본 논문에서는 정밀 측정 장비인 VMS(Video Measuring System)에서 줌을 서보 모터(servo motor)로 제어하는 자동화된 줌 렌즈 보정에 대하여 연구하였다. 이전의 자동화된 줌 렌즈의 연구들은 줌, 초점과 조리개 3 가지의 렌즈 설정에 대한 모든 카메라 파라미터들에 대하여 보정하였지만, VMS 의 자동화된 줌 렌즈의 보정은 줌의 렌즈 설정에 대해서만 보정한다. 줌 렌즈 설정에 의해 보정 되는 파라미터들은 줌에 따라 변화하는 이미지 중심과 픽셀 크기이다. 카메라의 외부 파라미터들을 제외한 이유는 VMS에서는 카메라가 움직이고 않고, 스테이지가 움직이면서 그에 따른 좌표 값을 주기 때문에 카메라의 이동과 회전에 대하여 보정할 필요가 없다. 줌을 조정하는 줌 단계가 많기 때문에 모든 줌 단계를 보정하기 위해서는 많은 시간과 노력이 든다. 본 논문에서는 보정 파라미터들을 최소 단계의 줌 렌즈 설정에 대하여 계산하고 계산되지 않은 영역들을 보간법으로 빠르고 효과적인 줌 렌즈 보정을 할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다.

Zoom motion estimation of video sequence is very complicated for implementation. In this paper, we propose a method to implement the zoom motion estimation using together the depth camera and color camera. Depth camera obtains the distance information between current block and reference block, then zoom ratio between both blocks is calculated from this distance information. As the reference block is appropriately zoomed by the zoom ratio, the motion estimated difference signal can be reduced. Therefore, the proposed method is possible to increase the accuracy of motion estimation with keeping zoom motion estimation complexity not greater. Simulation was to measure the motion estimation accuracy of the proposed method, we can see the motion estimation error was decreased significantly compared to conventional block matching method.

This paper describes the design and fabrication of mid-IR $(3.7-4.8{\mu}m)$ zoom optics which is used for FUR (Forward Looking Infra-Red) system with 320 $\times$ 240 focal plane arrays. The zoom optics has 20 magnification range and maximun 40$^{\circ}$$\times$30$^{\circ}$ of super wide field of view. The locus of zoom is almost linear, which gives easy access of mechanical and electro-mechanical design. The on-axis MTF of zoom optics has been measured and it shows diffraction limited optical performance. For example, it gives 0.692 at 24 cycles/mm at highest magnification, and 7.6 cycles/mradof resolving power is achieved with the operation of attached micro-scanning system.system.

We theoretically derive the set of utilizable paraxial zoom locus equations for all complicated zoom lens systems with infinite object distance, such as a camera zoom lens, by using the Gaussian bracket method and the matrix representation of paraxial ray tracing. And we make the zoom locus program according to these equations in Visual Basic. Since we have applied the paraxial ray tracing equations into Gaussian bracket representation, the resultant program systematically simplifies various constraints of the zoom loci of various N group types. Consequently, the solutions of this method can be consistently used in all types of zoom lens in the step of initial design about zoom loci. Finally, in order to verify the usefulness of this method, we show that one example among 4 groups and that among 5 groups, which are very complex zoom lens systems, can be rapidly and with versatility traced through various interpolations by using this program.

We propose a new type of stereoscopic camera system with a zoom lens module to overcome the backlash for the stability of picture matching and the difficulty of zoom control. This system is designed to control a pair of zoom lens with a rotation lever. In this paper, we present the structural characteristics of our proposed system, and verify that there are no image mismatching at acquired stereo images and the zoom in$\cdot$out is easy to control. In our experiments, we achieve good results that a convergence control is very simple and distortion of images is decreased.

Precise visual measurement applications, like video measuring system (VMS), use camera systems with motorized zoom lens for fast and efficient measurement. In this paper, we introduce an efficient calibration method for zoom lens of VMS controlled by servo motor. For the automated zoom lens calibration of the VMS, only zoom lens setting needs to be calibrated and parameters calibrated by zoom lens settings are image center and pixel size changed by zoom levels, The extrinsic parameters, like focus and iris, do not need to be calibrated since the parameters are usually fixed, It needs a lot of time and effort to calibrate the camera for ali the different zoom levels. In this paper, we also propose an efficient and fast zoom lens calibration method, which calculates the calibration parameters of the zoom lens settings for the minimum number of zoom levels and estimates other parameters for the uncalculated zoom levels using the interpolation of the calculated parameter values.

We theoretically derive the set of general paraxial zoom locus equations for all zoom lens systems with finite object distance, including the infinite object distance case, by using the Gaussian bracket method and matrix representation of paraxial ray tracing. We make the zoom locus program by means of a numerical calculation method according to these equations in Visual Basic Language. Consequently, the solutions of this method can be consistently and flexibly used in all types of zoom lens in the step of initial design about zoom loci. Finally, in order to verify the justification and usefulness of this method, we show that two examples, such as $M_{4a}$ and $M_{4h}$ types of 4 groups, and one example, $M_{5n}$ type of 5 groups, which are very complicated zoom lens systems, can be rapidly and diversely traced through various interpolations by using this program.

Purpose: To develop the 2~8X zoom beam expander for the 1064 nm laser source. Methods: After developing the program by which the initial design values of 3-component zoom tracks can be quickly obtaind, we design and develop the zoom beam expander by applying this program and the commercial program of Sigma 2000. Results: In this study, we could develop the program by which the initial design values of zoom tracks can be quickly obtaind, and by applying this program and the commercial program of Sigma 2000 we could design and develop the zoom beam expander for 1064 nm which is able to zoom from 2${\times}$ to 8${\times}$. The developed zoom beam expander has an efficient diameter of the incidence side of 8 mm, an efficient diameter of the exit side of 32 mm, and a capacity with the finite ray aberration within 0.0001rad. Because the overall length (OAL) is restricted between 125 mm and 135 mm, the change of the whole barrel length which is caused by variations of the zoom driving becomes to be within 10 mm. Conclusions: we could develop the program by which the initial design values of zoom tracks can be quickly obtaind, and by applying this program we could design and develop the zoom beam expander for 1064 nm which is able to zoom from 2${\times}$ to 8${\times}$.

본 논문에서는 단일 비디오 내에서 다양한 움직임 유형을 분석하여 각각의 움직임 유형에 따른 효율적인 입체 영상 변환 알고리즘을 제안한다. 움직임 정보는 단일 비디오 영상을 입체영상으로 변환하기 위해 가장 많이 사용되는 정보 중 하나이며 특히, 줌 인(zoom in), 줌 아웃 (zoom out) 움직임 발생시 상대적으로 높은 입체감을 제공한다. 따라서 본 논문은 수평, 수직 모션뿐만 아니라 줌 움직임(zooming motion)을 효율적으로 검출하기 위한 새로운 모션 결정 규칙을 제안 하였다. 실험에서는 MPEG 실험에 많이 사용되는 동영상 데이터를 이용하였으며 제안된 모션 결정 규칙은 순수한 줌 움직임뿐만 아니라 노이즈가 포함된 복잡한 줌 움직임에도 강인한 결과를 보였다.
