A wide field-of-view (FOV) image contains more visual information than a conventional image. This study proposes a new type of hyperbolic mirror for wide FOV image acquisition. The proposed mirror consists of a hyperbolic cylindrical section and a bowl-shaped hyperbolic omnidirectional section. Using an imaging system with this mirror, it is possible to achieve a $213.8^{\circ}$ horizontal and a $126.94^{\circ}$ vertical maximum FOV. Parameters of each section of the mirror are designed to be continuous at the junction of the two parts, and the resultant image is seamless. The image-acquisition model is obtained using ray-tracing optics. To rectify the geometrical distortion of the original image due to the mirror, an image-restoration algorithm based on conformal projection is presented in this study. The performance of the proposed imaging system with the hyperbolic mirror and its image-restoration algorithm are verified by experiments.

We present a new design approach and an example design for an image-space telecentric two-mirror system that has a fast f-number and a wide-field line image. The initial design of the telecentric mirror system is a conventional axially symmetric system, consisting of a flat primary mirror with fourth-order aspheric deformation and an oblate ellipsoidal secondary mirror to correct spherical aberration, coma, and field curvature. Even though in the optimized design the primary mirror is tilted, to avoid ray obstruction by the secondary mirror, the image-space telecentric two-mirror system shows quite good imaging performance, for a line imager.

Wide FOV imaging systems are important for acquiring rich visual information. A conventional catadioptric imaging system deploys a camera in front of a curved mirror to acquire a wide FOV image. This is a cumbersome setup and causes unnecessary occlusions in the acquired image. In order to reduce both the burden of the camera deployment and the occlusions in the images, this study uses a secondary planar mirror in the catadioptric imaging system. A compact design of the catadioptric imaging system and a condition for the position of the secondary planar mirror to satisfy the central imaging are presented. The image acquisition model of the catadioptric imaging system with a secondary planar mirror is discussed based on the principles of geometric optics in this study. As a backward mapping, the acquired image is restored to a distortion-free image in the experiments.

An off-axis integral floating system using a concave mirror is analyzed to resolve the image distortion incurred by the off-axis optical arrangement. The concave mirror can be adopted as the floating device to improve the optical efficiency. The image distortion due to the tilting axis of the concave mirror needs to be analyzed precisely to generate the pre-distortion image. In this paper, we calculate the image deformation in the off-axis structure of the concave mirror using the geometrical optics. Using the calculation results, the compensated elemental image can be generated for the pre-distortion integrated image, which can be projected to the floating 3D image without image distortion. The basic experiments of the off-axis integral floating are presented to prove and verify the proposal.

In order to contain as much information as possible in a single image, a wide FOV(Field-Of-View) imaging system is required. The catadioptric imaging system with hyperbolic cylinder mirror can acquire over 180 degree horizontal FOV realtime panorama image by using a conventional camera. Because the hyperbolic cylinder mirror has a curved surface in horizontal axis, the original image acquired from the imaging system has the geometrical distortion, which requires the image processing algorithm for reconstruction. In this paper, the image reconstruction algorithms for two cases are studied: (1) to obtain an image with uniform angular resolution and (2) to obtain horizontally rectilinear image. The image acquisition model of the hyperbolic cylinder mirror imaging system is analyzed by the geometrical optics and the image reconstruction algorithms are proposed based on the image acquisition model. To show the validity of the proposed algorithms, experiments are carried out and presented in this paper. The experimental results show that the reconstructed images have a uniform angular resolution and a rectilinear form in horizontal axis, which are natural to human.

Theoretical analysis of the depth measurement system with the use of a single camera and a rotating mirror has been done. A camera in front of a rotating mirror acquires a sequence of reflected images, from which depth information is extracted. For an object point at a longer distance, the corresponding pixel in the sequence of images moves at a higher speed. Depth measurement based on such pixel movement is investigated. Since the mirror rotates along an axis that is in parallel with the vertical axis of the image plane, the image of an object will only move horizontally. This eases the task of finding corresponding image points. In this paper, the principle of the depth measurement-based on the relation of the pixel movement speed and the depth of objects have been investigated. Also, necessary mathematics to implement the technique is derived and presented. The factors affecting the measurement precision have been studied. Analysis shows that the measurement error increases with the increase of depth. The rotational angle of the mirror between two image-takings also affects the measurement precision. Experimental results using the real camera-mirror setup are reported.

This paper described an off-axis five-mirror-anastigmatic telescope. It is composed of three aspheric surfaces and one spherical surface while the third mirror and fifth mirror have the same parameters at the same place. This configuration is useful for having wide field of view. The strip full field of view for the near infrared telescope is $20^{\circ}{\times}0.2^{\circ}$. The entrance pupil is located in front of the first mirror. There is an intermediate image between the second mirror and the third mirror. The entrance pupil diameter is 100 mm and the effective focal length is 250 mm. The spectral range is $0.85-1.75{\mu}m$. The pixel pitch is $15{\mu}m$. The image quality is near the diffraction limit. Some methods were used to restrain the stray light such as a field stop near the intermediate image, the baffle, the narrow-band pass filter and a stop in front of the focal plane.

다양한 미디어 환경으로 인한 이미지의 재매개화 과정은 디미털 미디어문화 세대에게 또 한번의 거울단계를 거치게 하고 있다고 보고, 라캉의 거울단계이론과의 연관성을 고찰하는데 연구의 목적이 있다. 전통적인 매체가 인터넷으로의 재매개, 컴퓨터그래픽으로 인한 초실재적 환상의 재현으로 조성되는 가상세계와 실재세계와의 혼돈, 가상적 이민지가 선망의 대상으로 부각되며 실제적 이미지를 변화시키는 동일시 현상 등은 다양해지는 영상미디어의 상호 연계로 인한 재매개 기능으로 유발되는 것이다. 주체와 이상화된 자아만의 관계인 2자적 관계에서 발생하는 타인이 배제된 '나르시스적' 동일성은 새로운 자기표현을 찾는데 능숙한 마니아 문화를 형성한다. 능동적인 마니아문화의 '자기반영 성'(Reflexivity)은 현대 미디어 문화의 특징이 될 수 있는 것이다. 그러나 디지털 미디어문화 세대가 자기 반영에 사로잡혀 타인이 배제된 나르시스즘에서 벗어나지 못한 채 이미지 은하계에서 소모적인 재미에 빠져 길을 잃는다면, 이러한 세대는 새로운 인간형으로 성장하지 못할 수도 있다. 이에 따라 거울단계와 연관된 '영상 리터러씨'(Visual Literacy)교육에 대한 체계적 연구를 필요케 한다.

This study proposes an effective visualization method for image distortion in high-resolution, machinable Fresnel mirrors, which offer significant advantages over traditional convex mirrors by being thinner and lighter. While commercial optical design programs are excellent at optimizing aberrations, they have some limitations in visualizing images from complex optical configurations. Therefore, NX^TM CAD software is employed to achieve photorealistic ray-traced visualization with high-fidelity image rendering due to its flexible two-dimensional and three-dimensional modeling environments. In comparative simulations with various mirror profiles, we identified an aspherical Fresnel mirror with a conic constant of k = -3 that can reduce distortion to 1.79%, according to Zemax OpticStudio^® calculations. Finally, the NX^TM software successfully validated the distortion image of our machinable aspherical Fresnel mirror design. Subsequent practical experiments validated the consistency between the predicted distortion and the actual visualization results. We anticipate that this specialized visualization technique holds the potential to radically transform the interactive design of optical systems that incorporate aspherical Fresnel mirrors.
