Photoconductive target was fabricated to make vidicon available. In order for a vidicon to operate well, it is essential that the target have high photosensitivity, low image lag, and high resolution. In the vidicon mode analysis, photosensitivity of 0.8, image lag of 30%, resolution of 300 TV lines, and the S/N ratio of 30 dB at 10 lux illumination were measured.

Photon mapping is an efficient global illumination technique for realistic image synthesis that has been developed in computer graphics. In this paper, an adaptive photon mapping in the use of automatic differentiation is proposed. Since the automatic differentiation is used when photons emit from the light sources through the scene, we can check the variation of surrounding shape. Therefore, we can decrease the number of photons and generate an image in relatively low computational cost.

For depth extraction from the focus and recovery the shape, determination of criterion function for focus measure and size of the criterion window are very important. However, Texture, illumination, and magnification have an effect on focus measure. For that reason, depth map has a partial high and low peak. In this paper, we propose a depth extraction method from focused images using the error interpolation. This method is modified the error depth into mean value between two normal depth in order to improve the depth map.

This paper describes a method of performance enhancement using Flatness Mesure(FM) for the Gaussian Mixture Model(GMM) face recognition systems. Using this measure we discard the frames having low information before training and test. As the result, the performance increases about 9％ in the lower mixtures and calculation burden is decreased. As well, the recognition error rate is decreased under the illumination change surroundings. We use the 2D DCT coefficients lot face feature vectors and experiments are carried out on the Olivetti Research Laboratory (ORL) face database.

We propose a novel high dynamic range (HDR) video synthesis algorithm using alternatively exposed low dynamic range (LDR) videos. We first develop a superpixel-based illumination invariant correspondence estimation algorithm. Then, we propose a reliability weight to further improve the quality of the synthesized HDR frame. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm provides high-quality HDR frames compared to conventional algorithms.

In this paper, it is confirmed that the metrics used to evaluate image quality can be applied to low-light images. Due to the nature of low-illumination images, factors related to light create various noise patterns, and the smaller the amount of light, the more severe the noise. Therefore, in situations where it is difficult to obtain a clean image without noise, the quality of a low-illuminance image from which noise has been removed is often judged by the human eye. In this paper, noise in low-illuminance images for which ground truth cannot be obtained is removed using Noise2Noise, and spatial resolution and radial resolution are evaluated using ISO 12233 charts and colorchecker as metrics such as MTF and SNR. It can be shown that the quality of the low-illuminance image, which has been evaluated mainly for qualitative evaluation, can also be evaluated quantitatively.

In this paper, we present a vision algorithm and method for input image improvement and preprocessing of dented and raised characters on the sidewall of tires. we define optical condition between reflect coefficient and reflectance by the physical vector calculate. On the contrary this work will recognize the engraved characters using the computer vision technique. Tire input images have all most same grey levels between the characters and backgrounds. The reflectance is little from a tire surface. therefore, it's very difficult segment the characters from the background. Moreover, one side of the character string is raised and the other is dented. So, the captured images are varied with the angle of camera and illumination. For optimum input images, the angle between camera and illumination was found out to be with in 90。 .In addition, We used complex filtering with low-pass and high-pass band filters to improve input images, for clear input images. Finally we define equation reflect coefficient and reflectance. By doing this, we obtained good images of tires for pattern recognition.

A developed skill of an intelligent CCTV is also advancing by using its Image Acquisition Device. In this field, area for technique can be divided into Foreground Subtraction which detects individuals and objects in a potential observing area and a tracing technology which figures out moving route of individuals and objects. In this thesis, an improved algorism for a settled engine development, which is stable to change in both noise and illumination for detecting moving objects is suggested. The proposed algorism from this thesis is focused on designing a stable and real time processing method which is perfect model in detecting individuals, animals, and also low-speeding transports and catching a change in an illumination and noise.

In this thesis we designed the vision system to inspect the defect of a back light unit of plat panel display device. The vision system is divided into hardware and inspection algorithm of defect. Hardware components consist of illumination part, robot-arm controller part and image-acquisition part. Illumination part is made of acrylic panel for light diffusion and five 36W FPL's(Fluorescent Parallel Lamp) and electronic ballast with low frequency harmonics. The CCD(Charge-Coupled Device) camera of image-acquisition part is able to acquire the bright image by the light coming from lamp. The image-acquisition part is composed of CCD camera and frame grabber. The robot-arm controller part has a role to let the CCD camera move to the desired position. To take inspections of surface images of a flat panel display it can be controlled and located every nook and comer. Images obtained by robot-arm and image-acquisition board are saved on the hard-disk through windows programming and are tested whether there are defects by using the image processing algorithms.

At present, indoor optical wireless communications using LED lightings has been widely studied. The combination of this technology to the low voltage powerline grid installed in each home makes an efficient method for fulfilling the premise of broadband access for home networking. In this paper, white LEDs were used for both illumination and remote-control, so that information can be broadcast within a room for control the optical wireless systems. We implemented a model car to evaluate the performance of optical wireless remote-control. The requirement for levels of illumination suitable for communication were investigated and applied to design the test-bed. In spite of limitation of line-of-sight communications, it will open up new applications to the optical wireless remote control system in an electromagnetic interference region.
