Space telescope optics is one of the major parts of any space mission used to observe astronomical targets or the Earth. This kind of space mission typically involves bulky and complex opto-mechanics with a long optical tube, but attempts have been made to observe a target with a small satellite. In this paper, we describe the optical design of a reflecting telescope for use in a CubeSat mission. For this design we adopt the off-axis segmented method for astronomical observation techniques based on a Ritchey-Chr$\acute{e}$tien type telescope. The primary mirror shape is a rectangle with dimensions of $8cm{\times}8cm$, and the secondary mirror has dimensions of $2.4cm{\times}4.1cm$. The focal ratio is 3 which can yield a 0.383 degree diagonal angle in a $1280{\times}800$ CMOS color image sensor with a pixel size of $3{\mu}m{\times}3{\mu}m$. This optical design can capture a ${\sim}4km{\times}{\sim}2.3km$ area of the earth's surface at 700 km altitude operation.

This study presents a color 3D scanner based on the laser structured-light imaging method that can simultaneously acquire 3D shape data and color of a target object using a single camera. The 3D data acquisition of the scanner is based on the structured-light imaging method, and the color data is obtained from a natural color image. Because both the laser image and the color image are acquired by the same camera, it is efficient to obtain the 3D data and the color data of a pixel by avoiding the complicated correspondence algorithm. In addition to the 3D data, the color data is helpful for enhancing the realism of an object model. The proposed scanner consists of two line lasers, a color camera, and a rotation table. The line lasers are deployed at either side of the camera to eliminate shadow areas of a target object. This study addresses the calibration methods for the parameters of the camera, the plane equations covered by the line lasers, and the center of the rotation table. Experimental results demonstrate the performance in terms of accurate color and 3D data acquisition in this study.

This study develops a new device system for measuring a slope of object with non-adhesive, non-contact and non-face-to-face, namely Inclinometer Slope Laser Measuring (ISLM), that is applicable in the field. This system includes cradle, laser, camera, and computer and the filming and is performed after laser projection at programmed intervals. After measuring the amount of displacement converted to numerical values, these values can then be transferred to the office using the selected data transmission method. The obtained results from the test carried out to verify the reliability of the ISLM system indicated that the ISLM system can measure with accurately level of 0.1mm/Pixel at 1m distance and when increasing the camera resolution, the precision might increase proportionally. Therefore, the proposed measure system may widely apply on-site for various constructions, especially, in the case of object with very high surface temperature where exhibits difficulty to directly measure the adjacent structures. However, due to the sensitive reaction to the illuminance, this method can be applied with caution at times of large changes in illuminance, such as at dawn and at dusk.

Purpose: We subjected scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images of the active layer of EBT3 film to texture analysis to determine the dose-response curve. Methods: Uncoated Gafchromic EBT3 films were prepared for direct surface SEM scanning. Absorbed doses of 0-20 Gy were delivered to the film's surface using a 6 MV TrueBeam STx photon beam. The film's surface was scanned using a SEM under 100× and 3,000× magnification. Four textural features (Homogeneity, Correlation, Contrast, and Energy) were calculated based on the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) using the SEM images corresponding to each dose. We used R-square to evaluate the linear relationship between delivered doses and textural features of the film's surface. Results: Correlation resulted in higher linearity and dose-response curve sensitivity than Homogeneity, Contrast, or Energy. The R-square value was 0.964 for correlation using 3,000× magnified SEM images with 9-pixel offsets. Dose verification was used to determine the difference between the prescribed and measured doses for 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 Gy as 0.09, 1.96, -2.29, 0.17, and 0.08 Gy, respectively. Conclusions: Texture analysis can be used to accurately convert microscopic structural changes to the EBT3 film's surface into absorbed doses. Our proposed method is feasible and may improve the accuracy of film dosimetry used to protect patients from excess radiation exposure.

We analyze the spatially resolved kinematics of gas and stars for a sample of ten hidden type 1 AGNs in order to investigate the nature of their central sources and the scaling relation with host galaxy stellar velocity dispersion. We select our sample from a large number of hidden type 1 AGNs, which are identified based on the presence of a broad (full width at half maximum ≳1000 km s^-1) component in the Hα line profile and which are frequently mis-classified as type 2 AGNs because AGN continuum and broad emission lines are weak or obscured in the optical spectral range. We used the Blue Channel Spectrograph at the 6.5-m Multiple Mirror Telescope to obtain long-slit data with a spatial scale of 0.3 arcsec pixel^-1. We detected broad Hβ lines for only two targets; however, the presence of strong broad Hα lines indicates that the AGNs we selected are all low-luminosity type 1 AGNs. We measured the velocity, velocity dispersion, and flux of stellar continuum and gas emission lines (i.e., Hβ and [O III]) as a function of distance from the center. The spatially resolved gas kinematics traced by Hβ or [O III] are generally similar to the stellar kinematics except for the inner center, where signatures of gas outflows are detected. We compare the luminosity-weighted effective stellar velocity dispersions with the black hole masses and find that our hidden type 1 AGNs, which have relatively low back hole masses, follow the same scaling relation as reverberation-mapped type 1 AGN and more massive inactive galaxies.

본 논문에서는 원근 와핑 보정을 이용한 선광원 레이저 거리 검출 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 카메라와 선광원의 선형성의 왜곡이 있을 경우에도 정확도를 높일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 먼저 보정 패널에 표시된 수직이면서 병렬로 배치된 보정점과 투사된 선광원 레이저의 중심 위치를 검출한다. 얻어진 선광원 레이저의 중심위치는 원근 와핑을 이용하여 가까이 있는 보정점들로부터 실제 좌표를 계산함으로써 보정 데이터를 구하고, 동일한 과정을 보정패널을 이동하면서 반복함으로써 보정 파일을 작성한다. 거리데이터 검출은 입력된 선광원 레이저 영상으로부터 중심위치를 구하고, 보정 파일에서 가장 가까운 보정 데이터를 찾아서 선형 보간으로 검출한다. 실험에서는 제안한 선광원 레이저 거리 검출 방법은 비선형적인 광학계에도 불구하고 130mm 깊이 범위에서 0.08mm 내의 오차로 거리 측정이 가능함을 보인다.

Accurate localization of radioactive materials is crucial in homeland security and radiological emergencies. Coded-aperture gamma camera is an interesting solution for such applications and can be developed into portable real-time imaging devices. However, traditional reconstruction methods cannot effectively deal with signal-independent noise, thereby hindering low-noise real-time imaging. In this study, a novel reconstruction method with excellent noise-suppression capability based on a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) is proposed. A coded-aperture gamma camera based on pixel detector and coded-aperture mask was constructed, and the process of radioactive source imaging was simulated. Results showed that the MLP method performs better in noise suppression than the traditional correlation analysis method. When the Co-57 source with an activity of 1 MBq was at 289 different positions within the field of view which correspond to 289 different pixels in the reconstructed image, the average contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) obtained by the MLP method was 21.82, whereas that obtained by the correlation analysis method was 5.85. The variance in CNR of the MLP method is larger than that of correlation analysis, which means the MLP method has some instability in certain conditions.

본 논문에서는 영상의 기하학 정보를 이용하여 기저 평면에서 움직이는 객체의 높이를 자동으로 측정하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 알고리즘은 설정된 위치에서 이동하는 객체의 높이를 각 프레임 마다 사용자 입력을 통해 측정하여 실시간에 이용할 수 없는 문제점이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해, 입력 영상에서 움직임 객체의 영역을 추출하여 객체의 높이를 자동으로 측정한다. 입력 영상에서 픽셀 정보와 시간적인 정보를 이용하여 움직임 객체를 추출하고 반복적인 계산을 통해 실제와 근소한 객체의 바닥점과 높이점을 추출한다 이 두 점 사이의 높이 계산은 기하학정보인 소실점(Vanishing point), 소실선(Vanishing line)과의 계산을 통해 이루어진다. 측정된 높이는 신뢰도 평가를 통해 모의실험에서 실제 높이와 유사한 결과를 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 의료영상의 특성을 반영하여 픽셀 그래디언트의 방향 값을 특징으로 하는 OCS-LBP (Oriented Center Symmetric Local Binary Patterns) 특징을 개발하고 BoF(Bag-of-Feature)와 Random Forest 분류기를 이용한 영상 검색 방법을 제안한다. 학습영상에서 추출된 특징 값은 code book 으로 군집화 되고, 각 영상들은 code book을 통해 의미 있는 새로운 차원인 BoF특징으로 변환된다. 이렇게 추출된 BoF특징은 Random Forest 분류기에 적용되고 학습된 분류기에 의해 유사한 특성을 갖는 N개의 클래스별로 분류되게 된다. 질의 영상이 입력되면 동일한 OCS-LBP특징이 추출되고 code book을 통해 BoF특징이 추출된다. 전통적인 내용기반 영상검색과는 다르게, 본 논문에서는 질의 영상에서 추출된 BoF특징이 학습된 Random Forest에 적용되어 가장 유사한 K-근접 이웃 (K-nearest neighbor) 클래스들을 선택하고 선택된 클래스들에 포함된 영상들에 대해서만 질의 영상과의 BoF 유사도 측정을 통해 최종 유사한 영상을 검색하게 된다. 실험결과에서 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 빠르고 우수한 검색 성능을 보여 주었다.
