA image is filtered by the estimated low-pass kernel to generate a base image. This base image is used to remove CA problem in multi-spectral(MS) images. By modeling the image degradation process and by using the least squares approach of the difference between the high-frequencies of the base and MS images, the desired high-resolution MS images are reconstructed. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs well in estimating the high-quality MS images and reducing the chromatic aberration problem.

Recently, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has been investigated to overcome the limitation of conventional mammography for overlapping anatomical structures and high patient dose with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). However incomplete sampling due to limited angle leads to interference on the neighboring slices. Many studies have investigated to reduce artifacts such as interference. Moreover, appropriate filters for tomosynthesis have been researched to solve artifacts resulted from incomplete sampling. The primary purpose of this study is finding appropriate filter scheme with FBP reconstruction for DBT system to reduce artifacts. In this study, we investigated characteristics of various filter schemes with simulation and prototype digital breast tomosynthesis under same acquisition parameters and conditions. We evaluated artifacts and noise with profiles and COV (coefficinet of variation) to study characteristic of filter. As a result, the noise with parameter 0.25 of Spectral filter reduced by 10% in comparison to that with only Ramp-lak filter. Because unbalance of information reduced with decreasing B of Slice thickness filter, artifacts caused by incomplete sampling reduced. In conclusion, we confirmed basic characteristics of filter operations and improvement of image quality by appropriate filter scheme. The results of this study can be utilized as base in research and development of DBT system by providing information that is about noise and artifacts depend on various filter schemes.

Time-encoded near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) system is proposed, based on a near-infrared (NIR) swept laser source, for comparison to the conventional NIRS method using a detector-type spectrometer. The cavity of the NIR swept laser source consists of a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) with a gain region around 800 nm, and several fiber-optic components. To change the output wavelength in time using an applied electric radio-frequency signal, an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) is introduced in the fiber ring cavity configuration. To demonstrate the feasibility of an NIR swept laser source for NIRS imaging, the spectroscopic comparison of two kinds of absorbance-measuring systems a detector-type spectrometer using a white light source, and a source-type spectrometer using an NIR swept laser is successfully performed with an NIR-absorbing dye.

I배열형 광다이오드인 EG&G Reticon을 사용하여 측정시간이 약 10[ms]인 광측정용 초고속 분광광도계를 제작하였다. 핵심 부품인 배열형 광다이오드의 물리적 특성인 화소의 균일성, 선형성, 분광감응도를 측정하였다. 화소의 균일성과 선형성은 각각 0.5[%] 이내에서 일치하였으며, 분광감응도는 400[nm]에서 900[nm]까지 표준검출기를 사용하여 구하였다. 제작된 분광광도계는 2[nm]의 대역폭으로 측정이 가능하며 측정불확도는 2[%] 정도였다. 성능평가를 위해 미표준국의 표준기준물인 2009 didymium 필터와 수은 선광원을 측정한 결과 양호한 값을 얻었다.

Image fusion techniques are widely used to integrate a lower spatial resolution multispectral image with a higher spatial resolution panchromatic image. However, the existing techniques either cannot avoid distorting the image spectral properties or involve complicated and time-consuming decomposition and reconstruction processing in the case of wavelet transform-based fusion. In this study a simple spectral preserve fusion technique: the Smoothing Filter-based Replacement(SFR) is proposed based on a simplified solar radiation and land surface reflection model. By using a ratio between a higher resolution image and its low pass filtered (with a smoothing filter) image, spatial details can be injected to a co-registered lower resolution multispectral image minimizing its spectral properties and contrast. The technique can be applied to improve spatial resolution for either colour composites or individual bands. The fidelity to spectral property and the spatial quality of SFM are convincingly demonstrated by an image fusion experiment using IKONOS panchromatic and multispectral images. The visual evaluation and statistical analysis compared with other image fusion techniques confirmed that SFR is a better fusion technique for preserving spectral information.

2022년부터 가동되는 거대 마젤란 망원경(GMT)은 1시간 노출로 I 필터 24등급 이상의 어두운 천체도 관측할 수 있을 것으로 예상되며, 이 경우 10초 지름의 시계 안에 3천 개 이상의 관측 가능한 천체가 존재하게 된다. 따라서 GMT를 가장 효율적으로 사용하는 방법은 은하와 항성에 대한 광시야 분광 탐사를 수행하는 것이다. 이를 위해서는 한 번에 여러 곳에 존재하는 수천 개의 천체를 동시에 분광할 수 있는 광섬유 다천체 분광기기가 필요하지만, 현재까지 제안된 GMT의 1세대 기기 중에서는 이를 동시에 만족하는 기기가 없다. 본 발표에서는 가시광선 영역의 분광기 13대를 연결하여 2천 개의 천체를 동시에 분광하는 기기의 개념 설계를 제안하고, 현재 논의되고 있는 다른 다천체 분광기기 디자인과의 비교를 수행한다.
