  • In this paper, a motion detection algorithm which works well in low illumination environment is proposed. By using the level set based bimodal motion segmentation, the algorithm obtains an automatic segmentation of the motion region and the spurious regions due to the large CCD noise in low illumination environment are removed effectively.

  • Platforms of many railroad stations are crowded with passengers regardless of the time throughout day. But the intensity of illumination of the existing lightening systems are so low enough to make passengers feel inconvenience in using platforms. Consequently there exists high possibility of accidents in platforms of low illumination. Hence, for the safety and convenience of passengers, it is necessary to improve the luminous intensity of lightening system for platforms. This paper points out the problems of existing system and presents the method to improve it.

  • 목적: 본 연구는 낮은 조도에서 1시간 동안 스마트폰을 시청 한 이후 시력변화와 NIBUT를 비교하였다. 방법: 20대(평균나이 $20.7{\pm}2.4$세)의 안질환이 없고 건강한 눈을 가진 50명(남자 22명, 여자 28명)을 대상으로 실험을 하였다. 낮은 조도(0 lx)에서 스마트폰(Galaxy 2, Samsung, KOREA)을 시청 전과 한 시간 시청 후의 타각적 굴절이상도 검사, 원거리 교정 시력과 NIBUT를 측정하였다. 타각적 측정은 Auto-chart Project(CP-1000, Dongyang, Korea), Phoropter(VT-20, Dongyang, Korea), Auto refractor-keratometer(MRK-3100, Huvitz, Korea)를 이용하였다. 결과: 낮은 조도에서 스마트폰을 시청하기 전과 한 시간 시청 후의 굴절이상도의 변화는 $-3.20{\pm}2.00$ D에서 $-3.38{\pm}2.00$ D로 변화했고(p=0.006), 원거리 교정시력의 변화는 $0.93{\pm}0.08$에서 $0.91{\pm}0.10$으로 변화했으며(p=0.000), NIBUT의 변화는 $10.48{\pm}7.00$ 초에서 $10.29{\pm}6.47$ 초로 변화했다(p=0.761). 결론: 낮은 조도에서 스마트폰을 지속적으로 시청하는 것은 일시적인 원거리 시력의 변화를 초래하였고, 적절한 휴식은 원거리 시력과 눈물 안정성에 미치는 영향을 줄여줄 것으로 사료된다.

  • Solution-processed amorphous metal-oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) are considered as promising candidates for the upcoming transparent and flexible electronics due to their transparent property, good performance uniformity and possibility to fabricate at a low-temperature. In addition, solution processing metal oxide TFTs may allow non-vacuum fabrication of flexible electronic which can be more utilizable for easy and low-cost fabrication. Recently, for high-mobility oxide TFTs, multi-layered oxide channel devices have been introduced such as superlattice channel structure and heterojunction structure. However, only a few studies have been mentioned on the bias illumination stress in the multi- layered oxide TFTs. Therefore, in this research, we investigated the effects of bias illumination stress in solution-processed bilayer oxide TFTs which are fabricated by the deep ultraviolet photochemical activation process. For studying the electrical and stability characteristics, we implemented positive bias stress (PBS) and negative bias illumination stress (NBIS). Also, we studied the electrical properties such as field-effect mobility, threshold voltage ($V_T$) and subthreshold slop (SS) to understand effects of the bilayer channel structure.

  • As cameras have become primary sensors for mobile robots, vision based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) has achieved impressive results with the recent development of computer vision and deep learning. However, vision information has a disadvantage in that a lot of information disappears in a low-light environment. To overcome the problem, we propose an image enhancement method to perform visual SLAM in a low-light environment. Using the deep generative adversarial models and modified gamma correction, the quality of low-light images were improved. The proposed method is less sharp than the existing method, but it can be applied to ORB-SLAM in real time by dramatically reducing the amount of computation. The experimental results were able to prove the validity of the proposed method by applying to public Dataset TUM and VIVID++.

  • In this study, we utilized the duty factor of the transition frequency modulation (TFM) for the illumination control of the light emitting diode (LED) light in visible light communication (VLC). The average optical power is linearly proportional to the duty factor in TFM waveforms. We used the transition frequencies of Na=5 and Nb=1 for the high and the low bits, respectively, of the non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data in the VLC transmitter. A resistor and capacitor high-pass filter (HPF) was used in the VLC receiver to eliminate the 120 Hz optical noise from adjacent lighting lamps and the spikes at the HPF output were used to recover NRZ data from the TFM waveform. In experiments, the illumination of the LED light was controlled in the range of 25-90% of the constant-wave optical power by changing the duty factor of the TFM waveforms.

  • In this study, we present a denoising algorithm for high-frame-rate videos in an ultra-low illumination environment on the basis of Kalman filtering model and a new motion segmentation scheme. The Kalman filter removes temporal noise from signals by propagating error covariance statistics. Regarded as the process noise for imaging, motion is important in Kalman filtering. We propose a new motion estimation scheme that is suitable for serious noise. This scheme employs the small motion vector characteristic of high-frame-rate videos. Small changing patches are intentionally neglected because distinguishing details from large-scale noise is difficult and unimportant. Finally, a spatial bilateral filter is used to improve denoising capability in the motion area. Experiments are performed on videos with both synthetic and real noises. Results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in both peak signal-to-noise ratio objective evaluation and visual quality.

  • The seedling height, leaf width and leaf length of pepper increased in plants grown from seeds irradiated with the low dose of 4 Gy. The $O_2$ evolution in the 4 Gy irradiation group was 1.5 times greater than the control. Pmax was decreased with increasing illumination time by 20% in the control, while hardly decreased in the 4 Gy irradiation group. Fv/Fm was decreased with increasing illumination time by 50% after 4 hours, while Fv/Fm in the 4 Gy irradiation group was decreased by 37% of inhibition, indicating that the low dose $\gamma$ radiation increased resistance of plants to photoinhibition.
