A personal computer based color machine vision system with video camera and fluorescent lighting system was used to generate images of stationary tobacco leaves. Image processing algorithms were developed to extract both the geometric and the color features of tobacco leaves. Geometric features include area, perimeter, centroid, roundness and complex ratio. Color calibration scheme was developed to convert measured pixel values to the standard color unit using both statistics and artificial neural network algorithm. Improved back propagation algorithm showed less sum of square errors than multiple linear regression. Color features provide not only quality evaluation quantities but the accurate color measurement. Those quality features would be useful in grading tobacco automatically. This system would also be useful in measuring visual features of other agricultural products.

In this paper, it was attempted to analyze the optimal design of light emitting diode (LED), a source of back light unit (BLU). LED is beginning with commercialized red LED which is made by GaAsP compound semiconductor, and has been developed focusing on liquid crystal panel. In order to get the optimal design, optical simulation was made by analyzing luminosity shape, reflector angle, chip depth, and chip position of LED lighting. Final results show that the proposed LED characteristics were useful to increase light efficiency and it has been proven by distribution chart for actual exposed light on the light guide panel (LGP).

Cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) are used to provide lighting for liquid crystal displays (LCDs). This paper presents a set of guidelines for measurement characterization and design to reduce the power consumption of CCFL LCD backlight inverters and panel electronics. The proposed methods aim to reduce the backlight power consumption by fine-tuning a back-light inverter for a specific LCD, using several methods. First, the authors describe their power measurement methodology; and next, they identify different areas for tuning a backlight inverter for a given display. The experiment results showed that power savings can range from 50 to 200mW if the backlight inverter is properly tuned. This paper also proposes an optimized configuration for light-emitting device (LED) panels to reduce power loss by selecting a LED with a specific input voltage and number of cells to help minimize power loss.

CCFL(cold cathode fluorescent lamp) are used to backlight of LCD(liquid crystal display). CCFL dimming methods are used to pulse frequency modulation(PFM) or pulse width modulation(PWM). In this paper, design of CCFL driving and control circuit by half-bridge type series and parallel resonant inverter that variable frequency modulation method to control the output voltage current. Inverter switching frequency is higher than resonant frequency for stable operating, and it is possible dimming control. On the basis of equivalent circuit, the validity of this study is confirmed by the comparison of simulation and experimental result.

LCD BLU에 광원의 수명을 측정하고, 고장모드를 분석하기 위해서는 광원을 구성하고 있는 각각의 성분 중에서 광원 자체를 구성하고 있는 R/G/B 광원에 대한 Burn-in test 및 고장모드를 분석하였다. LCD BLU에 있어서 R/G/B LED광원의 역할은 BLU 자체의 수명과 성능에 가장 큰 영향을 미친다. 서로 각각 사용조건하에서의 수명과 성능의 차이에 따라서 BLU 자체의 수명이 결정된다. 이를 평가가기 위해 LED device에 대한 가속수명테스트를 위한 Burn-in test를 실시하였으며, 발생한 고장모드를 분석하였다. 분석결과 누설전류 증가로 인한 불량이 주로 발생하였다. 누설전류 증가를 평가하기 위해 Photo emission microscope(PHEMOS-1000, MoDooTEK Inc.)을 이용하여 저전류에서의 LED chip의 누설전류에 의한 발광을 관찰함으로 인해, LED chip의 신뢰성 및 평가 기준이 됨을 알 수 있다.

With the need for efficient maintenance technology to reduce maintenance costs for steel bridges, repainting robots are being developed to automate the work in narrow and poor bridge spaces. The repainting robot is equipped with a blasting module to remove paint layers and contaminants. This study developed a prototype monitoring module to be mounted on the repainting robot. The monitoring module analyzes the condition of the painting surface through a camera installed in the front, guides the direction of movement of the robot, and provides the operator with a video to check the working status after blasting through a camera installed in the back. Various image visibility enhancement technologies were applied to the monitoring module to overcome worksite challenges where incomplete lighting and dust occurs.

The purpose of this research was to develop a smart wear equipped with wearable technologies for women in the age of 50's and 60's and confirm its acceptability. For this, we constructed a casual jacket that has the integration of heating and lighting function, and evaluated the user's satisfaction. The size of the heating device attached at the back of the jacket was 300 mm in width and 120 mm in length and the size of the one attached at the front abdomen was 180 mm in width and 120 mm in length. The power supplier was the unification of the battery and controller which have been waterproofed. The lighting device connected with LED was 26mm in width, 20 mm in length and 1.5 mm in thickness. It has been designed in a waterproofed rectangular shape and was attachable to the jacket. The satisfaction survey of a smart jacket has been conducted with three standards, which were convenience, appearance and practicality. Free physical movement among the standard of convenience had very high scores with the average of 4.7 on a five point-scale. The acceptability of the jacket was 4.6, which proved that it didn't have unique feelings compared to ordinary ones. The evaluation score of the appearance of the jacket was 4.5. Especially inside finishing of the jacket received the highest scores from all ages. According to the evaluation of practicality, there has been no change in the appearance of the jacket and the function of heating device after laundry.

Sound insulation performance of a unit cabin mock-up is studied, where two identical rooms simulating cruise ship cabin are installed. STL (Sound Transmission Loss) measurement in the mock-up shows that STL of the partition between rooms is degraded by imperfect door ceiling and gap between wall and floor. It is also observed that gap around lighting and electrical outlet slightly affect the STL in high frequency ranges, since lighting and electrical outlet are supported by mineral wool in the back side due to fire-resistance requirement. Even after all possible gaps are sealed, STL of the partition is found to be lower than that measured in the laboratory by 9 dB. Measurement of SBN (Structure-Borne Noise) reveals that flanking transmission of SBN along the steel deck floor can severely deteriorate STL of the partition. Statistical energy analysis (SEA) of the mock-up confirms importance of the floor SBN control, in which increasing damping is essential to ensure high STL.

본 논문에서는 red, green, blue(RGB) 광학 센서를 이용하여 RGB light-emitting diode(LED) back light unit(BLU)의 출력색 자극의 변화를 점검하여 RGB LED BLU가 시간에 따라 일정한 목표 색 자극을 출력할 수 있도록 하는 RGB LED BLU 구동 전류 펄스 duty 값을 도출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 우선, 현재 RGB LED BLU가 발하는 색 자극 정보를 획득하기 위해 RGB 광학 센서의 출력으로부터 CIEXYZ 색 자극을 계산할 수 있는 RGB to XYZ 변환 행렬을 도출한다. 다양한 RGB LED BLU 색 자극 샘플에 대한 RGB 광학 센서의 출력 값과 CIEXYZ 색 자극 값의 쌍을 이용하여 다항 회귀 방정식을 만들고 각 항의 계수로 행렬을 구성한다. 다음으로, 현재 RGB LED BLU 상태에서 목표 색 자극 값을 발할 수 있는 duty 값을 구하기 위해 목표 색 자극으로부터 duty 값을 계산할 수 있는 XYZ to Duty 변환 행렬을 도출한다. 현재, 한 단계 이전, 두 단계 이전 시점에서 RGB 광학 센서의 출력으로부터 추정한 CIEXYZ 값과 그때 인가된 duty 값의 쌍을 이용하여 다항 회귀 방정식을 만들고 각 항의 계수로 행렬을 구성한다. 일정 시간 간격으로 RGB LED BLU의 출력 색 자극을 점검할 때마다 XYZ to Duty 변환 행렬은 RGB LED BLU의 현재 상태에 적응적으로 변하게 되어 목표 색 자극을 출력할 수 있는 duty 값을 계산할 수 있게 된다.
