Abstract:
Given that a plurality of visual transfer function curves for a display panel are provided for each of different ranges from the display panel, two-dimensional luminance distribution data of the display panel is filtered using a filter having visual frequency characteristics substantially passing through: a part where a recognition sensitivity increases as a spatial frequency increases in a short-range function curve, which among the plurality of visual transfer function curves is the closest to the display panel; a peak part of the short-range function curve; a peak part in a long-range function curve, which among the plurality of visual transfer function curves is the farthest from the display panel; and a part where the recognition sensitivity decreases as the spatial frequency increases in the long-range function curve. An evaluation value of luminance unevenness of the display panel is calculated on the basis of the filtered two-dimensional filtering data.

Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for collecting data on traffic paths between networks over an intermediate set of network elements, which may include a Distributed Internet Exchange Platform (DIXP) enabling a peering relationship between the two networks. A set of agents may be coupled with different network elements in the intermediate set from which they may collect data with which the traffic paths may be assessed, monitored, and/or evaluated. The set of agents may report the data to a control-plane module, which may store the data in a centralized database. Additionally, the control-plane module may be operable to generate and/or provision instructions to the agents to control the collection of data and/or the monitoring of traffic paths. The database may include network-topology information from which the control-plane module may identify the traffic paths between the two networks and to which the data may be correlated.
