چکیده

The paper describes an uneven gel card illumination problem in the gel card image capture device Gelscope 32. The problematic illuminator of the device was analyzed and optimized in such a way, that it illuminated the gel card evenly. Since the illuminator was build using white LEDs, we were able to control the distribution of its luminance by rearranging the LEDs positions. A second order gradient algorithm, implemented in Wolfram Mathematica was used to compute the optimal positions of the LEDs. A minimized objective function was a variation of the illumination produced by a preselected number of LEDs in a general positions. Specific constraints related to the hardware realization were taken into account. The LED distribution obtained was used in the construction of the Gelscope 80 device.

Image Enhancement via Reducing Impairment Effects on Image Components

In this paper, a new approach is presented for improving image quality. It provides a new outlook on how to apply the enhancment methods on images. Image enhancement techniques may deal with the  illumination, resolution, or distribution of pixels values. Issues such as the illumination of the scene and reflectance of objects affect on image captures. Generally, the pixels value of an image is ...

Design of Integrated Light Guiding Plates Using Silicon-based Micro-Features

This study addresses the design of an integrated light guide plate (LGP) to produce a uniform illumination with enhanced axial luminous intensity without use of prism sheets and diffusive sheets. The LGP design applies the micron-sized features fabricated from a novel stamper process that combines anisotropic wet etching of silicon-oninsulator (SOI) wafers with electroforming to fabricate and d...

Optimization of Heat Transfer Enhancement of a Domestic Gas Burner Based on Pareto Genetic Algorithm: Experimental and Numerical Approach

The present study attempts to improve heat transfer efficiency of a domestic gas burner by enhancing heat transfer from flue gases. Heat transfer can be augmented using the obstacles that are inserted into the flow field near the heated wall of the domestic gas burner. First, to achive the maximum efficiency, the insert geometry is optimized by the multi-objective genetic algorithm so that heat...
