In recent years, there has been increasing use of automatic surveillance and monitoring systems based on vision sensors. Humans are often the most important target in the systems, but processing human images is difficult due to the small sizes and flexible motions. Particularly, occlusion among pedestrians in camera images brings practical problems. In this paper, we propose a novel method to separate image regions of occluded pedestrians. A camera equipped with a wide angle lens is attached to the ceiling of a building corridor for sensing pedestrians with a wide field of view. The output images of the camera are processed for the human detection, tracking, identification, distortion correction, and occlusion handling. We resolve the occlusion problem adaptively depending on the angles and positions of their heads. Experimental results showed that the proposed method is more efficient and accurate compared with existing methods.

Since the world's first 3D commercial film with red-blue glasses was introduced in 1922, remarkable progress has been made in the field of 3D video. 3D video content gained enormous popularity with the movie "Avatar," which greatly increased the sale of 3D TVs. This momentum has weakened owing to lack of 3D content. However, the recent trend of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) made 360 VR video and 3D games using a head mounted display wide spread. All these experiences mentioned above require wearing glasses to enjoy 3D content. Super multi-view content technology, on the other hand, enables viewers to enjoy 3D content without glasses on a super multi-view display. In this article, we introduce the technologies used to make super multi-view content, interact with it, and author content, which are developed by ETRI.

A small wide-field imaging telescope is a powerful instrument to survey the Universe: wide-field image can monitor the variability of many sources at a time, e.g. young stellar objects and active galactic nuclei, and it can be an effective way to locate transient sources without precise positional information such as gravitational wave sources or some gamma-ray bursts. In February 2017, we installed a 0.25 m f/3.6 telescope on the McDonald 0.8 m telescope as a piggyback system. With a $4k{\times}4k$ CCD camera, the telescope has a $2.35{\times}2.35deg$ field-of-view. Currently, it is equipped with Johnson UBVRI filters and 3 narrow-band filters: $H{\alpha}$, OIII and SII. We will present the installation process, and the telescope performance such as detection limit and image quality based on the data from commissioning observations. We will also discuss possible scientific projects with this system.

We present the optical design of Linear Astigmatism Free - Three Mirror System (LAF-TMS) D200 for UVO-Multiband Polarizing Imager System (UVOMPIS). LAF-TMS D200 is the off-axis wide-field telescope with EPD = 200 mm, F/2, and Field of View (FoV) = 2° × 4°. Its optical mirrors are optimized to freeform surfaces for high-quality optical performance over a wide FoV. The proposed mirror holder consists of four aluminum optomechanical modules that have applied for LAF-TMS D150 which is a prototype of the LAF-TMS system. It can accurately mount mirrors and also can sustain from vibration environments. As a feasibility study, quasi-static, modal, harmonic, and random vibration analyses have been performed to LAF-TMS D150 optomechanical structure under the qualification level of the Soyuz-2/Fregat launch system. We evaluate the vibration analysis results in terms of von Mises stress and Margin of Safety.

We have developed a miniature fisheye lens with $190^{\circ}$ field of view operating simultaneously in the visible and the near infrared wavelengths. The modulation transfer function characteristic for the visible wavelength is sufficient for a mega-pixel-grade image sensor. The lens also has a fair resolution in the infrared wavelength region. The calibrated $f-{\theta}$ distortion is less than 5%, and the relative illumination is over 90%. In consequence, a sharp wide-angle image can be obtained which is uniform in brightness over the entire range of field angles. The real image heights for the visible and the near infrared wavelengths have been fitted to polynomial functions of incidence angle with sub-pixel accuracies. Combined with the near equidistance projection scheme of the lens, this lens can be advantageously employed in various image-processing applications requiring a wide-angle lens.

180도 이상의 영역을 획득하는 어안렌즈(fisheye lens)는 최소의 카메라로 최대 시야각을 확보할 수 있는 장점으로 인해 차량 장착 시도가 늘고 있다. 이와 같이 어안렌즈를 통해 시야를 확보하고, 영상센서로 사용하기 위해서는 캘리브레이션 작업이 선행되어야 하며, 운전자에게 현실감 있는 영상을 제공하기 위해서는 이를 이용하여 방사왜곡(radial distortion)에 따른 기하학적인 왜곡 보정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 비대칭 왜곡을 가진 180도 이상 화각의 차량용 대각선 어안렌즈를 위해 영상 손실을 최소화하는 왜곡 보정 기법을 제안한다. 왜곡 보정은 왜곡 모델이 포함된 카메라 모델을 설정하고 캘리브레이션 과정을 통해 카메라 파라미터를 구한 후 왜곡이 보정된 뷰를 생성하는 과정으로 이루어진다. 먼저 왜곡모델로서 비선형의 왜곡 형상을 모방한 FOV(Field of View)모델을 사용한다. 또한 비대칭 왜곡렌즈의 경우 운전자의 좌우 시야각 확보에 중점을 두어 수직 화각보다 수평 화각이 크게 설계되었기 때문에 영상의 장축, 단축의 비율을 일치시킨 후 비선형 최적화 알고리즘을 사용하여 카메라 파라미터를 추정한다. 최종적으로 왜곡이 보정된 뷰 생성 시 역방향 사상과 함께 수평, 수직 방향에 대한 왜곡 보정 정도를 제어 가능하도록 함으로써 화각이 180도 이상인 영상에 대해서 핀홀 카메라 모델을 적용하여 2차원 평면으로 영상을 보정하는 경우 발생하는 영상 손실을 최소화하고 시각적 인지도를 높일 수 있도록 하였다.

An effective dual-mode camera system(a passive wide-angle camera and a pan-tilt-zoom camera) is proposed in order to improve the performance of visual surveillance. The fixed wide-angle camera is used to monitor large open areas, but the moving objects on the images are too small to view in detail. And, the PTZ camera is capable of increasing the monitoring area and enhancing the image quality by tracking and zooming in on a specific moving target. However, its FOV (Field of View) is limited when zooming in on a specific target. Therefore, the cooperation of wide-angle and PTZ cameras is complementary. In this paper, we propose an automatic initial set-up algorithm and coordinate transform method from the wide-angle camera coordinate to the PTZ one, which are necessary to achieve the cooperation. The automatic initial set-up algorithm is able to synchronize the views of two cameras. When a moving object appears on the image plane of a wide-angle camera after the initial set-up positioning, the obtained values of the wide-angle camera should be transformed to the PTZ values based on the coordinate transform method. We also develope the PTZ control method. Various in-door and out-door experiments show that the proposed dual-camera system is feasible for the effective visual surveillance.

High quality cathode with high deposition rate of thin films and long target life time is required for manufacturing TFT-LCD and semiconductor. We developed WV(wide view) sputtering cathode with wide erosion area and high deposition rate. Ti thin film thickness variation in WV cathode is below 5% for 380 kWh target life time. Al thin film thickness using normal cathode is decreased about 20%. By using WV cathode, target using efficiency was improved 40%. in comparison with normal cathode.

일반적인 동영상 스트리밍 시스템은 좁은 시각영역을 갖는 동영상을 원격의 사용자에게 제공한다. 서버 측에 팬/틸트(pan/tilt) 카메라를 부착한 시스템은 클라이언트가 카메라의 방향을 조작할 수 있도록 함으로써 보다 넓은 시각영역을 제공할 수 있다. 하지만, 하드웨어 팬/틸트 카메라를 이용한 스트리밍 시스템은 다수의 사용자가 동시에 접속할 경우, 모든 사용자에게 각자가 원하는 시점에서의 영상을 제공할 수 없으며, 카메라 이동에 의한 지연이 발생한다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 소프트웨어 팬/틸트 카메라를 구현하였으며, 이를 이용한 새로운 파노라마 동영상 스트리밍 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 넓은 시각영역을 가지는 파노라마 영상을 획득한 후, 각 사용자에게 원하는 부분영상을 제공함으로써 다수의 사용자에게 자유로운 시점 이동을 제공해 준다. 이때, 방대한 양의 파노라마 동영상을 원격의 사용자에게 전송하기 위해서는 효율적인 압축 방법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 전체 영상을 좁은 스트립 영상들로 분할하고, 클라이언트 측에서 원하는 시각영역에 해당하는 스트립 영상들만을 독립적으로 압축하는 적응성 스트립 압축 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 적응성 스트립 압축 기법을 사용하여 파노라마 동영상을 압축, 전송함으로써 사용자의 시각영역 변화 및 새로운 사용자의 접속에 빠르게 대응할 수 있으며 클라이언트 전송 시 데이터 양을 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있다.

The Intensive Monitoring Survey of Nearby Galaxies (IMSNG) is a high cadence observation program monitoring nearby galaxies at < 50 Mpc with high probabilities of hosting supernovae (SNe). The current number of main IMSNG targets is 60, but with new wide-field facilities joining IMSNG, there is a possibility of increasing the likelihood of catching the early light curves of SNe among galaxies in the vicinity of the main targets. To test the feasibility of the expansion of the sample galaxies, we examine how much the probability of catching SNe increases by adjusting the field of view of the RASA36 telescope which is one of the IMSNG facilities with a large field of view of 6.25 deg2. We calculate supernova rates (SNRs) of galaxies within the FoV that contains main IMSNG galaxies from the stellar mass and star formation rate of the galaxies. Based on the SNRs of these galaxies, we find the best pointing of the telescope towards the highest SNR region. As a result, we present improved total SNR, with respect to the ordinary pointing on average where the IMSNG main target is placed at the center of FoV. The actual observation should be followed to test the effect of this strategy.
