  • The number of pixel defects including bright and black dots on a panel is one of the critical factors determining the quality of TFT-LCD. Since pixel defects on the TFT-LCD panels are sometimes unavoidable, manufacturers have to inspect the panels so that any panel with an unacceptable number of defects will not be delivered to the buyers. However, the buyers demand for the manufacturers to meet different pixel defects tolerances (acceptable number of pixel defects on a TFT-LCD panel) around central(tight) and peripheral(loose) inspection zones. The disagreement in quality standard among different buyers also cause confusions in screening non-confirmative products and unstable yield of production. Few research has focused on the effects of defect locations on a TFT-LCD panel on their detection probabilities and the rational division of defect inspection zones. In this research, experiments were conducted to find the detection probabilities of black dot defects with respect to their varying locations on a TFT-LCD. It is proposed a rational division of inspection zone on a TFT-LCD panel on the basis of detection probabilities of the defects. With these division of inspection zones and the mean defect detection probability within each zone, it is expected to establish a more reasonable pixel defects tolerances.

  • A novel data hiding technique based on modified histogram shifting that incorporates multi-bit secret data hiding is proposed. The proposed technique divides the image pixel values into embeddable and nonembeddable pixel values. Embeddable pixel values are those that are within a specified limit interval surrounding the peak value of an image. The limit interval is calculated from the number of secret bits to be embedded into each embeddable pixel value. The embedded secret bits can be perfectly extracted from the stego image at the receiver side without any overhead bits. From the simulation, it is found that the proposed technique produces a better quality stego image compared to other data hiding techniques, for the same embedding rate. Since the proposed technique only embeds the secret bits in a limited number of pixel values, the change in the visual quality of the stego image is negligible when compared to other data hiding techniques.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 별도의 방사선 외부 검출장치 없이 스마트폰 자체의 CMOS 반도체 소자만을 활용하여 의료용 방사선 발생장치에서 발생하는 방사선을 효율적으로 검출하기 위한 최적의 조건과 알고리즘을 개발하는 것이다. 본 연구를 통하여 스마트폰에 내장된 CMOS 반도체 소자에 X-선의 선량을 증가시켜가면서 CMOS 영상 센서에서 반응하는 픽셀의 개수 및 밝기 등을 측정하였다. 스마트폰의 전면 카메라가 후면 카메라보다 노이즈가 적고 X-선과 같은 방사선에 대한 반응 특성이 우수하였다. 섬광결정을 사용한 간접 검출방식에 보다 CMOS 자체에 X-선을 반응시키는 직접 검출방식이 더 적은 선량까지 정확하게 검출이 가능하였다. 또한 X-선에 대한 선량의존성은 역치값을 넘어가는 픽셀의 개수를 계산한 Pixel number에 비해 개별 반응한 픽셀의 밝기까지 이용한 Pixel intensity가 더욱 선형적으로 나타났다. 컬러모델에 의한 실험에서는 스마트폰의 컬러모델인 YUV 컬러모델의 값 중 픽셀의 밝기값의 정보를 가지고 있는 Y값을 활용하면 방사선 검출에 있어 효율적일 것으로 사료된다. 향후 이와 같은 방사선 검출을 위한 최적의 조건들과 효율적 검출 알고리즘들에 대한 추가적인 연구가 진행된다면 방사선 선량의 관리가 효율적이며 체계적으로 이루어 질 수 있기 때문에 국민보건건강에 일조 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • In this paper, we calculated the pixel and all the inter-electrode capacitances in a unit pixel of three kinds of TFT-LCD modes in order to realize the full color image. And we analyzed the effect on applied voltage. We fixed size of sub-pixel and designed a unit pixel of three kinds of TFT-LCD modes. We calculated rigorously the pixel and all the inter-electrode capacitances by the three dimensional simulation. And we expanded one pixel into whole panel using H-SPICE. As a result, we calculated the RMS voltage and kickback voltage which most affect gray scale of the pixel and calculated the number of bit according to permissible range of minimum gray scale using V-T curve.

  • Recently, a pixel-chaotic-shuffling (PCS) method has been proposed by Huang et al. for encrypting color images using multiple chaotic systems like the Henon, the Lorenz, the Chua, and the Rossler systems. All of which have great encryption performance. The authors claimed that their pixel-chaotic-shuffle (PCS) encryption method has high confidential security. However, the security analysis of the PCS method against the chosen-plaintext attack (CPA) and known-plaintext attack (KPA) performed by Solak et al. successfully breaks the PCS encryption scheme without knowing the secret key. In this paper we present an improved shuffling pattern for the plaintext image bits to make the cryptosystem proposed by Huang et al. resistant to chosen-plaintext attack and known-plaintext attack. The modifications in the existing PCS encryption method are proposed to improve its security performance against the potential attacks described above. The Number of Pixel Change Rate (NPCR), Unified Average Changed Intensity (UACI), information entropy, and correlation coefficient analysis are performed to evaluate the statistical performance of the modified PCS method. The simulation analysis reveals that the modified PCS method has better statistical features and is more resistant to attacks than Huang et al.'s PCS method.

  • In this paper, a pixel value prediction algorithm using edge components in three directions is proposed. There are various directional edges and similarity between adjacent pixels in natural images. After detecting the edge components in the x-axis direction, the y-axis direction, and the diagonal axis direction, the pixel value is predicted by applying the detected edge components and similarity between neighboring pixels. In particular, the predicted pixel value is calculated according to the intensity of the edge component in the diagonal axis direction. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively predict pixel values. The proposed algorithm can be used for applications such as reversible data hiding, reversible watermarking to increase the number of embedded data.

  • 멀티레벨 홀로그래픽 데이터 저장장치는 한 픽셀에 1비트 이상의 데이터 저장이 가능하여 한정된 공간에서 저장 밀도를 높일 수 있기 때문에 차세대 대용량 저장장치로 부각되고 있다. 한편 레벨의 증가는 동일한 픽셀개수에서 코드워드의 수를 증가시킬 수 있기 때문에 적절히 코드워드를 선택하면 변조부호의 최소거리를 증가시킬 수 있다. 최소거리의 증가는 노이즈 마진이 증가하므로 변조부호의 오류 정정 능력이 향상된다. 본 논문에서는 부호율이 1인 세 가지 변조부호를 제안하고, 이들의 최소거리에 따른 성능을 비교한다. 레벨의 증가로 코드워드간의 최소거리를 증가시켜 노이즈 마진을 증가시켰지만, 픽셀의 레벨이 증가할수록 문턱값 검출이 어렵기 때문에 낮은 레벨에 대한 변조부호가 더 좋은 성능을 보였다.

  • Motion estimation (ME) algorithms supporting quarter-pixel accuracy have been recently introduced to retain detailed motion information for high quality of video in the state-of-the-art video compression standard of H.264/AVC. Conventional sub-pixel ME algorithms in the spatial domain are faced with a common problem of computational complexity because of embedded interpolation schemes. This paper proposes a low-complexity sub-pixel motion estimation algorithm in the transform domain utilizing shifting matrix. Simulations are performed to compare the performances of spatial-domain ME algorithms and transform-domain ME algorithms in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and the number of bits per frame. Simulation results confirm that the transform-domain approach not only improves the video quality and the compression efficiency, but also remarkably alleviates the computational complexity, compared to the spatial-domain approach.

  • Typical low-level image processing tasks require thousands of operations per pixel for each input image. Traditional general-purpose computers are not capable of performing such tasks in real time. Yet important features of traditional computers are not exploited by low-level image processing tasks. Since storage requirements are limited to a small number of low-precision integer values per pixel, large hierarchical memory systems are not necessary. The mismatch between the demands of low-level image processing tasks and the characteristics of conventional computers motivates investigation of alternative architectures. The structure of the tasks suggests employing an array of processing elements, one per pixel, sharing instructions issued by a single controller. In this paper we implemented various image processing filtering using the format converter. Also, we realized from conventional gray image process to color image process. This design method is based on realized the large processor-per-pixel array by integrated circuit technology This format converter design has control path implementation efficiently, and can be utilize the high technology without complicated controller hardware.

  • While recent display devices are becoming light and slim, the size of a screen is especially the important issue in the field of display devices. Furthermore, it is also required that the projection TV, a large screen display device, be able to represent higher resolutions as the digital broadcasting is set off. In order to realize high resolutions in a DLP projection TV, the number of pixel on DMD should be increased. However, a large number of pixels make it difficult to realize resulting small sized pixels and this cause the increase in cost. Therefore, we propose a simple and improved pixel enhancement actuator using the existing DMD by offsetting half pixels repeatedly in the vertical direction.
