In order to produce high-quality optical components, aspheric lenses have been widely applied in recent years. An aspheric lens consists of aspheric surfaces instead of spherical ones, which causes difficulty in the design process as well as the manufacturing procedure. Although injection molding is widely used to fabricate optical lenses owing to its high productivity, there remains lots of difficulty to determine appropriate mold design factors and injection molding parameters. In the injection molding fields, computer simulation has been effectively applied to analyze processes based on the shell analysis so far. Considering the geometry of optical lenses, a full-3d simulation based on solid elements has been reported as a reliable approach. The present work covers three-dimensional injection molding simulation and relevant deformation analysis of an injection molded plastic lens based on 3d solid elements. Numerical analyses have been applied to the injection molding processes of three aspheric lenses for an image sensing module of a mobile phone. The reliability of the proposed approach has been verified in comparison with the experimental results.

The purpose of this research is to enhance the luminance of the LED and to improve the implementation of color by mounting an array lens on the LED without special technology in process. The workmanship of key components considering the economical efficiency and the injection molding technology for high quality of the product are essential to achieve it. In this paper, the mold was computer-aided was designed and manufactured by CAM software (NX4) and high speed machining center. the applied final machining conditions were 3,000-5,000mm/min feed speed, 15,000-25,000rpm and ${\Phi}0.3mm$ ball end-mill. And the Flow analysis was performed using the mold flow software(MPI) in order to get uniformity of resin. Injection conditions acquired by the flow analysis and the injection experiment are as follows. The cylinder temperature is $220-260^{\circ}C$, the mold temperature is $70-80^{\circ}C$, the injection time is about 1.2sec, the injection pressure and velocity is each 7.8-14.7Mpa, and the injection velocity is 0.8-1.2m/sec.

An experimental investigation with 2.8kW Nd:YAG laser system was carried out to study the effects of different laser process parameters on the microstructure and hardness of STD11. The optical lens with the elliptical profile are designed to obtain a wide surface hardening area with uniform hardness. The Laser beam is allowed to scan on the surface of the work piece varying the power (1600, 1800 and 1900kW) and traverse speed (200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000mm/min) at three different F-numbers of lens. After laser surface treatment three zones, In the microstructure have been observed : melted zone(decarburization), heat affected zone(martensite), and the substrate.

While SVD and Gaussian elimination method were applied to the additive damped least squares(DLS), the convergence and the stability of the optimization process were examined in a triplet-type camera lens-system where the condition number is well conditioned. DLS with SVD method generated a suitable merit function but this merit function may be trapped in a local minimum by the nonlinearity of error function. Therefore, the least camera lens-system was further designed by the global optimization method is grid method, and this method is adopted to get merit function that convergent to global minimum without local minimum trapping.

Many automobile manufacturers are doing experiment on manufacturing environments by using an augmented reality technology. However, system layout and process simulation by using the virtual reality technology have been performed actively more than by using the augmented reality technology in practical use so far. Existing automobile assembly by using the augmented reality requires the precise calibrating work after setting the robot because the existing augmented reality system for the automobile assembly system configuration does not include the end tip deflection and the robot joints deflection due to the heavy weight of product and gripper. Because the robot is used mostly at the automobile assembly, the deflection problem of the robot joint and the product in the existing augmented reality system need to be improved. Moreover camera lens calibration has to be performed precisely to use augmented reality. In order to improve this problem, this paper introduces a method of the software based calibration to apply the augmented reality effectively to the automobile assembly system. On the other hand, the camera lens calibration module and the direct compensation module of the virtual object displacement for the augmented reality were designed and implemented. Furthermore, the developed automobile assembly system oriented AR-system was verified by the practical test.

Phone camera lens module is assembled with a barrel, multiple lenses, multiple spacers and a shield. The major processes of manufacturing system are injection molding, coating and assembly processes, and each process has multiple machines. In this paper, we introduce a scheduler based on simulation model which can be used for frequent rescheduling problem caused by urgent orders, breaking down of molds and failures of machines. The scheduling algorithm uses heuristic Backward-Forward method, and the objective is to minimize the number of tardy orders.

The CQUEAN (Camera for QUasars in EArly uNiverse) is an optical CCD camera optimized for the observation of high redshift QSOs to understand the nature of early universe. The focal reducer, which is composed of four spherical lens, is allowed to secure a wider field of view for CQUEAN, by reducing the focal length of the system by one third. We designed the lens configuration, the lens barrel, and the adapters to assemble to attach focal reducer to the CCD camera system. We performed tolerance analysis using ZEMAX. The manufacturing of the focal reducer system and its lab test of optical performance were already finished. It turned out that the performance can meet the original requirement, with the aberration and alignment error taken into account. We successfully attached the focal reducer and CQUEAN to the cassegrain focus of 2.1m telescope at McDonald Observatory, USA, and several tests of CQUEAN system were carried out. In this presentation, I will show the process of focal reducer fabrication and the result of performance test.

This paper describes techniques of camera calibration and artificial landmarks detection for the automatic charging of a mobile robot, equipped with a fish-eye camera in the direction of its operation for movement or surveillance purposes. For its identification from the surrounding environments, three landmarks employed with infrared LEDs, were installed at the charging station. When the robot reaches a certain point, a signal is sent to the LEDs for activation, which allows the robot to easily detect the landmarks using its vision camera. To eliminate the effects of the outside light interference during the process, a difference image was generated by comparing the two images taken when the LEDs are on and off respectively. A fish-eye lens was used for the vision camera of the robot but the wide-angle lens resulted in a significant image distortion. The radial lens distortion was corrected after linear perspective projection transformation based on the pin-hole model. In the experiment, the designed system showed sensing accuracy of ${\pm}10$ mm in position and ${\pm}1^{\circ}$ in orientation at the distance of 550 mm.

The most common method of pipeline inspection is to use a remote-controlled-machine equipped with a CCTV, which, however, has many limitations to accurately inspect pipeline condition. In case of a typical CCTV, since the camera looks at the end point of the pipe, the locations of the defects and distance-readings are often different. In addition, the quality and accuracy of the inspection is highly dependent on the operator's skill and experience. In this research a new system is developed by use of the image processing techniques and the lens combination. The image acquisition system is developed that acquires the front and the side view of the pipe simultaneously. Side view unwrapping and stitching technology using image process techniques are developed which delivers high resolution image data.
