Depth sensitivity is considered one of the factors influencing 3D displays the most. In this paper, the perceptual 3D depth was quantitatively measured to compare the depth difference among the display devices. No difference was found in the typical display performance among the devices, but the subjective evaluation of the depth sensitivity where the disparity was varied showed that the organic light emitting diode (OLED) had the highest performance, mainly due to its almost 0% crosstalk, one of the features of OLED. Crosstalk is a form of image superposition that greatly affects the depth sensitivity. The experiment results showed that the quantitative depth sensitivity varies due to geometric factors such as disparity, viewing distance, and subjective sensitivity, depending on the display image characteristics, such as crosstalk and contrast.

A variety of techniques have been proposed in the literature for depth improvement in depth from focus method. Unfortunately, these techniques over-smooth the depth maps over the regions of depth discontinuities. In this paper, we propose a robust technique for improving the depth map by employing a nonconvex smoothness function that preserves the depth edges. In addition, the proposed technique exploits the mutual structures between the depth map and a guidance map. This guidance map is designed by taking the mean of image intensities in the image sequence. The depth map is updated iteratively till the nonconvex objective function converges. Experiments performed on real complex image sequences revealed the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the needling depth of five-phase acupoints and discuss the association with the depth of meridian qi. Methods : DongUiBoGam was used to determine the depth of five-phase acupoints. The depth of needling at 60 five-phase acupoints was compared between well, spring, stream, river, and sea acupoints. Results : The proximal part of the extremities had deeper needling depth than the distal part of the extremities. The targeted deqi sensation can be related to the needling depth. Conclusions : The depth of the meridian qi is related to the distinct patterns of needling depth of five-phase acupoints.

In texture-plus-depth format, depth map compression is an important task. Different from normal texture images, depth maps have less texture information, while contain many homogeneous regions separated by sharp edges. This feature will be employed to form an efficient depth map coding scheme in this paper. Firstly, the histogram of the depth map will be analyzed to find an appropriate threshold that segments the depth map into the foreground and background regions, allowing the edge between these two kinds of regions to be obtained. Secondly, the two regions will be encoded through rate distortion optimization with a shape adaptive wavelet transform, while the edges are lossless encoded with JBIG2. Finally, a depth-updating algorithm based on the threshold and the depth range is applied to enhance the quality of the decoded depth maps. Experimental results demonstrate the effective performance on both the depth map quality and the synthesized view quality.

본 논문에서는 다시점 색상 카메라와 다시점 깊이 카메라를 이용하여 촬영한 영상의 후처리 방법과 3차원 장면의 깊이 정보를 생성하는 방법을 제안한다. 깊이 카메라는 장면의 깊이 정보를 실시간으로 측정할 수 있는 장점이 있지만, 잡음과 왜곡이 발생하고 색상 영상과의 상관도도 떨어진다. 따라서 다시점 깊이 영상에 후처리 작업을 수행한 후, 이를 다시점 색상 영상과 조합하여 3차원 깊이 정보를 생성한다. 깊이 카메라로부터 얻은 각 시점에서의 초기 변이 정보를 기반으로 한 스테레오 정합의 결과는 기존 방법의 결과 보다 우수한 성능을 나타내었음을 볼 수 있었다.

본 논문에서 RGB-Depth 카메라를 이용하여 실내에서의 연기를 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. RGB-Depth 카메라는 RGB 색영상과 깊이 정보를 제공한다. 키넥트(Kinect)는 특정한 패턴의 적외선을 출력하고 이를 적외선 카메라로 수집하고 분석하여 깊이 정보를 획득한다. 특정한 패턴을 구성하는 점들 각각에 대하여 거리를 측정하고 객체면의 깊이를 추정한다. 따라서, 이웃하는 점들의 깊이 변화가 많은 객체인 경우에는 객체면의 깊이를 결정하지 못한다. 연기의 농도가 일정 주파수로 변화하고, 적외선 영상의 이웃하는 화소간의 변화가 많기 때문에 키넥트가 깊이를 결정하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 연기에 대한 키넥트의 특성을 이용하여 연기를 검출한다. 키넥트가 깊이를 결정하지 못한 영역을 후보영역으로 설정하고, 색영상의 밝기가 임계값보다 큰 경우 연기영역으로 결정한다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션을 통하여 실내에서의 연기 검출에 RGB-Depth 카메라가 효과적임을 확인할 수 있다.

Wear model for predicting the vehaviour of a depth is considered in this paper. It is deduced from the energy and volume based wear models such as the Archard equation and the workrate model. A new parameter of the equivalent depth ($D_e$= wear volume /worn area) is considered for the wear model of a depth prediction. A concenpt of a dissipated shear energy density is accommodated for in the suggested models. It is found that $D_e$ can distinguish the worn area shape. A cubic of $D_e$($D_e^3$) gives a better linear regression with the volume than that of the maximmum depth $D_{max}e$($D_{max}^3$) does. Both $D_{max}$ and $D_e$ are used for the presently suggested depth-based wear model. As a result, a wear depth profile can be simulated by a model using $D_{max}$. Wear resistance from the concern of an overall depth can be identified by the wear coefficient of the model using $D_e$.

A novel computational integral imaging technique with enhanced depth sensitivity is proposed. For each lateral position at a given depth plane, the dissimilarity between corresponding pixels of the elemental images is measured and used as a suppressing factor for that position. The intensity values are aggregated to determine the correct depth plane of each plane object. The experimental and simulation results show that the reconstructed depth image on the incorrect depth plane is effectively suppressed, and that the depth image on the correct depth plane is reconstructed clearly without any noise. The correct depth plane is also exactly determined.

The depth effect on bending strength of Japanese larch structural lumber was investigated by using the published data of two different depth lumbers with the same length. Depth effect parameters were derived from Weibull's weakest link theory and compared to the results from other researches. Depth effect on bending strength was significant for No.1 and No.3 lumber, but not insignificant for No.2 lumber. Calculated value of the depth effect adjustment factors was 0.21, 0.11 and 0.22 by lumber grade, respectively. These results were similar to those results from previous researches and supported depth effect on bending strength of lumber. An apparent depth adjustment factor has been proposed to 0.2 in the literatures. Based on this study, depth adjustment factor was considered to 0.2 as a conservative optimum design value that should be incorporated in domestic building code (KBC) for structural lumber.

일반적으로 결정질 실리콘 태양전지에서는 junction depth가 얕아짐으로써 단파장 영역에서의 수집효율이 향상되고 Jsc가 상승하기 때문에 junction depth가 얕은 것이 좋다. 또, 태양전지의 효율을 높이기 위해서는 낮은 재결합 속도가 필요한데 이를 위해서도 얕은 junction depth가 필요하다. 하지만 junction depth가 너무 얕으면 FF와 Voc가 낮아져 효율이 떨어지므로 junction depth를 최적화 할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 PC1D 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 표면 농도를 고정시키고 junction depth를 가변하면서 이에 따른 cell의 parameter변화를 관찰하였다. 그 결과, 면저항 $120{\Omega}/{\square}$에서부터 효율이 saturation되었고, 그에 따른 parameter 값은 FF=76.28%, Jsc=$38.17mA/cm^2$, Voc=596.5V이며 junction depth가 $0.1726{\mu}m$일 때 효율은 17.37%이다.
