Microcrystalline Si (${\mu}c-Si$) TFTs were fabricated using a conventional bottom gate amorphous Si (a-Si) process. A unique ${\mu}c-Si$ deposition technique and TFT architecture was proposed to enhance the reliability of the TFTs. This three-mask TFT fabrication process is comparable with existing a-Si TFT procesess. In order to suppress nucleation at the bottom interface of Si, before deposition of the ${\mu}c-Si$ an $N_2$ plasma passivation was conducted. A typical transfer characteristic of the TFTs shows a low off-current with a value of less than 1 pA and a sub threshold slop of 0.7 V/dec. The DC stress was applied to verify the use of ${\mu}c-Si$ TFTs for AMOLED displays. After 10,000 s of application of the stress, the off-current was even lowered and sub-threshold slope variation was less than 5%. For AMOLED displays, OLED pixel simulation was performed. A pixel current of 13 ${\mu}A$ was achieved with $V_{data}$ of 10 V. After the simulation, a linear equation for the pixel current was suggested.

The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluated experimental tooth root resorption for digital radiography. For this study, experimentally three root sites were used, and radiograms were taken with standardized apparatus. Digital imaging system were consisted of NEC PC-980l(computer), TRINITRON(monitor), SONY XC-711 CCD camera. The display monitor had a resolution of 512X512 pixels. The obtained results were as follows: 1. In the difference of the four X-ray film of the contrast correction, the contrast difference was one gray scale variation at mean value. 2. Viewing of the view box of the periapical radiographs, experimental tooth root resorption of the periapical area of the first premolar, middle of mesial surface of the first molar mesial root, middle of lingual surface of the first molar distal root were recognized by increased diameter. 3. On the analysis by histogram, the periapical area of the first premolar, the middle of mesial surface of the first molar mesial root were each recognized tooth root resorption of the 5,6,7 pixel, 2,4,5 pixel by increased diameter. 4. On the analysis by histogram, the middle of lingual surface of the first molar distal root was each recognized tooth root resorption of the none, 3,6 pixel by increased diameter.

The paper presents an alternative way to classical stereocorrelation. First, 2D image processing of random patterns is described. Sub-pixel displacements are determined using phase analysis. Then distortion evaluation is presented. The distortion is identified without any assumption on the lens model because of the use of a grid technique approach. Last, shape measurement and shape variation is caught by fringe projection. Analysis is based on two pin-hole assumptions for the video-projector and the camera. Then, fringe projection is coupled to in-plane displacement to give rise to 3D measurement set-up. Metrological characterization shows a resolution comparable to classical (stereo) correlation technique ($1/100^{th}$ pixel). Spatial resolution seems to be an advantage of the method, because of the use of temporal phase stepping (shape measurement, 1 pixel) and windowed Fourier transform (in plane displacements measurement, 9 pixels). Two examples are given. First one is the study of skin properties; second one is a study on leather fabric. In both cases, results are convincing, and have been exploited to give mechanical interpretation.

A 3D model based approach for a face representation and recognition algorithm has been investigated as a robust solution for pose and illumination variation. Since a generative 3D face model consists of a large number of vertices, a 3D model based face recognition system is generally inefficient in computation time and complexity. In this paper, we propose a novel 3D face representation algorithm based on a pixel to vertex map (PVM) to optimize the number of vertices. We explore shape and texture coefficient vectors of the 3D model by fitting it to an input face using inverse compositional image alignment (ICIA) to evaluate face recognition performance. Experimental results show that the proposed face representation and recognition algorithm is efficient in computation time while maintaining reasonable accuracy.

에지검출은 영상의 특징 정보를 화소값들의 밝기 변화로 취득하는 기술이며, 여러 영상처리 분야에서 전처리 과정으로 활용되고 있다. 기존의 에지 검출 방법에는 소벨(Sobel), 프리윗(Prewitt), 로버츠(Roberts) 방법 등이 있으며, 이러한 방법들은 영상의 전체 영역에서 동일한 가중치를 적용하여 처리하므로 에지검출 결과가 다소 미흡하다. 따라서 본 논문은 변형된 방향성 마스크를 적용하여 화소들의 방향 및 크기를 고려한 에지검출 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

Current delivery system, in which the analog current produced by a unique DAC circuit is stored into a current-memory circuit and delivered in a time-divided sequence, shows variation of output current as low as 4% in a current source data-driver IC for AM-OLED driven by a current-programmed method without any fuse repairing after fabrication. This driver IC has 54 outputs and can sink constant current as low as 3 ${\mu}A$ with 6-bit analog levels. Such a low current level without variation can hardly be obtained by an ordinary MOS transistor because the current level is in the sub-threshold region and changes exponentially with threshold voltage variation. Thus we adopted a current mirror circuit composed of bipolar transistors to supply well-controlled current within a nano-ampere range.

As infrared light radiates, the CMOS Readout IC (ROIC) for the microbolometer typed infrared sensor detects voltage or current which is caused by the variation of resistance in the bolometer sensor. A serious problem we may have in designing the ROIC is the value of bolometer and reference resistors will be changed due to process variation. Since each pixel does not have the same value of resistance, fixed pattern noise problems happen during the sensor operations. In this paper, we propose a novel technique to compensate the fluctuation of reference resistance with taking account of process variation. By using a comparator and a cross coupled latch, we will make the value of reference resistor same as the bolometer's.

본 연구를 통해서 대 면적, 고 휘도 AMOLED 응용에 적합한 화소 회로와 이에 대한 구동 방식을 제안하였다. 균일도는 다소 떨어지지만 안정성이 뛰어난 저온 다결정 실리론(LTPS) 박막 트랜지스터(TFT)를 기반으로 설계했다. 영상 화소의 균일도를 향상시키기 위해, 화소 TFT의 $V_{TH}$와 이동도 편차를 함께 보상할 수 있도록 했다. 기존의 이동도 보상 회로가 갖는 문제점을 극복하여 대 면적 패널에 적합하도록 했고, 동영상 특성을 개선하기 위해 black data insertion 방식을 도입하였다. 이동도 보상 시 휘도가 떨어지는 문제를 개선하기 위해, 패널이 두 가지 보상 모드에서 동작할 수 있도록 하였다. 화소 회로를 제어하기 위한 스캔 구동 회로를 최적화하여, 이를 통해서 보정 모드를 쉽게 제어할 수 있었다. 최종 구동 타이밍은 여유 있는 마진으로 안정적인 동작이 가능하다. 14.1" WXGA top emission AMOLED 패널에 대해 설계했으며, 이동도 보상 시간을 1us로 했을 때 패널의 불균일도는 5% 이하로 예측되었다.

본 논문에서는 효과적인 무손실 영상압축을 위한 방향성 기반 적응적 예측방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 예측방법은 작은 변화에 민감한 픽셀단위가 아닌 지원영역(support region) 단위로 방향성 및 부호화 픽셀이 속한 영역의 특성을 판단하여 강인한 예측이 이루어지도록 한다. 예측픽셀은 부호화 픽셀과 주변 픽셀에 대한 지원영역 사이의 유사도에 따라 적응적으로 선택함으로써 예측성능을 효과적으로 높인다. 기존의 MED, GAP 및 EDP와 같은 예측방법과 비교하여 제안한 방향성 기반 적응적 예측방법은 예측에러에 대한 엔트로피 측면에서 우수한 예측성능을 나타내고, 복잡도 측면에서도 가장 간단한 MED와 비교해 큰 차이가 없음을 다양한 실험을 통해 보인다.
