In exhibition spaces such as art museums, lighting should primarily illuminate the walls where exhibits are displayed rather than the floor. Commonly used LED lighting consists of an LED and a diffusion plate that closely resembles a Lambertian light source with uniform light distribution at every angle. This type of illumination focuses on the floor surface where normal incidence occurs. Consequently, this general illumination method is not well-suited for effectively lighting the wall surface. Specifically, to illuminate a wall, it is necessary to increase the light intensity in areas with a large incident angle in the light distribution. In response to this issue, our study proposes an illumination system that uses an ultra wide converter to adjust the divergence angle from the light source to 180 degrees.

This paper presents the development of a fuzzy controller for driving camera pan/tilt device so that the camera's viewing direction can automatically track a moving object. To achieve computational efficiency a non-contact type displacement follower is used as a feedback sensor instead of a vision camera. The displacement follower, however, is extremely sensitive to object's lighting condition and results in unstable response at high speed. To this end, a fuzzy controller is developed in such a way to provide stable tracking performance at high speed where the sensory signal is subjected to intermittant disturbances of large magnitude. The test result shows stable tracking response even for high speed and non-uniform lighting condition. The resulting camera autotracking system can be adopted as an effective tool for visual transfer in the context of teleoperation and autonomous robotics.

In this paper, a mercury-free flat discharge lamp with opposite electrode structure, a couple of phosphor layer and discharge vessel has been studied for LCD back-lighting. When the drive voltage conditions were set properly, a uniform discharge generates over entires emitting surface. The firing voltage was increased with increasing the discharge gas pressure. It was considered that this tendency was resulted from the decrease of mean free paths due to the increase of discharge gas pressure. The maximum luminance of 2700[cd/m2] was obtained in the green emitting FFL.

Light emitting diode(LED) technology has been increasingly developed and larger color gamut by LED illuminations can be reproduced; therefore more efficient LED lighting design can be accomplished under a consideration of color emotion. Fifty-two LED colors which are uniformly distributed on the uniform chromaticity space are evaluated in terms of fatigueness and preference and their relation to three color-appearance attributes(lightness, chroma and hue) are investigated. As a result, 23 human observers likely to prefer and feel comfortable, when lightness of a given LED color stimulus increases as well as its chroma decreases. The highest fatigueness score is observed in red color series and the most preferred LED color is found in green color series. In addition, fatigueness and preference show a strong negative linear relation and their Pearson correlation is higher than -0.8.

The furniture of the Joseon era, life sense of human forms a culture has appeared well. Feeling of life refers to the sense of feel natural to the history and traditional culture of the area and their own customs. Further, it is possible to be a sense that reflects the mental contents ego, ethical and religious. Furniture traditional and sophisticated sense like this is to take care of the sophistication that comes out from the inside than the beauty artificial as a function of the sense and user preferences. This is a feeling of unique Korean. Due to changes in the housing, the beauty of these illustrates the altered form mechanically a uniform in modern times. Have that desired to be manufactured furniture by applying the neck Korean furniture of our living environment that will change in Western Europe of today, with the tradition of the modern lifestyle.

The daylight responsive dimming system is an energy saving system that automatically controls lighting output of artificial lighting according to available daylight in inside, as well as keeps uniform workplace illuminance. The basic three components of the daylight responsive dimming system consist of a photosensor, a controller and a dimming ballast. This paper is a fundamental study of photosensor modeling for the daylight responsive dimming system. The correlation between photosensor illuminance on the ceiling and workplace illuminance is an important factor to accuracy of system performance, so that the purpose of this study is to improve accuracy for daylight responsive dimming system. This study performs to derive the optimized conditions of photosensor using the RADIANCE.

In this paper, face detection method in NIR(Near-InfraRed) images for human recognition is proposed. Edge histogram based on edge intensity and its direction, has been used to detect effectively faces on NIR image. The edge histogram descripts and discriminates face effectively because it is strong in environment of lighting change. SVM(Support Vector Machine) has been used as a classifier to detect face and the proposed method showed better performance with smaller features than in ULBP(Uniform Local Binary Pattern) based method.

In this study, a multivariate analysis model of partial least square regression (PLSR) was developed to predict the moisture content of green peppers using hyperspectral imaging (HSI). In HSI, illumination is essential for high-quality image acquisition and directly affects the analytical performance of the visible near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (VIS/NIR-HSI) system. When green pepper images were acquired using a direct lighting system, the specular reflection from the surface of the objects and their intensities fluctuated with time. The images include artifacts on the surface of the materials, thereby increasing the variability of data and affecting the obtained accuracy by generating false-positive results. Therefore, images without glare on the surface of the green peppers were created using a polarization filter at the front of the camera lens and by exposing the polarizer sheet at the front of the lighting systems simultaneously. The results obtained from the PLSR analysis yielded a high determination coefficient of 0.89 value. The regression coefficients yielded by the best PLSR model were further developed for moisture content mapping in green peppers based on the selected wavelengths. Accordingly, the polarization filter helped achieve an uniform illumination and the removal of gloss and artifact glare from the green pepper images. These results demonstrate that the HSI technique with a polarized lighting system combined with chemometrics can be effectively used for high-throughput prediction of moisture content and image-based visualization.

In this work, we report on a new monitoring method for an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panel for lighting by optical sensing of the wave-guided light in the substrate. Using microlens array films, the wave-guided light was extracted into the edge or back side of the panel to be monitored by a photodiode. The luminance of the extracted light was measured as linearly proportional to the front light. Thus, by converting the extracted light into photo voltage, monitoring the luminance change occurring in the OLED is possible. Based on the results and concepts, we have proposed a photodiode-equipped driving circuit which can generate compensated driving current for uniform luminance of OLED panels.

This paper presents a current-balancing circuit for security lights that uses parallel-connected LEDs. The parallel connection of LEDs causes current differences between the LED strings because of characteristic deviations. These differences can reduce the lifespan of a particular point of LEDs by thermal spotting. They can also cause non-uniform luminance of the lighting device. Among the different methods for solving these problems, the method using current-balancing transformers makes it easy to compensate for current differences and it has a simple circuitry. However, while the balancing transformer has been applied to AC light sources, LEDs operate on a DC source, so the driving circuitry and the design method have to be changed and their performances must be verified. Thus in this paper, a design method of the balancing transformer network and the driving circuitry for LEDs is proposed. The proposed design method could have a smaller size than the conventional design method. The proposed circuitry is applied to three types of 100-watt LED security lights, which use different LEDs. Experimental results are presented to verify the performance of the designed driving circuits.
