Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of contrast sensitivity by prescribing tinted lenses and to provide the clinical manual. Methods: Contrast sensitivity was measured for twenty adults with normal vision while they wore yellow, orange and green tinted lenses. To measure contrast sensitivity, the 5 spatial frequencies (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 cpd) were used for 33 ms and 233 ms, respectively. Results: The contrast sensitivity was overall higher with 233 ms than 33 ms (p<0.05). The peaks of contrast sensitivity with 33 ms and 233 ms were 1.75 log unit with the yellow lens and 1. 85 log unit without the color respectively. However, there was no significance between the yellow and orange tinted lens (p>0.64) Conclusions: Yellowish tinted lens that reduces chromatic aberration and the scattering is prescribed for the various purposes to improve visual functions. Before prescribing tinted lens, identifying characteristic of user and tinted lens for cut off wavelengths is recommended.

Image magnification is the estimation of a few pixel in images with high quality from a pixel of an image with low resolution and there have been studied many techniques to make images with high quality. In this paper, we propose an image interpolation method using median filter and spatial information. The proposed method makes an interpolating pixel using an average value of a median filtered value and an average value of two pixels correlated with an interpolating pixel tightly. Also we make the magnified image with improved quality to add the directional information of surrounding pixels and the characteristic of ones using average value and max value of spatial variation. We evaluate the performance using PSNR in the quality of enlarged image comparing the proposed method with existing methods. The results show the proposed method improves PSNR than the existing methods and make images preserving the characteristic of original imges.

Electric propulsion ships are gaining widespread interest in the marine industry owing to extreme air pollution concerns. Consequently, several studies are actively being conducted for improving the power quality. Various methods have been developed that incorporate passive filters, notch filters, and active filters for reducing the harmonic content in the input current of a conventional diode front end rectifier. Among such filters, the active front end (AFE) rectifier is considered as an excellent technology. In this paper, current control for an AFE rectifier employing space vector PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) is proposed. Conventional current control methods for the AFE rectifier, hysteresis, SPWM (Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation), and SVPWM (Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation) were simulated by employing the PSIM software tool for analysis and comparisons. The results corroborate that SVPWM has the simplest structure and provides the best performance.

We propose a new method for tuning of center wavelength in photorefractive filter using $LiNbO_3$ crystal doped with 0.015Wt.% Fe. through the filter bandwidth property analysis using the geometrical method, a new wavelength selectivity theory was presented. In this scheme, the tuning of the center wavelength can be achieved by the real time incident angle control of the received heam, which was gotten by the spatial light modulator. So, tuning time depend on the response time of the SLM and results in the high speed turing. Because the use of thermally fixed grating in our filter, it has uniform diffraction property to the all filtering wavelength. Designed tunable filter has 4nm bandwidth and composed of the three channel with 10nm space. From the optical experiment, we get the 4.5nm, 4.25nm, 4nm bandwidth and 1530.5nm, 1540.5nm, 1549.5nm center wavelength respectively.

Recently, with the popularization of digital devices, the requirements of image quality is becoming higher and higher. However, the images are frequently corrupted in the image data processing, there are several reasons for this and the noise is considered as the main reason. Therefore, in order to alleviate the influence of AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise) in image, this paper puts forward the spatial weighted filtering algorithm. The algorithm set the weighted value according to the spatial distance, compared with the existing methods. The algorithm not only alleviated the influence of AWGN effectively but also reserved image details.

In this paper, we propose an optical correlator system using volume holograms for database of matched filters. Optical correlator has high speed and parallel processing characteristics of optics. Matched filters are recorded into a volume hologram that can store data with high density, transfer them with high speed, and select a randomly chosen data element. The multiple reference images of database are prerecorded in a photorefractive crystal in the form of Fourier transform images, simply by passing the image displayed in a spatial light modulator through a Fourier transform lens. The angular multiplexing method for multiple holograms of database can be achieved by rotating the crystal by use of a step motor. Experimental results show that the proposed system can be used for the fingerprint recognition.

A novel approach for the feature extraction of handwritten characters is proposed by using spatial filtering neural networks with 4 layers. The proposed system first removes rough pixels which are easy to occur in handwritten characters. The system then extracts and removes the boundary information which have no influence on characters recognition. Finally, The system extracts feature information and removes the noises from feature information. The spatial filters adapted in the system correspond to the receptive fields of ganglion cells in retina and simple cells in visual cortex. With PE2 Hangul database, we perform experiments extracting features of handwritten characters recognition. It will be shown that the network can extract feature informations from handwritten characters successfully.

단어 필터링은 유해정보를 차단위한 기본적인 기능이다. 그러나 악의적인 사용자는 필터링 시스템을 우회하기 위하여 금지 단어에 의도적인 변형을 가한다. 이에 대응하기 위해 일정 오류를 허용하여 필터링을 수행하는 근사 단어 필터링이 있다. 근사 단어를 검색하기 위한 문자열 색인 방법으로는 주로 기준 단어(Pivot)을 이용한 유클리드 공간에의 사상을 이용하는데, 이는 단어 필터링에 응용하기에는 근본적인 구조상의 한계점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 필터링 대상이 되는 단어 집합 내에서 군집화를 수행하여 계층적인 자료구조를 구성하고, 단어 필터링을 위한 필터링 질의(Filtering query)를 정의한 뒤 그에 적합한 탐색 상의 적용에 관하여 설명한다. 실험 결과 기존의 기준 단어(Pivot)을 이용한 색인 기법에 비하여 16.9%~26.6%의 탐색 속도 향상을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 스피커를 통해 입체 음향을 재생할 때 발생하는 크로스 토크(corss talk)를 제거하기 위한 트랜스오럴 필터를 실시간으로 구현하였다. 실시간 처리를 위하여 일반적인 트랜스오럴 필터를 재구성하였으며, 범용 DSP(Digital Signal Processor) 칩인 TMS320C40을 사용하였다. 메인 프로그램은 C-언어를 이용하여 작성하였으며, 빠른 연산을 필요로 하는 컨벌루션 함수는 어셈블러 언어를 이용하여 최적화 하였다. 구현된 트랜스오럴 필터의 평가를 위해서 더미 헤드를 이용하여 녹음된 binaural 신호와 DSP를 이용하여 실시간으로 합성된 binaural 신호를 스테레오 스피커를 통해 재생하여 청취 실험하였다. 청취 실험한 결과 머리 밖에서 음상 정위가 이루어지고 공간감과 거리감은 헤드폰으로 청취할 때 보다 우수하게 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was tried to remove the noise and improve the spatial resolution in the computed tomography (CT) by using anisotropic 2-dimensional (2D) diffusion based filter. We used 4-channel multi-detector CT and american association of physicists in medicine (AAPM) phantom was used for CT performance evaluation to evaluate the image quality. X-ray irradiation conditions for image acquisition was fixed at 120 kVp, 100 mAs and scanned 10 mm axis with ultra-high resolution. The improvement of anisotropic 2D diffusion filtering that we suggested firstly, increase the contrast of the image by using histogram stretching to the original image for 0.4%, and multiplying the individual pixels by 1.2 weight value, and applying the anisotropic diffusion filtering. As a result, we could distinguished five holes until 0.75 mm in the original image but, five holes until 0.40 mm in the image with improved anisotropic diffusion filter. The noise of the original image was 46.0, the noise of the image with improved anisotropic 2D diffusion filter was decreased to 33.5(27.2%). In conclusion improved anisotropic 2D diffusion filter that we proposed could remove the noise of the CT image and improve the spatial resolution.
