Specular reflection appears with metals, plastics, glasses and many other solid objects which are required to be inspected, assembled, moved, or processed automatically. Recongnizing such shiny objects with specular reflections is a hard problem for computer vision, since specular reflections appear, disappear, or change their shapes abruptly, due to tiny movements of the view. Traditionally, such specular reflections are discarded as annoying noise for recongnition purposes. In this paper a technique is represented for obtaining shapes of specular objects. The ring illumin- ation system employes a ring source which is positioned on the axis of the camera. The concept of the proposed method is that if specular objects are illuminated by the ring they show their own dis- tinctive specularity features in surface from which we can infer the shape of the object. A series of experiments are performed to evaluate the performance of this system.

This paper describes specular reflectance measurements of dielectric plates in three waveguide frequency bands: D-band (110-170 GHz), G-band (140-220 GHz), and J-band (220-325 GHz). The transmit (Tx) part of the proposed specular reflectance measurement system is stationary, while the receive (Rx) part and the material under test (MUT) holder are concentric-rotating with a 2:1 speed ratio for specular reflectance measurements. In specular reflectance measurements, the first step measures the specular reflection coefficients of an MUT and a metal plate on the MUT holder located at the center of the Tx and Rx parts, and the second step calculates the specular reflectance defined by the specular reflection power (i.e., intensity) of the MUT normalized to that of the metal plate. Multiple reflection effects between the Tx and Rx antennas and the MUT on the measured specular reflectance are minimized by averaging out the multiple specular reflectances measured with changing the separation distance between the two antennas by ${\lambda}/8$ intervals. Measurement results of the perpendicular-polarized specular reflectance of commonly used dielectric plates are verified by comparing those with the analytic results and show that the results measured over the overlapped frequency range of the D-/G-bands and at the boundary frequency of the G-/J-bands agree well with the results for the other band, respectively.

This paper introduces a new vision technique for extracting roof edges of polyhedra having specularly reflecting surfaces. There have been many previous works on object recognition using edge information. But they can not be applied to specular objects since it is hard to acquire reliable camera images of specular objects. If there is a method which can extract the edges of specular objects, it is possible to apply edge-based recognition algorithms to specular objects. To acquire the reliable edge images of specular objects, scanned double pass retroreflection method is proposed, whose main physical characteristic is curvature-sensitive. This utility of the physical characteristic is motivated by the idea that roof edges can be characterized as local surfaces of high curvature. In this paper, the optical characteristics of double pass retroreflection are discussed and a series of simulation studies are performed to verify and analyze the sensor characteristics. The results from a series of simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

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.

This paper is aimed to develop an optical method for measuring 3-dimensional shapes of specular objects having curved surfaces. The existing methods measuring the shapes of specular objects have several common disadvantages: they may not work properly if the surface is highly specular like mirror surface or if the reflectance property is not uniform over the surface. And, they often require the a priori knowledege about the surface reflectance. To overcome these disadvantages, the measurement using double pass retroreflection method is proposed in this paper. For this measurement principle, an experimental measuring system is designed and prepared which is composed of a galvanometer scanner, a beam splitter, a laser source, a CCD camera, and a reflector made of retroreflective material. To verify the effectiveness of the measurement system a series of experiments are performaed for various specular objects. The results observed from the experiments show that the developed optical sensing system can be an effective mean of measuring the 3-D shapes of specular objects.

From the Beckmann's reflection model of wave incident, reflected light from a surface is known to have not only specular but also diffuse components. The specular component dominant a surface for a mirror-like surface is distributed on the almost the same area as the spot on the surface, but the diffuse component region dominant f3r a rough surface spreads scattered on the larger areas than the spot. Therefore, statistic parameters from the scattered light distribution are more meaningful in the diffuse region, while the magnitude of rather meaning in the specular region. In usual, there need two sensors to acquire two kinds of information: Photo-detector for light intensity magnitude and image sensor for light intensity distribution. But dual sensor scheme requires a beam splitter usually to feed light to each sensor, and moreover there is not a combination rule to relieve the different sensor characteristics. In this study a new method is proposed for acquisition of the dual information using only an image sensor. Specular region is established on an image area being distinguished from a diffuse component, and laser power is adjusted so that no pixel of the image sensor in the specular region is saturated. Simulation based on the light reflection theory and the experimental results are quite well matched, and thus the proposed method was proved to be very useful for mirror-like surface measurement.

물체의 반사 효과는 물체의 재질, 기하학적 모양 및 조명 환경을 표현하는데 있어 매우 중요한 요소이다. 사진품질을 추구하는 사실적 렌더링에서는 기존의 국소 반사 모델을 사용하여 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있지만, 사용자의 주관이 중시되는 비사실적 렌더링에서는 사용자가 원하는 반사 효과를 표현할 수 있어야 한다. 텍스처는 사용자가 원하는 반사 효과를 직관적으로 표현할 수 있는 수단이며, 이 텍츠처를 모델에 투영하면 원하는 반사 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 이 때 사용자는 텍스처가 투영될 위치와 크기, 방향을 직접 키프레임으로 정해 줄 수 있다. 그러나 모든 반사 효과를 사용자가 직접 정해준다는 것은 번거로운 일이며, 아울러 실시간 응용분야에는 적용할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 국소반사모델과 주곡률 해석을 통해 반사 효과의 위치, 방향 및 크기를 결정하기 위한 텍스처 투영기의 새로운 설정 방법을 제시한다. 광원과 시점 정보로부터 주어진 모델 위에서 최대 명점을 구한 후, 텍스처 투영기를 최대 조명점을 지나는 법선 벡터에 평행한 직선 위에 위치시킨다. 투영기의 방위를 최대 조명점에서의 주방향에 따라서 일치시키고, 투영기의 투영 피라미드의 크기를 주곡률에 따라서 결정한다. 텍스처 투영기의 단순한 이동, 회전 및 주곡률 값의 조절을 통하여 반사 영역의 이동, 회전 및 확대/축소가 가능하다. 본 논문에서 제시한 방법은 DirectX 9.0c와 프로그램이 가능한 셰이더 2.0을 사용하여 GeForce FX 7800 그래픽 카드에 구현되었다. 본 논문의 연구 결과는 만화적 표현을 추구하는 게임 등과 같은 실시간 응용분야에 사용될 수 있으며, 실험 결과에 의하면 수만 개의 다면체 모델에 대한 스타일 반사효과를 실시간에 렌더링할 수 있다.

Si/SiO$_2$/NiO(60nm)/Co(2.5nm)/Cu(1.95nm)/Co(4.5nm)/NOL(t nm) 구조와 Si/SiO$_2$/NOL(t nm)/Co(4.5nm)/Cu(1.95nm)/Co(2.5nm)/NiO(60nm)의 구조를 갖는 바닥층 스핀밸브와 꼭대기층 스핀밸브를 제작하고, NOL의 두께변화에 따른 비저항($\rho$) 값과 비저항의 변화량( $\rho$), 교환결합력(H$_{ex}$), 보자력(H$_{c}$)의 자기적 특성을 연구하였다 NOL로 NiO 03nm의 두께로 삽입한 결과, 최대 자기저항비(magnetoresistance ratio)는 바닥층 스핀밸브에서 12.51%의 얻었으며, 자기저항비의 향상률은 꼭대기층 스핀밸브에서 더 높은 결과를 얻었다. 또한, 두 형태 모두 비저항의 변화량($\rho$)은 거의 일정하였고, 비저항($\rho$)값은 감소하였다 이러한 결과는 NOL의 삽입하였을 때 NOL/강자성층(free ferromagnetic layer) 계면에서 유도 전자의 specular 산란 효과를 가져왔고, 이로 인하여 전자의 평균 자유이동경로(mean free path; MFP)가 확장되어 전류의 전도도를 증가시켰다 이러한 specular효과에 의해 비저항의 변화량은 일정하게 유지되는 동안에 비저항 값은 감소하게 되어 결과적으로 자기저항비의 향상을 가져왔다.
