Laser printer, faximile and copy machine are a few examples of OA(office automation) system. In such a system, the reflecting mirror has been employed for transmitting a target image to optical device. Therefore, to develope a good quality of optical system, the quality control of optical mirror was required. In recent years, considerable efforts have been directed toward the development of automated optical glass inspection system because the inspection is eye-fatigue and monotonous job for humans to perform. In this paper, we propose a inspection system applying algorithm of image processing for detecting defects of optical glass such as pinhole, scratch. From the experiments, the proposed inspection system shows reliable results.

This paper proposes an automatic microshaping technology using laser and applies it to implementation of semicutting control system of the panel inside which a car air bag is equipped. Since it is impossible to project laser directly onto the desired working point of a target panel due to fixedness of laser generator, we reflect the generated laser, using reflection mirrors and focusing lenses, to project onto the desired working point. Also, in order to conduct an uniform semicutting control with constant width and depth, we control the end-effector of manipulator, which grasp the laser reflection mirror, to track working path with constant speed and orientation. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed methods are checked through experiments tracking a path formatted with straight lines and arcs.

The sunlight tracking and reflexing system can be divided into two parts. One is a sunlight tracking system and the other is a sunlight reflexing system. The sunlight tracking system detects an azimuth angie and an elevation angle of the sun using 2-axis sensor sun tracker. The sunlight reflexing system controls a reflection mirror to be reflected a sunlight at the target area after getting the azimuth angle and the elevation angle of the sun from the sunlight tracking system. We applied the fuzzy PID controller to control the reflexing mirror.

In general, an ordinary CCTV camera has equipped with 24 frames per second. This camera is not capable of capturing an image of bullet trace which has speed about 1km per second. In spite of these difficulties, by means of the stereographical projection, a long distance trace is able to be contained in one image. Currently, to capture a series of image of an object with high speed, it is usual to use one of the complicated camera with high shutter speed or computerized devices with capability of controlling shutter timing with slightly different capture time. This paper proposed a monitoring tracer bullet single camera system equipped convex mirror trying to see whether or not a normal set of camera and convex mirror is capable of shooting on target located in as far as 250m.

In this paper, LED arrays with segmented mirrors and a mask are presented as a new dark-field illuminator for reflective Fourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM). The illuminator can overcome the limitations of the size and the position of samples that the dark-field illuminator using a parabolic mirror has had. The new concept was demonstrated by measuring a USAF 1951 target, and it resolved a pattern in group 10 element 6 (274 nm) in the USAF target. The new design of the dark-field illuminator can enhance competitiveness of the reflective FPM as a versatile measurement method in industry.

The purpose of this study is to develop a crop-row detector which can be applied to an automatic row following control for cultivators or thinning machines. In this report, a possibility of new crop-row detecting method was discussed. This detecting method consists of two principal means. One is the hardware means to convert the two dimensional crop-row vision to the compacted one dimensional information. The conversion is achieved by a color line sensor and a rotating mirror. In order to extract crop-row , R and G signals of RGB color system are used. The locations of two different points on the target row are detected by this means. Another is the software means to estimate the offset value and the heading angle between the detector and the target row which can be assumed as a straight line. As a result of discussion, it was concluded that this detecting method would be accurate enough for practical use.

The optics of Space telescope is one of the major parts of space mission used for imaging observation of astronomical targets and the Earth. These kinds of space mission have a bulky and complex opto-mechanics with a long optical tube, but there are attempts have been made to observe a target with a small satellite in many ways. In this paper, we describe an optical design of a reflecting telescope for use in a CubeSat mission. For this design, we adopt the off-axis segmented method of astronomical observation techniques based on the Ritchey-Chr$\acute{e}$tien type telescope. The primary mirror shape is a rectangle with dimensions of $8cm{\times}8cm$, and a secondary mirror has dimensions of $2.4cm{\times}4.1cm$. The focal ratio is 3 which can obtain a $0.3{\times}0.2$ degree diagonal angle in a $1280{\times}800$ CMOS color image sensor with a pixel size of $3{\mu}m{\times}3{\mu}m$. This optical design can capture a ${\sim}4km{\times}{\sim}2.3km$ area of the earth's surface at 700 km altitude operation. Based on this conceptual design, we will keep trying to study more for astronomical observation with Attitude control system.

This paper proposes a new bandgap reference (BGR) circuit which takes advantage of a cascode current mirror biasing to reduce the V$\_$ref/ variation, and sizing technique, which utilizes two related ratio numbers k and N, to reduce the PNP BJT area. The proposed BGR is designed and fabricated on a test chip with a goal to provide a reference voltage to the 10 bit A/D(4-4-4 pipeline architecture) converter of the CMOS Active Pixel Sensor (APS) imager to be used in X-ray imaging. The basic temperature variation effect on V$\_$ref/ of the BGR has a maximum delta of 6 mV over the temperature range of 25$^{\circ}C$ to 70$^{\circ}C$. To verify that the proposed BGR has radiation hardness for the X-ray imaging application, total ionization dose (TID) effect under Co-60 exposure conditions has been evaluated. The measured V$\_$ref/ variation under the radiation condition has a maximum delta of 33 mV over the range of 0 krad to 100 krad. For the given voltage, temperature, and radiation, the BGR has been satisfied well within the requirement of the target 10 bit A/D converter.

GMT(Giant Magellan Telescope)는 25.4m의 주경과 3.2m의 부경으로 이루어진 거대망원경이다. 3.2m의 부경은 빠른 tip-tilt로 망원경을 제어하는 Fast Steering Mirror(FSM)와 적응광학계로 이루어진 Adaptive Secondary Mirror (ASM)로 구분된다. 한국천문연구원은 국내외 협력기관들과 함께 부경 FSM의 시험모델개발을 수행하고 있다. 부경은 1.06m의 반사경 일곱 개로 이루어져 있는데, 한 개의 광축 반사경 주위로 여섯개의 비축 반사경이 둘러싸여서 하나의 3.2m 반사경과 같은 기능을 하고 있다. 비축 비구면 반사경에 대한 시험모델의 반사면을 가공한 결과 표면가공 정밀도가 11.7nm rms의 정밀도를 갖는 반사경을 가공하였다(target : <20nm rms). 또한 test-bed를 제작하여 tip-tilt 정밀도를 제어한 결과 성능요구 조건 값인 0.03arcsec 제어에 성공하였고, 더 나아가 0.01arcsec의 tip-tilt 제어도 가능한 것으로 판단된다.
