Up to 10% of the global population suffers from color vision deficiency (CVD) [1], especially deuteranomaly and protanomaly, the conditions in which it is difficult to discriminate between red and green hues. For those who suffer from CVD, their career fields are restricted, and their childhood education is frustrating. There are many optical eye glasses on the market to compensate for this disability. However, although they are attractive due to their light weight, wearing these glasses will decrease visual brightness and cause problems at night. Therefore, this paper presents a supplementary device that comprises a head-mounted display and an image sensor. With the aid of the image processing technique of digital color space adjustment implemented in a high-speed field-programmable gate array device, the users can enjoy enhanced vision through the display without any decrease in brightness.

본 논문에서는 영역병합 방법을 이용한 칼라 영상 분할 방법을 제안하였다. 영상 분할 전단계에서 비선형 필터링 방법을 이용한 평활화와 채도 강화 및 명도 평균화를 수행하여, 영상 내 존재하는 비균질성을 줄이고, 칼라 히스토그램의 zero-crossing 정보를 이용한 비균일 양자화를 수행하여 유사한 칼라성분을 가지는 영역들을 분할하였다. 웨이브릿 변환의 고주파 대역 에너지를 이용하여 분할된 초기 영역의 윤곽성분 강도를 측정하였고, 이를 통해 병합 후 후보영역을 선정하였다. 영역병합을 위한 영역간 유사도 측정은 R, G, B 칼라성분의 유클리디안 거리를 측정하여 수행하였다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 방법에 비해 불규칙한 광원으로 불필요한 영역이 분할되는 것을 줄일 수 있었고, 이를 실험을 통해 입증하였다.

Use of the digital camera as a color measuring device was proposed. Digital camera can save, adjust and transmit image using computer. But it has great disadvantage that color of image possibly altered by environment of image capturing state, so the color reproducibility of digital camera can severly damage, Casmatch, the supplement for color correction, was proposed for enhance the color reproducibility of digital camera. Thus for study the efficacy of the Casmatch in enhancing the color reproducibility of digital camera, image of 78area in 39teeth was captured three times during two days and color reproducibility was evaluated and analyzed in terms of the use of Casmatch, teeth positions, and area within the tooth and comparatively analyzed. Results were as follow ; 1. ${\Delta}$E the color reproducibility of digital camera was 6.90${\pm}$3.27 in same day and 7.43${\pm}$3.94 in different day, and the color reproducibility when using Casmatch correction was 6.21${\pm}$3.86, 7.59${\pm}$4.48, there is no enhancement in using Casmatch correction. 2. There is no difference in color reproducibility between teeth, but color reproducibility of the middle third was greater(p<0.05) than the gingival third before color correction using Casmatch.

This paper presents a optimizing algorithm getting through analyzing a image improvement algorithm using retinex theory. Improving a existing retinex theory's slow process speed, our proposal is that it controls a small filter size of surrounding function by comparing with original algorithm. So slow process speed decreased drastically. For filling a short of lighting information by small filter, we also selected gray image as a forth channel. Using the color constancy, we got fast process time like linear color correction and could do comfortable auto color rectification according to other images.

This paper presents a design of the real-time preprocessor for CMOS image sensor suitable to the digital camera applications. CMOS image sensor offers some advantages in on-chip integration, system power reduction, and low cost. However, it has a lower-quality image than CCDs. We describe an image enhancement algorithm, which includes color interpolation, color correction, gamma correction, sharpening, and automatic exposure control, to compensate for this disadvantage, and present its efficient hardware architecture to implement on the real-time processor. The presented real-time preprocessor was designed using VHDL, and it contains about 19.2K logic gates. We also implement our system on FPGA chips in order to provide the real-time adjustment and it was successfully tested.

Digital image capturing technology has been making great progress recently, and we can now simply capture the color image by digital camera, flat-bed scanner of Photo CD system. A lot of professionals are instrested in the capability of Photo CD and other digital images in the printing and publishing industry. But these images were not processed a suitable image processing to use in the hard copy. In this paper we described a method of the digital enhancement processiing to use in the printing and publishing industry. Experimental result show that the described method was useful and valid for the digital image enhancement to use in the hard copy.

Field Emission display (FEDs) require enhancement in both driving methods and process techniques to improve the display image quality. However, from the point of view of manufacturing, it is difficult to find methods and techniques to realize low cost manufacturing. New and simple color phosphor screen designs were suggested with non-crossed electrode lines and full color anode panels for small area displays were demonstrated. To avoid unwanted reaction with gases produced from phosphors in a high vacuum glass container, a very thin polyimide layer was coated on the phosphor screen. Moreover, to improve the display image quality, black matrix composed of inorganic materials was fabricated. This paper describes the performance and characteristics of the new full color anode panels.

Low-light image enhancement is a key technique to overcome the quality degradation of photos taken under scotopic vision illumination conditions. The degradation includes low brightness, low contrast, and outstanding noise, which would seriously affect the vision of the human eye recognition ability and subsequent image processing. In this paper, we propose an approach based on deep learning and Retinex theory to enhance the low-light image, which includes image decomposition, illumination prediction, image reconstruction, and image optimization. The first three parts can reconstruct the enhanced image that suffers from low-resolution. To reduce the noise of the enhanced image and improve the image quality, a super-resolution algorithm based on the Laplacian pyramid network is introduced to optimize the image. The Laplacian pyramid network can improve the resolution of the enhanced image through multiple feature extraction and deconvolution operations. Furthermore, a combination loss function is explored in the network training stage to improve the efficiency of the algorithm. Extensive experiments and comprehensive evaluations demonstrate the strength of the proposed method, the result is closer to the real-world scene in lightness, color, and details. Besides, experiments also demonstrate that the proposed method with the single low-light image can achieve the same effect as multi-exposure image fusion algorithm and no ghost is introduced.
