저조도 환경에서 카메라로 영상을 획득하기 위해 일반적으로 가시광 플래시를 사용하거나 장노출 기법을 사용하게 된다. 그러나 가시광 플래시를 사용할 때 플래시 광에 의한 색 왜곡이나 적목 현상, 눈부심에 의한 거부감을 발생시킨다. 또한 장노출을 사용하게 되면 물체의 움직임에 의한 흔들림 현상이 발생하게 된다. 따라서 최근에는 이러한 단점을 극복하고, 저조도 환경에서 고화질의 영상을 획득하기 위하여 멀티 스팩트럴 플래시(Multi-spectral flash image)를 이용하여 영상을 획득하는 방법이 소개되었다. 이 방법은 가시광과 UV/IR스펙트럼의 다섯 채널을 이용하여 가시광영상의 색 정보와 UV/IR 스팩트럼 영상의 세부정보를 최적화하여 영상을 획득하는 방법이다. 하지만, 픽셀 기반의 최적화 과정에 있어 색 왜곡과 다른 잡음을 발생시키게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 색 왜곡과 잡음을 개선하기 위해 영역 기반의 가중치 맵을 최적화 방법에 적용하여 색 왜곡을 개선하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 먼저, 영상에 대하여 Canny 에지 검출 방법을 사용하여 영상의 윤곽을 검출하였다. 이를 가중치 맵으로 최적화방법에 적용함으로, 세부 영역에 대하여 UV/IR 플래시 영상의 정보에 가중치를 부여하고, 평탄한 영역에 대하여 가시광 영상의 색 정보를 가중치를 부여하여 색 왜곡을 개선하였다. 제안한 방법을 평가하기 위하여 실험을 통하여 제안한 방법과 이전방법을 비교하였고, 객관적 평가와 주관적 평가 모두 제안한 방법이 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.

The effects of $TiO_2$ contents and UV irradiation treatment on the surface properties of PLA films embedded with $TiO_2$ nanoparticle were investigated. Whereas UV irradiation decreased reflectance of the treated PLA films proportionally with increasing UV energy, the reflectance of PLA/$TiO_2$ films increased with increasing UV energy. The UV irradiation treatment caused PLA/$TiO_2$ blend films more polar as indicated in the generation of new carbonyl group and decrease in zeta potentials, which was more pronounced with the introduction of $TiO_2$. Upon UV irradiation, $TiO_2$ particles appeared on the film surface as observed in SEM images. The PLA/$TiO_2$ blend films showed photocatalytic properties such as photobleaching of methylene blue, deodorization of ammonia and antimicrobial activity in comparison with pure PLA films.

We use UV(ultraviolet)-$O_3$ treatment to increase the surface area and porosity of $TiO_2$ films in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). After the UV-$O_3$ treatment, surface area and porosity of the $TiO_2$ films were increased, the increased porosity lead to amount of dye loading and solar conversion efficiency was improved. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images clearly showed that the nanocrystalline porosity of films were increased by UV-$O_3$ treatment. The Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller surface area of the $TiO_2$ films were increased from $0.71cm^2/g$ to $1.31cm^2/g$ by using UV-$O_3$ treatment for 20 min. Also, UV-$O_3$ treatment of $TiO_2$ films significantly enhanced their solar conversion efficiency. The efficiency of the films without treatment was 4.9%, and was increased to 5.6% by UV-$O_3$ treatment for 20 min. Therefore the process enhanced the solar conversion efficiency of DSSCs, and can be used to develop high sensitivity DSSCs.

Nishikida et al. (2006) presented the first far-ultraviolet (FUV) em${\lambda}$ission-line images of the Vela supernova remnant (SNR) obtained with FIMS/SPEAR instrument. Those include C III ${\lambda}$977, O VI ${\lambda}{\lambda}$1032, 1038, Si IV+O IV] ${\lambda}{\lambda}$1393, 1403 (un-resolved), C IV ${\lambda}{\lambda}$1548, 1551 emission-line images. As a following work, we re-constructed these emission-line images using the new-version processed FIMS/SPEAR data. Additionally, we made N IV] ${\lambda}$1486, He II ${\lambda}$1640.5, O III] ${\lambda}{\lambda}$1661, 1666 emission-line images. The new-version images cover the whole region of the Vela SNR and show more resolved features than the old-version. We compare these FUV emission-line images with other wavelength (X-ray, optical, etc.) images obtained in previous studies.

In this paper, we introduced a novel voxel-wise UV parameterization and view-dependent texture synthesis for the immersive rendering of a truncated signed distance field (TSDF) scene model. The proposed UV parameterization delegates a precomputed UV map to each voxel using the UV map lookup table and consequently, enabling efficient and high-quality texture mapping without a complex process. By leveraging the convenient UV parameterization, our view-dependent texture synthesis method extracts a set of local texture maps for each voxel from the multiview color images and separates them into a single view-independent diffuse map and a set of weight coefficients for an orthogonal specular map basis. Furthermore, the view-dependent specular maps for an arbitrary view are estimated by combining the specular weights of each source view using the location of the arbitrary and source viewpoints to generate the view-dependent textures for arbitrary views. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively synthesizes texture for an arbitrary view, thereby enabling the visualization of view-dependent effects, such as specularity and mirror reflection.

A new class of carbosiloxane dendrimer (G4-48PyP) terminated with 4-pyridylpropano I was synthesized and its possible application to functional thin films was examined through metal complexation and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique. The highly concentrated periphery pyridyl groups of G4-48PyP were exposed on aq. aluminum ions at the air-water interface. The monolayers showed stability up to ca. 50 mN/m of surface pressure. When the subphase became acidic or alkaline, the monolayers changed to condensed phase. The presence of aluminum ions also caused reduction of the molecular area. The macroscopic images of the monolayers were monitored by Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) and only the images of dendrimer aggregates could be observed after the monolayer collapse. The surface images of the monolayer LB film were scanned by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The convex structures of single and aggregate molecules were directly observed. The structures of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films were characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The UV-Vis spectrum of the aluminum ion-complexed LB film showed additional band around 670nm, which was not found in the spectra of dendrimer itself or aq. aluminum ions. XPS spectra also supported the incorporation of aluminum ions into the LB films.

This paper describes the diagnosis techniques using UV images taken in the field under energized condition of power equipments in order to figure out and analyze the abnormal states on the terminals of power equipments. To classify the features of the terminals, the counted No. of the corona generated at the terminals is defined. According to the result detected, the No. of corona detected on the power equipments installed inside a building is less than that installed outside a building, and it strongly depends on the environment and installed condition. Thus, the environmental condition needs enhanced, and stable operation by the periodic inspection under energized condition of the power equipments is required. Especially, the event counting technique using UV camera is useful for the power equipments apart more than 20 m to apply, and there can be an error due to the features of the sensing techniques when the distance between the user and the objects is close less than 15 m. Therefore, the experimental result shows that event counting technique is employed in the case of the distance more than 15 m. The electrical safety can be ensured by using the UV detection technique and the criteria.

We investigated the effect of a post-annealing process using ultraviolet (UV) light on the electrical properties of solution-processed InZnO (IZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs). UV light was irradiated on IZO TFTs for different time periods of 0s, 30s, and 90s. We measured transfer and retention stability curves to evaluate the performance of the fabricated TFTs. In addition, we measured height, amplitude, and phase AFM images to analyze changes in the surface and morphology of the devices. AFM measurements were performed by setting the drive amplitude of the cantilever tip to 47.9 mV in tapping mode, then dividing the device surface into 500 nm × 500 nm. In the case of IZO TFT irradiated with UV for 30s, the electron mobility and I_on/I_off ratio were improved, the threshold voltage was reduced by approximately 2 V, and the subthreshold swing also decreased form 1.34 V/dec to 1.11 V/dec.

The photovoltaic modules installed in the actual field are affected by various external environments and the electrical performance output value is generally lowered compared to initial output value. The most of photovoltaic modules consists of low iron glass, encapsulant (EVA), back sheet, frame and junction box assembly based on the solar cells. In this paper, the characteristics of encapsulant which is an important constituent material of photovoltaic module were verified by maximum power determination, electro luminescence images, yellowness index measurement, and gel content measurement after ultraviolet (UV) irradiation exposure. The most commonly installed 72 cells crystalline photovoltaic modules were tested after various UV exposure of 0, 15, 30, and $60kWh/m^2$ and compared with the reference module. After UV exposure of $15kWh/m^2$, which is the current international test condition, a small amount of change was observed in yellowness index and electroluminescence, while a gell content rapidly increased. At a cumulative dose of $60kWh/m^2$, which will be a new international test condition in the near future, however, the yellowness index increased sharply and showed the greatest output power drop.
