Ett pekskärmsanvändargränssnitt kräver två system, ett tryckkänsligtsystem för att detektera och positionera när användaren ger input till systemet och en skärm för att presentera ett grafiskt användargränssnitt. Rapporten börjar med att beskriva de tillgängliga teknikerna för pekpaneler och skärmar. Detta syftar till att ge djupare kunskap om de olika teknologierna och deras för- och nackdelar. Denna kunskap används sedan för att i samarbete med Syntronic AB utvärdera de olika teknologierna utifrån Syntronic AB’s krav. Utvärderingen leder till val av teknik för både pekpanel och skärm som köps in och implementeras på plattformen. Implementationen består av både hårdvarunära programmering för kommunikationen med pekpanel och skärm och API mjukvaror för att hantera hårdvaran på ett enkelt sätt. Både hård- och mjukvara är dokumenterad för att visa hur systemet är uppbyggt. Denna dokumentation skall också kunna användas som en manual till mjukvaran vid vidareutveckling eller tillämpning. Resultatet av implementationen är en pekpanel och en skärm med ett förenklat användargränssnitt.

  • China-Taiwan Relations: the Shadow of SARS
    China-Taiwan Relations: The Shadow of SARS by David G. Brown Associate Director, Asian Studies The Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies Throughout this quarter, Beijing and Taipei struggled to contain the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). SARS dramatically reduced cross-Strait travel; its effects on cross-Strait economic ties appear less severe but remain to be fully assessed. SARS intensified the battle over Taiwan’s request for observer status at the World Health Organization (WHO). Although the World Health Assembly (WHA) again rejected Taiwan, the real problems of a global health emergency led to the first contacts between the WHO and Taiwan. Beijing’s handling of SARS embittered the atmosphere of cross- Strait relations and created a political issue in Taiwan that President Chen Shui-bian is moving to exploit in next year’s elections. SARS The SARS health emergency dominated cross-Strait developments during this quarter. With the dramatic removal of its health minister and the mayor of Beijing in mid-April, Beijing was forced to admit that it was confronting a health emergency with serious domestic and international implications. For about a month thereafter, Taiwan was proud of its success in controlling SARS. Then its first SARS death and SARS outbreaks in several hospitals led to first Taipei and then all Taiwan being added to the WHO travel advisory list. The PRC and Taiwan each in its own way mobilized resources and launched mass campaigns to control the spread of SARS. By late June, these efforts had achieved considerable success and the WHO travel advisories for both, as well as for Hong Kong, had been lifted.

  • Ambient Contrast Ratio of Lcds and OLED Displays
    Vol. 25, No. 26 | 25 Dec 2017 | OPTICS EXPRESS 33643 Ambient contrast ratio of LCDs and OLED displays * HAIWEI CHEN, GUANJUN TAN, AND SHIN-TSON WU College of Optics and Photonics, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida 32816, USA *[email protected] Abstract: We systematically analyze the ambient contrast ratio (ACR) of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays for smartphones, TVs, and public displays. The influencing factors such as display brightness, ambient light illuminance, and surface reflection are investigated in detail. At low ambient light conditions, high static contrast ratio plays a key role for ACR. As the ambient light increases, high brightness gradually takes over. These quantitative results set important guidelines for future display optimization. Meanwhile, to improve an OLED’s ACR at large oblique angles, we propose a new broadband and wide-view circular polarizer consisting of one linear polarizer and two biaxial films. Good performance is realized. © 2017 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement OCIS codes: (120.2040) Displays; (230.3720) Liquid-crystal devices; (160.3710) Liquid crystals.

    Title CAPTURING OF 3D CONTENT USING A SINGLE APERTURE CAMERA Name: Dr. Juan Carlos Jácome Fernández This is a digitised version of a dissertation submitted to the University of Bedfordshire. It is available to view only. This item is subject to copyright. CAPTURING OF 3D CONTENT USING A SINGLE APERTURE CAMERA By Juan Carlos Jácome Fernández A thesis submitted to the University of Bedfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2017 Abstract Integral imaging has recently re-emerged as an alternative to current 3D capturing systems, providing post-production refocusing capabilities and reducing the complexity of 3D capturing systems. One of the main drawbacks of conventional plenoptic 1 integral imaging systems is the implementation of a single custom made microlens array which has a fixed focal length and a high cost/low scalability associated with. This thesis demonstrates a variable focal length microlens arrays system, which can flexibly operate within a range of various focal lengths, increase the cost-effectiveness of the integral imaging system and offers the opportunity to manipulate the main camera optical parameters without modifying the objective lens settings. To validate the proposed concept, a custom-made integral imaging camera system was designed and built (IMPERX 4K system). Based on the results obtained from two initial optical simulations, software simulation and mathematical model; the suitable microlens arrays were acquired, and several experiments were performed to establish the feasibility of a variable focal length microlens arrays system. The results obtained show the proposed system performed as expected. The variable focal length system represents an ideal method to control microlens focal length, as it offers a higher microlens count, without a dedicated electronic system, whose performance is not susceptible to temperature-pressure changes and can operate in real-time as it does not require downtimes to re-adjust.

Always in motion is the future Yoda iv Sammanfattning De senaste åren har kameraprototyper som kan fånga tredimensionella (3D) bilder presenterats, baserade på 3D-tekniken Integral Imaging (II). När dessa II-bilder be- traktas på en 3D-skärm, delger de både ett djup och ett innehåll som på ett realistiskt sätt ändrar perspektiv när tittaren ändrar sin betraktningsposition. Avhandlingen koncentrerar sig på tre hämmande faktorer gällande II-bilder. För det första finns det en mycket begränsad allmän tillgång till II-bilder för jämförande forskning och utveckling av kodningsmetoder. Det finns heller inga objektiva kvali- tetsmått som uttryckligen mäter distorsion med avseende på II-bildens egenskaper: djup och betraktningsvinkelberoende. Slutligen uppnår nuvarande standarder för bildkodning låg kodningseffektivitet när de appliceras på II-bilder. En metod baserad på datorrendrering har utvecklats som tillåter produktion av olika typer av II-bilder. En II-kameramodell ingår som bas, kombinerad med ett scen- beskrivningsspråk som möjligör att godtydligt komplexa virtuella scener definieras. Ljustransporten inom scenen och fram till II-kameran simuleras med strålföljning och geometrisk optik. Den presenterade metoden används för att skapa ett antal II- kameramodeller, scendefinitioner och II-bilder.

  • Generation of 3-D Synthetic Autostereoscopic Integral Images Using Computer Simulated Cameras
    GENERATION OF 3-D SYNTHETIC AUTOSTEREOSCOPIC INTEGRAL IMAGES USING COMPUTER SIMULATED CAMERAS A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Shafik Salih Electronic and Computer Engineering School of Engineering and Design Brunel University March 2014 Abstract ________________________________________________________ Production of artificial Three-Dimension (3-D) images was the aim of many researches over hundreds of years. 3-D images are the images that create sense of depth when viewing them. 3-D images are closer to the real world scenes than 2-D images due to the 3-D effect or the sense of depth the 3-D images provide. Sense of depth can be caused by binocular cues including convergence and parallax. Convergence is created by the difference between the angles of the left eye and the right eye viewing axes. Parallax is the effect of viewing with one eye a view of the scene that is inherently shifted to the view seen by the other eye. Several techniques have targeted the creation of 3-D images with the mentioned cues. The technique is preferred when it is able to create 3-D images so that the viewer can view these images without wearing special glasses and the occurrence of viewer fatigue. Integral photography that was invented in 1908 is able to meet the previous requirements. Based on integral photography, several techniques, research and studies have been published. The purposes of this thesis include the computer simulation of flexible integral photography systems, the computer generation of good quality 3-D static and animated integral images using the simulated systems, optimising the generation process to be more accurate, less expensive, more effective, and faster, and producing a portable specialist software tool to achieve these targets.
