In recent years, most automobile manufacturers have been using slim light source images to imprint their own brand image and identity. A light guide type lamp is widely used for making these kinds of a slim light source image. A light guide lamp means using a light emitting diode light source at one end of a long cylindrical pipe. The light from the light emitting diode source moves through the pipe by total reflection principle. Moving light is sent forward by various optic structures which is applied in the cylindrical pipe. However, the light guide lamp has a problem that the image of the light differs depending on the viewing direction, and in some cases there is dark section. It means light guide has low quality about lighting image. In this paper, trying to improve the fundamental problems of the light guide mentioned above by using various triz methods. Through functional modeling, estimating the factors affecting the light in the light guide lamp and make various ideas to improve the lighting image using the chain effect cause analysis, function oriented search scientific database techniques. Using these kinds of various TRIZ methods, finally find solutions that can improve the brightness and lighting uniformity of the light guide lamp. The ideas obtained in this paper were applied to actual vehicle development, and several patents achievements were obtained. In conclusion, it is proved that TRIZ method is useful for making ideas in actual automobile industrial field and is also a useful method for acquiring patent.

We present surface photometry results of the dwarf galaxies in the nearby NGC 2784 galaxy group. We newly detected about 30 dwarf galaxy candidates at about 30 square degree area around the nearby NGC 2784 galaxy (D~10 Mpc and MV=-20.5) applying a visual inspection technique on the wide-field optical images taken by the KMTNet Supernova Program (KSP). Surface brightnesses of the objects estimated from the stacked-images with total exposure time of about 6 hours reach approximately ${\mu}V$ ~28.5 mag/arcsec2 around $3{\sigma}$ above sky background. The central surface brightness and the total absolute magnitude for the faintest candidate dwarf galaxy among about 40 galaxies including the previously known ones is ${\mu}0$, V~26.1 mag/arcsec2 and MV~-9.5 mag, respectively. The effective radii of the candidates are larger than ~200 pc. The radial number density of the dwarf galaxy candidates from the center of NGC 2784 is decreasing. The mean color (<(B-V)0>~0.7) and $S{\acute{e}}rsic$ structure parameters of the dwarfs, assuming them to be located in the NGC 2784 group, are well consistent with those of the dwarf galaxies in other groups (e.g. M83 group and the Local Group (LG)). The faint-end slope of the cumulative luminosity function (CLF) of the galaxies in NGC 2784 group is about ${\alpha}=-1.2$, which is steeper than that of the LG galaxies, but is much flatter than that of the CLF expected by a ${\Lambda}CDM$ model.

본 논문에서는 영상의 비선형 평활화와 특징들의 통계적 상관성에 기반을 둔 조합형 인식성능 개선기법을 제안하였다. 여기서 비선형 평활화는 로지스틱 함수에 기반을 둔 히스토그램 재조정의 전처리 기법으로 영상의 밝기를 조정하여 화질을 개선하기 위함이다. 통계적 상관성은 정규상호상관계수에 의해 측정되며, 이는 유사도를 좀 더 빠르고 정확하게 측정하기 위함이다. 또한 독립성분분석에 의한 국부적인 특징들을 대상으로 정규상호상관을 계산함으로써 좀 더 정확한 유사도를 통계적으로 측정하기 위함이다. 제안된 기법을 30개 40*50픽셀의 명암도 변화를 가지는 얼굴영상들을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 전처리를 하지 않은 기법이나 기존 및 적응적 변형히스토그램 평활화에 의한 전처리 기법에 비해 각각 영상의 속성을 잘 반영한 우수한 인식성능이 있음을 확인하였다.

지역 히스토그램 평활화 방법은 입력 영상의 국부적은 밝기 특성을 부각시키기 위한 가장 널리 사용되는 방법들 중 하나이다. 그러나 지역 히스토그램 평활화 기반의 방법들은 몇 가지의 문제점들을 발생시킨다. 먼저, 국부적인 특성들을 과도하게 부각시켜 의도하지 않는 결함들을 발생시킨다. 두 번째, 국부 특성들의 향상이 전역 콘트라스트 향상을 증대시키지는 않는다는 점이다. 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위해, 우리는 광원 정보를 이용한 지역 히스토그램 평활화 방법을 제안한다. 먼저, 광원 정보를 추정하기 위하여 제안하는 방법은 입력 영상의 다운 샘플링과 업 샘플링 과정을 통하여 획득된 블러 영상과 원 영상을 융합한다. 그 후, 지역 히스토그램 평활화 방법에서 추정한 변환 함수를 광원 정보를 이용하여 적응적으로 조절한다. 그 결과 기존 방법에서 발생할 수 있는 결함을 억제시키면서, 전역 콘트라스트와 국부 콘트라스트를 동시에 향상시킬 수 있다. 실험 결과들은 제안하는 방법이 기존 방법에 비해 수치적인 면과 시각적인 면에서 뛰어난 결과를 보임을 확인할 수 있다.

We have compared the column densities of $H_2CO$, $^{13}CO$, $C^{18}O$, $^{12}CO$, CS, and $HCO^+$ to the visual extinctions derived from star counts in eight dark clouds, L1317, B1, L1551, L1535, L1544, L134, L134N, and B335. We examined the degree of correlation between molecules and extinctions. The contours of $^{13}CO$, $H_2CO$, and CS distributions show an excellent coincidence with those of the visual extinction. Even though the plots of molecule brightness temperature or column density as a function of the visual extinction show a considerable scatter, a good correlation is found between the two quantities. The turnover of the ratios of $^{13}CO$ and $H_2CO$ column densities to the visual extinction at high extinctions observed in several clouds is not apparent in this work. The ratios seem to maintain constant values within the range of $A_V$ we studied. The slopes of the relations between the molecule column density and extinction, and the threshold values of extinction for detection of molecules are comparable to the other works. The cause of the slope difference is discussed. We derived, for the first time, the relations of CS and $HCO^+$ column densities and the visual extinction. The ratio of CS column density to extinction is at least two orders of magnitude lower than the mean value for $^{13}CO$, but the threshold for detection of CS is comparable to that of $^{13}CO$. The ratio of the $HCO^+$ column density to extinction is one to two orders of magnitude lower than the mean ratio for $H_2CO$.

LED는 친환경적 특성, 긴 수명, 우수한 효율 등의 장점이 있어 최근 기존의 백열전등 및 형광등을 대체하는 조명 수단으로 각광받고 있다. 또한, LED는 전기를 빛으로 변환하는 속도가 굉장히 빠른 반도체로 정보의 변조 및 인코딩이 용이하기 때문에 통신 소자로서 활용이 가능하다. 이를 이용하여 기존의 조명 기능을 수행함과 동시에 부가적으로 근거리 무선 통신을 수행하는 것을 가시광 통신 시스템이라 한다. 기존의 전압원 구동 가시광 통신 시스템의 경우, 스위치의 선형 영역 구동으로 인해 전력 변환 효율의 저하 및 발열이 심각하였다. 본 논문에서는 스위치를 스위칭 영역에서 구동시킴으로써 전력 변환 효율과 발열의 획기적인 개선이 가능한 고효율 스위칭 방식의 LED 드라이버를 제안한다. 또한 3MHz 무선 오디오 통신 시스템에 제안된 20W급 LED 드라이버를 적용하여 그 타당성을 검증한다.

Mn-doped $ZnGa_{2}O_{4}$:$Mn^{2+}$ (M=S, Se) thin film phosphors have been grown using a pulsed laser deposition technique under various growth conditions. The structural characterization carr~ed out on a series of $ZnGa_{2}O_{4}$:$Mn^{2+}$ (M=S, Se) films grown on MgO(l00) substrates usmg Zn-rich ceramic targets. Oxygen pressure was varied from 50 to 200 mTorr and Zn/Ga ratio was the function of oxygen pressure. XRD patterns showed that the lattice constants of the $ZnGa_{2}O_{4}$:$Mn^{2+}$ (M=S, Se) thin film decrease with the substitution of sulfur and selenium for the oxygen in the $ZnGa_2O_4$. Measurements of photoluminescence (PL) properties of $ZnGa_{2}O_{4}$:$Mn^{2+}$ (M=S, Se) thin films have indicated that MgO(100) is one of the most promised substrates for the growth of high quality $ZnGa_2O_{4-x}M_{x}$:$Mn^{2+}$ (M=S, Se) thin films. In particular, the incorporation of Sulfur or Selenium into $ZnGa_2O_4$ lattice could induce a remarkable increase in the intensity of PL. The increasing of green emission intensity was observed with $ZnGa_2O_{3.925}Se_{0.075}:$Mn^{2+}$ and $ZnGa_2O_{3.925}S_{0.05}$:$Mn^{2+}$ films, whose brightness was increased by a factor of 3.1 and 1.4 in comparison with that of $ZnGa_{2}O_{4}$:$Mn^{2+}$ films, respectively. These phosphors may promise for application to the flat panel displays.

최근 센서 네트워크 기술의 발달과 카메라 기술의 발달로 이 두 기술을 접목한 비쥬얼 센서 기술을 이용하여 사람이 접근하기 어려운 지역을 효과적으로 관찰 또는 감시하고자 하는 수요가 증가하고 있다. 비쥬얼 센서를 이용한 응용은 실외 지역을 카메라 센서를 이용하여 촬영하기 때문에 날씨나 시간에 따라 영상의 대비가 좋지 않은 영상이 얻어질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 동일한 지역을 지속적으로 촬영하는 비쥬얼 센서의 특성을 이용하여 조도 대비 컬러 특성을 모델링하고 이 특성을 이용하여 대비가 개선된 영상을 실시간으로 만들 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. 제시하는 모델은 영상에서 관심영역을 설정하고 관심영역에 대해서 조도 대비 컬러 특성을 측정하여 이를 감마함수 형태로 모델링한다. 실험 결과는 제안하는 방법이 간단하면서도 정확하게 저대비 영상의 컬러 성분들을 보정하여 영상의 대비를 개선하는 것을 보여준다.

Low-light image enhancement is a key technique to overcome the quality degradation of photos taken under scotopic vision illumination conditions. The degradation includes low brightness, low contrast, and outstanding noise, which would seriously affect the vision of the human eye recognition ability and subsequent image processing. In this paper, we propose an approach based on deep learning and Retinex theory to enhance the low-light image, which includes image decomposition, illumination prediction, image reconstruction, and image optimization. The first three parts can reconstruct the enhanced image that suffers from low-resolution. To reduce the noise of the enhanced image and improve the image quality, a super-resolution algorithm based on the Laplacian pyramid network is introduced to optimize the image. The Laplacian pyramid network can improve the resolution of the enhanced image through multiple feature extraction and deconvolution operations. Furthermore, a combination loss function is explored in the network training stage to improve the efficiency of the algorithm. Extensive experiments and comprehensive evaluations demonstrate the strength of the proposed method, the result is closer to the real-world scene in lightness, color, and details. Besides, experiments also demonstrate that the proposed method with the single low-light image can achieve the same effect as multi-exposure image fusion algorithm and no ghost is introduced.

In roadside workplaces, more attention should be paid to the safety of workers. The roadside workers underestimate the effect of the brightness of their clothes and judge that drivers will recognize them easily, and the drivers misjudge that the roadside workers are far away and that the vehicle can be stopped in sufficient time. Therefore, customized safety education reflecting this and wearing work clothes with certified visibility functions are required. In Korea, it is not compulsory for roadside workers and vehicle guide attendants to wear work clothes with a visibility function. In this study, the distance ahead perceived by drivers was measured using manikins wearing certified and non-certified reflective safety vests. The perception distance of the non-certified reflective safety vest was 1.4 times longer than that of the certified reflective safety vest, thus confirming the importance of wearing a certified reflective safety vest. To prevent roadside workers from suffering traffic accidents, we propose the enactment of a law that makes it mandatory for them to wear high-visibility safety clothing. Specifically, Article 32 of the Enforcement Regulation of the Road Traffic Act should include high-visibility safety clothing in life protection equipment, and additionally, to prevent secondary accidents, we propose the enactment of a law requiring the installation and wearing of certified reflective safety vests in vehicles.
