Luminance and contrast ratio is one of the most fundamental and important parameters of plasma display panel. Understanding the effects of cell design parameters on the display and background luminance is inevitable for improving the contrast ratio. We report the experimental results on the relationships between cell parameters and contrast ratio of the ac PDP driven by ADS scheme. It was found that the contrast ratio is the most significantly affected by rib height and optimum range of the rib height simultaneously affects the facing discharge during the reset periods, diffusion loss of plasma and shadowing of the visible light emitted from phosphor.

User's characteristics on the screen adjustment of color TV were studied. Two experiments were performed. In the first experiment, the characteristic of screen adjustment according to TV program, ambient luminance, and gender was investigated. Twenty subjects (10 females and 10 males) were participated in this experiment. Set points of brightness, contrast, tint, and color were measured on TV screen and analyzed. Brightness and contrast were significant on gender at significant level 0.01 and color was significant on gender at significant level 0.1. Tint was significant on program at significant level 0.01. The second experiment was performed to supplement the first experiment. The influences of ambient luminance, presented image, screen setting criteria, and gender were investigated. We simplified the first experiment in the second one. We restricted dependent variables (screen control variables) to only two, brightness and contrast. Other control variables were fixed to middle values. Brightness and contrast were significant on gender and screen setting criteria at significant level 0.01. In conclusion, we found that ambient luminance and presented image had no significant effects on TV screen adjustment and TV program had only a significant effect on tint. However, we found that gender and screen setting criteria had significant effects in most conditions.

Haze is an extreme reason of the reduction of contrast when capturing image in the outdoor. Recently, there are several single image dehazing techniques, but they are not robust in dynamic variations of natural environment caused by the thickness, coverage of haze and appearance of sunlight. In this paper, we propose an effective and robust method to enhance luminance for image dehazing depending on histogram analysis. Compare with conventional methods, our proposal have better performance in term of contrast, and computation time.

본 논문에서는 얼굴의 밝기와 색상 정보를 함께 이용한 합성곱 신경망 기반의 얼굴 위변조 검출 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 적층된 합성곱 신경망과 보조 신경망을 이용하여 실제 얼굴과 위변조된 얼굴의 밝기 특징과 색상 특징을 독립적으로 추출한다. 기존의 방법과는 달리, 본 논문에서는 추출된 특징을 단순 결합(Concatenation)하는 것이 아니라 주의 모듈(Attention Module)을 이용하여 적응적(Adaptively)으로 조합할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한, 효과적인 분류기 학습을 위하여 대비 손실함수(Contrast Loss Function)를 새롭게 제안하였는데, 대비 손실함수는 동일 클래스 내의 특징 간의 차이는 최소화 시키고 서로 다른 클래스의 특징 간의 차이는 최대화 시킴으로써 특징의 분별력을 높인다. 다양한 실험을 통해 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법이 기존 얼굴 위변조 검출 방법 대비 개선된 성능을 보임을 확인하고 그 결과를 분석한다.

HDR (high dynamic range) 영상을 LDR (low dynamic range) 영상으로 변환할 때 톤 맵핑 (tone mapping) 과정은 필수적이다. 많은 TMO (tone mapping operator)는 인간 시각 시스템의 특성들을 모방하여 발달되어 왔고 그 중 가장 대표적인 시각 특성이 국부 순응 방식이다. 그러나 TMO는 밝기나 명암, 채도 등의 영상 정보들을 압축하여 LDR 영상으로 대응시키기 때문에 압축에 의한 화질 저하가 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 TMO에 의한 화질 저하 보상을 위해 인간 시각의 선명도 특성을 기저 및 세부 영상 분할 처리에 적용하여 휘도 적응적 에지 보존 함수를 제안했다. 또한, 인간 시각 시스템에서 공간 주파수와 대비 민감도 사이의 관계를 나타내는 CSF (contrast sensitivity function)를 이용하여 선명화 필터를 설계하고, 이를 배경 휘도에 따라 적응적으로 적용하였다.

PURPOSES : The current practice in car headlight visibility performance evaluation is based on the luminous intensity and illuminance of headlight. Such practice can be inappropriate from a visibility point of view where visibility indicates abilities to perceive an object ahead on the road. This study aimed at evaluating the appropriateness of current headlight evaluation method. METHODS : This study measured the luminance of object and road surface at unlit roadways. The variables were measured by vehicle type and by headlight lamp type. Based on the measurements, the distance where drivers can perceive an object ahead was calculated and then compared against such distance obtained by conventional visibility performance evaluation. RESULTS : The evaluation method based on illuminance of headlight is not appropriate when viewed from the visibility concept that is based on object-perceivable distance. Further, the results indicated a shorter object-perceiving distance even when road surface luminance is higher, thereby suggesting that illuminance of headlight and luminance of road surface are not the representative indices of nighttime visibility. CONCLUSIONS : Considering that this study utilized limited vehicle types and that road surface (background) luminance can vary depending on the characteristics of the given road surface, it would likely go too far to argue that this study's visibility performance evaluation results can get generalized to other conditions. Regardless, there is little doubt that the current performance evaluation criterion which is based on illuminance, is unreasonable. There should be future endeavors on the current subject which will need to explore study conditions further, under which more experiments should be conducted and effective methodologies developed for evaluating automotive headlight visibility performance. Needs are recognized particularly in the development of headlight visibility performance evaluation methodology which will take into account road surface (background) luminance and luminance contrast from various perspectives as the former indicates the driver's perception of the front road alignment and the latter being indicative of object perception performance.

PURPOSES : This study has been performed with the objective to determine threshold zone luminance of adaptation luminance by target safety level in a vehicular traffic tunnel with design speed set at 100km/h. METHODS : The study made a miniature capable of portraying changes in luminance distribution within $2{\times}10^{\circ}$ conical field of view of the driver approaching to the tunnel for the test. Test conditions were set based on justifications for CIE 88-1990's threshold zone luminance used as a reference by domestic tunnel light standards (KS C 3703 : 2010). Luminance contrast of object background and object is 23%, object presentation duration is 0.5 seconds, and size of the object background is $7.3{\times}11.5m^2$ RESULTS : Threshold zone luminance was set within adaptation luminance of $100{\sim}3,000cd/m^2$. Adaptation luminance and threshold zone luminance based on 50%, 75% and 90% target safety level all showed a relatively high linear relationship. According to findings in the study, it is not appropriate to specify the relationship between adaptation luminance and threshold zone luminance as luminance ratio. Rather, direct utilization of the linear relationship gained from the study findings appears to be the better solution. CONCLUSIONS : Findings of this study may be used to determine operation of threshold zone luminance based on target safety level. However, a proper verification and validity of test results are required. Furthermore, a study to determine proper threshold zone luminance level considering target safety level reviewed in this study and various decision-making factors such as economic conditions in Korea and energy-related policies should be carried out in addition. Additional tests on adaptation luminance greater than $3,000cd/m^2$ will be performed, through which application scope of the test findings will be broadened.

We have developed a high-contrast ambient-light rejection projection screen with surface micro-structures for front and rear projection displays with an oblique-angle projector. We have fabricated prototype screens that show a better than $10{\times}$ improvement in contrast compared to a matte-white screen under various ambient lighting conditions and screen luminance.
