본 논문에서는 문서 영상 처리의 중요한 전처리 과정인 텍스트 라인 추출을 위하여 가우시안 필터링 및 피크 검출을 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 이는 문서 영상 내의 글자 영역의 픽셀 강도와 텍스트 라인 사이의 간격에 해당하는 강도의 차이로 인해 문서 영상의 각 열마다 높은 피크와 낮은 피크가 번갈아 가며 나타나는 것에 기반으로, 제안하는 알고리즘은 필터 스케일 추정, 필터량 및 피크 검출, 라인 성분 그룹화의 세 단계로 구성된다. 필터 스케일 추정 단계에서는 여러 초기 값으로 필터링하여 피크 차이 간의 히스토그램을 만듦으로써 글자 크기를 대략적으로 예축하며, 필터링 및 피크 검출 단계에서 앞서 예측된 스케일의 가우시안 필터를 이용하여 필터링 한 후, 각각의 열마다 피크를 검출한다. 마지막으로 라인 성분 그룹화를 통하여 검출된 피크를 서로 연결하여 하나의 텍스트 라인을 구성하는 성분들로 그룹화시켜 텍스트 라인을 추출한다. 실험 결과를 통하여, 제안하는 알고리즘은 이진화 과정을 거치지 않음으로써 균일하지 못한 조명환경 등으로 이진화 성능이 좋지 못할 경우에도 텍스트 라인을 추출할 수 있으며, 텍스트 라인 간격이 인정하지 않고 휘어진 라인을 포함하는 경우에도 적용할 수 있음을 확인 할 수 있다.

최근 InGaN 양자우물구조에 기초한 청색, 녹색 반도체 발광다이오드 (LED)는 장수명, 고효율, 친환경이라는 장점 때문에 다양한 응용에 사용되기 시작하고 있다. 이러한 가시광 LED들이 고휘도 조명용 광원으로 사용되기 위하여서는 많은 효율향상이 이루어 져야 한다. 이를 위하여서는 LED의 성능을 나타내는 각종 효율들을 상호 분리하여 측정할 수 있어야 한다. 그러나, 아직 이러한 LED 효율을 상호 분리하여 측정할 수 있는 기술들이 아직 정립되어 있지 않은 관계로, 대부분은 실험적으로 찾아 가는 경험론걱인 방법에 의존하고 있다. 한양대학교에서는 LED의 각종 효율들을 상온에서 상호 분리 측정할 수 있는 기술을 세계에서 처음으로 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 효율분리 측정 기술을 소개하고, 이를 토대로 가시광 LED의 각종 효율들을 증대 시킬 수 있는 방안에 대하여 소개한다. LED의 효율은 주입된 전자 가운데 몇%가 광자로 변환되는가를 나타내는 내부양자효율(IQE)과 활성층에서 생성된 광자 가운데 몇 %가 LED chip 외부로 나오는 가를 나타내는 광추출효율(LEE)에 의하여 정하여 진다. IQE는 주로 결정성장상태에 의하여, LEE는 주로 소자구조에 의하여 정하여 진다. 한편 LED의 광출력 및 신뢰성 향상을 위하여서는 LED 췹내에서의 전류 분포 및 전계분포를 매우 균일 하게 유지하는 것이 중요하다. 그러나, 실제 제작된 LED에서는 공간적인 비대칭으로 인하여 전류가 국부적으로 집중되어 흐르는 현상, 즉 전류집중현상이 발생하게 된다. 본 발표에서는 IQE와 LEE를 순수 실험적으로 분리 측정할 수 있는 방법, 전류집중현상을 측정하고 제어 할 수 있는 방법등을 소개한다.

The Integrated Ballistics Identification Systems (IBIS) is widely used for bullet and casing signature identification. The IBIS obtains a pair of ballistic signatures from two bullets (or casings) using optical microscopy, and estimates a correlation score which can represent the degree of signature match. However, this method largely depends on lighting and surface conditions because optical image contrast is primarily a function of test surface's slope, shadowing, multiple reflections, optical properties, and illumination direction. Moreover, it can be affected with surface height variation. To overcome these problems and improve the identification system, we used well known surface topographic techniques, such as confocal microscopy and white-light scanning interferometry. The measuring instruments were calibrated by a NIST step height standard and verified by a NIST sinusoidal profile roughness standard and a commercial roughness standard. We also suggest a new analysis method for the ballistic identification. In this method, the maximum cross-correlation function CCFmax is used to quantify the degree of signature match. If the compared signatures were exactly the same, CCFmax would be $100\%$.

To resolve the problem of the temperature rise in LED or OLED lighting, until now a thick metal film has been used as a heat-sink. Conventionally, this thick metal film is made by the electroplating method and used as the heat-dissipating plate of the electronic devices. However, nowadays there is increasing need for a Cu metal film with a thickness of several hundred micrometers that can be formed by the dry deposition method. In this work, we designed and fabricated a Cu film deposition system where the heating element is separated from the ceramic crucible, which makes ultra-rapid deposition possible by preventing heat loss. In addition, the resulting induction heating also contributes to the high deposition rate. By tuning the various parameters, we obtained a $100-{\mu}m$ thick Cu film whose heat conductivity is high and whose thickness uniformity is better than 2%, while the deposition rate is as high as $1000{\AA}/s$.

The objectives of this study were to develop an image processing algorithm for finding the sick or the dead layers(SDL) rearing in the multi-tier layer battery, which is a core technology of remote monitoring systems for layers, and to test the performance of algorithm developed in the experimental poultry housing. Based on the literature study and experiment, the standing up of layer was set as a criterion for judging layers whether sick or dead. Then, by the criterion set, an algorithm was developed. The image processing algorithm developed was tested how well it could and SDL at the experimental poultry housing. Test results showed that its monitoring correctness of layers standing up in the cages having all healthy layers was $92\%$, and $96\%$ in the cages having SDL. Therefore, it would be concluded that the image processing algorithm developed in this study was well suited to the purpose of development.

The purpose of this study is to understand the change of impression by comparing the uniformity lighting with the compound lighting. In previous study, we proposed a light controlling method to harmonize daylight from a window and artificial lights from a ceiling and obtained the results to support our method. We referred this method as the Adjusted Compound-Lighting Model (AC Model). The model claims that lighting in a room with a side-window are perceived as harmonious when the overall light distribution in the room is well approximated by a compound of lights from the window and the entire ceiling. The experiment is carried out with the scaled-models and mock-up spaces that were supposed to be an office space. One is lit by the uniform lighting and the other by the compound lighting in each experimental space. In order to present varying illuminance distributions, thetwo variables were used in this study. One was the ratio of thelight from the window and ceiling in the standard and evaluation box. The standard box was provided by the ratio of 20% to 40% from the window and 80% to 60% from the ceiling as two lighting ratio patterns [Wu20(=Cu80) and Wu40(=Cu60)]. And the evaluation box was provided by the light ratio of 0% to 40 from the window and 100% to 60% from the ceiling [Wcp0(=Ccp100), Wcp20(=Ccp80) and Wcp40(=Ccp60)]. The other variable was themean illuminance level in both boxes. Two level of mean illuminance (700lx and 300lx) were used in this experiment. Each lighting condition was established at equal horizontal mean illuminance level, held constant near 700lx or 300lx in both boxes. Both of them were similar in the shape of distribution when there were same ratios of lights from the window and the ceiling. Subjects were asked to evaluate the point of difference by semantic differential rating on their overall impression after comparing with two rooms. The results showed that the impressions of compound lighting were more positive score than that of uniformity lighting on the items of 'dim-bright', 'dislike-like', 'artificial-natural' and 'closed-open', and that there was no significant difference in impressions between two spaces on other items.

We present results of optical design and fabrication of a light guiding plate (LGP) to be used as an illumination system for photobioreactors. Modeling of a light-emitting diode (LED) light source, a reflection film, and LGP patterns was performed. Especially, the LGP patterns were modeled as Lambertian scatterers. The modeling parameters (reflectance, scatterer width) were determined through matching simulations with the experimentally measured illuminance distribution for a test LGP. An LGP for an LED light source was designed with the extracted model parameters, and fabricated using a computerized numerical control machine. Optical characteristics including average illuminance and uniformity of illuminance distribution were measured for the fabricated LGP.

In this paper, an omnidirectional visible light detector was developed by making the detecting surface of a flexible solar cell in a cylindrical form, which has a uniform receiving pattern in the horizontal plane. This solar cell detector receives simultaneously multiple signal lights incident from different directions and provides electrical power to the ASK demodulator in the receiver. In experiments, time division transmission method was used to receive three signal lights incident from different directions to the solar cell detector. Each signal light was ASK modulated using a carrier of 40 kHz, and the synchronizing pulses required for time division transmission were generated by detecting the 120 Hz AC signal included in the indoor illumination lamp with Cds cells. This receiving structure is useful in constructing an $N{\times}1$ optical link in visible light communication.

In this paper we present a barcode reader to decode two-dimensional symbology PDF417 and propose a novel method to extract the bar-space Patterns directly from the gray-level barcode image, which employs the location and the distance between extreme points of each row or column of the barcode image. This algerian proves to be very robust from the high convolutional distortion environments such as defocussing and warping, even under badly illuminating condition. If the scanned barcode image is a result of the convolution of a Gaussian-shaped point spread function with a hi-level image, popular image segmentation methods such as image thresholding can not distinguish between very narrow bar-space patterns. The Proposed algorithm shows improved Performance over current barcode readers.

In the paper, we proposed a new system to retrieve 3D wrinkle data based on stereo images. Usually, 3D reconstruction based on stereo images or video is very popular and it is the research focus, which has been applied for culture heritage, building and other scene. The target is object measurement, the scene depth calculation and 3D data obtained. There are several challenges in our research. First, it is hard to take the full information wrinkle images by cameras because of light influence, skin with non-rigid object and camera performance. We design a particular computer vision system to take winkle images with a long length camera lens. Second, it is difficult to get the dense stereo data because of the hard skin texture image segmentation and corner detection. We focus on semi-dense stereo matching algorithm for the wrinkle depth. Compared with the 3D scanner, our system is much cheaper and compared with the physical modeling based method, our system is more flexible with high performance.
