A WDM-PON has been considered as an ultimate solution for access networks. However, there were many technical and practical issues for commercial deployment. These issues were solved with wavelength locked F-P LD and the WDM-PONs employing this optical source were commercialized. These WDM-PON systems have been deployed in Korea, Europe, and US. We reviewed wavelength locking technology and WDM-PON achievements. When we inject spectrum sliced broadband light into an F-P LD, the multimode output is changed to a quasi single mode. Then, we can use the single mode light for WDM signal transmission. The broad spectral gain of the semiconductor gain medium enables a color-free operation of WDM-PON, i.e., an identical ONT can be used for each user. The wavelength locking properties depend on many parameters, especially alignment of injection wavelength to a lasing mode, passband profile of AWG and front facet reflectivity of F-P LD. However, these dependencies can be reduced by proper design of the laser and the injection bandwidth. Thus, WDM-PON systems have been achieved with color-free operation.

An eigen color co-occurrence approach is proposed that exploits the correlation between color channels to identify the degree of image similarity. This method is based on traditional co-occurrence matrix method and histogram equalization. On the purpose of feature extraction, eigen color co-occurrence matrices are computed for extracting the statistical relationships embedded in color images by applying Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on a set of color co-occurrence matrices, which are computed on the histogram equalized images. That eigen space is created with a set of orthogonal axes to gain the essential structures of color co-occurrence matrices, which is used to identify the degree of similarity to classify an input image to be tested for various purposes. In this paper RGB, Gaussian color space are compared with grayscale image in terms of PCA eigen features embedded in histogram equalized co-occurrence features. The experimental results are presented.

In this paper, an experiment was done where the input(scanner, digital still camera) and monitor(CRT, LCD) device used the linear multiple regression and the GOG (Gain-Offset-Gamma) characterization model to perform a color transformation. Also to color conversion method of the digital printer it used the LUT(Look Up Table), 3dimension linear interpolation and a tetrahedron interpolation method. The results are as follows. From color reappearance of digital printing case of monitor, the XYZ which it converts in linear multiple regression of input device it multiplied the inverse matrix, and then it applies the inverse GOG model and after color converting the patch of the result most which showed color difference below 5 at monitor RGB value. Also, The XYZ which is transmitted from the case input device which is a printer it makes at LAB value to convert an extreme, when the LAB value which is converted calculating the CMY with the LUT and tetrahedral interpolations the color conversion which considers the black quantity was more accurate.

From the perspective of reducing the sampling cost of color images at high resolution, block-based compressive sensing (CS) has attracted considerable attention as a promising alternative to conventional Nyquist/Shannon sampling. On the other hand, for storing/transmitting applications, CS requires a very efficient way of representing the measurement data in terms of data volume. This paper addresses this problem by developing a measurement-coding method with the proposed customized Huffman coding. In addition, by noting the difference in visual importance between the luma and chroma channels, this paper proposes measurement coding in YCbCr space rather than in conventional RGB color space for better rate allocation. Furthermore, as the proper use of the image property in pursuing smoothness improves the CS recovery, this paper proposes the integration of a low pass filter to the CS recovery of color images, which is the block-based ${\ell}_{20}$-norm minimization. The proposed coding scheme shows considerable gain compared to conventional measurement coding.

HEVC RExt(High Efficiency Video Coding Range Extension) set a goal to support RGB/YUV 4:2:2 4:4:4 color sampling and over 10 bit-depth images. Unlike the previous 4:2:0 color sampling images, RGB images have the high correlation in inter-color planes. Using this characteristic, some methods which are contributed in JCT-VC standardization meetings estimate the pixel values of inter-color plane. But when we use the estimation of inter-color plane in RGB images, high frequency components of RGB images are caused to reduce the coding efficiency because they usually have the low inter-color plane correlation. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an adaptive low pass filtering method in the inter-color plane estimation. Using this method, we can improve the estimation efficiency of inter-color plane in RGB images. The experimental results with HEVC RExt RGB test sequences show that the proposed method has 0.6% BD(Bjontegaard Distortion)-rate gain and some increased complexity compared to the previous inter-color plane estimation method.

Purpose - This thesis aims to increase the success of Korean fashion brands in the Chinese consumer market by providing basic items in fashion colors preferred by women in their twenties and thirties, having the highest purchasing power, in Beijing and Seoul, in the summer of 2012. Research Methodology - The street fashion color data were retrieved for the case study by taking pictures and recording videos at the famous fashion streets in Beijing and Seoul. The WINDOWS SPSS 18.0 program was applied, to determine the frequency of street fashion colors. Results - The results might be ascribed to the tendency of Chinese women to favor the symbolism of traditional colors. Conversely, women in Seoul have more attachment to international fashion color trends than to the traditional color symbolism. Conclusions - This study suggests that Korean companies should consider the differences in street fashion color preferences when planning to launch a fashion brand in the Chinese consumer market. To gain the long-term perspective, further research on the local Chinese area might be essential to help Korean fashion companies and brands launch into the Chinese consumer market.

The color television signal and color receivers should be balanced for the same value of reference white to achieve colorimetric fidelity and to minimize interference. The NTSC signal is balanced for white at 6774 K and most existing receivers are balanced between 6500 K and 10000 K for many reasons. In this paper, we analyze beam current ratio, lightness, and channel gain ratio according to the color temperature for the three-tube projection HDTV. We also propose the brighter reference white for the three-tube projection HDTV based on the Helmholtz-Kohlrausch effect and the optical resolution of the image. In computer simulation we confirmed the most suitable reference white using the proposed analysis method.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of colors of feed-trough on the eating behaviour of pullets. A total of 64 12wks old pullets were assigned to a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design with 4 treatments(control, blue, yellow, red colored feed-troughs). The results of the study are summarized as follows: 1. Average daily gain and eed intake of the pullets were significantly(P<0.05) decreased with red color feed-troughs. 2. Feed conversion ratio appeared to be improved in the yellow color group compared to the others. 3. Total time spent for eating were not significantly different, among treatments.

The relationship is derived for color CRT display system between the spectral radian existence emitted and digital inputs. The amount of spectral radiant existence depends on the characteristics of the video board, electric circuits, and CRT as well as digital inputs. Especially, the function of this relationship changes as the amplifier gain and offset voltage of electric circuits. In this study, we set the test display system on the optimum state which satisfies gun independence characteristics by using the contrast and the brightness controls of display. Temporal stability, special uniformity, and color distinction of CRT display system are evaluated at the optimum state. Also contrasts in dark room and illuminated room are compared.

In this paper, we propose an auto gain/offset which considers the visibility of human visual system (HVS) and the histogram of a target image jointly. In the proposed method, the lower and upper clipping thresholds are determined to maximize the averaged visibility of the contrast-stretched image. The target image is then contrast-stitched by the gain and offset derived from the clipping thresholds. We define the visibility as a quantity related to the spatial JND, which means the threshold below which any change of a pixel from its textured neighbors is not recognized by the HVS. Experimental results show that the contrast-stretched images by the proposed method have better global and local contrasts compared to the results by some conventional methods.
