In this paper, a HDR algorithm for a single image is proposed using the exposure fusion, that adaptively calculates gamma correction coefficients according to the image distribution. Since typical HDR methods should use at least three images with different exposure values at the same scene, the main problem was that they could not be applied at the single shot image. Thus, HDR enhancements based on a single image using tone mapping and histogram modifications were recently presented, but these created some location-specific noises due to improper corrections. Therefore, the proposed algorithm calculates proper gamma coefficients according to the distribution of the input image and generates different exposure images which are corrected by the dark and the bright region stretching. A HDR image reproduction controlling exposure fusion weights among the gamma corrected and the original pixels is presented. As the result, the proposed algorithm can reduce certain noises at both the flat and the edge areas and obtain subjectively superior image quality to that of conventional methods.

노출 합성은 두 장 이상의 서로 다른 노출 값을 갖는 좁은 동적 영역 영상을 합쳐 한 장의 넓은 동적 영역을 갖는 결과 영상을 생성하는 알고리듬이다. 본 논문은 블록기반의 지역적 특성을 고려한 노출 조정 기법과 개선된 채도 특성 요소를 이용해 가중치 맵을 생성하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안하는 노출 조정 기법은 인간시각체계의 특성을 고려하여 입력 영상의 노출 값을 보정함으로써 노출 합성 결과 영상 내의 세밀한 부분을 효과적으로 보존한다. 개선된 채도 영상은 입력 영상 내의 포화 영역을 효과적으로 반영한 가중치맵을 생성한다. 본 논문은 기존의 대표적인 노출 합성 알고리듬과의 주관적 화질과 MEF-SSIM, 수행 시간 비교를 통해 제안하는 알고리듬의 우수성을 입증하였다.

Because of the dynamic range limitation of digital equipment, it is impossible to obtain dark and bright areas at the same time with one shot. In order to solve this problem, an exposure fusion technique for fusing a plurality of images photographed at different exposure amounts into one is being studied. Among them, Laplacian pyramid decomposition based fusion method can generate natural HDR image by fusing images of various scales. But this requires a lot of computation time. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an approximation technique that achieves similar performance and greatly shortens computation time. The concept of vanishing point image for approximation is introduced, and the validity of the proposed approach is verified by comparing the computation time with the resultant image.

HDR(high dynamic range) 영상 생성은 실세계의 고명암비 영상을 재현하는 방법이다. Exposure fusion은 여러 HDR 영상 생성방법 중 한 가지로 true-HDR 영상을 생성하지 않고, 바로 pseudo-HDR 영상을 생성하는 방법이다. 그러나 노출이 다른 여러 입력영상들 중에서 이동하는 물체가 존재하면 잔상 효과가 발생하여 pseudo-HDR 영상의 화질 열화를 가져온다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 시간 영역에서 일치성 평가를 통한 무 잔상 exposure fusion을 제안하였다. 먼저 다중 역치 및 밝기를 이용한 비트맵과 색도 일관성 맵을 이용하여 각 입력 영상들간의 일치성을 평가하였고, 이를 시간 영역 가중치 맵으로 나타내었다. 그리고 기존 exposure fusion에서의 공간 영역 가중치 맵과 결합하여 최종 가중치 맵을 생성하였다. 마지막으로 각각 입력 영상에 최종 가중치 맵을 적용한 후, 합성하여 잔상이 제거된 pseudo-HDR 영상을 생성하였다. 실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 pseudo-HDR이 기존의 방법보다 잔상이 더 많이 제거되어 화질이 개선됨을 확인하였고, 객관적인 평가 방법인 기준 영상 대비 오차도 더 적게 나타남을 확인하였다.

This study was conducted to develop a simple and efficient technique for fusing 2-cell mouse embryos to obtain tertraploid embryos. Various concentration of PEG and exposure times were compared in order to determine the best condition for fusion and subsequent of fused embryos. The results obtained were follows ; 1. The incidence of fusion induction treated with 40% PEG(70.8%) and 45%(62.7%) for 60 sec. exposure were higher than those of 40% and 45% PEG for 30 sec., 90 sec., or 120 sec. exposure group. Also, the highest incidence of fusion induction(76.9%) was achieved with 120 sec. exposure at 50% PEG concentration. 2. Fused embryos after PEG treatment were cleavaged 2-to 4-cell, 8-cell, morula and blastocyst at 20-24 hr., 30-34., 44-52 hr., respectively, and were not different from those obtained fleshly. 3. The high proportions of the embryos developed to blastocysts after blastomere fusion with 40% PEG for 60 sec., 45% PEG for 60 sec. and 50% for 120 sec. were 66.7%(42/63), 69.0%(29/42) and 32.0%(16/50), respectively, this trend indicated that the fusion rate was similar to the incidence of fused embryos forming blastocysts. 4. The cell number of blastocyst developed from fused embryos(18.7 2.6) was samller than that of untreated embryos(48.9 1.69)

This paper presents a light exposure correction algorithm for less pleasant images, acquired with a light metering failure. Since conventional tone mapping and gamma correction methods adopt a function mapping with the same range of input and output, the results are pleasurable for almost symmetric distributions to their intensity average. However, their corrections gave insufficient outputs for asymmetric cases at either bright or dark regions. Also, histogram modification approaches show good results on varied pattern images, but these generate unintentional noises at flat regions because of the compulsive shift of the intensity distribution. Therefore, in order to sufficient corrections for both bright and dark areas, the proposed algorithm calculates the gamma coefficients using primary parameters extracted from the global distribution. And the fusion weights are adaptively determined with complementary parameters, considering the classification information of a binary segmentation. As the result, the proposed algorithm can obtain a good output about both the symmetric and the asymmetric distribution images even with severe exposure values.

Pyramid fusion usually adjusts the Laplacian weights of pixels of the input images by evaluating predefined criteria. This has advantages that it can selectively express intense color and enhance the contrast when applied to HDR exposure fusion. But it may cause noise because the weights are determined by pixel importance without considering the interdependent pixel relationship that constitutes a scene. This paper proposes a fusion method using simple weight criteria generated from the gray pixel values, which is expected to preserve the interdependent relationship and improve execution speed. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method we examine a homogeneity measure, H and compare the execution time for both methods. The proposed method is found to be more advantageous with respect to homogeneity and execution speed.

This paper presents a dual exposure fusion method for image enhancement. Images taken with a short exposure time usually contain a sharp structure, but they are dark and are prone to be contaminated by noise. In contrast, long-exposure images are bright and noise-free, but usually suffer from blurring artifacts. Thus, we fuse the dual exposures to generate an enhanced image that is well-exposed, noise-free, and blur-free. To this end, we present a new scale-space patch-match method to find correspondences between the short and long exposures so that proper color components can be combined within a proposed dual non-local (DNL) means framework. We also present a residual filtering method that eliminates the structure component in the estimated noise image in order to obtain a sharper and further enhanced image. To this end, the entropy is utilized to determine the proper size of the filtering window. Experimental results show that our method generates ghost-free, noise-free, and blur-free enhanced images from the short and long exposure pairs for various dynamic scenes.

Teh baculovirus gp64 glycoprotein is a major component of the envelope of budded virus (BV) and has been shown that it plays an essential role in the infection process, especially virus-cell membrane fusion. We have cloned Autographa californica Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (AcNPV) gp64 protein were examined for membrane fusion activity by using a synchtium formation assay under various conditions. The optimal conditions required for inducing membrane fusion are 1) form pH 4.0 to 4.8 2) 15 min exposure of cells to acidic pH 3) at least 1 .mu.g of gp64 cloned plasmid DNA per 3 * 10$^{6}$ cells 4) and an exposure of cells to acidic pH at 72 h post-transfection. In order to investigate the role of hydrophobicity of the gp64 glycoprotein for the membrane fusion, the two leucine residues (amino acid position at 229 and 230) within hydrophobic region I were substituted to alanine by PCR-derived site-directed mutagenisis and the membrane fusion activity of the mutant was anlaysed. The gp64 glycoprotein carrying double alamine substitution mutation showed no significant difference in fusion activity. This result suggested that minor changes in hydrophobicity at the amino acid position 229 and 230 does not affect the acid-induced membrane fusion activity of the gp64 glycoprotein.

본 논문은 배너광고에 대한 노출과 click이 상표태도와 구매의도 변화에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 배너광고에 대한 단순한 노출은 초기 상표태도와 구매의도를 변화시키지 못하는 것을 발견하였다. 반면에 배너광고를 click함으로써 발생하는 자주적 노출은 배너광고와 연결된 목표광고의 호감도에 따라 긍정적 혹은 부정적인 상표태도와 구매의도 변화를 유발하는 것을 발견하였다. 본 연구는 사전, 사후 테스트 통제집단 실험설계를 사용하였다.
