The point spread function (PSF) of an optical system is in general defined as a two-dimensional intensity distribution which results from a single point source at infinity. It is an important key for the evaluation of the optical performance of an astronomical telescope. The PSFs of the soft X-ray telescope (SXT) aboard Yohkoh were measured in a wide range of the field-of-view under the in-flight configuration at White Sands Missile Range prior to launching the satellite. It has been known that the SXT PSF has a sharp peak at the core and the intensity drops very fast as it goes distant from the center. Due to the combination of this sharp peak at the PSF core and the effect of undersampling by a large pixel size, a carefully designed method is requested in the examination of the PSF data. The pattern of the SXT PSF is determined by the fitting of a mathematical functional form to the pre-launch experimental data. The elliptical Moffat function has been adopted for the evaluation of the SXT PSF. It is revealed from our study that the SXT PSF shows a peculiar characteristics, and thus a careful consideration on the undersampling effect and also a proper choice of statistics are necessary for the determination of the best fit function of the PSF. Details on the on- and off-axis SXT PSF in the field-of-view will be introduced and discussed in our presentation.

인간의 시각체계는 영상의 밝기의 정도가 균일한 연에서는 잡음에 민감하지만, 변화하는 부분에서는 에지(edge)의 정도가 심할수록 잡음에 둔감하고, 에지부분에서 멀어질수록 잡음에 대한 민감도가 급격하게 증가한다. 이러한 인간의 시각 특성에 기반을 둔 여러가지 영상복원 방식이 제안되고 있는데, 본 논문에서는 영상을 복원함에 있어서 윤곽 부분에서는 변화하는 부분의 선명도를 높이고, 영상이 평탄한 부분에서는 잡음 성분을 많이 억제 시켜서 영상을 주관적으로 향상시키는 적응적 영상복원 방식을 소개한다. 이 방법은 에지 검출을 하기 위해서 각 화소를 기준으로 지역 분산값(local variance)을 사용하여 시각 함수(visibility function)를 구하고, 이 값에 따라 정규화 매개변수를 변환시켜 적응적으로 영상을 복원한다. 즉 영상을 평탄한 부분에서 에지부분까지 몇 단계로 나누어서 각각의 단계에 해당하는 유한 임펄스 CLS 필터를 구현해서 영상을 복원한다.

From the Beckmann's reflection model of wave incident, reflected light from a surface is known to have not only specular but also diffuse components. The specular component dominant a surface for a mirror-like surface is distributed on the almost the same area as the spot on the surface, but the diffuse component region dominant f3r a rough surface spreads scattered on the larger areas than the spot. Therefore, statistic parameters from the scattered light distribution are more meaningful in the diffuse region, while the magnitude of rather meaning in the specular region. In usual, there need two sensors to acquire two kinds of information: Photo-detector for light intensity magnitude and image sensor for light intensity distribution. But dual sensor scheme requires a beam splitter usually to feed light to each sensor, and moreover there is not a combination rule to relieve the different sensor characteristics. In this study a new method is proposed for acquisition of the dual information using only an image sensor. Specular region is established on an image area being distinguished from a diffuse component, and laser power is adjusted so that no pixel of the image sensor in the specular region is saturated. Simulation based on the light reflection theory and the experimental results are quite well matched, and thus the proposed method was proved to be very useful for mirror-like surface measurement.

High intensity of population distribution in deltaic setting especially in Asia tends to have increased and causes coastal flood risk due to lower elevations and significant subsidence. Maximum or peak discharge of flood always causes numerous deaths and huge economic losses. New technology of spatial satellite image has been applied to analyze flood damage. In this research, the relationship of nightlight intensity associated with flood damages has been determined during 1992-2013 with spatial resolution of 30 arc sec ($0.0083^{\circ}$) which is nearly one kilometer at the equator in whole six countries along the Mekong River (i.e., China, Myanmar, Lao PDR, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam). ArcGIS Hydrological Flow Length Tool has been used to determine the distance of each pixel areas from the rivers and streams. Statistical analysis results highlight the significant correlation R = 0.47 between nightlight digital number and economic damages per unit area (US$/km2) and R = 0.62 for number of affected people for unit area ($people/km^2$). The areas near by the Mekong River and its tributaries correspond to high flood damage. This spatial analysis result is going to be prestigious key information to the regions and all related stakeholders for decisions and mitigation strategies.

본 논문의 목적은 원격 탐사 영상에서 잡음을 제거하기 위해 중심 화소와 통계적으로 유사한 이웃화소들을 선택하늘 방법을 제시하고 이 결과를 평균 곡률 확산과 결합하는 방법을 제시하는데 있다. 균일한 밝기값 영역에 속하는 화소들을 검출하기 위해 이웃 화소들을 순차적으로 선택할 때 그 선택하는 순서에 따라 선택된 영역의 통계적 특성이 달라지므로 이웃 화소의 선택 순서는 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 통계적으로 유사한 특성을 가지는 이웃 화소를 선택하기 위해서 중심 화소와 이웃 화소의 밝기값 차를 계산하고 이를 크기 순으로 정렬하여 얻어지는 순위 차 벡터(rank-ordered differences vector)를 이용하는 효과적인 방법을 제안한다. 순위 차 벡터의 항들을 영역 확장 방법을 이용하여 균일 순위 차 벡터(homogeneous rank-ordered differences vector)와 이상점 순위 차 벡터 (outlier rank-ordered differences vector)로 분할한다. 균일 순위 차 벡터의 항에 속하는 이웃 화소에 대해서만 중심 화소의 밝기값 갱신에 기여하도록 확산 계수를 선택적으로 할당하는 라인 프로세스를 평균 곡률 확산에 결합한다. 제안한 방법은 모든 이웃 화소를 이용하여 중심 화소의 밝기값을 갱신하는 기존의 잡음 제거 필터에 비해 잡음 제거 효과가 뛰어남을 항공 영상 및 TerraSAR-X 위성 영상을 이용한 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

Soil texture has an important influence on agriculture such as crop selection, movement of nutrient and water, soil electrical conductivity, and crop growth. Conventionally, soil texture has been determined in the laboratory using pipette and hydrometer methods requiring significant amount of time, labor, and cost. Recently, in-situ soil texture classification systems using optical diffuse reflectometry or mechanical resistance have been reported, especially for precision agriculture that needs more data than conventional agriculture. This paper is a part of overall research to develop an in-situ soil texture classification system using image processing. Issues investigated in this study were effects of sensor travel speed and light source and intensity on image quality. When travel speed of image sensor increased from 0 to 10 mm/s, travel distance and number of pixel were increased to 3.30 mm and 9.4, respectively. This travel distances were not negligible even at a speed of 2 mm/s (i.e., 0.66 mm and 1.4), and image degradation was significant. Tests for effects of illumination intensity showed that 7 to 11 Lux seemed a good condition minimizing shade and reflection. When soil water content increased, illumination intensity should be greater to compensate decrease in brightness. Results of the paper would be useful for construction, test, and application of the sensor.

One of the traditional optical methods to monitor a tool is a CCD sensor-based vision system which captures an aspect of the tool in real time. In the case using the CCD sensor, specific lens-modules are necessary to monitor the tool with higher resolution than its pixel size, and a microprocessor is required to attain desired data from captured images. Thus theses additional devices make the entire measurement system complex. Another method is to use a pair of an optical source and a detector per measuring axis. Since the method is based on the intensity modulation, the structure of the measurement system is simper than the CCD sensor-based vision system. However, in the case measuring the three dimensional position of the tool, it is difficult to apply to micro machine-tools because there may not be space to integrate three pairs of an optical source and a detector. In this paper, in order to develop a tool-origin measurement system which is employed in micro machine-tools, the improved method to measure a tool origin in x, y and z axes is introduced. The method is based on the intensity modulation and employs one pair of an optical source radiating divergent beams and a quadrant photodiode to detect a three dimensional position of the tool. This paper presents the measurement models of the proposed tool-origin sensor. The models were verified experimentally The verification results show that the proposed method is possible and the induced models are available for design.

The surface morphology of oil-lubricated surface for hydraulic piston motor is believed to be extremely effective in contact mechanics. adhesion. friction and wear. In order to describe morphology of various rubbed surface on driving condition, the wear test was carried out under different experimental conditions in oil-lubricated system. And fractal descriptors was applied to rubbed surface of hydraulic members with image processing system. These descriptors to analyze surface structure are fractal dimension. Surface fractal dimension can be determined by sum of intensity difference of surface pixel. Morphology of rubbed surface can be effectively obtained by fractal dimension.

This paper proposes a novel framework for traffic video classification based on chaotic features. First, each pixel intensity series in the video is modeled as a time series. Second, the chaos theory is employed to generate chaotic features. Each video is then represented by a feature vector matrix. Third, the mean shift clustering algorithm is used to cluster the feature vectors. Finally, the earth mover's distance (EMD) is employed to obtain a distance matrix by comparing the similarity based on the segmentation results. The distance matrix is transformed into a matching matrix, which is evaluated in the classification task. Experimental results show good traffic video classification performance, with robustness to environmental conditions, such as occlusions and variable lighting.

New very low bit rate segmentation video image coding technique is proposed by segmenting image into textually homogeneous regions. Regions are classified into one of three perceptually distinct texture classes(perceived constant intensity, smooth texture, and rough texture) using the Human Visual System(HVS) and the fractals. To design very low bit rate video image coder, it is very important to determine the best block size for estimation the fractal dimension and the thresholding of the fractal dimension for each texture class. Good quality reconstructed images are obtained with about 0.10 to 0.21 bit per pixel(bpp) for many different types of imagery.
