Face recognition system has advanctage to automatically recognize a person without causing repulsion at deteciton process. However, the face recognition system has a drawback to show lower perfomance according to illumination variation unlike the other biometric systems using fingerprint and iris. Therefore, this paper proposed a robust face recogntion method against illumination varition by slective fusion technique using both visible and infrared faces based on fuzzy linear disciment analysis(fuzzy-LDA). In the first step, both the visible image and infrared image are divided into four bands using wavelet transform. In the second step, Euclidean distance is calculated at each subband. In the third step, recognition rate is determined at each subband using the Euclidean distance calculated in the second step. And then, weights are determined by considering the recognition rate of each band. Finally, a fusion face recognition is performed and robust recognition results are obtained.

We have measured the spectral transmittances of UV blocking soft contact lenses, regular soft contact lenses and regular RGP lenses using the method suggested in ANSI Z80.20 standard. In order to evaluate visible light transmitting and UV blocking characteristics, we have calculated transmittances by integrating over the specific spectral ranges, i.e., visible light, UVA, UVB and UVC. We found that mean transmittances of visible light for all three categories were over 90.0 % which could be considered as within acceptable range for a contact lens. The transmittance of the UVA and UVB radiation for the UV blocking soft lenses except some cases was within UVR (Ultraviolet radiation) transmittance standard. The UV blocking ability of regular soft and RGP lenses was poor as rather expected. These results will be expected to assist clinical opticians and practitioners in utilizing the transmittance characteristics about the contact lens.

Every object emits some energy from its surface. The emission energy forms surface heat distribution which we can capture by using an infrared thermal imager. The infrared thermal image may include valuable information regarding to the subsurface anomaly of the object. Since a thermal image reflects surface clutter and subsurface anomaly, we have difficulty in extracting the information on the subsurface anomaly only with thermal images taken under a wavelength. Thus, we use visible wavelength images of the object surface to remove exterior clutter. We, therefore in this paper, visualize the infrared image for overlaying it with a visible wavelength image. First, we make an interpolated image from two ordinary images taken from both sides of an infrared sensor. Next, we overlay the intermediate image with an infrared image taken from the infrared camera. The technique suggested in this paper can be utilized for analyzing the infrared images on non-destructive inspection against disaster and for safety.

In order to improve the anti-fogging property of polymer films, organic-inorganic hybrid coating solutions which have good hydrophilic property and transmission in the range of visible light were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The coating solutions were prepared by adding glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane(GPS) to a colloidal silica(15 nm) suspension(Ludox). GPS as silane coupling agent forms strong bonds to the colloidal silica and surrounding polymer matrix and links two different materials together. Solutions prepared by addition of GPS at the acidic condition resulted in coatings that were less prone to cracking, while those at the basic condition caused coatings with more cracking. These resulted in better hydrophilic property and transmission in the range of visible light for the solution prepared at the acidic condition(pH 2). Compared with coatings under acidic conditions, coatings prepared at basic conditions showed worse hydrophilic property and transmission in the range of visible light.

In this paper, two wavelengths mainly used for laser prostatectomy have been quantitatively compared: 532 and 980 nm. Two lasers at 40 W were employed to ablate bovine liver in vitro. Ablation performance was evaluated in light of number of sweeps, ablation volume, and coagulative necrosis. 532 nm yielded up to four times higher ablation efficiency than 980 nm. Regardless of wavelength, ablation rate per sweep decreased with the number of sweeps. 532 nm generated relatively deeper ablation craters along with thinner coagulation whereas 980 nm created superficial tissue ablation with up to 2 mm thick coagulative necrosis. Due to higher light absorption and effective thermal confinement, 532 nm induced more efficient tissue ablation with a smaller coagulative necrotic zone. The current study demonstrated that 532 nm could be a more ideal wavelength for laser prostatectomy, and the future in vivo investigations will confirm these findings.

Anti-glare (AG) coating films are applied to various display fields such as liquid crystal displays, LED lighting, and touch panels. In this study, micrometer-sized silica particles were added as fillers in the UV-curable coating solutions to provide anti-glare effect. During this process, the effects of the particle size, content, stirring time, and mixing ratio of silica particles of different sizes were investigated on the haze values and visible light transmittance of the coating films. As a result, as the size of the silica particles increased and the content of the silica particles increased, the haze values increased, but the visible light transmittance decreased. On the other hand, the stirring time did not significantly affect the haze value and transmittance of coating films. In addition, as the mixing ratio of large-sized silica particles increased, the haze value increased, but on the contrary, the visible light transmittance decreased.
