In this paper, the inter- and intra-frame distortions in the gray levels of a series of fluorescein ocular fundus photographs are corrected. For doing this, the background images are extracted from original images using the image blurring effect by decimation, and then shading corrected images are obtained by subtracting the background images from the original images pixel by pixel. In a series of fluorescein ocular fundus photographs, after the gray scale distoriton is corrected, the intensity volumes of dye leakage are measured and represented by a graph. These data may be useful for the prediction of prognosis and the therapeutic management.

In this paper, we propose an improved contrast control method f9r image improvement of multi-gray scale image. The proposed contrast control method can improve contrast of image by changing gradient of weight as the type of input image. In addition, the proposed method does not require field and frame memory for large amount of computed data. And, the proposed method can be easily applied to the FPD fur real-time processing because of its less hardware complexity than that of the conventional methods. Also it can flexibly control the contrast of input gray level by varying the weight values that control the contrast range. The operation and performance of the proposed controller have been verified using computer simulation.

This paper presents face features detection and a new physiological neuro-fuzzy learning method by using two-dimensional variances based on variation of gray level and by learning for a statistical distribution of the detected face features. This paper reports a method to learn by not using partial face image but using global face image. Face detection process of this method is performed by describing differences of variance change between edge region and stationary region by gray-scale variation of global face having featured regions including nose, mouse, and couple of eyes. To process the learning stage, we use the input layer obtained by statistical distribution of the featured regions for performing the new physiological neuro-fuzzy algorithm.

오늘날 CT나 MR등을 통한 의학 영상 기술과 컴퓨터 성능의 향상으로 인체 내부 장기의 영상을 비교적 용이하게 얻을 수 있으며 얻어진 영상 정보는 컴퓨터로 수치화 되므로 데이터의 조작 및 가공이 용이하다. 그러나, 이렇게 얻어진 의학 영상들은 보통 2 차원적 슬라이스 image 형태로 얻어진다. 일반적으로 슬라이스 사이의 간격은 조사량 등 여러 문제 때문에, 항상 동일한 간격을 유지하고 있지 않은 경우가 많으며 슬라이스 사이 간격이 슬라이스 내의 픽셀 간격보다 큰 경우가 대부분이다. 이러한 image로부터 3 차원적 디스플레이나, 조작, 분석을 하기 위해서는 같은 간격의 image를 얻어야 한다. 이러한 이유로 인하여 보간(Interpolation) 기법이 의학 영상 분야에서 많이 사용된다. 본 논문은 형태-기반 보간 방법을 gray-scale image 에 적용이 가능하도록 확장한 그레이 수준 형태 기반 보간 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 그리하여, 본 논문이 제안한 알고리즘을 슬라이스 간격이 큰 2차원 복부 CT 영상에 적용시켜 다른 보간 법들보다 향상된 결과를 확인할 수 있었다.

A method of individual vehicle detection using gray scale image acquired from a high position is proposed for guidance of incoming vehicles to vacant cells in a parking lot and other similar purposes. With the proposed method, each image region corresponding to a cell is fragmented according to density(gray level), and the distribution of segment area is analyzed to decide if a vehicle is present. The proposed method was tested on an actual outdoor parking lot during 2 days with different weather conditions from sunrise through sunset.

Aiming at the problem that the gradient-based edge detection operators are sensitive to the noise, causing the pseudo edges, a triqubit-state measurement-based edge detection algorithm is presented in this paper. Combing the image local and global structure information, the triqubit superposition states are used to represent the pixel features, so as to locate the image edge. Our algorithm consists of three steps. Firstly, the improved partial differential method is used to smooth the defect image. Secondly, the triqubit-state is characterized by three elements of the pixel saliency, edge statistical characteristics and gray scale contrast to achieve the defect image from the gray space to the quantum space mapping. Thirdly, the edge image is outputted according to the quantum measurement, local gradient maximization and neighborhood chain code searching. Compared with other methods, the simulation experiments indicate that our algorithm has less pseudo edges and higher edge detection accuracy.

Recently we have discovered that sediments should be separated from lithosphere, and soil should be separated from biosphere, both sediment and soil will be mixed sediments-soil-sphere (Seso-sphere), which is using particulate mechanics to be solved. Erosion and sediment both are moving by particulate matter with water or wind. But ancient sediments will be erosion same to soil. Nowadays, real soil has already reduced much more. Many places have only remained sediments that have ploughed artificial farming layer. Thus it means sediments-soil-sphere. This paper discusses sediments-soil-sphere erosion modeling. In fact sediments-soil-sphere erosion is including water erosion, wind erosion, melt-water erosion, gravitational water erosion, and mixed erosion. We have established geographical remote sensing information modeling (RSIM) for different erosion that was using remote sensing digital images with geographical ground truth water stations and meteorological observatories data by remote sensing digital images processing and geographical information system (GIS). All of those RSIM will be a geographical multidimensional gray non-linear equation using mathematics equation (non-dimension analysis) and mathematics statistics. The mixed erosion equation is more complex that is a geographical polynomial gray non-linear equation that must use time-space fuzzy condition equations to be solved. RSIM is digital image modeling that has separated physical factors and geographical parameters. There are a lot of geographical analogous criterions that are non-dimensional factor groups. The geographical RSIM could be automatic to change them analogous criterions to be fixed difference scale maps. For example, if smaller scale maps (1:1000 000) that then will be one or two analogous criterions and if larger scale map (1:10 000) that then will be four or five analogous criterions. And the geographical parameters that are including coefficient and indexes will change too with images. The geographical RSIM has higher precision more than mathematics modeling even mathematical equation or mathematical statistics modeling.

2-Diazo-1-naphthoquinone-5-sulfonyl chloride(NQD-Cl) was synthesized from sodium 2-diazo-naphthoquinone-5-sulfonate by chlorination. NQD-Cl was esterified with hydroxybenzophenones to give several 1,2-naphthoquinone-(2)-diazide-5-sulfonic acid ester derivatives(NQD-esters). We have compared benzophenone derivatives with methoxy group to benzophenone derivatives with hydroxy group. Solubility of each NQD-ester was studied. Each of NQD-esters was formulated with novolac base resin and PS plates were manufactured. Photosensitivity, bleachability, compatible exposed time and relative sensitivity were determined by UV spectrophotometry, imaged by UV lithographic techniques, and the gray scale method. According to the number of substituted NQD group, it showed that relative sensitivity was different from gray scale method. NQD-esters with methoxy group showed a good solubility and higher sensitivity than commercial PS ones.

Recently, PC monitor users have been replacing cathode ray tubes (CRT) with liquid crystal displays (LCD). But the chromaticity of the primaries are dependent on RGB input signals. And the colorimetry of LCD changes with gray scale and has a poor peformance in color reproduction. In this paper we propose the enhanced algorithm of color reproduction considering color leakage error and black subpixel error in LCD. In order to test peformance of this algorithm we use the colors of Macbeth colorcheck. As a result of experiments, it was confirmed that the color difference of the LCD using the proposed algorithm was considerably reduced.

In object analysis by image processing, finding lines plays a universal role. And these lines can be easily found by detecting ridges and valleys in digital gray scale images. In this paper, a new method of detecting ridges and valleys by using local min/max operations was presented. This method detects ridges and valleys of desired width by using erosion and dilation properties of local min/max operations, and requires no information of ridge or valley direction. Therefore the method is efficient and computationally simple in comparision with the conventional analytical method.
