In this paper, a new method for obtaining three-dimensional shape of an object by measuring relative blur between images using wavelet analysis has been described. Most of the previous methods use inverse filtering to determine the measure of defocus. These methods suffer from some fundamental problems like inaccuracies in finding the frequency domain representation, windowing effects, and border effects. Besides these deficiencies, a filter, such as Laplacian of Gaussian, that produces an aggregate estimate of defocus for an unknown texture, can not lead to accurate depth estimates because of the non-stationary nature of images. We propose a new depth from defocus (DFD) method using wavelet analysis that is capable of performing both the local analysis and the windowing technique with variable-sized regions for non-stationary images with complex textural properties. We show that normalized image ratio of wavelet power by Parseval's theorem is closely related to blur parameter and depth. Experimental results have been presented demonstrating that our DFD method is faster in speed and gives more precise shape estimates than previous DFD techniques for both synthetic and real scenes.

Laser induced surface hardening of Tool steel(STC5) can be achieved either with or without surface melting. In trans-formation hardening as the surface is heated to a temperature below its melting point and is rapidly cooled solidified microstructures are usually much finer and stronger than those of the base matals. For this reason surface modification of tool steel by YAG laser irradiation has been studied as a function of processing parameters such as power density pulse width defocusing distance and molten depth. The high energy density changes and refines the microstructure of the near surface layer. In the case of beam passes martensite formed in the melt zone exhibited very high vickers hardness values. Molten depth and width depend on defocusing distance and energy of black color painting is more absorptive than other color painting.

Surface hardening of plain carbon steel (SM45C) by Laser are usually much finer and stronger than those of the base metals. The present study was under taken to investigate the wear resistance and a processing parameters such as, power density, pulse width, defocusing distance, and molten depth for surface modification of plain carbon steel. The wear test was carried out under experimental condition using the wear test device, and in which the annular surfaces of wear test specimens as well as mating specimen of alumina ceramics($Al_2O_3$) was rubbed in dry sliding condition. It is shown that molten depth and width depend on defocusing distance. The wear loss on variation of sliding speed was much in lower speed range below 0.2m/sec and in higher speed range above 0.7m/sec, but wear loss was little in intermediate speed range. It depends on oxidation speed and wear speed.

TMIV 레퍼런스 모델에는 VWS(View Weighting Synthesizer), AS(Additive Synthesizer), MPIS(Multiplane Image Synthesizer)의 세 가지 방식의 렌더러 구현이 제시되어 있는데 본 논문에서는 VWS 에 포커스를 맞추어 GPU 로 구현하여 디코딩 성능을 개선한 결과를 소개하고자 한다. AS, MPIS 등에 대해서는 GPU 에 의한 구현이 아직 진행 중이며 본 구현이 적용된 TMIV 레퍼런스 모델의 버전은 8.0.1 이어서 최신 버전인 11 또는 12 에 바로 적용하기에는 다소 거리가 있겠으나, 본 구현에서 적용된 세부 구현 기술과 서브 모듈 등은 충분한 재활용성을 가지고 있어 다른 방식의 렌더러나 상위 버전의 고속화 구현에도 적용이 가능할 것이다. TMIV 8.0.1 의 디코더에서 1920×4640 크기를 가지는 두 개의 아틀라스를 기준으로 프레임 렌더링의 경우 싱글 프레임 당 약 4 초에서 평균 25ms 이하 로 실행 시간이 단축되어 약 150 배 이상의 성능 향상을 획득하였으며 렌더링 파이프라인의 추가 등에 의해 통상적으로 실시간이라고 여기는 30fps 의 속도로 재생이 가능한 성능에 도달한 결과를 소개하였다.
