Color is a sense signal for human to perceive being through light, and the color is divided into chromatic color and achromatic color. Chromatic color has hue, intensity, and saturation, but achromatic color has only intensity among the properties of chromatic color and doesn't have hue and saturation. Therefore it is important to split colors of image into area for human to perceive colors and not to perceive ones based on vision of human being. In this paper, we find a function to split colors of image into chromatic region of chromatic color region and achromatic region of achromatic color region. First, the input image of RGB color space is converted into the image of HSI color space in consideration of human vision and get a binary image from the converted image. After then, a function to split colors into ROC(ROC: Region of chromatic.) and ROA(ROA:Region of achromatic) is yield. It is difficult to split color of a general image into ROC and ROA. Therefore, to get the chromatic area and achromatic area, we make gradient images to have all range of intensity and range of saturation and to have a little range of hue and yield the function. The evaluation is tested using subjective-quality by 50 non-experts for result images of test images and general images. The results of the proposed method get better 27.5~32.96% than these of the conventional method

The effects of ${\alpha}-rice$ flour on the physicochemical properties of Korean rice cake were investigated. Before cooking, the degree of gelatinization of rice cake without ${\alpha}-rice$ flour was 5.75%, but 16% for adding ${\alpha}-rice$ flour. After cooking, the degree of gelatinization of rice cake were increased from 52% to 85% by adding ${\alpha}-rice$ flour. The L value of rice cake with ${\alpha}-rice$ flour increased, but there was no significant difference in L value between samples. The hardness of rice cake before and after cooking were increased by adding ${\alpha}-rice$ flour whereas after frozen stoarge there was no apparent effect on the color values of rice cake. The water absorption ratio of rice cakes during cooking were increased by addition of ${\alpha}-rice$ flour. Scanning electron photomicrographs revealed that the rice cake with ${\alpha}-rice$ flour has more porous structure with rapid rehydration.

Among the digital halftoning, the error diffusion halftoning gives better subjective quality than other halftoning techniques. But it also makes edges of objects blurred. To overcome the defect, this paper proposes the modified error diffusion halftoning algorithm to enhance the edges using the spatial perceptual properties of the human visual system. Using the properties that the human eyes perceive not the pixel's luminance itself but the local average luminance and the information that human eyes perceive spatial variation, the proposed method computes information of edge enhancement(IEE). The IEE is added to the quantizer's input pixel and feeds into the halftoning quantizer. The quantizer produces the halftone image having the enhanced edge. Also this paper proposes the technique that the coefficients of the error diffusion filter are adapted according to the correlation among color components. The computer simulation results show that the proposed method produces finer halftoning images than conventional methods due to the enhanced edges. And the proposed method also preserves similar in edges to original image and reduces some defects such as color impulse and false contours.

Multi-channel images of 11-MUA(11-Mercaptoundecanoic acid) and 11-MUOH(11-Mercaptoundecanol) self-assembled monolayers were obtained by using two-dimensional surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption. The patterning process was simplified by exploiting direct photo-oxidation of thiol bonding (photolysis) instead of conventional photolithography. Sharper images were resolved by using a white light source in combination with a narrow bandpass filter in the visible region, minimizing the diffraction patterns on the images. The line profile calibration of the image contrast caused by different resonance conditions at each point on the sensor surface (at a fixed incident angle) enables us to discriminate the monolayer thickness in nanometer scale. Furthermore, there is no signal degradation such as photo bleaching or quenching, which are common in the detection methods based on fluorescence.

백색유기발광소자는 저전력, 높은 명암비 및 빠른 응답속도와 넓은 시야각 등의 장점을 가지고 있어 대형 디스플레이, 모바일 디스플레이, 백색 광원 등에 사용되는 차세대 광원으로써 각광 받고 있고 이를 상용화하기 위해 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 다층 발광층을 가지는 백색유기발광소자는 발광층에 지역이 인가된 전압에 의해 바뀌어 색안정성이 떨어진다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 백색유기발광소자의 발광 메커니즘 규명하고 색안정성을 고찰하였다. 이 백색유기발광 소자는 indium-tin-oxide (ITO) 양극전극에 진공 증착 방법을 통해 전하생성층으로 tungsten oxide(WO3)층과 5,6,11,12-tetraphenyltetracene(rubrene)가 도핑된 N,N',-bis-(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl1-1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine(NPB)층을 사용하여 제작되었다. ITO를 양극으로, NPB를 정공수송층으로, DPVBi를 발광층으로, 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline(BPhen)을 전자수송층으로, WO3와 0, 1, 2, 또는 3 wt% rubrene 도핑된 NPB를 전하생성층으로, Liq를 전자주입지연층으로, Al을 음극 전극으로 각각 사용하였다. 전하생성층으로 사용한 NPB층의 rubrene 도핑농도가 변화하여 백색유기발광소자의 발광 메커니즘을 규명하였다. rubrene 도핑된 NPB층에서 발광하는 노란빛과 발광층에서 발생하는 파란빛에 의해 백색광을 방출, NPB층에 도핑된 rubrene 도핑 농도가 증가할수록 소자의 전류밀도와 밝기가 증가했다.

Edge representing the boundary between two regions with the large brightness difference in image includes diverse information about object. Therefore, this information has been utilized in fields such as image segmentation and object recognition. There are many kinds of edge in according to duration time and the amplitude of brightness variation, and edge is generally detected through the differential. Recently, in fields of image processing and computer vision, edge detection methods have been proposed to use in specific applications. Hence, in this paper the wavelet function for improved edge detection properties was proposed and detected line-edge components of images and its performance was proven through simulations.

We proposed an algorithm which detects scene changes in video with speediness and accuracy. It is a two-step approach. In the first step, we decide potential scene change segments using the compressed domain data extracted by temporal sampling of MPEG compressed video. In the second step, we determine the exact scene change positions using the pixel values of each frame in those segments by means of combining the intensity and edge changes. In addition we discuss the method to remove false detection generated from camera flash. Integrating the above methods, we introduce a structure that can detect scene changes speedily and accurately.

Driving Waveform of AC PDP in reset periode is increased and decreased with constant slope to improve dark room contrast ratio and image quality. But the slope and magnitude of ramp waveform are related to strong and weak discharge with temperature change in AC PDP. So this paper proposes a methods of changing the slope and magnitude of ramp waveform during reset periode according to temperature change in AC PDP. Experimental variable factors ire chosen to setup slope, setdown slope, and -Vy voltage magnitude in Y sustain electrode. The proposed methods are expected to compensate for effect of the temperature change, causing misfiring in high and low temprature, with varing the slope and magnitude of ramp voltage during reset period and improve image quality.

인간의 안구는 색과 모양을 식별하는 데에 관여하는 원추 세포와 물체의 명암을 구분하는 간상 세포로 구성되어지는 시세포를 가진다. 망막 위에 분포되어 있는 시세포들은 시축을 중심으로 각기 다른 밀도로 분포 되어 있다. 특히 광축과 만나는 중심 지역은 Fovea라고 하는 직경 1mm 정도의 작은 우물을 이루고 있는데 원추 세포들이 고해상도로 분포되어 있고 시신경과 일대일로 연결되어 있어 시각 처리의 중심이 된다. 특히, 글자나 물체를 인식하기 위해 인간은 대상물을 응시하여 대상물의 영상이 Fovca영역에 맺히도록 추적 운동을 계속한다. 본 논문에서는 인간의 눈과 유사한 망막 모델의 하나인 Log-polar Image를 이용한 물체 인식을 위해 물체를 Log-polar Image Plane의 중심에 위치시키기 위한 모멘텀(Momentum)기반 정합 알고리즘(Alignment Algorithm)을 제시한다. 이는 눈동자 운동이 가능한 능동형 시각 장치의 Tracking 및 Pursuit 동작 중에 밭생하는 추적 오차를 보상함으로써 운동 중에도 효과적인 물체 인식이 가능하게 한다. 또한, 물체를 Log-polar Image Plane의 중심에 위치시킴으로써 물체의 위치 이동, 회전이동 그리고 크기 변화에 무관하게 물체를 인식한 수 있음을 제시한다.
