We develop an image-to-image translation model, which is a popular deep learning method based on conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs), to generate solar magnetograms and EUV images from sunspot drawings. For this, we train the model using pairs of sunspot drawings from Mount Wilson Observatory (MWO) and their corresponding SDO/HMI magnetograms and SDO/AIA EUV images (512 by 512) from January 2012 to September 2014. We test the model by comparing pairs of actual SDO images (magnetogram and EUV images) and the corresponding AI-generated ones from October to December in 2014. Our results show that bipolar structures and coronal loop structures of AI-generated images are consistent with those of the original ones. We find that their unsigned magnetic fluxes well correlate with those of the original ones with a good correlation coefficient of 0.86. We also obtain pixel-to-pixel correlations EUV images and AI-generated ones. The average correlations of 92 test samples for several SDO lines are very good: 0.88 for AIA 211, 0.87 for AIA 1600 and 0.93 for AIA 1700. These facts imply that AI-generated EUV images quite similar to AIA ones. Applying this model to the Galileo sunspot drawings in 1612, we generate HMI-like magnetograms and AIA-like EUV images of the sunspots. This application will be used to generate solar images using historical sunspot drawings.

Kyung Hee university invented the Transformable Reflective Telescope (TRT) for optical experiment and education. The TRT kit can transform into three optical configurations from Newtonian to Cassegrain to Gregorian by exchanging the secondary mirror. We designed the Ebert-Fastie spectrograph as an extension of the TRT kit. The primary mirror of the TRT kit serves as both collimator and camera lens, and the reflective grating as the dispersing element is placed along the optical axis of the primary mirror. We designed and fabricated the grating holder and the source units using 3D printer. Baffle was also fabricated to suppress the stray light, which was reduced by 83%. The spectrograph can observe the optical wavelength range (4000Å~7000Å). Measured resolving power (R=λ/Δλ) was ~700 with slit width of 0.18mm. The spectrograph is optimized for f/24, and the spectral pixel scale is 0.49Å/pixel with Canon 550D detector. We present the sample spectra of discharged Ne, Ar and Kr gases. The flexible setting and high performance make this spectrograph a useful tool for education and experiment.

It is necessary to improve the exactness and adaptation of the working environment for the intelligent robot system. The vision sensor have been studied for a long time at this points. However, it has many processes and difficulties for the real usages. This paper proposes a visual servoing in the virtual environment to support OLP(Off-Line-Programming) path compensation and supplement the problem of complexity of the old kinematical calibration. Initial robot path could be compensated by pixel differences between real and virtual image. This method removes the varies calibrations and 3D reconstruction process in real working space. To show the validity of the proposed approach, virtual space servoing with stereo camera is carried out with WTK and openGL library for a KUKA-6R manipulator and updated real robot path.

본 논문에서는 일본의 정지궤도 위성인 MTSAT(Multi-functional Transport Satellite)-1R의 HRIT/LRIT(High Rate Information Transmission/Low Rate Information Transmission) 데이터의 특성 및 오차를 분석하였다. HRIT/LRIT 데이터를 수신하여 영상을 추출하고, 추출한 영상에 ITU(International Telecommunication Union)의 Space Radiocommunications Stations(이하 SDS) CD에 있는 Map 데이터를 겹쳐서 실제 해안선과의 차이를 계산하였다. 분석을 위하여 10일간의 HRIT/LRIT 수신 데이터를 사용하였고 분석한 결과 MTSAT-1R 위성의 HRIT VIS 영상의 평균오차는 Line 4.42 Pixel, Column 0.66 Pixel, LRIT IR1 영상의 평균오차는 Line 1.05 Pixel, Column 0.19 Pixel인 것을 알 수 있었다.

Pixel values of original image can be changed by XORing pixel values of original image and pixel values of the basis image obtained by pseudo random sequences. This is a simple method for image encryption. This method is an effect method for easy hardware implementation and image encryption with high speed. In this paper we propose a method to obtain basis image with pseudo random sequences with large nonlinearity using nonlinear cellular automata and maximum length linear cellular automata. And experimental results showed that the proposed image encryption scheme has large key space and low correlation of adjacent cipher pixel values.

Foreground/background segmentation in video sequences is often one of the first tasks in machine vision applications, making it a critical part of the system. In this paper, we present an improved sample-based technique that provides robust background image as well as segmentation mask. The conventional multiple interval sampling (MIS) algorithm have suffer from the unbalance of computation time per frame and the rapid change of confidence factor of background pixel. To balance the computation amount, a random-based pixel update scheme is proposed and a spatial and temporal smoothing technique is adopted to increase reliability of the confidence factor. The proposed method allows the sampling queue to have more dispersed data in time and space, and provides more continuous and reliable confidence factor. Experimental results revealed that our method works well to estimate stable background image and the foreground mask.

본 논문에서는 극 좌표계에서의 벡터 표현 방식을 이용한 per-pixel displacement mapping 방법을 제시한다. per-pixel displacement mapping은 triangle mesh의 처리 방식에 상관없이 변위매핑을 수행할 수 있도록 한 것으로, 2차원 screen space로 projection 된 triangle의 각 pixel의 위치를 객체 표면 정보에 따라 displacement 해주는 방법이다. 이는 기 검증된 범프매칭 하드웨어에 약간의 하드웨어를 추가함으로써 변위매핑을 수행할 수 있도록 한 효과적인 구조이다. 제안 방식에 의해 생성된 영상과 기존 방식에 의해 생성된 영상을 비교해본 결과, 시각적으로 거의 차이가 없음을 알 수 있다.

In this paper, we proposed a method for enhancement of color images with sky regions. The input image is converted into HSV space and then sky and non-sky regions are separated. For sky region, saturation enhancement is performed for each pixel based on the enhancement factor calculated from the average saturation of its local neighborhood. On the other hand, for the non-sky region, the enhancement is applied only on the luminance value (V) component of the HSV color image, which is performed in two steps. The luminance enhancement, which is also called as dynamic range compression, is carried out using nonlinear transfer function. Again, each pixel is further enhanced for the adjustment of the image contrast depending upon the center pixel and its neighborhood pixel values. At last, the original H and V component image and enhanced S component image for the sky region, and original H and S component image and enhanced V component image for the non-sky region are converted back to RGB image.

본 논문에서는 적색, 녹색, 청색의 세 가지 고휘도 LED를 하나의 소켓에 설치하여, 하나의 화소체 단위를 만들고, 이 화소체들의 조합과 다수 모듈들의 조합으로 문자, 그래픽, 동영상 등의 다양한 영상을 표출할 수 있는 풀컬러 전광판 모듈 및 제어장치를 개발하였다. LED 전광판 드라이버 모듈은 일정한 단위 면적에 RGB 픽셀을 조합한 도트에 드라이버 회로가 내장된다. 기존의 이러한 모듈형태는 특정 공간 및 설치 공간에 고정된 해상도를 구현하므로 가격이 높게 책정될 수 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위하여 임의의 피치 간격으로 배열이 자유로운 LED 드라이버 및 이에 따른 LED 픽셀 모듈을 개발하였다. 본 논문의 전광판 모듈은 기존 각각의 LED 모듈을 구동함에 있어서 병렬 방식의 데이터 처리 방식을 픽셀을 기준으로 그 위의 서브 모듈과 그 상위에 마스터 모듈의 개념을 도입하고 각각의 화소를 직병렬 통신 방식으로 개선함으로 인해서 처리할 수 있는 데이터의 속도를 초당 36프레임 이상으로 끌어올려서 상대적으로 데이터의 처리량이 많은 동화상의 경우에도 원활한 디스플레이를 할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 기존 전광판의 깜박거림 현상이 개선되어 보다 선명한 영상이 제공되는 효과도 있다.

Deep Ecliptic Patrol of the Southern Sky (DEEP-South) observation is being made during the off-season for exoplanet survey, using Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet). An optimal combination of its prime focus optics and the 0.3 billion pixel CCD provides a four square degrees field of view with 0.4 arcsec/pixel plate scale which is also best suited for small body studies. Normal operation of KMTNet started in October 2015, and a significant portion of the allocated telescope time for DEEP-South is dedicated to targeted observation, Opposition Census (OC), of near-Earth asteroids for physical and taxonomic characterization. This is effectively achieved through multiband, time series photometry using Johnson-Cousins BVRI filters. Uninterrupted monitoring of the southern sky with KMTNet is optimized for spin characterization of a broad spectrum of asteroids ranging from the near-Earth space to the main-belt, including binaries, asteroids with satellites, slow/fast- and non-principal axis-rotators, and thus is expected to facilitate the debiasing of previously reported lightcurve observations. Our software subsystem consists of an automated observation scheduler, a pipelined data processing system for differential photometry, and an easy-to-use lightcurve analysis toolkit. Lightcurves, spin periods and provisional determination of class of asteroids to which the lightcurve belongs will be presented, using the dataset from first year operation of KMTNet. Our new taxonomic classification scheme for asteroids will also be summarized.
