With the development of autonomous driving technology, the importance of object recognition technology is increasing. Haze removal is required because the hazy weather reduces visibility and detectability in object recognition. However, the image from which the haze has been removed cannot properly reflect the unique color, and a detection error occurs. In this paper, we use CIE1931 color coordinate system to extend or reduce the color area to provide algorithms and hardware that reflect the colors of the real world. In addition, we will implement hardware capable of real-time processing in a 4K environment as the image media develops. This hardware was written in Verilog and implemented on the SoC verification board.

This paper presents a hardware that improves the complexity of the CIE1931 color coordinate algorithm operation. The conventional algorithm has disadvantage of growing hardware due to 4-Split Multiply operations used to calculate large bits in the computation process. But the proposed algorithm pre-calculates the defined R2X, X2R Matrix operations of the conventional algorithm and makes them a matrix. By applying the matrix to the images and improving the color, it is possible to reduce the amount of computation and hardware size. By comparing the results of Xilinx synthesis of hardware designed with Verilog, we can check the performance for real-time processing in 4K environments with reduced hardware resources. Furthermore, this paper validates the hardware mount behavior by presenting the execution results of the FPGA board.

This paper proposes an optimized hardware implementation method for existing CIE1931 color gamut control algorithm. Among the post-processing methods of dehazing algorithms, existing algorithm with relatively low computations have the disadvantage of consuming many hardware resources by calculating large bits using Split multiplier in the computation process. The proposed algorithm achieves computational reduction and hardware miniaturization by reducing the predefined two matrix multiplication operations of the existing algorithm to one. And by optimizing the Split multiplier computation, it is implemented more efficient hardware to mount. The hardware was designed in the Verilog HDL language, and the results of logical synthesis using the Xilinx Vivado program were compared to verify real-time processing performance in 4K environments. Furthermore, this paper verifies the performance of the proposed hardware with mounting results on two FPGAs.

백색 OLED 조명 분야에서 색 변환은 큰 이슈가 되고 있다. 하지만 청색 유기물의 발광 특성이 좋지 못하여 아직까지 정착이 되지 못하고 있는 것이 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 발광 효율이 낮은 청색 OLED 대신 청색 LED와 황색 OLED를 사용하여 색 변환을 통한 백색 발광 panel을 제조하고 전기 및 광학적 특성을 평가하였다. 먼저 OLED소자는 진공증착방법을 사용하여 ITO (150 nm)/KHI-001 (5 nm)/LG-101 (10 nm)/KHT-001 (25 nm)/ PGH-02 (25 nm): Ir (mpp) 3 (8%): PRD-003 (0.3%)/TMM-004 (10 nm)/LG-201 (20 nm): LiQ (50%)/Al (150 nm) 구조를 갖는 발광면적 $70{\times}70mm^2$의 황색 OLED panel을 제작하였다. CIE 1931색좌표는(0.49, 0.49)이고, 효율은 $41.61{\ell}m/W$이다. 그리고 LED는 청색 칩을 한 줄로 나열하여 LED bar를 만들었고 여기에 도광판, 리버스 프리즘시트, 확산시트 그리고 반사시트를 더하여 점광원을 면광원화 하였다. CIE 1931색좌표가 (0.15, 0.04)이며 효율은 $3.56{\ell}m/W$이다. 황색 OLED를 청색 LED 면광원 뒤에 붙여서 두 빛이 도광판 위쪽으로 나오게 하였다. 이렇게 hybrid된 빛은 인가 전류를 변화 시킴으로써 색온도 3,200 K의 warm white에서 7,800 K의 cool white까지 변환이 가능하였다. 그리고 순백의 hybrid 빛을 얻을 수 있었는데 이때의 색온도는 4200K이고 CIE 1931색좌표는(0.34, 0.33)이며 연색지수는 89였다.

This work introduces the uncertainty evaluation formulation on color measurement of light sources and display devices, such as CIE 1931 (x, y) chromaticity, CIE 1960 (u, v) chromaticity, correlated color temperature, and distribution temperature. All the mentioned quantities are reduced from spectral data in the visible range, for which uncertainties are strongly correlated between different wavelengths. Using matrix algebra we have formulated the uncertainty propagation from the SI- traceable spectral irradiance standard to the individual color related measurement quantities taking the correlation between wavelengths into account. As a result, we have demonstrated uncertainty evaluation examples of 3 types of light sources: CIE illuminant A, LED white light, and LCD white light. This method can be applied to any other quantities based on spectral measurement such as solar irradiance, material color measurement, etc.

White organic LED spectrum for lighting and displaying should be designed for high luminous efficiency as well as good chromaticity coordinate, pleasant correlated color temperature and color rendering. A program based on Matlab was made to make these calculations convenient. The chromaticity coordinate and luminous efficiency was calculated according to the CIE 1931 colorimetric system, while the correlated color temperature(CCT) was calculated based on CIE 1960 UCS diagram. The color rendering characteristics were evaluated according to the CIE Color Rendering Index (CRI), using Ra, Ri and ${\bigtriangleup}E$ from the 14 color samples defined in CIE13.3.

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.

Recently, Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) that is broadly applied as next generation display has various advantages. However, OLED display causes unbalanced color tone due to the difference of luminance efficiency among luminous elements. In this paper, we propose adaptive color shifter (ACS) to resolve the RGB channel unbalance and to have wide color range of a relatively weak channel using the image processing method. proposed ACS system was simulated using a variety of image. Also, we numerically analyzed using hue histogram, CIE-1931 xyz color space.

In this paper, an easy-to-use measurement device for illumination distribution is developed. The device consists of a sensor array module, a control module, and a PC interface. The sensor array module incorporates CIE 1931 color sensors and the ARM-based 96 MHz microcontroller in the control module for measurement and data processing. The sensor array module contains 64 color sensors arranged in a $16{\times}4$ array. The sensitivity of the sensor array module can be adjusted depending on the illumination level to be measured. The measurement data and control signals are exchanged via USB 2.0 standard. To demonstrate the performance of the device, the illumination distribution is measured for colors of red, green, and blue and is graphically shown. The device can be used for measurement of the illumination distribution, design and adjustment of LED illumination.

Colors have been derived from the observed optical spectrum of Mars and Jupiter. It is known that the planets and the Moon emit reflected sunlight and thus their spectra are similar to the spectrum of solar radiation. The question was then why is the color of Mars different from that of other planets, i.e. red, although it would share the same spectrum of reflected sunlight. Can one derive color from the spectrum? Therefore, we observed the optical spectra of the scattered sunlight in day time for the Moon and Mars using a 1-D array spectrograph on the 12-inch reflecting telescope in the Korea Science Academy of KAIST in Busan, Korea. We adopted the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1931 of three spectral sensitivity peaks for the human eye in short, medium and long wavelengths in visible light. The observed spectra were imposed on CIE sensitivities and the color detected by the human eye was derived. The Mars spectrum represents red color and the Moon white. It is a similar color to that which a human would see. This result means that color is easily derived from astronomical spectra. The appearance of the planets surface can be determined for Mars, which is the result of iron oxide.
