In the digital camera system, CMOS image sensor (CIS) is widely used because its size and weight become smaller and power consumption becomes lower. However, there are common problems that colors of the recorded image do not match those of the photographed object and that spectral sensitivity of the CIS used in different cameras varies largely in each case. Therefore, color correction is needed because the spectral sensitivity of the CIS in each color is neither the same color component for most standard colors nor the appropriate color representation for any output devices. In the conventional method, a color correction is empirically obtained by a large number of iterative experiments, but the result is not so satisfied. In this paper, a new method to obtain the efficient color correction matrix for digital camera using CIS is proposed. We obtain camera transfer matrix under the certain white-balance point, and color correction matrix that makes the transfer characteristic of digital camera close to the transfer characteristic of ideal camera is obtained. The experimental results show that the transfer characteristic of digital camera by the proposed method is close to that of the ideal camera. In addition, the image quality of pictures of digital camera using the proposed method is dramatically improved.

Quality and resolution of camera in mobile device is improved significantly. In this paper, we propose block-based information hide techniques without image distortion for mobile device to solve image degradation in conventional watermarking methods. Information of image is composed with text such as camera maker, model, date, time, etc. Each text is converted to $8{\times}8$ pixel blocks and is added to the bottom of image. Generally image including block based information for image authentication are compressed using JPEG in mobile device. The vertical line value in JPEG header is modified by original size of image sensor. This technique can hide the block based authentication information using general decoder. In the experimental results, JPEG file size is slightly increased within 0.1% for the proposed block based authentication information encoding. Finally proposed methods can be adopted for various embedded systems using medical image, smart phone and DSLR camera.

Mobile devices such as mobile phones or PDAs are considered as main interlace tools in ubiquitous computing environment. For searching information in mobile device, it should be possible for user to input some text as well as to control cursor for navigation. So, we should find efficient interlace method for text input in limited dimension of mobile devices. This study intends to suggest a new approach to mobile interaction using camera based virtual keyboard for text input in mobile devices. We developed a camera based virtual keyboard prototype using a PC camera and a small size LCD display. User can move the prototype in the air to control the cursor over keyboard layout in screen and input text by pressing a button. The new interaction method in this study is evaluated as competitive compared to mobile phone keypad in left input efficiency. And the new method can be operated by one hand and make it possible to design smaller device by eliminating keyboard part. The new interaction method can be applied to text input method for mobile devices requiring especially small dimension. And this method can be modified to selection and navigation method for wireless internet contents on small screen devices.

Smart-phone in the recently released high-end applied to the camera module is equipped with the most features auto focusing camera module. Also, auto focusing camera module is divided into voice coil motor, encoder, and piezo according to type of motion mechanism. Auto focusing camera module is composed of voice coil motor (VCM) as an actuator and leaf spring as a guide and suspension. VCM actuator is made of magnet, yoke as a metal, and coil as a copper wire. Recently, the assembly as yoke and magnet is made by human resources. These process has a long process time and it is difficult to secure quality. Also, These process is not economical in cost, and productivity is reduced. Therefore, an automatic assembly as yoke and magnet is needed in the present process. In this paper, we have developed an automatic assembly device that can automatically assemble yoke and magnet, and performed verifying performance. Therefore, by using the developed automatic assembly device, it is possible to increase the productivity and reduce the production cost.

The technologies related with information communication regions are progressing continuously. These technologies in today are converged with different industries in rapidly. Because of these properties, A number of data are made in our life. Through many devices such as smart phone, camera, game machine, tablet pc, various data types are produced and the traffic is increased. We called it Big Data. There are many efforts to create new worth creation through Big Data utilization. Therefore, we described current trends and future of Big Data in this paper.

In this paper, it proposes a method that uses an air pump to inject oxygen to water directly to prevent the growth of algae and cyanobacterium using MCU(Micro Controller Unit). MCU can control itself with modules of GPS, a sonic sensor, camera, conveyer belt and water pump to remove and prevent growths of algae. It can also be connected to the smart phone application software to track the system where it is and it can be controlled by the user interfaced with the smart phone application.

In order to produce high-quality optical components, aspheric lenses have been widely applied in recent years. An aspheric lens consists of aspheric surfaces instead of spherical ones, which causes difficulty in the design process as well as the manufacturing procedure. Although injection molding is widely used to fabricate optical lenses owing to its high productivity, there remains lots of difficulty to determine appropriate mold design factors and injection molding parameters. In the injection molding fields, computer simulation has been effectively applied to analyze processes based on the shell analysis so far. Considering the geometry of optical lenses, a full-3d simulation based on solid elements has been reported as a reliable approach. The present work covers three-dimensional injection molding simulation and relevant deformation analysis of an injection molded plastic lens based on 3d solid elements. Numerical analyses have been applied to the injection molding processes of three aspheric lenses for an image sensing module of a mobile phone. The reliability of the proposed approach has been verified in comparison with the experimental results.

모바일 폰에서 IrDA를 통하여 개인정보 (전화번호부, 동영상, 사진등) 송수신시 IrMC, IrOBEX 그리고 HDLC 프로토콜 기반위의 IrLAP등의 프로토콜 스택을 사용하고 있다. Primary, secondary 두 mobile phone 간에 IrLAP layer의 payload data 송수신시 이용되는 3가지 physical layer schemes 중 전송속도 1l5.2kbps data rate의 제안된 표준인 Asynchronous(Async) frame 방식을 이용한다. [1] 현재의 모바일 폰에서는 Async frame scheme을 구현하기 위한 인터페이스 방식 중 UART 인터페이스를 이용하여 구현하고 있다. 현 모바일 폰에 이미 구현 되어 있는 기존 UART의 FIFO 제어 방법과 Interrupt service routine의 제어 알고리즘을 개선하여 기존 제어 방식과 비교하고 향상된 성능의 결과는 Throughput로 도출한다. 현 모바일 폰에서 사용자가 개인 정보 data등을 저장할 수 메모리 공간이 점점 늘어나고 있는 추세이다. Camera의 해상도 현 5Mega pixel까시 지원되고 동영상 파일 등도 근거리 무선통신인 IrDA로 송수신할 수 있으므로 본 성능비교 file의 size는 100Mega 이상도 비교할 수 있도록 하였다.

A novel interaction method for mobile phones using their built-in cameras is presented. By estimating the path connecting the center points of frames captured by the camera phone, objects of interest can be easily extracted and recognized. To estimate the movement of the mobile phone, corners and corresponding Speeded-Up Robust Features descriptors are used to calculate the spatial transformation parameters between the previous and current frames. These parameters are then used to recalculate the locations of the center points in the previous frame into the current frame. The experiment results obtained from real image sequences show that the proposed system is efficient, flexible, and able to provide accurate and stable results.
