We used BV CCD images to study the dynamical substructures of three globular clusters - M5, NGC6934, NGC7006 - analyzing the radial variations of ellipticity and position angle from the point spread function stellar photometry and the ellipse surface photometry. Several populations were classified by the brightness on color-magnitude diagrams of each globular cluster. Ellipse analyses to the images, removed stars of each population from the original images of the clusters, show radial variations in ellipticity and position angle, with the amount of $0.01\~0.25$ in ellipticity and $+90\~-90$ degrees in position angle up to roughly three times of half light radius $(r_h)$. It is also apparent that there are no significant discrepancies in the dynamical substructures beyond $r_h$ among the different populations. However, dynamical substructures on the central region (i.e., inner than $\~r_h$) reflect the contributions of populations of bright red giant stars and horizontal branch stars.

In this paper we present a barcode reader to decode two-dimensional symbology PDF-417 and propose a novel method to extract the bar-space patterns directly from the gray-level barcode image, which employs the location and the distance between extreme points of each row of the barcode image. This algorithm proves to be very robust from the high convolution distortion environments such as defocussing and warping, even under badly illuminating condition. If the scanned barcode image is a result of the convolution of a Gaussian-shaped point spread function with a bi-level image, popular image segmentation methods such as image thresholding can not distinguish between very narrow bar-space patterns with a couple of pixels wide. The proposed algorithm shows improved performance over current barcode readers.

We present a vaguelette-curvelet decomposition based image deblurring algorithm. We first perform denoising based on the hard-thresholding rule by estimating unknown curvelet coefficients. The proposed algorithm then calculates vaguelette functions by deconvolving the curvelet bases by the point spread function. Vaguelette transform is finally performed to make a clearly restored image. Since the proposed algorithm uses the curvelet transform to sensitively express the edges in all directions, it is possible to restore images with more naturally preserved edges in all directions.

The objective of this paper is to present a digital method for improving the lateral resolution of the B-scan images in the medical applications of ultrasound. The method is based upon a mathematical model of the lateral blurring caused by the finite beam width of the transducers. This model provides a simple method of applying a recursive scheme for image restoration with fast computation time. The point spread function (P.S.F.) can be measured by the reflective signals after scanning the small pins located along the depth of interest. From the measured P.S.F., one can compute the coefficient matrices of the inverse discrete-time dynamic state variable equation of the blurring process. Then, a recursive scheme for deblurring is applied to the recorded B-scan to improve the lateral resolution. One major advantage of the present recursive scheme over the transform method is in its applicability for the space-variant imaging, such as in the case of the rotational movement of transducer.

편대비행위성을 이용하여 우주간섭계 영상시스템을 구현하였을때 위성의 배치에 따른 점분포함수(Point Spread Function, PSF)를 계산하고 관측될 영상을 예측하여 편대비행위성 간섭계 관측시스템의 예상되는 성능을 분석하였다. 적외선과 가시광 영역에서 관측하는 경우에 대하여 단일구경과 합성구경 관측시스템의 점분포함수를 계산하고 이에 해당되는 예측 영상의 해상도를 비교하였을 때, 합성구경으로 관측 시 더 높은 해상도를 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 편대비행 위성을 이용하여 합성구경 관측을 하는 경우에 대하여 단순한 원형 배열뿐만 아니라 간섭계 관측에 유리한 골레이(Golay) 배열 등 다양한 위성 배치에 따른 점분포함수를 구하고 비교하여 위성 배치에 따른 간섭계관측 시스템의 성능 차이를 분석하였다. 이 결과를 통하여 실제 편대비행위성을 이용하여 간섭계 관측시스템을 구현할 때, 관측시스템을 구성하는 편대 위성의 개수와 배치를 효율적으로 결정할 수 있는 토대를 마련하였다.

Due to the handheld holding of smartphones and the presence of light leakage and non-balanced contrast, the detection of the retina area in smartphone-captured fundus images is more challenging than retinography-captured fundus images. This paper presents a computationally efficient image processing pipeline in order to detect and enhance the retina area in smartphone-captured fundus images. The developed pipeline consists of five image processing components, namely point spread function parameter estimation, deconvolution, contrast balancing, circular Hough transform, and retina area extraction. The results obtained indicate a typical fundus image captured by a smartphone through a D-EYE lens is processed in 1 second.

The perception of earthquake in Korea has changed due to the earthquake that occurred in Gyeongju and Pohang, and the earthquake has become an important factor in infrastructure management. Damage to infrastructures in the event of an earthquake is extensive. In particular, damage to infrastructures that perform public function used to spread to the whole area. From the point of view of earthquake disaster prevention, it is very important for the public to define what infrastructures are important management targets and to prepare a countermeasure. In this study, we propose a method to evaluate the importance of infrastructure to effectively manage infrastructures for earthquakes. For this purpose, important factors for the railway bridges, power generation and electric power facilities, and apartment complexes are suggested. AHP analysis is conducted to suggest priorities. In addition, the evaluation criteria for infrastructure importance are presented.

We present the application of the Point Spread Function (PSF) deconvolution method to the astronomical Integral Field Unit (IFU) Spectroscopy data focus on the restoration of the galaxy kinematics. We apply the Lucy-Richardson deconvolution algorithm to the 2D image at each wavelength slice. We make a set of mock IFU data which resemble the IFU observation to the model galaxies with a diverse combination of surface brightness profile, S/N, line-of-sight geometry and Line-Of-Sight Velocity Distribution (LOSVD). Using the mock IFU data, we demonstrate that the algorithm can effectively recover the stellar kinematics of the galaxy. We also show that lambda_R_e, the proxy of the spin parameter can be correctly measured from the deconvolved IFU data. Implementation of the algorithm to the actual SDSS-IV MaNGA IFU survey data exhibits the noticeable difference on the 2D LOSVD, geometry, lambda_R_e. The algorithm can be applied to any other regular-grid IFS data to extract the PSF-deconvolved spatial information.

A holographic iverse filter has been used for optical image deblurring by modeling the PSF(point spread function)of blurred system. This paper presents the optical image restoration of an accidentally blurred photograph by using a simgle inverse filter which is obtained from a blurrec PSF by analyzing the Fourier spectrum of the supposely defocused photograph itself. The filter, a positive transparency having gamma of 2, has amplitude and phase informations simulatneously.

한국천문연구원에서는 LSB 천체 관측에 최적화된 유효직경 300 mm의 비축 자유곡면 K-DRIFT pathfinder 망원경을 개발하였다. 밝은 별로 시험관측을 한 결과 설계에서 예상된 점퍼짐함수(point spread function)보다 약 5배 정도 (또는 목표로 한 점퍼짐함수보다 약 1.5배 정도) 큰 점퍼짐함수를 얻었다. 이에 대한 원인 분석 결과 비축자유곡면을 가공하면서 발생한 툴 마크에 의한 MSF(Mid-Spatial Frequency) 효과가 점퍼짐함수 증가에 주도적인 영향을 주는 것으로 판단되었다. 본 발표에서는 반사경면의 MSF를 다양한 조건에 따라 시뮬레이션한 결과를 소개하고 이를 토대로 실제 반사경 제작에서 MSF 효과를 최소화 하는 방안에 대해 논의하고자 한다.
