Compensation of color breaking in bi-focal depth-switchable integral floating augmented reality display with a geometrical phase lens.

A bi-focal integral floating system using a geometrical phase (GP) lens can provide switchable integrated spaces with enhanced three-dimensional (3D) augmented reality (AR) depth expression. However, due to the chromatic aberration properties of the GP lens implemented for the switchable depth-floating 3D images, the floated 3D AR images with the red/green/blue (R/G/B) colors are formed at different depth locations with different magnification effects, which causes color breaking. In this paper, we propose a novel technique to resolve the color breaking problem by integrating the R/G/B elemental images with compensated depths and sizes along with experiments to demonstrate the improved results.

A Pilot Clinical Study of Ocular Prosthesis Fabricated by Three-dimensional Printing and Sublimation Technique.

Purpose: We sought to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of patient-specific ocular prostheses produced by three-dimensional (3D) printing and the sublimation technique. A comparison with prostheses produced using manual manufacturing methods was then performed.

Methods: To confirm the biological and physiochemical safety, cytotoxicity, systemic acute toxicity, intradermal reaction, and skin sensitization tests were conducted according to the International Organization for Standardization guidelines.

Lightness prediction of mirror display by amending CIECAM02 to include specular reflection.

This paper investigates if the color appearance model accurately predicts the lightness of a display whose surface features specular reflection such as a mirror display. Eight observers participate in psychophysical experiments and the results are compared with model prediction value. It is found that the model overestimates the lightness under the average surround condition where there is an intense specular reflection on the display surface.

Classification of Iris Colors and Patterns in Koreans.

Objectives: The iris is the part of the eye that is colored, and it is an important feature in making an artificial eye. To address the lack of information about the brown Korean irises, we classified the colors and patterns of the irises of 100 Korean eyes.

Methods: The iris colors were extracted from 100 different digital photographs of each eye using K-mean clustering image analysis.
