HDR(high dynamic range) 영상 기법은 일반 카메라에서 획득되는 영상의 LDR(low dynamic range)의 한계를 극복하는 방법을 일컫는다. 일반적으로 이 기법은 카메라의 노출에 따른 단계별 LDR 영상들을 획득하고 통합함으로써 획득된다. 그러나 기존의 연구에서는 여러 번에 걸친 영상획득 과정이 필요하고 그에 따른 고스트(ghost) 현상을 야기한다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위하여, 본 연구에서는 센서에서 획득되는 단일 Bayer 영상으로부터 사용자가 요구하는 노출의 LDR 영상을 채널상관성을 고려하여 추정할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 먼저 입 출력 간의 상관관계를 나타내는 노출(exposure) look-up table(LUT)를 각 채널별로 생성을 한다. 그리고 입력 영상의 평균휘도와 노출을 LUT에 적용하여, 최종 LDR 영상을 위한 새로운 노출을 추정한다. 다음으로 입력 영상의 각 픽셀 값과 추정된 노출을 LUT에 적용함으로써 목적하는 밝기를 가지는 LDR 영상을 추정 할 수 있다. 이 때, 포화된 영역의 경우는 채널의 상관성을 고려하여 추정함으로써 실제 노출로 획득한 영상과의 차이를 줄이는 방법을 제안하였다. 결과영상은 PSNR을 비교하여 정확성을 증명하였으며, 또한 디스플레이를 위하여 톤맵핑(tone mapping)을 적용한 영상을 사용한 비교에서 실제 획득된 영상과 추정한 영상의 차이가 비슷함을 확인하였다.

The role of radiology department has been greatly increased in the past few years as the technology in the medical imaging devices improved and the introduction of PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System) to the conventional film-based diagnostic structure is a truly remarkable factor to the medical history. In addition, the value of using digital information in medical imaging is highly expected to grow as the technology over the computer and the network improves. However, the current medical practice, using PACS is somewhat limited compared to the film-based conventional one due to a poor image quality. The image quality is the most important and inevitable factor in the PACS environment and it is one of the most necessary steps to more wide practice of digital imaging. The existing image quality control tools are limited in controlling images produced from the medical modalities, because they cannot display the real image changing status. Thus, the image quality is distorted and the ability to diagnosis becomes hindered compared to the one of the film-based practice. In addition, the workflow of the radiologist greatly increases; as every doctor has to perform his or her own image quality control every time they view images produced from the medical modalities. To resolve these kinds of problems and enhance current medical practice under the PACS environment, we have developed a program to display a better image quality by using the ROI optical density of the existing gray level values. When the LUT is used properly, small detailed regions, which cannot be seen by using the existing image quality controls are easily displayed and thus, greatly improves digital medical practice. The purpose of this study is to provide an easier medical practice to physicians, by applying the technology of converting the H-D curves of the analog film screen to the digital imaging technology and to preset image quality control values to each exposed body part, modality and group of physicians for a better and easier medical practice. We have asked to 5 well known professional physicians to compare image quality of the same set of exam by using the two different methods: existing image quality control and the LUT technology. As the result, the LUT technology was enormously favored over the existing image quality control method. All the physicians have pointed out the far more superiority of the LUT over the existing image quality control method and highly praised its ability to display small detailed regions, which cannot be displayed by existing image quality control tools. Two physicians expressed the necessity of presetting the LUT values for each exposed body part. Overall, the LUT technology yielded a great interest among the physicians and highly praised for its ability to overcome currently embedded problems of PACS. We strongly believe that the LUT technology can enhance the current medical practice and open a new beginning in the future medical imaging.

본 논문에서는 기존의 픽셀 기반 방식과 블록 기반 방식의 개념을 도입하여 영상의 인증과 무결성을 위한 새로운 블록 연성 워터마킹을 제안하였다. 제안 방식은 원 영상의 각 픽셀과 해당 블록의 정보로 LUT(Look Up Table)을 선택하여 원 영상을 이진화 한 값과 워터마크를 비교하여 원 영상을 수정하면서 워터마크를 삽입하였다. 그 결과 기존 방식의 약점으로 지적된 collage 공격 등을 방지하면서도 워터마크된 영상에서 워터마크인 이진로고를 추출하여 시각적으로 편리하게 소유권 확인과 변조 위치를 적셀 단위 또는 블록 단위로 검출할 수 있었다.

Colon cancer (CRC) is a serious health problem throughout the world. Development of novel drugs without side effects for this cancer is crucial. Luteolin (LUT), a bioflavonoid, has many beneficial effects such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative potential. was a potent chemical carcinogen used for the induction of colon cancer. Colon carcinogenesis was initiated by intraperitoneal injection of azoxymethane (AOM) to mice at the dose of 15 mg/body kg weight in Balb/C mice for 3 weeks. Mice were treated with LUT at the dose of 1.2 mg/body kg weight orally. Mitochondrial enzymes such as isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH), ${\alpha}$-keto dehydrogenase (${\alpha}$-KDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and the activities of respiratory chain enzymes NADH dehydrogenase and cytochrome c oxidase were found to be elevated in AOM-treated animals. Treatment with LUT decreased the activities of all the parameters significantly. Hence, LUT might be a potent anticancer agent against colorectal cancer.

This paper proposes a PMSM torque control method considering DC-link voltage variation and friction torque. In general EV/HEV application, two dimensions look-up table(2D-LUT) is used for reference current generation due to its stable and robust torque control performance. Conventionally, this 2D-LUT is established by flux-torque table to overcome the DC-link voltage variation. However, the flux table establishment is more complex than the speed table establishment. Moreover, one flux data reflects several speed conditions in variable DC-link voltage, friction torque cannot be considered by using the flux table. In this paper, speed-torque 2D-LUT is used for current reference generation. With this table, PMSM torque control is well achieved regardless of DC-link voltage variation by the proposed control method. Simulation and experimental results validate improvement of torque control error through friction torque compensation.

In this paper, a new approach is proposed for the efficient generation of computer-generated holograms (CGHs) using the spatially redundant data on a 3D object and the novel look-up table (N-LUT) method. First, the pre-calculated N-point principle fringe patterns (PFPs) were calculated using the 1-point PFP of the N-LUT. Second, spatially redundant data on a 3D object were extracted and re-grouped into the N-point redundancy map using the run-length encoding (RLE) method. Then CGH patterns were generated using the spatial redundancy map and the N-LUT method. Finally, the generated hologram patterns were reconstructed. In this approach, the object points that were involved in the calculation of the CGH patterns were dramatically reduced, due to which the computational speed was increased. Some experiments with a test 3D object were carried out and the results were compared with those of conventional methods.

The Davey-MacKay construction is a promising concatenated coding scheme involving an outer $2^k$-ary code and an inner code of rate k/n, for insertion-deletion-substitution channels. Recently, a lookup table (LUT)-based inner decoder for this coding scheme was proposed to reduce the computational complexity of the inner decoder, albeit at the expense of a slight degradation in word error rate (WER) performance. In this letter, we show that negligible deterioration in WER performance can be achieved with an LUT as small as $7{\cdot}2^{k+n-1}$, but no smaller, when the probability of receiving less than n-1 or greater than n+1 bits corresponding to one outer code symbol is at least an order of magnitude smaller than the WER when no LUT is used.

Recently, the flatbed scanner is widely used to input color original copy in printing industry. In the process of RGB-to-CMY transformation for the scanned colors using the look-up table(LUT) based on the color gamut of the actual output device, however, the problem that some colors in the original out of the gamut cannot be printed, may occur. In this study, another color transformation method applicable to any kind of originals using the new LUT with extended gamut based on the ideal output device, was examined and proposed.
