In this study, a visual sensor system which can detect I-butt weld joint with height variation and includes a seam tracking algorithm was investigated. Three-dimensional position of an object can be acquired by using the method of distance measurement, i.e., an optical trigonometry which results from the spatial relations between the camera, the object and the structured light by a visible laser. Effects of laser intensity and iris number for the image quality as well as object material were investigated for the optical system design. For the image processing, a region of interest is defined from the whole image and a line image of laser is drew by using the gray level difference in the image. From the drew laser line, the weld joint can be recognized in searching the biggest point position calculated from the central difference method. Through a series of welding experiments, a good tracking performance was confirmed under GMA welding.

망막 촬영 및 다채널 고속 영상 획득 시스템을 개발하였다. 망막 두께 측정은 망막을 3차원으로 촬영하고 고속으로 신호처리를 할 수 있는 시스템을 요구한다. 망막에 레이저를 투사한 후에 반사되어 돌아오는 레이저의 양을 array photo diode를 이용하여 감지하며 이를 3차원 영상화하여 망막의 두께를 측정할 수 있다. 망막에 레이저를 투사하는 장치, APD 광센서를 이용한 망막 영상화 장치, 다채널 고속 A/D 변환장치 및 PCI 인터페이스를 개발하였다. polygon mirror와 galvano mirror를 이용하여 HeNe 레이저 빔을 각각 수평방향과 수직방향으로 주사하여 이미지 평면을 만들어 망막에 투사하였다. APD 어레이 광센서를 이용하여 각 층별로 나타나는 망막영상을 획득하였으며, 이를 실시간으로 A/D 변환하여 PCI 버스를 통해 컴퓨터로 전송하였다.

The best method of measuring wood diameter is a contact-type device: however, obtaining an accurate result can be problematic under certain circumstances. In this study, we used a laser beam and a CCD camera that did not require contact with wood. The wood is illuminated by the laser beam, and the CCD camera captures this illumination. The measurement results were determined by processing of the captured image sequences. This paper explains the use of image processing and laser systems for measurement of wood under circumstances in which physical contact is impossible.

In this study an active vision system using a laser range finder is proposed for the navigation of a mobile robot in unknown environment. The laser range finder consists of a slitted laser beam generator, a scanning mechanism, CCD camera, and a signal processing unit. A laser beam from laser source is slitted by a set of cylindrical lenses and the slitted laser beam is emitted up and down and rotates around the robot by the scanning mechanism. The image of laser beam reflected on the surface of an object is engraved on the CCD array. A high speed image processing algorithm is proposed for the real-time navigation of the mobile robot. Through experiments it is proved that the accurate and real-time recognition of environment is able to be realized using the proposed laser range finder.

In this study, a visual sensor system for weld seam tracking the I-butt weld joints in GMA welding was constructed. The sensor system consists of a CCD camera, a diode laser with a cylindrical lens and a band-pass-filter to overcome the degrading of image due to spatters and arc light. In order to obtain the enhanced image, quantitative relationship between laser intensity and iris opening was investigated. Throughout the repeated experiments, the shutter speed was set at 1/1000 second for minimizing the effect of spatters on the image, and therefore the image without the spatter traces could be obtained. Region of interest was defined from the entire image and gray level of the searched laser stripe was compared to that of weld line. The differences between these gray levels lead to spot the position of weld joint using central difference method. The results showed that, as long as weld line is within $\pm15^{o}$ from the longitudinal straight line, the system constructed in this study could track the weld line successfully. Since the processing time is no longer than 0.05 sec, it is expected that the developed method could be adopted to high speed welding such as laser welding.

Laser processing using holograms can greatly improve processing speed, by spatially distributing the laser energy on the target material. However, it is difficult to reconstruct an image with arrays of closely spaced spots for laser processing, because the specklelike interference pattern prevents the spots from getting close to each other. To resolve this problem, a line target was divided in two, reconstructed with orthogonally polarized beams, and then superposed. Their optical reconstruction was performed by computer-generated holograms and a pulsed laser. With this method, we performed two-dimensional (2D) laser drilling of polyimide film, with a kerf width of $20{\mu}m$ and a total processing length of 20 mm.

간섭성을 가진 레이저 빛을 산란체에 주사하였을 때 반사되는 정보의 간섭현상에 의해 생기는 불규칙한 무늬를 레이저 스펙클이라 한다. 레이저 스펙클 시스템은 동물의 특정부분의 기능적인 측면 관찰이 가능하고, 상대적으로 저렴하고 간단한 시스템으로 구성된다. 레이저 스펙클 시스템의 가장 큰 특징은 스펙클 이미지를 영상처리 과정을 통해 미세혈관 관찰이 가능하다는 것이다. 기존의 연구는 주로 영상처리를 통한 화질개선에 대해 연구가 많이 진행되었지만 본 논문에서는 레이저 스펙클 시스템을 소형화 하여 상용화시키기 위한 단계로서 레이저 스펙클 내시경을 제작하였다. 제작된 내시경의 성능테스트를 위해 동물실험으로 성능을 입증할 것이다. 피실험체로서 꼬리부분에 미세혈관을 가진 금붕어를 사용하였고 일반 자연광 이미지와 영상처리된 스펙클 이미지를 비교함으로써 내시경 시스템의 가능성을 보일 것이다.

Flame propagation in a four-valve spark-ignition optical engine was visualized under lean-bum conditions with A/F=18 at 2000rpm. The early flame development in a four-valve pentroof-chamber single-cylinder engine was examined with imaging of the laser-induced Mie scattered light using an image-intensified CCD camera. Flame profiles along the line-of-sight were also visualized through a quartz piston window. Two-dimensional flame structures were visualized with a Proxitronic HF-1 fast motion camera system by Mie scattering from titanium dioxide particles along a planar laser sheet generated by a copper vapor laser. The flame propagation images were subsequently analysed with an image processing programme to obtain information about the flame structure under different tumble flow conditions generated by sleeved and non-sleeved intake ports. This allowed enhancement of the flame images and calculation of the enflamed area, and the displacement of its center, as a function of the tumble flow induced by the pentroof-chamber in the vicinity of spark plug. Image processing of the early flame development quantified the correlation between flame and flow characteristics near the spark plug at the time of ignition which has been known to be one of the most important factors in cyclic combustion variations in lean-burn engines. The results were also compared with direct flame images obtained from the natural flame luminosity of the lean mixture.

There are several problems in the conventional 2-D image processing and 3-D measurement systems. In the case of the 2-D image processing system, it is not possible to detect elevation data. In a 3-D measurement system, it requires a skillful operator and a lot of time for measuring data. Also, there exist data errors depending on operators. The limitation of detecting elevation data in the 2-D image processing system can be solved by laser diodes. In this study an algorithm that measures the accurate data in a subject face to be detected by combining laser diodes and a commercial CCD camera is developed. In the development process, a planar equation is developed using laser diodes and the equation is used to obtain a normal vector. Based on the results, an algorithm that transforms commercial CCD camera coordinates to 3-D coordinates is proposed. The completed measurement method will be applied to replace a manual measurement system for vehicle bodies and parts by an automated system.
