In this paper, we present a color interpolation technique based on artificial neural networks for a single-chip CCD (charge-coupled device) camera with a Bayer color filter array (CFA). Single-chip digital cameras use a color filter array and an interpolation method in order to regenerate high quality color images from sparsely sampled images. We applied 3-layer feedforward neural networks in order to interpolate missing pixel from surrounding pixels. And we compared the proposed method with conventional interpolation methods such as the proposed interpolation algorithm based on neural networks provides a better performance than the conventional interpolation algorithms.

A liquid crystal display that does not use color filters is proposed. A backlight unit that employs compartmentalized RGB LED arrays and a lenticular lens array is used instead of the color filters in order to direct RGB LED lights into the RGB subpixels. A design of color-filterless LED backlight and experimental results are presented.

Demosaicing, or color filter array (CFA) interpolation, estimates missing color channels of raw mosaiced images from a CFA to reproduce full-color images. It is an essential process for single-sensor digital cameras with CFAs. In this paper, a new demosaicing method for digital cameras with Bayer-like W-RGB CFAs is proposed. To preserve the edge structure when reproducing full-color images, we propose an edge direction-adaptive method using color difference estimation between different channels, which can be applied to practical digital camera use. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method in terms of CPSNR, FSIM, and S-CIELAB color distance measures, we perform simulations on sets of mosaiced images captured by an actual prototype digital camera with a Bayer-like W-RGB CFA. The simulation results show that the proposed method demosaics better than a conventional one by approximately +22.4% CPSNR, +0.9% FSIM, and +36.7% S-CIELAB distance.

A new emotion-based image retrieval method is proposed in this paper. The research was motivated by Soen's evaluation of human emotion on color patterns. Thirteen pairs of adjective words expressing emotion pairs such as like-dislike, beautiful-ugly, natural-unnatural, dynamic-static, warm-cold, gay-sober, cheerful-dismal, unstablestable, light-dark, strong-weak, gaudy-plain, hard-soft, heavy-light are modeled by 19-dimensional color array and $4{\times}3$ gray matrix in off-line. Once the query is presented in text format, emotion model-based query formulation produces the associated color array and gray matrix. Then, images related to the query are retrieved from the database based on the multiplication of color array and gray matrix, each of which is extracted from query and database image. Experiments over 450 images showed an average retrieval rate of 0.61 for the use of color array alone and an average retrieval rate of 0.47 for the use of gray matrix alone.

A direct-lit color-matching liquid crystal display using a lenticular lens array with grouped lens elements that image linear RGB light sources on the RGB subpixels of a color filter to enhance transmittance is designed, simulated, and fabricated. The RGB LED linear light sources were fabricated using small RGB LEDs in a linear array arrangement, and the lenticular lens array consisted of eight units of the same structure with a gap of 2.19 mm. The optical transmittance of the liquid crystal panel was improved by as much as 240% due to the color matching.

In this paper, we present a new interpolation method for the color filter away(CFA). In order to capture color images. typical input devices use a single chip CCD imaging sensor with color filter array. As a result, the single chip CCD does not provide sufficient color resolutions since it arranges different color filters sequentially on a single CCD, resulting in aliasing noise and loss of resolution. In order to reconstruct high quality color images, we propose to use the interpolation algorithm using high order B-splines. Experiments show promising results.

대부분의 상업적 디지털카메라들은 가격과 크기를 줄이기 위해서 Color Filter Array (CFA)를 사용한다. CFA를 통과한 이미지는 픽셀 당 오직 단일 칼라정보만 가지고 있기 때문에, 정보를 잃어버린 나머지 2개의 색 정보를 얻기 위해서 보간을 해야하는데 이 과정을 디모자이킹 (Demosaicing) 이라고 부른다. 수 많은 디모자이킹 알고리듬 방법들이 제안되어 왔음에도 불구하고, 여전히 무지개 형태의 에러 (rainbow artifact) 와 지퍼 모양의 에러 (zippering artifact) 의 문제를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 향상된 가중치 함수를 이용하여 주변 픽셀값들의 경향성을 이용한 디모자이킹 알고리듬 방법을 제안한다. 실험결과, 우리가 제안한 알고리듬은 주관적 화질뿐만 아니라 객관적 화질에서도 기존의 방법들보다 뛰어다나는 것을 보여준다.

In this paper, an easy-to-use measurement device for illumination distribution is developed. The device consists of a sensor array module, a control module, and a PC interface. The sensor array module incorporates CIE 1931 color sensors and the ARM-based 96 MHz microcontroller in the control module for measurement and data processing. The sensor array module contains 64 color sensors arranged in a $16{\times}4$ array. The sensitivity of the sensor array module can be adjusted depending on the illumination level to be measured. The measurement data and control signals are exchanged via USB 2.0 standard. To demonstrate the performance of the device, the illumination distribution is measured for colors of red, green, and blue and is graphically shown. The device can be used for measurement of the illumination distribution, design and adjustment of LED illumination.

This paper proposes a novel lossless coding scheme for Bayer color filter array (CFA) images which are generally used as internal data of color digital cameras having a single image sensor. The scheme employs a block-adaptive prediction method to exploit spatial and spectral correlations in local areas containing different color signals. In order to allow adaptive prediction suitable for the respective color signals, four kinds of linear predictors which correspond to 2 ${\times}$ 2 samples of Bayer CFA are simultaneously switched block-by-block. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme outperforms other state-of-the-art lossless coding schemes in terms of coding efficiency for Bayer CFA images.

일반적으로 컬러 필터 배열(Color Filter Array: CFA)로부터 획득된 영상은 디모자이킹(demosaicking) 과정을 통해 소실된 컬러 정보를 복원한 후 압축을 수행하므로 데이터의 중복성(redundancy)이 발생한다. 따라서 부호화기에서 보간 과정 없이 압축을 수행하고 복호화기에서 복원된 영상을 보간하는 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 기존 방법이 전처리 과정에서 영상을 GBR 또는 YUV 4:2:2 형식으로 변환하는 반면, 본 논문에서는 YCoCg 4:2:2 형식의 변환 방법을 거쳐 압축을 수행한다. 또한 영상의 G성분의 샘플링 위치를 고려하여 휘도 성분의 H.264 화면 내 예측기의 방향성 및 참조 픽셀을 변경하여 적용하였다. 제안 방법은 기존 H.264 YUV4:2:0 인트라 예측 방법과 비교하여 평균적으로 3.91%의 비트율 감소와 0.04dB의 PSNR 증가를 보여준다.
