In this paper, the active backlight control technology with data processing algorithm was developed in order to improve image quality for IPS-mode LCD-TV applications. The image blinking problem caused by repeatedly abrupt change of the backlight luminance was solved by algorithms-Fba(Flexible Boundary algorithm) and Cfa(Cumulative Feedback algorithm)-and the optimized number and space of backlight dimming steps based on perception. In the IPS-mode 42" TFT-LCD panel, the dynamic contrast ratio can be more than twice the typical level by means of lower block luminance and higher white luminance. Additionally, Power consumption and LCD temperature was decreased.

Based on the measurement results, a limit value for the change of the brightness of the headlamp, and an estimation algorithm considering the driver's safety was developed. Limitation values concerning being uncomfortable, blinking, and brightness change were indicated based on a subjective estimation of the psychological estimation. Also a safety estimation algorithm and a limitation value for stopping safely without the threat of obstacles to the vehicle were indicated by the perception measurement.

Pupil size variation can not be controlled intentionally by the user and includes various features such as the blinking frequency and the duration of a blink, so it is suitable for understanding the user's emotional state. In addition, an ocular feature based emotion classification method should be studied for virtual and augmented reality, which is expected to be applied to various fields. In this paper, we propose a novel emotion classification based on CNN with pupil size variation signals which include not only various ocular feature information but also time information. As a result, compared to previous studies using the same database, the proposed method showed improved results of 5.99% and 12.98% respectively from arousal and valence emotion classification.

Bio-imaging and drug carriers for delivery have created a huge demand for crystals. Crystals are fascinating materials that have been grown for a long time but obtaining biocompatible fluorescent crystals is a challenging task. We report on the growth of fluorescent crystals using a carbon dot (C-dot) solution by a hydrothermal process. The crystallization pattern of these C-dots exhibited a unique dendritic structure having a feather-like morphology. The growth temperature and pressure were maintained at 60℃ and 200 mmHg, respectively, for crystal growth. A green fluorescence (under UV light) that was observed in the C-dot solution was retained in the crystals formed from the solution. Cytotoxicity studies on Vero cells revealed the crystals to be extremely biocompatible. These fluorescent crystals are extremely well suited for biomedical and optoelectronic applications.

In this paper, we propose real-time program that measure open-close frequency of mouth and eyes to detect drowsiness of a driver. This program detects a face to the CCD camera image using OpenCV library. Then that extracts each area using CDF for eye detection and Active Contour for mouth detection based on detected face. This system measures each frequency of Open-Close using extracted area data of eyes and mouth. We propose foundation technique how to perform sleepiness decision of users based on measurement data.

This study is intended to propose a technique that can trace objects by utilizing the multimarker method in the Marker Recognition which is a bridge way connecting virtuality and reality in complex environments or in a condition hands become obstacles. In the existing marker method, the object becomes blinking when the maker is blocked since this method relies only on single marker. However, the researcher was able to confirm the appearance of augmented object when the marker was blocked for the multiple markers replaced the blocked one. In order to implement such technique, multi-marker estimation was utilized with perspective matrix. The advantage is the fast estimation process for there is no need of other calculation. The implemented technique can detect markers and locate their positions, represent 3-D object in various circumstances.

본 논문에서는 비젼을 이용한 영상처리 기술을 기반으로 운전자의 피로도를 측정하여 졸음운전을 감지하여 경고하는 실시간 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 얼굴 영상 분석과 퍼지 이론을 이용하여 운전자의 졸음 또는 부주의함을 감지하여 경고함으로서 교통사고를 미연에 방지하는 시스템이다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 얼굴 탐색 알고리즘 개발을 위해 퍼지 색상 필터와 가상 얼굴 모형을 이용하여 얼굴위치 및 눈 영역을 보다 빠르게 검출하고, 눈 깜박임의 빈도수(Eye blinking frequency)와 눈의 닫힘 지속 기간(Eye closure duration)을 측정하는 방법은 제안한다. 그 다음, 측정된 데이터를 기반으로 퍼지논리를 사용하여 운전자의 피로도를 결정하고 졸음운전 여부를 감지 및 판단하는 방법을 제안한다. 마지막으로, 제안된 방법은 여러 실험을 통해 운전자의 졸음운전 감지 능력의 우수성을 증명한다.

We have performed a short-term computer information and communication technology education using Arduino. The purpose of this education was to progress basic training interestingly and discover excellent students. Training was about practicing basic examples about H/W, S/W, communication, and solving creative tasks. We divided training participants into a team composed of each 3 members and educated them for 10 hours. Instructors were consists of 1 main teacher and 3 teacher assistants. Training was about assembling Arduino based robot, blinking LED, operating speaker, serial communication, producing software for wireless communications and autonomous of robot, and control hardware of robot. Through this study, we developed a meaningful ICT integrated curriculum which has high usefulness in a short period. Students participated in this education completed 96% out of 10 creative tasks, and this study analyzes the result of curriculum and suggests further research directions.

Changes in visual sensitivity were investigated as a function of distance from the locus of attention. While a subject was fixating at a point on a frontal plane, one of the two attention inducing points placed horizontally and symmetrically 4。 apart from it was blinked and a target immediately followed at a location around the blinking dot. The subject's task was to decide and report whether the target was present or abscent. The rate of detection was the highest at the immediate vicinity of the locus of attention and decreased gradually as a function of the distance from it. Results of the experiments support the gradient model of attention-induced changes in visual sensitivity.

A keyboard system for hands-free virtual reality head mounted display using electrooculogram (EOG) signal which occurs during the eye-blinking is proposed. This system consists of display device, gyroscope sensor, gravity sensor and electro-encephalogram (EEG) sensor, and it is implemented with Unity3D engine for system control and graphic processing. If the input language of proposed keyboard system is Korean, i.e. Hangul, the Chonjiin keyboard method is utilized; but for the English spelling, numbers or special characters, $3{\times}4$ keyboard method is used in order to solve the spatial problem. By the implemented method, it can be verified that the user can handle the keyboard input of virtual reality head mounted display with only neck movement and EOG, instead of using hands.
