In this paper, we propose a high-resolution disparity map generation method using a low-resolution time-of-flight (TOF) depth camera and color camera. The TOF depth camera is efficient since it measures the range information of objects using the infra-red (IR) signal in real-time. It also quantizes the range information and provides the depth image. However, there are some problems of the TOF depth camera, such as noise and lens distortion. Moreover, the output resolution of the TOF depth camera is too small for 3D applications. Therefore, it is essential to not only reduce the noise and distortion but also enlarge the output resolution of the TOF depth image. Our proposed method generates a depth map for a color image using the TOF camera and the color camera simultaneously. We warp the depth value at each pixel to the color image position. The color image is segmented using the mean-shift segmentation method. We define a cost function that consists of color values and segmented color values. We apply a weighted average filter whose weighting factor is defined by the random walk probability using the defined cost function of the block. Experimental results show that the proposed method generates the depth map efficiently and we can reconstruct good virtual view images.

In this study, engineering grade and high intensity reflective sheets were prepared with glass beads and their reflection performance and physical properties were investigated. The reflective sheets prepared by using glass beads are divided into enclosed or encapsulated lens type, depending on whether the glass beads are open in air or not. Because of an extra layer on the glass bead surface, the enclosed lens type reflective sheets show very little change in the properties by bad weather conditions, compared to encapsulated lens type reflective sheets. Optimization of the amount of glass beads on the surface was carried out, which determines the retroreflective properties. Enclosed and encapsulated lens type reflective sheets with various colors were prepared and their coefficients of retroreflection were determined. The encapsulated type reflective sheet with white color shows a coefficient of retroreflection of $210.4cd/1x{\cdot}m^2$, which is higher than the enclosed type ($74cd/1x{\cdot}m^2$). Effect of washing on the reflective property and adhesive power of the reflective sheets was investigated, and it is found that the number of glass beads decreased with washing and the aluminum layer deposited was damaged extensively in the encapsulated lens type reflective sheets.

Holography technology which was developed by Dennis Gabor (1900~1979) in 1948 is a technology to record wave planes of actual 3D objects. It is known as the only technology which can express 3D information most perfectly close to human-friendly. Holography technology is widely used in advertisement, architecture and arts as well as science technology areas. Especially, digital holographic print which is an applied area is greatly used in military map, architecture map and cultural asset restoration by printing and reproducing 3D information. Holography is realized by recording and reproducing the amplitude and phase information on high resolution film using coherent light like laser. Recording materials for digital holographic printer are silver halide, photoresist and photopolymer. Because the materials have different diffraction efficiency according to film characteristics of each manufacturer, appropriate guide lines should be suggested through efficiency analysis of each film. This paper suggests appropriate guide lines through the diffraction efficiency measurement of silver halide which is a holographic printer recording medium. And the objective of this study is to suggest appropriate guide lines through diffraction efficiency analysis of Ultimate 08-C and PFG-03C which are commercially used. The experiment was prepared by self-diffraction efficiency system which measures the strength with the defector by penetrating RGB recording medium and concentrating diffracted beams through collimating lens. The experiment showed Geola's PFG-03C which is a silver halide for full color has price/performance advantage in optical hologram recording, but recording angles and reproduction angles are irregular for digital holographic printer recording. Ultimate's Ultimate08-C for full color shows its diffraction efficiency is relatively stable and high according to recording angles and laser wavelength.

This paper presents a low-complexity barrel distortion correction processor for wide-angle cameras. The proposed processor performs the barrel distortion correction jointly with the color demosaicking, so that the hardware complexity can be reduced significantly. In addition, to reduce the required memory bandwidth, an efficient memory interface is proposed by utilizing the spatial locality of the memory access in the correction process. The proposed processor is implemented with 35K logic gates in a $0.11-{\mu}m$ CMOS process and its correction speed is 150 Mpixels/s at the operating frequency of 606MHz, where the supported frame size is $2048{\times}2048$ and the required memory bandwidth is 1 read/cycle.

본 연구는 착색렌즈의 광투과율에 따른 명소시 대비감도의 변화를 분석하여 색렌즈를 착용할 때 색상에 따른 적절한 광투과율 기준을 제시하고자 하였다. 정상 시기능을 가진 남자 24명과 여자 13명을 대상으로, 광투과율 80~90%, 60~80%, 43~60%, 30~43%로 착색된 4개의 색렌즈(회색, 갈색, 적색, 녹색)를 순서대로 착용시키고 F.A.C.T. 시표를 이용하여 대비감도 검사를 실시하였다. 검사 결과, 광투과율이 감소될수록 대비감도는 감소되었고, 시감도는 갈색이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났고, 반대로 적색이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 대비감도 검사결과를 고려한 색상별 권장 광투과율은 갈색, 회색과 녹색 38% 이상, 적색 52% 이상인 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들로 보아 일상생활에서 눈을 보호할 목적으로 색렌즈를 선택할 때 색상과 그 색상에 적절한 광투과율이 고려되어야 한다.

The Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera combined with a small aperture telescope is an efficient equipment for an astronomy-related lab exercise. This paper compares the different photometry softwares to provide insights on using the GUI-based photometry tool to the conventional command-line based photometry tool. The magnitude of the same point source measured within the aperture is consistent regardless of the software used although the background estimation, partial pixel treatment, and error estimation are slightly different. In a crowded field image where the aperture photometry is less reliable, the aperture photometry with varying aperture size is useful to see the qualitative trend for the magnitude. Due to the variation in ISO settings and the color dependence on the RGB Bayer system, an initial uncertainty of ~0.15mag is expected to be embedded in the magnitude derived from the DSLR images.

This paper presents an image fingerprinting scheme for the print-to-capture model performed by a photo printer and digital camera. When capturing an image by a digital camera, various kinds of distortions such as noise, geometrical distortions, and lens distortions are applied. slightly and simultaneously. In this paper, we consider several steps to extract fingerprints from the distorted image in print-and capture scenario. To embed ID into an image as a fingerprint, multi-bits embedding is applied. We embed 64 bits information as a fingerprint into spatial domain of color images. In order to restore a captured image from distortions a noise reduction filter is performed and a rectilinear tiling pattern is used as a template. To make the template, a multi-bits fingerprint is embedded repeatedly like a tiling pattern. We show that the extracting is successful from the image captured by a digital camera through the experiment.

According to depth cues of an image, the optical engine of the solid volumetric true 3D display can project a sequence of slices of a 2D image to corresponding display at a set of liquid shutters (LC) locating at different depth. A single DLP optical engine developed for a solid volumetric true 3D display consists of a lamp, reflector, color wheel, hollow integrator, relays, DMD, and projection lens. The simulation results show that the optical engine designed for single DLP volumetric true 3D display satisfies the requirements.

Recently, Plastic optical products are widely used. Injection molding process has advantages of low cost and high productivity. However, it remains a residual birefringence and residual stress by difference cooling. The present study focused on measuring birefringence in optical plastic parts using interference color pattern. The main idea of an analysis comes from chromatic aberration which is caused by difference light wavelengths. As a result, a complete system measuring the high order 2-D birefringence pattern was built. Further investigation is under way to improve the accuracy of birefringence measurement system by diode laser.
