In TFT-LCDs, as the display size area becomes larger, and the resolution higher, we have to consider the image degradation effects due to the incorporation of the TFT-LCD parameters such as the data-line resistance, the common electrode resistance, the data-line to common parasitic capacitance, and the output characteristics of driver ICs. One of the degradation effects is crosstalk resulting from the coupling between the source bus-line and common electrode. Since a source signal which represents a large number of display data is supposed to vary frequently, the common signal level is affected through the coupling effect, resulting in the degradation of nearby pixel drive signals. Therefore, we proposed a method to compensate for this source-common electrode coupling effect, we also designed and experimented the feasibility of our crosstalk compensation circuit in the actual TFT-LCD. We saw that the newly designed compensation circuit greatly reduced the crosstalk in display pattern image.

This paper is the study about the improvement of the WPTA4 algorithm available for the recognition of various characters. The WPTA4 algorithm can extract the skeleton of a character almost similar to the original pattern by using the connection value representing connectivity of each pixel. In this paper we show that the skeleton disappearance phenomena existing in the WPTA4 and propose an modified algorithm which can eliminate this phenomena. The proposed algorithm shows that the skeleton disappearance phenomena is eliminated and the quality of extracted skeleton is excellent.

카메라 캘리브레이션은 다시점 카메라 시스템에서 내부와 외부 인자로 이루어진 카메라 파라미터를 획득하는 과정을 의미 한다. 이는 3차원으로 표현되는 장면과 카메라간의 구조를 다루기 위해 중요하다. 그러나 카메라 캘리브레이션은 사람이 직접 손으로 각 영상에서 사각형의 네 점을 정확히 찍어 주어야 하는 과정 때문에 카메라의 수와 패턴 영상의 수가 늘어남에 따라 상당히 번거로운 작업이 된다. 본 논문에서는 카메라 캘리브레이션 과정에서 손으로 수행하는 작업을 줄이기 위해 자동으로 패턴 특징점을 탐색하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 먼저 영상에서 패턴 특징점의 후보를 찾기 위해 해리스 코너 검출 방법을 사용한다. 그리고 후보 주변의 원형 샘플 화소를 이용하여 유효한 패턴 특징점을 추출한다. 실험 결과는 Matlab 캘리브레이션 툴박스를 이용하여 획득한 카메라 파라미터와 비교해 보았을 때 큰 차이가 없지만 수작업의 번거로움을 상당히 감소시켰음을 확인하였다.

A pattern recognition system is proposed to recognize characters in any type of Giro. The system consist of the character segmentation and the character recognition. Positional features from two round markers at the upper-right part and lower-left part of Giro is used for extracting character strings from images and RLE analysis is used if there are no round markers. A multi step combined method, which use a structural method and a statistical method, is used to improve recognition. The structural method apply rules on each characters, whereas a statistical method gives a different weighting vector to each pixel for improving the classification performance in regard to noises and distortions. The experimental results show that the proposed combined method has higher recognition rate, over than 98% even in cases that images are rotated about 10 degrees as well as have noises.

Inkjet printing is a typical printing technology with many advantages, such as material cost reduction, noncontact pattern formation without a mask, and process simplification. With the recent and rapid development of ink materials, parts and equipment, and process technologies related to inkjet printing, it is becoming a major process in various areas of the display industry. In particular, for the QD-OLED (quantum dot-organic light-emitting diode) display announced by Samsung Display in 2022, quantum dot pixel production by applying inkjet printing is a key technology. We analyze inkjet printing technology for mass production applied to the display industry and discuss the technology development trends in academia and industry toward the realization of next-generation displays.

In general video coding systems, motion estimation (ME) is regarded as a vital component in a video coder as it consumes a large amount of computation resources. Fractional pixel motion estimation can improve the video compression rate at the cost of higher computational complexity. It is based on the experimental results that the sum of absolute differences (SAD) shows parabolic shape and thus can be approximated by using interpolation technique. In this paper, we propose a fast fractional pixel search algorithm by combining SASR (Simplified Adaptive Search Range) and the CBCDS (Center Biased Cross-Diamond Search) pattern with the predicted motion vector. Compare with the fractional pel full search and the CBFPS, the proposed CBCDS algorithms can reduce fractional pel search points up to 81.4%, respectively with the PSNR lost about 0.05dB.

Plant diseases are a significant yield and quality constraint for farmers around the world due to their severe impact on agricultural productivity. Such losses can have a substantial impact on the economy which causes a reduction in farmer's income and higher prices for consumers. Further, it may also result in a severe shortage of food ensuing violent hunger and starvation, especially, in less-developed countries where access to disease prevention methods is limited. This research presents an investigation of Directional Local Quinary Patterns (DLQP) as a feature descriptor for plants leaf disease detection and Support Vector Machine (SVM) as a classifier. The DLQP as a feature descriptor is specifically the first time being used for disease detection in horticulture. DLQP provides directional edge information attending the reference pixel with its neighboring pixel value by involving computation of their grey-level difference based on quinary value (-2, -1, 0, 1, 2) in 0°, 45°, 90°, and 135° directions of selected window of plant leaf image. To assess the robustness of DLQP as a texture descriptor we used a research-oriented Plant Village dataset of Tomato plant (3,900 leaf images) comprising of 6 diseased classes, Potato plant (1,526 leaf images) and Apple plant (2,600 leaf images) comprising of 3 diseased classes. The accuracies of 95.6%, 96.2% and 97.8% for the above-mentioned crops, respectively, were achieved which are higher in comparison with classification on the same dataset using other standard feature descriptors like Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and Local Ternary Patterns (LTP). Further, the effectiveness of the proposed method is proven by comparing it with existing algorithms for plant disease phenotyping.

Kinect released by Microsoft in November 2010 is a motion sensing camera in xbox360 and gives depth and color images. However, Kinect camera also generates holes and noise around object boundaries in the obtained images because it uses infrared pattern. Also, boundary flickering phenomenon occurs. Therefore, we propose a real-time virtual-view video synthesis algorithm which results in a high-quality virtual view by solving these problems. In the proposed algorithm, holes around the boundary are filled by using the joint bilateral filter. Color image is converted into intensity image and then flickering pixels are searched by analyzing the variation of intensity and depth images. Finally, boundary flickering phenomenon can be reduced by converting values of flickering pixels into the maximum pixel value of a previous depth image and virtual views are generated by applying 3D warping technique. Holes existing on regions that are not part of occlusion region are also filled with a center pixel value of the highest reliability block after the final block reliability is calculated by using a block based gradient searching algorithm with block reliability. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm generated the virtual view image in real-time.
