Hybrid optical-electronic procedures are introduced for the automated estimation of cell parameters (e.g., size, size variation, and shape). Two different optical Fourier analysis procedures are applied to high contrast cell boundary patterns obtained from specular micrographs of the endothelial layer. In one case, a large number of cell patterns are illuminated to extract average cell size information. Once the average cell size information has been obtained, individual cells are illuminated to extract shape information.

We propose a method to estimate the 3-D shape of surfaces with specular reflection, using a model of the difference in appearance between images reflected from a flat surface and a curved surface. First, we analyze the geometry of spatial reflection from a specular surface and how reflected light varies due to a curved surface. This is used to estimate 3-D shape. The proposed method is shown to be effective in experiments using illumination from spatially distributed light sources and a camera capturing the reflected light from curved, specular surfaces.

관제 및 측정 시스템 등에서 고품질 영상을 획득하는 것은 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 영상 획득 기술 중에서 SFF (Shape from Focus)는 물체를 광축 방향으로 사전에 결정된 스텝 사이즈로 이동시킴으로써 초점 정도가 다른 2D 영상들을 획득함으로써 삼차원 형상을 복원하는 기술이다. SFF를 위해 일정한 스텝 사이즈로 물체를 이동시킬 때 각 스텝에서 광축 방향으로 기계 진동, 즉 지터 노이즈가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이 지터 노이즈의 영향을 줄이기 위해 새로운 상태 추정 필터를 설계 및 적용한다. 제안된 방법의 적용을 위해 지터 노이즈와 초점 커브는 가우시안 함수로써 모델링한다. 실험 결과들을 통해 제안된 방법의 효율성을 증명한다.

In this study, we investigate the effects of elliptical shape of Asian dust particles on the estimation of aerosol optical depth by implementing T-matrix method into WRF/Chem Dust Model. The phase function calculated by assuming elliptical particle shape near $110{\sim}160^{\circ}$ of scattering angle showed about 20 times larger than that calculated by assuming spherical particle shape. Significant difference of extinction efficiency was found with an increase of size parameter and aspect ratio. From the simulations of two Asian dust events occurred on 1 April 2007 and 16 March 2010, we found that the difference of extinction efficiency between elliptical and spherical particle shape was about 5~8%. The aerosol optical depth calculated by assuming elliptical particle shape with 1.6, 1.4 and 1.2 of aspect ratio was about $4.0{\pm}0.5%$, $2.0{\pm}0.2%$, and $1.0{\pm}0.1%$ larger than those estimated by assuming spherical particle shape.

얼굴영상에서 나타나는 정서특징을 분석하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 Active Shape Model (ASM)과 Lucas-Kanade (LK) optical flow 기법을 기반으로 하는 특징검출 및 분석방법을 제안한다. Facial Action Coding System에 근거하여 묘사된 정서적 특징을 고려하여, 특징이 분포하는 영역에 위치한 다수의 landmark로 shape 모델을 구성하고 모델에서 각 Landmark를 중심으로 하는 움직임 벡터 윈도우 내부의 픽셀에 대한 LK 기법을 통해 optical flow 벡터를 추출한다. 추출된 움직임 벡터의 방향성 조합에 근거하여 얼굴정서특징을 shape 모델로 표현할 수 있으며, 베이지안 분류기라는 확률 기반 추론기법을 기반으로 정서적 상태에 대한 추정할 수 있다. 또한, 정서특징분석과정의 연산 효율성과 정확성 향상을 도모하기 위하여 common spatial pattern (CSP) 분석기법을 적용하여 정서상태 별로 상관성이 높은 특징만으로 구성된 최적정서특징을 추출한다.

Radar Cross Section(RCS) is a measure of how detectable an object is with a radar. A larger RCS indicates that an object is more easily detected. Informally, the RCS of an object is the cross-sectional area of a perfectly reflecting sphere that would produce the same amount of reflection strength as the object in question would. In order to estimate RCS of aircraft weapons the external surface is modeled as a collection of simple shape elements. And the overall RCS is estimated as a vector sum of configuring elements' cross-sections which are well known given by analytic formulae. A RCS estimation code is developed for a typical shape of Air-To-Surface bombs and missiles. Size of weapons and location of fins are implemented in the code in addition to the presence of canards. The ability to predict radar return from flying vehicles becomes a critical technology issue in the development of stealth configurations. This simplified method of RCS estimation is known to be fast and accurate enough in an optical region of high frequency incident radio wave.

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.

This paper proposes a method for measurement three-dimensional trajectories of bubbles generated around a swimmer's arms from stereo high-speed camera videos. This method is based on two techniques: two-dimensional trajectory estimation in single-camera images and trajectory pair matching in stereo-camera images. The two-dimensional trajectory is estimated by block matching using similarity of bubble shape and probability of bubble displacement. The trajectory matching is achieved by a consistensy test using epipolar constraint in multiple frames. The experimental results in two-dimensional trajectory estimation showed the estimation accuracy of 47% solely by the general optical flow estimation, whereas 71% taking the bubble displacement into consideration. This concludes bubble displacement is an efficient aspect in this estimation. In three-dimensional trajectory estimation, bubbles were visually captured moving along the flow generated by an arm; which means an efficient material for swimmers to swim faster.

This paper describes the speckle shearing interferometry, a non-destructive optical method, for quantitative estimation of void defect and monitoring separation defect inside of a pneumatic tire. Previous shearing interferometry has not supplied quantitative result of inside defect, due to effective factors. In the study, factors related to the details of an inside defect are classified and optimized with pipeline simulator. The size and the shape of defect can be estimated accurately to find a critical point and also is closely related with shearing direction. The technique is applied for quantitative estimation of defects inside of a pneumatic tire. The actual traveling tire is monitored to reveal the cause of separation and the starting points. And also unknown void defects on tread are inspected and the size and shape of defects are estimated which has good agreement with the result of visual inspection.

스마트폰을 이용한 실내 위치 추적 기술에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히 스마트폰의 이동 거리를 정확하게 측정하여 사용자의 이동 경로를 지도에 표시하여야 한다. 스마트폰에 탑재 되어있는 센서를 이용한 위치 추적 기술은 오래 전부터 사용 되어 왔으나, 센서만 이용하여 사용자의 이동 거리를 측정하기에는 정확하지 못하다. 따라서 사용자가 스마트폰을 일정한 자세로 들고 이동할 때, 이동 거리를 정확하게 측정할 수 있는 적절한 알고리즘을 연구 개발해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 피라미드 기반 광류 추정 방법에서 스마트폰의 화면을 제한하여 사용자의 발모양을 제거함으로써 이동거리 추정 오차를 줄이기 위한 방법을 제안하고, 실험으로 그 성능을 검증하였다.
