In this paper. we propose a novel auto white balance algorithm which is one of the representative functions on cameras. White balance is the process of removing unrealistic color casts, which will make the captured white objects appear white. For white balance, we employ $CIEL^*a^*b^*$ color space which is the most complete color model available and is conventionally used to describe all the colors visible to the human eye and estimate the color difference on white objects with distribution of the image which is called the reference white estimation. For accuracy, we form groups or sets of pixels that are altered by the light sources and other elements. Moreover, Standard group is decided by judgment of specific-case images with the information of groups. Then, the reference white estimation is performed by the color sampling which is to choose all the accumulated pixels contained within the standard group. The color gain for image compensation by considering the color saturation is also computed. the proposed algorithm provides a significant performance.

Color image is largely corrupted by various ambient illumination. However, human perceives always white color as white under any illumination because of a characteristic of human vision, called color constancy. In the conventional algorithm which applied the constancy effect, after the RGB color space is transformed to the IHS(Intensity, Hue, and Saturation) color space, then the hue is preserved and the intensity or the saturation is properly enhanced. Then the enhanced IHS color is reversely transformed to the RGB color space. In this process, the color distortion is included due to the color gamut error. But in the proposed algorithm, there is not transformation. In that, the RGB color is considered as 3 dimensional color vector and we assume that white color is the natural daylight. As the color vector of the illumination can be calculated as the average vector of R, G, and B image, we can achieve the constancy effect by simply rotating the illumination vector to the white color vector. The simulation results show the efficiency of the vector rotating process for color image enhancement.

Using stellar population synthesis techniques, we explore the photometric signatures of white dwarf progenitor dominated galactic halos, in order to constrain the fraction of halo mass that may be locked-up in white dwarf stellar remnants. We first construct a 10＾9 M_sun stellar halo using the canonical Salpeter initial stellar mass distribution, and then allow for an additional component of low-and intermediate-mass stars, which ultimately give rise to white dwarf remnants.

The Fourier transform plays a central role in the theory of distribution on Euclidean spaces. Although Lebesgue measure does not exist in infinite dimensional spaces, the Fourier transform can be introduced in the space $(S)^*$ of generalized white noise functionals. This has been done in the series of paper by H.-H. Kuo [1, 2, 3], [4] and [5]. The Fourier transform $F$ has many properties similar to the finite dimensional case; e.g., the Fourier transform carries coordinate differentiation into multiplication and vice versa. It plays an essential role in the theory of differential equations in infinite dimensional spaces.

The white noise analysis, initiated by Hida [3] in 1975, has been developed to an infinite dimensional distribution theory on Gaussian space $(E^*, \mu)$ as an infinite dimensional analogue of Schwartz distribution theory on Euclidean space with Legesgue measure. The mathematical framework of white noise analysis is the Gel'fand triple $(E) \subset (L^2) \subset (E)^*$ over $(E^*, \mu)$ where $\mu$ is the standard Gaussian measure associated with a Gel'fand triple $E \subset H \subset E^*$.

With the recent development of the 4th Industrial Revolution, efforts have been made to carry out communication in a smart factory, farm, etc. at low cost and reliably. Methods for utilizing empty frequencies using TVWS(TV White Space) have been studied which can be used locally within 30 km. However, there have not been many studies on Path-Loss model considering Korean environment. In this paper, the Path-Loss model is divided into LOS (Line Of Sight) and NLOS (None LOS). In case of LOS model, we checked the difference between Free space model, Friis model, 2-ray model and Hata model with measured data. In the case of NLOS model, we checked the difference between Lee Model, ITU-R526-3 Model with measured data. In order to overcome the difference in Korean environment, we derived a model that can be applied in LOS and NLOS and prove its usefulness through performance evaluation through simulation.

Geo-location white space spectrum databases (GL-WSDBs) are currently the preferred technique for enabling spectrum sharing between primary users and secondary users or white space devices (WSDs) in the very-high frequency (VHF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) bands. This is true because technologies for making low-cost WSDs capable of autonomous sensing and detection of available white space (WS) spectrum are not yet feasible. This paper reviews the necessary enabling technical conditions to allow coexistence of primary and secondary systems in the VHF and UHF spectrum through a GL-WSDB approach. The practical implementation of South Africa's first GL-WSDB was performed. Results of WS channels available from five cities in South Africa calculated from the implemented GL-WSDB was compared with a commercially available GL-WSDB and was found to be 68% similar. Additionally, results from the implemented GL-WSDB were compared with measurements obtained from field spectrum scanning campaigns at two different locations in Cape Town, South Africa, and was found to be 64% similar.

FCC(Federal Communications Commission 미국 연방통신위원회)는 2008년 11월 스펙트럼 사용 효율을 높이고 새로운 서비스 도입을 용이하게 하기 위해 TV White Spaces를 대상으로 주파수 공유 기술인 Cognitive Radio 기술을 적용하기로 하고 관련 규정을 개정하였다. FCC는 TV White Spaces에서 고정 서비스와 개인/휴대서비스기기 사용을 허용하기로 방침을 정하고 2009년 5월 12일 DTV 전환 완료 이후 관련 기기 사용을 허용하기로 하였다. 본 논문에서는 FCC의 법규 개정 현황과 함께 이를 기술적으로 뒷받침하기 위한 IEEE 802.22, TV White Spaces ECSG, ECMA에서의 표준화 동향을 설명하고, 핵심 기술로서 스펙트럼 센싱 기술, 무선자원관리 기술, PHY/MAC 관련 기술 개발 동향에 대해 요약 기술하였다.

For efficient utilization of spectrum resources in TV white space after DTV transition, FCC allowed usage of the spectrum for CR system. The CR system is required to cognize channel usage state for utilizing the unused spectrum in TV white space which coexists various primary and secondary systems. In the meantime, as a demand for high throughput communication had been increased recently, CR systems also consider to adopt channel bonding technology, thus spectrum sensing for channel bonded system is essentially required. In this paper, we propose a novel spectrum sensing algorithm for channel bonding system using a single channel receiver. For IEEE 802.l1af signal, the proposed algorithm provide detection probability of 90% with false alarm probability 10% at SNR -18dB for single channel system and at SNR -7dB for 8 channel bonded system, respectively. Utilizing the proposed scheme, we can detect channel bonded signal using only a single receiver, therefore system overhead for spectrum sensing can be reduced significantly.

Recently, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications(MIC) of Japan announced the policies for effective use of spectrum in the 2010s based on the developments of spectrum usage technology, at the same time resolving the social issues in Japan. In Aug. 2010, the establishment of "special white space areas" was suggested to promote the systematization of white space, and a prior model for actualizing the suggestion was published. Also, Action Plan for the frequency reorganization toward building wireless broadband. This paper investigates the future image of the services and systems in the 2010s and surveys the background of the implementing radio wave policy, the major strategy and the policy directions published by MIC of Japan. The contents suggested by this paper contribute to formulating domestic spectrum policies and to promoting the usage and application of spectrum.
