LCD 디바이스는 그 동작원리와 전기-광학적 특성에 의해 CRT와는 다른 감마곡선 특성을 갖고 있다. 대부분의 LCD디스플레이 디바이스들의 감마곡선은 CRT와는 달리 일관성을 갖지 않을 뿐 더러 흑백계조입력을 기준으로 하는 감마보정을 위해 RED, GREEN, BLUE 입력값을 세부적으로 조정할 때 각 계조입력에 대한 상관색온도가 일정한 값을 갖지 않아 LCD의 특성에 대한 모델링과 보정에 어려움이 있다. 또한, 애플사의 맥머신 그리고 실리콘 그래픽스사의 시스템과 같이 소정의 감마값을 전제로 해당 시스템의 내부참조테이블(internal look-up table)이 설계되어 각기 다른 시스템감마를 가지는 장치들에 의해 인코딩되어진 영상출력신호의 경우, 동일한 시스템을 갖추거나 시스템감마에 대한 역감마특성을 가진 디스플레이장치가 아닌 환경에서는 원본영상에 대한 왜곡은 더욱 커질 수 있다. 특히, 낮은 흑백계조입력에서의 색온도의 경우, 파장에 따라 서로 다른 감쇄성능을 가진 일반적인 컬러필터의 특성에 의한 누설광(light leakage)에 의해 결정되며, 이로 인해 색온도가 특정한 객을 띄는 현상이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 LCD디스플레이의 감마곡선을 여러 가지 시스템감마에 대응할 수 있는 감마곡선예 일치시키고, 계조선형성을 동시에 개선하기 위하여 입력 디지털값과 삼자극치간 관계를 나타내는 여러 가지 컬러모델링 방법 중에서 PLCC(Piecewise Linear Interpolation assuming Constant Chromaticity coordinates)모델을 적용하고, 목표로 하는 감마곡선과 색온도를 만족하기 위한 새로운 입력값을 구한 후 이를 컬러참조테이블(color look-up table)예 적용하는 방법과 저계조에서의 색온도를 목표색온도에 근접시키는 방법을 제안한다.

For the design and set-up of neutron induced prompt ${\gamma}$-ray spectroscopy system using $^{252}Cf$ neutron source, the effects of shielding and moderator materials have been examined. The $^{252}Cf$ source being used for TLD badge calibration in Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute was utilized for this preliminary experiment. The ${\gamma}$-ray background and prompt ${\gamma}$-ray spectrum of the sample containing Cl were measured using HPGe (GMX 60% relative efficiency) located at the inside of the system connected to notebook PC at the outside of the system (about 20 meter distance). The background activities of neutron and ${\gamma}$-rays were measured with neutron survey meter as well as ${\gamma}$-ray survey meters, respectively and the system was designed to minimize the activities. Prompt ${\gamma}$-ray spectrum was measured using ${\gamma}$-${\gamma}$ coincident system for reduce the background and the continuum spectrum. The optimum system was designed and set up using the experimental data obtained.

Citrus peel extract was prepared using 70％ ethanol solution by two extraction conditions (20$^{\circ}C$ for 72 hours and 85$^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours). The effect of gamma-irradiation on the changes of physiological activity also investigated at 0, 5, 10 and 20 kGy of absorbed doses. Color characteristics, DPPH radical scavenging, tyrosinase inhibition and nitrite scavenging activities of the extracts were measured at 41$^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. Color values were different by extraction methods at the initial stage, which heat-extracted sample had lower L$\^$＊/ - but higher a$\^$＊/ - and b$\^$＊/ -values than those extracted at room temperature. Irradiation changed color of the extract lighter by increasing Hunter color L$\^$＊/ - and a$\^$＊/ -values. DPPH radical scavenging, tyrosinase inhibition and nitrite scavenging activities were not affected by either extraction methods or irradiation but significantly reduced by storage time. Therefore, when the cost-effective extraction methods is selected, the citrus peel extracts, which is a major byproduct in citrus processing, could be used as a functional material in various applications.

Gamma-oryzanol was prepared from rice bran, and added at 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.15% or 0.20%(w/w) to linoleic acid and ground pork to determine their antioxidant effect. Linoleic acid containing γ-oryzanol had significantly lower peroxide values than the control during the storage of 10 days at 40℃ compared to the control (P<0.05). The peroxide values of linoleic acids containing γ-oryzanol decreased as the addition level increased (P<0.05). Raw ground pork patties containing oryzanol 0.20% had significantly lower thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values as equivalent with butylated hydroxy anisole(BHA) when stored at 4℃ for 6 days. Cooked ground pork patties containing more than 0.05% of γ-oryzanol showed lower TBARS values than those containing BHA during storage at 4℃ for 4 days (P<0.05). This study indicated that γ-oryzanol can be used to inhibit lipid oxidation for meat and meat products.

AI-OCR (Artificial Intelligence Optical Character Recognition) combines OCR technology with Artificial Intelligence to overcome limitations that required human intervention. To enhance the performance of AI-OCR, training on diverse data sets is essential. However, the recognition rate declines when image colors have similar brightness levels. To solve this issue, this study employs Homomorphic filtering as a preprocessing step to clearly differentiate color levels, thereby increasing text recognition rates. While Homomorphic filtering is ideal for text extraction because of its ability to adjust the high and low frequency components of an image separately using a gamma value, it has the downside of requiring manual adjustments to the gamma value. This research proposes a range for gamma threshold values based on tests involving image contrast, brightness, and entropy. Experimental results using the proposed range of gamma values in Homomorphic filtering suggest a high likelihood for effective AI-OCR performance.

Although Gamma Knife irradiates much more radiation in a single session than conventional radiotherapy, there were only a few studies to measure absolute dose of a Gamma Knife. Especially, there is no report of application of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) TRS-398 which requires to use a water phantom in radiation measurement to Gamma Knife. In this article, the authors reported results of the experiments to measure the absorbed dose to water of a Gamma Knife Model C using the IAEA TRS-398 protocol. The absorbed dose to water of a Gamma Knife model C was measured using a water phantom under conditions as close as possible to the IAEA TRS-398 protocol. The obtained results were compared with values measured using the plastic phantom provided by the Gamma Knife manufacturer. Two Capintec PR-05P mini-chambers and a PTW UNIDOS electrometer were used in measurements. The absorbed dose to water of a Gamma Knife model C inside the water phantom was 1.38% larger than that of the plastic phantom. The current protocol provided by the manufacturer has an intrinsic error stems from the fact that a plastic phantom is used instead of a water phantom. In conclusion, it is not possible to fully apply IAEA TRS-398 to measurement of absorbed dose of a Gamma Knife. Instead, it can be a practical choice to build a new protocol for Gamma Knife or to provide a conversion factor from a water phantom to the plastic phantom. The conversion factor can be obtained in one or two standard laboratories.

In this paper, the shadow detection and reconstruction method are proposed using intrinsic image, which does not change the essential characteristics under the influence of various illuminance, and multi-scale gamma correction. The shadow detection was estimated by the pixel change information between a grayscale and an intrinsic image of the color image, and the brightness of the image were adjusted by gamma correction in the shadow restoration process. Multi-scale gamma correction is performed for each channel of a color image due to the fact that the saturation can be changed by nonlinear adjustment to individual pixel values. Multi-scale gamma values are estimated based on the information of the crossed edge between shadows and non-shadowed regions in the color image, as a result, the shadows are reconstructed by correcting different region features with multi-scale gamma values. Experimental results show that the proposed method effectively reconstructs shadows in a single natural image.

양념갈비의 품질 안정성 및 저장성 확보를 위한 일환으로 시판되는 양념갈비에 감마선 조사(0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 kGy)하여 포장 방법(함기 vs 진공) 및 저장 기간에 따른 양념갈비의 총균수, pH, 수분활성도, 전자공여능 및 지방산패도를 측정하였다. 감마선 조사한 양념갈비의 미생물 생육은 조사선량이 증가할수록 저하되었고 포장방법별로는 함기포장구보다 진공포장구가 미생물 생장억제에 더욱 효과적임을 확인하였다. pH는 함기포장구에서 저장 7일째 다소 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 포장방법과 조사선량에 따른 유의차가 나타나지 않았다. 감마선 조사한 양념갈비의 전자공여능은 저장기간에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 그 감소폭은 함기포장구가 진공포장구보다 크게 나타났다. TBARS값은 진공포장구의 경우 감마선 조사선량과 저장기간에 따라 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 그러나 함기포장구는 조사선량이 증가할수록 그리고 저장기간에 따라 유의적으로 증가하여 저장 7일째 진공포장구보다 2배의 높은 값을 나타내었다. 따라서 시판되는 양념갈비의 저장 중 유통 안전성을 확보하기 위한 감마선 조사의 사용에서 품질을 유지하기 위해서는 진공포장으로 유통하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 평균 밝기 부분에 가중치 맵으로써 감마 변환에 기반한 선형 결합을 제안하고자 한다. 기존의 패치를 기반으로 한 가중치 맵은 평균 밝기 부분에서 영상 내 밝기 값이 한쪽으로 치우쳐 영상의 밝은 부분이 과포화 상태가 되어 세부 정보가 손실되는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 전역적 및 지역적 영상의 평균 밝기 값을 이용하여 감마 변환된 값을 선형 결합 시켜줌으로써 영역 내 세부 정보를 보존시키고 주관적 화질을 향상시켰다. 실험을 통해 결과를 분석하고 성능을 비교하여 기존 알고리듬에 비해 제안한 알고리듬이 우수함을 증명하였다.

Histogram equalization generally has the disadvantage that if the distribution of the gray level of an image is concentrated in one place, then the range of the gray level in the output image is excessively expanded, which then produces a visually unnatural result. However, a gamma transformation can reduce such unnatural appearances since it operates under a nonlinear regime. Therefore, this paper proposes a new histogram equalization method that can improve image quality by using a gamma transformation. The proposed method 1) derives the proper form of the gamma transformation by using the average brightness of the input image, 2) linearly combines the earlier gamma transformation with a CDF (Cumulative Distribution Function) for the image in order to obtain a new CDF, and 3) to finally perform histogram equalization by using the new CDF. The experimental results show that relative to existing methods, the proposed method provides good performance in terms of quantitative measures, such as entropy, UIQ, SSIM, etc., and it also naturally enhances the image quality in visual perspective as well.
