In this paper, we propose a new selective scanning scheme based on hand-off path information, which can provide an efficient reducing of delay time. This scheme eliminates almost of the scanning delay time by using Selective Scan based on Experience Path Table(SSEPT) algorithm and also completed hand-off within few milliseconds by using the next candidate channel indexing mechanism. Our scheme reduces the total number of scanning channels as well as the delay time on each channel. From the simulation result, we show that the proposed scheme is advantageous over the legacy schemes in terms of the scanning channels and the total delay time.

Voronoi diagrams are applied in varios field such as NC toolpath generation, VLSI design and robot path planning because of their geometric charcteristics. In this paper, Voronoi diagrams are introduced on polygon constructed by line segments only and with constant offset. Bisector curves for two arbitrary objects, which is the combination of line segment and arc, are defined as parametric fuction where the parameter is used as offset. Offset curves are applied on the generation of laser scanning path for the stereolithography and shows a good result from several examples.

This paper describes the development of on the machine measuring(OMM) system which can directlry measure the three dimensional machined dimensilnal accuracy using scanning probe in milling machine. Two algolithms, continuous path(CP) measurement using UC program and CAD data assisted point to point(PTP) measurement, were developed regarding specification of scanning probe. The OMM system was contructed to verify the developed system suing the proposed algorithm, and actually measured three kinds of machined TV shadow mask molds. The developed system was evaluated it's repeatability and compared with the current measurement system of CMM(Coording Measuring Machine) in terms of relative accuracy and time reduction and productivity increase.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is being developed to guide various ophthalmic surgical procedures. However, the high cost of the intraoperative OCT system limits its availability mostly to the largest hospitals and healthcare systems. In this paper, we present a design and evaluation of a low-cost intraoperative common-path free-hand scanning OCT system. The lensed fiber imaging probe is designed and fabricated for intraocular use and the free-hand scanning algorithm that could operate at a low scanning speed was developed. Since the system operates at low frequencies, the cost of the overall system is significantly lower than other commercial intraoperative OCT systems. The assembled system is characterized and shows that it meets the design specifications. The handheld OCT imaging probe is tested on multilayer tape phantom and ex-vivo porcine eyes. The results show that the system could be used as an intraoperative intraocular OCT imaging device.

We discuss two possibilities of using femtosecond pulse lasers as a new interferometric light source for enhanced precision surface-profile metrology. First, a train of ultra-fast laser pulses yields repeated low temporal coherence, which allows unequal-path scanning interferometry, which is not feasible with white light. Second, the high spatial coherence of femtosecond pulse lasers enables large-sized optics to be tested in nonsymmetric configurations with relatively small-sized reference surfaces. These two advantages are verified experimentally using Fizeau and Twyman-Green type scanning interferometers.

This paper describes a method for digitizing the compound surfaces which are comprised of several unknown feature shapes such as base surface, and draft wall. From the reverse engineering's point of view, the main step is to digitize or gather three-dimensional points on an object rapidly and precisely. As well known, the non-contact digitizing apparatus using a laser or structured light can rapidly obtain a great bulk of digitized points, while the touch or scanning probe gives higher accuracy by directly contacting its stylus onto the part surface. By combining those two methods, unknown features can be digitized efficiently. The paper proposes a digitizing methodology using the approximated surface model obtained from laser-scanned data, followed by the use of a scanning probe. Each surface boundary curve and the confining area is investigated to select the most suitable digitizing path topology, which is similar to generating NC tool-paths. The methodology was tested with a simple physical model whose shape is comprised of a base surface, draft walls and cavity volumes.

Nowadays, as the development paeiod of new products becomes even shorter, the importance of Rapid Prototyping Technology(RPT) has been rapidly increased. The major application of RPT is an early verification of product designs and quick production of prototypes for testing. Moreover, RPT is applied not only as a second tooling process such as mold making and investment casting but also as a creating some physical structure in medical field. Despite the remarkable progress of RPT, it is required to improve various problems resulting from application such as production time, accuracy and materials. This paper presents a laser scan path generation for accuracy of stereolithographicparts The methodology of laser scan path generation is discussed based on the stereolithography, The procedure of this research is as follows : 1) Input laser scanning conditions such as a laser beam diameter and a laser scanning interval, 2) Reconstruct original contours without self intersecting offset, 3) Calculate offset about reconstructed contours, 4) Calculate intersection points between horizontal or vertical lines and offset contours for internal hatch, 5) Decide laser shutter on/off points. The algorithm developed and programmed by C language is verified as an efficient method after testing a number of STL files of mechanical parts.

In reverse engineering (RE) sustems, the quality of the data aquisition process is crucial to the accuracy of the reverse engineered three dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) model. However, these tasks are predominantly done manually, and little work has been done to improve the efficiency of scanning by determining the minimum number of scans and the optimal scanning directions. In this paper, new scanning and registration methods using tooling balls are developed to assist in determining the optimal parameter for these processes. When the object to scanned has no concavity, attaching path of the object and its bounding rectangle are used for optimal scanning and registration. Then minimum number of tooling balls and their positions are calculated automatically. In the case of concave parts, the scanning plan should include a complete scan of the concave area. With the surface normal vector and the scanning direction, the minimum degree of rotating the part can be calculated. But the maximum rotation should be restricted in order to prevent occlusion of the part. Finally tow sample part ar scanned based on the proposed methods and the results are discussed.

This study has analyzed the scanning path algorithm shown at the process of exploring spatial information through an observation experiment with the object of lobby in subway station. In the estimation of observation time by section, the frequency of scanning type was found to increase as the observation time got longer, which makes it possible that the longer the observation lasts the more the observation interruptions occur. In addition, the observation slipped out of the range of imaging when any fatigue was caused from the observation or the more active exploration took place. Furthermore, when the trend line was employed for the examination of the changes to the scanning type by time section, "concentration" "diagonal or vertical" showed a sharp and a gentle increases along with the increase of time section respectively, while "circulation. combination, horizontal" showed a reduction. The observation data of the subjects observing a space include various visual information. The analysis of the scanning type found at "attention concentration" enabled to draw this significant conclusion. The features of increase and decrease of scanning types can be a fundamental data for understanding the scanning tendency by time.
