Almost all photographers are very familiar with using an 18% reflectance gray card to set the camera’s exposure. Usually these are used by placing the gray card into the scene and pointing the meter or camera at the card and setting the shutter speed and aperture for the exposure. The color balance needed to achieve neutral gray tones in the image is determined by the film manufacturer, set in ...

Acquiring satisfactory and usable images with a camera involves ensuring that the film or digital sensor in a camera is properly exposed given a scene’s illumination strength and color. Several camera parameters affect this process. To properly handle variations of lighting strength a camera’s exposure can be adjusted by varying three parameters: exposure time, aperture size, and film or sensor...

Currently, the polyethlene terephthalate (PET) film challenges to substitute Tri-acetyl cellulouse (TAC) film which is a protection film in a polarizer layer, because of low cost of PET film. On the contrary, the PET film shows an optical problem such that color shift or interference optical pattern in oblique direction can occur because the film is made with the lamination process, which induc...

A uniform and crack-free metal−organic framework (MOF) thin film composed of free-standing acicular nanorods was grown on a transparent conducting glass substrate. The MOF thin film exhibits electrochromic switching between yellow and deep blue by means of a one-electron redox reaction at its pyrene-based linkers. The rigid MOF stabilizes the radical cations of the pyrene linkers at positive ap...

watercress is a leafy vegetable of the family brassicaceae that grows in and around water, it has a short shelf life (approximately seven days) and it is consumed raw or steamed. the objective of this work was to study the effect of packaging film and different storage temperature on the postharvest quality of watercress minimally processed. treatments were: packed with plain film (pd961ez, 31m...

The authors present a radiochromic film dosimetry protocol for a multicolor channel radiochromic film dosimetry system consisting of the external beam therapy (EBT) model GAFCHROMIC film and the Epson Expression 1680 flat-bed document scanner. Instead of extracting only the red color channel, the authors are using all three color channels in the absorption spectrum of the EBT film to extend the...

The search for methods to demonstrate and accurately measure contact area and pressure within human joints has been and remains an active one. Presenssor is a measuring system developed by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. and used in medical applications. The color intensity fades with time and exposure to light. These changes have not been well documented despite the increasing use of Fuji film in bi...

We demonstrate a novel display structure for color electronic paper for the first time. Fully transparent amorphous oxide TFT array is directly deposited onto color filter array and combined with E Ink Imaging Film. Taking advantage of the transparent property of the oxide TFT, the color filter and TFT array are positioned at the viewing side of the display. This novel “Front Drive” display str...

This paper presents an effective color normalization method for thin blood film images of peripheral blood specimens. Thin blood film images can easily be separated to foreground (cell) and background (plasma) parts. The color of the plasma region is used to estimate and reduce the differences arising from different illumination conditions. A second stage normalization based on the database-gra...
