We propose a near- field scanning optical interferometer (NSOI) based on the facet reflection of a nano-sized moveable tapered optical fiber. The interferometer can measure the position and the wave-front of a focused spot simultaneously. The interfering fringes are generated by the reflected beams from the sample surface and from the fiber facet. The wave-front analysis at the focusing position is obtained by using a phase shifting technique with a four-step algorithm. It is found that the resolution for controlling the focal position of our proposed NSOI is less than λ/3 and the measured wave-front aberration at the focal position is in good agreement with the ones obtained by a Twyman-Green interferometer.

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.

Iris recognition is that identifies a user based on the unique iris texture patterns which has the functionalities of dilating or contracting pupil region. Iris recognition systems extract the iris pattern in iris image captured by iris recognition camera. Therefore performance of iris recognition is affected by the quality of iris image which includes iris pattern. If iris image is blurred, iris pattern is transformed. It causes FRR(False Rejection Error) to be increased. Optical defocusing is the main factor to make blurred iris images. In conventional iris recognition camera, they use two kinds of focusing methods such as lilted and auto-focusing method. In case of fixed focusing method, the users should repeatedly align their eyes in DOF(Depth of Field), while the iris recognition system acquires good focused is image. Therefore it can give much inconvenience to the users. In case of auto-focusing method, the iris recognition camera moves focus lens with auto-focusing algorithm for capturing the best focused image. However, that needs additional H/W equipment such as distance measuring sensor between users and camera lens, and motor to move focus lens. Therefore the size and cost of iris recognition camera are increased and this kind of camera cannot be used for small sized mobile device. To overcome those problems, we propose method to increase DOF by iris image restoration algorithm based on focus value of iris image. When we tested our proposed algorithm with BM-ET100 made by Panasonic, we could increase operation range from 48-53cm to 46-56cm.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to compare and analyze the wearing status of refractive error correction devices of elders who reside in a city or in a small town district. Methods: Each of opticians from a small town or a city was selected for the study of wearing status of presbyopia correction device for each residential district in units of percentage. with the analysis of the age and gender distributions of the elders, numbers of elderly members, and the kinds of presbyopia correction. Results: The wearing rate of progressive lens was reduced in reverse proportion to the increase of the age for the people of presbyopia in a twon. Pepople in 60s living in a town perferred to wearing bifocal lens, but people of 50~60s preferred to single vision lenses. However, none of people living in a city who is diagnosed as presbyopia had refractive error correction device, and no one used bifical lenses. The progressive lens was mostly used in the people of 40~50s and using rate of those lenses reduced with the age; and single vision lens had the highest rate of in the 40~50s but no one wore it in the 70s. Conclusions: Among the refractive error correction devices, the progressive lens was most widely worn by presbyopia group who is living in a town or a city. In particular, the refractive error correction devices were most preferred in 40~50s of early presbyopia. The highest preference for the progressive lens in the people with the early presbyopia indicates that the wearing rate of the progressive will be increased in future. Therefore, the opportunity of systematic education on the progressive lens should be increased.

The passive ranging estimation techniques using a focused beamformer have been studied under the water. It is well known that the passive ranging estimation method using a focused beamformer is excellently evaluated. Among these, the passive ranging sonar is known to have a good performance under low signal-to-noise. ratio. However, its performance is degraded in multi-source environments. In this paper, we proposed the technique using dual focused beamformers to estimate the range. And when the sampling frequency is low, it is very difficult to steer the focused beam to the desired direction, as a result of this, the low performance occurs because of a distorted beam pattern. In this paper, we study the effect of sampling rate on passive ranging by using focused beamformer. And we verified the performance of the proposed method via computer simulation.

Optical microscopes integrated with CCD cameras are widely used for automatic inspection of precision circuit patterns fabricated on glass masks and silicon wafers. For this application it is important to position the object always is focus so that the image appears in good quality while the microscope scans the object. However, as the magnification of the microscope is taken large for fine resolution the depth of focus becomes small, often in submicron ranges, requiring special care in focusing. This study proposes a new auto-focusing method, which can be readily incorporated in existing optical configuration of microscope. This method is based on optical triangulation using a separate beam of laser and two photodiodes, eliminating focus errors caused by surface roughness and waviness. Experimental results prove that the method can produce focus error signals which are very sensitive with a resolution of 5 nm within 0.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ accuracy.

Recently studies on application development and utilization using sensors and devices embedded in smartphones have flourished at home and abroad. This study aimed to analyze the accuracy of the images of smartphone to determine three-dimension position of close objects prior to the development of photogrammetric system applying smartphone and evaluate the feasibility to use. First of all, camera calibration was conducted on autofocus and infinite focus. Regarding camera calibration distortion model with balance system and unbalance system was used for the decision of lens distortion coefficient, the results of calibration on 16 types of projects showed that all cases were in RMS error by less than 1 mm from bundle adjustment. Also in terms of autofocus and infinite focus on S and S2 model, the pattern of distorted curve was almost the same, so it could be judged that change in distortion pattern according to focus mode is very little. The result comparison according to autofocus and infinite focus and the result comparison according to a software used for multi-image processing showed that all cases were in standard deviation less than ${\pm}3$ mm. It is judged that there is little result difference between focus mode and determination of three-dimension position by distortion model. Lastly the checkpoint performance by total station was fixed as most probable value and the checkpoint performance determined by each project was fixed as observed value to calculate statistics on residual of individual methods. The result showed that all projects had relatively large errors in the direction of Y, the direction of object distance compared to the direction of X and Z. Like above, in terms of accuracy for determination of three-dimension position for a close object, the feasibility to use smartphone camera would be enough.

본 연구에서는 미국 맥도날드 천문대 (Mcdonald Observatory)에 있는 82인치 Otto Struve 망원경의 가이드 망원경으로 사용하기 위해 2개의 반사경을 이용해 구경이 100 mm이고 유효초점거리가 800 mm인 비축 반사망원경을 설계하였다. 비축 반사경은 일반적인 축 대칭인 반사경보다 가공이 매우 어렵기 때문에 형상 정밀도의 요구량을 알 수 있다면 비축 반사경을 가공하는 과정에서 시간과 비용을 절약할 수 있다. 광학계가 수차가 잘 보정된 회절한계의 성능이기 때문에 엔서클드 에너지 직경(Encircled Energy Diameter) 분석을 통해 민감도 분석을 하였다. 광학설계 소프트웨어인 CodeV를 사용하여 80 % 에너지가 $20{\mu}m$ 내에 들도록 공차한계로 설정하였으며, 기준 파장은 $587.56{\mu}m$이다. 또한 부경과 초점 면 사이의 거리를 보상자로 설정하여 공차가 광학계의 성능에 미치는 영향을 최소화하였다. 민감도 분석은 반사경의 위치, 회전, 그리고 반사경의 형상 정밀도에 대해 수행하였다. 분석 결과, 반사경의 위치와 각도는 일반적인 제작 및 조립 공차보다 매우 작은 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 형상정밀도는 주경이 부경보다 민감하였으며 자승 제곱 평균제곱근 (root-mean-square) 32 nm로 가장 민감한 결과가 나왔다.

This paper investigates the information related to the radiated sounds during treatment using the extracorporeal shock wave lothotriptor(ESWL). First, we observe the vibration of the objects from the radiated sounds and extract the information about the change of the peak frequency from the relation between the vibration and the radiated sounds. Next, we observe the change of the peak frequency according to the position of the focus and demonstrate that it is more difficult to vibrate objects exactly at the focal point than above or below the focus of the ESWL device. Lastly, we analyze the relation between the cavitation and the radiated sounds and examine the benefiting condition for the object fragmentation.
