We report the operational highlights of KMTNet in the point of observing rate, image pre-processing and data reduction, observing run for each science program, and scientific publications performed in 2016. Major system upgrade has been conducted in the CCD camera and the wide field telescope optics: the post amp and readout electronics of the 18k Mosaic CCD camera at Siding Spring Observatory site has been fine tuned and the protected silver coat of the primary mirror has been replaced with the bare aluminium coat due to the degradation of reflectivity of the primary mirror surface. A plan of KMTNet observation system improvement for 2017 will be introduced in this talk.

Mirrors often appear in fashion advertisements. This study aimed to analyze meanings of the images represented in fashion advertisements using mirrors. This study analyzed the meanings of mirror image in Western art history, and also studied meanings of female representations in the paintings. Based on previous studies, this study classified mirrors' expressions in three types and analyzed their meanings. To analyze the meanings of the three types, this study researched the symbolic meanings of the mirrors in visual arts chronologically, first. And then, this study interpreted that in the context of consumption cultures and consuming ideologies in view of feminism, consumption ideology, desire theory, and fetishism. The results of this study were as follows; 1. Narcistic body expressions associated with strong and independent women, while associated submissive being overwhelmed by consumption cultures. 2. The method of revealing the female body throughout mirrors was meant to attract the attention of consumer. 3. Multiplied body images meaning was like a commodity in fashion advertisements.

An optical method to measure the three-dimensional (3D) shape of a surface with specular reflection is proposed. The proposed method is based on the analysis of the geometric path of the light from a point source, and the relative displacements of points in the reflection image. The 3D shape of a concave mirror is shown to be determined approximately via experiments, where the vision system consists of LED array illumination, a half-mirror, and an imaging sensor.

Recently, LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) is the display product widely used on various fields of industry. This is generally composed of many parts. Among many parts, polarizer film control the intensity of the transmitted light according to the degree of rotation of the polarizer axis. Therefore, this film must be free from defects. But it contains many defects such as the defects caused by dust or different thing, adhesive badness, scratch. Presently, the inspection of these defects is depending on the sight of operator. In this paper, we propose the vision system composed of telecentric lens and optical mirror. This system use the coaxial illumination and the light is specularly reflected on the optical mirror. And we develop the image processing algorithm using the threshold and morphological technique.

The story of Lizzie Borden has served as a creative impetus in the American imagination; following the hundred years after the Borden murders, a remarkable body of creative work has been produced. Ann Schofield asserts that the Borden story has become an "ur-text for the contemplation of power, of patriarchy, [and] of sexuality" (92). In reading Mary Wilkins Freeman's "The Long Arm" (1895), this essay re-considers Schofield's claim that the Borden story and its subsequent renditions enable a revisionary take on female subjectivity and resistance to patriarchal order. More specifically, this essay examines how Freeman's text (one of the first to fictionalize the saga of Lizzie Borden) reflects back the gendered subjectivity in the in the gothic mirror for us to consider whether that reflection began as an image of subjection or that of autonomy.

There is a cause and effect relationship in that brain injury causes impairment of mental rotation and ultimately independent functional activities. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of mental rotation on reaction time and precision between the normal adults and chronic hemiparetic stroke patients. Thirty-one patients with chronic hemiparetic stroke and twenty normal adults participated in this study. The participants conducted 2 types of tasks for mental rotation: a comparison task using mirror images, and a rotation task using angular disparity images for 2 different 3-dimensional objects. Each of the 3 possible angled shapes ($90^{\circ}$, $180^{\circ}$, and $270^{\circ}$) appeared in each pair. The test consisted of 6 mirror-reflected image pairs and 6 angular disparity image pairs visualized during angular rotation, and 12 test periods. The subjects were judged on how accurately and rapidly they could distinguish between the mirrored and non-mirrored pairs. The study measured reaction time and precision to compare the effect of mental rotation tasks. Reaction time during all 3 angular conditions were significantly longer in the stroke patients than that in the normal adult during the comparison tasks and the rotation tasks. In addition, precision during mental rotation tasks was not significantly different between normal adults and stroke patients. Our results suggest that rehabilitation therapists should keep in mind that mental rotation is more difficult in stroke population than in normal adults.

In this paper, we proposed an omnidirectional ranging system that is able to obtain $360^{\circ}$ all directional distances effectively based on structured light image. The omnidirectional ranging system consists of laser structured light source and a catadioptric omnidirectional camera with a curved mirror. The proposed integro-differential structured light image processing algorithm makes the ranging system robust against environmental illumination condition. The omnidirectional ranging system is useful for map-building and self-localization of a mobile robot.

In this paper, a subband coding scheme using the human visual system(HVS) model for encoding monochrome images is proposed to produce perceptually higher quality images compared with the regular subband coding scheme. The proposed approach first transforms the intensity image to the density image by a point nonlinear transformation. A frequency band dexomposition of the density image is carried out by means of 2-D seaprable quadrature mirror filters, which split the density image spectrum into 16 equall rate subbands. Bits are allocated among the subbands to minimize the weighted mean squar error (WMSE) for differential pulse code modulation(DPCM) coding of the subbands. The weight for each subband is calculated from the modulation transfer function (MTF) of the HVS model at corresponding frequencies. The performances of the proposed approach are evaluated for 256 * 256 monochrome images at the bit rates of 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 bita per pixel. Computer simulation results indicate that using the HVS model yields more pleasing reconstructed images than regular subband coding approach which does not use HVS model.

In assembly, misalignment must be detected and compensated for during the mating period, regardless of the complexity of the cross-sectional shape. To this end, we propose a novel omnidirectional image sensing system for assembling parts with complicated shapes(OISSA) and its feasibility for detecting the misalignment between mating parts is shown by a series of simulations. This system encompasses a camera with an optical unit attached to the front of the camera. The optical unit consists of a pair of plane mirrors and a pair of conic mirrors. Utilizing the proposed sensing system, a 2$\pi$ coaxial image of the misalignment along the mating boundary interface between mating parts can be immediately obtained without experiencing self-occlusion.

This paper analyzes the distortion correction of the in the micro DMD(digital micro mirror device) projector system using 0.25 or less optical throwing distance ratio. The distortion of projected image occurs depending on the performance of the optical lens, the installation location of the projection system, and the tilt of the screen. This study analyzed the physical tilt values influencing of the distortion of projected image, removed the tilt distortion of throwing distance ratio optical lens, and adjusted the distortion image by the simulation of calibration displacements. The results of this study demonstrated within 5% TV distortion reference. Moreover, the correction method reduced the pin-distortion correction of projection system.
