As a tool for strain measurement to work with screw driven or hydraulic material test systems, in which mechanical vibration is inherent, SSDG (Speckle Strain/Displacement Gage), ESP (Electronic Speckle Photography) and its 3-dimension version SDSP are evaluated for the theory and practical appliance. Through tension test of steel strips, their validity and shortcomings are examined. As the results, it has been shown that, although SSDG and ESP provide direct measurement of in-plane strain in one direction, they are so sensitive to the out-plane displacement. On the other hand, SDSP which is aided with DIC (Digital Image Correlation) technique to trace the movement of the speckles provides not only in-plane 2-dimensional displacement field, but also out-of-plane displacement simultaneously. However, because the DIC is time-consuming, not automated yet and it needs post-processing to evaluate strain from the displacement field, SDSP appears to be not adequate as a real time sensor.

In the past 20 years or so, numerous methods to reduce speckle in SAR images have been proposed. The primary goal of these methods is to reduce speckle without destroying resolution and smearing edge information. But the experiments indicate that there is always a kind of tradeoff between smoothing out speckle and preserving edge information. In this paper, an optimal SAR speckle filter is developed. It can effectively smooth out speckle while preserve edge information.

Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry(ESPI) has been used to measure surface deformations of engineering components and materials in industrial areas. ESPI, a non-contact and non-destructive technique, is capable of providing full-field results with high spatial resolution and high speed. One of the important application using electronic speckle pattern interferometry is electronic speckle contouring of a diffused object for 3-D shape analysis and topography measurement. Generally the electronic speckle contouring is suitable for providing measurement range from millimeters to several centimeters. In this study, we introduce the contouring method by modified dual-beam speckle pattern interferometer and the shift of the two illumination beams through optical fiber in order to obtain the contour fringe patterns. We also describe formation process of depth contour fringes and grid contour fringes by shifting direction of the two illumination beams. Before the experiments, we performed the geometric analysis for dual-beam-shifted ESPI contouring, and then, the electronic speckle contouring experiment with various specimens. For quantitative analysis of the contour fringes, we used 4-frame phase shifting method with PZT Finally, good agreement between the geometric analysis and experimetal results is obtained.

레이저 스펙클이란 간섭성을 가진 레이저 빛을 산란체에 쏘았을 때 반사되는 정보를 레이저 스펙클이라 한다. 이 레이저 스펙클의 가장 큰 특징은 현재 의학 기술로는 볼 수 없는 미세혈관 관찰이 가능하다는 것이다. 미세혈관 관찰을 위해서 레이저 스펙클 장치로 얻은 이미지를 영상처리 하는 과정이 필요하다. 이 논문은 공간적 방향으로 다양한 크기의 윈도우를 적용시키는 새로운 영상처리법을 제안하였다. 기존의 영상처리법 LASCA에서는 고정된 크기의 윈도우를 적용시켜 영상처리 하였다. 하지만 작은 크기의 윈도우를 적용하였을 경우 이미지의 공간 해상도가 좋아 혈관이 잘 보이는 장점이 있지만 스펙클 노이즈의 영향을 많이 받게되는 반면 큰 크기의 윈도우를 적용하였을 경우 노이즈 제거에는 큰 효과를 보지만 해상도가 낮아져 영상이 흐릿해지는 현상을 발견할 수 있다. 그래서 우리는 이 두가지 방법의 장점만 살리는 적응 윈도우 기법을 소개한다. 우리는 적응 윈도우 기법과 기존의 라스카 이미지를 비교하여 보일 것이며 적응 윈도우 기법을 이용해 영상의 화질을 높인 것을 보일 것이다.

The object detection capabilities of ultrasonic imaging systems are limited by the ability of the detection process to distinguish the resolved object signals from backscattered speckle noise. It has been shown that the phase component of the Fourier transform of the speckle noise is random. Based on this property. we propose a new algorithm for distinguishing between speckle and specular targets. The proposed algorithm is implemented by taking the Fourier transform of the received signal, low-pass filtering the phase, and taking the inverse Fourier transform of the filtered phase to enhance specular reflectors and reduce speckle in the image. Simulations and experiments using phantoms confirm the algorithm yielding significant reduction of speckle noise.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is high resolution medical imaging system which is obtaining image inside biological objects with non-destructive method. OCT system is based on Michelson interferometer with a reciprocating mirror in the reference arm and a biological object in the sample arm. The obtained OCT image suffers from a granular or mottled image, called speckle. Speckle is caused by random interferences between reflected coherence waves. In this paper, we propose effective speckle reduction method that uses wavelet transform. With wavelet domain image, sub-windowing and thresholding are performed. Finally, speckle reduction experiments for Misgurnus mizolepis skin and rat eye images are shown.

The ultrasonic images are corrupted by the granular pattern noise - a speckle noise. The speckle exist in the type of coherent imaging systems, and the speckle is the signal independent and multiplicative noise. In this paepr, we derive two filters using the gradient and symmetry. One is a noise suppression filter which removes noise while preserves the edges. It is named the ASRF-GS (Adaptive Speckle Removal Filer - Gradient and Symmetry). And the other is a edge detection filter which obtains the thin edge map, called the EDUGS(Edge Detection Using Gradient and Symmetry). The performance of the proposed noise suppression filter is evaluated by the IMPV(SNR improvement) and the Speckle Index(SI), and the perforamnce of the edge detection is evaluated by the edge detection error rate. According to the evaluated method, The SI reduced about 0.035, The IMPV improved about 1.265(dB), and the edge detection error rate is about 17.5%.

SAR영상의 가장 큰 문제점은 경계선 부근에서 스패클(Speckle)잡음을 어떻게 줄이느냐 하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 방법을 이용하여 경계선을 보존할 수 있는 효과적인 필터를 개발하고자 한다. 스패클 잡음을 줄이면서 에지 영역에 대한 블러링 없는 영상을 추출하기 위하여 웨이브렛 기반의 sigma 필터를 적용하였다. 실험 결과 에지정보에 대한 블러링을 줄인 출력 영상을 구성하였다. 제안한 방법을 미디언 필터와 비교한 결과, 스패클 잡음을 효과적으로 제거한 우수한 영상을 얻을 수 있었다.

반점 간섭무늬 위상단면도의 잡음을 제거하기 위해 위상이동 convolution과 2-bit 양자화 스무딩 필터를 조합하였다. 위상이동 convoltion처리로 톱니파 형태를 갖는 반점 간섭무늬 위상단면도에서 2.pi. jump 양단의 edge 성분을 완벽하게 유지하면서 스무딩 처리를 할 수 있었다. 2-bit 양자화 스무딩 필터는 반점 간섭무늬 위상단면도의 스무딩 처리를 하는데 있어서 average, low-pass 필터 및 median 필터 보다 처리속도가 빠르고 S/N비 특성이 우수하였다. 잡음을 제거한 반점 위상단면도를 path dependent unwrapping 알고리즘을 적용하여 위상의 2.pi. 불연속성을 해소하고 펼쳐 보았다.

In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally analyze the impact of speckle size of pseudo-thermal light source on ghost imaging. A larger size of speckle can bring improvements in SNR and visibility. At the same time, the edge blur of the retrieved image will become more serious. We also present a setup which can mitigate the edge blur of larger speckle while maintaining the advantages of higher SNR and visibility by changing the speckle size of the object beam with a concave lens.
