The objective of the present study is to visualize the pulsatile flow fields by using three-dimensional computer simulation and the PIV system. A closed flow loop system was built for the steady and unsteady experiments. The Harvard pulsatile pump was used to generate the pulsatile pressure and velocity waveforms. Conifer powder as the tracing particles was added to water to visualize the flow field. Two consecutive particle images were captured by a CCO camera for the image processing at several cross section. The range validation and the area interpolation methods were used to obtain the final velocity vectors with high accuracy. The finite volume predictions were used to analyze three-dimensional flow patterns in the bifurcation model. The results of the PIV experiment and the computer simulation are in good agreement and the results show the recirculation zones and formation of the paired secondary flow distal to the apex of the bifurcated model. The results also show that the branch flow is pushed strongly to the inner wall due to the inertial force effect and helical motions are generated as the flow proceeds toward the outer wall.

변이영상은 두 스테레오 영상의 시차에 의해 발생하는 각 화소의 변위를 수록한 영상이다. 이 영상은 깊이영상을 생성하여 시점 간 가상영상을 생성하는데 사용된다. 따라서 변이영상은 다시점 비디오 서비스와 직접적인 연관이 있다. 본 논문에서는 유일성(uniqueness)제약과 순차성(ordering) 제약을 사용하여 기준영상과 참조영상 사이의 관계를 이용하여 생성한 변이 공간 영상(DSI : disparity space image)으로부터 비용 행렬을 계산하여 최적의 변이 경로를 찾아가는 다이내믹 프로그래밍을 분석 하였다. 다이내믹 프로그래밍은 정밀한 변이 맵을 얻을 수 있고, 다른 방식들에 비해 연산 속도가 빠르다는 장점을 가지고 있지만, 영상의 화소값의 변화가 없는 영역에서 이전의 경로를 계속 유지하려는 성질에 때문에 발생 하는 오류확산과 가려진 (occluded) 영역에 의한 오차로 인해 정확한 경로를 찾을 수 없는 경우가 빈번히 발생 하여 에러율이 높아지는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 이론을 토대로 기존의 기법들에 비하여 정확도가 우수한 기법들을 제안하였다. 개선된 역 추적 과정을 이용하여 기존의 다이내믹 프로그래밍 기반의 스테레오 정합 기법들보다 우수성이 뛰어난 결과들을 나타내었다.

This paper presents a method for occluded object based motion estimation and tracking system in dynamic image sequences using particle filter with 3D reconstruction. A unique characteristic of this study is its ability to cope with partial occlusion based continuous motion estimation using particle filter inspired from the mirror neuron system in human brain. To update a prior knowledge about the shape or motion of objects, firstly, fundamental 3D reconstruction based occlusion tracing method is applied and object landmarks are determined. And optical flow based motion vector is estimated from the movement of the landmarks. When arbitrary partial occlusions are occurred, the continuous motion of the hidden parts of object can be estimated by particle filter with optical flow. The resistance of the resulting estimation to partial occlusions enables the more accurate detection and handling of more severe occlusions.

In the combustion engineering, to decrease pollution and increase production efficiency, and to optimally keep solid burning material amount constant in a burner online, it needs a smart method to detect the amount variation of the burning materials in a high temperature environment. This paper presents an online machine vision system for automatically measuring and detecting the burning material amount inside a burner or a boiler. In the camera-protecting box of the system, a sub-system for cooling is constructed by using the cooling water circulation techqique. In addition, the key and intelligent step in the system is to detect the pile profile of the variable burning material, and the algorithm for the pile profile tracing was studied based on the combination of the gey level (color) discontinuity and similarity based image segmentation methods, the discontinuity based sub-algorithm is made on the quaternion convolution, and the similarity based sub-algorithm is designed according to the region growing with multi-scale clustering. The results of the two sub-algoritms are fused to delineate the final pile profile, and the algorithm has been tested and applied in different industrial burners and boilers. The experiements show that the proposed algorithm works satisfactorily.

We develop a proto-model of an off-axis reflective telescope for infrared wide-field observations based on the design of Schwarzschild-Chang type telescope. With only two mirrors, this design achieves an entrance pupil diameter of 50 mm and an effective focal length of 100 mm. We can apply this design to a mid-infrared telescope with a field of view of $8^{\circ}{\times}8^{\circ}$. In spite of the substantial advantages of off-axis telescopes in the infrared compared to refractive or on-axis reflective telescopes, it is known to be difficult to align the mirrors in off-axis systems because of their asymmetric structures. Off-axis mirrors of our telescope are manufactured at the Korea Basic Science Institute (KBSI). We analyze the fabricated mirror surfaces by fitting polynomial functions to the measured data. We accomplish alignment of this two-mirror off-axis system using a ray tracing method. A simple imaging test is performed to compare a pinhole image with a simulated prediction.

The objective of the present study was to visualize the pulsatile flow field in a branching model by using the high-resolution PIV system. A bifurcated flow system was built for the experiments in the pulsatile flow. Harvard pulsatile pump was used to generate the pulsatile velocity waveforms. Conifer powder as the tracing particles was added to water to visualize the flow fields. Two consecutive particle images at several cross sections of the flow filed were captured by the CCD cameras ($1K{\ast}1K$ and $640{\ast}480$). The results after the image processing clearly showed the recirculation zones and the formation of the paired secondary flows from the distal to the apex in the bifurcated model. The results also indicated that the flow velocities in the inner wall moved faster than those in the outer wall due to the inertial force effects and the helical motions generated in the branch flows as the flow proceeded toward the outer wall. While the PIV images from the $1K{\ast}1K$ camera were closer to the simulation results thantheimagesfromthe640${\ast}$480camera,bothresultsofthePIVexperimentsusingthetwocamerasgenerallyagreed quitewellwiththeresultsfromthenumericalsimulation.

The design of a telecentric f-${\theta}$ lens with a field of view (FOV) $30^{\circ}$ and an effective focal length of 1000mm is presented. The optical stop is placed at the front plane and the design is based on a geometric ray tracing technique, and the designed system consists of a series of convex and concave lenses. The designed f-${\theta}$ lens showed a considerable reduction in weight with a simplified structure and resulted in a good performance in the designated FOV. Detail analysis of rays is also presented. 653nm (red laser), 586nm (green laser), and 468nm (blue laser) were simulated as a light source and image illuminating source. The developed optical design requires 7 pieces of lenses made of SF1, N-FK56, N-LAK33, and BK7 glass materials. With optimal parametric design, the effective focal length was calculated to be 974.839mm which is very close to the initial design target. For the manufacturing purpose, the dimensions of lens curvature and thickness were truncated with error ranging 0.1% to 3.2%. As a result, the overall error was calculated to be 3.2% which can be still tolerable for display, laser material, and machining processing.

Textile scientists have regarded the material appearance of natural fibers, especially that of silk or wool fibers, as the benchmark for reinventing the look and feel of the long term, friendly companion of mankind. The appearances or textures of the materials surrounding us in everyday life have long been interesting topics to many people.from scholars to painters. Even the simplest questions may require careful pondering. Why is the silk fabric so lustrous with subtlety? Recently, appearance models have become increasingly important in textile products. They are needed to model and simulate different models. In this study, the optical characteristics of filament yarns and knitted fabrics were investigated using images taken at various angles and illumination conditions. Then the images were analyzed using some image analysis techniques, such as thresholding and measuring luster blobs. The anisotropic nature of the filamentous specimens was studied based on the images acquired at different incident illumination and observing angles with several alignment positions of the fabric specimens. A few cylindrical models were generated using commercially available software, Rhinoceros, and then on the models, a ray-tracing algorithm based on a software, POV-Ray, was applied to simulate the appearance or lustrous images of the monofilament models.
