This paper describes the design of a multistandard video encoder. The proposed encoder accepts conventional NTSC/PAL video signals, It also processes he PAL-plus video signal which is now popular in Europe. The encoder consists of five major building functions which are letter-box converter, color space converter, digital filters, color modulator and timing generator. In order to support multistandard video signals, a programmable systolic architecture is adopted in designing various digital filters. Interpolation digital filters are also used to enhance signal-to-noise ratio of encoded video signals. The input to the encoder can be either YCbCr signal or RGB signal. The outputs re luminance(Y), chrominance(C), and composite video baseband(Y+C) signals. The architecture of the encoder is defined by using Matlab program and is modelled by using Veriflog-HDL language. The overall operation is verified by using various video signals, such as color bar patterns, ramp signals, and so on. The encoder contains 42K gates and is implemented by using 0.6um CMOS process.

JPEG is good for full color representation but is poor in quality of image because of the small size and the losing compression ways. GIF is a kind of format style made for image - transmission in Compuserve which is a method of PC communication in U. S. A and now is used in world wide web owing to the efficiency of file compression and transmission. But GIF only is used 256 colors, so the images in web has a poorer quality of colors effect to be compared with those of printed catalogues. Also there can be licence problems when the images is used for commercial uses because the possession is Compuserve. The PNG is a way that the total advantages of JPEG and GIF. PNG image file is a more skillful (bitmap display unit), shows a high quality image like TIFF image about, gives superior compression , a 10% to 30% represents full color, 256 color, gray like JPEG. GIF file which uses LZW compression file is a thing which pays licence, In other hands, PNG is free from licence and more skillful image processing method against image error, and it is possible to conserve the color information. Therefore, this treatise is about how various images which are utilized for commercial printings in web, can be made into PNG files about the compression file. And the representation of image by compared the G]U images with JPEG images as well as compression file and the representation of image the superiority of color representation.

This paper suggests an automatic electrophoretic deposition (EPD) robot system using a color mono camera. The EPD robot system consists of a 2 DOF rectangular robot to practically carry out EPD tasks, and a color mono camera to automatically control the robot. The screws are used to actuate the robot with low speed of 10mm/s for EPD tasks. The color mono camera detects the color marks attached to the robot and beakers, and obtains their positions. The obtained positions are used for automatic robot control. Also, the camera recognizes the combinations of the markers attached to the beakers, and determines the selected EPD task among various predetermined EPD tasks with different working parameters. Finally, experimental results are shown for verifying the effectiveness of the suggested EPD robot system.

This paper proposes a stable and robust method to distinct the color similarity for clothes using the LBG algorithm under various light sources, Since the conventional methods, such as the histogram intersection and the accumulated histogram, are profoundly sensitive to the changing of light environments, the distinction of color similarity for the same cloth can be different due to the complicated light sources. To reduce the effects of the light sources, the properties of hue and saturation which consistently sustain the characteristic of the color under the various changes of light sources are analyzed to define the characteristic of the color distribution. In a two-dimensional space determined by the properties of hue and saturation, the LBG algorithm, a non-parametric clustering approach, is applied to examine the color distribution of images for each clothes. The color similarity of images is defined by the average of Euclidean distance between the mapping clusters which are calculated from the result of clustering of both images. To prove the stability of the proposed method, the results of the color similarity between our method and the traditional histogram analysis based methods are compared using a dozen of cloth examples that obtained under different light environments. Our method successively provides the classification between the same cloth image pair and the different cloth image pair and this classification of color similarity for clothe images obtains the 91.6% of success rate.

An image contains various features such as color, shape, texture and location information. When only one of those features is used to retrieve an image, it is difficult to acquire satisfactory retrieval efficiency. Especially, in the database with huge capacity, such phenomenon happens frequently. Therefore, by using moi·e features, efficiency of the contents-based image retrieval (CBIR) system can be improved. This paper proposes a technique to consider location information about specific color as well as color information in image using centroid situation vector. Centroid situation vectors are calculated for specific color of the query image. Then, location similarity is determined through comparing distances between extracted centroid situation vectors of query image and target image in the database. Simulation results show that the proposed method is robust in zoom-in or zoom-out processed images and improves discrimination ability in fliped or rotated images. In addition, the suggested method reduced computational complexity by overlapping information extraction, and that improved the retrieval speed using an efficient index file.

In this paper, we propose a face detection method based on color constancy and geometrical analysis. With the problem about the various colors of skin under scene illuminant, a color constancy method is applied to input images and geometrical analysis is used to detect face regions. At first, the candidates of face or hair are extracted from the image that a color constancy method is applied to, and are classified by some geometrical criterions. And then, face candidates which have some intersectional regions whose total is over a certain size, with hair candidates are selected as faces. Caltech Face DB was used to compare the performance of our method. Also, performance about scene illuminant was evaluated by images which have some illumination effects. The experiment results show that the proposed face detection method was applicable to various facial images because of high true-positive and low false-negative ration.

The temporal dark- and bright-image sticking phenomena were examined relative to the He contents under 11% Xe content in the 50-in HD and FHD AC-PDPs with a ternary gas mixture (Xe-He-Ne). To compare the temporal dark- and bright-image sticking phenomena under various He contents, the differences in the disappearing time, display luminance, perceived luminance, infrared emission, color coordinate, color temperature, and discharge current before and after discharge were measured under 0, 35, 50, and 70% He contents. It was found that temporal dark- and bright-image sticking were reduced in proportion to the increase in He %. Thus, a high He content contributes to the reduction of temporal dark- and bright-image sticking.
