A new implementation of the weight vector in a classifier based on an optical system using a volume holographic filter with a vector decomposition algorithm is proposed for high-speed data classification. Using a volume holographic filter, the correlation between the input and the decomposed weight vector is calculated for the classification score, which is the output from the decision function in the optical classifier. The authors experimentally demonstrate the core concept and confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method by executing a two-class classification problem using a volume hologram medium.

  • Preliminary experimental evaluation of microscopic imaging through thick biological tissues based on in-line phase-shift digital holography using near-infrared light
    Manami Ohta; Shutaro Kodama; Kanami Ikeda; Yutaka Kano; Yoko Miyamoto; Wolfgang Osten; Mitsuo Takeda; Eriko Watanabe
    Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering, SPIE, 11521, 2020, We previously proposed a three-dimensional microscopic imaging system for objects hidden behind scattering media using in-line phase-shift digital holography, which simultaneously captures amplitude and phase information. However, as the thickness of the scattering medium increases, the influence of scattering is enhanced, and the reconstructed image of the object behind the scattering medium deteriorates. In this paper, we report the evaluation of this image using a near-infrared light source with a wavelength of 780 nm that is capable of deep tissue penetration. A favorable microscopic image of the object behind the rat-skin sample of 912 μm-thickness was successfully reconstructed.

Microscopic three-dimensional imaging and phase quantification for objects hidden behind a scattering medium by using in-line phase-shift digital holography are proposed. A spatial resolution of 1.81 µm and highly accurate quantitative phase imaging are demonstrated for objects behind a scatter plate. Three-dimensional imaging was confirmed using objects with a depth difference of 1.32 mm. Further, imaging was performed using rat skin as a demonstration for imaging through a complex multilayer scattering medium, where a spatial resolution close to the theoretically predicted value was achieved by experiment.

The PLC-DHM can accurately measure the microscopic intensity and phase distribution, has a spatial resolution of 1.6 um, and provides highly accurate quantitative phase imaging. We also demonstrate three-dimensional and quantitative phase imaging of several biosamples using our PLC-DHM.

  • Improving stability of coaxial holographic optical correlation system using a simple disk structure
    Kanami Ikeda; Atsushi Fukumoto; Toshihiro Sugaya; Eriko Watanabe
    Optical Review, Springer Japan, 26, 2, 295-300, 01 Apr. 2018, Peer-reviwed, Optical correlation systems have been developed as hardware that is useful for high-speed and large-scale data analysis. Among them, our system using the disk-type hologram is promising because it can effectively utilize the control techniques of conventional optical disks. In previous work, however, we used a very simple disk structure consisting of a mirror substrate, photopolymer, and cover glass, and tracking control was not performed. Consequently, it was difficult to stably record a large amount of data in the long range of the circumference since the hologram recording position deviates from the disk circumference due to surface deflection and eccentricity attributed to rotation without tracking controls. In this study, we aim to stabilize the optical correlation system by introducing a new disk structure and conventional servo control. We confirmed that both sufficient correlation signal and servo control signals can be detected with the simple disk structure due to the signal detection principle of the optical correlation.

  • Optical correlator based image classifier
    Kanami Ikeda; Eriko Watanabe
    Optics InfoBase Conference Papers, Part F125-JSAP 2018, 2018, In data recognition systems with large capacity databases, it is very important to improve the speed of the identification process. Recently, a system with dedicated hardware based on field-programmable gate array was proposed for speeding up this operation [1], and there is a high expectation for further high-speed verification. We have developed and optimized an optical correlation system that can retrieve matched images from a large number of databases at high speed [2, 3]. So far, data transfer rates exceeding 140 Gbps have been achieved experimentally [4]. However, there is a problem that conventional optical correlation system is applicable only for the k-nearest neighbor method. Therefore, it was necessary to introduce a new method to apply high-speed optical correlation system for another data analysis method. In this study, we experimentally demonstrate an optical classifier based on the optical correlator.

  • Optical correlation-based cross-domain image retrieval system
    Kanami Ikeda; Hidenori Suzuki; Eriko Watanabe
    OPTICS LETTERS, OPTICAL SOC AMER, 42, 13, 2603-2606, Jul. 2017, Peer-reviwed, A novel cross-domain image retrieval system that is based on a high-speed optical correlator with a coaxial holographic system is presented. Our newly designed conversion module for the optical correlator allows various kinds of data to be converted to pagedata with a uniform optical intensity by using an autoencoder, which is difficult with other conventional methods. By using our conversion module, an existing model for deep learning could be utilized as a feature extractor. A sketch-based cross-domain image retrieval system with the goal of discovering similar photos by querying freehand human sketches was experimentally demonstrated using our optical correlator. We believe that this proposed optical correlation-based system helps expand the applications of the optical correlator. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America.

This hybrid system employs a simple method to obtain correlation signals and has a distributed network design. The correlation signals are acquired by using an encoder timing signal generated by a rotating disk, and the distributed network design facilitates the replacement and combination of the digital correlation server and the optical correlator.

    Kanami Ikeda; Eriko Watanabe
    JAPANESE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS, IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 54, 9, 54(9S)-09ME02, Sep. 2015, Peer-reviwed, A high-speed volume holographic optical correlator is developed, which takes advantage of a coaxial holographic system. We have realized this high-speed correlator using an optimal design of the signal pattern, which improves the shift multiplex recording shift pitch. The speed of this correlator was further improved by increasing the number of pixels in the spatial light modulator and using a high speed rotating actuator. This correlation system successfully achieved an equal error rate of 0% by performing optical correlation over 900 times. It also achieved optical correlation experiment, at a shift pitch of 2.45 mu m and a disk rotation speed of 900 rpm. In terms of optical correlation calculation speed, it yielded a peak interval of 542 ns, which corresponds to 1.846 x 10(6) frames per second. (C) 2015 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

  • Portable digital holographic microscope using spherical reference beam
    Eriko Watanabe; Kazuhiro Hoshino; Shuichi Takeuchi
    OPTICAL REVIEW, OPTICAL SOC JAPAN, 22, 2, 342-348, Apr. 2015, Peer-reviwed, In this study, we developed and evaluated a portable digital holographic microscope (DHM) using a spherical reference beam. To reduce the size of this DHM, we replaced the objective lens with a small aspherical single lens, which produces the spherical reference beam. In addition, integrating the CCD camera and beam splitter yielded a simplified alignment along with further microscope compactness, resulting in a DHM with dimensions of 150 (W) x 470 (D) x 244.5 (H) mm(3), which is a portable size. The spatial resolution of the developed DHM was evaluated and a value of 870 nm was experimentally obtained, similar to the theoretical resolution of 851 nm. In addition, we conducted measurements on leukemia cells to evaluate the applicability of our novel microscope to cystoscopy.

  • Reducing input data via image categorization to improve the speed of copyright content management systems
    Kanami Ikeda; Eriko Watanabe
    OPTICAL REVIEW, OPTICAL SOC JAPAN, 22, 1, 93-98, Feb. 2015, Peer-reviwed, An optical correlator has the advantage of high data transfer speed and parallel operation. However, in copyright content management systems (CCMSs), the numerous video files that need to be downloaded from the Internet and input to the optical correlator constitute a bottleneck. This paper proposes an image categorization method for CCMSs that uses the difference in the color features between animation and live-action images to remove this bottleneck and increase the speed of CCMSs. The results of experiments conducted indicate that the proposed method achieves a live-action video true rejection rate of 86.7 % and an animation video false rejection rate of 13.3 %. This indicates that the proposed method can improve the overall speed of a CCMS more than twice the original speed.

  • Compact optical duplicate system for satellite-ground laser communications: application of averaging effects
    Tomoko Nakayama; Yoshihisa Takayama; Chiemi Fujikawa; Eriko Watanabe; Kashiko Kodate
    Optical Review, SpringerOpen, 21, 5, 659-667, 03 Oct. 2014, In recent years, there has been considerable interest in satellite-ground laser communication due to an increase in the quantity of data exchanged between satellites and the ground. However, improving the quality of this data communication is necessary as laser communication is vulnerable to air fluctuation. We first verify the spatial and temporal averaging effects using light beam intensity images acquired from middle-range transmission experiments between two ground positions and the superposition of these images using simulations. Based on these results, we propose a compact and lightweight optical duplicate system as a multi-beam generation device with which it is easy to apply the spatial averaging effect. Although an optical duplicate system is already used for optical correlation operations, we present optimum design solutions, design a compact optical duplicate system for satellite-ground laser communications, and demonstrate the efficacy of this system using simulations.

  • High-precision microscopic phase imaging without phase unwrapping for cancer cell identification
    Eriko Watanabe; Takashi Hoshiba; Bahram Javidi
    Optics Letters, 38, 8, 1319-1321, 15 Apr. 2013, Peer-reviwed, Experiments for cell identification are presented using a high-precision cell phase measurement system that does not require any phase unwrapping. This system is based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer using a phase-locking technique, and it measures the change in optical path length while the sample is scanned across the optical axis. The spatial resolution is estimated to be less than 1.1 μm. The sensitivity of optical path length difference is estimated to be less than 2 nm. Using experiments, we investigate the potential of this approach for cancer cell identification. In our preliminary experiments, cancer cells were distinguished from normal cells through comparison of optical path length differences. © 2013 Optical Society of America.

  • High-speed holographic correlation system for video identification on the Internet
    Eriko Watanabe; Kanami Ikeda; Kashiko Kodate
    Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering, SPIE, 9042, 2013, Automatic video identification is important for indexing, search purposes, and removing illegal material on the Internet. By combining a high-speed correlation engine and web-scanning technology, we developed the Fast Recognition Correlation system (FReCs), a video identification system for the Internet. FReCs is an application thatsearches through a number of websites with user-generated content (UGC) and detects video content that violates copyright law. In this paper, we describe the FReCs configuration and an approach to investigating UGC websites using FReCs. The paper also illustrates the combination of FReCs with an optical correlation system, which is capable of easily replacing a digital authorization sever in FReCs with optical correlation. © 2013 Copyright SPIE.

  • High-speed holographic correlation system by a time-division recording method for copyright content management on the Internet
    Eriko Watanabe; Kanami Ikeda; Kashiko Kodate
    OPTICS AND PHOTONICS FOR INFORMATION PROCESSING VI, SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, 8498, 2012, Peer-reviwed, Using a holographic disc memory on which a huge amount of data can be stored, we constructed an ultra-high-speed, all-optical correlation system. In this method, multiplex recording is, however, restricted to "one page" on "one spot." In addition, signal information must be normalized as data of the same size, even if the object data size is smaller. Therefore, this system is difficult to apply to part of the object data scene (i.e., partial scene searching and template matching), while maintaining high accessibility and programmability. In this paper, we develop a holographic correlation system by a time division recording method that increases the number of multiplex recordings on the same spot. Assuming that a four-channel detector is utilized, 15 parallel correlations are achieved by a time-division recording method. Preliminary correlation experiments with the holographic optical disc setup are carried out by high correlation peaks at a rotational speed of 300 rpm. We also describe the combination of an optical correlation system for copyright content management that searches the Internet and detects illegal contents on video sharing websites.

  • Two-dimensional phase imaging based on closed-loop feedback control
    Eriko Watanabe; Miki Toshima; Chiemi Fujikawa
    Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering, 8134, 368-369, 2011, Peer-reviwed, Quantitative phase microscopy with a closed-loop feedback control is described. The system is based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer using a phase-locking technique and measures the change in optical path length while the sample is scanned across the optical axis. The important feature of this system is no need for any unwrapping process, which allows us to measure the sample with highly precise around 2πradian. The spatial resolution is estimated to be less than 1μm, which is limited by the Rayleigh criterion and the sample thickness. The path length resolution is estimated to be less than 1nm, which corresponds to the change in refractive index less than 10-3 for the sample of 10μm thick. Precise measurements of quantitative phase images by a volume phase holographic grating or a multi-level zone plate array validate the principle and show the accuracy of the methods. The samples depending on wavelength with the pigment such as red blood cell and diatom cells are measured by different wavelength. We quantify its accuracy by measuring calibrated test samples. The technique is applicable to examination of limitation of passage culture, biological cell imaging for diagnosis. © 2011 SPIE.

    渡邉恵理子; 小舘香椎子
    電子部品・材料研究会(CPM)、電子情報通信学会, The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, CPM2010, 83, 15-19, Sep. 2010, Peer-reviwed, We proposed the super high-speed FARCO 2.0 that integrates optical correlation technology used in the FARCO and a co-axial holographic data storage system. Preliminary correlation experiments were carried out at a rotation speed of 600 rpm for image recording holographic disc with photopolymer (size : 12 cm, thickness : 500 μm) at a multiplex recording pitch of 20 μm. We obtained highly accurate experimental results and a proven Equal Error Rate of 0.06%. These results demonstrated that the operational speed for correlation (173,000 frames/s), with a transfer rate of 7.5 Gbps, confirmed its excellent performance and speed, compared with the conventional digital signal processing architecture.

    Eriko Watanabe; Anna Naito; Kashiko Kodate
    Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering, 7442, 7442OX, 2009, Peer-reviwed, We have developed prototype of a compact optical correlator for video copyright protection that integrates the optical correlation technology used in FARCO (Fast Recognition Optical Correlation) and a holographic storage system. Using the ability of parallel transformation as optical holographic memory, the recognition rate can be vastly improved. In addition, large capacity of optical storage allowed us to increase the amount of reference database. Using its rapid processing capability, a robust recognition system can be constructed by registering video image data. We expect that this optical correlation system is simple and energy-saving, and provides ultrahigh speed system compared with conventional server. This system enables use of an image search system in various fields where it has not previously been possible to use such systems. © 2009 SPIE.

    Eriko Watanabe; Yuki Ichikawa; Reiko Akiyama; Kashiko Kodate
    JAPANESE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS, JAPAN SOCIETY APPLIED PHYSICS, 47, 7, 5964-5967, Jul. 2008, Peer-reviwed, The volume of information we handle is markedly increasing as a result of the change from text data to still and moving image files. In this paper, we propose and describe fabrication of a much higher speed search engine for image and video data using a holographic optical disc system. Preliminary correlation experiments using the holographic optical disc setup show an excellent performance as indicated by high correlation peaks and low error rates at a multiplexing pitch of 10 mu m, and a rotational speed of 300 rpm. It is clear that the processing speed of our optical holographic calculation is markedly higher than the conventional digital signal processing architecture. This system can also be applied to various search engine systems.

  • A highly accurate face recognition system using filtering correlation
    Eriko Watanabe; Sayuri Ishikawa; Kashiko Kodate
    OPTICAL REVIEW, OPTICAL SOC JAPAN, 14, 5, 255-259, Sep. 2007, Peer-reviwed, The authors previously constructed a highly accurate fast face recognition optical correlator (FARCO) [E. Watanabe and K. Kodate: Opt. Rev. 12 (2005) 460], and subsequently developed an improved, super high-speed FARCO (SFARCO), which is able to process several hundred thousand frames per second. The principal advantage of our new system is its wide applicability to any correlation scheme. Three different configurations were proposed, each depending on correlation speed. This paper describes and evaluates a software correlation filter. The face recognition function proved highly accurate, seeing that a low-resolution facial image size (64 x 64 pixels) has been successfully implemented. An operation speed of less than 10 ms was achieved using a personal computer with a central processing unit (CPU) of 3 GHz and 2 GB memory. When we applied the software correlation filter to a high-security cellular phone face recognition system, experiments on 30 female students over a period of three months yielded low error rates: 0% false acceptance rate and 2% false rejection rate. Therefore, the filtering correlation works effectively when applied to low resolution images such as web-based images or faces captured by a monitoring camera. (C) 2007 The Optical Society of Japan.

    Kaoru Nakajima; Yuki Komai; Eriko Watanabe; Fumi Moritsuka; Shirnako Anzal; Kashiko Kodate
    OPTICAL REVIEW, OPTICAL SOC JAPAN, 14, 4, 201-207, Jul. 2007, We designed and developed a volume phase holographic (VPH) grism with high resolution and high efficiency in the near-infrared light domain (1550 nm) to be applied as a wavelength de-multiplexing device of a photonic network. In order to achieve both diffraction efficiency of over 80% and wavelength resolution of 0.08 nm, we newly designed and fabricated a VPH grism with high efficiency and high wavelength resolution in near-infrared wavelength region by sandwiching, a VPH grating between prisms. An active feedback control technique was introduced to a two-beam interference exposure system. and we also applied it to a wavelength de-multiplexing device for a photonic network. Consequently, a VPH grism was successfully fabricated with diffraction efficiency of over 80% by employing the Bragg condition of 1550 mu at the incident wavelength from 1530 to 1570 rim, and high refractive index modulation of 0.047 was confirmed.

    電気学会論文誌C, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan, 127, 4, 636-643, 2007, Peer-reviwed, We propose a high security facial recognition system using a cellular phone on the mobile network. This system is composed of a face recognition engine based on optical phase correlation which uses phase information with emphasis on a Fourier domain, a control sever and the cellular phone with a compact camera for taking pictures, as a portable terminal. Compared with various correlation methods, our face recognition engine revealed the most accurate EER of less than 1%. By using the JAVA interface on this system, we implemented the stable system taking pictures, providing functions to prevent spoofing while transferring images. This recognition system was tested on 300 women students and the results proved this system effective.

  • Measurement of refractive index of photopolymer for holographic gratings
    Eriko Watanabe; Jun Mizuno; Chiemi Fujikawa; Kashiko Kodate
    PRACTICAL HOLOGRAPHY XXI: MATERIALS AND APPLICATIONS, SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, 6488, 2007, Peer-reviwed, We have made attempts to measure directly the small-scale variation of optical path lengths in photopolymer samples. For those with uniform thickness, the measured quantity is supposed to be proportional to the refractive index of the photopolymer. The system is based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer using phase-locking technique and measures the change in optical path length during the sample is scanned across the optical axis. The spatial resolution is estimated to be 2 mu m, which is limited by the sample thickness. The path length resolution is estimated to be 6nm, which corresponds to the change in refractive index less than 10(-3) for the sample of 10 mu m thick. The measurement results showed clearly that the refractive index of photopolymer is not simply proportional to the exposure energy, contrary to the conventional photosensitive materials such as silver halide emulsion and dichromated gelatine. They also revealed the refractive index fluctuation in uniformly exposed photopolymer sample, which explains the milky appearance that sometimes observed in thick samples.

  • Optical correlator for face recognition using collinear holographic system
    Eriko Watanabe; Kashiko Kodate
    JAPANESE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS PART 1-REGULAR PAPERS BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS & REVIEW PAPERS, JAPAN SOC APPLIED PHYSICS, 45, 8B, 6759-6761, Aug. 2006, Peer-reviwed, We have constructed an optical correlator for fast face recognition. Recognition rate can be markedly improved, if reference images are optically recorded and can be accessed directly without converting,them to digital signals. In addition, a large capacity of optical storage allows us to increase the size of the reference database. We propose a new optical correlator that integrates the optical correlation technology used in our face recognition system and collinear holography. From preliminary correlation experiments using the collinear optical set-up, we achieved excellent performance of high correlation peaks and low error rates. We expect an optical correlation of 10 mu s/frame, i.e., 100,000 face/s when applied to face recognition. This system can also be applied to various image searches.

    Eriko Watanabe; Kashiko Kodate
    OPTICAL PATTERN RECOGNITON XVII, SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, 6245, 62450E-1, 2006, Peer-reviwed, We propose an image search engine that integrates collinear holography and the optical correlation technology used in FARCO. From preliminary correlation experiments using the collinear optical set-up, we achieved excellent performance of high correlation peaks and low error rates. We expect optical correlation of 10 mu s/frame assuming 12,000 pages of hologram in one track rotating at 600rpm. It follows that it is possible to take correlation at the speed of more than 100,000faces/s when applied to face recognition. This system can also be applied for High-Vision image searching.

  • A Ulexite-based animation recording system by random reference patterns
    Yuko Ishii; Misako Irisawa; Yoshihisa Takayama; Eriko Watanabe; Kashiko Kodate
    PRACTICAL HOLOGRAPHY XX: MATERIALS AND APPLICATIONS, SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, 6136, 205-213, 2006, Peer-reviwed, We propose a simple, compact and high-security holographic optical memory system using Ulexite in order to produce random patterns of reference beam. 100 hologram multiplexing was achieved by multiplexing exposure, rotating Ulexite by 0.2 degrees every time with LiNbO3 crystal as a recording medium. Moreover, with this system, animation readout images can play for approximately 8 seconds by continuous rotation of Ulexite. As a natural stone, the exactly same Ulexite is very difficult to be found or replicated. Basic experimental results show that Ulexite can be used as a security key for its image-reproducibility and BER calculations.

  • Constructing a three-dimensional face model by a stereo method and its application to optical parallel face recognition
    E Watanabe; N Arima; K Kodate
    ICO20: OPTICAL INFORMATION PROCESSING, PTS 1 AND 2, SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, 6027, 112-118, 2006, Peer-reviwed, The authors have proposed and fabricated the FARCO (Fast Face Recognition Optical Correlator) based on Vanderlugt Correlator(1) with a super-higher-speed of 1000 faceS/S-2'3. Using its rapid data processing capability, a robust recognition system can be constructed by registering three-dimensional (3-D) face data. There are a number of techniques to obtain 3-D data. Since the system deals with people, it is desirable that instant measurement and non-contact data processing are secured. To meet these requirements, we took photographs and created database of facial images adopting three digital cameras based on the stereo method. Three simultaneously-photographed images were given angular variations from top to bottom and from left to right by 3-D modeling by use of the software. Using our database and these facial images with angular variations, we proceeded on to examination of the system performance, following the algorithm for recognizing images in motion. The paper begins with the process of constructing, the first database for facial images using 3-D model, with those image files made by three cameras. Photographs were taken from the front and to right and left 15degrees. The 3-D model is constructed by these facial images. Making the database from the 3-D model, two-dimensional (2-D) facial images are clipped from part of the model at shifting in each 5degrees from top to bottom, and then from left to right. As a result, the facial images with angular variations were correctly recognized in the database. Through the assessment, the 3-D modeling system proved to be most effective.

  • Constructing a safety and security system by medical applications of a fast face recognition optical parallel correlator
    E Watanabe; M Ishikawa; M Ohta; Y Murakami; K Kodate
    ICO20: OPTICAL INFORMATION PROCESSING, PTS 1 AND 2, SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, 6027, 119-124, 2006, Peer-reviwed, Medical errors and patient safety have always received a great deal of attention, as they can be critically life-threatening and significant matters. Hospitals and medical personnel are trying their utmost to avoid these errors. Currently in the medical field, patients' record is identified through their PIN numbers and ID cards. However, for patients who cannot speak or move, or who suffer from memory disturbances, alternative methods would be more desirable, and necessary in some cases.
    The authors previously proposed and fabricated a specially-designed correlator called FARCO (Fast Face Recognition Optical Correlator) based on the Vanderlugt Correlator(1), which operates at the speed of 1000 faces/s(2,3,4). Combined with high-speed display devices, the four-channel processing could achieve such high operational speed as 4000 faces/s. Running trial experiments on a 1-to-N identification basis using the optical parallel correlator, we succeeded in acquiring low error rates of 1 % FMR and 2.3 % FNMR.
    In this paper, we propose a robust face recognition system using the FARCO for focusing on the safety and security of the medical field. We apply our face recognition system to registration of inpatients, in particular children and infants, before and after medical treatments or operations. The proposed system has recorded a higher recognition rate by multiplexing both input and database facial images from moving images. The system was also tested and evaluated for further practical use, leaving excellent results. Hence, our face recognition system could function effectively as an integral part of medical system, meeting these essential requirements of safety, security and privacy.

  • Fast face-recognition optical parallel correlator using high accuracy correlation filter
    E Watanabe; K Kodate
    OPTICAL REVIEW, OPTICAL SOC JAPAN, 12, 6, 460-466, Nov. 2005, We designed and fabricated a fully automatic fast face recognition optical parallel correlator [E. Watanabe and K. Kodate: Appl. Opt. 44 (2005) 5666] based on the VanderLugt principle. The implementation of an as-yet unattained ultra high-speed system was aided by reconfiguring the system to make it suitable for easier parallel processing, as well as by composing a higher accuracy correlation filter and high-speed ferroelectric liquid crystal-spatial light modulator (FLC-SLM). In running trial experiments using this system (dubbed FARCO), we succeeded in acquiring remarkably low error rates of 1.3% for false match rate (FMR) and 2.6% for false non-match rate (FNMR). Given the results of our experiments, the aim of this paper is to examine methods of designing correlation filters and arranging database image arrays for even faster parallel correlation, underlining the issues of calculation technique, quantization bit rate, pixel size and shift from optical axis. The correlation filter has proved its excellent performance and higher precision than classical correlation and joint transform cor-relator (JTC). Moreover, arrangement of multi-object reference images leads to 10-channel correlation signals, as sharply marked as those of a single channel. This experiment result demonstrates great potential for achieving the process speed of 10000 face/s. (c) 2005 The Optical Society of Japan.

  • Implementation of a high-speed face recognition system that uses an optical parallel correlator
    E Watanabe; K Kodate
    APPLIED OPTICS, OPTICAL SOC AMER, 44, 5, 666-676, Feb. 2005, Peer-reviwed, We implement a fully automatic fast face recognition system by using a 1000 frame/s optical parallel correlator designed and assembled by us. The operational speed for the 1:N (i.e., matching one image against N, where N refers to the number of images in the database) identification experiment (4000 face images) amounts to less than 1.5 s, including the preprocessing and postprocessing times. The binary real-only matched filter is devised for the sake of face recognition, and the system is optimized by the false-rejection rate (FRR) and the false-acceptance rate (FAR), according to 300 samples selected by the biometrics guideline. From trial 1:N identification experiments with the optical parallel correlator, we acquired low error rates of 2.6% FRR and 1.3% FAR. Facial images of people wearing thin glasses or heavy makeup that rendered identification difficult were identified with this system. 0 2005 Optical Society of America.

  • High-accuracy and robust face recognition system based on optical parallel correlator using a temporal image sequence
    Eriko Watanabe; Mami Ishikawa; Maiko Ohta; Kashiko Kodate
    Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering, 5908, 1-8, 2005, Peer-reviwed, Face recognition is used in a wide range of security systems, such as monitoring credit card use, searching for individuals with street cameras via Internet and maintaining immigration control. There are still many technical subjects under study. For instance, the number of images that can be stored is limited under the current system, and the rate of recognition must be improved to account for photo shots taken at different angles under various conditions. We implemented a fully automatic Fast Face Recognition Optical Correlator (FARCO) system by using a 1000 frame/s optical parallel correlator designed and assembled by us. Operational speed for the 1: N (i.e. matching a pair of images among N, where N refers to the number of images in the database) identification experiment (4000 face images) amounts to less than 1.5 seconds, including the pre/post processing. From trial 1: N identification experiments using FARCO, we acquired low error rates of 2.6% False Reject Rate and 1.3% False Accept Rate. By making the most of the high-speed data-processing capability of this system, much more robustness can be achieved for various recognition conditions when large-category data are registered for a single person. We propose a face recognition algorithm for the FARCO while employing a temporal image sequence of moving images. Applying this algorithm to a natural posture, a two times higher recognition rate scored compared with our conventional system. The system has high potential for future use in a variety of purposes such as search for criminal suspects by use of street and airport video cameras, registration of babies at hospitals or handling of an immeasurable number of images in a database.

  • Facial recognition system with compact optical parallel correlator using vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser array module
    E Watanabe; N Arima; K Kodate
    JAPANESE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS PART 1-REGULAR PAPERS BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS & REVIEW PAPERS, JAPAN SOC APPLIED PHYSICS, 43, 8B, 5890-5896, Aug. 2004, Peer-reviwed, The design and trial fabrication of a two-dimensional light-source module is presented for application to an optical parallel correlator for facial recognition. The light-source module is composed of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser array and a multilevel zone-plate array as a collimating lens. This module is about 1/10 the size of the conventional light source module and the optical parallel correlator has a size of 16.1 x 1.3 x 23 cm(3), weight of 4.4 kg, and a throughput time of 19 faces/s. In an experimental evaluation of the system through one-to-one correlation using a database of 300 front facial images, the false match and false non-match rates were less than 1%. The optical system presented here is therefore robust to a variety of changes in facial expressions and is highly applicable in security systems.

  • Security applications of optical face recognition system: Access control in e-learning
    R Inaba; E Watanabe; K Kodate
    OPTICAL REVIEW, OPTICAL SOC JAPAN, 10, 4, 255-261, Jul. 2003, Peer-reviwed, The educational system has gradually shifted from a face-to-face to an e-learning system, which has become prevalent in advanced countries with the advance of information technology, and connection of global networks. Accordingly, a growing demand is emerging for more reliable individual certification with technical precision in order to measure and record learning achievements and credentials of participants. The present system has a limit in terms of registration capacity, therefore, its accuracy has often been questioned. Against this background, an individual certification system is proposed particularly for access control in e-learning. Under our proposed system, a compact optical correlator for facial recognition is employed. This correlator was previously tested for of biometrics authentication accuracy and proved highly reliable, having recorded remarkably low error rates (below 1%). The recorded error rate is sufficiently robust that the system itself can be regarded as a valid and practical viable attestation system.

    PRACTICAL HOLOGRAPHY XVII AND HOLOGRAPHIC MATERIALS IX, SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, 5005, 345-356, 2003, Peer-reviwed, We present a design procedure and a trial fabrication of a new two-dimensional light source module composed of a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) array and a multi-level zone plate (MLZP) array as collimate lens. Furthermore, its application to an optical parallel correlator (named MLCOPaC) for facial recognition is also exhibited. The size is reduced by one-fifth (size: 16.1x13x23cm(3), weight 4.4kg) and the throughput time of MLCOPaC with twelve parallel channels module is also, improved to record 19 faces/s which is 3 times faster than the second-generation compact parallel correlator (COPaCII). By experimentally evaluating the system through one-to-one correlation using 300 database of front facial images, two kinds of error; False Match Rate 1.7% and False Non-Match Rate 1%, were obtained. Consequently, our system proved robust as applications to a security apparatus such as PC log-in or entry control for network systems.

    K Oka; A Yamada; Y Komai; E Watanabe; N Ebizuka; T Teranishi; M Kawabata; K Kodate
    PRACTICAL HOLOGRAPHY XVII AND HOLOGRAPHIC MATERIALS IX, SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, 5005, 8-19, 2003, Peer-reviwed, We have developed grisms, designed for astronomical observation with the 8.2m Subaru telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. In order to improve both efficiency and cost, we proposed a new type of grism by sandwiching a volume phase holographic (VPH) grating between two prisms, dubbed "VPH grism". Photosensitive materials are required for fabrication of VPH grating with high groove density. In this paper, we employed the liquid photopolymer with high viscosity. Using the analysis program valid for the refractive index modulation grating of the rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA), we were able to design and fabricate a grism prototype with good performance. Prom the data we obtained, it was ascertained that the experimental VPH grism had excellent performance. We further aimed to develop a VPH grism with higher dispersion and efficiency by making use of a new photopolymer that has larger refractive index modulation than the present material.

  • Facial recognition by a compact parallel optical correlator
    K Kodate; R Inaba; E Watanabe; T Kamiya
    MEASUREMENT SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 13, 11, 1756-1766, Nov. 2002, With the progress of information technology, the need for an accurate personal identification system based on biological characteristics is increasing the demand for this type of security technology instead of conventional systems using ID cards or pin numbers. Among other features, the face is the most familiar element and is less subject to psychological resistance. As a simple and compact recognition system satisfying the required performance, we implemented a hybrid system based on the optical recognition principle using a multi-level zone plate as a Fourier-transform lens and we report the preliminary results of their application to face recognition.
    In this paper, we present the design procedure and fabrication process for an improved version of a second-generation compact parallel correlator (named COPaC 11), the size of which is 20 x 24 x 43 cm(3) and weight 6 kg. As a result, we obtained a low error rate of 0% as the false match rate and 0.3% as the false non-match rate, thus the COPaC 11 significant identification security level is sufficiently stable. With the aim of further enhancing the throughput and robustness, we conducted performance tests where the system is used as a computer log-in device and as a pre-screening device for crime investigation. In both experiments, a high rate of successful recognition, such as 90% recognition and 94% rejection rate for log-in, was obtained. Experiments on twins to check the disguise recognition, and on the effects of changes in brightness and arbitrary size of images to test its robustness are also included.

    IEEJ Transactions on Electronics, Information and Systems, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan, 122, 8, 1259-1265, 2002, Peer-reviwed, We have so far designed and constructed a facial recognition system based on the optical parallel Joint Transform Correlator combined with a digital computer. In addition to this, we devices a compact prototype PJTC (COPaC) and examined it for a practical use. According to the guideline for identification using biometrics, we carried out the accuracy evaluation by one-to-one collation using 300 facial images. We ascertained its performance to be remarkably precise and thus reliable.
    In this paper, we proposed the Real-time individual authentication system in the mobile network, which is based on an optical correlation. It was examined for the influence of the camera resolution, image compression and background removal. Consequently, we confirmed that this system is highly robust against these potential influences. Moreover, we tested this in a wireless LAN environment, and verified its high possibility for a further facial identification use.

    MICRO- AND NANO-OPTICS FOR OPTICAL INTERCONNECTION AND INFORMATION PROCESSING, SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, 4455, 42-50, 2001, Peer-reviwed, Individual identification based on biological characteristics such as fingerprint, iris and countenance is regarded as a highly essential technique in security systems. As a simple and rapid recognition system satisfying required performance, we have proposed an opto-electronic system, which combines a parallel joint transform correlator (PJTC) with a personal computer. In this paper, the PJTC method using a new design multiple diffractive optical element as a Fourier transform lens was reviewed and proved to be one of the most practical optical computers for face recognition. Furthermore, based on these first trial results, we proposed the design and fabrication of a portable type compact PJTC (COPaC), of which the size is 23 x15 x 16.3 cm and the weight is 4kg. We obtained its high accuracy performance for one-to-one correlation using 300 front facial images in a database and proved its practicability. Additionally we performed experiments on ID-less discrimination of twins who look alike for human eyes. Successful recognition rate was obtained, indicating its excellent performance and feasibility.

  • Compact parallel joint transform correlator for facial recognition
    R Inaba; N Kawakami; K Oguma; E Watanabe; K Kodate
    OPTICS IN COMPUTING 2000, SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, 4089, 384-392, 2000, Peer-reviwed, We discuss the design of a compact parallel joint transform correator (PJTC) using four binary zone plate array (BZPA) as a Fourier transform lens. The external dimensions of the hybrid opt-electronic correlator is 23 cm x 15 cm x 16.3 cm, which includes the PJTC system in the upper stage and some of driving circuits and an LD for a light source in the lower stage.: Experimentally, we implemented this compact PJTC system for facial recognition with database of 100 persons and obtained reliable discrimination results. Furthermore, we propose a novel method of pre-processing so that any general users could easily operate the compact PJTC system and constantly obtained the same size extracted images, by fixing three points; the:edges of both eyes and the low end of nose, when normalizing the facial image size. We confirmed the ability of our system to meet the conditions for recognition by JTC.

  • デジタルコンテンツ視聴に関する大学生の実態調査 ―著作権侵害に対する一考察―
    稲葉利江子; 山﨑礼実; 渡邉恵理子; 小舘香椎子
    近年、スマートフォン・タブレット端末の普及にともない、デジタルコンテンツ視聴の機会が増えてきている。これまで、経済産業省の委託事業等からリーチサイトやストレージサイトによる違法コンテンツの流通が問題となってきている。さらに、2012年の著作権法改正により違法コンテンツのダウンロードに対する刑事罰化が施行されたが、一般に、その内容を正確に理解されているのかが疑問である。そこで、大学生を対象に、デジタルコンテンツ視聴に関する実態調査を行なった。さらに、コンテンツの公式性の意識についてもヒアリング調査も含め実施したので、その結果を報告する。, 11 Mar. 2014, 第76回全国大会講演論文集, 2014, 1, 551-552, Japanese, 170000086530, AN00349328

    In recent years, tablet devices and smart phones are gaining popularity by leaps and bounds. In connection with it, applications of digital contents on the mobile devices are also increasing. In dealing with the problem of illegal contents on so-called "reach-site", measures have been taken. However, little research has been conducted to examine the actual situation for such applications yet In this paper, we report the results of a basic survey. We would like to clarify the current status of various applications dealing with illegal contents. We found that reach-sites are present in many applications. In addition, we have discovered that copyright infringement utilizing the structure of the application-specific has been widespread., Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ), 04 Sep. 2013, IPSJ SIG Notes, 2013, 34, 1-6, Japanese, 0919-6072, 110009605044, AN10116224
