An Optimum Selection of Dual Coding Subfield Pattern for Plasma Displays

초록

Dual coding technique is one of the popular techniques to reduce the dynamic false contours on PDP. Subfield pattern is a key factor affecting the performance of dual coding technique. In this paper, an optimum subfield selection method based on genetic algorithm is proposed. Two types of string structures are defined to account for all the possible configurations of the dual coding subfield patterns. Genetic operators are proposed for optimization of dual coding subfield pattern. Quantitative measures to describe degrees of dynamic false contours and checkerboard patterns are defined. Experimental results indicate that dual coding subfield pattern that is determined by proposed method reduces dynamic false contours and checkerboard patterns.
