We have studied electro-optic characteristics as a function of pretilt angle ($\theta$$_{p}$) in the fringe-field switching (FFS) mode using the LC with positive dielectric anisotropy. When $\theta$$_{p}$ is increased from 0$^{\circ}$ to 20$^{\circ}$, a maximum transmittance and an operating voltage are obviously decreased. In the viewing angle characteristics, the cell with low pretilt angle has a wide region for the contrast ratio greater than 5 and has a best luminance uniformity. Therefore, in the FFS device, a low pretilt angle is favored for high transmittance and wide viewing angle.gle.

We have developed vertical alignment liquid crystal display (VA-LCD), of which the viewing angle can be controlled. The VA-LCD has the function of switching between the wide viewing mode and narrow viewing angle mode using one homogeneous aligned (HA) LC layer and one compensation film with a negative C-plate. The retardation of the HA layer at off axis can be controlled by applying an electric field while keeping the retardation value to be zero at normal direction. Consequently, the device exhibits a viewing mode over $170^{\circ}$ in terms of CR = 10 in wide viewing mode and about $60^{\circ}$ in terms of CR = 2 in narrow viewing angle mode m horizontal direction.

We have studied the viewing angle control of a twist nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD). The TN-LCD exhibits a bad image quality along vertical direction, due to characteristics such as low contrast ratio and gray scale inversion. The proposed new TN-LCD has the function of switching between the wide viewing mode and narrow viewing angle mode using two tilted LC layers at both sides of a TN-cell. Tilt angles of the two LC layers, $14^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ were required in both wide viewing angle and narrow viewing angle modes, respectively.

Viewers remember seeing more of the scene than was present in the physical input: an illusion known as boundary extension. This study examined the aspects of the distortion by presenting 69 subjects with wide-angle views of four scenes. Results of recognition and reproduction test showed that the boundary extension is not a unidirectional phenomenon. On the contrary, boundary restriction and foreground extension were observed with extreme wide-angle views of scenes. Results support the hypothesis that boundary restriction and foreground extension were mediated by the activation of a memory schema during picture perception.

The Korean spacecraft for the exploration of Apophis will be equipped with an optical navigation camera with a wide-angle lens. The major purpose of the wide-angle camera is to capture imagery during the rendezvous phase in order to determine the spacecraft's position and the pointing direction relative to the asteroid Apophis. Two potential sciences, however, can be achieved by the wide-angle camera: (1) to measure the high-order gravity terms, and (2) to capture possible ejecting small particles. In this presentation, we will discuss instrument specification and operation scenario required to accomplish the given science objectives.

An effective dual-mode camera system(a passive wide-angle camera and a pan-tilt-zoom camera) is proposed in order to improve the performance of visual surveillance. The fixed wide-angle camera is used to monitor large open areas, but the moving objects on the images are too small to view in detail. And, the PTZ camera is capable of increasing the monitoring area and enhancing the image quality by tracking and zooming in on a specific moving target. However, its FOV (Field of View) is limited when zooming in on a specific target. Therefore, the cooperation of wide-angle and PTZ cameras is complementary. In this paper, we propose an automatic initial set-up algorithm and coordinate transform method from the wide-angle camera coordinate to the PTZ one, which are necessary to achieve the cooperation. The automatic initial set-up algorithm is able to synchronize the views of two cameras. When a moving object appears on the image plane of a wide-angle camera after the initial set-up positioning, the obtained values of the wide-angle camera should be transformed to the PTZ values based on the coordinate transform method. We also develope the PTZ control method. Various in-door and out-door experiments show that the proposed dual-camera system is feasible for the effective visual surveillance.

현재 사진측량 분야에서 널리 사용되는 표준렌즈의 경우 비교적 좁은 시야각으로 인하여 취득한 영상에 대한 영상정합 기법을 적용하고 있으며 이로 인하여 시간적, 경제적인 비용이 많이 요구되고 있다. 최근 이러한 표준렌즈의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 로보틱스 분야에 널리 사용되고 있는 광각렌즈를 사진측량학에 응용하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 사진측량에서 사용되는 왜곡보정 방법을 저가형 로봇에서 사용되는 광각어안렌즈에 적용하여 광각렌즈에 적합한 보정모델을 개발하였다. 이를 위하여 광각렌즈영상 보정을 위한 왜곡계수를 산출하였으며, 관측한 영상점을 왜곡이 보정된 영상점으로 위치를 보정하는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발된 알고리즘을 검정하기 위하여 모양과 위치에 대한 검정을 실시하였으며, 그 결과 약 3픽셀의 2D RMSE와 cx = 2, cy = 3의 차이가 나타났다.

최근 LCD나 PDP와 같은 Slim 평판디스플레이의 급속한 성장에 대응하기 위하여, 기존의 부피가 큰 CRT의 두께 축소를 위한 광각화 기술이 요구 되어 지고 있다. 그러나 이러한 광각화한 Screen을 가진 CRT를 만드는 데는 많은 문제점이 있다. 특히 Screen의 Black Matrix를 형성함에 있어서, 설계자의 의도 대비 과도하게 형성되거나, 미형성 되는 큰 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 문제는 광각화 됨으로 인하여 민감도가 증가하여 발생하게 된다. 이러한 부분을 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 새로운 filter system을 제안한다. 기존에 사용하던 filter to panel 방식에서 panel to filter control 방식을 사용함으로써, 설계자의 의도대로 쉽게 Black Matrix를 조절할 수 있다. 본 논문은 새로운 광각화된 CRT에서 좀 더 나은 screen품질을 확보할 수 있도록 새로운 귄ter design 방법을 제안한다.

Recently various types of driver assistance systems have been used for automobiles. In 2008, the U.S Congress passed a law which required that most cars be equipped with devices to warn objects behind the vehicle. Because of that, market of rear view cameras is expected to rise dramatically. Therefore many suppliers try to provide a wide angle camera for car makers. But a high distortion is caused by the wide angle might result in lower image quality. In order to improve the image quality, normally we use an algorithm to correct a distortion. Though we can improve the distorted image by correction algorithm, we must pay more cost to use it. In this paper, we propose a new optical system reducing a distortion in contrast to a conventional lens without cost. In other words, we can see only an area of interest. That is similar to reducing a field of view. Using a new optical system, we can get a less distorted image. In order to view an area of interest, we introduce an off axis optical system having refractive surfaces and reflective surfaces. In this paper, we describe the results of design and, evaluation of an off axis wide angle compact imaging system. In comparison to conventional wide angle lens, we can get the improvement of MTF, distortion, and lateral color aberrations. And we also can reduce a total cost because we don't need the outer apparatus or bracket to mount on the car.
