A new method is proposed for the design of the dichroic mirrors in 3-LCD projection systems for color separation/composition. Rather than simply basing the color performance criterion on luminance or chromatic saturation only, the optimum design parameters can be found by maximizing the perceived color gamut in a 3-D uniform color space. In this method, the half-power wavelengths were optimized by maximizing the volume of the reproducible color gamut in a CIELUV uniform color space for 2 typical viewing conditions, with proper colorimetric analysis of color reproduction in 3-LCD projection systems.

This paper proposes a color sample selection method that produces a uniform distribution in the display gamut plus a color reproduction method for using a uniform color sample In contrast to the conventional method, the proposed uniform color samples are selected m CIELAB, a device-independent color space, instead of RGB (red, green, and yellow) or CMY (cyan, magenta, and yellow) space, device-dependent color spaces To evaluate the performance of the proposed color samples, they were applied to color space conversion using both a regression model and neural network As a result, in the case of a color sample of the same size, the color space conversion method using the proposed samples showed a lower color difference for color conversions using either neural or regression.

대부분의 공간색인 방법들은 공간객체의 분포가 균일하지 않다는 가정 하에 만들어졌다. 이 가정은 실제의 응용분야에 일반적으로 적용된다. 반면에 균등한 공간객체의 분포를 위하여 만들어진 공간색인 방법들도 몇가지 있다. 예를 들어, 고정 격자 방식의 공간색인 방법은 균등한 공간객체에 대한 색인 방법으로 매우 좋은 성능을 보이며, 색인과정이 매우 단순하다는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 비균일적인 공간객체의 분포를 균일분포로 변화한 다음 고정 격자 방식의 공간색인을 적용하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법에 따르면, 공간효율성이 매우 증가하고, 빈 공간이 줄어들어 드는 등 공간색인의 성능이 다른 색인방법에 비하여 매우 증가하며, 색인과정이 단순하여 지는 장점을 가지고 있다.

GPS및 PDA의 발달로 인해서 위치 기반 서비스(LBS), 차량항법장치(CNS), 지리정보시스템(GIS)등 공간 데이터를 다루는 응용프로그램들이 급속하게 보급되었다. 이러한 응용프로그램은 높이 균등 색인 기법을 사용하여 원하는 데이터에 대한 색인을 제공하였다. 그러나 모든 공간 객체는 서로 상이한 접근 빈도를 가지고 있음에도 불구하고 기존의 공간색인 기법은 접근 빈도를 고려하지 못하는 단점을 가지고 있었다. 또한 기존의 빈도수만을 고려한 공간 객체의 색인 방법은 접근 빈도에 따른 편향성(skewed)은 제공하지만 공간 객체에 대한 지역성을 반영하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 밀집되어 있는 공간 객체의 접근 빈도를 반영해서 편향된 색인 트리를 생성하는 기법을 제안한다. 이형 클러스터링으로 분포되어 있는 전체 영역에 대해서 Zahn의 클러스터링 알고리즘을 변형시켜서 다단계 세부영역을 구분한다. 이렇게 구간된 세부영역에 대해서 거리적 인접성과 접근 빈도수의 합을 이용해서 색인 트리를 생성한다. 다단계로 구성된 전체영역에 대해서 하향식 방식으로 편향된 색인 트리를 생성함으로써, 접근 빈도가 높은 공간 객체에 대해서 빠른 탐색이 가능하게 한다.

A new method is proposed for the design of the dichroic mirrors in 3-LCD projection systems for color separation/composition. Rather than simply basing the color performance cirterion on luminance or chromatic saturation only, the optimum design parameters can be found by maximizing the volume of the perceived color gamut in RLAB color space and related color appearance model and used the linearly approximated spectrum of dichroic mirrors for simplicity and vector space description. By this method, we found optimal half-power wavelengths in dichroic mirrors which maximized our performance criterion.

Gamut mapping is a technique that acts on cross-media color reproduction to transform a color between devices for the purpose of enhancing the appearance or preserving the appearance of an image. Gamut mapping essentially produces color conversion error which depends on the gamut mapping method, source and destination devices, and sample points for gamut modeling. For color space conversion between monitor colors and printer colors, empirical representation using sample measurements is currently widely utilized. Color samples are uniformly selected in the device space such as CMY or RGB, represented as color patches, and then measured. However, in the case of printer, these color samples are not evenly distributed inside the printer gamut and the color conversion error is increased. Accordingly, this paper introduces a equally distributed color sampling method in CIELAB space, a device- independent color space, to reduce color conversion error, and the performance is analyzed via color space conversion experiments using three-dimensional interpolation.

Traditional works on indexing have been suggested for low dimensional data under dynamic environments. But recent database applications require efficient processing of huge sire of high dimensional data under static environments. Thus many indexing strategies suggested especially in partitioning ones do not adapt to these new environments. In our study, we point out these facts and propose a new partitioning strategy, which complies with new applications' requirements and is derived from analysis. As a preliminary step to propose our method, we apply a packing technique on the one hand and exploit observations on the Minkowski-sum cost model on the other, under uniform data distribution. Observations predict that unbalanced partitioning strategy may be more query-efficient than balanced partitioning strategy for high dimensional data. Thus we propose our method, called CSP (Cyclic Spliced Partitioning method). Analysis on this method explicitly suggests metrics on how to partition high dimensional data. By the cost model, simulations, and experiments, we show excellent performance of our method over balanced strategy. By experimental studies on other indices and packing methods, we also show the superiority of our method.

This paper describes color clustering method based on color difference in the uniform Munsell color space obtained from hue, saturation, and value. The proposed method operates in the uniform HSV color space which is approximated using ${L^*}{a^*}{b^*}$ coordinate system based on the RGB inputs. A clustering and color difference evaluation are proposed by thresholding NBS unit which is likely to Balinkin color difference equation. Region segmentation and isolation process are carried out ISO DATA algorithm which is a self iterative clustering technique. Through the clustering of 2 input images according to the threshold value, satisfactory results are obtained. So, in conclusion, it is possible to extract result of better region segmentation using human color perception of the objects.

This paper proposes a gamut mapping algorithm based on color space division for cross media color reproduction. As each color device has a limited range of producible colors, reproduced colors on a destination device are different from those of the original device. In order to reduce the color difference, the proposed method divides the whole gamut into parabolic shapes based on intersecting lightness by the just noticeable difference (JND) and the original device gamut boundary. Dividing the gamut with parabolic shapes and piecewise mapping of each region not only considers gamut characteristics but also provides for mapping uniformity. Also the lightness variations are more sensitive to the human visual system and by using lightness JND it can restrict lightness mapping variations that are unperceivable to enhance lightness contrast and chrominance. As a result, the proposed algorithm is able to reproduce high quality images using low-cost color devices.
