눈에 띄는 인상적인 사진을 만들기 위해서는 명도와 색상 대비를 통해 주제를 강조하는 방법, 타이밍, 보조피사체 등을 이용한 다양한 방법들이 있다. 그 중 색상 대비란 조합된 색에 의해 주제가 시각적으로 두드러지게 나타나는 것을 말하면 명도 대비는 주변의 발기와 주제의 밝기가 대비를 이뤄 주제가 배경으로부터 돋보이도록 만드는 기법을 말한다. 특히 하나의 움직임 속에서 서로가 균형을 이루고 있는 단 하나의 순간을 찾아내는 타이밍 또한 인상적인 사진을 만드는 요건이다.

컬러영상은 흑백 영상에 비해 보기 아름다울 뿐만 아니라 보다 다양하고 현실적인 정보를 나타낼 수 있으며, 특히 색의 대비를 이용하여 특정한 부분의 가시도를 높일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 최근에는 컬러 모니터의 대중화와 말티미디어 기술의 보급으로 인하여 대부분의 컴퓨터 사용자가 칼라 디스플레이를 사용하고 있으며, 이를 이용한 영상의 재현 및 제품 디자인이 자연스러운 영상색의 재현은 정확한 정보 의 전달 뿐만 아니라 사용자의 만족도 및 감성적 제품 개발에 중요한 요인이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 색을 가장 자연스러운 상태로 재현할 수 있는 Contrast/Brightness 상태를 알아보고, Contrast/Brightness 변화가 화면에 재현된 영상색에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석하였다.

This paper attempted to suggest the standards of light transmittance based on the analysis of the changes in contrast sensitivity of photopic condition according to the light transmittance of tinted lenses. The subjects of the experiment were 24 male and 13 female adults with normal ocular functions. They were asked to wear four tinted lenses (gray, brown, red, and green) in turn. The light transmittance of the lenses were 80~90%, 60~80%, 43~60%, and 30~43%, respectively. Contrast sensitivities were measured by using F.A.C.T. chart. The results showed that contrast sensitivities were decreased in proportion to the decrease of the light transmittance, and visual sensitivity of brown lenses were the highest and that of red lenses were the lowest. The results of the experiments suggested that the light transmittance should be over 38% for brown, gray and green lenses, and over 52% for red lenses. Accordingly the appropriate light transmittance should be considered when tinted lenses are selected for the purpose of eye protection in everyday life.

LCD(liquid crystal display)에서 칼라를 만드는 방법에는 가색 혼법(additive color method)$^{(1)}$ 과 감색 혼법(subtractive color method)$^{(2).(3)}$ 이 있다. 가색 혼법은 빛의 3원색인 red, green, blue의 칼라 필터를 인접하게 배치시키고 각각의 칼라 필터에 해당 칼라의 신호를 인가하여 밝기를 제어함으로서 색을 표현하는 방법으로 대비비(contrast ratio)가 높고 표현할 수 있는 색상의 범위(gamut)가 넓고 액정 셀의 두께가 얇다는 장점이 있지만, 반면에 빛의 투과율이 낮다는 단점이 있다. 거기에 비해 감색 혼법은 cyan, magenta, yellow의 3색의 표시소자로서 3-stack을 구성하여, 각층에 해당 칼라의 신호를 인가하여 밝기를 제어함으로서 색을 표현하는 방식으로 광 투과량은 가색 혼법의 경우보다 높으나, 완전한 dark상태의 구현이 어렵기 때문에 명암대비비가 낮다는 단점이 있다.

일반적으로, 표시 소자에서 원하는 색을 얻기 위해서는 가색 혼법, 감색 혼법 두 종류의 색 혼합 방법을 사용한다. 가색 혼법은 액정 cell에 적색, 녹색, 청색의 칼라 필터를 사용하여 3가지 색을 더함으로 색을 표현하는 방법이다. 가색 혼법은 매우 높은 명암 대비비를 얻을 수 있으며, 노트 PC와 휴대용 소자를 포함한 대부분의 LCD 분야에 적용된다. 그러나, 밝은 상태의 광 세기가 이론적으로 입사광의 1/3로 줄어들기 때문에 투과율이 낮다는 단점이 있다. (중략)

The contrast of a display is generally evaluated by using the ratio of the minimum luminance to the maximum luminance of the display. However, this contrast ratio is not matched with perceived contrast because it uses only physical characteristic of display without considering human perceptual characteristics. In this paper, the proposed contrast measure that considers perceptually discriminable brightness within the range of display brightness is suggested. First, the range between the minimum and maximum brightness of display in CIECAM02 color space is calculated to measure the length of perceived brightness for the display. Next, brightness ranges which are perceptually same at each brightness level are determined by applying Weber-Fechner ratio and then, the number of brightness values within each brightness range is counted. Finally, perceptually discriminable brightness is defined as the sum of ratio between the number of brightness values in each brightness range and the perceptual contrast length of the display. In the experiments, preference test using various displays with random brightness patches is performed to evaluate perceived contrast. As a result, the proposed measure is more consistent with human perception than the previous contrast measures.

This paper proposes a gamut mapping algorithm based on color space division for cross media color reproduction. As each color device has a limited range of producible colors, reproduced colors on a destination device are different from those of the original device. In order to reduce the color difference, the proposed method divides the whole gamut into parabolic shapes based on intersecting lightness by the just noticeable difference (JND) and the original device gamut boundary. Dividing the gamut with parabolic shapes and piecewise mapping of each region not only considers gamut characteristics but also provides for mapping uniformity. Also the lightness variations are more sensitive to the human visual system and by using lightness JND it can restrict lightness mapping variations that are unperceivable to enhance lightness contrast and chrominance. As a result, the proposed algorithm is able to reproduce high quality images using low-cost color devices.

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.

This paper proposes a cognitive contrast enhancement algorithm based on the non-linear masking to advance low cognitive contrast in dark regions of images. In order to improve brightness in dark regions of an image, we propose a new contrast enhancement algorithm based on the non-linear masking using regional adaptive parameters of an image. For performance evaluation of the proposed method, chromaticity and saturation comparison as a quantitative assessment and z-score comparison as a qualitative assessment were executed between test images and their simulated images by SSR, MSR, a conventional non-linear masking and the proposed method, respectively. As a result, the proposed method showed low chromaticity and saturation difference and improved cognitive contrast for the three methods.

The main causes of traffic accidents while driving a car is of the driver's visual distraction. In this study, the color sensitivity of the information projected on the windshield were evaluated for HUD (Head Up Display) system which helps the driver's eyes on the road while driving. The driving Information were projected $9^{\circ}$ downward from front sight $0^{\circ}$ under lab's fluorescent lights, LED floorlights and the TV had having 25 [lux] illumination when driving at night environment and 100,000 [lux] of daylight environment. Munsell color hue of the basic five colors (R, Y, G, B, P) and the color of traffic lights YR, W were the color of the seven characters, each character were outlined by White, Gray except for W. Total of 19 experimental stimuli was shown in the environment of day and night driving for asking visibility information of color, fatigue, preferences, and evaluate the degree of interference. The results came out that the bright Y and G color is visibility significantly for daylight. Second, with the outline of the text, the color of the outline works as a background for luminance contrast effects and affects visibility. Third, without the outline, the glass in front of the vehicle acts as the background and the luminance contrast of characters achieve greater brightness and visibility. The luminance contrast between the stimuli and background should be considered for increasing color visibility for driving information which is an important factor for HUD commercialization.
