In this paper, we propose a DOF (Depth of Field) correction technique by determining the values of the internal parameters of a 3-D camera which consists of stereoscopic cameras of different optical properties. If there is any difference in the size or the depth range of focused objects in the left and right stereoscopic images, it could cause visual fatigue to human viewers. The object size of in the stereoscopic image is corrected by the LUT of zoom lenses, and the forward and backward DOF are corrected by the object distance. Then the F-numbers are determined to adjust the optical properties of the camera for DOF correction. By applying the proposed technique to a main-sub type 3-D camera using a GUI-based DOF simulator, the DOF of the camera is automatically corrected.

This paper proposes a small VCM (Voice coil motor) type actuator using curved suspensions for auto-focusing and zoom motions for mobile information devices. 1'he proposed focusing actuator adopts a nontraditional type of suspension using curved beams in order to extend output displacement within small height restriction. The curved beam is similar to the leaf spring type which is usually used in optical disk drives. In addition, three different materials are considered for the curved suspension model, and Aluminum shows the best dynamic characteristics. The proposed zoom actuator does not use a suspension supporting bobbin but a moving rail and a sloper mechanism by generating rotational force at lens holder. The sensitivity of design parameters on output performance is studied using ANSYS (3D FEM tool). Experiments using a prototype of the proposed actuator model verified the analytical prediction and performance.

The stereoscopic camera based on the image formation principle on human eyes and the brain is designed and fabricated by using a CCD and two zoom lenses. As two zoom lenses are separated as 65 mm of the human ocular distance with the wide angle of view of $50^{\circ}$ and the variable convergence angle from $0^{\circ}$ to $16^{\circ}$, the camera can be operated by the similar binocular parallax as human eyes. In order to take the dynamic stereoscopic picture, a shutter blade for the selection of the left and right images in turns, an X-cube image combiner fur the composition of these two images through the blade, and a CCD with 60 frames per second are used.

Purpose: This paper is about development and design of the 1x optical path relay adapter for the beam splitting prism by us the day & night scope. Methods: To product the day & night scope by using the beam splitting prism and the commercial zoom optical system with the C-mount lens barrel structure, the optical path relay adapter, which doesn't change the image size of the zoom optical system and can stretch the position of the image-forming surface, is needed. We could design the 1x optical path relay adapter by using the CodeV program in which the Lens Module mode is offered. Results: We could design the optical path relay adapter used in the day&night scope with the beam splitting prism, of which characteristics have the EFL of -56.0 mm, the magnification of +1.0x, the distance from the 1st lens surface to the last lens surface of about 20.4 mm. The resolution of this system is characterized by 30 lp/mm at 40% MTF. This is enough to accommodate the designed optical path relay adapter can overcome the resolution of the 3rd generation of image intesifier tubes. Conclusions: By designing and applying the optical path relay adapter of which optical characteristics have the EFL of -56.0 mm, the magnification of +1.0x, the distance from the 1st lens surface to the last lens surface of about 20.4 mm, and the resolution of 30 lp/mm at 40% MTF, we could develop the new type day&night scope consisting of the beam splitting, the commercial zoom optical system with the C-mount lens barrel structure, and the 3rd generation of image intesifier tubes.

For an inner-focusing 3-groups zoom lens system, this study suggests a new initial design method which applies the process that changes thin lenses into thick ones effectively and quickly, using the hybrid lens system(thin lens+thick lens). In other words, the hybrid lens system is the semi-automatic design process that makes the thin lens of one group change into a thick one while the other groups are composed of thin lenses. Keeping the total power of the system fixed, the power of each group and the distance between principal planes can be fixed. Of course, the other groups composed of thin lenses could be changed into thick lenses sequentially by this process. This design conception results in the 1/4" 5 M inner-focusing 3-groups 2x zoom lens system satisfying the specifications and performances of zoom lens for phone cameras. Also aspherization on lens elements of glass and plastic material enhanced the resolution and reduced the lens size. As a result, we have an ultra-compact inner-focusing 3-groups 2x zoom lens system for a phone camera, with a slim size with TTL of 9.8 mm.

각종 렌즈 및 카메라, 망원경, 현미경 등 다양한 광학계들이 설계 및 개발 되고 있는 시점에서 그 성능을 정확하게 평가하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 광학계의 성능 평가를 위해서는 크게 정성적인 방법과 정량적인 방법으로 나눌 수 있는데, 정성적인 방법에 의한 평가는 분해능 표판이나 주기적인 격자의 상을 스크린 등에 결상시킨 후 사람의 눈을 통해서 한계 분해능을 평가하는 방법이다. 정량적인 방법에 의한 평가는 OTF(Optical Transfer Function)를 측정하거나 설계 자료를 통해 계산해 내는 것이다. (중략)

Recently, there is a demand for a thermal imaging microscope in the medical field as well as the semi-conductor industry Although the demand of the advanced thermal imaging microscope has been increased, it is very difficult to obtain the technology of developing a thermal camera, because it is used for defense industry. We developed the ${\times}5$ zoom microscope which has $3\;{\mu}m$ spatial resolution to research the design and fabrication of the IR (Infrared) optical system. The optical system of the IR microscope consists of four spherical lenses and four aspheric lenses. We verified individual sensitivity of each optical parameter as the first order approach to the analysis. And we also performed structure and vibration analysis. The optical elements are fabricated using Freeform 700A. The measurement results of surface roughness and form accuracy using NT 2000 and UA3P are Ra 2.36 nm and P-V $0.13\;{\mu}m$. Finally we ascertained resolution power of $3\;{\mu}m$ using USAF (United State Air Force) 1951 IR resolution test chart.

In sport programs, real-time virtual imaging system come into notice for new technology which can compose information like team logos, scores. distances directly on playing ground, so it can compensate for the defects of general character generator. In order to synchronize graphics to camera movements, generally two method is used. One is for using sensors attached to camera moving axis and the other is for analyzing camera video itself. KBS technical research institute developed real-time sensor-based virtual imaging system 'VIVA', which uses four sensors on pan, tilt, zoom, focus axis and controls virtual graphic camera in three dimensional coordinates in real-time. In this paper, we introduce our system 'VIVA' and it's technology. For accurate camera tracking we calculated view-point movement occurred by zooming based on optical principal point variation data and we considered field of view variation not only by zoom but also by focus. We developed our system based on three dimensional graphic environment. so many useful three dimensional graphic techniques such as keyframe animation can be used. VIVA was successfully used both in Busan Asian Games and 2002 presidential election. We confirmed that it can be used not only in the field but also in the studio programs in which camera is used within more close range.

The multi-configurative microscopic system for inspecting the wire-bonding of reed frame is designed. Rays refracted by objective lens group which is composed of common lens group of x2 and x6 are splitted by beam-splitter, and Rays through the central region and the boundary region of the object imaged at x2 and x6 through imaging lens groups, respectively. The depth of wire structure on the reed frame has about $\pm$3 mm, in order to observe by uniform magnification without the dependency on the variation of objective distance generated by the depth of wire structure on the reed frame, imaging lens groups should be moved on nonlinear locus like mechanically compensated zoom lenses. The nonlinear equations for zoom locus are derived by using the Gaussian bracket. Refraction powers and positions of each groups are numerically determined by solving the equations, and initial design data for each groups is obtained by using Seidel third order aberration theory. The optimization technique is finally utilized to obtain this microscopic system.
