In this paper, we suggest three-dimensional information extraction map system using integral imaging technique. Integral imaging can record multiple elemental images with different perspectives using a 2D image acquisition device with lenslet array. Using these images, integral imaging can obtain 3D information and display 3D image. In this paper, the position difference between elemental images can be obtained using summation of absolute difference (SAD), and then 3D information can be extracted. Therefore, this technique can find the height information of 3D objects.

The integral imaging system is an auto-stereoscopic display that allows users to see 3D images without wearing special glasses. In the integral imaging system, the 3D object information is taken from several view points and stored as elemental images. Then, users can see a 3D reconstructed image by the elemental images displayed through a lens array. The elemental images can be created by computer graphics, which is referred to the computer-generated integral imaging. The process of creating the elemental images is called image mapping. There are some image mapping methods proposed in the past, such as PRR(Point Retracing Rendering), MVR(Multi-Viewpoint Rendering) and PGR(Parallel Group Rendering). However, they have problems with heavy rendering computations or performance barrier as the number of elemental lenses in the lens array increases. Thus, it is difficult to use them in real-time graphics applications, such as virtual reality or real-time, interactive games. In this paper, we propose a new image mapping method named VVR(Viewpoint Vector Rendering) that improves real-time rendering performance. This paper describes the concept of VVR first and the performance comparison of image mapping process with previous methods. Then, it discusses possible directions for the future improvements.

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.

A high-voltage highly-integrated analog front-end (AFE) IC for medical ultrasound imaging applications is implemented using standard 0.18-${\mu}m$ CMOS process. The proposed AFE IC is composed of a high-voltage (HV) pulser utilizing stacked transistors generating up to 15 Vp-p pulses at 2.6 MHz, a low-voltage low-noise transimpedance preamplifier, and a HV switch for isolation between the transmit and receive parts. The designed IC consumes less than $0.15mm^2$ of core area, making it feasible to be applied for multi-array medical ultrasound imaging systems, including portable handheld applications.

In this paper, we propose a depth conversion method for orthoscopic real image reconstruction in integral imaging. Pseudoscopic image has been regarded a problem in conventional integral imaging. the depth of reconstructed image is depending on a coordinate of an elemental image. The conversion from pseudoscopic to orthoscopic may be possible by analysing the geometrical relation between pickup and reconstruction system of elemental image. The feasibility of the proposed method has been confirmed through preliminary experiments as well as ray optical analysis.

In this paper, we present a depth extraction method of integral imaging using correlation between elemental images with phase only filter. Integral imaging is a passive three-dimensional (3D) imaging system records ray information of 3D objects through lenslet array by 2D image sensor, and displays 3D images by using the similar lenslet array. 2D images by lenslet array have different perspectives. These images are referred to as elemental images. Since the correlation can be calculated between elemental images, the depth information of 3D objects can be extracted. To obtain high correaltion between elemental images effectively, in this paper, we use phase only filter. Using this high correlation, the corresponding pixels between elemental images can be found so that depth information can be extracted by computational reconstruction technique. In this paper, to prove our method, we carry out optical experiment and calculate Peak Sidelobe Ratio (PSR) as a correlation metric.

3D integral imaging technique with an active mask is capable of displaying real 3D images with high resolution in space. In this paper, we present a novel 3D/2D convertible integral imaging display system using an active mask. For the proposed method, the principles of 3D, 2D, and 3D/2D composed operations are explained according to the displayed images through two LCD panels. In 3D mode, the elemental images and the mask images are displayed in two display panels. On the other hand, the light source image and 2D image are displayed in 2D mode. In addition, 3D/2D mode is obtained using the spatial separation for 3D and 2D modes. To show the feasibility of the proposed method, we carry out the preliminary experiments and present the optical results.

현대의 스마트폰 및 태블릿pc등을 가능하게 만든 집적 기술 중의 하나는 3차원 집적 회로(3D-IC)와 같은 패키징 기술이다. 이러한 첨단 3차원 집적 기술은 메모리집적을 통한 대용량 메모리 모듈 개발뿐만 아니라, 메모리와 프로세서의 집적, high-end FPGA, Back side imaging (BSI) 센서 모듈, MEMS 센서와 ASIC 집적, High Bright (HB) LED 모듈 등에 적용되고 있다. 3D-IC의 3차원 모듈 제작 시에는 기존에 발생하지 않았던 여러 가지 파괴 모드들이 발생하고 있는데 Thermal/Photonic Emission 장비 등 기존의 2차원 결함분리 (Fault Isolation) 기술로는 첨단의 3차원 적층 제품들에서 발생하는 불량을 비파괴적으로 혹은 3차원적으로 분리하는 것이 불가능하므로, 비파괴 3차원 결함 분리 기술은 향후 선행 제품 적기 개발에 매우 필수적인 기술이다. 본 연구는 3D-IC 반도체의 비파괴적 내부결함 검사를 위하여 가시광선-근적외선 대역(351nm~1770nm)의 InGaAs (Indium Galium Arsenide) 계열 영상검출기 (imaging detector)를 사용하여 분광 시스템 광학 설계를 통한 초분광 영상 기반 검출 모듈을 제작하였다. 제작된 초분광 영상 기반 검출 모듈을 이용하여 구리 회로 위에 실리콘 웨이퍼가 3단 적층 된 반도체 더미 샘플의 초분광 영상을 촬영하였으며, 촬영된 초분광 영상에 대하여 Chemometrics model 기반의 분석기술을 적용하여 실리콘 웨이퍼 내부의 집적 구조에 대한 검사가 가능함을 확인하였다.
