Nowadays, the improvement and development of Multi-media, information and communication technology are rapidly processed. And many products, for example, digital camera, digital camcorder, and PDA, are used for them. They need large data storage capacity and small size, light storage system. Due to that, many studies and researches in data storage system have been carried out. Especially, micro drive system was presented by IBM.(1) However, its system is expensive and uneasy to be portable. In ODD technologies, 1 inch drive system is not yet or in processing status.(2) If to be possible and to be come up, it is cheap than HDD system and easy to transfer information. In this paper, a miniaturized actuator(about linch) is designed and tested for ODD system. Specially, it is adapted for NFR(Near-field Recoding) system using SIL(Solid Immersion Lens). It is the dual-servo actuator which consists of a coarse actuator and fine actuator. Its actuating force generation method is VCM(Voice Ceil Motor). The fine actuator has 4-wire suspensions and bobbin wrapped by coil and includes focusing motion as well as tracking motion. The coarse actuator has an actuating coil and V-grooved guide mechanism. Also, the characteristics of the designed actuator is estimated by sine-swept mode and LDV(Laser Doppler Vibro-meter).

Development of an automatic TIG welding system incorporating a vision sensor and torch control mechanism leads to an improved welding quality and greater production efficiency. The automatic welding system should be greatly restricted in its size and weight for the LNG(Liquefied Natural Gas) storage tank and also provide a unique torch rotating mechanism which keeps the torch tip in the constant position while the angle is changed continuously to maintain the welding torch substantially perpendicular to the weld line. The developed system is driven by two translation axes X, Z and one rotational axis. A moving line window method is adopted to the image recognition of the corrugated membranes with specular reflection. This method decides original laser stripe patterns in image which is affected by multi-reflection. A self-teaching algorithm, which guides the automatic welding machine with the information provided by the CCD camera without any previous learning of a reference trajectory, was developed for tracking the corrugated membrane of the LNG tank along the weld line.

KOMPSAT -2 equipped with an optical telescope(MSC) will be launched in this year. It can take images of the earth with push-broom scanning at altitude 685Km. Its resolution is 1m in panchromatic channel with a swath width of 15 km After the MSC is tested and the performance is measured at instrument level, it is installed on satellite. The image passes through the electro-optical system, compression and storage unit and fmally downlink sub-systems. This integration procedure necessitates the functional test of all subsystems participating in the image chain. The objective of functional test at satellite level(Quick Look test) is to check the functionality of image chain by real target image. Collimated moving image is input to the EOS in order to simulate the operational environments as if KOMPSAT -2 is being operated in orbit. The image chain from EOS to data downlink subsystem will be verified through Quick Look test. This paper explains the Quick Look test of KOMPSAT -2 and compares the taken images with collimated input ones.

In the development of a electronic system for a optical payload comprising mainly EOS(Electro-Optical Sub-system) and PDTS(Payload Data Transmission Sub-system), many aspects should be investigated and discussed for the easy implementation, for th e higher reliability of operation and for the effective ness in cost, size and weight as well as for the secure interface with components of a satellite bus, etc. As important aspects the interfaces between a satellite bus and a payload, and some design features of the CEU(Camera Electronics Unit) inside the payload are described in this paper. Interfaces between a satellite bus and a payload depend considerably on whether t he payload carries the PMU(Payload Management Un it), which functions as main controller of the Payload, or not. With the PMU inside the payload, EOS and PDTS control is performed through the PMU keep ing the least interfaces of control signals and primary power lines, while the EOS and PDTS control is performed directly by the satellite bus components using relatively many control signals when no PMU exists inside the payload. For the CEU design the output channel configurations of panchromatic and multi-spectral bands including the video image data inter face between EOS and PDTS are described conceptually. The timing information control which is also important and necessary to interpret the received image data is described.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate spray characteristics of GDI injector that is economic and environment-friendly. Injector characteristics such as penetration length, spray angle and mixture formation were measured using experimental visualization technique. Especially, it has been analyzed that the influences of ambient pressure and injection pressure on penetration length and spray angle. To visualize the spray, a constant volume combustion chamber and fuel supply system have been manufactured. A high-speed camera and LED light source have been applied to obtain spray images. The experimental and visualization result shows that the penetration length is increased as decreasing ambient pressure and/or increasing injection pressure. Also, ambient pressure and injection pressure have minor effect on the spray angle variation.

Many AR (Augmented Reality) applications have been interested in a marker-less tracking since the tracking methods give camera poses without attaching explicit markers. In this paper, we propose a new marker-less page recognition and tracking algorithm for an AR book application such as DigilogBook. The proposed method only requires orthogonal images of pages, which need not to be trained for a long time, and the algorithm works in real-time. The page recognition is done in two steps by using SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) descriptors and the comparison evaluation function. And also, the method provides real-time tracking with 25fps ~ 30fps by separating the page recognition and the frame-to-frame matching into two multi-cores. The proposed algorithm will be extended to various AR applications that require multiple objects tracking.

기존의 멀티 카메라 시스템은 넓은 영역을 커버하거나 이동 중인 물체를 트래킹 하기 위한 목적으로 주로 사용되어 왔다. 하지만 이러한 시스템은 하나의 카메라가 커버하는 영상이 가려지면 정보를 잃게 되는 단점이 있다. 멀티 카메라 시스템은 하나의 영역을 여러 카메라가 커버하도록 하여 이런 단점을 극복할 수 있다. 또한 다양한 시점의 카메라에서 수집되는 영상의 경우, 영상에 따라 담고 있는 정보가 다르므로 여러 카메라의 입력 정보를 함께 활용하여 보다 많은 정보를 얻을 수도 있다. 본 논문은 이런 장점을 활용하여 멀티 카메라 환경에서의 이벤트 인식 문제를 다룬다. 이를 위해 사무실 환경에 8대의 카메라를 설치하였으며, 시나리오에 따라 영상을 수집하였다. 수집된 영상은 전문가에 의해 어노테이션 된 후 인식 모델의 학습에 사용되며, 학습된 베이지안 네트워크 모델의 구조와 파라미터를 도메인 지식에 기반해서 수정하여 최종 이벤트 인식 모델을 설계하였다. 실험 결과 제안하는 이벤트 인식 모델의 인식률은 평균 87.0%로 Naive Bayes보다 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

The Multi-Spectral Camera (MSC) is the payload of KOMPSAT-2 which is designed for earth imaging in optical and near-infrared region on a sun-synchronous orbit. The telescope in the MSC is a Ritchey-Chretien type with large aperture. The telescope structure should be well stabilized and the optical alignment should be kept steady so that best images can be achieved. However, the MSC is exposed to adverse thermal environment on the orbit which can give impacts on optical performance. Solar incidence can bring non-uniform temperature rise on the telescope tube which entails unfavorable thermal distortion. Three ways of preventing the solar radiation were proposed, which were installing external mechanical shield, internal shield, and maneuvering the spacecraft. After trade-off study, internal sun shield was selected as a practical and optimal solution to minimize the effect of the solar radiation. In addition, detailed designs of the structure and sunshield were produced and analyses have been performed. The results were assessed to verify their impacts to the image quality. It was confirmed that the internal sunshield complies with the requirements and would improve image quality.

Synthetic aperture integral imaging is one of promising 3D imaging techniques to capture the high-resolution elemental images using multiple cameras. In this paper, we propose a method of displaying 3D images in space using the synthetic aperture integral imaging technique. Since the elemental images captured from SAII cannot be directly used to display 3D images in an integral imaging display system, we first extract the depth map from elemental images and then transform them to novel elemental images for 3D image display. The newly generated elemental images are displayed on a display panel to generate 3D images in space. To show the usefulness of the proposed method, we carry out the preliminary experiments using a 3D toy object and present the experimental results.
