This study was conducted to develop a electronic circuit of primary color reaction for urine analyzer for measuring color response of urine strip. A primary color reaction system is equipped with the computer, electronic circuit, tray, detecting assembly and software. The determination of coefficient($R^2$) between reagent and color sensor were 0.9801(R), 0.9868(G) and 0.9837(B). To evaluate the system verification, we measured the primary color reaction of erythrocytes, Bilirubin, Urobilinogen, Ketones and Protein. We concluded that it is possible to use the developed the primary color reaction system for urine analyzer using u-health.

Most multimedia signals contain image data, so the problem of efficient processing and transmitting the image data is an important task of the information society. This paper proposes a compression algorithm that reduces the color bits according to importance using YUV color space among the various methods of compressing image data. 4: 2: 2 subsampling is the standard in the field of video. Using the color information and the characteristics of the human retina, YUV color data was reduced by 4: 2: 2 subsampling. The YUV images and RGB images can be interconverted using the transformation matrix. The image data was converted into color space by YUV, and the relatively low U and V bits were subjected to a downscaling operation. The data was then compressed through 4: 2: 2 subsampling. The performance of the proposed algorithm was compared and analyzed by a comparison with existing methods. As a result of the analysis, it was possible to compress the image without reducing the information of the low importance color element and without significant deterioration in the quality compared to the original.

Objectives: This study assessed the reliability of digital color measurements using images of resin composite specimens captured with a cellphone. Materials and Methods: The reference color of cylindrical specimens built-up with the use of resin composite (shades A1, A2, A3, and A4) was measured with a portable spectrophotometer (CIELab). Images of the specimens were obtained individually or pairwise (compared shades in the same photograph) under standardized parameters. The color of the specimens was measured in the images using RGB system and converted to CIELab system using image processing software. Whiteness index (WI_D) and color differences (ΔE₀₀) were calculated for each color measurement method. For the cellphone, the ΔE₀₀ was calculated between the pairs of shades in separate images and in the same image. Data were analyzed using 2-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (α = 0.05). Linear regression models were used to predict the reference ΔE₀₀ values of those calculated using color measured in the images. Results: Images captured with the cellphone resulted in different WI_D values from the spectrophotometer only for shades A3 and A4. No difference to the reference ΔE₀₀ was observed when individual images were used. In general, a similar ranking of ΔE₀₀ among resin composite shades was observed for all methods. Stronger correlation coefficients with the reference ΔE₀₀ were observed using individual than pairwise images. Conclusions: This study showed that the use of cellphone images to measure the color difference seems to be a feasible alternative providing outcomes similar to those obtained with the spectrophotometer.

Simultaneous measurement technique for temperature and velocity fields near a heated solid body has been constructed. The measurement system consists of a 3-late CCD color camera, a color image grabber, a 1ighting system, a host computer and a software for the whole quantification process. Thermo Chromic Liquid Crystals (TCLC) was used as temperature sensors. A neural network was used to get a calibration curve between the temperature and the color change of the TCLC in order to enhance the dynamic range of temperature measurement. The velocity field measurement was attained by the use of the fray-level images taken for the flow field, and by introducing the cross-correlation technique. The temperature and the velocity fields of the forced and the natural convective flows neat the surface of a cartridge heater were measured simultaneously with the constructed measurement system.

An image retrieval system is a piece of software that searches identical or similar images based on various image-specific features. This paper proposes a trademark image retrieval system that uses image colors and forms. In the proposed system, input images are segmented into several other regions, and color distribution histograms for different regions are extracted for use as color information. The proposed system uses form information through the preprocessing process such as boundary surface extraction, centroid extraction, angular sampling and, and through calculating the sums of the distances between the centroid and the boundary surfaces, standard deviations, and the ratios between long and short axes. Like this, the color and form information extracted is used to perform retrieval through measuring similarity.

The worldwide spread of the Internet and the digital information revolution have resulted in a rapid increase in the use and transmission of multimedia information due to the rapid development of communication technologies. It is important to protect images in order to prevent problems such as piracy and illegal distribution. To solve this problem, I propose a new digital color image encryption algorithm in this paper. I design a new pseudo-random number generator based on 1D five-neighborhood maximum length cellular automata (FN-MLCA) to change the pixel values of the plain image into unpredictable values. And then I use a 3D chaotic cat map to effectively shuffle the positions of the image pixel. In this paper, I propose a method to construct a new MLCA by modeling 1D FN-MLCA. This result is an extension of 1D 3-neighborhood CA and shows that more 1D MLCAs can be synthesized. The safety of the proposed algorithm is verified through various statistical analyses.

In this paper, a rate-distortion optimization (RDO) model is proposed to find the joint bit allocation of geometry data and color data based on geometry-based point cloud compression (G-PCC) of Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). The mechanism of the method is to construct the RD models for geometry and color data through the training process. Afterward, two rate-distortion (RD) models are integrated as well as the decision of the parameter λ to obtain the final RDO model. The experimental results show that the proposed method can decrease 20% of the geometry Bjøntegaard delta bit rate and increase 37% of the color Bjøntegaard delta bit rate compared to the MPEG G-PCC TMC13v12.0 software.

According to the 2015 Revised Curriculum, elementary school students will study software education for only 17 hours. Under these guidelines, it is impossible for student to achieve the objectives of software education. Therefore, we developed the software education curriculum model for elementary schools. After analyzing international and domestic trend in software education curricula, we developed a framework for software education that is divided into three parts: software, computer systems, and fusion activity. Each part has seven, color-coded levels that resemble a rainbow. This allows students to move to the next level after completing the achievement goals of the previous level, regardless of their grade. We expect that this model will be used in the future to develop textbooks, teaching materials, and tools for software education.

Conventional caption extraction methods use the difference between frames or color segmentation methods from the whole image. Because these methods depend heavily on heuristics, we should have a priori knowledge of the captions to be extracted. Also they are difficult to implement. In this paper, we propose a method that uses little heuristics and simplified algorithm. We use topographical features of characters to extract the character points and use KMST(Kruskal minimum spanning tree) to extract the candidate regions for captions. Character regions are determined by testing several conditions and verifying those candidate regions. Experimental results show that the candidate region extraction rate is 100%, and the character region extraction rate is 98.2%. And then we can see the results that caption area in complex images is well extracted.
