A study on the topology optimization of a multi-spectral camera for space-use is presented. The optimization is carried out under self-weight and polishing pressure loading. A multi-spectral camera for space-use experiences degradation of optical image in the space, which can not be detected on the optical test bench on the earth. An optical surface deformation of a primary mirror, which is a principal component of the camera system, is an important factor affecting the optical performance of the whole camera system. In this study, topology optimization of the primary mirror of the camera is presented. As an objective function, a measure of Strehl ratio is used. Total mass of the primary mirror is given as a constraint to the optimization problem. The sensitivities of the objective function and constraint are calculated by direct differentiation method. Optimization procedure is carried out by an optimality criteria method. For the light-weight primary mirror design, a three dimensional model is treated. As a preliminary example, topology optimization considering a self-weight loading is treated. In the second example, the polishing pressure is also included as a loading in the topology optimization of the mirror. Results of the optimized design topology for the mirror with various mass constraints are presented.

The sensitivities of the objective function and constraint are calculated by direct differentiation method. Optimization procedure is carried out by an optimality criterion method using the sensitivities of the objective function and the constraint. As a preliminary example, topology optimization considering a self-weight loading is treated. For practical use, the polishing pressure is included as a loading in the topology optimization of the primary mirror.

This study is concerned with the design of a camera iris-shutter device for producing force. The camera iris-shutter with yoke should have a smaller size and a bigger magnetic force than the previous model. Since the induced magnetic force operates shutter movement, the magnetic force maximization for a given input current is an important issue. To achieve the goal, new system is designed by the topology optimization method. The design is refined through the design of experiments to find the detail camera iris shutter design satisfying design constraints.

This paper presents a novel approach for representing the spatio-temporal topology of the camera network with overlapping and non-overlapping fields of view (FOVs) in Ubiquitous Smart Space (USS). The topology is determined by tracking moving objects and establishing object correspondence across multiple cameras. To track people successfully in multiple camera views, we used the Merge-Split (MS) approach for object occlusion in a single camera and the grid-based approach for extracting the accurate object feature. In addition, we considered the appearance of people and the transition time between entry and exit zones for tracking objects across blind regions of multiple cameras with non-overlapping FOVs. The main contribution of this paper is to estimate transition times between various entry and exit zones, and to graphically represent the camera topology as an undirected weighted graph using the transition probabilities.

Compare with other communication system based RF technology, Optical Camera Communication (OCC) has limitation on data rate due to the low frame rate of camera. The limitation on data rate can be solved with multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) technology; and it is the final target of all researches on OCC. The MIMO topology can be implemented easily without breaking out the architecture of image sensor. For image sensor classification, there are two architectures have been developed: rolling shutter and global shutter. The operation of two techniques is different so the performance is also different. In this paper we analyze and evaluate the performance of the MIMO architecture for OCC.

When the scene has less texture or when camera pose largely changes, the existing texture-based feature tracking methods are not reliable. Topology-based feature description methods, which use the geometric relationship between features such as LLAH, is a good alternative. However, they require feature detection methods with high performance. As a basic study on developing an effective feature detection method for topology-based feature description, this paper aims at examining their applicability to topology-based feature description by analyzing the repeatability of several feature detection methods that are included in the OpenCV library. Experimental results show that FAST outperforms the others.

Detecting entry and exit zones in a view covered by multiple cameras is an essential step to determine the topology of the camera setup, which is critical for achieving and sustaining the accuracy and efficiency of multi-camera surveillance system. In this paper, a graph theoretic clustering method is proposed to detect zones using data points which correspond to entry and exit events of objects in the camera view. The minimum spanning tree (MST) is constructed by associating the data points. Then a set of well-formed clusters is sought by removing inconsistent edges of the MST, based on the concepts of the cluster balance and the cluster density defined in the paper. Experimental results suggest that the proposed method is effective, even for sparsely elongated clusters which could be problematic for expectation-maximization (EM). In addition, comparing to the EM-based approaches, the number of data required to obtain stable outcome is relatively small, hence shorter learning period.

Recently, CAN network technology and MOST network are introduced in vehicle to control many electronic devices and to provide entertainment service. Many interconnected devices operate in MOST network which has ring topology such as CD-ROM(DVD), AMP, VIDEO CAMERA, VIDEO DISPLAY, GPS NAVIGATION and so on. In this paper, The input image of CAMERA in the MOST network is used for determining the movement direction of vehicle. Even though the position information was received from GPS, it is difficult to directly determine the direction of moving vehicle in certain areas such as the parallel road structure. This paper designs and implements the method to determine vehicle's direction by real-time matching between CAMERA image and object image base on image DB.

In this paper, we design a perceptually invisible dot pattern layout and its recognition scheme, and we apply the recognition scheme into a smart self learning aid for interactive learning aid. To increase maximum information capacity and also increase robustness to the noises, we design a ECC (error correcting code) based dot pattern with directional vector indicator. To make a smart self-learning aid, we embed the micro dot pattern (20 information bit + 15 ECC bits + 9 layout information bit) using K ink (CMYK) and extract the dot pattern using IR (infrared) LED and IR filter based camera, which is embedded in the smart pen. The reason we use K ink is that K ink is a carbon based ink in nature, and carbon is easily recognized with IR even without light. After acquiring IR camera images for the dot patterns, we perform layout adjustment using the 9 layout information bit, and extract 20 information bits from 35 data bits which is composed of 20 information bits and 15 ECC bits. To embed and extract information bits, we use topology based dot pattern recognition scheme which is robust to geometric distortion which is very usual in camera based recognition scheme. Topology based pattern recognition traces next information bit symbols using topological distance measurement from the pivot information bit. We implemented and experimented with sample patterns, and it shows that we can achieve almost 99% recognition for our embedding patterns.
