현미경을 이용한 자동화된 검사 공정에 있어서 무엇보다 중요한 과정은 초점조절이며, 피 측정물의 선명한 현미경 영상을 얻기 위한 빠르고 신뢰도가 높은 자동초점조절 방법들은 일련의 검사공정에 있어서 필수 불가결한 요소로 자리매김 하고 있다. 일반적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 수동형 자동초점조절 방법들은 측정물체 표면의 영상대비 정보를 이용하는 방법으로 구성이 비교적 간단하지만, 최대대비 위치를 찾기 위한 주사과정이 필요하므로 시간 소요가 크고, 시편에 대한 의존도가 높다는 단점이 있다.(중략)

The passive focusing method finds the in-focus position by analyzing images captured by a camera. In this paper, we propose an efficient passive auto-focusing algorithm for video measuring systems. The sum of modified Laplacian of Gaussian is used to calculate focus values from images and Gaussian curve fitting is applied to estimate the optimal in-focus position. The Proposed method is tested for various objects and illuminations. The test result is compared with other methods to verify accuracy and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

This paper implement an Camcorder NTSC camera autofocus control system on the DSP Board. The information of camera lens control obtain the only brightness simple image processing from the NTSC camcoder camera image. The exact focus makes the exact boundaries. The camera lens control that the increase sum of the useful ingredient values. Useful value obtained experiment value. Also noise is except because a big value of the ingredients so that obtained focus more accurate value.

The optics used in an infrared imaging system has a strong refractive-index change according to temperature, so an autofocus control function is essential for a military infrared imaging system with a wide operating-temperature range. In this study, we design a triple-magnification infrared imaging system, and to compensate for the change in refractive index according to temperature we measure the change in the lens focus according to temperature. The autofocus control function was implemented by using the measured movement amount, and we could obtain an image with satisfactory resolution performance over a wide range of operating temperatures.

고배율 렌즈를 장착한 3차원 비접촉 측정 장비에서 컴퓨터 비전을 이용한 정밀도 높은 형상의 측정을 위해서는 선명한 영상 획득을 위한 정확한 초점 위치 결정이 선행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 정초점 위치를 찾기 위하여 수동형 초점 조절 방법을 사용한다. 각각의 렌즈 위치에서의 입력 영상에 대해 초점 위치 추적의 척도가 되는 초점값을 변형된 LoG 방법을 이용하여 측정하고, 측정된 초점값들의 렌즈 위치에 따른 분포 곡선에 대한 가우시안 정합을 적용한 정초점 위치 검색을 통해 최적의 초점 위치를 결정하는 기법을 제안한다.

Many researches have been performed the analysis and experiments on auto-focus lens due to the development of camera module which is used in mobile-phone recently. Various types of voice coil motor are used mostly in the view point of actuators. Various type of magnetic flux flow is made by the combination of magnet, coil and yoke, etc. And the function of auto-focus is made by the proper combination of the lens components. In this research, some of the simple and economic structure is chosen to investigate the characteristics analytically among various types of lens which are used in industries. Desired level of lens module design was achieved by electromagnetic analysis using ANSYS$^{TM}$ finite element analysis program.

In this paper, we propose methods to improve image-based auto-focus that can compensate for drawbacks of traditional auto-focus control. When adjusting the focus, there is a problem that the focus window cannot be set to the same position if the camera's LOS is not directed at the same location and flow or shake. To address this issue, we applied image tracking techniques to improve optimal focus localization accuracy. And also, although the same focus value should be calculated at the same focus step, but different values can be calculated by camera's fine shaking or image disturbance due to atmospheric scattering. To tackle this problem a SAFS (Stable Adjacency Frame Selection) has been proposed. As a result of this study, our proposed methodology shows more accurate than traditional methods in terms of finding best focus position.

자동초점이란 영상을 획득하는 시스템에서 고정된 촬상면에 자동으로 초점이 맺히도록 렌즈를 구동시키는 방식으로 컴퓨터비전과 카메라 등에서 매우 중요하게 사용된다. 소형 카메라의 경우 자동초점에서 렌즈구동부인 actuator의 기술은 대량생산이 이용이하고, 위치센서가 불필요하며, 회로구성이 용이한 VCM방식이 널리 사용되고 있으며, 구동의 안정성에 비해 크기와 소음이 큰 스테핑모터 방식, 크기는 가장 작지만 납 함유문제 및 습도 취약성을 갖는 피에조 방식이 있다. 그 외에 액체렌즈방식이 있는데, 소형 구조에 저전력의 장점이 있지만 화질 및 신뢰성 검증 그리고 고압이 필요한 특징을 가지는 구조도 있다. 본 논문에서 5Mpixel급 이미지 센서를 통해 획득한 영상의 선예도를 이용하여 VCM의 actuator처럼 액체렌지를 제어하여 자동으로 초점을 맞추는 제어방식을 구현하고 검증하였다.

Demand of Auto Focus for Camera module is increased very fast in these days and will be adapted to most of mobile phones in next few years instead of traditional method, fixed focus. To make auto focus function, 2 kinds of solutions, VCM(Voice Coil Motor) and Piezo linear motor are normally used. In this paper, VCM which commercially strong candidate for Auto focus mechanism was investigated to verify principles are match up to the actual operation. Auto focus algorithm is different between 1 chip and 2 chip solution. Normally 2 chip is more complicate than the other. To have best performance on this function, hysteresis and depth of field(DOF) table should be optimized.
