. The Pantone R (cid:13) Formula Guide (or Guide), printed using specially-formulated inks on specified substrates, has been used widely by brands to specify brand color aims. While the Guide is silent on brand color tolerance, there are two competing criteria that influence the brand color tolerance, i.e., perceptibility and acceptability. Perceptibility-based color tolerance focuses on “Can I see the difference?” and the permissive difference is in the just-noticeable difference (JND) region. Acceptability-based color tolerance, focusing on “Can I accept the outcome?”, requires fit-for-use cases to identify what the just-acceptable difference (JAD) is. Instead of conducting psychometric tests, this research uses the 2019 Pantone R (cid:13) Formula (Coated) Guide, consisting of 2140 CIELAB colors, and data analyses of the “neighboring color difference” to investigate what is the acceptability-based color tolerance. The result shows that the acceptability-based color tolerance (3 (cid:49) E 00 ) has more margin than the perceptibility-based color tolerance (2 (cid:49) E 00 ).

In a computer-generated holographic projection system, the image is reconstructed via the diffraction of light from a spatial light modulator. In this process, several factors could contribute to non-linearities between the reconstruction and the target image. This paper evaluates the non-linearity of the overall holographic projection system experimentally, using binary phase holograms computed using the one-step phase retrieval (OSPR) algorithm, and then applies a digital pre-distortion (DPD) method to correct for the non-linearity. Both a notable increase in reconstruction quality and a significant reduction in mean squared error were observed, proving the effectiveness of the proposed DPD-OSPR algorithm.

Abstract On-demand electrohydrodynamic jetting also called electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA) is a method to jet small amounts of fluid out of a nozzle with a relatively large diameter by switching on and off an electrical field between the nozzle and the substrate. The total amount of volume deposited is up to 5 pL. The set-up consists of a vertically placed glass pipette with a small nozzle directed downward and a flat substrate placed close to the end of the nozzle. Inside the pipette, an electrode is mounted close to the entrance of the nozzle. The electrode is connected to a high voltage power amplifier. Upon switching on the electrical field, the apparent surface tension drops, the meniscus deforms into a cone and fluid starts to flow toward the nozzle deforming the meniscus. At a certain moment the cone reaches the Taylor cone dimensions and from its tip a jet emerges that decomposes into a stream of charged fL droplets that fly toward the substrate. This process stops when the pulse is switched off. After switching off, the meniscus returns slowly to its equilibrium position. The process is controlled by different time constants, such as the slew rate of the power amplifier and the RC time of the electrical circuit composed of the electrical resistance in the fluid contained in the nozzle between the electrode and the meniscus, and the capacitance of the gap between the meniscus and the flat substrate. Another time constant deals with the fluid flow during the growth of the meniscus, directly after switching on the pulse. This fluid flow is driven by hydrostatic pressure and opposed by a viscous drag in the nozzle. The final fluid flow during droplet formation is governed by the balance between the drag of the charge carriers inside the fluid, caused by the current associated with the charged droplets leaving the meniscus and the viscous drag. These different phenomena will be discussed theoretically and compared to experimental results.

Abstract FDM 3D printers allow massive creativity in personal products, but their potential has been limited due to inability to manipulating material properties. Previous work had demonstrated that the desired roughness could be presented simply by controlling the spatial density of tiny pins on a printed surface. This article offers a means of providing the desired softness perception of a printed surface and the desired roughness to expand the haptic dimension over which a user can exert control. Specifically, we control the softness by manipulating the infill structures of a printed surface. However, it is known that a skin contact area affects softness perception. The roughness, which is controlled by pins’ density, may also affect the perceived softness of a printed surface. Therefore, we investigate how the internal structures and the density of the pins affect softness perception. Through psychophysical experiments, we derive a computational model that estimates the perceived softness from the density of the pins and the infill density of a printed surface.

Abstract This research explored the potential for ink-jet printing to replicate the coloration and finishing techniques of traditional denim fabric and standardized the reproduction and evaluation procedure. Although denim fabric is widely consumed and very popular, one drawback to denim is that the finishing and manufacturing processes are energy and water intensive and can cause environmental hazards as well as generation of pollution through water waste, particularly at the finishing stage. Textile ink-jet printing has the potential to replicate some of the coloration and finishing techniques of traditional denim fabric without negative environmental impacts. A two-phase research project was conducted. In Phase I (P1), an optimal standard production workflow for digital denim reproduction (including color and finishing effects) was established, and six different denim samples were reproduced based on the workflow. In Phase II, an expert visual assessment protocol was developed to evaluate the acceptance of the replicated digital denim. Twelve ink-jet printing, color science, and denim industry experts finished the assessment.

Cardiovascular disease is one of the major diseases that threaten the human health. But the existing electrocardiograph (ECG) monitoring system has many limitations in practical application. In order to monitor ECG in real time, a portable ECG monitoring system based on the Android platform is developed to meet the needs of the public. The system uses BMD101 ECG chip to collect and process ECG signals in the Android system, where data storage and waveform display of ECG data can be realized. The Bluetooth HC-07 module is used for ECG data transmission. The abnormal ECG can be judged by P wave, QRS bandwidth, and RR interval. If abnormal ECG is found, an early warning mechanism will be activated to locate the user’s location in real time and send preset short messages, so that the user can get timely treatment, avoiding dangerous occurrence. The monitoring system is convenient and portable, which brings great convenie to the life of ordinary cardiovascular users.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and it can cause a variety of cardiovascular diseases. This brings great hidden danger to people’s health and life safety all over the world. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most important noninvasive diagnostic tools for heart disease. Accurate interpretation of ECG is particularly important for the detection and treatment of AF. It is valuable to develop an efficient, accurate, and stable automatic AF detection algorithm in clinical settings. Therefore, this article proposes a novel integrated module, which combines densely connected convolutional network (DenseNet) module and bidirectional long short-term memory (BLSTM) module, based on the excellent ability of BLSTM on extracting the time series features, while DenseNet on capturing local features. Furthermore, we also propose a novel network architecture (MF-DenseNet–BLSTM) based on the integrated module mentioned above and multi-feature fusion for automatic AF detection using the ECG signals. The proposed model employs the architecture of dual-stream deep neural network to fusing multiple features. Specifically, the network of each stream structure consists of two parts with DenseNet module and BLSTM module. The data sets used to validate and test the proposed model are from the MIT-BIH Atrial Fibrillation Database. The experimental results show that the proposed model achieved 98.81% accuracy in training set, and achieved 98.04% accuracy in the testing set which is unseen data set. The proposed MF-DenseNet–BLSTM has shown excellent robustness and accuracy in automatic AF detection.

Abstract This study represents an attempt to solve the problem of color reproduction and identification for the prevention of stamp forgery. Generally, printed images are converted to halftone dot patterns by using a raster image processor. The amplitude-modulated dots of each separated color plane have a consistent shape such as conventional round, square, ellipse, or diamond shape; error diffusion occurs in frequency-modulated dots. To achieve anti-counterfeiting properties for stamp reproduction, two methods are proposed to obtain difficult-to-replicate dot structures and to provide corresponding color management methods. The first method involves arranging different dot shapes in different areas of an image. Color consistency is achieved using a virtual gray balance method. However, color differences are visible when two dot types are assigned to adjacent areas with similar colors. The second method is a two-stage screening method. The first screening stage defines different micro-regions in the image, which are then combined with the continuous-tone image again in the second screening step to assign different dot patterns to different micro-regions. This approach not only provides anti-counterfeiting ability but also ensures color consistency and allows controlling color quality using one ICC profile.

This approach not only provides anti-counterfeiting ability but also ensures color consistency and allows controlling color quality using one ICC profile.","PeriodicalId":15924,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Imaging Science and Technology","volume":"65 1","pages":"20502-1-20502-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44688103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
