For dry toner electrophotographic color printers, we present a numerical simulation model describing the color printer response based on a physical characterization of the different electrophotographic process steps. The proposed model introduces a Cross Transfer Efficiency designed to predict the color transmittance spectra of multi-color prints by taking into account the transfer influence of...

The design of embedded systems faces new challenges in increasing functional density and decreasing silicon structural sizes. With the consequence that variations of circuit parameters, input signals, manufacturing processes, etc. from its ideal may cause an increased parasitic impact on the full system behavior. The main research topic within this work is range based simulation and analysis of...

In this paper, a new and efficient edge-preserving algorithm is presented for color contrast enhancement in CIE Luv0 color space. The proposed algorithm not only can enhance the color contrast as the previous algorithm does, but also has an edge-preservation effect. In addition, the spurious edge points occurred due to the color contrast enhancement can be well reduced using the proposed algori...

A multi-lingual term bank of copyright-related terms has been published connecting WIPO definitions, IATE terms and definitions from Creative Commons licenses. These terms have been hierarchically arranged, spanning multiple languages and targeting different jurisdictions. The term bank has been published as a TBX dump file and is publicly accessible as linked data. Models for the RDF data stru...

The sera of 176 patients with epidemiologic antecedents or radiologic and clinical signs of hydatidosis were tested by counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE) and enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA). A semipurified antigen from cysts of human origin was used for both techniques. The results were compared with those obtained from complementary radiologic studies and were confirmed by examination of exc...

A new nonlinear dimensionality reduction method for multi-spectral images was presented to solve the problem brought by high dimensionality of multi-spectral images during color reproduction. Firstly, according to the characteristics of human visual system, the CIE standard observer color matching functions were weighted to the source spectral reflectance and then a principal component analysis...

In this investigation the thermal stability and life time of remote phosphor encapsulant plates, made from bisphenol-A polycarbonate (BPA-PC), are studied. Remote phosphor plates, combined with a blue-light LED source, could be used to produce white light with a correlated colour temperature (CCT) of 4000 K. Spectral power distribution (SPD) and photometric parameters of thermally-aged phosphor...

PROBLEM STATEMENT: CIECAM97s was chosen as a CIE recommended color appearance model based on its high-performance on object color appearance predictions under various viewing conditions. The model had been developed on the basis of well-defined features from other models. An IDL interactive CIECAM97s tool has been developed in order to demonstrate the influence of CIECAM97s parameters on images...

As digital cameras have been used widely, a technology to extract features of character string areas from scenery (nature) image is required. However, it is very difficult to extract character string areas from a complex background of scenery image as compared with a relatively simple background of documentary image. Human can extract character string areas from scenery image having complex bac...

Processing and storage of apple juice often triggers quality deterioration regarding nutritional valuable compounds and unfavourable color changes resulting from browning. Fluorescence and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy were applied to detect such quality loss in apple juice. Juice samples were produced from Malus x domestica 'Pinova', stored at 20 °C for 4 days or heated at 80 °C for 10 min ...
