A new lens and prism accurately detect fingerprint ridges and valleys that are needed to express a fingerprint's intrinsic characteristics well. The proposed technology includes light path configuration and an optical fingerprint sensor that can effectively identify faked fingerprint features. Results of simulation show the smart optical fingerprint sensor classifies the characteristics of faked fingerprints made from silicone, gelatin, paper, and rubber, and show that the proposed technology has superior detection performance with faked fingerprints, compared to the existing infrared discrimination method.

In this study, an embedded ranging system based on a laser structured light image is developed. The distance measurement by the structured light image processing has efficient computation because the burdensome correspondence problem is avoidable. In order to achieve robustness against environmental illumination noise and real-time laser structured light image processing, a bandpass optical filter is adopted in this study. The proposed ranging system has an embedded image processor performing the whole image processing and distance measurement, and so reduces the computational burden in the main control system. A system calibration algorithm is presented to compensate for the lens distortion.

EPON(Ethernet Passive Optical Network)은 저비용의 Ethernet 장치와 광섬유 인프라를 융합한 네트워크로서 차세대 광대역 액세스 네트워크에서 'last mile'의 병목현상을 해결하기 위해 개발된 기술이다. EPON에서는 업스트림 방향으로 하나의 파장을 이용해 전송해야 하므로 TDMA(Time-Division Multiple Access) 방식을 이용하는데, 한정된 대역폭을 효율적으로 할당하기 위해서 주로 할당하는 윈도우의 크기에 비중을 두었으나, 본지에서는 할당하는 순서에 연구의 초점을 두었다. 제안 방식은 ONU(Optical Network Unit)들을 여러개의 그룹으로 나누고 요구량에 따라 최대 최소를 찾아 최대는 가장 먼저 최소는 가장 늦게 폴링하게 한다. 제안하는 방식은 기존 DBA(Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation) 알고리즘과의 성능평가 결과를 놓고 볼 때, 지연시간과 처리율면에서 높은 향상을 보인다.

기존 전기적 상호 연결을 사용한 네트워크-온-칩(Network-on-Chip, NoC)의 전력 및 성능 한계를 보완하고자 광학적 상호연결을 이용하는 하이브리드 광학 네트워크-온-칩(HONoC)이 등장하였다. 하지만 HONoC에서는 광학적 소자 특성으로 인해 서킷 스위칭을 사용함으로써 경로 충돌이 빈번하게 발생하며 이로 인해 지연 시간 불균형의 문제가 심화되어 전체적인 시스템 성능에 악영향을 미치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 경로 충돌을 최소화 시켜 지연 시간을 최적화 할 수 있는 새로운 태스크 매핑 알고리즘을 제안하였다. HONoC 환경에서 태스크를 각 Processing Element (PE)에 할당하고 경로 충돌을 최소화하며, 부득이한 경로 충돌의 경우 워스트 케이스 (worst case) 지연 시간을 최소화 할 수 있도록 하였다. 모의실험 결과를 통해 무작위 매핑 방식, 대역폭 제한 매핑 방식과 비교하여, 제안된 알고리즘이 $4{\times}4$ 메시 토폴로지에서는 평균 43%, $8{\times}8$ 메시 토폴로지에서는 평균 61%의 지연 시간 단축 효과가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Point contact film thickness in elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) is analyzed by image processing method for the images from an optical interferometer with monochromatic incident light. Interference between the reflected lights both on half mirror Cr coating of glass disk and on super finished ball makes circular fringes depending on the contact conditions such as sliding velocity, applied load, viscosity-pressure characteristics and viscosity of lubricant under ambient pressure. In this situation the film thickness is regarded as the difference of optical paths between those reflected lights, which make dark and bright fringes with monochromatic incident light. The film thickness is computed by numbering the dark and bright fringe orders and the intensity (gray scale image) in each fringe regime is mapped to the corresponding film thickness. In this work, we developed a measuring technique for EHL film thickness by dividing the image patterns into two typical types under the condition of monochromatic incident light. During the image processing, the captured image is converted into digitally formatted data over the contact area without any loss of the image information of interferogram and it is also interpreted with consistency regardless of the observer's experimental experience. It is expected that the developed image processing method will provide a valuable basis to develop the image processing technique for color fringes, which is generally used for the measurement of relatively thin films in higher resolution.

Tracking of the moving object, which is realized by the computer vision, is used for military and industrial fields. It is the application technique with imply complicated processing for understanding the input images. But, in these days, the most moving object tracking algorithms have many difficult problems. A typical problem is the increase of calculation time depending on target number. For this reason, there are many studies to solve real time processing problems and errors for background environmental change. In this paper, we used optical flow which is one of moving object tracking algorithms. It represents vector of the moving object. Optical flow estimation based on the regularization method depends on iteration method but it is very sensitive the noise. We proposed a new method using the Combinatorial Hough Transform (CHT) and Voting Accumulation in order to find optimal constraint lines. Also, we used the logical operation in order to release the operation time. The proposed method can easily and accurately extract the optical flow of moving object area and the moving information. We have simulated the proposed method using the test images. This images are included the noise. Experimental results show that the proposed method get better flow and estimate accurately the moving information.

It is necessary to improve mechanical and optical properties in the optical disk substrates as the information storage devices with high storage density using short wavelength laser are being developed. Injection compression molding is regarded as the most suitable process to manufacture optical disk substrates with high is regarded as the most suitable process to manufacture optical disk substrates with high dimensional accuracy low residual stresses and superb optical properties In the present study polycarbonate optical disk substrates were fabricated by injection compression molding and the birefringence regarded as one of the most important optical properties for optical disk is measured. The effects of various processing conditions upon the development of birefringence distribution were examined experimentally. It was found that the value of the birefringence distribution were very sensitive to the mold wall temperature history and the variance of the birefringence distribution in the radial direction was affected by the level of the packing and the compression pressure.

The vergence control of binocular stereoscopic camera is the most essential factor for acquiring high quality stereoscopic images. In this paper, we proposed a binocular stereoscopic camera vergence control method using disparity information by the simple image processing and estimate the quantity of vergence control using the Lagrange interpolation equation. The method of extracting disparity information through image processing is as follows: first the key-object in left & right images was extracted through labeling of the central area of the image, and then a simple method was used for calculating the disparity value of the same key-object in the labeled left and right images. The vergence control method uses disparity information and keeps the convergence distance of left & right cameras and the distance of the key-object the same. According to the proposed method, variance in the distance of the key-object and application of calculated disparity information of obtained left & right images to the quadratic Lagrange interpolation equation could estimate the quantity of vergence control, which confirmed that the method of stereoscopic camera vergence control can be simplified through experiments on various key-objects and other convergence distance.
