Recently, a wide range of products incorporating cutting-edge technology are being introduced in various sectors of design. Belkin’s WeMo or Phillips’ Hue are representative examples. In this context, the color-responsive lighting bookcase is a design product that would satisfy the needs of contemporary consumers who seek entertainment in their purchases. By installing lightings that change color according to the user’s behavior, this design reconceptualizes the bookcase as a source of entertainment rather than a mundane object of household furnishing. The lighting apparatus can be detached and reattached, serving as stand-alone equipment. The lighting bookcase is modularized, comprising extensions equipped with MCU (Micro Controller Unit), RGB LED and color sensors. The bookcase as a whole is extendable towards four directions up to nine units with the lighting bookcase at the center. The extended, multiple lighting bookcases are wired to receive power from the main bookcase, and are equipped with RGB LEDs but not with MCUs or color sensors. Receiving power and color signals from the main lighting bookcase, the sub-bookcases feature changing shades of color. Also, it includes IoT(internet of Things). This study is a proposal of a design product, modularized to control the shades of the bookcase lighting using these sensors.

The IEEE 802.15.7r1 Optical Wireless Communications Task Group (TG7r1), also known as the revision of the IEEE 802.15.7 Visible Light Communication standard targeting the commercial usage of visible light communication systems, is of interest in this paper. The paper is mainly concerned with Image Sensor Communications (ISC) of TG7r1; however, the major challenge facing ISC, as addressed in the Technical Consideration Document (TCD) of TG7r1, is Image Sensor Compatibility among the variety of different commercial cameras on the market. One of the most challenging but interesting compatibility requirements is the need to support the verified presence of frame rate variation. This paper proposes a novel design for 2D-sequential color code. Compared to a QR-code-based sequential transmission, the proposed design of 2D-sequential code can overcome the above challenge that it is compatible with different frame rate variations and different shutter operations, and has the ability to mitigate the rolling effect as well as the rotating effect while effectively minimizing transmission overhead. Practical implementations are demonstrated and a performance comparison is presented

Recent development of IT industry including smart phones and communication technologies has resulted in rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and relevant markets. The access to IoT is becoming easier thanks to the boards and IoT products, such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Large-scale business sites use IoT technology to manage inventories, but small-scale business sites do not. In the present study, We ported Linux-based Raspbian to Raspberry Pi, It utilizes web server communication to control the Arduino through the application We used a color sensor to figure out the kind of inventory. We also built a database using MySQL to store the data. We used raspberry pi to check whether the proposed system works and apply it to small-scale business.

The color analyzer consists of the lighting module, the color recognition module, the data processing module and the display module. The intelligent color analyzers having the advantages of high performance, low cost, easy operation and maintenance, small size and good development can meet the requirements of practical application.

Sensors play a major role in an automated manufacturing system. They are used for getting information from manufacturing operations and processes that are being performed. They are also used for making decisions about the operations being conducted. The purpose of sensors is to inspect and monitor the work-in-progress interface with the manufacturing equipment. In manufacturing industries the multi-operation machine like VMC (Vertical machining center) and HMC (Horizontal machining center) are the major part. It is used to improve the high productivity, high quality and high accuracy of the product. But the CNC machine has some drawbacks like high initial investment, high maintenance and skilled labor wants to operate the machine. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes a low cost automatic multi-operation machine. It performs basic machining operations like drilling, tapping and boring using low cost color sensors (LDR and LEDs). In this system color sensors are the main part to determine the machining operations based on the usage of color LEDs. If LDR detects the color LED the machining operation will take places, the machining operation and job clamping operation are achieved by pneumatic system. All these operations are carried out in a sequence by pre-programming the Programmable Logic Controller.

This paper introduces a single sensor interpolation method for a different color assigned single sensor color camera. The presented method especially describes the performance among three different color combinations, such as RRGB, RGGB, and RGGB. The Bayer pattern has been widely used, and nowadays the research on X-Trans pattern is well studied. The proposed method substitutes the dominant color to the other color of two, and evaluates the performance. In any case, the three color potion is one of three, 2:1:1, 1:2:1, or 1:1:2. Simulation results display the MSE and PSNR results and the obtained images.

In this study, to check the function of managing the severity of ultraviolet rays with a smart watch, a popular health care IT device, It was tested whether measuring heart rate using a PPG(Photoplethysmography) sensor representatively used in a smart watch could tell skin changes caused by ultraviolet rays. Through this experiment, we examined the possibility that the skin color tanned by ultraviolet rays can be determined only by the heart rate measurement function of the PPG sensor. In addition, the possibility of expanding the heart rate measurement function of the PPG sensor to the use of skin condition management was considered. we used an Arduino-based reflective PPG sensor to measure changes in heart rate by selecting body sites with high and low UV rays exposure. A significant value was derived through tests considering factors such as gender, UV exposure, and age. As a result, the study identified the possibility of adding ultraviolet rays and skincare items to future smart watch healthcare items and the possibility of expanding skin measurement methods. It is also possible to suggest the direction of future research.

컬러 센서는 인체를 포함한 물체의 사진을 촬영하여 모니터로 재현해 줄 대 사용하는 광학 센서이다. 컬러 센서는 물체에서 나오는 적색, 녹색, 청색의 빛을 각각 정량화하여 디지털 숫자로 표현하며, 그 값들을 비교하거나 혹은 그 비율을 비교하여 물체의 상태를 판단할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 모니터에서 발현되는 표준 색상을 컬러 센서로 측정하여 서로간의 적색, 녹색, 청색 성분의 크기 즉 RGB 값들을 비교하였다. 컬러 센서 TCS 34725로 측정하였을 때 컴퓨터에서 발생시 키는 빛이 적색, 녹색, 청색 빛 중 한 개 혹은 두 개의 빛 만으로 구성되어 있는 경우에도 컬러 센서는 세 가지성분 을 모두 검출하였다. 또한 같은 RGB 값을 가지는 두 가지 모니터의 색상도 컬러 센서로 측정하면 서로 다른 RGB 값이 측정되었다. 이 결과들은 모니터에 색상을 발현하는 데 이용되는 컬러 필터들의 불완전함과 컬러 센서에 사용되는 포토다이 오드 들이 광 특성이 불완전하기 때문이라고 할 수 있다. 물체를 촬영하여 그 색상으로 그 물체의 상태를 판단할 때는 동일 한 기종의 카메라 혹은 스마트 폰을 이용해야 할 것이다

A color sensor is an optical sensor used to take pictures of objects, including the human body, and reproduce them on a monitor. A color sensor quantifies the red, green, and blue light coming from an object and expresses it as a digital number, and can judge the state of the object by comparing the values o r the ratio.In this study, the standard colors displayed on the monitor were measured using a color sensor, and the magnitudes of the red, green, and blue components, or RGB values, were compared with the values i n dicated by the computer. When measured with the TCS 34725 color sensor, even when the light generated by the computer consists of only one or two of red, green, and blue light, the color sensor detected all three components. Additionally, when the colors of two monitors with the same RGB values w ere measured using a color sensor, different RGB values w ere measured. These results can be attributed to the imperfection of the color filters used to express colors on the monitor and the imperfect optical characteristics of the photodiodes used in the color sensor. When photographing an object and judging its condition based on its color, you must use the same type of camera or smartphone.

In this paper, to improve the well-known photo conductivity degradation of amorphous silicon, a new LASER immersion treatment has been applied. The optical feedback control LED backlighting system with integrated LCD panel sensor increased the color variation less than 0.008 ${\Delta}u'v'$ compared to 0.025 for a non-feedback system.

This study uses empirical method to estimate absorption coefficient of colored dissolved organic matter $(a_{dom})$ from GOCI satellite data with the relationship between band ratio of remote sensing reflectance $(R_{rs})$ and $a_{dom}$. For development of $a_{dom}$ estimation algorithm, the used data is in-situ data about ocean optical properties in the around seawater area of the Korean Peninsula during 1998 - 2005. The relationship of $R_{rs}$(412)/$R_{rs}$(555), $R_{rs}$(443)/$R_{rs}$(555), $R_{rs}$(490)/$R_{rs}$(555), $R_{rs}$(510)/$R_{rs}$(555) and $a_{dom}$(412) showed $R^2$ values of 0.707, 0.707, 0.597 and 0.552, respectively. The spectrum of $a_{dom}({\lambda})$ is shape of exponential function $a_{dom}({\lambda})$ value decreases with increasing wavelength. For estimation of $a_{dom}$ from satellite data, we developed an algorithm from the relationship of $a_{dom}$(412) and $R_{rs}$(412)/$R_{rs}$(555). This algorithm was employed on SeaWiFS imagery to estimate $R_{rs}$(412) in the South Sea, East Sea, Yellow Sea and northern East China Sea areas. Also, SeaDAS-derived $a_{dg}$(412) from same SeaWiFS imagery, These $a_{dg}$(412) was then compared with in-situ and empirical-algorithm-derived $a_{dom}$(412), but these values were different. We think two points that such different values are caused by discrepancy related to failure of standard atmospheric correction scheme, the other are caused by error related to definition of $a_{dom}$(412) and $a_{dg}$(412).

This paper describes the measured results upon monochromatic light, compound light, and light emanated from light emitting diodes by a simplified wavemeter with a semiconductor color sensor. Since a single unit element of a semiconductor color sensor with two PN junction photodiodes has been developed, the author has fabricated the simplified wave detector by using the element. The simplified wive detector has been measured results upon monochromatic light, compound light, and light emanated from light emitting diodes. Since luminescent color of each diode locates in luminosity region, comparison of measured values of PD-150 and PD-151 resulted no remarkable difference in averaged wave length. As for monochromatic light, PD-151 showed very cross value to the color filter peak value rather than PD-150. As for compound light, PD-150 has shown such influence of long wave length light which reaches to near infrared ray with respect to PD-151.

RGB 칼라 필터 배열을 사용한 순차주사 CCD 이미지 센서는 센서의 구조적 한계를 극복하고 칼라 신호의 해상도를 향상시키기 위해 칼라 보간 구조가 필요하다. 기존의 접근 방법을 통해 보간된 결과 영상 대부분에서 경계선은 열화되고 재현된 칼라는 원영상의 칼라와 차이가 났다. 본 논문에서는 순차주사 CCD 이미지 센서를 위한 개선된 경계적응적 칼라 보간 구조를 제안했다. 제안된 경계 표시자(edge indicator) 함수는 채널내 상관관계 뿐만 아니라 채널간의 상관관계를 이용하며 주어진 영상의 경계 특성을 칼라 보간 과정에 적응적으로 반영한다. 주어지지 않은 채널 값은 경계를 거스르는 방향이 아니라 경계 방향을 따라서 보간되고, 에일리어징 현상(aliasing artifacts)은 억제가 됐다. 또한 경계적응적 칼라 보간 구조의 단순한 칼라 영상 형성 모델로부터 발생하는 국소적으로 나타나는 잘못된 색을 칼라 경계 검출법에 기반한 스위칭 알고리즘에 의해 제거하였다. 개선된 경계적응적 칼라 보간 구조는 기존의 접근 방법에 비해 주관적 화질과 객관적 화질 모두 우수한 결과를 실험적으로 보였다.

The color interpolation scheme can play an important role in overcoming the physical limitation of the CCD image sensor and in increasing the resolution of color signals, while most conventional approaches result in blurred edges and false color artifacts. In this paper, we have proposed an improved edge-adaptive color interpolation scheme for a progressive scan CCD image sensor with RGB color filter array The edge indicator function proposed utilizes not only the within-channel correlation but also the cross-channel correlation, and reflects the edge characteristics of an image adaptively. The color components unavailable for at each channel are interpolated along the edge direction, not across the edges, so that aliasing artifacts are supressed. Furthermore, we eliminated false color artifacts resulting from the color image formation model in the edge-adaptive color interpolation scheme by adopting the switching algorithm based on the color edge detection. Simulation results of the proposed algorithm indicate that the improved edge-adaptive color interpolation scheme produces quantitatively better and visually more pleasing results than conventional approaches.

A color filter array (CFA) helps a single electrical image sensor to recognize color images. The Red-Green-Blue (RGB) Bayer CFA is commonly used, but the amount of the light which arrives at the photodiode is attenuated with this CFA. Red-White-Blue (RWB) CFA increases the amount of the light which arrives at photodiode by using White (W) pixels instead of Green (G) pixels. However, white pixels are saturated earlier than red and blue pixels. The pseudo multiple capture scheme and the corresponding RWB CFA were proposed to overcome the early saturation problem of W pixels. The prototype CMOS image sensor (CIS) was fabricated with $0.35-{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The proposed CIS solves the early saturation problem of W pixels and increases the dynamic range.

Retrieval of ocean color information from Multispectral Camera (MSC) on KOMPSAT-2 was investigated to study and characterize small-scale biophysical features in the coastal oceans. Prior to the derivation of such information from space-acquired ocean color imageries, the atmospheric effects largely from path and the air-sea interface should be removed from the total signal recorded at the top of the atmosphere (T$_{TOA}$). In this study, the 'path-extraction' is introduced and demonstrated on the TM and SeaWiFS imageries of highly turbid coastal waters of Korea. The algorithms for retrieval of ocean color information were explored from the remote reflectance (R$_{rs}$) in the visible wavebands of MSC. The determination of coefficient (R$^{2}$) for log-transformed data [<chl> N = 500] was 0.90. Similarly, the R$^{2}$ value for log-transformed data [<SS> N = 500] was found to be 0.93.

FPN (fixed-pattern-noise) mainly comes from the device or pattern mismatches in pixel and color filter, pixel photodiode leakage in CMOS image sensor. In this paper, optical stack module related pixel FPN was investigated and the classification of pixel FPN contribution with the individual optical module process was presented. The methodology and procedure would be helpful in reducing the greater pixel FPN and distinguishing the complex FPN sources with respect to various noise factors.

This paper proposes an edge adaptive color interpolation for an ultra-small HD-grade complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) video sensor in camera phones that can process 720-p/30-fps videos. Recently, proposed methods with great image quality perceptually reconstruct the green component and then estimate the red/blue component using the reconstructed green and neighbor red and blue pixels. However, these methods require the bulky memory line buffers in order to temporally store the reconstructed green components. The edge adaptive color interpolation method uses seven or nine patterns to calculate the six edge directions. At the same time, the threshold values are adaptively adjusted by the sum of the color values of the selected pixels. This method selects the suitable one among the patterns using two flowcharts proposed in this paper, and then interpolates the missing color values. For verification, we calculated the peak-signal-to-noise-ratio (PSNR) in the test images, which were processed by the proposed algorithm, and compared the calculated PSNR of the existing methods. The proposed color interpolation is also fabricated with the 0.18-${\mu}m$ CMOS flash memory process.

Intelligent Space(ISpace) is the space where many intelligent devices, such as computers and sensors, are distributed. According to the cooperation of many intelligent devices, the environment, it is very important that the system knows the location information to offer the useful services. In order to achieve these goals, we present a method for representing, tracking and human following by fusing distributed multiple vision systems in ISpace, with application to pedestrian tracking in a crowd. And the article presents the integration of color distributions into particle filtering. Particle filters provide a robust tracking framework under ambiguity conditions. We propose to track the moving objects by generating hypotheses not in the image plan but on the top-view reconstruction of the scene. Comparative results on real video sequences show the advantage of our method for multi-object tracking. Simulations are carried out to evaluate the proposed performance. Also, the method is applied to the intelligent environment and its performance is verified by the experiments.
