  • An image sensor has limited dynamic range while the human eye has logarithmic response over wide range of light intensity. Although the sensor gain can be set high to identify details in darker area on the image, this results in saturation in brighter area. The gamma correction is essential to fit the human eye response. However, the digital gamma correction degrades image quality especially for darker area on the image due to the limited ADC resolution and the dynamic range. This Paper proposes a CMOS image sensor (CIS) with a nonlinear analog-to-digital converter (AU) which performs analog gamma correction. The CIS with the proposed nonlinear analog-to-digital conversion scheme was fabricated with a $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The analog gamma correction using the proposed nonlinear ADC CIS provides the 2.2dB peak-signal-to-noise-ratio(PSM) improved image qualify than conventional digital gamma correction. The PSNR of the image obtain from the digital gamma correction is 25.6dB while it is 27.8dB for analog gamma correction. The PSNR improvement over digital gamma correction is about $28.8\%$.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 임계 근처에서 반응도 미터로 계단식 반응도 변화를 측정할 때는 중성자원과 감마의 영향 하에서도 정확한 반응도를 결정할 수 있으며, 중성자원과 감마를 측정할 수도 있다. 중성자원과 감마의 영향은 없으나 중성자 분포 함수만 변하는 경우에는 계산으로 예측한 분포 함수의 변화로 측정된 중성자 신호를 보정하여 반응도를 예측할 수 있다. 그러나 중성자원, 감마, 분포 함수가 복합적으로 작용하는 경우에 대하여는 이러한 방법을 적용할 수 없다. 이 매 중성자원과 감마의 영향만 있는 경우에 적용하는 방법을 쓰면 분포 함수의 변화가 측정 결과에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 그 결과 분포 함수의 변화도 어느 정도 측정이 가능하며, 계산으로 예측하는 분포 함수의 변화로 측정 결과를 단순 보정하여 실제 반응도를 예측할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

  • A preliminary study was made for density correction for the effect of separation between sonde and borehole wall due to the existence of casing in a borehole. Firstly, series of gamma-gamma measurements were obtained with 3 different separations in 3 different density models constructed in Kangwon National University. Secondly, density correction charts were made based on the 'spine and ribs' technique in mud cake correction. Using these charts, we could determine effectively the true density from the measurement in the thinly cased borehole.

  • The changing light condition of scene cause the luminance fluctuation of the captured image sequences. this artifact is called flicker, and would be easily recognized as visually unstable fluctuation. As the flicker degrades the performance of extracting useful information from image sequences, such as motion information or segmentation, it should be correction and linear flicker model. The algorithm model the flicker effects as a linear system with gain and offset parameter and estimates gain parameter with Gamma correction. The flicker reduction is performed by applying these parameters inversely th the ordinal sequences. To show the performance, we test out algorithm th the ground-truth sequences with the artificially added luminance fluctuation and real sequence with object motion.

  • Purpose: Generally a whole body bone scan has been known as one of the most frequently executed exams in the nuclear medicine fields. Asan medical center, usually use various gamma camera systems - manufactured by PHILIPS (PRECEDENCE, BRIGHTVIEW), SIEMENS (ECAM, ECAM signature, ECAM plus, SYMBIA T2), GE (INFINIA) - to execute whole body scan. But, as we know, each camera's sensitivity is not same so it is hard to consistent diagnosis of patients. So our purpose is when we execute whole body bone scans, we exclude uncontrollable factors and try to correct controllable factors such as inherent sensitivity of gamma camera. In this study, we're going to measure each gamma camera's sensitivity and study about reasonable correction factors of whole body bone scan to follow up patient's condition using different gamma cameras. Materials and Methods: We used the $^{99m}Tc$ flood phantom, it recommend by IAEA recommendation based on general counts rate of a whole body scan and measured counts rates by the use of various gamma cameras - PRECEDENCE, BRIGHTVIEW, ECAM, ECAM signature, ECAM plus, IFINIA - in Asan medical center nuclear medicine department. For measuring sensitivity, all gamma camera equipped LEHR collimator (Low Energy High Resolution multi parallel Collimator) and the $^{99m}Tc$ gamma spectrum was adjusted around 15% window level, the photo peak was set to 140-kev and acquirded for 60 sec and 120 sec in all gamma cameras. In order to verify whether can apply calculated correction factors to whole body bone scan or not, we actually conducted the whole body bone scan to 27 patients and we compared it analyzed that results. Results: After experimenting using $^{99m}Tc$ flood phantom, sensitivity of ECAM plus was highest and other sensitivity order of all gamma camera is ECAM signature, SYMBIA T2, ECAM, BRIGHTVIEW, IFINIA, PRECEDENCE. And yield sensitivity correction factor show each gamma camera's relative sensitivity ratio by yielded based on ECAM's sensitivity. (ECAM plus 1.07, ECAM signature 1.05, SYMBIA T2 1.03, ECAM 1.00, BRIGHTVIEW 0.90, INFINIA 0.83, PRECEDENCE 0.72) When analyzing the correction factor yielded by $^{99m}Tc$ experiment and another correction factor yielded by whole body bone scan, it shows statistically insignificant value (p<0.05) in whole body bone scan diagnosis. Conclusion: In diagnosing the bone metastasis of patients undergoing cancer, whole body bone scan has been conducted as follow up tests due to its good points (high sensitivity, non invasive, easily conducted). But as a follow up study, it's hard to perform whole body bone scan continuously using same gamma camera. If we use same gamma camera to patients, we have to consider effectiveness of equipment's change by time elapsed. So we expect that applying sensitivity correction factor to patients who tested whole body bone scan regularly will add consistence in diagnosis of patients.

  • The measured radioactivity of gamma-emitting radionuclides in each radioactive waste drum using the non-destructive waste assay method is underestimated than real radioactivity in radioactive waste drum because the gamma-rays are attenuated within the medium. Therefore, the measured radioactivity should be corrected for the attenuation of gamma-rays. For the correction of the attenuation of gamma-rays, the attenuation correction method should be applied differently by considering the distribution and density of medium in radioactive wastes drum generated from nuclear power plants. In this study, the model drums were fabricated for simulating five types of radioactive waste drums generated from nuclear power plant and the optimum methods of the attenuation correction were experimentally determined to analyze the activity of radionuclides in the waste drum accurately using the segmented gamma scanning system. With the determination of the attenuation correction methods from the experimental results the transmission method and the average density method for the miscellaneous waste drum, the transmission method and the differential peak absorption method for the shielded miscellaneous waste drum were used to measure the density of medium in waste drums. Also, the average density method and the differential peak absorption method for the spent resin drum, the paraffin solidified drum, and the spent filter drum were used.
