This paper presents a novel automatic white balance (AWB) algorithm for consumer imaging devices. While existing AWB methods require reference white patches to correct color, the proposed method performs the AWB function using only an input image in two steps: i) white point detection, and ii) color constancy gain computation. Based on the dark channel prior assumption, a white point or region can be accurately extracted, because the intensity of a sufficiently bright achromatic region is higher than that of other regions in all color channels. In order to finally correct the color, the proposed method computes color constancy gain values based on the Y component in the XYZ color space. Experimental results show that the proposed method gives better color-corrected images than recent existing methods. Moreover, the proposed method is suitable for real-time implementation, since it does not need a frame memory for iterative optimization. As a result, it can be applied to various consumer imaging devices, including mobile phone cameras, compact digital cameras, and computational cameras with coded color.

본 논문에서는 백색광주사간섭무늬의 정점검출을 위한 새로운 디지털처리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 알고리즘은 백색광주사간섭무늬의 가시도함수를 이차의 다항식으로 가정하고, 측정된 광강도 값들을 최소자승법을 이용하여 직접적으로 곡선맞춤하여 가시도함수의 정점의 위치를 검출한다. 기존의 정점검출 알고리즘들과 비교하여, 본 이차다항식맞춤 알고리즘은 가시도함수의 추출을 위한 별도의 연산이 요구되지 않아 3N+29의 작은 곱셈 계산량만으로 연산을 완료 할 수 있다. 또한 최소자승법을 사용함으로써 간섭무늬가 갖는 외부 교란을 효과적으로 억제하여 안정된 해를 제공하는 장점을 갖는다.

In order to replace 14K white gold alloys, the properties of 5K white gold alloys (Au20-Ag80) were investigated by changing the contents of In (0.0-10.0 wt%). Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) was used to determine the precise content of alloys. Properties of the alloys such as hardness, melting point, color difference, and corrosion resistance were determined using Vickers Hardness test, TGA-DTA, UV-VIS-NIR-colorimetry, and salt-spray tests, respectively. Wetting angle analysis was performed to determine the wettability of the alloys on plaster. The results of the EDS analysis confirmed that the Au-Ag-In alloys had been fabricated with the intended composition. The results of the Vickers hardness test revealed that each Au-Ag-In alloy had higher mechanical hardness than that of 14K white gold. TGA-DTA analysis showed that the melting point decreased with an increase in the In content. In particular, the alloy containing 10.0 wt% In showed a lower melting temperature (> $70^{\circ}C$) than the other alloys, which implied that alloys containing 10.0 wt% In can be used as soldering materials for Au-Ag-In alloys. Color difference analysis also revealed that all the Au-Ag-In alloys showed a color difference of less than 6.51 with respect to 14K white gold, which implied a white metallic color. A 72-h salt-spray test confirmed that the Au-AgIn alloys showed better corrosion resistance than 14K white gold alloys. All Au-Ag-In alloys showed wetting angle similar to that of 14K white gold alloys. It was observed that the 10.0 wt% In alloy had a very small wetting angle, further confirming it as a good soldering material for white metals. Our results show that white 5K Au-Ag-In alloys with appropriate properties might be successful substitutes for 14K white gold alloys.

The purpose of this study was to roughness on the polished surface of visible light composite resins and was to observe the polished surfaces under Scanning Electrom Microscope(ISI DS 130 AKASHI Co. JAPAN). The surface roughness tester(Surfcom 700A Seimtsu profilometer Tokyo, Japan) was used to measure roughness of polished surfaces. In this study, 5 brands of visible of composite resins were examined, Pyrofile light bond Anterior Lite fil anterior Photo clearfil anterior & posterior Palfique light Anterior and posterior Silux Anterior. White point, Silicure point, Super snap Sof-Lex medium disk as cutting instrument, and celluloid matrix were used. The results obtained were as follows. 1. The Celluloid matrix produced the smoothest surfaces. 2. The surfaces made by Soflex medium disk was smoother than the surfaces made by any other polishing instruments. 3. The values of surface roughness made by White point, Silicon point and Super snap were similer. 4. Palfique light (AP) visible light composite resin showed the smoothest surface after polishing with Silicone point, Super snap disk and Soflex mediuem disk in all tested materials.

In the full white pattern, white uniformity means the degree of uniform distribution of white color and luminance across the whole screen. Among the FPDs(Flat Panel Displays), the TFT-LCD has weak point of viewing angle. The viewing angle considering location and direction can cause different image quality of the TFT-LCD. Therefore, white uniformity of the TFT-LCD must consider viewing angle. Based on international standards, this study proposes an alternative that is realistic and ergonomic measurement of white uniformity of the TFT-LCD.

When a mechanical structure is driven by stationary wide band random point forces, the resulting vibration depends upon the number, location, and joint statistical properties of the exciting forces. In this study, under the assumption of light damping, an approximate procedure for analyzing plates is briefly outlined. The effects of number, location and correlation of the force field on the vibration level are then investigated for various cases in which random point forces with band limited white noise are applied, and the optimal spacing between input forces that produces a relative minimum in the vibration response is predicted.

최근 HDR (High Dynamic Range) 영상 렌더링을 위하여 다중 노출 영상 기반의 iCAM06 영상 재생 모델이 개발되었다. HDR 영상을 좁은 다이나믹 레인지를 갖는 디스플레이 장치에 출력하기 위해서는 톤 재현(tone reproduction) 또는 톤 맵핑(tone mapping) 과정을 거쳐야 하는데, HDR 렌더링 알고리즘을 대표하는 iCAM06은 출력 장치의 다이나믹 레인지에 영상을 재현하기 위해 S자 곡선 3 자극치 톤 압축(tone compression) 기법을 사용한다. 그러나 동일한 톤 맵핑 곡선의 사용으로 인한 톤 압축과정 중에서는 화이트 포인트 이동이 발생하는 단점이 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 3 자극치의 조명 영역의 입력에 대한 왜곡된 채널 이득을 보정하여 화이트 포인트 이동을 보상하는 방법을 제안하였다. 실험 결과는 제안한 방법이 iCAM06보다 정량 정성적으로 개선된 결과를 보임을 확인할 수 있다.

Objective: There were few reports on the treatment of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome with Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. We treated a Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome with Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathic patient with Oriental medical approach, and got a significant result. This treatment shows the possibility of healing Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome with Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. So we are reporting this case. Method : Acupuncture treatment, herb medication, rehabilitation therapy were applied for treating patient's chief symptom.(involuntary movement, dystonia, aphasia, fever, perspiration) Results : Consciousness loss in acute stage of Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy can be considered as Mental Confusion due to Phlegm(Dammisimgyu) in veiw point of Oriental medicine. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome can be considered as Sudden Palpitation(Gyounggye) in veiw point of Oriental medicine. After oriental medical treatment, patient's chief symptoms were improved. Conclusion: More study about oriental medical treatment on Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome with Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy is needed.

In this paper, we propose the modified display color control system using white point line, boundary lines and S-shaped curves to emphasize blue and red tone colors on CIE1931 diagram. The proposed system divides RGB gamut into movable area and non-movable area by using boundary lines. The colors in movable area are moved into right side or left side along quadratic curve to change the bluish (or reddish) color to more bluish (or more reddish), while those in non-movable area are excepted from color control to prevent skin color from changing. The loci of the quadratic curves are very similar to the arc of the white-point line which connects all points that represent the chromaticities of a black body radiator at different temperatures and is also called the black body locus. The RGB gamut extension by movement of chromaticity coordinate can improve color reproducibility. Therefore in the case of application to LCD, the display shows excellent performance because the LCD's color reproducibility is comparatively lower than that of other display systems. The proposed system is also experimentally demonstrated with Xilinx Virtex FPGA XCV2000E- 6BG560 and the TV set.
