  • In this paper, the rotating plate method extracting signal and reconstructing original image was proposed. The rotating methode has cell detector array each of which has used in the medical diagnosis X-ray photography. The major problem using the simple horizontal moving or non-moving methode is the size and number of detector cells which have the considerable affection on the sharpness and resolution of the reconstructed image. Secondary, the estimated pixel values of non-detected real points which are placed between detector cells will be the distorted pixels in the reconstructed image. Therefore, the proposed rotating plate method has the exact distribution on the uncertain pixels which were reconstructed by conventional methods to solve there problems. And then, the image using the rotated plate's cell out put signal was reconstructed on the computer simulation. The method will rotated the detector array plate to solve the reconstruction from the detector size and number of conventional methods. The result of simulation has estimated the original pixel position and 81 pixel/mm resolution which the reconsiderlation of the detector's moving orientation, the proposed method has 25 pixel/mm resolution. These results have been represented by 3-D computer graphics.

  • Most existing low-light enhancement algorithms either use a large number of training parameters or lack generalization to real-world scenarios. This paper presents a novel lightweight and robust pixel-wise polynomial approximation-based deep network for low-light image enhancement. For mapping the low-light image to the enhanced image, pixel-wise higher-order polynomials are employed. A deep convolution network is used to estimate the coefficients of these higher-order polynomials. The proposed network uses multiple branches to estimate pixel values based on different receptive fields. With a smaller receptive field, the first branch enhanced local features, the second and third branches focused on medium-level features, and the last branch enhanced global features. The low-light image is downsampled by the factor of 2b-1 (b is the branch number) and fed as input to each branch. After combining the outputs of each branch, the final enhanced image is obtained. A comprehensive evaluation of our proposed network on six publicly available no-reference test datasets shows that it outperforms state-of-the-art methods on both quantitative and qualitative measures.

  • This thesis studies about thinning compensation and the removal of pseudo minutiae using ridge trace. As for the process of thinning compensation, first, it removes unnecessary pixel when 8-neighbor connection sum among the pixels with the crossing count number 6 is not 3. Second, it deals with repeatedly until there is no pixel to remove while tracing the ridge, beginning with the pixel equivalent to the ridge and the pixel with the crossing count number 2 among the 8 pixels around the pixels with the crossing count number 6. When the thinning compensation is finished, it extracts substitute minutiae to use the crossing count number and the 8-neighbor connection sum. Among the extracted substitute minutiaes, it extracts the real minutiae to utilize the pseudo minutiae removal algorithm again. It compares with the existing method for the performance evaluation of proposal method. By the experimental results, The proposal method indicated that a degree of thinning is excellent and a lot of minutiaes were removed.

  • It was difficult to verify the car number or face of inspector in the closed circuit television because of low CCD pixels and low brightness of lens. So CCTV lens should have higher pixels and brightness. In this paper, the design of zoom lens for mega pixel Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) was introduced. We applied aspheric lens in order to reduce the spherical aberration and distortional aberration. And we applied focal length of 6-60mm, F number of 1.2, 3 million pixel resolution and magnifying power of 10 times. Also we applied infrared correction in order to use the CCTV camera in day and night effectively. These norms are the most powerful in CCTV zoom lens of focal length of 6-60mm. And if we apply this lens to the box style CCTV camera, we can verify the car number or face within 50m. Auto controlling system will be continued.

  • We have studied on the effect of the operation voltage according to the reverse twist for the different fringe field switching (FFS) structure. The FFS structure with a vertically patterned edge of the pixel electrode (VPP) has lower operation voltage comparing to the one with a horizontally patterned edge of the pixel electrode (HPP). The reason is like that the number of the pattern of the pixel edge for the VPP structure is one third comparing with the HPP structure and thus, there is small reverse twist area for the VPP structure. Actually, the reverse twist disturbs the twist of LC near adjacent active area, result that LCs near there have the unstable dynamics. That is, the operation voltage increases as the reverse twist area increases. Therefore, it is very important to design pixel electrode with a small reverse twist region for the FFS mode.

  • A two-dimensional lens is required to reproduce both the horizontal and vertical parallax through an autostereoscopic 3D display. Among the two-dimensional lenses, a hexagonal micro lens array (MLA) having good optical efficiency is mainly used. However, the hexagonal MLA has complex geometric features. The first feature is that the lens cells are zigzagged in the vertical direction, which should be reflected in the view number calculation for each sub-pixel. The second feature is that the four sides of a hexagonal lens cell are tilted, requiring a more careful view index assignment to the lens cell. In this paper, we propose a sub-pixel multiplexing scheme suitable for the features of the hexagonal MLA. We also propose a view-overlay algorithm based on a two-dimensional lens and compare subjective image quality with existing view-selection through autostereoscopic 3D display implementation.

  • Computed tomography, which obtains section images from reconstruction process using projection images, has been applied to various fields. The spatial resolution of the reconstructed image depends on the device used in CT system, the object, and the reconstruction process. In this paper, we investigates the effect of the number of projection images and the pixel size of the detector on the spatial resolution of the reconstructed image under the parallel beam geometry. The reconstruction program was written in Visual C++, and the matrix size of the reconstructed image was $512{\times}512$. The numerical bar phantom was constructed and the Min-Max method was introduced to evaluate the spatial resolution on the reconstructed image. When the number of projections used in reconstruction process was small, artifact like streak appeared and Min-Max was also low. The Min-Max showed upper saturation when the number of projections is increased. If the pixel size of the detector is reduced to 50% of the pixel size of the reconstructed image, the reconstructed image was perfectly recovered as the original phantom and the Min-Max decreased as increasing the detector pixel size. This study will be useful in determining the detector and the accuracy of rotation stage needed to achieve the spatial resolution required in the CT system.

  • The detector of the positron emission tomography (PET) is composed using a plurality of scintillation pixels and photo sensors. The use of multiple photo sensors increases cost and complicates signal processing. In this study, a detector with reduced cost and simple signal processing was designed using a small number of photo sensors. A scintillation pixel and a small number of photo sensors were used, and a optical guide was used to deliver light to all the photo sensors. A reflector is applied to the scintillation pixel and the optical guide to transmit the maximum amount of light to the photo sensor. A diffuse reflector and a specular reflector were used for the reflector, and a flood image was obtained by applying different thicknesses of the optical guide. An optimal combination was selected through comparative analysis of the acquired flood images. As a result, when specular reflectors were used for both the scintillation pixel and the optical guide, excellent flood images were obtained from optical guides of all thicknesses. For the optical guide, the optimal image was obtained when using a 3 mm thickness in consideration of the size of the image and the analysis of the point where the image of the scintillation pixel was formed.

  • The quantification of fish school abundance was carried out by using luminance of pixel on scanning sonar image, and compared with the indices of fish school abundance e.g. school number, school area and weighted school area. The survey was carried out in Funka Bay off southern Hokkaido, Japan using research vessel Ushio-Maru during December 1999. A 180-degree scanning sonar with a frequency of 164kHz was used. The school number was counted both left and right 40-degree radial lines from the center of own vessel mark on a scanning image. The school area was measured approximately as an ellipse from the school length and width. The weighted school area was calculated by multiplying school area and average value of inner pixel luminance. A quantification of pixel luminance was also measured to integrate squared pixel luminance value on these lines. Fish school and school bottom were discriminated by the produced sonar echogram using pixel luminance value on these lines. The relationships between the quantified luminance value and other abundance indices such as school area and weighted school area revealed a good correlation. Therefore, the quantified luminance is a useful method in estimating fish school abundance in the acoustic survey using sonar.

  • At present, monitoring programmes for green network have been mainly based on field sampling, which relies on attributes of an area at one point in time, reflecting an emphasis on the small number of in-situ data. One of the major disadvantages of traditional field monitoring is that it is costly, laborious and time consuming due to the large number of samples required. The aim of this research was to evaluate green network based on pixel of Landsat TM satellite image. An empirical study for a case study site was conducted to demonstrate how a standard remote sensing technology can be used to assist in monitoring the green network based on pixel. The pixel-based analysis made it possible to identify area-wide patterns of green network subject to many different type of artificial structures, which cannot be acquired by traditional field sampling. It was demonstrated that the degradation trends of green network could be used effectively as an indicator to restrict further development of the sites since the quantitative data generated from remote sensing can present area-wide visual evidences by permanent record. It is anticipated that this research output could be used as a valuable reference to support more scientific and objective decision-making in monitoring green network.
