Daylighting systems can improve the luminous quality of indoor environment and reduce the building's electric lighting energy consumption. For designing good daylighting, place the light where it is desired and avoid excessive contrasts, glare and high light levels. Sun scoop, light scoop and sun catcher systems have been used for alternative systems compared to other natural lighting systems. This study aims to evaluate daylighting performance of sun scoop, light scoop and sun catcher systems using scale model experiments. For the purpose, the 1/10 scale models of the systems were made as the same areas of glazing(10 percent of floor area) on the top of the center roof. Totally 15 measuring points of illuminance on the horizontal work plane were monitored from 09:30 to 12:30 on October 29, 2007. Agilent data logger and photometric sensors Li-cor were used. As the results, the topside lighting systems can improve the illumination uniformity than side lighting and top lighting. However, the appropriated shading system should be integrated to prevent the direct sunlight.

In this paper, a low bitrate video coding method based on new panoramic modeling is proposed for panning cameras. An input video frame from a panning camera is decomposed into a background image, rectangular moving object regions, and a residual image. In coding the background, we employ a panoramic model that can account for several image formation processes, such as perspective projection, lens distortion, vignetting and illumination effects. Moving objects aredetected, and their minimum bounding rectangular regions are coded with a JPEG-2000 coder. We have evaluated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm with several indoor and outdoor sequences and found that the PSNR is improved by $1.3{\sim}4.4dB$ compared to that of JPEG-2000.

Multi-view function is important to three-dimensional displays without dedicated glasses. It is the reason that the observers earnestly desire to change their positions freely. Multi-viewing is also principal to the reality of three-dimensional (3D) image displayed on the screen. The display of projection type has the advantage that the number of viewing points can be easily increased according to the number of projectors. The authors research on multi-view projection display with hologram screen. Powerful directionality of the diffracted beam from hologram screen is required unlike two-dimensional (2D) display. We developed a new method that all diffracted beams satisfied the same Bragg condition and became sufficiently bright to observe the 3D image under usual indoor light. The principle is based on the essential Bragg diffraction in the three-dimensional space. Owing to such three-dimensional Bragg diffraction we achieved an excellent hologram screen that could be multiple reconstructed in spite of single recording. This hologram screen is able to answer arbitrary numbers of viewing points within wide viewing zone. The distortion of 3D image becomes also sufficiently small with the method of dividing the cross angle between illumination and diffraction beam.

There are numerous studies on relations between sleep and environmental factors such as noise, illumination and thermal conditions. Sleep is affected by the thermal environment. This study describes influence of thermal environment on skin temperature, sleep patterns and body movements using physiological and psychological measurements. The results are as follows: 1) The fluctuations of room temperature during sleep appeared skin temperature variations. The more room temperature is high, the more skin temperature is high in 22$^{\circ}C$, 26$^{\circ}C$, 30$^{\circ}C$. 2) A significant relation between body movement and skin temperature was found within room temperature. Under room temperature conditions of 22$^{\circ}C$, 26$^{\circ}C$, 30$^{\circ}C$, there were significantly higher rates of body movement in the room temperature(30$^{\circ}C$). 3) Uncomfortable after sleep in thermal environment is mostly under high temperature(30$^{\circ}C$), and they are about fatigue due to not enough sleeping. 4) The degree of indoor thermal temperature with sufficient sleeping is in 22.8 ∼ 27.8$^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, we propose the robust object detection algorithm with spatial gradient information. To do this, first, we eliminate error values that appear due to complex environment and various illumination change by using prior methods based on hue and intensity from the input video and background. Visible shadows are eliminated from the foreground by using an RGB color model and a qualified RGB color model. And unnecessary values are eliminated by using the HSI color model. The background is removed completely from the foreground leaving a silhouette to be restored using spatial gradient and HSI color model. Finally, we validate the applicability of the proposed method using various indoor and outdoor conditions in a complex environments.

LED is expected as an environmentally friendly next generation light source with its good reliability and long lifetime. The light sources for illumination have a variety of applications in the indoor and outdoor, and the variation of optical power and color rendering of the light source limits their applications. Therefore, it is necessary to research the LED lamp and its luminaire to minimize the variation of dynamic characteristics and to improve the color rendering due to that illuminating environment. Daylight is very good light source to human and can be used as primary or a secondary light source with benefits of energy, productivity and health.This paper presents the design method of LED lighting system to improve poor property in terms of CR(color redering) characteristic to use daylight effectively.

The assessment of the light trespass in terms of light pollution is difficult due to the complexity of light environments. As a result, the light pollution research has examined the influences of light pollution using simulation program such as RELUX. However, there still exists a differences between the real measurement value and the simulation value for the light trespass. In this paper, we analyzed the light trespass using the RELUX simulation program, and compared results with real measurement values. In this study, the regions (Seoul, Incheon, etc.) were investigated regarding the light trespass for outdoor lighting. The survey of vertical illuminance was analyzed measuring point (more than 2 point) out the window that was expected to light trespass for the higher anticipated to illumination. The illuminational predicted values for the RELUX program were compared with maximum one. As a result of this study, the illuminational errors between the measurement values and predicted values for the simulation were examined from -0.97 lx to 0.65 lx except 2.08 lx and -7.70 lx. The light trespass was analyzed the higher by how much the located close to the height, length, width of the outdoor lighting for the window. For measuring predicted values using RELUX, it was not sufficiently considered in the simulation conditions because of environmental factors and investigator error etc. Limitations of this study include the limited number of measurements, and greater field data is required in future studies.

In image-based gait recognition systems, physical factors, such as the camera angle and the lens distortion, and environmental factors such as illumination determines the performance of recognition. In this paper we present a robust gait recognition method by compensating various types of image distortions. The proposed method is compared with existing gait recognition algorithm with consideration of both physical and environmental distortion factors in the input image. More specifically, we first present an efficient compensation algorithm of image distortion by using the projective transform, and test the feasibility of the proposed algorithm by comparing the recognition performances with and without the compensation process. Proposed method gives universal gait data which is invariant to both distance and environment. Gained data improved gait recognition rate about 41.5% in indoor image and about 55.5% in outdoor image. Proposed method can be used effectively in database(DB) construction, searching and tracking of specific objects.
