A new method to design a low distortion, even relative illumination, optical see-through head-mounted display (HMD) with a freeform reflective mirror (FFRM) based on the two similar ellipsoids structure is proposed. The HMD we have realized has a simple structure which consists of two similar ellipsoid surfaces, an FFRM, a 7-piece co-axis relay lens, and an OLED. This structure can be applied to offset distortion, reach even relative illumination, and correct the off-axis aberrations. The HMD we finally have realized has a near 3% low distortion, a higher than 80% relative illumination, and a 40°×30° field of view (FOV).

In this study, we present a denoising algorithm for high-frame-rate videos in an ultra-low illumination environment on the basis of Kalman filtering model and a new motion segmentation scheme. The Kalman filter removes temporal noise from signals by propagating error covariance statistics. Regarded as the process noise for imaging, motion is important in Kalman filtering. We propose a new motion estimation scheme that is suitable for serious noise. This scheme employs the small motion vector characteristic of high-frame-rate videos. Small changing patches are intentionally neglected because distinguishing details from large-scale noise is difficult and unimportant. Finally, a spatial bilateral filter is used to improve denoising capability in the motion area. Experiments are performed on videos with both synthetic and real noises. Results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in both peak signal-to-noise ratio objective evaluation and visual quality.

Recently, Light Emitting Diode(LED) has many advantages in comparison with conventional light sources; low power consumption, long lifetime, and less environmental pollution. Therefore, the use of LED is multiplying and increasing rapidly. In general, however, spherical lens is used in LED-lighting which cause many problems induces by optical aberration of spherical lens; low illumination, a yellow belt, unpleasant feeling in human eye. As a potential solution of this problem, aspherical lens can be employed. This study reports the improvement of LED-lighting performance by adopting aspherical lens. From the commercial program, $LightTools^{TM}$, the optical problem were ensured. And then, to improve this problem, optimum aspheric form was designed using Code $V^{TM}$.

Fourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM) is a recently proposed computational imaging method that achieves both high resolution (HR) and wide field of view. In the FPM framework, a series of low-resolution (LR) images at different illumination angles is used for high-resolution image reconstruction. On the basis of previous research, image noise can significantly degrade the FPM reconstruction result. Since the captured LR images contain a lot of dark-field images with low signal-to-noise ratio, it is very important to apply a noise-reduction process to the FPM raw dataset. However, the thresholding method commonly used for the FPM data preprocessing cannot separate signals from background noise effectively. In this work, we propose an improved thresholding method that provides a reliable background-noise threshold for noise reduction. Experimental results show that the proposed method is more efficient and robust than the conventional thresholding method.

영상 센서 및 소형 디스플레이의 발달로 가능해진 저가의 고속 카메라는 영상처리 및 패턴인식 분야에서 유용하게 활용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 약간의 시차를 두고 연속적으로 입력되는 고속의 영상으로부터 불규칙적인 조명을 보정한 다음, 조명이 보정된 영상으로부터 사람의 관심 영역인 노출된 피부 색상 영역을 획득하는 알고리즘을 소개한다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 받아들인 고속의 영상으로부터 비 균일하게 발생된 조명적인 효과를 프레임 블렌딩 기법을 사용하여 보정한다. 그런 다음, 사전에 반복적인 학습으로 생성된 타원형의 피부 색상 분포 모델을 적용하여 입력된 고속의 컬러 영상으로부터 관심 영역을 강인하게 획득한다. 실험 결과에서는 본 논문에서 제시된 접근 방법이 입력되는 컬러 영상으로부터 조명을 보정한 다음 관심 영역을 정확하게 획득한다는 것을 보여준다. 본 연구에서 제안된 알고리즘은 얼굴 인식 및 추적, 조명 보정 및 제거, 동영상 색인 및 검색 등과 같은 영상 인식과 연관된 다양한 종류의 실제적인 응용 프로그램에서 매우 유용하게 이용될 것으로 추측된다.

We describe a novel method of scanning probe nanofabrication using a AFM(atomic force microscopy) tip with assistance of Femtosecond laser pulses to enhance fabrication capability. Illumination of the AFM tip with ultra-short light pulses induces a strong electric field between the tip and the metal surface, which allows removing metal atoms from the surface by means of field evaporation. Quantum simulation reveals that the field evaporation is triggered even en air when the induced electric field reaches the level of a few volts per angstrom, which is low enough to avoid unwanted thermal damages on most metal surfaces. For experimental validation, a Ti: sapphire Femtosecond pulse laser with 10 fs pulse duration at 800 nm center wavelength was used with a tip coated with gold to fabricate nanostructures on a thin film gold surface. Experimental results demonstrate that fine structures with critical dimensions less than ${\sim}10nm$ can be successfully made with precise control of the repetition rate of Femtosecond laser pulses.

본 논문은 HAUSAT-2 위성의 구조-열모델(STM)에 대해 수행한 우주모사시험의 결과 및 이에 따른 열 모델링의 수정과 해석에 대한 연구 결과를 보여준다. 열 모델링의 보정은 시험 데이터와의 비교 분석 과정을 반복하여 이루어졌으며, 이러한 보정된 열 모델링을 통해 시험데이터와 근사한 결과를 재해석 시에 얻게 되었다. HAUSAT-2의 열진공 및 열평형 시험에서는 표면히터를 사용하여 태양광을 모사하였다. 본 열진공 및 열평형 시험을 통하여 소형 열진공 챔버 내에서 국내 최초로 초소형 위성 모델을 우주모사시험하기 위한 저비용이며 효율적인 열시험 방법을 제시하였고, 또한 이를 시험 결과를 통해 검증하였다.
