A 3D visual sensing method using a laser structured beam is presented for robotic tracking applications in a simple and reliable manner. A cylindrical shaped laser structured beam is proposed to measure the pose and position of the target surface. When the proposed laser beam intersects on the surface along the target trajectory, an elliptic pattern is generated. Its ellipse parameters can be induced mathematically by the geometrical relationship of the sensor coordinate and target coordinate. The depth and orientation of the target surface are directly determined by the ellipse parameters. In particular, two discontinuous points on the ellipse pattern, induced by seam trajectory, indicate mathematically the 3D direction for robotic tracking. To investigate the performance of this method, experiments with a 6 axis robot system are conducted on two different types of seam trajectories. The results show that this method is very suitable for robot seam tracking applications due to its excellence in accuracy and efficiency.

Target design study to improve the quality of an accelerated proton beam from the interaction of a high-intensity short pulse laser with an overdense plasma slab has been accomplished by using a two-dimensional, fully electromagnetic and relativistic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. The target consists of a thin core part and a thick peripheral part of equivalent plasma densities, while the ratio of the radius of the core part to the laser spot size, and the position of the peripheral part relative to the fixed core part were varied. The positive effects of this core-peripheral target structure could be expected from the knowledge of the typical target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) mechanism in a laser-plasma interaction, and were apparently evidenced from the comparison with the case of a conventional simple planar target and the case of the transversal size reduction of the simple planar target. Improvements of the beam qualities including the collimation, the forward directionality, and the beam divergence were verified by detailed analysis of relativistic momentum, angular directionality, and the spatial density map of the accelerated protons.

Structured laser light is a widely used method for obtaining 3D range information in Machine Vision. However, The structured laser light method is based on assumption that the surface of objects is Lambertian. When the observed surfaces are highly specularly reflective, the laser light can be detected in various parts on the image due to a specular reflection and secondary reflection. This makes wrong range data and the image sensor unusable for the specular objects. To discriminate wrong range data from obtained image data, we have proposed a new algorithm by using the cross section of image block. To show the performance of the proposed method, a series of experiments was, carried out on: the simple geometric shaped objects. The proposed method shows a dramatic improvement of 3D range data better than the typical structured laser light method.

An algorithm to extract the 3-D geometric information of a static object was developed using a set of 2-D computer vision system and a laser structured lighting device. As a structured light pattern, multi-parallel lines were used in the study. The proposed algorithm was composed of three stages. The camera calibration, which determined a coordinate transformation between the image plane and the real 3-D world, was performed using known 6 pairs of points at the first stage. Then, utilizing the shifting phenomena of the projected laser beam on an object, the height of the object was computed at the second stage. Finally, using the height information of the 2-D image point, the corresponding 3-D information was computed using results of the camera calibration. For arbitrary geometric objects, the maximum error of the extracted 3-D feature using the proposed algorithm was less than 1~2mm. The results showed that the proposed algorithm was accurate for 3-D geometric feature detection of an object.

A structured beam laser is often used to scan object and make 3D model. Multiple cameras are inevitable to see occluded areas, which is the main reason of the high price of the scanner. In this paper, a low cost 3D foot scanner is developed using one camera and two mirrors. The camera and two mirrors are located below and above the foot, respectively. Occluded area, which is the top of the foot, is reflected by the mirrors. Then the camera measures 3D point data of the bottom and top of the foot at the same time. Then, the whole foot model is reconstructed after symmetrical transformation of the data reflected by mirrors. The reliability of the scan data depends on the accuracy of the parameters between the camera and the laser. A calibration method is also proposed and verified by experiments. The results of the experiments show that the worst errors of the system are 2 mm along x, y, and z directions.

We investigated the diffraction efficiency, erasing property and rewriting property of diffraction grating with each wavelength of recording beam. A (P:P) polarized light was exposed on AsGeSeS and Ag/AsGeSeS thin film to form a diffraction grating by HeNe(635nm) laser and DPSS(532nm) laser. At the maximum efficiency condition, unpolarized HeNe laser beam was irradiated to erase 1ha generated diffraction grating. The HeNe laser showed more higher diffraction efficiency and the DPSS laser showed more faster diffraction grating time. At erasing and rewriting process, AsGeSeS(61%-85%)thin film showed better property than Ag doped Ag/AsGeSeS(53%-63%) double layer structured thin film.

A CCD-camera, which is structured with vision system, was used to realize automatic seam-tracking system and 3-D information which is needed to generate torch path, was obtained by using laser-slip beam. To extract laser strip and obtain welding-specific point, Adaptive Hough-transformation was used. Although the basic Hough transformation takes too much time to process image on line, it has a tendency to be robust to the noises as like spatter. For that reson, it was complemented with Adaptive Hough transformation to have an on-line processing ability for scanning a welding-specific point. the dead zone,where the sensing of weld line is impossible, is eliminated by rotating the camera with its rotating axis centered at welding torch. The camera angle is controlled so as to get the minimum image data for the sensing of weld line, hence the image processing time is reduced. The fuzzy controller is adapted to control the camera angle.

격자의 구조가 간단하고 격자의 대조비가 낮은 SBC 시스템 구성을 위한 무편광 유전체 다층박막 회절격자를 설계하였다. SBC 방법으로 결합한 빔의 빔 품질을 높게 유지하기 위하여 회절격자의 파면 왜곡이 최소화되는 구조를 제안하였으며, 오염에 의한 흡수가 발생하지 않고 회절격자를 제작할 수 있는 구조로 회절격자를 최적화 설계하였다. 설계된 회절격자는 1055 nm 중심파장에서 Littrow 각도로 입사하는 경우 무편광 -1차 회절 효율이 99.36%이었으며, 96% 이상의 무편광 회절 효율을 나타내는 공정 여분이 확보되어 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper range measurement systems are designed using an ultrasonic sensor and a camera. An ultrasonic sensor provides the range measurement to a target quickly and simply but its low resolution is a disadvantage. We tackle this problem by employing a camera. Instead using a stereoscopic sensor, which is widely used for 3D sensing but requires a computationally intensive stereo matching, the range is measured by focusing and structured lighting. In focusing a straightforward focusing measure named as MMDH(min-max difference in histogram) is proposed and compared with existing techniques. In the method of structure lighting, light stripes projected by a beam projector are used. Compared to those using a laser beam projector, the designed system can be constructed easily in a low-budget. The system equation is derived by analysing the sensor geometry. A sensing scenario using the systems designed is in two steps. First, when better accuracy is required, measurements by ultrasonic sensing and focusing of a camera are fused by MLE(maximum likelihood estimation). Second, when the target is in a range of particular interest, a range map of the target scene is obtained by using structured lighting technique. The systems designed showed measurement accuracy up to 0.3[mm] approximately in experiments.

지금까지 3차원 정보를 얻기 위하여 CCD카메라, 레이저, 구조화된 격자 발생기 등과 같은 여러 센서들이 사용되어져 왔지만 대부분의 캘리브레이션 알고리즘들은 많은 메모리와 실험 시간을 필요로 하기 때문에 비효율적이었다. 본 논문에서는 실세계 상의 3차원 정보를 얻기 위한 삼각법을 기반으로한 구조화된 격자 캘리브레이션 알고리즘이 소개된다. CCD카메라와 수평으로 설치된 구조화된 격자 패턴 생성기로부터 생성된 빔들이 캘리브레이션 면에 사영된다. CCD 카메라는 대상물과 사영된 빔이 교차한 평면을 측정한다. 그리고 3차원 데이터는 측정된 값과 캘리브레이션 데이터를 이용하여 계산된다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방범은 3차원 정보를 간단한 삼각법으로 획득하였기 때문에 효율적인 측정시간과 메모리 절약의 이점을 가지고 있다.
