In this paper, an illuminant estimation algorithm of a chromatic digital images proposed. The proposed illumination estimation method has two phases. First, the surface spectral reflectances are recovered. In this case, the surface spectral reflectances recovered are limited to the maximum highlight region (MHR) which is the most achromatic and highly bright region of an image after applying intermediate color constancy process using a modified gray world algorithm. Next, the surface reflectances of the maximum highlight region are estimated using the principal component analysis method along with a set of given Munsell samples. Second, the spectral distribution of reflected lights of MHR is selected from the spectral database. That is a color difference is compared between the reflected lights of the MHR and the spectral database that is the set of reflected lights built by the given Munsell samples and a set of illuminants. Then the closest colors from the spectral database are selected. Finally, the illuminant of an image can be calculated dividing the average spectral distributions of reflected lights of MHR by the average surface reflectances of the MHR. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, experiments with artificial and real captured color-biased scenes were performed and numerical comparison examined. The proposed method was effective in estimating the spectral of the given illuminant sunder various illuminants.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm both geometric correction using a grid point image and radiometric adaptive projection that dependent upon the luminance of the input image and that of the background. This method projects and captures the grid point image then calculates the geometrically corrected position by difference between the two images. Next, to compensate color, a corrected image is calculated by the ratio divided luminance of an input image by luminance of arbitrary surface. In addition, we found the scaling factor which controls the contrast to avoid clipping error. At this time, the scaling factor is dependent on mean image lightness when background is determined. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves good performance and is able to reduce the perceived color clipping and artifacts, better approximating the projection on a white screen.

Yukwa was prepared with the glutinous rice by the addition of different ratio of pigmented rice (0, 3, 5, 7, 10%) and were steeped for 7 days at 20$^{\circ}C$. No significant differences were found among the samples when the textural properties of Yukwa dough and base were measured using a texture analyzer. But the crispness was decreased with tile increase of the addition level of pigmented rice. The redness (a value) and yellowness (b value) of the dough and Yukwa base were increased and the lightness (L value) was decreased as the addition levels increased. The expansion rate of Yukwa was decreased with the increase of addition levels. The overall acceptability of Yukwa prepared with the addition of 7% pigmented rice was the best in the sensory evaluation.

Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) plays a dominant role in absorbing UV-VIS light and is also important in the biogeochemical carbon cycle due to the production of carbon dioxide from photo-oxidation at the sea surface in marine environments. Since absorption by CDOM was recently found to be responsible for increasing the energy absorbed in the mixed layer by 40 % over pure seawater, the importance of CDOM absorption in seawater for increasing sea surface temperature has come to be well recognized. We measured aCDOM and the absorption characteristics of CDOM during spring 2012 and 2014 in the southwestern East Sea. Distribution of CDOM in spring 2012 and 2014 was compared and S value was used to find the source of CDOM in the study area. As a result, the average $a_{CDOM}$ was $0.237m^{-1}$ ($0.009{\sim}0.988m^{-1}$) and the average S value was $16{\mu}m^{-1}$,which shows coastal properties. Also a positive correlation between Chl a and CDOM was observed ($r^2=0.34$), with an especially strong correlation near coastal stations. aCDOM in 2014 was about 40 % higher than aCDOM in 2012 during spring in the study area. This difference in aCDOM concentration resulted not only from annual variation but also from stratification and photobleaching in late spring 2012. This observation implies the possibility of flux of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as a result of photo-oxidation in the East Sea.

Due to recent development of high temperature high pressure(HTHP) diamond synthetic and treatment technology, we need to identify the natural diamonds fast, reliable, and economically. We proposed using new method of UV fluorescence and X-ray Lang topography imaging for distinguishing one synthetic diamond from four natural colored diamonds. We observe unique local stress field uneven image in synthetic diamond using UV fluorescence and Lang topography characterization, while uniform images in natural diamonds. Especially, X-ray Lang method offered the better identification power with better high resolution on stress field images.

암석이 화학적으로 매우 불균일하기 때문에 암석에 있어서 자연적인 풍화와 인위적인 오염에서 기인한 손상을 구별짓는다는 것은 간단하지 않다. 석재의 화학적인 풍화는 스며든 빗물이나 오염먼지 등에 의해 생성된 물질의 농도변화로 표현되어 진다. 특히 벽면 표면의 두터운 검은 외각과 얇은 검은 막은 미관상으로 뿐만 아니라 암석 자체에도 큰 손상을 끼친다. 일반적으로 이런 검은 물질들은 비 등의 수분과 직접적인 접촉이 없고, 농축된 오염물질들이 쉽게 쌓일 수 있는 곳에서 찾아볼 수 있다. 천연 암석과 마찬가지로 검게 손상된 층 또한 화학적으로 매우 복잡한 체계를 갖고 있어 그 생성 원인과 메커니즘을 규명하는 것이 어려운 일이다. 이 흑색 층은 일반적으로 공기오염물질, 유기물, 철과 망간등의 유색광물의 이동과 침착의 현상에서 생성될 수 있다. 건물들의 외벽에 사용된 여러 종류의 사암과 석회암, 인조석의 표면에는 여러 풍화 손상 형태가 나타나고 있다. 특히 표면에 있는 검은 막의 성질을 알아보기 위해 화학성분을 주성분과 미량성분으로 나누어 측정하였고, 화학적인 특징을 예측하기 위해서 분석자료를 여러 통계적인 방법으로 처리하였다.

Antioxidative and antimicrobial activities of ethanol extracts from 2 colored sweet potatoes such as purple and yellow, 5 pale yellow sweet potatoes, and 8 general cultivars of sweet potato were investigated. Colored sweet potatoes showed the highest antioxidative activity, followed by Saengmi and Yeonmi, which were pale yellow sweet potato cultivars, and Hwangmi, which was a general cultivar of sweet potato. Colored sweet potatoes also showed distinctively lower mold and surface microbial number (cfu) than the pale yellow sweet potatoes and the general cultivars of sweet potato. Although all sweet potatoes tested did not represent any antimicrobial activity against yeast and mold, they exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus faecalis. Especially, purple and yellow sweet potatoes showed antimicrobial activity against wide range of bacteria.

In this study, we have prepared plastic lenses with both photochromic and hard properties by hard coating, and evaluated their optical properties and surface characteristics. Photochromic effects could be observed on the UV spectra of the closed forms and the visible spectra of the open forms. Visible light transmittance of photochromic lenses was from 83.44% for graphite(GP) to 85.15% for blue(BL) in colourless state and from 71.10% for red(RE) to 79.98% for yellow(YE) in colour state. Red photochromic lens was higher in optical density(${\Delta}$OD) and color difference(${\Delta}$$E^{\ast}_\;{ab}$) than the others. Photochromic lenses applied by hard coating showed good adhesion, hot water resistance, chemical resistance and surface appearance. Also, compared to the uncoated lens, hardness and abrasion resistance were increased. Consequently, this coating system could impart functional properties such as photochromic and hard coating property onto ophthalmic lenses.

석조문화재 표면에는 다양한 형태의 흑색오염물질이 형성되어 있다. 흑화 현상은 일반적으로 수많은 공기오염물질과 유기물 그리고 유색광물들의 쌓임과 이동에 의해 생성될 수 있다. 흑화현상을 크게 대기오염이 심한 도시에서 나타나는 도시형과 대기오염이 적은 곳에서 발생하는 농촌형으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 흑색의 원인물질의 하나로 거론되고 있는 탄소물질을 열분해탄소분석기를 이용하여 분석하였다. 탄소는 유기탄소와 원소탄소로 나누어 측정되었으며, 흑색을 띄게 하는 원소탄소의 량이 도심의 흑색부위와 농촌의 흑색부위에서 차이를 보이며 검출되었다. 그러나 측정된 탄소량은 탄소 한 요소만으로 암석 표면의 흑화 현상을 설명하기에는 불충분하다. 소량이 검출되기는 했지만 두 시료에서 보여주는 탄소량의 차이는 의미가 있다. 농촌형 흑색시료에서는 도심형 시료에서 보다 유기탄소가 원소탄소보다 약간 더 검출되었다.

본 논문에서는 단일 영상에 포함된 광원의 분광분포를 추정하는 광원추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 광원 추정 방법은 두 단계로 이루어져 있다. 첫째, 변형된 회색계 가정(modified gray world assumption)을 이용하여 부분적으로 광원의 영향을 배제한 후 밝으면서도 무채색에 가까운 최대 무채색 영역을 찾아 그 영역의 표면 분광 반사율을 구한다. 이때 최대 무채색 영역의 표면 분광 반사율은 1269개의 Munsell 색 표본에 대하여 주성분 분석 방법을 이용하여 추정하였다. 둘째, 주어진 Munsell 색 표본과 대표 광원의 조합으로 반사광의 모집단을 만들었다. 다음 최대 무채색 영역의 각 화소와 반사광 모집단과의 색차를 비교하여 최대 무채색 영역과 색차가 가장 적은 반사광 표본을 선택하고 이를 최대 무채색 영역에 대한 반사광의 분광분포로 정의한다. 최종적으로 최저 무채색 영역의 반사광 분광분포를 해당하는 표면 분광반사율로 나누어줌으로써 영상에 포함된 광원의 분광분포를 추정한다. 제안한 알고리듬의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 유색 광원에 조명된 영상에 대한 광원 추정 실험을 하였으며 기존의 방법과 추정된 광원의 분광 분포 비교 및 색차 비교를 통해 그 타당성을 검증하였다.
