A time of minimum light for VV Orionis has been determined photographically using techniques developed by Jeong. The observed time of minimum light shows that VV Ori exhibits a constant orbital period. The O-C computed with the light elements given by Eaton is found to be $-0^d$, 0070. An attempt to correct for night-to-night shifts for plates taken on three nights in February and March 1975, was unsuccessful and thus the complete light curve initially planned was not obtained.

Light was the symbol of the city's prosperity and culture. People can walk around the city at the night time with safe. Now light is used with beauty and function at the same time. This study is the example how to draw the lighting design concept in specific city and district based on the citizen-minded survey. The citizen-minded survey makes a new chance taking the goodness and characteristics from local city specially and select the site for applying the specific opinion and requirement in the city. The expression of design concept on night landscape design gives the fresh image to the city during the night time. Because people feel the free and dynamic mood in the night landscape lighting, it is very important to set and express the design concept on night landscape design. The result of this study was applied in the Daegu city. In particular, the distribution complex's night landscape lighting in the Daegu was designed with specific concept expression from the citizen-minded survey. Making and expressing the design concept on night landscape design is basic for unity and diversity in the city.

We present the data of photoelectric photometric observations of BW Vul carried out for four nights during the period of $1982{\sim}1984$. The light curves with asymmetric shape show a stillstand on the ascending branch at phase of ${\phi}{\approx}0.85$ just before the maximum light, and also the ampitude and shape of light curves are changed from night to night. Using all the published data, a new ephemeris of maximum time is derived, in which the period of light variation is $P=0^d.20102977$ and its increasing rate is 2.2 see/century.

In this paper, a robust traffic light detection method is proposed by using vision sensor and DGPS(Difference Global Positioning System). The conventional vision-based detection methods are very sensitive to illumination change, for instance, low visibility at night time or highly reflection by bright light. To solve these limitations in visual sensor, DGPS is incorporated to determine the location and shape of traffic lights which are available from traffic light database. Furthermore the geometric relationship between traffic light and vision sensor is used to locate the traffic light in the image by using DGPS information. The empirical results show that the proposed method improves by 51% in detection rate for night time with marginal improvement in daytime environment.

한국은 코로나19로 인한 감염전파를 줄이기 위해 4단계의 사회적 거리두기 기준을 설정하고 확진자 발생 비율을 기준으로 단계를 전환하여 시행하고 있다. 이러한 사회적 거리두기는 사람들의 이동 및 모임 등 사회적 접촉을 제한함으로써 시민들의 활동량에 변화를 가져왔다. 이를 직관적으로 확인할 수 있는 데이터 중 하나가 Night Time Light (NTL)이다. NTL은 인공위성에 포착된 불빛을 활용해 측정한 국가경제규모를 측정할 수 있는 변수로, 야간동안 사람의 사회 활동을 파악하는데 활용할 수 있다. NTL 자료는 수오미 위성(Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership, S-NPP)에 탑재된 센서인 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS)에 포함된 Day-Night Band (DNB)를 통해 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구는 2019년 1월 5일부터 2021년 10월 26일까지 1023개의 Suomi 자료를 수집하고, 서울의 NTL 변화를 시계열로 생성하여 사회적 거리두기 단계와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과 사회적 거리두기의 단계가 높아질수록 NTL의 공간적, 시간적 변화가 모두 감소된 것으로 나타났다. 이는 더 높은 단계의 사회적 거리두기 정책이 실행됨에 따라 야간 시간대의 상업 활동 및 모임 인원제한 등과 같은 사회적 활동의 제한이 실제로 서울의 NTL 감소에 영향을 준 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 본 연구는 향후 코로나19 관련 정부의 정책을 평가하고 개선하기 위한 참고자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

Traffic lights at night are usually framed in the image as bright regions bigger than the real size due to glow effect. Moreover, the colors of lighting region saturate to white. So it is difficult to distinguish between different traffic lights at night. Many related studies have tried to decrease the glow effect in the process of capturing images. Some studies drastically decreased the shutter time of the camera to reduce the adverse effect by the glow. However, this makes the video too dark. This study proposes a new idea which utilizes the glow effect. It examines the outer radial region of traffic light. It presents an algorithm to discriminate the color of traffic light by the analysis of the outer radial region. The advantage of the proposed method is that it can recognize traffic lights in the image captured by an ordinary black box camera. Experimental results using seven short videos show the performance of traffic light recognition reporting the precision of 96.4% and the recall of 98.2%. These results show that the proposed method is valid and effective.

We have developed a wide-field imaging camera system, called WICZO, to monitor light of the night sky over extended period. Such monitoring is necessary for studying the morphology of interplanetary dust cloud and also the time and spatial variations of airglow emission. The system consists of an electric cooler a CCD camera with $60\%$ quantum efficiency at 500nm, and a fish-eye lens with $180^{\circ}$ field of view. Wide field imaging is highly desired in light of the night sky observations in general, because the zodiacal light and the airglow emission extend over the entire sky. This paper illustrates the design of WICZO, reports the result of its laboratory performance test, and presents the first night sky image, which was taken, under collaboration with Byulmaro Observatory, on top of Mt. Bongrae at Yongweol in January, 2004.

목 적 : 본 연구는 야간 광 노출시 야간교대근무자의 수면양상과 기분상태가 어떠한 변화를 보이는지와 광 노출의 부작용의 정도와 빈도를 알아보고자 하였다. 이런 과정을 통해 광 노출이 야간교대근무적응에 사용될 수 있는지를 밝히고자 하였다. 방 법 : 용인정신병원에 근무하는 야간교대근무 간호사 12명이 본 연구에 참여하였다. 본 연구는 야간근무 대조연구, 야간근무 광노출연구, 주간근무 대조연구의 3부분으로 구성 되었으며 1명의 간호사가 주간근무 대조연구에 참여하지 않은 것을 제외하고는 모든 간호사가 세 연구에 모두 참여하였다. 야간근무 광노출연구시 새벽 1시부터 새벽 5시까지 4시간동안 빛에 노출되었다. 수면양상은 활동기록기와 자동수면 분석프로그램을 통해, 기분상태와 광노출의 부작용은 자기보고척도에 의해 평가하였다. 결 과 : 수면기간시간, 총수면시간, 수면효율은 야간근무 대조연구에 비해 야간근무 광노출연구시 증가되었으며 야간근무 광노출연구는 주간근무 대조연구와 차이를 보이지 않았다. 야간근무 광노출연구시 수면효율의 일간변동도 야간근무 대조연구에 비해 현저하지 않고 안정된 양상을 보였다. 야간근무 광노출연구시 간호사들은 주간수면을 취한 후 저녁시간에 야간근무 대조연구에 비해 좀 더 기분이 고양되고 활기가 넘친다고 보고하였다. 광 노출이 진행되면서 광노출 부작용에 대한 내성이 생겨 부작용의 빈도나 정도가 감소하였으며 광노출 3일째 심한 정도의 부작용을 호소한 사람은 한명도 없었다. 결 론 : 광 노출시 주간수면은 주간근무시의 야간수면만큼 호전되는 것으로 관찰되었고 이러한 수면호전으로 인해 야간교대근무자들은 기분이 고양되고 좀 더 활기가 넘친다고 보고하였다. 광 노출의 부작용도 시간이 지남에 따라 감소하므로 야간교대근무 적응을 위해 광 노출법을 권장할 수 있을 것이다.

Vision based night-time vehicle detection has been an emerging research field in various advanced driver assistance systems(ADAS) and automotive vehicle as well as automatic head-lamp control. In this paper, we propose night-time vehicle detection method based on multi-class support vector machine(SVM) that consists of thresholding, labeling, feature extraction, and multi-class SVM. Vehicle light candidate blobs are extracted by local mean based thresholding following by labeling process. Seven geometric and stochastic features are extracted from each candidate through the feature extraction step. Each candidate blob is classified into vehicle light or not by multi-class SVM. Four different multi-class SVM including one-against-all(OAA), one-against-one(OAO), top-down tree structured and bottom-up tree structured SVM classifiers are implemented and evaluated in terms of vehicle detection performances. Through the simulations tested on road video sequences, we prove that top-down tree structured and bottom-up tree structured SVM have relatively better performances than the others.

We investigated the influences of night interruption (NI) and night temperature on flowering and flower coloration in Cymbidium. Cymbidium 'Red Fire' and 'Yokihi' were grown under a 9 hours photoperiod (control), a 9 hours photoperiod with NI at a low light intensity (LNI) of 3-7 ${\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, or a 9 hours photoperiod with NI at a high light intensity (HNI) of 120 ${\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ for four hours (22:00-02:00 HR) for 16 weeks during the reproductive growth stage (Experiment 1). Thirty month-old Cymbidium 'Red Fire' plants with initiated flowering buds were placed in four different growth chamber with night temperature set points of 6, 9, 12, or $15^{\circ}C$ for 16 hours (18:00 to 09:00 HR) and a daytime temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ (Experiment 2). In Experiment 1, the numbers of visible buds and flowers increased, and time to flowering decreased in both the LNI and HNI treatments, as compared to the control in both cultivars. Red color in Cymbidium 'Red Fire' increased by both LNI and HNI, as evidenced by an increased $a^*$ in plants grown under these conditions, relative to those grown under the control condition. Number of days to visible buds at 9-$15^{\circ}C$ ranged from 31-34 days, as compared to 39 days at $6^{\circ}C$ in Experiment 2. Although as the temperature increased days to flowering decreased when the plant was grown at $15^{\circ}C$ as compared to 6, 9, or $12^{\circ}C$, the red color ($a^*$) also decreased. The number of flowers and percent flowering increased when the night temperature was maintained higher than $9^{\circ}C$. Therefore, NI treatment and maintaining the night temperature at approximately 9-$12^{\circ}C$ during the winter season after flower spike initiation in the reproductive developmental growth stage improve flower quality and controls flowering time.
