목적: 광학적으로 유발된 망막흐림의 정도에 따른 시력감소의 개인차와 대비도의 변화에 따른 개인차를 알아보았다. 방법: 전체 69안을 대상으로 소수시력 각 단계별로 10단계의 다른 대비도로 구성된 시표를 사용하였다. 대상자들의 굴절이상을 완전교정한 후 눈 앞에 +0.25 D씩 순차적으로 증가시켜 망막흐림을 유발한 다음 각 시표에 대한 단안시력과 인식대비도를 측정하였다. 결과: 유발된 망막상의 흐림이 증가됨에 따라 시력은 점차적으로 감소되었다. +0.25 D 부가하여 유발된 망막흐림에서 시력저하의 개인차는 1.2~0.6의 범위로 나타났다. +0.50 D와 +0.75 D 부가되었을 경우 각각 1.0~0.3과 0.9~0.1 범위의 개인차를 보였다. +1.00 D가 부가되었을 때 일부 0.1 시표를 인식하지 못하는 대상안이 나타났고, +1.75 D 부가된 경우 모든 대상안들이 0.1 시표를 인식하지 못하였다. 그리고 망막흐림의 정도가 증가할수록 인식 대비도는 점진적으로 감소하였다. 결론: 최종적인 굴절이상 교정값을 결정할 때 잔여굴절이상의 정도에 따른 시력감소의 개인차를 고려해야 할 것이다.

In this paper the optimized overlap driving scheme for improving the reduction problem of the operating voltage range occured by the overlap driving scheme proposed precedently and increasing the contrast ratio of screen image in the simple matrix LCDs is proposed. The characteristic estimation of the proposed method was performed in a condition that the number of scan electrodes was 120 and the threshold voltage of LC pixel was 2V and the overlap rate of scan signal was varied from 0% to 40% . As a result of estimation compared with the overlap driving scheme proposed precedently, this new method was certified as a method which it could increase the operating voltage range of the LC pixel by 16% in 20% overlap condition and it's operating voltage range was also increased very much with the increase of the overlap rate. Consequently this newly proposed method was certified as a method which it could maintain the improvement effect of the operating characteristics obtained by the overlap driving scheme proposed precedently with the big improvement in the contrast ratio of screen image.

Polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films were prepared by the phase separation method using the liquid crystal (E7) and prepolymers. This work investigated the electro-optical characteristics of various PDLC films. In order to have good contrast ratio, the polymer refractive index must be adjusted to the ordinary refractive index of the liquid crystal. The driving voltage of PDLC films were mainly affected by elastic deformation. E7-Ebecryl810-IOA-TMPTA-HMPPO system had good threshold voltage and driving voltage and E7-Ebecryl810-EHA-PEGDA-HMPPO system had good contrast ratio.

When viewing images, the relative luminance of the surround has a profound impact on the apparent contrast of the image. The dark surround causes the image elements to appear lighter than those viewed in an illuminated surround. For this reason, it is worthwhile to briefly review the general results of brightness sealing under a various viewing condition. Two of the most often cited parers on the topic of brightness scaling are Stevens-stevens and Bartleson-Breneman's function. There are, however, significant differences between the perceptual functions for simple-field and complex-field viewing. In this paper, we research the relationship between Steven's power law and Bartleson-Breneman's function. We present an appropriate brightness perception function due to TV system viewing conditions. Highlight luminance peak and absolute brightness threshold value in various adaptation levels are obtained from the proposed brightness function . Also, the luminance value of black level to produce the same contrast ratio with variety of display highlight luminance peak is obtained from the proposed brightness function.

In this paper, to overcome the failure of binarization for the characters suffered from low contrast and non-uniform illumination in license plate character recognition system, we improved the binarization method by combining local thresholding with global thresholding and edge detection. Firstly, apply the local thresholding method to locate the characters in the license plate image and then get the threshold value for the character based on edge detector. This method solves the problem of local low contrast and non-uniform illumination. Finally, back-propagation Neural Network is selected as a powerful tool to perform the recognition process. The results of the experiments i1lustrate that the proposed binarization method works well and the selected classifier saves the processing time. Besides, the character recognition system performed better recognition accuracy 95.7%, and the recognition speed is controlled within 0.3 seconds.

In this paepr, a new image segmentation method reducing efficiently contour information causing bottleneck problem at segmentatio-based very low bit rate codingis proposed, while preserving objective and subjective quality. It consists of 4-level hierarchical image segmentation based on mathematical morphology and 1-leve region merging structure using contast of two adjacent regions. For two adjacent region pairs at the fourth level included in each region of the thid level, contrast is calculated. Among the pairs of two adjacent regions with less value than threshold, two adjacent regions having the minimum contrast are merged first. After region merging, texture of the merged region is updated. The procedure is performed recursively for all the adjacent region pairs at the fourth level included in each region of the third level. Compared with the previous method, the objective and subjective image qualities are similar. But it reduces 46.65% texture information on the average by decreasing total region number to be tansmitted. Specially, it shows reduction of the 23.95% contour information of the average. Thus, it can improve efficiently the bottleneck problem at segementation-based very low bit rate coding.

In existing method, the threshold has determined the points to be used in extrapolation and only pre-peak points were used to find t0. However, to reduce error in using this fitting method, in this study, finding t0is considered the correlation between fitting result and each profile in using iteration method. And the proposed method is compared with the existing method.

Purpose: We performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in mild to moderate myopia patients to evaluate the benefit of taking a nutrient supplement containing anthocyanoside oligomers for improving nocturnal visiual function and/or clinical symptoms. Methods: The subjects included have refractive error between -lD(Diopters) $\~$-8D in both eyes, symptoms of decreased night vision and asthenopia based on the scoring result of a pre-structured questionnaire, and abnormal results of mesopic contrast sensitivity(MCS) screening test showing abnormal curve of contrast sensitivity in the middle and high frequency level, between 6.0 and 30.0 CPD(Cycles per degree) at mesopic condition(-2$\~$0 log cd/$m^2$). Total 60 people who qualified the criteria above were enrolled and the subjects were instructed to take the investigational product (anthocyanoside or placebo) twice daily for a 4 week period. The enrolled subjects were investigated for nocturnal vision performance by MCS and clinical symptoms at their first visit and re-evaluated at post-intervention (4 weeks later). MCS was measured and improvement of contrast threshold level according to each CPD was calculated by subtracting initial values from final values. Age, refractive error, and MCS were compared between the placebo and anthocyanoside. Results: After 4 weeks of drug administration 22 of the anthocyanoside group showed symptom improvement compared to 1 of the placebo group (p=0.000). Contrast sensitivity levels according to each CPD before and after drug treatment showed significant improvement in the anthocyanoside group but not in the placebo group. Mean MCS change of anthocyanoside group is 2.41$\pm$1.91 which showed significant improvement compared to -0.40$\pm$2.47 of the placebo group(p=0.000). MCS changes of anthocyanoside group showed significant improvement compared to placebo group in all levels of CPD(p<0.05). During our investigation none of the subjects complained of specific side effects related to anthocyanoside use. Conclusion: Our results show that under careful selection of people with significant symptoms and definite MCS abnormalities, anthocyanoside oligomers may improve the subjective symptoms and objective MCS results.

복잡한 암호학적 연산 없이 인간의 시각만으로 비밀정보를 직접 복원할 수 있는 시각암호는 영상형태의 비밀 정보를 n개의 랜덤한 영상(슬라이드)으로 분산시킬 때, 화소가 확장되면서 영상의 크기가 커지고 휘도가 떨어지는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 화장 화소의 수를 줄이고 휘도를 개선시키는 연구가 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 n개의 슬라이드 중 k개를 겹치면 비밀정보를 복원할 수 있는 (k, n) 시각암호론 위하여 누적행렬에 따라 기저행렬을 생성하는 새로운 구성법을 제안한다. k가 홀수일 때 그 구성이 완전하며, k가 짝수일 때는 복수의 휘도를 허용함으로서 특별한 쌍의 최대 휘도를 높일 수 있는 방식이다. 제안 방식은 기존방식 중에서 최량의 휘도를 달성하는 Droste방식에 비하여 간단한 구성이면서 평균 휘도가 개선됨을 보인다. 또한, 일반 접근구조를 위한 기저행렬의 구성이 가능함을 보인다.

본 논문에서는 영역 기반 부호화를 위해 수리형태학 연산자를 이용한 영역 분할 알고리즘을 제안한다. 수리형태학을 이용한 영상 분할은 단순화, 마커 추출, 영역 결정의 세 단계로 구성된다. 단순화 단계는 분할을 용이하게 하기 위하여 영상의 복잡한 부분들을 제거하는 단계이고, 마커 추출단계는 단순화 과정을 거친 영상으로부터 각 영역의 초기 기준 영역을 찾는 과정이다. 영역 결정단계는 추출된 마커로부터 각 영역의 경계를 결정하는 단계이다. 단순화를 위해 기존 평탄면 필터를 효과적으로 개선한 크기와 대조를 고려한 효과적인 Connected Operator를 사용한다. 마커 추출 과정에서 원영상으로 복원된 영역은 제외시키고 나머지 부분에서 크기와 대조가 일정값 이상인 영역을 마커로 결정한다. 생성된 모든 마커와 Hierarchical Watershed algorithm을 이용하여 초기 영상 분할을 하고 영역 병합과정에서는 영역 수에 대한 화질의 저하를 최소로 하는 영역 병합 알고리즘을 제안한다. 동시에, 시각적 특성을 고려하여 일정 대조 이상인 영역 쌍은 병합에서 제외시킨다. 실험 결과에서 제안된 마커 추출 방법이 화질을 많이 저하시키지 않는 범위 내에서 적은 수의 마커를 추출하며, 영역 병합과정을 통해 많은 불필요한 영역들을 병합할 수 있음을 보인다.
