In this paper, we propose a tone mapping method using Non-linear Dynamic Range Normalization (NDRN) for High Dynamic Range (HDR) images. HDR images are not suitable for commercial display devices because dynamic range of HDR images do not match with one of Low Dynamic Range (LDR) display devices. To reproduce a tone of HDR images for LDR displays, tone mapping methods have been proposed such as local and global tone mapping. We introduce NDRN to locate mean of HDR images at the center of LDR. NDRN preserves the details for highlight and shadow. By suppressing the significant luminance change in tone mapping, naturalness of original image can be also preserved. The experimental results show that the proposed method preserves details and naturalness of original images.

For dynamic analysis of flexible structures, classical linear modeling has been widely used due to its several good aspects. However, it was found that the modeling often lost its accuracy. So, it is important to know the valid range of the modeling before it is used. more complicated modelings are needed to obtain reliable results only outside the valid range of the classical linear modeling. In this study, some rigid body motions of flexible structures which lead to the failure of the classical linear modeling are investigated. Hybrid deformation variable modeling, which is proved to be accurate in previous studies, is used to figure out the valid range of the classical linear modeling through numerical examples.

영상 강조 기법은 영상의 낮은 명암 대비(contrast)를 노이즈나 블러링(blurring)의 제거, 명암 대비의 증가, 세밀함의 확장 등을 통해 시각적으로 향상시키는 작업을 말한다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 제안되어 온 여러 영상 강조 기법들의 장점을 기반으로 한 Adaptive dynamic range linear stretching(ADRLS) 영상 강조 기법을 제안한다. ADRLS 기법은 입력 영상의 히스토그램 분할과 동시에 adaptive scale factor를 적용하여 다수의 서브 히스토그램을 생성하는 것에 초점을 맞추고 있으며, 생성된 서브 히스토그램은 최종적으로 선형 강조(Linear Stretching, LS) 기법이 적용되어 영상 강조를 수행하게 된다. 제안된 기법의 성능을 검증하기 위해 기존의 히스토그램 선형 강조 기법, 히스토그램 평활화(Histogram Equalization, HE) 기법과 비교 평가하였으며, 그 결과 기존의 기법들에 비해 영상의 과도한 밝기 변화를 억제함으로써 영상의 시각적인 특성을 유지하고, 입력 영상이 갖고 있는 히스토그램의 특성을 보존하는 효과를 보였다.

선형 증폭단, ADC 그리고 디지털 신호 처리기로 이루어진 디지털 광대역 마이크로파 수신기는 시스템의 감도와 동적 범위로 성능 평가를 해석할 수 있다. 시스템의 감도와 동적 범위는 시스템의 이득, 3차 상호변조적과 ADC 특성으로 결정되어지며 선형 증폭단의 설계 방법 또한 중요한 영향을 미친다. 그리고 수신기로 입력되는 두 신호의 주파수가 인접한 경우 디지털 신호 처리기는 두 신호를 분리할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 증폭단의 이득을 변화시켜 동적 범위를 측정한 다음, 가장 적절한 감도와 동적 범위를 선택할 수 있는 이득 값을 결정하고, 인접한 두 신호의 분리를 위해 고해상도 스펙트럼 추정법을 사용하였다.

Using a Rheometries Dynamic Analyzer (RDA II), the dynamic viscoelastic properties of a semi-solid ointment base (vaseline) in large amplitude oscillatory shear flow fields were measured over a temperature range of $25{\sim}45^{\circ}C$ and the linear viscoelastic behavior in small amplitude oscillatory shear flow fields was investigated over a wide range of angular frequencies. In this article, the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior was reported from the experimentally obtained data and the effect of temperature on this behavior was discussed in detail. In addition, the angular frequency and temperature dependencies of a linear viscoelastic behavior were explained. Finally, the applicability of a time-temperature superposition principle originally developed for polymeric materials was examined using a shift factor. Main results obtained from this study can be summarized as follows : (1) At very small strain amplitude region, vaseline shows a linear viscoelastic behavior independent of the imposed deformation magnitudes. Above a critical strain amplitude $({\gamma}_{0}=0.1{\sim}0.2%)$, however, vaseline exhibits a nonlinear viscoelastic behavior ; indicating that both the storage modulus and dynamic viscosity are sharply decreased with increasing deformation magnitude. (2) In large amplitude oscillatory shear flow fields, an elastic behavior (storage modulus) has a stronger strain amplitude dependence and begins to show a nonlinear behavior at a smaller strain amplitude region than does a viscous behavior (dynamic viscosity). (3) In small amplitude oscillatory shear flow fields, the storage modulus as well as the loss modulus are continuously increased as an increase in angular frequency and an elastic nature is always superior to a viscous behavior over a wide range of angular frequencies. (4) A time-temperature superposition principle can successfully be applicable to vaseline. This finding allows us to estimate the dynamic viscoelastic behavior of vaseline over an extraordinarily extended range (11 decades) of angular frequencies inaccessible from the experimentally measured range (4 decades).

Design of structures subjected to blast loads are usually carried out through nonlinear inelastic dynamic analysis followed by imposing acceptance criteria specified in design codes. In addition to comprehensive aspects of inelastic dynamic analyses, particularly in analysis and design of structures subjected to transient loads, they inherently suffer from convergence and computational cost problems. In this research, a strategy is proposed for design of steel moment resisting frames under far range blast loads. This strategy is inspired from performance based seismic design concepts, which is here developed to blast design. For this purpose, an algorithm is presented to calculate the capacity modification factors of frame members in order to simplify design of these structures subjected to blast loading. The present method provides a simplified design procedure in which the linear dynamic analysis is preformed, instead of the time-consuming nonlinear dynamic analysis. Nonlinear and linear analyses are accomplished in order to establish this design procedure, and consequently the final design procedure is proposed as a strategy requiring only linear structural analysis, while acceptance criteria of nonlinear analysis is implicitly satisfied.

This paper proposes a novel complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) active pixel sensor (APS) and presents its performance characteristics. The proposed APS exhibits a linear-logarithmic response, which is simulated using a standard $0.35-{\mu}m$ CMOS process. To maintain high sensitivity and improve the dynamic range (DR) of the proposed APS at low and high-intensity light, respectively, two additional nMOSFETs are integrated into the structure of the proposed APS, along with a photogate. The applied photogate voltage reduces the sensitivity of the proposed APS in the linear response regime. Thus, the conversion gain of the proposed APS changes from high to low owing to the addition of the capacitance of the photogate to that of the sensing node. Under high-intensity light, the integrated MOSFETs serve as voltage-light dependent active loads and are responsible for logarithmic compression. The DR of the proposed APS can be improved on the basis of the logarithmic response. Furthermore, the reference voltages enable the tuning of the sensitivity of the photodetector, as well as the DR of the APS.

Estimation and correction of color temperature of digital images are basis of white balance adjustment after image acquisition stage. White balance is one of the most important image processing techniques for subjective image quality enhancement. Correction of color temperature is applied for white balance adjustment or for changing the mood of a picture. A picture taken under the daylight can be changed to have a mood of sunset or cloudy day, for example. We evaluate color temperature transformation of high dynamic range images in linear and log domain, and we conclude that linear domain transformation shows better results.
