We proposed an axis transformation technique which reveals a distance parameter directly from optical scanning holography (OSH). After synthesis of a real-only spectrum hologram and power fringe adjusted filtering, we transform an original frequency axis to a new frequency axis using interpolation. In the new frequency axis, the filtered hologram has a single frequency which is linearly proportional to the distance parameter. Thus, the inverse Fourier transformation of the filtered hologram gives a delta function pair in the new spatial axis. Finally, we extract the distance parameter by detecting the location of the delta function pair.

This paper is compared with fourier series and least square polynomial fit and interpolation to mechanism stated number in electro-optical distance measuring instrument. Systematic instrumental errors occurring in electro-optical systems include uncertainties in the position of the electrical center of the transmitter, uncertainties in the effective center of the reflectors. frequency drift and instrument nonlinearity. Microwave systems are affected by uncertainties in the electrical centers of the master and remote units and by a phenomenon called group swing or reflection. As the result of this study, mechanism stated number will be used as verification of electro0optical measuring instrument to distance measurement.

In order to test the recognition ability and accuracy of a target imaging simulator under the irradiation of solar stray light in a laboratory environment, it needs to be fixed on a five-axis turntable during a hardware-in-the-loop simulation test, so the optical system of the simulator should have a long exit pupil distance. This article adopts a secondary imaging method to design a projection optical system suitable for thin-film-transistor liquid crystal displays. The exit pupil distance of the entire optical system is 1,000 mm, and the final optimization results in the 400 nm-850 nm band show that the modulation transfer function (MTF) of the optical system is greater than 0.8 at the cutoff frequency of 72 lp/mm, and the distortion of each field of view of the system is less than 0.04%. Combined with the design results of the optical system, TracePro software was used to model the optical system, and the simulation of the target imaging simulator at the magnitude of -1 to +6 Mv was analyzed and verified. The magnitude error is less than 0.2 Mv, and the irradiance uniformity of the exit pupil surface is greater than 90%, which meets the requirements of the target imaging simulator.

We introduce a combined technique and the mathematical description for distance measurements using a femtosecond pulse laser in a long range and a fine resolution. For distance measurements, the maximum measurable range can be extended by combining measurement results from several different methods while requiring relationships between the different measurement uncertainties and unambiguity ranges. This paper briefly explains why the uncertainty of a rough measurement technique (RMT) should be, at least, smaller than the half unambiguity range of a fine measurement technique (FMT) in order to combine a FMT with a RMT. Further discussions about the total measurement range, resolution, and uncertainty for various optical measurement techniques are also discussed.

A collimator refers to an optical system that images a collimated beam at a desired point. A resolution target located at a near distance can be converted into a virtual image located at a long distance. To test the resolution for mobile cameras, a large target is placed at a long distance. If a collimator system is used, the target can be placed at a near distance. The space required for a resolution inspection can thus be drastically reduced. However, to inspect a mobile camera, the exit pupil of the collimator system and the entrance pupil of the mobile camera must match, and the stop of the collimator system must be located on the last surface. Because a collimator system cannot be symmetrical with respect to the stop, the distortion becomes extremely large, which can be corrected by combining the collimator symmetrically with respect to the object plane. A novel system was designed to inspect an optical lens on a mobile phone. After arranging the refractive power, lenses were added using the equivalent lens design method. The distortion was reduced to less than 1%. This optical system satisfies a half-field angle of 45° and an optical performance sufficient for inspection.

본 논문에서는 빔 확산각 최소화를 통해 장거리에서 측정이 가능하도록 한 ToF 레이저 거리센서 광학계 설계에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 거리센서는 장거리 측정 시 거리가 멀어질수록 레이저 빔의 확산각으로 인해 물체 표면에 도달하는 빔의 광량이 급격히 저하되며, 이로 인해 센서에 수신되는 광량도 감소되어 측정이 되지 않거나 측정 오차가 발생하게 된다. 일반적으로 빔 확산각을 최소화하는 광학계로 실린더 렌즈가 사용된다. 그러나 실린더 렌즈를 이용한 광학계는 광학계 크기가 커지는 문제뿐만 아니라 조립 공차의 어려움으로 인해 성능이 저하된다는 문제점이 있어 최근 비구면 렌즈를 사용하는 추세가 증가하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실린더 렌즈를 이용한 광학계와 비구면 렌즈를 이용한 광학계의 광효율과 조립공차를 비교 분석하고자 한다.

Recently, the number of camera companies that produce commercializing interchangeable lens systems such as digital single lens reflex (DSLR) and compact system camera (CSC) lenses has been gradually increasing. These interchangeable lenses have various kinds of lenses with distinct specifications. In particular, the distance window among these specifications is the function most preferred by customers. Mechanical manual zoom and manual focus in these high end camera lenses with a distance window are in particular desirable specifications and are required for product quality. However, the AF lens group is linked to the zoom cam and moves. Because the AF lens group moves along with the object distance, we can not realize the distance window with only zoom locus calculation. In this paper, in order to solve the problem, we suggest an optical calculation method for a corrected AF zoom cam for an interchangeable lens with a distance window to achieve product differentiation and analyze the error in the calculation.

Modern distance sensing methods employ various measurement principles, including triangulation, time-of-flight, confocal, interferometric and frequency comb. Among them, the triangulation method, with a laser light source and an image sensor, is widely used in low-cost applications. We developed an omnidirectional two-dimensional (2D) distance sensor based on the triangulation principle for indoor floor mapping applications. The sensor has a range of 150-1500 mm with a relative resolution better than 4% over the range and 1% at 1 meter distance. It rotationally scans a compact one-dimensional (1D) distance sensor, composed of a near infrared (NIR) laser diode, a folding mirror, an imaging lens, and an image detector. We designed the sensor layout and configuration to satisfy the required measurement range and resolution, selecting easily available components in a special effort to reduce cost. We built a prototype and tested it with seven representative indoor wall specimens (white wallpaper, gray wallpaper, black wallpaper, furniture wood, black leather, brown leather, and white plastic) in a typical indoor illuminated condition, 200 lux, on a floor under ceiling mounted fluorescent lamps. We confirmed the proposed sensor provided reliable distance reading of all the specimens over the required measurement range (150-1500 mm) with a measurement resolution of 4% overall and 1% at 1 meter, regardless of illumination conditions.

거리 변환(Distance Transform)을 수행할 수 있는 셀룰라 비선형 네트워크 구조와 특징 점들의 제적 상에서 거리 변환을 이용한 optical flow 검출 방법을 제안하였다. 움직이는 물체의 추적이나 카메라의 움직임 파악 같은 응용 분야에서는 수가 적더라도 정확하고 확실한 optical flow가 더 중요하다. 본 연구는 특징점들의 이동 궤적 상에서 거리 변환 기법을 이용하여 거리 변환 필드(Distance Transform Field)를 생성시키고 거리 변환 필드상에서 궤적의 움직인 거리 값과 방향을 추출함으로써 optical flow를 구하는 방법이다. 이 방법은 영상 정보를 거리 정보로 변환하여 사용하게 되므로 잡음의 영향을 적게 받으며 필요한 연산들이 아날로그 회로에 의해 처리되므로 처리 속도가 빠르고, 지역적 처리 특성을 갖기 때문에 하드웨어 구현이 용이하다는 특징이 있다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 제안한 알고리즘의 핵심부분을 하드웨어로 구현하기 위해 셀룰라 비선형 네트워크(Celluar Nonlinear Neural Network)구조를 제안하였다. 제안한 구조와 알고리즘을 검증하기 위해 다양한 영상과 환경에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 결과를 제시하였다.

To protect and manage the Korean space assets including satellites, it is important to have precise positions and orbit information of each space objects. While Korea currently lacks optical observatories dedicated to satellite tracking, the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) is planning to establish an optical observatory for the active generation of space information. However, due to geopolitical reasons, it is difficult to acquire an adequately sufficient number of optical satellite observatories in Korea. Against this backdrop, this study examined the possible locations for such observatories, and performed simulations to determine the differences in precision of optical orbit estimation results in relation to the relative baseline distance between observatories. To simulate more realistic conditions of optical observation, white noise was introduced to generate observation data, which was then used to investigate the effects of baseline distance between optical observatories and the simulated white noise. We generated the optical observations with white noise to simulate the actual observation, estimated the orbits with several combinations of observation data from the observatories of various baseline differences, and compared the estimated orbits to check the improvement of precision. As a result, the effect of the baseline distance in combined optical GEO satellite observation is obvious but small compared to the observation resolution limit of optical GEO observation.
