  • In the spatial image composition of a cathedral, light is the most important element of changing the mind through vision. The religious meaning of light and its impact on human sensibility are believed to be very large. Therefore, in this study, 'Illuminance' is the most important research subject of a cathedral's worship space lighting plan elements. Illuminance is expressed by giving the clarity and form of space through a subtle spatial composition difference. The role of illuminance is essential for confirming the existence of space, and lighting controls the spatial atmosphere at an appropriate level. The standard and range of illuminance are set through the synthesis and analysis of related standards. Based on this, a related case study was conducted on cathedrals built in the Gangnam area of Seoul in the 1980s. The lighting-related factors were analyzed and the illuminance of the liturgical space and worship area were measured. The appropriate level of applicability was confirmed by comparison analysis. A plan for the illuminance application levels and elements applied in the cathedral lighting design is proposed.

  • This paper presents a novel approach for facial motion tracking and facial expression cloning to create a realistic facial animation of a 3D avatar. The exact head pose estimation and facial expression tracking are critical issues that must be solved when developing vision-based computer animation. In this paper, we deal with these two problems. The proposed approach consists of two phases: dynamic head pose estimation and facial expression cloning. The dynamic head pose estimation can robustly estimate a 3D head pose from input video images. Given an initial reference template of a face image and the corresponding 3D head pose, the full head motion is recovered by projecting a cylindrical head model onto the face image. It is possible to recover the head pose regardless of light variations and self-occlusion by updating the template dynamically. In the phase of synthesizing the facial expression, the variations of the major facial feature points of the face images are tracked by using optical flow and the variations are retargeted to the 3D face model. At the same time, we exploit the RBF (Radial Basis Function) to deform the local area of the face model around the major feature points. Consequently, facial expression synthesis is done by directly tracking the variations of the major feature points and indirectly estimating the variations of the regional feature points. From the experiments, we can prove that the proposed vision-based facial expression cloning method automatically estimates the 3D head pose and produces realistic 3D facial expressions in real time.

  • A series of random copolymers, composed of 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluoro decyl methacrylate (FDMA) as a $CO_2$-philic monomer and tert-butyl methacrylate (TBMA) as an acid labile monomer, were synthesized by free radical polymerization. The solubility of copolymers in carbon dioxide, light sensitivity at 365 nm exposure, and photoresist pattern formation properties were investigated. Furthermore, sub micron-sized poly(styrenesulfonate) : poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PSS : PEDOT) conducting polymer patterns were successfully prepared by pattern transfer.

  • It is significant to simulate scattering of light within media for realistic image synthesis; however, this requires costly computation. This paper introduces a practical image-space approximation technique for interactive subsurface scattering. We use a general two-pass approach, which creates transmitted irradiance samples onto shadow maps and computes illumination using the shadow maps. We estimate single scattering efficiently using a method similar to common shadow mapping with adaptive deterministic sampling. A hierarchical technique is applied to evaluate multiple scattering, based on a diffusion theory. We further accelerate rendering speed by tabulating complex functions and utilizing level of detail. We demonstrate that our technique produces high-quality images of animated scenes with blurred shadow at hundreds frames per second on graphics hardware. It can be integrated into existing interactive systems easily.

  • Although face recognition and face generation have been growing in popularity, the privacy issues of using facial images in the wild have been a concurrent topic. In this paper, we propose a face editing network that can reduce privacy issues by generating face images with various properties from a small number of real face images and facial mask information. Unlike the existing methods of learning face attributes using a lot of real face images, the proposed method generates new facial images using a facial segmentation mask and texture images from five parts as styles. The images are then trained with our network to learn the styles and locations of each reference image. Once the proposed framework is trained, we can generate various face images using only a small number of real face images and segmentation information. In our extensive experiments, we show that the proposed method can not only generate new faces, but also localize facial attribute editing, despite using very few real face images.

  • A series of photoreactive mesogens based on chalcone were prepared and their morphological behavior and reactivity were studied according to a variable number of alkyloxy tail carbons. The linear ester compounds 3a-h comprised two chalcone units connected to a benzene ring through ester linkages. All linear ester compounds showed enantiotropic liquid crystalline phases. The X-ray diffractograms for the mesophases of compounds 3a-h showed a set of reflections in the small-angle region which consisted of more than three sharp diffraction peaks with d spacings in the ratio of 1:1/2:1/3, confirming the well defined smectic A structures of the compounds. Compounds 3a-h were considered to be bifunctional monomers due to the presence of two photoreactive chalcone groups. Upon UV irradiation, its polymerization proceeded through the [2+2] addition reaction between chalcone units in a stepwise manner. An image pattern was obtained by the photopolymerization of the liquid crystal of the compound (3h) with decyloxy tails through a photomask. The irradiated part became dark while the masked part remained birefringent under polarized optical microscopy, which was ascribed to the production via the UV irradiation of a polymer or a dimer having cyclobutane rings by [2+2] addition, which thereby disrupted the alignment of the molecules.

  • 본 논문에서는 가상 시점 생성 시 발생하는 홀 영역의 메움 기법에 관하여 기하학적 제약조건을 이용한 예제 기반 영상 인페인팅 기술을 제안한다. 생성된 가상 시점이 실제 카메라들의 중간에 위치하는 경우, 이 때 발생하는 홀 영역은 시점 간 보상으로 메울 수 있다. 하지만, 가상 시점이 실제 카메라들의 Field-of-View를 벗어난 경우에는 홀 영역에 대한 정보가 없기 때문에 이를 메우는데 어려운 문제가 따른다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안한 방법은 예제 기반의 영상 인페인팅 기술을 이용하여 홀 영역을 메운다. 제안한 방법은 홀 영역의 기하학적 특성을 제약조건으로 우선순위(Priority)를 계산한다. 최적의 패치를 찾기 위해 컬러 정보뿐만 아니라 깊이 정보(Depth)를 활용한다. 또한, 전경 물체의 텍스쳐로 인하여 잘못된 패치가 선택되는 문제를 해결하기 위해 적응적으로 패치 크기를 변경한다. 실험 결과에서 제안한 방법은 일반적인 홀 메움 방식과 비교하여 객관적 평가와 주관적 평가 모두에서 시각적으로 우수한 결과를 보여주었다.

  • Hemoglobin was purified from the outdated human red blood cells. Phospholipids were purified from egg yolk and stored in chloroform. The artificial red blood cells (hemosome) were prepared by encapsulation of hemoglobin with phospholipid mutilayer using rotary vacuum evaporator. The shape and size of hemosomes were measured by phase contrast microscope and image analyzer. The function of hemosomes was tested by measuring oxygen dissociation curve using blood gas analyzer. In order to test whether hemosomes are useful as blood substitute they were infused into rats of which one third of total blood were drawn. The results obtained are summarized at followings. 1) Hemosomes were spherical shape and their mean diameter was 0.7 um. 2) Oxygen dissociation curve of hemosomes showed the same figure as that of normal red blood cells. 3) All rats given 1/3 transfusion with hemosomes survived until sacrificed whereas three of four rats given 1/3 transfusion with saline died within 1 hour and the rest of them died within 24 hours.
