We propose a biometrical information security method based on Optical Visual Cryptography in that a fingerprint data is processed by Secret Sharing method taking into account the Optical Visual Cryptography and a part of shared data transmitted through an open network. Whenever necessary the owner or the fingerprint can be authenticated by submitting his fingerprint with the other shared information.

물체가 지닌 3차원 정보를 가장 완벽하게 복원해 내는 디스플레이 기술인 홀로그램은 오랜 기간 사진과 같은 형태의 정지상 영상으로만 재현이 되었으나, 최근 급격하게 발전한 5G 수준의 데이터 통신기술과 초고해상도 디스플레이 기술의 발달로 동영상 재생이 가능한 수준에 다다르고 있다. 디지털 홀로그램 기술을 통해 만들어진 computer generated hologram 패턴을 실제 광학적으로 송출해 내는 디스플레이 장치라 할 수 있는 Spatial Light Modulator(SLM)은 최근 LCoS, DMD 등 다양한 방식으로 구현되고 있으나, 아직까지 구동 면적의 크기 및 픽셀 간격의 측면에서 아날로그 홀로그램과 비슷한 수준의 영상을 구현하기에는 다소 어려움이 있는 것이 사실이다. 이에 본 고에서는 다양한 방식으로 접근되고 있는 기존 SLM의 성능 분석 및 차세대 SLM 기술 동향을 소개하고 SLM의 성능 개선 없이도 홀로그램 영상의 화질 수준을 개선할 수 있는 다양한 기술들에 대해 소개하고자 한다.

A fog screen consists of tiny water drops and the viewers see the image transmitted through the fog screen. In contrast to ordinary screens, the viewers can see the actors passing through the image on the fog screen on stage. In this paper, we describe methods to build a top-down fog screen where fog particles generated in top space fall by gravity forming a flat vertical screen. We use a fog generation technique in which fog particles come out of the water surface when ultrasound vibrators immersed in water tank vibrate. We describe how fog particles form a flat screen while coming out of the fog passage tunnel, by generating guiding winds beside the fog screen. This technique utilizes the principle that fog particles are generated on the surface of a water tank by an ultrasonic vibrator placed in a water tank. The technique of forming a guiding wind on both sides of the passage exit where the fog comes out and the design and manufacturing method of the fog screen generating device are described so that the generated fog group can maintain one plane.

We improve the free-space optical interconnection efficiency by using circular aperture computer-generated hologram (CGH). In free-space optical interconnection system using CGH, the single CGH is composed of sub-CGHs, which can change the direction of input beams to desired output positions, by Fourier transform. Each sub-CGH is rectangular shape, so the input beams through each sub-CGH are transformed to sinc functions in output plane. The side lobes of each sinc function are superimposed in output plane and they result in detection error in output plane, so the detection efficiency is low. We use the circular shaped sub-CGHs in order to reduce the side lobe value in output plane instead of rectangular shaped sub-CGHs. The each input beam is transformed to first-order Bessel functions through circular shaped sub-CGHs in output plane. The side lobes of first-order Bessel functions us low values compared with side lobes of sinc function, so we can improve the detection efficiency in output plane. We use binary phase modulated CGH, and confirm this improvement results by simulation.

Holographic optical element(HOE) is fabricated with the properties of lightweight, thin thickness and interconnectivity for free space. Particularly, HOE for optical interconnection and multiple image processing should have a high efficiency and equal spot intensity, Nonlinear equations for 2-dimensional binary phase grating(BPG) structure is solved by computer simulation based on modified Newton method. Computer-generated pattern drawn by plotter is scaled down and translated into the microfilm. After contact printing between the microfilm and silver halide hologram film, phase diffraction grating produces the $5{\times}5$ multiple spots. Experimental results are shown that bleached phase grating has a high efficiency and equal focused beams except central zero order.

In this paper, we present a method to automatically quantify the three-dimensional (3D) volume of red blood cells (RBCs) using off-axis digital holographic microscopy. The RBCs digital holograms are recorded via a CCD camera using an off-axis interferometry setup. The RBCs' phase image is reconstructed from the recorded off-axis digital hologram by a computational reconstruction algorithm. The watershed segmentation algorithm is applied to the reconstructed phase image to remove background parts and obtain clear targets in the phase image with many single RBCs. After segmenting the reconstructed RBCs' phase image, all single RBCs are extracted, and the 3D volume of each single RBC is then measured with the surface area and the phase values of the corresponding RBC. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method to automatically calculate the 3D volume of RBC, two typical shapes of RBCs, i.e., stomatocyte/discocyte, are tested via experiments. Statistical distributions of 3D volume for each class of RBC are generated by using our algorithm. Statistical hypothesis testing is conducted to investigate the difference between the statistical distributions for the two typical shapes of RBCs. Our experimental results illustrate that our study opens the possibility of automated quantitative analysis of 3D volume in various types of RBCs.

In this paper, we proposed a new method to find dive parameters of an ellipse from the optical Hough transform (HT) results. The method employs the HT for detection of a straight line and the one-dimensional analysis of the resultant parameter domain. Using this algorithm, we simulated about the ellipses with different positions, and obtained the information of the ellipse with 94% accuracy in the worst case. To compare the simulation results with the experimental ones, we performed optical experiments using a HT Computer Generated Hologram (CGH) filter. Through the experiments, we showed that our results were very similar to the simulation results.

Optical visual cryptography (OVC) based on binary computer generated holograms (BCGH) is proposed. OVC used optics instead of human eyesight for decryption of visual cryptography (VC). As a result, it was possible to adapt cryptography to an optical system. However, it also had some difficulties because it did not overcome the existing problems of VC completely. This paper suggests a method of optical cryptography implementation based on the phase modulation characteristics of a liquid crystal display (LCD). The problems are evaluated by simulation. This system shows that the noise is reduced and resolution is improved compared with the conventional OVC.

In this paper we propose a hardware architecture of high-speed CGH (computer generated hologram) generation processor, which particularly reduces the number of memory access times to avoid the bottle-neck in the memory access operation. For this, we use three main schemes. The first is pixel-by-pixel calculation rather than light source-by-source calculation. The second is parallel calculation scheme extracted by modifying the previous recursive calculation scheme. The last one is a fully pipelined calculation scheme and exactly structured timing scheduling by adjusting the hardware. The proposed hardware is structured to calculate a row of a CGH in parallel and each hologram pixel in a row is calculated independently. It consists of input interface, initial parameter calculator, hologram pixel calculators, line buffer, and memory controller. The implemented hardware to calculate a row of a $1,920{\times}1,080$ CGH in parallel uses 168,960 LUTs, 153,944 registers, and 19,212 DSP blocks in an Altera FPGA environment. It can stably operate at 198MHz. Because of the three schemes, the time to access the external memory is reduced to about 1/20,000 of the previous ones at the same calculation speed.

In this paper, we propose a high-level optical encryption system, which is tolerant with noises and cropping, by encrypting the phase-encoded CGH pattern of original image with the phase-encoded Fresnel diffraction pattern of random key images. For encryption, the phase-encoded CGH pattern of original image is multiplied by conjugate components which are the phase-encoded Fresnel diffraction patterns of random key images. The original information can be reconstructed by multiplying encrypted image by phase-encoded Fresnel diffraction pattern of random key images and performing Fourier transform of the multiplication result. The proposed system is robust to noises and cropping due to characteristics of CGH pattern and can guarantee high-level encryption by using Fresnel diffraction information. We verified the validity of proposed system by computer simulations, numerical analysis of noises and cropping effect and optical experiment.
