In the conventional thermograph systems, expensive infrared lens systems are usually used for accomodating infrared beams to high speed optical scanners. In this study, a cheap focussing mirror with a two dimensional scanner are used for the development of medical infrared thermograph system in which high speed imaging is not critically required. The infrared thermograph system can be used for two dimensional imaging of human skin temperature by measuring the amount of infrared lights radiating from it. It has been experimentally proven that the accuracy of temperature measurements using the developed system is under 0.1$^{\circ}C$ with image matrix size of 256${\times}$240, and imaging time of 4 seconds.

We investigate the evaluation items of LSU (Laser Scanning Unit), such as beam size, f$\theta$ characteristics, linearity, skew and bow, optical power ratio between image height of 0mm and $\pm$108 mm, pitch error, Jitter and shift of printing position. Through the measurement of LSU using BSH (Beam Scan Head) installed on LMC (Linear Motion Controller) which moves linearly within the whole scanning range (-108 mm~+108 mm), we can ascertain plastic f$\theta$ lenses, which are manufactured by TVLP (Two-step Variable Low Pressure) molding method, to satisfy 600DPI(Dots Per Inch) performance.

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.

CQUEAN (Camera for Quasars in EArly uNiverse) is an optical CCD camera system which has its own auto-guiding system. Guiding system consists of a 1k*1k CCD camera, FLI PL1001E, a flat mirror to feed the image of an off-axis field to the camera and baffle. The whole system lies on a moving arm which rotates 90 degree effectively to enlarge the field of view. A motor, IMS MDRIVE 34, and a differential decelerator, APEX AD140-050, are used for the moving mechanism. Auto-guiding is controlled by Agdr program. We had a first light from Aug. 10 to Aug 17, 2010 at McDonald Observatory, USA. In this presentation, we describe about the auto-guiding system for CQUEAN and its performance on the 2.1m telescope.

Visible spectral characteristics of cross-sectional emissions from a partially premixed methane/air and propane/air flames have been investigated. An optical train with a two-axis scanning mirror system was used to record line-of-sight emission spectra from 354nm to 618nm, and inversion technique was adapted to obtain cross-sectional emission spectra. By analyzing the reconstructed emission spectra, cross-sectional intensities of CH and $C_2$ radicals were separated from the background emissions. The blue flame edge and yellow flame edge were also obtained by image processing technique for edge detection with color photograph of flame. These edges were compared with radial distributions of CH, $C_2$ radicals and background emissions. The CH radicals were observed at blue flame edge. The background emissions were generated by soot precursor at upstream of flame and by soot at downstream of flame. The $C_2$ radicals in propane/air flame were observed more than those in methane/air flame.

This paper presents the concept of "interactive teleprompter", which provides the user with interaction with oneself or other users for live television broadcasts or smart mirrors. In such interactive applications, eye contacts between the user and the regenerated image or between the user and other persons are important in handling psychological processes or non-verbal communications. Unfortunately, it is not straightforward to address the eye contact issues with conventional combination of normal display and video camera. To address this problem, we propose an "interactive" teleprompter enhanced from conventional teleprompter devices. Our interactive teleprompter can recognize the user's gestures by applying infra-red (IR) depth sensor. This paper also presents test results for a beam splitter which plays a critical role for teleprompter and is designed to handle both visual light for RGB camera and IR for Depth sensor effectively.

An on-line real time grading and sorting system for dried oak mushrooms was developed for on-site application. Quality grades of the mushrooms were determined according to an industrial specification. Three dimensional visual quality features were used for the grading. A progressive color computer vision system with white LED illumination was implemented to develop an algorithm to extract external quality patterns of the dried oak mushrooms. Cap (top) and gil (stem) surface images were acquired sequentially and side image was obtained using mirror. Algorithms for extracting size, roundness, pattern and color of the cap, thickness, color of the gil and amount of rolled edge of the dried mushroom were developed. Utilizing those quality factors normal and abnormal ones were classified and normal mushrooms were further classified into 30 different grades. The sorting device was developed using microprocessor controlled electro-pneumatic system with stainless buckets. Grading accuracy was around 97% and processing time was 0.4 s in average.

Dynamic Radioscopy technique was developed to observe internal phenomena of motors during firings. For use of this technique, generator and image box consisting of conversion screen, mirror, and video camera were designed and fabricated at our laboratory, and static firing tests were conducted to small motors. Protection devices against vibration and noise induced from during combustion were also made and their performances were evaluated with reference to the vibration criteria. Test results have shown that the vibration levels at concerned points were measured less than vibration criteria, and the internal phenomena during firings were also observed clearly.

Assurance of the objectivity and reproducibility is a major key point in wrinkle measurement used for evaluating the degree of skin aging. The measurement of relief is quickly converted to a non-contact method, of which tools or instruments do not come in contact with skin directly, to minimize the artificial effects which influence the shape or depth of the relief. Here, we showed how wrinkle measurement techniques have been changed briefly and compared PRIMOS and replica method in the point of view of measurement principle and features, the former is non-contact fringe projection tool and the latter is contact type of the method.
