We propose an individual authentication method based on optical visual cryptography in thata fingerprint data is processed by secret sharing method taking into account the optical visual cryptograph and a part of shared data transmitted through an open network. Whenever it is necessary, submitting his fingerprint with the other shared information can authenticate the owner of the fingerprint. The system efficiently identifies fingerprints through optical correlation, regardless of difficulties of acquisition of exact fingerprint imagein the various environments.

Third order correlation funciton is to be advantageous to detect unique features embedded in various random signals that are undetectable with second order correlation or power spectrum. In this paper, we will introduce optical modulator which consists of a laser light source, 2-dimensional ultrasonic diffractor cell with signal controlling circuitry, and a CCD camera connected to personal computer for image processing. With this modulator, the third order correlaiton pattern of signal can be immediately obtained at the camera due to parallel nature of optical computing.

In this paper, we proposed a new 3-dimensional(3-D) object-tracking algorithm that can control a stereo camera using a variable window mask supported by which uses ,B-D information and an optical BPEJTC. Hence, three-dimensional information characteristics of a stereo vision system, distance information from the stereo camera to the tracking object. can be easily acquired through the elements of a stereo vision system. and with this information, we can extract an area of the tracking object by varying window masks. This extractive area of the tracking object is used as the next updated reference image. furthermore, by carrying out an optical BPEJTC between a reference image and a stereo input image the coordinates of the tracking objects location can be acquired, and with this value a 3-D object tracking can be accomplished through manipulation of the convergence angie and a pan/tilt of a stereo camera. From the experimental results, the proposed algorithm was found to be able to the execute 3-D object tracking by extracting the area of the target object from an input image that is independent of the background noise in the stereo input image. Moreover a possible implementation of a 3-D tele-working or an adaptive 3-D object tracker, using the proposed algorithm is suggested.

In this paper an optical encryption system, which can decrypt the original image by using the autocorrelation terms of a JTC, is proposed. Unlike the classical JTC, the joint input plane of the proposed system is composed in a frequency domain not a spatial domain, thus it needs only one Fourier transformation. To use like this, the phase component appeared in the output plane of JTC should be considered. We presents the effect of phase and provides the solution. An original image is encrypted to a complex-valued random image. The original image is reconstructed using the autocorrelation terms which is the main drawback of JTC, therefore the proposed system is more suitable for JTC and real time processing. By computer simulation and optical experiment, the analysis for the phase effect and the performance of the proposed system are confirmed.

For distortion-invariant recognition of Korean characters, a holographic implementation of an optical associative memory system is proposed. The structure of the proposed system is a single-layer neural network employing interconneclion matrix, thresholding and feedback. To provide the interconnection matrix, we use two CGII's which are placed on intermcdiate plane of cascaded Vander Lugt corrclators to form an optical memory loop. The holographic correlator stores reference images in a hologram and retrives them in a coherently illuminated feedback loop. An input image which maybe noisy or incomplete, is applicd to the system and simultaneously correlated optically with all of the stord images. These correlations are throsholed and fed back to the input, where the strongest correlation reinforces the input image. The enhanced image passes arround the loop repeatedly, approaching the stored image more closely on each pass until the system stabilizes on the desired image. The computer simulation results show that the proposed Korean Character recognition algorithm has high discrimination capability and noise immunity.

In this paper, fSDF/POF, BPOF spatial matched filters are designed and implemented by CGH. The correlation characteristics for the suggested filters are analyzed for the distorted input images. Input patterns are obtained from the out-of-plane aircraft images by gradually rotating it, and then used for SDF training images. Modified version of LCD is used for a real-time input device of an optical correlator, and CGH-based fSDF filters are fabricated on film mask for spatial matched filter in order to recognize the distorted images. Total optical corrlator system size is effectively reduced to 148.8 cm by using lens combinations. Computer simulations and experimental results show that the suggested phase filters have nearly uniform correlation characteristics and have good classification capabilities between two classes.

This paper describes the design and development of VSI (VLBI standard interface) optical adapter for transmitting VLBI(Very long baseline interferometry) observation data with optical signal. VSI cable comprised of 80-line is being used for observed data transmission with maximum length of 5-meter between playbacks (Mark5B, VERA2000) and raw VLBI data buffer (RVDB), RVDB and VLBI correlation subsystem (VCS) in Daejeon correlator. It has a plan to conduct the data processing for 16-stations and introduce the 14 RVDB systems in near future. And data loss frequently occurred because of trouble of VSI cable MDR80 connector. By considering the data loss by connector error of VSI cable, RVDB system extension plan, effective space usage and long distance data transmission(e-VLBI), the VSI optical adapter was proposed and developed for effectively transmitting and receiving VLBI data through optical signal. In order to confirming the performance of developed VSI optical adapter, the experiments for data transmission was conducted between playback and RVDB system, and confirmed that data transmission was clearly done without any data loss.
