There has been much advancement in the field of aerial cameras for geographical features with the help of drones, image processing power and computer aided optical programs. In this study, we propose a new optical lens design technique which minimizes the amount of ‘the third order Seidel aberration’ for enhancing MTF. In addition, we suggest a new optical lens design which stabilizes the mass-production yield through R.S.M and has robustness secure through the Taguchi method. Eventually, the image processing algorithm of stereo matching is implemented in order to evaluate whether the proposed lens design result meets adequate specifications for the use of dual aerial photographs or not. This paper provides good guidance for the optical design by development of experiments.

An off-axis system refers to an optical system in which the optical axis and normal vector at the vertex of each surface do not match. The most important specification in an optical system is its focal length. Among the various methods for measuring the focal length, the most suitable method for the off-axis system is the method that adopts magnification. However, head-mounted display (HMD) optics must be measured while considering the virtual image distance, which is not infinity owing to product characteristics. For the virtual image distance, a camera with a focusing function was used. By measuring HMD optics via this magnification method, the error generated in this measurement was 0.68% of the HMD's focal length, which is within the 1%-3% range of the conventionally permitted design error for the focal length allowed at the optical design stage. Therefore, it can be verified that the measurement accuracy of the method proposed in this study is sufficiently feasible in practice.

An image encryption scheme based on the quick response (QR) code as a data container has aroused wide interest due to the lossless recovery of the decrypted image. In this paper, we apply this method to multi-image encryption. However, since the decrypted image is affected by crosstalk noise, the number of multi-image encryptions is severely limited. To solve this problem, we analyzed the performance of QR code as a data container, and processed the decrypted QR code using the proposed method, so that the number of multi-image encryptions is effectively increased. Finally, we implemented a large image (256 × 256) encryption and decryption.

A microlens array has been required to improve light conversion efficiency in image sensors. A microlens array can be usually fabricated by photoresist reflow, hot-embossing, micro injection molding, and UV-imprinting. Among these processes, a UV-imprinting, which is operated at room temperature with relatively low applied pressure, can be a desirable process to integrate microlens array on image sensors, because this process provides the components with low thermal expansion, enhanced stability, and low birefringence, furthermore, it is more suitable for mass production of high quality microlens array. In this study, to analyze the optical properties of the wafer scale microlens array integrated image sensor, another wafer scale simulated image sensor chip array was designed and fabricated. An aspherical square microlens was designed and integrated on a simulated image sensor chip array using a UV-imprinting process. Finally, the optical performances were measured and analyzed.

In an integral-imaging microscopy (IIM) system, a microlens array (MLA) is the primary optical element; however, surface errors impede the resolution of a raw image's details. Calibration is a major concern with regard to incorrect projection of the light rays. A ray-tracing-based calibration method for an IIM camera is proposed, to address four errors: MLA decentering, rotational, translational, and subimage-scaling errors. All of these parameters are evaluated using the reference image obtained from the ray-traced white image. The areas and center points of the microlens are estimated using an "8-connected" and a "center-of-gravity" method respectively. The proposed approach significantly improves the rectified-image quality and nonlinear image brightness for an IIM system. Numerical and optical experiments on multiple real objects demonstrate the robustness and effectiveness of our proposed method, which achieves on average a 35% improvement in brightness for an IIM raw image.

To measure the flow velocity and direction in the near field of an unmanned underwater vehicle, an optical measurement unit containing an image sensor and a phosphor-integrated pillar that mimics the neuromasts of a fish was constructed. To analyze pillar movement, which changes with fluid flow, fluorescence image analysis was conducted. To analyze the flow velocity, mean force analysis, which could determine the relationship between the light intensity of a fluorescence image and an external force, and length-force analysis, which could determine the distance between the center points of two fluorescence images, were employed. Additionally, angle analysis that can determine the angles at which pixels of a digital image change was selected to analyze the direction of fluid flow. The flow velocity analysis results showed a high correlation of 0.977 between the external force and the light intensity of the fluorescence image, and in the case of direction analysis, omnidirectional movement could be analyzed. Through this study, we confirmed the effectiveness of optical flow sensors equipped with phosphor-integrated pillars.

In this paper, we designed binary phase grating with SA (simulated annealing) algorithm for image generation, and used LCTV(liquid crystal television) as phase modulator. We generated optical image using LCTV which controlled by personal computer in real time. Many parameters in SA algorithm are determined by average deviation of the cost function, not experimental method. It was confirmed that the LCTV could be used as a phase modulator through mach-zehnder interferometering experiment. The various optical images are generated in real itme by fourier transforming of the phase gratings on LCTV which is controlled by personal computer and they can be used for optical interconnection in a neural network and addressing information in a volume hologram etc.

한의학, 진단학에서 사용되는 홍채 촬영용 광학계를 설계 제작해 보았다. 전체 구성은 광원부, 결상광학계, 촬상구동부, 진단 S/W로 되어있다. 결상광학계는 FD60, BACD5의 재질로 색수차를 제거한 0.58X배의 축소광학계로 설계하였다. 결상광학계의 국산화는 제품 전체의 원가절감에 큰 기여를 하게 되었다. 제작되어진 촬영장치는 외국제품과 비교해 볼 때 영상의 입체감에서 우수한 성능을 가직 가지게 되었다.

본 논문에서는 컴퓨터와 리소그라피를 이용하여 암호화된 두 개의 위상카드를 제작하고, 마흐-젠더 간섭계를 이용하여 암호화된 이진영상을 복호화하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이때 두 위상카드 중 하나는 기준 영상으로 사용되고 다른 하나는 암호 영상으로 사용된다. 하나의 랜덤 위상 카드를 기준 영상으로 두고 암호화하고자 하는 영상에 맞게 빛의 간섭 현상을 이용하여 암호 영상으로 사용될 위상 카드를 제작하였다. 원 영상의 복원은 경로차가 같도록 구성한 마흐-젠더 간섭계의 두 경로에 기준 영상과 암호 영상을 위치시켜 간섭시킴으로써 영상을 복원할 수 있다. 위상 카드는 광세기 검출기로 볼 수 없을 뿐만 아니라 복제할 수도 없어서 개인 정보보호 및 인증시스템에 매우 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 간단한 영상에 대한 광실험을 통하여 제안한 시스템의 타당성을 확인하였다.
