The main disadvantage of these devices is that they work with three primaries and the colors displayed are the mixture of these three colours. Consequently these devices can be confusing in testing human color identification, because the spectral distribution of the colors displayed is the combined spectrum of the three primaries. We have developed a new instrument for spectrally correct color vision measurement. This instrument uses light emitting diodes (LEDs) and is capable of producing all spectra of perceivable colors, thus with appropriate test methods this instrument can be a reliable and useful tool in test~ing human color vision and in verifying color vision correction.展开更多

In the textiles industry, digital printed fabric analysis is one of the basic elements in successfully utilizing a color mechanism scheme and objectively evaluating fabric color alterations. Precise color measurement, however, is mostly used in sample analysis and quality inspection which help to produce reproducible or similar product. It is important that for quality inspection, the color of the product should be measured as a necessary requirement of quality control whether the product is to be accepted or not. Presented in this study is an unsupervised segmentation of printed fabrics patterns using mean shift algorithm and color measurements over the segmented regions of printed fabric patterns. The results established a consistent and reliable color measurement of multiple color patterns and appearance with the established range without any interactions.展开更多

A majority of error and round-cycle distinctness in the measurements of GPS carrier phase can be eliminated through three times of differential calculations of stations, satellites and epochs, in which the cycle beatings became isolated values. The observation error of three-differentials in the intervals between epochs results in block diagonal matrixes in the covariance matrixes, so that the desired matrixes occupy too large memory and the processing time is too long. Therefore, by using the theory of static filtering in successive steps with colored noises, the interrelation can be eliminated and can save the processing time and memory.展开更多

The proposed frameworkhas three major contributions: a novel feature descriptor calledcolor spectral histogram (CSH) to measure the similarity betweenimages; two-dimensional matrix based indexing approach proposedfor short-term learning (STL); and long-term learning (LTL).In general, image similarities are measured from feature representationwhich includes color quantization, texture, color, shapeand edges. However, CSH can describe the image feature onlywith the histogram. Typically the image retrieval process starts byfinding the similarity between the query image and the imagesin the database; the major computation involved here is that theselection of top ranking images requires a sorting algorithm to beemployed at least with the lower bound of O(n log n). A 2D matrixbased indexing of images can enormously reduce the searchtime in STL. The same structure is used for LTL with an aim toreduce the amount of log to be maintained. The performance ofthe proposed framework is analyzed and compared with the existingapproaches, the quantified results indicates that the proposedfeature descriptor is more effectual than the existing feature descriptorsthat were originally developed for CBIR. In terms of STL,the proposed 2D matrix based indexing minimizes the computationeffort for retrieving similar images and for LTL, the proposed algorithmtakes minimum log information than the existing approaches.展开更多

The mist is generated by using propylene glycol, the vapor pressure of which is much lower than that of water, as the solvent of the fluorescent dyes. A supersonic moisture chamber is used as the atomizer for seeding the tracer particles to be visualized. The proposed technique is applied to the measurement of the temperature distribution in a thermal vertical buoyant plume. The proposed two-color LIF thermometry is found to be very effective for the study of such a thermal structure, and it is well suited for measuring the temperature field of an airflow.展开更多

Using the phase-shift technique, points cloud with high spatial resolution and limited accuracy can be generated. Stereo-pair images obtained from two cameras can be used to compute 3D world coordinates of a point using traditional active triangulation approach, yet the camera calibration is crucial. Neural network is a well-known approach to approximate a nonlinear system without an explicit physical model, in this work it is used to train the stereo vision application system to calculating 3D world coordinates such that the camera calibration can be bypassed. The training set for neural network consists of a variety of stereo-pair images and the corresponding 3D world coordinates. The picture elements correspondence problem is solved by using projected color-coded fringes with different orientations. Color imbalance is completely eliminated by the new color-coded method. Once the high accuracy correspondence of 2D images with 3D points is acquired, high precision 3D points cloud can be recognized by the well trained net. The obvious advantage of this approach is that high spatial resolution can be obtained by the phase-shifting technique and high accuracy 3D object point coordinates are achieved by the well trained net which is independent of the camera model works for any type of camera. Some experiments verified the performance of the method.展开更多

However, it is not well known whether the two-color method is superior to empirical equations in refractive index compensation. We investigated the uncertainties of these approaches via numerical calculations of their sensitivity coefficients of environmental parameters. On the basis of a comparison of their uncertainties, we found that in a 0% humidity environment, the two-color method had potential to provide greater measurement accuracy than the empirical equations.展开更多
