It is very important study field in computer vision 'How we obtain 3D information from 2D image'. For this purpose, we must know position of camera, direction of light source, and surface reflectance property before we take the image, which are intrinsic information of the object in the scene. Among them, surface reflectance property presents very important clues. Most previous researches assume that objects have only Lambertian reflectance, but many real world objects have Non-Lambertian reflectance property. In this paper the new method for analyzing the properties of surface reflectance and reconstructing the shape of object through estimation of reflectance parameters is proposed. We have interest in Non-Lambertian reflectance surface that has specular reflection and diffuse reflection which can be explained by Torrance-Sparrow model. Photometric matching method proposed in this paper is robust method because it match reference image and object image considering the neighbor brightness distribution. Also in this thesis, the neural network based shaped reconstruction method is proposed, which can be performed in the absence of reflectance information. When brightness obtained by each light is inputted, neural network is trained by surface normal and can determine the surface shape of object.

It is essential to reduce building energy consumption in office building because government enact policy which encourages building energy certification from 2013. Office building has high cooling energy demand due to large glazed area of facade in these days. Shading devices can be an alternative of reducing high cooling energy demand. So, this study simulated a variety of exterior venetian blinds to know how much building energy be affected by orientation and reflectance of slat. The results of this study are based on Seoul weather data. The following is a summary of this study. 1) As a slat of venetian blinds has the lower reflectance, the more building energy reduced. Reflectance is usually affected by color and material of slat. In case reflectance is 0.2 reduce 4% of building energy than reflectance is 0.8. 2) Horizontal exterior venetian blinds are more effective than vertical exterior venetian blinds in all of orientation. Horizontal shape is average 16% more effective in shading effect than vertical shape. 3) In this case study, the most effective shading device is low reflectance horizontal exterior venetian blinds that result about 18% building energy reduction than no shade model. The results of this research can be used to plan shading devices for energy conservative office building.

Monitoring of dermal collagen is important to assess various scar conditions, and many diagnostic methods have been applied to quantify collagen contents in scar tissue. In this study, Monte Carlo simulation was used to evaluate diffuse reflectance distributions in scar condition by a near-infrared laser source. The results showed that the effective distance of the light source and the detector was 2 mm to monitor the various scar conditions using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. This study may suggest to the optimal design for a near infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy during the scar treatment.

The characteristics of a bimetallic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) chip were investigated to detect a tumor biomarker, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The linewidth and the tangential slope of the reflectance curve of the bimetallic SPR chip was compared with those of the reflectance curve of a conventional gold (Au) SPR chip. The changes in reflectance in response to the variation in CEA in the critical concentration range were analyzed at an angle where the tangential slope of the reflectance curve was maximum. From linear regression analysis, the sensitivity of the bimetallic SPR chip with respect to the CEA in critical concentration was obtained.

Surface plasmon resonance(SPR) has been widely studied for biological and chemical sensing applications. The present study conducts numerical simulation for the single and bimetallic layer SPR configurations by using the multiple beam interference matrix(MBIM) method to investigate the influence of wave interference and complex refractive indices of materials on optical characteristics such as reflectance and optical phase shift which are used for sensing. First, calculated reflectances are compared with experimental data for validation. In addition, in the single film structures this study finds out the appropriate film thicknesses with minimum reflectance for cases of gold film and silver film. For a bimetallic silver-gold film structure, in particular, the bimetallic film thicknesses that has the minimum reflectance are found 36 nm for silver and 5 nm for gold. From the results, the use of phase shift would be useful compared to reflectance in determining the SPR configuration because the phase shift becomes more sensitive than reflectance.

It is important to reduce optical losses from front surface reflection to improve the efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cells. Surface texturing by isotropic etching with acid solution based on HF and $HNO_3$ is one of the promising methods that can reduce surface reflectance. Anisotropic texturing with alkali solution is not suitable for multicrystalline silicon wafers because of its various grain orientations. In this paper, we textured multicrystalline silicon wafers by simple wet chemical etching using acid solution to reduce front surface reflectance. After that, surface morphology of textured wafer was observed by Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) and Atomic Force Microscope(AFM), surface reflectance was measured in wavelength from 400nm to 1000nm. We obtained 29.29% surface reflectance by isotropic texturing with acid solution in wavelength from 400nm to 1000nm for fabrication of multicrystalline silicon solar cells.

The Estimation method for spectral reflectance of the object using five-band and nine-band have been developed. The five-band acquisition are required of five or three times same work for color image acquisition process. To solve the above problems, we proposed a new method that can be reconstructed spectral reflectance of object. The proposed method was to classify same hues corresponding a color stimulus, by using hue angle and chroma vector of a color stimulus. The reconstruction of spectral reflectance was examined by computer simulation, and evaluated by MSE(Mean Square Error) and color difference between the original and reconstructed spectral reflectance.

The primary uses of SWIR bands of ASTER data are to analyze geological features. In this study, we are attempting to evaluate the effect of using the narrow band A STER data for extracting information related to biophysical information of forest vegetation. ASTER and ETM+ data have been obtained simultaneously over the study area in Kyongan-River basin on May 8, 2003. Two data sets were initially processed to reduce atmospheric effects and converted to percent reflectance values, which make them comparable each other. ASTER and ETM+ reflectance were then analyzed by using the field survey data that include forest leaf area index (LAI), cover types, species composition, and stand density. Preliminary results show that ASTER reflectance were not much different to ETM+ reflectance to explain LAI.

파푸아뉴기니 열대 우림에 서식하는 극락조의 가슴깃은 독특한 나노 구조를 가지고 있다. 이 독특한 구조에 의해 구조색이 발현된다. 또한 이 구조색은 입사하는 빛의 각도에 따라 색이 변화 하며 아름다운 색을 낸다. 극락조의 가슴깃의 구조는 keratin과 melanin으로 구성 되어 있는데 keratin과 melanin이 한 층씩 교대로 위치하여 multi layer 구조를 가진다. 가슴깃의 단면의 형태는 부메랑 모양의 구조로 되어 있는데 물질은 주로 keratin 으로 이루어져 있고 keratin 내부에 melanin rodlet이 층층이 박혀서 multi layer를 형성한다. 부메랑 모양의 단면에서 keratin 피질의 각도는 약 $30^{\circ}$ 정도로 이루어져 있고 내부의 melanin 기둥이 이루는 층은 약 $11.3^{\circ}$ 정도로 이루어져 있다. 본 연구에서는 극락조 가슴깃의 구조를 도식화 하여 입사하는 빛의 각도에 따라 나타나는 구조색을 FDTD simulation을 통해 계산하였고 실제 구조에 의해 측정된 reflectance spectra와 비교하여 특성이 유사하게 나타남을 확인 하였다. 실제 극락조 가슴깃의 반사 특성은 부메랑 모양 구조의 가운데 부분에서는 파장이 610 nm 정도인 주황빛이 주로 반사가 되고, 부메랑 모양 구조의 양옆 부분에서는 파장이 420 nm 정도인 파란빛이 주로 반사되어 나타난다. 그리고 각도에 따른 구조색의 변화는 보통의 multi layer의 특징과 다르게 나타난다. 입사하는 빛의 각도가 커질수록 reflectance peak가 나타나는 파장이 점점 짧아지는 특징은 일반적인 multi layer와 일치하지만 일반적인 multi layer가 입사 각도가 커질수록 reflectance가 커지는데 반해 극락조 가슴깃의 반사특성은 입사 각도가 커질수록 reflectance는 오히려 작아진다. 우리가 도식화한 구조를 FDTD simulation한 결과는 이러한 특징이 실제 구조의 측정 결과와 일치하게 잘 나타났다. 또한 keratin과 melanin층의 각도 및 두께변화에 따른 reflectance를 FDTD simulation을 통해 계산 해보았고 구조변화에 따른 특징들을 확인해 보았다.
