In this paper, we implemented an image sensor module possible of detecting color temperature in an indoor environment. The color temperature information in the video information acquired by the image sensor was matched with a color difference illuminometer to produce an LUT. An algorithm was developed so that color temperature information according to the received RGB values can be automatically calculated. As a result of measuring the color temperature with an image sensor indoors, an accurate result of less than 5.91% was obtained compared to the reference value. It was confirmed that the uniformity of 23.5% or more was excellent compared to the color temperature measurement result using a color sensor.

Recently, a wide range of products incorporating cutting-edge technology are being introduced in various sectors of design. Belkin's WeMo or Phillips' Hue are representative examples. In this context, the color-responsive lighting bookcase is a design product that would satisfy the needs of contemporary consumers who seek entertainment in their purchases. By installing lightings that change color according to the user's behavior, this design reconceptualizes the bookcase as a source of entertainment rather than a mundane object of household furnishing. The lighting apparatus can be detached and reattached, serving as stand-alone equipment. The lighting bookcase is modularized, comprising extensions equipped with MCU (Micro Controller Unit), RGB LED and color sensors. The bookcase as a whole is extendable towards four directions up to nine units with the lighting bookcase at the center. The extended, multiple lighting bookcases are wired to receive power from the main bookcase, and are equipped with RGB LEDs but not with MCUs or color sensors. Receiving power and color signals from the main lighting bookcase, the sub-bookcases feature changing shades of color. Also, it includes IoT(internet of Things). This study is a proposal of a design product, modularized to control the shades of the bookcase lighting using these sensors.

We detect the obstacle for the UGV(unmanned ground vehicle) from the compound image which is generated by stereo vision sensor masking the depth image and color image. Stereo vision sensor can gathers the distance information by stereo camera. The obstacle information from the depth compound image can be send to mobile robot and the robot can localize the indoor area. And, we test the performance of the mobile robot in terms of distance between the obstacle and the robot's position and also test the color, depth and compound image respectively. Moreover, we test the performance in terms of number of frame per second which is processed by operating machine. From the result, compound image shows the improved performance in distance and number of frames.

Nowadays image sensor is an essential component in many multimedia devices, and it is covered by a color filter array to filter out specific color components at each pixel. We need a certain algorithm to combine those color components reconstructed a full color image from incomplete color samples output from an image sensor, which is called a demosaicking process. Most existing demosaicking algorithms are developed for ideal image sensors, but they do not work well for the practical cases because of dissimilar characteristics of each sensor. In this paper, we propose a new demosaicking algorithm in which the color filter characteristics are fully utilized to generate a good image. To demonstrate significance of our algorithm, we used a commerically available sensor, CBN385B, which is a sort of Honeycomb-style CFA(Color Filter Array) CCD image sensor. As a performance metric of the algorithm, PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) and RGB distribution of the output image are used. We first implemented our algorithm in C-language for simulation on various input images. As a result, we could obtain much enhanced images whose PSNR was improved by 4~8 dB compared to the commonly idealized approaches, and we also could remove the inclined red property which was an unique characteristics of the image sensor(CBN385B).Then we implemented it in hardware to overcome its problem of computational complexity which made it operate slow in software. The hardware was verified on Spartan-3E FPGA(Field Programable Gate Array) to give almost the same performance as software, but in much faster execution time. The total logic gate count is 45K, and it handles 25 image frmaes per second.

The main functionality of occupancy sensors is to determine the existence of humans in the space. If the space is occupied, a light is on and for vacancy, the light automatically turns off. In this letter, the functionality is realized by the utilization of color information. The color information of incoming people is saved. For outgoing people, their color distribution is compared with the saved information, thus providing the recognition of the outgoing people. For the comparison, four similarity metrics are examined to validate the proposed method.

This paper presents an urine analyzer using color images of strip. An image sensor has been used to acquire an color images. The analyzer has a characteristics which takes a pictures of independent each pad responding to urine items all at once, and outputs the measured urine values by analysing an acquired pad colors. This device measures and analyses 11 urine items, and has a speed-up operation, light weight, small size, and makes accurate observations by processing the measured colors using processor. The urine analyzer transmits the urine items to peripheral devices, personal computers, hospitals, and another places by using a telegraph and a wireless interfaces.

Digital cameras adopting a single CCD detector collect image color by subsampling in three color planes and successively interpolating the information to reconstruct full-resolution color images. Therefore, to recovery of a full-resolution color image from a color filter array (CFA) like the Bayer pattern is generally considered as an interpolation issue for the unknown color components. In this paper, we first calculate luminance component value by combining R, G, B channel component information which is quite different from the conventional demosaicing algorithm. Because conventional system calculates G channel component followed by computing R and B channel components. Integrating the obtained gradient edge information and the improved weighting function in luminance component, a new edge sensitive demosaicing technique is presented. Based on 24 well known testing images, simulation results proved that our presented high-quality demosaicing technique shows the best image quality performance when compared with several recently presented techniques.

인체 장기의 내부 구조를 학습하기 위해 많은 3 차원 인체영상관련 콘텐츠들이 소개되어 왔다. 하지만, 이러한 학습 콘텐츠들은 사실적인 색상을 표현하기 어려울 뿐만 아니라 사용자가 조작할 때 현실감이 떨어지기 때문에 해부도감과 같은 2 차원 학습 콘텐츠와 차별성이 적다. 본 논문에서는 사실적인 인체 색 정보를 가지고 있는 컬러 인체 데이터와 사용자의 동작을 인식하는 센서를 활용하여 몰입감 높은 체험형 가상 내시경 모의 훈련 시스템을 제안한다. 컬러 인체 데이터를 양안시 볼륨렌더링 하여 입체감을 높이고 동작인식 센서를 이용하여 사용자의 손동작으로 직접 가상 내시경 카메라를 조작하여 항행하도록 하였다. 제안한 시스템을 이용하여 다양한 인체 장기의 내부 구조를 사실적으로 표현할 수 있으며 이를 통해 의학정보 학습에 도움을 줄 수 있다.
