In this paper we propose high performance system with reduced hardware architecture to convert a color tone. Conversion for the color tone of a input image is necessary to calculate the color temperature of the image Conventional way of calculating the temperature uses algorithm using the method calculating 2-D chromaticity coordinates. But it requires bulky hardware[1]. This paper propose the color temperature calculation method about 1-D chromaticity coordinates that reduces the hardware complexity while keeping the performance of the 2-D color temperature algorithm . The proposed method is verified by fLCD-TV system using the Xilinx Virtex FPGA XCV 2000E-6BG560 that has 1344*806 resolution and requires a high-speed 65MHz operation.

An efficient color compensation method is proposed to reduce the color difference between the camera based inspection system and the colorimeter based inspection system in a plasma display panel production line. The color compensation matrix can be constructed by using the relationship between RGB to XYZ conversion matrices, which are obtained by the RGB primaries and reference white chromaticity coordinates. Experimental results show that the non-contact color inspection system using the proposed color compensation method satisfactorily compensates the chromaticity coordinates acquired by the area color CCD camera to be matched to those measured by the colorimeter for various test color.

A digital phase wrapping modulation (DPM) open-loop polar transmitter can be efficiently applied to a wideband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication system by converting in-phase and quadrature signals to envelope and phase signals and then employing the signal mapping process. This mapping process is very similar to quantization in a general communication system, and when taking into account the error that appears during mapping process, one can replace the coordinates rotation digital computer (CORDIC) algorithm in the coordinate conversion part with the Taylor series approximation method. In this paper, we investigate the application of the Taylor series approximation to the cartesian to polar coordinate conversion part of a DPM polar transmitter for wideband OFDM systems. The conventional approach relies on the CORDIC algorithm. To achieve efficient application, we perform computer simulation to measure mean square error (MSE) of the both approaches and find the minimum approximation order for the Taylor series approximation compatible to allowable error of the CORDIC algorithm in terms of hardware design. Furthermore, comparing the processing speeds of the both approaches in the implementation with FPGA reveals that the Taylor series approximation with lower order improves the processing speed in the coordinate conversion part.

In this paper, the scan conversion processor which converts the triangle represented by three vertices into pixel-level screen coordinates, depth coordinate, and color data is designed. The processor adopts scan-line algorithm which decomposes triangle into horizontal spans and then transforms the span into pixel data. By supporting top-left filling convention, it ensures that triangles that share an edge do not produce any dropouts or overlaps between adjacent polygons. It consists of about 21,400 gates and its maximum operating frequency is about 80 Mhz under 0.35um CMOS technology. Because its maximum pixel rate is about 80 Mpixels/sec, it can be applicable to mobile graphics application.

The purpose of the present study was first, to evaluate the relationship between composite surface conversion and surface discoloration, second, to know if there was difference in surface discoloration between celluloid-strip-finished composite surface and polished surface. In addition, the discoloration of composite surface was also evaluated with visual inspection or digital camera with high resolution monitor, Z100, Tetric Ceram, Spectrum, and Aelitfil were used. The composite surfaces were celluloid-strip finished (group 1), polished (group 2), celluloid-strip finished under nitrogen gas purging (group 3) or only light cured without finishing or polishing under nitrogen gas purging (group 4). The microhardness of each samples were also measured in each group. The samples of each group were also divided into 4 subgroup whether they were immediately placed in disclosing solution (0.2% Elythrosin, pH 7.0) (subgroup1), 1 day after light curing(subgroup 2), 3day after light curing(subgroup 3) or 7 day after light curing(subgroup 4). The computer controlled spectrophotometer was used to determine CIELAB coordinates ($L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$). The amounts of color difference were compared. The results were as follows; 1. There was no difference in discoloration between celluloid strip finished composite surface and polished surface. 2. The samples discolored more when they were placed in disclosing solution immediately after polymerization than other groups. 3. When the samples were light cured under nitrogen gas purging and without polishing process, they discolored more than other groups even though they showed higher micro hardness. 4. With visual inspection or digital camera, only a limited information was available in detecting composite surface discoloration.

In this paper, the Post Process for the manifold complex processing using CAD/CAM Software of two and a half Dimensions(2.5D) has been developed to maximize the application of the manifold manufacturing machine. Many companies are currently making use of high price systems to improve manufacturing process using the multi-axial complex manufacturing machine. In accordance with the requirements, the utilization of CAD/CAM Software for the manifold complex manufacturing machine is earnestly demanded. However, the experts who have experience in manifold manufacturing machine are insufficient. Consequently the outcomes of the Post Process for 2.5D CAD/CAM Systems have been dealt in order to be smoothly operated by those who have basic skills and be understood in process drawings. CNC program functions can be specially used as they are, when drawn up. The Post Process for the original point designation and transformation of coordinates has been developed and applied. The results gave proof of practical manufacturing outcomes.

GPS allows a user with an appropriate receiver to obtain their position anywhere on the Earth's surface. The use of GPs has highlighted the shortcomings of national reference systems, and many countries are in the process of establishing new geodetic frameworks in order to overcome these shortcomings. Korea National Geography Institute has established a new geocentric datum and presented the its time frame for implementation. In this paper, I studied the considerable matters of digital mapping authority and users for converting the geodetic datum and coordinate system and suggested the steps of public relations for GIS users.

In this paper, we proposed the GPS position data correction method for autonomous land navigation using vanishing point property and a monocular vision system. Simulations are carried out over driving distances of approximately 60 km on the basis of realistic road data. On a straight road, the proposed method reduces GPS position error by at least 63% within 0.5 m. However, the average accuracy of the method is not presented, because it is difficult to estimate it on other than a straight road in variable conditions.
