Automatic detection of vehicles in front is an integral component of many advanced driver-assistance system, such as collision mitigation, automatic cruise control, and automatic head-lamp dimming. Regardless day and night, tail-lights play an important role in vehicle detecting and status recognizing of driving in front. However, some drivers do not know the status of the tail-lights of vehicles. Thus, it is required for drivers to inform status of tail-lights automatically. In this paper, a recognition method of status of tail-lights based on video processing and recognition technology is proposed. Background estimation, optical flow and Euclidean distance is used to detect vehicles entering tollgate. Then saliency map is used to detect tail-lights and recognize their status in the Lab color coordinates. As results of experiments of using tollgate videos, it is shown that the proposed method can be used to inform status of tail-lights.

In this paper, we proposed a face detection algorithm and a hardware implementation method for ROI(Region Of Interest) of AF(Auto Focusing). We used face features in skin regions of YCbCr color space for face detection. The face features are the number of skin pixels in face regions, edge pixels in eye regions, and shadow pixels in lip regions. The each feature was statistically selected by 2,000 sample pictures of face. The proposed algorithm detects two faces that are closer center of the image for considering the effectiveness of hardware resource. The detected faces are displayed by rectangle for ROI of AF, and the rectangles are represented by positions in the image about starting point and ending point of the rectangles. The proposed face detection method was verified by using FPGA boards and mobile phone camera sensor.

Novel non-conjugated blue light-emitting copolymers containing perylene and triazine moieties as light emitting and electron transporting units, respectively in the polymer side chain were synthesized. The resulting copolymers were soluble in most organic solvents such as chlorobenzene, THF, chloroform and benzene. The single-layered electroluminescence (EL) device consisting of indium tin oxide (ITO) /copolymer/aluminium (Al) exhibited a maximum external quantum efficiency ($0.003\%$) and a good carrier balance when the triazine content was $30\%$. In particular, the device emitted blue light (479 nm) corresponding to the emission of perylene moiety. The drive voltage was observed at 5 V and the CIE coordinate was x=0.16, y=0.17.

The applicability of the white LED from the blue LED of the coating film as a binder for surface and curved coatings were confirmed. The particle size of YAG is D₅₀: 9~10 ㎛, and the crystal structure is garnet (Y₃Al₅O₁₂), cubic. The coating film had no cracks, at the same time, the silica sol was uniformly coated with YAG phosphor, and the YAG content and thickness in the coating film showed a tendency to increase up to 40 ㎛ in proportion to the increase in the amount added. Furthermore, as the YAG content increased, the PL emission intensity increased and the color coordinate shift toward the end of the chromatic locus curve was confirmed.

The change of the photoluminescence properties of La2O3-CaF2-Al2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramics doped with rare earth material, that is used as laser and optical sensors, was analyzed according to heat treatment temperature. The heat treatment conditions for fabricating glass-ceramics were obtained through non-isothermal thermal analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis was performed to determine the degree of crystal growth and kinds of crystal phases generated according to the heat treatment temperature. Using Scherrer's equation, it was predicted that crystals with a size of 25~40 nm would be generated inside the glass-ceramics. Photoluminescence (PL) analysis showed that the specimens heat-treated at 660℃ to 670℃ for 1 hour had the highest PL intensity. Also, from the CIE color coordinate analysis, all glass-ceramics specimens emitted red-orange light regardless of the heat treatment condition.

Air hockey robots are machine vision systems that allow users to play hockey balls through the camera. The position detection of the hockey ball is realized by using the color information of the ball using OpenCV library. It senses the position of the hockey ball, predicts its trajectory, and sends the result to the ARM Cortex-M board. The ARM Cortex-M board controls a 2- Axis Cartesian Coordinate Robot to run an air hockey game. Depending on the strategy of the air hockey robot, it can operate in defensive, offensive, defensive and offensive mode. In this paper, we describe a vision system development and trajectory prediction system and propose a new method to control a biaxial orthogonal robot in an air hockey game.

This paper proposes an optimized hardware implementation method for existing CIE1931 color gamut control algorithm. Among the post-processing methods of dehazing algorithms, existing algorithm with relatively low computations have the disadvantage of consuming many hardware resources by calculating large bits using Split multiplier in the computation process. The proposed algorithm achieves computational reduction and hardware miniaturization by reducing the predefined two matrix multiplication operations of the existing algorithm to one. And by optimizing the Split multiplier computation, it is implemented more efficient hardware to mount. The hardware was designed in the Verilog HDL language, and the results of logical synthesis using the Xilinx Vivado program were compared to verify real-time processing performance in 4K environments. Furthermore, this paper verifies the performance of the proposed hardware with mounting results on two FPGAs.

The new green $Al_3GdB_4O_{12}:Tb^{3+} and red Al_3GdB_4O_{12}:Eu_{3+}$ phosphors were synthesized and then characterized their optical properties for PDP application. And also the photoluminescence properties of these phosphors were compared with the commercial green $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+} and (Y,Gd)BO_3: Eu^{3+}$ red PDP phosphors. The phosphors were synthesized by solid state reaction at 115$0^{\circ}C$ for 4hr. It was found that the emitting brightness of $Al_3GdB_4O_{12}:Tb^{3+}$(15mol%) green phosphor under 147nm excitation was higher than that of commercial $Zn_2SiO_4: Mn^{2+}$ green PDP phosphor. However, the color coordinate of this new green phosphor was inferior to the commercial one. On the other hand, the emitting intensity of $Al_3GdB_4O_{12}:Eu^{3+}$(15mol%) red phosphor was smaller than the $commercial(Y,Gd)BO_3: Eu^{3+}$ red one, but the CIE coordinate was slightly improved. The excitation spectrum showed that $Al_3GdB_4O_{12}$ phosphors had a strong excitation band at $\lambda=160nm$ associated with the host absorption. And the photoluminance excitation (PLE) intensity in VUV range for $Al_3GdB_4O_{12}:Tb^{3+}$ green phosphor was higher than that of $Zn_2SiO_4: Mn^{2+}$, but the PLE intensity of $Al_3GdB_4O_{12}:Eu^{3+}$ red phosphor was smaller than $(Y,Gd)BO_3: Eu^{3+}$.

Purpose: HCD ion plating apparatus by hollow cathod discharge method was fabricated and TiN films were deposited on stainless steel by this apparatus with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow and the fine color changes of TiN films were analyzed. Methods: The spectroradiometer and spectrophotometer were used to observe optically the fine color changes of TiN thin films, and XPS was used to analyze the compositions of TiN thin films with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow. Results: The color coordinate of TiN thin film with $N_2$ 120 sccm gas flow showed (0.382, 0.372) which had the mixed colors of gold and silver, and the color coordinate changed to the increasing value of (x,y) with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow which indicated the deep gold color. It was found that the slopes of the reflectances at 550nm were increased with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow. And from the Ti scans using XPS, it was found that the peak heights of 455 eV derived from TiN composition were increased with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow, while the peak heights of 459 eV from $TiO_2$ composition were decreased. Conclusions: The results obtained above were that the color of TiN film with 120 sccm $N_2$ gas flow had been observed from the mixed color of silver and gold due to TiC, $N_2$, TiN on the surface and TiN, $N_2$ inside film, and the color of TiN films changed a deep gold color with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow due to increasing TiN composition.

We have synthesized a Eu$^{2＋}$-activated Sr$_3$MgSi$_2$ $O_{8}$ blue phosphor and investigated an attempt to develop blue LEDs by combining it with a InGaN blue LED chip (Len=405 nm). The InGaN-based Sr$_3$MgSi$_2$ $O_{8}$：Eu LED Lamp shows two bands at 405 nm and 460 nm. The 405 nm emission band is due to a radiative recombination from a InGaN active layer. This 405 nm emission was used as an optical transition of the Sr$_3$MgSi$_2$ $O_{8}$：Eu phosphor. The 460 m emission band is ascribed to a radiative recombination of Eu$^{2＋}$ impurity ions in the Sr$_3$MgSi$_2$ $O_{8}$ host matrix. As a consequence of a preparation of W blue LED Lamp using the Sr$_3$MgSi$_2$ $O_{8}$：Eu blue phosphor, the highest luminescence efficiency was obtained at the ration of epoxy/blue phosphor(1/0,202). At this time, the CIE chromaticity was x=0.1417 and y=0.0683.
