This paper presents an optimum method for determining the parameters to athermalize a long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) zoom camera by introducing the defocus sensitivity analysis. To effectively find parameters that significantly affect thermal defocus, we simulated athermal analysis with temperature changes for all variables. Consequently, we found that the optimum parameter to correct thermal defocus is the compensation lens, and its movements with temperature at each zoom position are obtained from the simulated athermal analysis. To verify the efficiency of our athermal approach, we performed actual athermal tests in a broad temperature range at each zoom position. The simulated athermal analysis provides the initial position of the compensation lens at the corresponding temperature and zoom position. Then the compensation lens is elaboratively moved to serve the highest live contrast ratio (LCR) for the target. This experiment shows that the compensation lens locations in the actual test are closely matched to those in the simulated athermal analysis. In addition, two outdoor tests conducted in two different environments confirm that the autofocus system suggested in this study performs well at all zoom positions. Using the proposed athermal analysis approach in this paper, we efficiently realize an athermal system over the specified temperature and zoom ranges.

To evaluate the effects of spherical aberration (SA) correction on optical quality in pseudophakic eyes, we simulated the optical quality of the human eye by computation of the modulation transfer function (MTF). We reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent cataract surgery in Asan Medical Center, retrospectively. A Zywave aberrometer was used to measure optical aberrations at 1-12 postoperative months in patients with AR40e intraocular lens implants. The MTF was calculated for a 5 mm pupil from measured wavefront aberrations. The area under the MTF curve (aMTF) was analyzed and the maximal aMTF was calculated while changing the SA ($-0.2{\sim}+0.2{\mu}m$) and the defocus (-2.0 ~ +2.0 D). Sixty-four eyes in 51 patients were examined. The maximal aMTF was $6.61{\pm}2.16$ at a defocus of $-0.25{\pm}0.66D$ with innate SA, and $7.64{\pm}2.63$ at a defocus of $0.08{\pm}0.53D$ when the SA was 0 (full correction of SA). With full SA correction, the aMTF increased in 47 eyes (73.4%; Group 1) and decreased in 17 eyes (26.6%; Group 2). There were statistically significant differences in Z(3, -1) (vertical coma; P = 0.01) and Z(4, 4) (tetrafoil; P = 0.04) between the groups. The maximal aMTF was obtained at an SA of $+0.01{\mu}m$ in Group 1 and an SA of $+0.13{\mu}m$ in Group 2. Optical quality can be improved by full correction of SA in most pseudophakic eyes. However, residual SA might provide benefits in eyes with significant radially asymmetric aberrations.

Depth calculation of objects in a scene from images is one of the most studied processes in the fields of image processing, computer vision, and photogrammetry. Conventionally, depth is calculated using a pair of overlapped images captured at different view points. However, there have been studies to calculate depths from a single image. Theoretically, it is known to be possible to calculate depth using the diameter of CoC (Circle of Confusion) caused by defocus under the assumption of a thin lens model. Thus, this study aims to verify the validity of the thin lens model to calculate depth from edge blur amount which corresponds to the radius of CoC. For this study, a commercially available DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera was used to capture a set of target sheets which had different edge contrasts. In order to find out the pattern of the variations of edge blur against varying combination of FD (Focusing Distance) and OD (Object Distance), the camera was set to varying FD and target sheet images were captured at varying OD under each FD. Then, the edge blur and edge displacement were estimated from edge slope profiles using a brute-force method. The experimental results show that the pattern of the variations of edge blur observed in the target images was apart from their corresponding theoretical amounts derived under the thin lens assumption but can still be utilized to calculate depth from a single image for the cases similar to the limited conditions experimented under which the tendency between FD and OD is manifest.

근시의 발생 및 증가의 원인이 지속적인 망막의 흐린 상에 의한다는 것이 여러 연구를 통해 알려져 왔다. 실제 임상에서는 미교정 난시가 망막의 흐린 상을 유발하는 한 가지 원인이 될 수 있다. 난시와 굴절이상도와의 관계를 알아보기 위해 87명의 대학생을 대상으로 N-vision 5001 자동굴절검안기(Shinnippon)를 이용하여 굴절이상도를 측정하였다. 직난시와 사난시의 그룹에서는 구면굴절이상도와 난시의 상관계수와 통계값은 각각 r=0.53 (ANOVA F=32.40, N=87, P<0.05)과 r=0.53(ANOVA F=5.14, N=15, P<0.001)으로 난시도수의 증가와 함께 굴절이상도수가 증가하지만 도난시와의 상관계수는 r=0.09 (ANOVA F=0.18, N=22, P<0.001)로 구면굴절이상도와 난시와의 상관관계는 미미한 것을 나타났다. 그룹 전체의 난시도수와 굴절 이상도는 각각의 그룹의 상관도 보다 높게 나타났다(r=0.56: ANOVA F=77.80, N=173, P<0.001) 그룹 전체에서 난시도수와 굴절이상도의 상관관계가 유의적 수준에서 높게 나타나는 것으로 보아 미교정 난시가 구면굴절이상의 발생 및 증가에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

Depth recovery in robot vision is an essential problem to infer the three dimensional geometry of scenes from a sequence of the two dimensional images. In the past, many studies have been proposed for the depth estimation such as stereopsis, motion parallax and blurring phenomena. Among cues for depth estimation, depth from lens translation is based on shape from motion by using feature points. This approach is derived from the correspondence of feature points detected in images and performs the depth estimation that uses information on the motion of feature points. The approaches using motion vectors suffer from the occlusion or missing part problem, and the image blur is ignored in the feature point detection. This paper presents a novel approach to the defocus technique based depth from lens translation using sequential SVD factorization. Solving such the problems requires modeling of mutual relationship between the light and optics until reaching the image plane. For this mutuality, we first discuss the optical properties of a camera system, because the image blur varies according to camera parameter settings. The camera system accounts for the camera model integrating a thin lens based camera model to explain the light and optical properties and a perspective projection camera model to explain the depth from lens translation. Then, depth from lens translation is proposed to use the feature points detected in edges of the image blur. The feature points contain the depth information derived from an amount of blur of width. The shape and motion can be estimated from the motion of feature points. This method uses the sequential SVD factorization to represent the orthogonal matrices that are singular value decomposition. Some experiments have been performed with a sequence of real and synthetic images comparing the presented method with the depth from lens translation. Experimental results have demonstrated the validity and shown the applicability of the proposed method to the depth estimation.

The use of I-Core sandwich panel has increased in cruise ship deck structure since it can provide similar bending strength with conventional stiffened plate while keeping lighter weight and lower web height. However, due to its thin plate thickness, i.e. about 4~6 mm at most, it is assembled by high power $CO_2$ laser welding to minimize the welding deformation. This research proposes a volumetric heat source model for T-joint of the I-Core sandwich panel and a method to use shell element model for a thermal elasto-plastic analysis to predict welding deformation. This paper, Part I, focuses on the heat source model. A circular cone type heat source model is newly suggested in heat transfer analysis to realize similar melting zone with that observed in experiment. An additional suggestion is made to consider negative defocus, which is commonly applied in T-joint laser welding since it can provide deeper penetration than zero defocus. The proposed heat source is also verified through 3D thermal elasto-plastic analysis to compare welding deformation with experimental results. A parametric study for different welding speeds, defocus values, and welding powers is performed to investigate the effect on the melting zone and welding deformation. In Part II, focuses on the proposed method to employ shell element model to predict welding deformation in thermal elasto-plastic analysis instead of solid element model.

Image deblurring by a deconvolution method requires accurate knowledge of the blur kernel. Existing point spread function (PSF) models in the literature corresponding to lens aberrations and defocus are either parameterized and spatially invariant or spatially varying but discretely defined. In this paper, a parameterized model is developed and presented for a PSF which is spatially varying due to lens aberrations and defocus in an imaging system. The model is established from the Seidel third-order aberration coefficient and the Hu moment. A skew normal Gauss model is selected for parameterized PSF geometry structure. The accuracy of the model is demonstrated with simulations and measurements for a defocused infrared camera and a single spherical lens digital camera. Compared with optical software Code V, the visual results of two optical systems validate our analysis and proposed method in size, shape and direction. Quantitative evaluation results reveal the excellent accuracy of the blur kernel model.

수차가 정확히 알려지지 않은 결상계에 있어서, exit pupil에 인위적인 위상의 random fluctuation을 도입하고 북스펙트럼 스펙클 영상법(bispectral speckle imaging)을 이용하므로서 수차의 효과를 극소화하여 거의 회절한계의 영상을 얻을 수 있다. Defocus, 구면수차, 코마수차, 비점수차가 각각 1파장씩 있을 때, 주어진 사용영상수(50개)에 대해서 Gaussian random phase model의 correlation length가 어느 정도일 때 최적의 결과를 얻을 수 있는지를 점 물체에 대해 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 시행하므로서 연구하였다. 평가기준으로서는 복원된 점물체에 대한 point spread function의 FWHM, normalized peak intensity, MTF 그리고 visual inspection을 채용하였는데, exit pupil 위에서 Fried parameter ${\Upsilon}_0$ 범위에 대한 수차의 차의 rms값 $\sigma$가 구면수차에 대해서는 0.27~0.53 파장일 때, defocus와 비점수차에 대해서는 0.24~0.36 파장일 때, 좋은 결과를 주는 것으로 나타났고, 코마수차의 경우에는 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 없었다.
