Electrochromism is electrochemical color changes in material and Tungsten oxide and viologens are the representative ones 1). The electrochromic (EC) materials are used as smart window or anti-glare mirror in airplanes, vehicles, and office. Recently, metallosupramolecular polymer (MSP) has been investigated as a novel EC material 2-11). MSPs have advantages such as the solution-based processability and the wide color variation, compared with the conventional EC materials. MSPs are synthesized by complexation of metal ion and multi-topic organic ligand. The 1:1 complexation of metal ion having six coordination sites (Fe, Co, Ru etc.) and ditopic ligand bearing two tridentate coordination moieties (e.g., bisterpyridines) results in the formation of linear MSPs (Fig. 1a). The polymer structure is controlled by changing the ligand. For example, twodimensional nanosheets with a honey-comb structure is obtained by the complexation of metal ion having six coordination sites and ditopic ligand bearing two BIDENTATE coordination moieties (e.g., bisbipyridines), because a metal can be complexed with three bidentate moieties (Fig. 1b) 12). Abstract Metallo-supramolecular polymers (MSPs) are a novel type of electrochromic (EC) materials. Ru(II)based MSP (polyRu) composed of Ru(II) and bis(terpyridyl)benzene showed reversible color changes between orange and pale green. The orange color was caused by the metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) absorption in polyRu and disappeared by the electrochemical oxidation of Ru(II) to Ru(III). The pale green was returned to the original orange by the electrochemical reduction of Ru(III) to Ru(II). EC devices with polyRu were fabricated by the combination of an electrolyte solution, counter material, and two ITO glasses. The character images were displayed on the EC devices using insulating films. The insulating films prevented the electron transfer between the ITO glass and the polyRu layer and made the image stand out in the device. The fabricated EC display devices were presented at a science museum of Japan as experience-based exhibits.

Cultural heritage objects are threatened with the destruction caused by decay or damage due to aging, unpredictable natural and man-made disaster such as fire, earthquake, and war. Deterioration or disappearance of any cultural or natural heritage constitutes a great loss to all nations of the world. Due to the precious nature of cultural heritage, it is necessary to choose a proper solution for their preservation and conservation. There are various methods nowadays that can record different information of cultural heritage, such as color, shape, spectral reflectance, etc. Such recording methods also refer to digital archiving which has been gathering increasing interests of researchers in the past few years1, 2).

In this paper, we propose a quality improvement method of a real-time free viewpoint video (FVV) synthesis. Two functions, adaptive silhouette dilation and view-dependent shape refinement, are applied to obtain a 3D model with accurate shapes in the real-time FVV. The adaptive dilation reduces the missing part of a reconstructed 3D model caused by a camera calibration error. In addition, the excessively expanded part of a 3D model caused by the silhouette dilation is cor-rected by the view-dependent refinement algorithm on a screen rendering. A part of the model outlines becomes transparently displayed to refine the model shape by comparing the camera image used for texture mapping with a background model. In the experiments, the proposed method achieved the best quality compared with conventional real-time FVV methods. Furthermore, the processing was executed in real-time because the computation cost of the proposed functions was extremely small.

We propose an adaptive exposure-time-control method for image sensors, which can control the exposure time for each pixel to reconstruct a high-dynamic-range image, while suppressing blown-out highlights and blocked-up shadows, according to the luminance and contrast of the scene. First, the proposed method determines the exposure time that maximizes the entropy of the entire image, as an image with high entropy contains more object details. In order to estimate the exposure time appropriate for the light and dark areas in the scene, the proposed method divides the image into blocks and estimates the exposure time that maximizes the entropy for each block. Because the proposed method captures and estimates several exposure times simultaneously, the time required for adjusting the exposure time is reduced. Simulation experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

We are developing an advanced Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial (ISDB-T) system for the next generation of digital terrestrial television broadcasting. The advanced ISDB-T provides 4K8K terrestrial broadcasting service for fixed reception and 2K service for mobile reception simultaneously within one channel. New technologies such as Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) code are used for expanding the transmission capacity and for improving the spectral efficiency. The LDPC codes designed for the advanced ISDB-T have two code lengths and 13 code rates for each code length. The code length and code rate can be selected in consideration of the transmission latency requirement or the link budget. Meanwhile, although the LDPC codes have good bit error rate (BER) performance approaching the Shannon limit, a small number of error bits cause an error floor even if the Es/N0 is high enough. The error floor may cause serious issues such as block noise in video and mute in audio because broadcasting is a real-time service without any feedback. To deal with this problem, Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) code is concatenated as outer code to the LDPC codes as inner codes. We conducted a simulation using a field programmable gate array (FPGA) instead of a computer to evaluate the BER performance. An FGPA simulation is 1000 times faster than a computer simulation, so the BER performance can be evaluated quickly with an adequate number of measurement bits. As a result, it was confirmed that LDPC codes perform as designed both in the water-fall and error-floor regions and that the BCH codes correct the small number of error bits after the LDPC
