본 연구는 글자색과 바탕색간의 휘도대비에 따른 가독성의 변화를 알아보고. 이때 이 관계가 화면의 크기와 가독량에 따라 어떻게 달라지가를 살펴 보고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다. 실험의 외적 타당도를 높이기 위해 실험에서 알아보고자 하는 변인 이외의 요인은 선행 연구들에서 나타난 최적 수치를 적용하여 통제하였고2번의 사전실험을 통해 가독량과 휘도대비의 단계를 결정하였다. 실험결과, 글자색과 바탕색의 휘도대비는 quadratic한 관계를 보였고 곡선의 만곡점은 C값 0.951로 나타났다. 만곡점으로 나타난 이 적정치 값은 화면의 크기와 가독량과는 상관없이 항상 동일하게 나타났다. 이것은 화면의 크기와 가독량에 상관없이 휘도대비가 최대일 때 가독성이 최대가 아니며 휘도대비의 적정치 값을 벗어나게 되면 가독성이 떨어지고 피로도가 높아진다는 것을 의미한다.

Purpose: To investigate changes of contrast sensitivity with decreasing luminance in photopic conditions. Methods: Contrast sensitivities for 63 university students were investigated at 5 different luminance levels using FACT chart. Results: All contrast sensitivities measured were in the normal range. The peak of contrast sensitivity function was observed to move from 6 to 3 cpd between 40 and $10cd/m^2$. From an intersection point of two hypothetical lines related with contrast sensitivity for 6 and 3 cpd, we could evaluated that the peak moved from 6 to 3 cpd at about $25cd/m^2$. When luminance decreases from 120 to $10cd/m^2$, contrast sensitivity loss at 6 cpd was most, while contrast sensitivity at 1.5 cpd changed little. We could evaluate that at luminance of more than $25cd/m^2$ evaluated approximately, contrast sensitivity was high in the following order of spatial frequency: 18< 12<1.5<3<6 cpd, while at luminance of less than about $25cd/m^2$ as follows: 18<12<1.5<6<3 cpd. Contrast sensitivity losses with decreasing luminance were also evaluated using the decrements and decrement rates of contrast sensitivity. The decrement of contrast sensitivity was the greatest at 6 cpd, while the decrement rate was the greatest at 8 cpd. Conclusions: We propose that evaluation methods used in this research may be available as another methods to evaluate the changes of contrast sensitivity.

Poor quality and lower levels of lighting can produce severe problems in visual environment including glare, veiling reflections and contrast. This study aims to evaluate the lighting environment around VDTs. For the purpose, brightness contrast on screen, Reyboaed, and document, and their illumination were measured and compared to German Standard. The lighting environment of two offices untilizing VDTs were significantly different according to the daylight direction; the side and the frontward.

본 논문에서는 컬러 장치들간에 색을 일치시키기 위하여 휘도 대비와 채도 향상을 고려한 원형 색역 사상(circular shape-based gamut mapping)방법을 제안하였다. 서로 다른 장치들간에 색역을 일치시키기 위해 장치 독립적이고 균등 색 공간인 CIELAB값으로 변환하여 색역 사상을 수행하였다. 인간 시각에 상대적으로 민감한 특성을 가지는 휘도 성분을 JND(just noticeable difference)에 기반해 분할하고, 이를 기점으로 색역을 원의 형태로 나눈다. 이렇게 나뉜 색역은 사상의 방향성을 결정하는 기본 단위로 사용되어, 이들 영역을 기점으로 영역 대 영역별 사상 방법을 사용하였다. 제안한 색역 사상 방법을 모니터와 프린터간에 적용한 결과 보다 선명하고 휘도 대비가 높은 영상을 얻을 수 있었다.

터널 경계구역 내의 필수 조명기준은 가시기준, 즉 충분한 물체의 대비에 의해 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 터널도로를 대상으로 주간의 터널 입구부의 배경을 디지털 카메라로 측정하고, 그 이미지를 감지대비법의 일종인 광막휘도법(Veiling Luminance Method)과 기존 $20^{\circ}$ 시야의 L20법에 적용하여 터널의 경계부 평균휘도를 산출하였으며, 그 결과를 비교, 분석하였다.

청계천의 경관조명은 하천을 가로지르는 다리 22개를 비롯하여 다양한 경관요소에 대하여 주변경관에 알맞는 경관조명으로 청계천의 특성을 부각시키고 있다. 특히 수변공간의 경관에서 큰 비중을 차지하고 있는 교량의 경관조명이 야간 청계천 경관의 아름다움을 좌우한다고 할 수 있다. 다양한 구조형태 및 특징을 가진 22개의 교량은 특색에 맞는 조명연출로 인지도를 주어 보행자로 하여금 청계천에 대한 방향감 및 공간감을 제공한다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 청계천 교량의 경관조명 효과를 분석하는 것이다 이를 위하여 청계천 8개의 교량을 대상으로 휘도, 색온도, 색도분포를 측정하였으며 측정 결과는 다음과 같다. 오피스 지역에 위치해 있는 교량은 배경과 교량의 휘도대비가 시각적으로 명확성이 좋은 것으로 나타났으며 색온도는 차가운 느낌과 따뜻한 느낌의 조명이 조화를 이루며 교량의 온열감을 표현하는 것으로 나타났다. 상업지역에 위치해 있는 교량의 경우 오피스 지역의 교량보다는 휘도대비가 작게 나타났지만 시각적 측면에서는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 색온도는 안정감 있는 느낌을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 주거지역에 위치해 있는 교량의 경우 교량자체의 휘도평균은 낮게 나타나 주변 환경을 고려하여 밝지 않게 조명된 것으로 판단된다. 전체적으로 청계천 교량의 경관조명 특성은 교량의 주변 환경에 따라 다른 효과가 연출된 것으로 나타났다.

The main causes of traffic accidents while driving a car is of the driver's visual distraction. In this study, the color sensitivity of the information projected on the windshield were evaluated for HUD (Head Up Display) system which helps the driver's eyes on the road while driving. The driving Information were projected $9^{\circ}$ downward from front sight $0^{\circ}$ under lab's fluorescent lights, LED floorlights and the TV had having 25 [lux] illumination when driving at night environment and 100,000 [lux] of daylight environment. Munsell color hue of the basic five colors (R, Y, G, B, P) and the color of traffic lights YR, W were the color of the seven characters, each character were outlined by White, Gray except for W. Total of 19 experimental stimuli was shown in the environment of day and night driving for asking visibility information of color, fatigue, preferences, and evaluate the degree of interference. The results came out that the bright Y and G color is visibility significantly for daylight. Second, with the outline of the text, the color of the outline works as a background for luminance contrast effects and affects visibility. Third, without the outline, the glass in front of the vehicle acts as the background and the luminance contrast of characters achieve greater brightness and visibility. The luminance contrast between the stimuli and background should be considered for increasing color visibility for driving information which is an important factor for HUD commercialization.

Murakami and Cavanagh (1998a,b, 1999) reported a jitter aftereffect in a static random noise after a period of adaptation to a patch of dynamic random noise. To a account for this phenomenon. they proposed the retinal slip caused by a small eye movements in the unadapted area, which is usually compensated by the visual system to stabilize images but is unsuppressed due to the adaptation. We tested this hypothesis with new experimental method and stimuli that were supposed to nullify or reduce the effect. However. the aftereffect was still observed even under these stimuls conditions More importantly, the perceived aftereffect was rather different from Murakami and Cavanagh's. After adaptation to a counterphase flickering cosine grating, the adjacent unadapted region seems to move away from the observer during the test period instead of jittering in the frontoparallel plane. We proposed a possible explanation for this new phenomenon noting the severe contrast reduction of the adapted region during flickering period. The aftereffect might be due to the flicker-inducing contrast reduction during adaptation that produces different depth planes for the adapted and unadapted region and its restoration during the test period.

This paper proposes a gamut mapping algorithm based on color space division for cross media color reproduction. As each color device has a limited range of producible colors, reproduced colors on a destination device are different from those of the original device. In order to reduce the color difference, the proposed method divides the whole gamut into parabolic shapes based on intersecting lightness by the just noticeable difference (JND) and the original device gamut boundary. Dividing the gamut with parabolic shapes and piecewise mapping of each region not only considers gamut characteristics but also provides for mapping uniformity. Also the lightness variations are more sensitive to the human visual system and by using lightness JND it can restrict lightness mapping variations that are unperceivable to enhance lightness contrast and chrominance. As a result, the proposed algorithm is able to reproduce high quality images using low-cost color devices.
