The modulation transfer function (MTF) is calculated to analyze the resolution of the spatial frequency of the image acquired from the x-ray imaging system. In general, the response function of the detector acquires a line spread function (LSF) using a slit-camera, and derives a modulation transfer function through a Fourier transform. Because of the fact that the x-ray must always be incident on the center of the slit-camera, the tilt of the detector and slit-camera caused by the experimenter will affect the detector performance. In addition, if the tilt increases, the performance evaluation of the x-ray image system will be problematic. In this study, we analyzed the experimental and analytical models in the modulation transfer function, ie, the Fourier domain, based on the experimental error and analyzed the effect on the spatial frequency. Furthermore, performance evaluation is being carried out for various x-ray imaging systems, and experimental errors are indispensable, and the extent to which they can be tolerated should be reviewed.

We describe the experimental realization of image system using wavefront coding in 3-Mega pixel mobile phone camera. We designed aspheric lens to extend the depth of field (DOF) using wavefront coding. In addition, through the aspheric lens and lens barrel manufacturing, we obtained a raw image from a camera module. In our method, the acquired images are restored in the spatial frequency domain using the proposed filter and the spatial frequency response (SFR) is calculated. The proposed filters are composed of image denoising filter using low band pass filter in frequency domain and restoration filter for image restoration. Finally, we achieve an enhanced image by super-resolution image processing. Visual examples are given to demonstrate the performance of the proposed filter.

Since tolerance allocation in a mobile phone camera manufacturing process greatly affects production cost and reliability of optical performance, a systematic design methodology for allocating optimal tolerances is required. In this study, we proposed the tolerance optimization procedure for determining tolerances that minimize production cost while satisfying the reliability constraints on important optical performance indices. We employed Latin hypercube sampling for evaluating the reliabilities of optical performance and a function-based sequential approximate optimization technique that can reduce computational burden and well handle numerical noise in the tolerance optimization process. Using the suggested tolerance optimization approach, the optimal production cost was decreased by 30.3 % compared to the initial cost while satisfying the two constraints on the reliabilities of optical performance.

Electro-Optical Camera(EOC) is the main payload of Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite(KOMPSAT) with the mission of cartography to build up a digital map of Korean territory including Digital Terrain Elevation Map(DTEM). This instrument which comprises EOC Sensor Assembly and EOC Electronics Assembly produces the panchromatic images of 6.6 m GSD with a swath wider than 17 km by push-broom scanning and spacecraft body pointing in a visible range of wavelength, 510 ~ 730 nm. The high resolution panchromatic image is to be collected for 2 minutes during 98 minutes of orbit cycle covering about 800 km along ground track, over the mission lifetime of 3 years with the functions of programmable rain/offset and on-board image data storage. The image of 8 bit digitization, which is collected by a full reflective type F8.3 triplet without obscuration, is to be transmitted to Ground Station at a rate less than 25 Mbps. EOC was elaborated to have the performance which meets or surpasses its requirements of design phase. The spectral response the modulation transfer function, and the uniformity of all the 2592 pixel of CCD of EOC are illustrated as they were measured for the convenience of end-user. The spectral response was measured with respect to each gain setup of EOC and this is expected to give the capability of generating more accurate panchromatic image to the EOC data users. The modulation transfer function of EOC was measured as greater than 16% at Nyquist frequency over the entire field of view which exceeds its requirement of larger than 10%, The uniformity that shows the relative response of each pixel of CCD was measured at every pixel of the Focal Plane Array of EOC and is illustrated for the data processing.

A lens system of a camera module for mobile phones is comprised of the composition and design of various shapes of lens. To improve responses such as the modular transfer function (MTF), a lens system should always be constructed by considering uncertainty that can be caused by manufacturing and assembly error. In this study, tolerance optimization using the Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) technique is performed. In order to reduce the computational burden of the tolerance optimization process and decrease the influence from numerical noise effectively, we use the Progressive Quadratic Response Surface Modeling (PQRSM), which is one of Sequential Approximate Optimization (SAO) techniques. Using this method, we achieved optimal tolerance for each lens and obtained reliability for satisfying user‘s requirements. In addition, through the design process the manufacturing and assembly cost of a lens system was reduced.

This study conducted a study to improve the problems of the existing fire sensor system. In the case of the existing system, it took more than 3 minutes to detect a fire even at a short distance, making it difficult to extinguish the initial fire. In order to improve these problems, in this study, a fire detection system using an infrared thermal imaging camera was studied. The infrared image-based fire detection system is relatively wide and can detect fire over a long distance, so it has the advantage of being applicable to many fire detection systems. As a result of conducting a field test using the fire detection system, a fire that occurred about 2 km ahead was detected within about 10 seconds. Since the fire detection function of this system can detect within 10 seconds from a distance of about 2 km, it was applicable to forest fires that occur frequently in spring and autumn.

In the formation of images in a camera, the exposure time is appropriately adjusted to obtain a good image. Hence for a successful alignment of a sequence of images to the same scene, it is required to compensate the different exposure times. If we have no knowledge regarding the exposure time, then we should develop an algorithm that can compensate an image with respect to a reference image without using any camera formation models. In this paper, an exposure compensation is performed by designing predictors based on the conditional expectation between the reference and input images. Further, an adaptive predictor design is conducted to manage the irregular exposure or histogram problem. In order to alleviate the blocking artifact and the overfitting problems in the adaptive scheme, a smoothing technique, which uses the pixels of the adjacent blocks, is proposed. We successfully conducted the exposure compensation using real images obtained from digital cameras and the transmission electron microscopy.
