In this paper, the effect of background grey levels on the visual perception of target image displayed on CRT monitor has been investigated. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of CRT monitor as a display medium of image information especially in medical imaging field. Three sets of experiments have been performed in this study; the first was to measure the luminance response of CRT monitor and to find the best fitting equation, and the second was the psychophysical experiment measuring the threshold grey level difference between the target image and the background required for visual discrimination for various background grey levels, and the third was to develop a visual model that is predictable of the threshold grey level difference measured in the psychophysical experiment. The result of psycophysical experiment shows that the visual perception performance is significantly degraded in the range of grey levels lower than 50, which is turned out due to the low luminance change of CRT monitor in this range while human eye has been adapted to relatively bright ambient illumination.

The result of psycophysical experiment shows that the visual perception performance is significantly degraded in the range of grey levels lower than 50, which is turned out due to she low luminance change of CRT monitor in this range while human eye has been adapted lo relatively bright ambient illumination. And it Is also shown in the simulation study using the developed visual model that the dominant factor degrading the visual performance is the reflected light from the monitor surface by ambient light in general illumination condition.

A method of characterizing time-sequential stereoscopic 3D displays based on the measurement of the temporal behavior of the systems vs. the grey levels is proposed. An Nvidia 3D vision kit with a 3D-ready SAMSUNG 2233RZ LCD display is characterized in the paper. OPTISCOPE SA especially designed for the precise measurements of the luminance and temporal behavior of LCD displays was used. The transmittance and response time of the shutter glasses was first evaluated. Then the grey-to-grey response times of the display were measured. The 2D and 3D behaviors of the display were then compared. Finally, the temporal behavior of the complete system was modeled, and the grey-level variations on one view were deduced as a function of the synchronization and level of the other eye. The main sources of imperfection were identified and quantified, and a full computation of the system performances was done.

본 논문에서는 단순매트릭스 액정 표시기의 새로운 계조화 방식으로서 새로운 코드 체계를 사용한 계조화 방식을 제시하였다. 새로운 계조화 방식의 실험 및 특성 평가는 16계조 및 32계조 패턴의 시뮬레이션과 구동전압의 산출을 통하여 수행하였다. 실험 및 특성 평가 결과로서 3비트 코드 체계, (7, 5, 3)을 이용한 16계조 모드는 본 논문에서 고찰되는 기존의 계조 표시 모드들과 비교하여 각각 19% 및 9.6% 줄어든 최대 구동 전압을 갖는다. 이러한 구동 전압 특성의 개선 정도는 표시 계조 수가 증가할수록 더욱 증가된다. 한편 계조 패턴의 시뮬레이션을 통한 화질 평가 결과로서 3비트 16계조 모드는 기존 방식과 비교하여 계조 특성을 다소 저하시키나 이러한 특성 저하 정도는 32계조 등 계조 수가 증가할수록 크게 감소된다. 결과적으로 본 논문에서 제시하는 새로운 코드 체계를 이용한 계조화 방식은 계조 특성의 저하를 최소화하면서 구동 전압 특성을 효율적으로 개선할 수 있는 방식임을 확인하였다.

In these authors’ previous paper, it was shown that grey-level stability is one of the main drawbacks of the time-sequential stereoscopic 3D display. In the present study, it was demonstrated that a videoluminance meter can be used to rapidly and easily check the quality of such display. A dedicated pattern was applied to simultaneously check the effect of the grey level on the other eye and the effect of the temporal synchronization. The results were compared with those provided by a temporal model of the display, which was obtained by measuring its temporal behavior. The visual impact of the grey-level instabilities was precisely quantified, and they were found to be a major source of imperfections for the aforementioned display.

This article aims at presenting multi objective optimization of parameters that affect crashworthiness characteristics of bi-tubular structures using Taguchi method with grey relational analysis. To design the experiments, the $L_9$ orthogonal array has been used and based on that, the inner tubes have been fabricated by varying the three influence factors such as reference diameter, length difference and numbers of sides of the polygon with three levels, but all the outer cylinders have the same diameter and length 90 mm and 135 mm respectively. Then, the tailor made bi-tubular steel structures were subjected into quasi static axial compression. From the test results it is found that the crushing behaviors of bi-tubular structures with different combinations were fairly significant. The important responses (crashworthiness indicators) specific energy absorption and crush force efficiency have been evaluated from load - displacement curve. Finally optimal levels of parameters were identified using grey relational analysis, and significance of parameters was determined by analysis of variance. The optimum crashworthiness parameters are reference diameter 80 mm, length difference 0 mm and number of sides of polygon is 3, i.e., triangle within the selected nine bi-tube combinations.

The progress of periodontal disease and the wound healing process after treatment result in alveolar bone bone change. So, detection of it is very important in the diagnosis and the radiograph of periodontal disease. Various effects have been made to assess the subtle alveolar bone change and digital subtraction radiography (DSR) has been reported to be the best method in evaluating it qualitatively and quantitatively. The present study was performed to estimate the detectable alveolar bone change qualitatively with digital subtraction radiography. For the in vitro study, 10 intraoral standard radiographs were taken from porcine dry mandible which a rectangular cortical bone chip of 0.1mm to 1.0mm thickness with 0.1mm increment was attached on the buccal surface. The radiographs without and with bone plates were reviewed at the same time by 10 observers and requested to detect the presence of cortical bone plates. Digital Subtraction radiograph was reviewed subsequently by using the DSR system(digital converter-256 grey-levels,DT 2851,Data Translation Co., U.S.A;IBM 386 ; CCD camera, FOTOVIX, Tamrom Co., Japan). The detectable thickness of cortical bone plate was O.4mm on the intraoral radiograph and 0.2mm on the subtaction images. For the human study, radiographs were taken from patients by using intraoral film holding device and aluminum reference wedge before and 3 month after bone graft and 1 week after osteoplasty. The grey level change was estimated in the subtraction images and calculated to aluminum equivalent thickness. The grey level of the grafted site was higher that that of healthy controls. Average grey levels of change on healthy controls were O.48mm aluminum equivalent. However, the amount of changes in grafted sites were 1.87mm aluminum thickness equivalent and in the site of osteoplasty were -1.49mm aluminum thickness equivalent. In conclusion, digital subtraction radiography was more effective in detecting as subtle change of alveolar bone than intraoral standard radiography. With the aid of quantitative analysis of digital subtraction radiography, alveolar bone resorption of apposition can be estimated during diagnosis and treatment of periodontally diseased patients.

Image display is the last step of imaging chain in which the diagnostic information is transformed into perceivable intensities and transformed to observer's eye-brain system. In this process, a certain part of information may be efficiently transfered and another part may be inefficiently transfered leading to information loss. In this study, the visual perceptual properties of image display on CRT monitor has been investigated. Psychophysical experiment of target image detection has been performed using CRT monitor for various background grey levels, and the threshold difference grey levels required for visual discrimination have been predicted by computer simulation with visual model.

본 논문에서는 진폭 변조와 펄스 폭 변조를 모두 사용하는 새로운 AMOLED 디스플레이 구동 방식을 개발하였다. 펄스 폭 변조를 위해서 다섯 개의 서브 프레임으로 화상 프레임을 나누었고 진폭 변조를 위해 TFT 게이트 전압에 의해 제어되는 3가지의 OLED 휘도(전류) 레벨을 사용하였다. 이 두 종류의 변조를 조합하여 35(=243) 계조를 얻었다. 그리고 DAC를 사용하지 않고 2개의 쉬프트 레지스터를 갖는 새로운 데이터 전극 구동 회로를 설계하였다. 회로 동작은 6㎛ 채널 길이 다결정 TFT의 전류-전압 특성에서 추출된 TFT 파라미터를 이용한 HSpice 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과로부터 320×240, 이중 스캔, 243 계조 AMOLED 디스플레이를 구현할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Chromatin texture, which partly reflects nuclear organization, is evolving as an important parameter indicating cell activation or transformation. In this study, chromatin pattern was evaluated by image analysis of the electron micrographs of follicular and papillary carcinoma cells of the thyroid gland and tested for discrimination of the two neoplasms. Digital grey images were converted from the electron micrographs, nuclear images, excluding nucleolus and intranuclear cytoplasmic inclusions, were obtained by segmentation; grey levels were standardized; and grey level histograms were generated. The histograms in follicular carcinoma showed Gaussian or near-Gaussian distribution and had a single peak, whereas those in papillary carcinoma had two peaks(bimodal), one at the black zone and the other at the white zone. In papillary carcinoma, the peak in the black zone represented an increased amount of heterochromatin particles and that at the white zone represented decreased electron density of euchromatin or nuclear matrix. These results indicate that the nuclei of follicular and papillary carcinoma cells differ in their chromatin pattern and the difference may be due to decondensed chromatin and/or matrix substances.
