초측정 할 수 있는 nodal slide식 실시간 OTF 측정 장치를 제작하였다. 비축 물체를 측정하기 위하여 nodal slide와 T-bar를 사용하고, 실시간 측정을 위하여 화소 간격이 가로 9.9$\mu\textrm{m}$와 세로 9.6$\mu\textrm{m}$인 2차원 CCD(charge coupled device)를 사용하며, 초점 길이 300mm의 시준 렌즈를 사용하여 장치를 소형화하였다. 그리고 F/8, 초점 길이 50 mm인 SIRA사의 표준 렌즈를 이용하여 측정 장치의 정확도를 평가하고 보정하였다. 본 장치의 신뢰도를 위하여 시야각이 10.6$^{\circ}$이고, 초점 길이가 25.0mm인 CCTV & VIDEO 렌즈(JAPAN, AVENIR-SE 2514)의 MTF를 측정하여 카메라 벤취(bench)형 OTF측정 장치로부터 구한 MTF 값들과 상호 비교한 결과 대부분의 공간주파수에서 4% 이내로 일치하였다.

Traditional three-dimensional (3-D) laser imaging systems are based on real aperture imaging technology, whose resolution decreases as the range increases. In this paper, we develop a novel 3-D imaging technique based on the synthetic aperture technology in which the imaging resolution is significantly improved and does not degrade with the increase of the range. We consider an imaging laser radar (ladar) system using the floodlight transmitting mode and multi-beam receiving mode. High 3-D imaging resolutions are achieved by matched filtering the linear frequency modulated (LFM) signals respectively in range, synthetic aperture along-track, and the real aperture across-track. In this paper, a novel 3-D imaging signal model is given first. Because of the motion during the transmission of a sweep, the Doppler shift induced by the continuous motion is taken into account. And then, a proper algorithm for the 3-D imaging geometry is given. Finally, simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

To date, more than 150 exo-solar planets have been observed by various methods such as spectroscopic, photometric, astrometric, gravitational lensing, pulsar timing methods. However, all these are indirect methods; they do not directly image the planets. Only free-floating planets or their 'ana-log' have been directly detected so far. Thus the next milestone is the direct imaging of any kinds of planetary mass objects orbiting around normal (young) stars, which might have been associated with protoplanetary disks, the sites of planet formation. I will describe some SUBARU efforts to detect self-luminous young giant planets as companions as well as direct imaging of the protoplanetary disks of ${\~}$100 AU size. The results of near-infrared coronagraphic imaging with adaptive optics are briefly presented on AB Aur, HD 142527, T Tau, and DH Tau. Our results demonstrate the importance of high-resolution (${\~}$0.1 arcsec) direct imaging over indirect observations such as modeling based on spectral energy distributions. The SUBARU observations are a prelude to ALMA from the morphological point of view.

A hyperspectral imaging spectrometer has shown significant advantages in performance over other existing ones for remote sensing applications. It can collect hundreds of narrow, adjacent spectral bands for each image, which provides a wealth of information on unique spectral characteristics of objects. We have developed a compact hyperspectral imaging system that successively shows high spatial and spectral resolutions and fast data processing performance. In this paper, we present an overview of the hyperspectral imaging system including the strucure of geometrical optics and several image processing schemes such as wavelength calibration and noise reduction for image data on Visible and Near-Infrared(VNIR) and Shortwave-Infrared(SWIR) band.

등가렌즈는 굴절능과 특정한 기준광선에 대한 근축광학적 특성은 같고, 축상두께가 다른 렌즈이다. 이 연구에서는 동의 결상을 기준으로 광학계의 두꺼운 렌즈를 등가렌즈로 변환하고 일반적으로 사용되던 물체의 결상을 기준으로 등가렌즈로 변환한 경우와 Seidel 수차의 변화를 비교하였다.

In this paper, we propose a curved projection integral imaging system to improve the horizontal and vertical viewing angles. The proposed system can be easily implemented by additional use of a large-aperture convex lens in conventional projection integral imaging. To obtain the simultaneous display of 3D images through real and virtual image fields, we propose a computer-generated pickup method based on ray optics and elemental images, which are synthesized for the proposed system. To show the feasibility of the proposed system, preliminary experiments are carried out. Experimental results indicate that our system improves the viewing angle and displays 3D images simultaneously in real and virtual image fields.

In this paper, we present a computational volumetric reconstruction method for three-dimensional (3D) photon counting imaging with enhanced visual quality when low-resolution elemental images are used under photon-starved conditions. In conventional photon counting imaging with low-resolution elemental images, it may be difficult to estimate the 3D scene correctly because of a lack of scene information. In addition, the reconstructed 3D images may be blurred because volumetric computational reconstruction has an averaging effect. In contrast, with our method, the pixels of the elemental image rearrangement technique and a Bayesian approach are used as the reconstruction and estimation methods, respectively. Therefore, our method can enhance the visual quality and estimation accuracy of the reconstructed 3D images because it does not have an averaging effect and uses prior information about the 3D scene. To validate our technique, we performed optical experiments and demonstrated the reconstruction results.

In this paper, we propose an effective noise reduction method for photon counting imaging using a discrete wavelet transform. Conventional 2D photon counting imaging was used to visualize the object under dark conditions using statistical methods, such as the Poisson random process. The photons in the scene were estimated using a statistical method. However, photons which disturb the visualization and decrease the image quality may occur in the background where there is no object. Although median filters are used to reduce the noise, the noise in the scene remains. To remove the noise effectively, our proposed method uses the discrete wavelet transform, which removes the noise in the scene using a specific thresholding method that utilizes photon counting imaging characteristics. We conducted an optical experiment to demonstrate the denoising performance of the proposed method.

With slimmer, lighter and all-reflective imaging systems in high demand for consumer and military applications, coaxially folded optical image systems are widely considered because they can extend focal length and reduce track length. Most of these systems consist of multiple surfaces, and these surfaces are machined on one element or grouping processing on two elements. In this paper, we report and first experimentally demonstrate an all-aluminum all-reflective optical system which consists of two optical elements, with two high order aspherical surfaces in each element. The coaxially folded system is designed with Seidel aberration theory and advanced optimization with Zemax. The system is made of all-aluminum material processing by single point diamond turning (SPDT). On this basis, we completed the system integration and performed an imaging experiment. The final system has the advantages of short track length and long focal length and broad application prospects in the micro-unmanned aerial vehicle field.

본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 집적영상(integral imaging(II))에서 분산 추정을 이용하여 심하게 은폐된 물체의 복원 시 은폐물(occluding object)의 블러링 효과를 제거하는 방법을 제안하였다. 하나의 요소영상(elemental image) 군으로부터 은폐 효과를 제거하여 복원된 영상의 선명도를 향상시키는 정보를 추출하는 방법을 분석하였다. 이를 실행하기 위해 픽업되는 요소영상들이 높은 해상도, 낮은 초점오차(focus error), 큰 깊이감을 가질 필요가 있다. 요소 영상을 픽업할 때 디지털 컴퓨터를 이용한 synthetic aperture integral imaging(SAII)이 채택되었다. 컴퓨터(Computational) II에서는 복원 면의 위치에 따라 복원되는 영상의 촛첨이 맺히는 영역이 달라진다. 심하게 은폐된 물체 영상의 복원은 은폐 물체의 블러링(bluring) 효과가 복원 면에 전체적으로 크게 나타나기 때문에 선명한 복원을 할 수가 없다. 이러한 은폐물의 블러링 효과가 제거된 복원 영상을 얻기 위해 분산 추정이라는 통계적인 방법이 채택되었다.
