현대의 레이더는 큰 클러터 환경에서 동작하기 위해 넓은 동적 영역을 요구한다. ADC(Analog-to-Digital Converter)가 발생시키는 스퓨리어스(spurious) 신호는 넓은 동적 영역을 구현하는데 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 ADC의 비선형 특성에 따른 능동 위상 배열 레이더 수신기의 이득을 분석하였다. ADC SFDR(Spurious Free Dynamic Range)은 시스템이 요구하는 동적 영역을 한정하고, 제한된 영역내에서 ADC SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio) 손실을 고려하여 ADC 동적 영역을 설정하였다. 그리고 계산된 능동 위상 배열 레이더의 안테나단 출력 잡음 전압과 ADC 입력 잡음 전압을 비교하여 수신기의 이득을 구하였다. 끝으로 응용 예제를 통한 전체적인 내용을 살펴보았다.

본 논문은 광대역 디지털 수신기의 동적 범위 개선을 위한 A/D 변환 모듈을 설계 및 제작하였다. 동적 범위 확장을 위한 A/D 변환 모듈은 입력신호 레벨에 따라 정상 경로와 증폭 경로로 신호를 분기하여 디지털 신호로 변환하는 방식이다. 제작 및 측정 결과, A/D 변환 모듈의 정상 경로는 입력 레벨 -57 dBm~-12 dBm 신호를 디지털 신호로 변환하고, 증폭 경로는 입력 레벨 -30 dBm~+12 dBm 신호를 왜곡 없이 디지털 신호로 변환하여 69 dB의 입력 동적 범위 특성을 나타내었다. 또한 순시 대역폭 100 MHz에서 일정한 출력 특성을 나타내고 있음을 확인하였다.

Lately, over 4K high definition and high dynamic range (HDR) display devices are popularized, various interpolation and HDR methods have been researched to expand the size and the dynamic range. Since most of the legacy low resolution (LR) images require both an interpolation and a HDR tone mapping methods, the two processes should be subsequently applied. Therefore, the proposed algorithm presents a HDR up-scaling algorithm using undecimated wavelet transform and Retinex method, which transfers a LR image of low dynamic range (LDR) into the high resolution (HR) with HDR. The proposed algorithm consists of an up-scaling scheme increasing the image size and a tone mapping scheme expanding the dynamic range. The up-scaling scheme uses the undecimated version of the simplest Haar wavelet analysis for the 8-directional interpolation and the change region is extracted during the analysis. This region information is utilized in controlling the surround functions' size of the proposed tone mapping using MSRCR, to enhance the pixels of around the edges that are dominant feature of the subjective image quality. As the results, the proposed algorithm can apply an up-scaling and tone mapping processes in accordance with the type of pixel.

In video camera, an automatic video quality compensation method using the dynamic range transform is proposed. The histogram is used to decide the nonuniformness of picture brightness by nonuniform lighting. The gray level is divided four regions, and the histogram is obtained per one field. We introduce a new parameter, nonuniformness, defined by the cumulative difference between its CDF and LCDF. We also propose the decision function of the dynamic range transform constant versus its nonuniformness, and compensate the quality of video automatically.

A dynamic range compression algorithm using Markov random field (MRF) modeling to display high dynamic range (HDR) images on low dynamic range (LDR) devices is proposed in this work. The proposed algorithm separates foreground objects from the background using the edge information, and then compresses the color differences across the edges based on the MRF modeling. By minimizing a cost function using belief propagation, the proposed algorithm can provide an effective LDR image. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm provides good results.

In this paper, we propose three compensation methods to solve problems in high-resolution airborne infrared camera and to improve long-range target information acquisition performance. First, image motion and temporal noise reduction technique which is caused by atmospheric turbulence. Second, thermal blurring image correction technique by imperfect performance of NUC(Non Uniformity Correction) or raising the internal temperature of the camera. Finally, DRC(Dynamic Range Compression) and flicker removing technique of 14bits HDR(High Dynamic Range) infrared image. Through this study, we designed techniques to improve the acquisition performance of long-range target information of high-resolution airborne infrared camera, and compared and analyzed the performance improvement result with implemented images.

The dynamic range of mass selected detector, which is very popular recently because of the simplicity and cheap price, was determined by using priority pollutants. The applied priority pollutants were four pesticides, 4,4'-DDE and 4,4'-DDD, which show the sharp peaks, and ${\alpha}$-endosulfan and ${\beta}$-endosulfan, which show the broad peaks in SIM Chromatogram. The dynamic range of the 4,4'-DDE and the 4,4'-DDD was $0.1{\sim}3000{\mu}g/ml$. The broad peaks of the ${\alpha}$-endosulfan and ${\beta}$-endosulfan resulted in $0.25{\sim}3000{\mu}g/ml$ of dynamic range.

An efficient algorithm to compress high dynamic range (HDR) videos is proposed in this work. We separate an HDR video sequence into a tone-mapped low dynamic range (LDR) sequence and a ratio sequence. Then, we encode those two sequences using the standard H.264/AVC codec. During the encoding, we allocate a limited amount of bit budget to the LDR sequence and the ratio sequence adaptively to maximize the qualities of both the LDR and HDR sequences. While a conventional LDR decoder uses only the LDR stream, an HDR decoder can reconstruct the HDR video using the LDR stream and the ratio stream. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides higher performance than the conventional methods.

In this paper, we fabricate arrayed-type flexible capacitive touch sensor using liquid metal (LM) droplets (4 mm spatial resolution). Poly-4-vinylphenol (PVP) layer is used as a dielectric layer on the electrode patterned Polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) film. Bonding tests between hydroxyl group (-OH) on the PVP film and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) are conducted in a various $O_2$ plasma treatment conditions. Through the tests, we can confirm that non-$O_2$ plasma treated PVP layer and $O_2$ plasma treated PDMS can make a chemical bond. To measure dynamic range of the device, one-cell experiments are conducted and we confirmed that the fabricated device has a large dynamic range (~60 pF).

In this paper, we propose an adaptive contrast enhancement method using dynamic range segmentation. Histogram Equalization (HE) method is widely used for contrast enhancement. However, histogram equalization method is not suitable for commercial display because it may cause undesirable artifacts due to the significant change in brightness. The proposed algorithm segments the dynamic range of the histogram and redistributes the pixel intensities by the segment area ratio. The proposed method may cause over compressed effect when intensity distribution of an original image is concentrated in specific narrow region. In order to overcome this problem, we introduce an adaptive scale factor. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm suppresses the significant change in brightness and provides wide histogram distribution compared with histogram equalization.
