Recently the interest in coast area has been increased in the view of management and usage of national territory. Rapid coastal development has caused directly or indirectly coastline changes which may make environmental problems or threaten the nearby residents' livelihood. CORONA was one of the US satellite reconnaissance programs, and it's imagery provides informations about past coastline with high resolution. In this study, we applied rigorous geo-referencing algorithm to CORONA imagery in order to generate the mosaic image of the East coast area of 1969 with 20m accuracy. This old era CORONA mosaic image was compared with SPOT image of 2005, and the coastline changes were analyzed. We were able to ascertain considerable erosion and accumulation in some parts of study area. erosion area which is calculated from imagery is $0.32\;km^2$ from Kosung to Kangnung. Results of coastline change detection can provide useful information for related studies.

Density is the most important congestion indicator among the three fundamental flow variables, flow, speed and density. Measuring density in the field has two different ways, direct and indirect. Taking photos with wide views is one of direct ways, which is not widely used because of its cost and lacking of proper positions. Another direct density measuring method using two point detectors has been introduced with the concept of instantaneous density, average density and measurement interval. The relationship between accuracy and measurement interval has been investigated using the SIMULATION data produced by Paramics Application Programming Interface function. We analyze the affect of segment density accuracy by sensing gap each road condition such as sensing segment length, lane and LOS after gathering data by Paramics Application Programming Interface.

저수준레이저를 이용하여 창상이나 병소의 치유과정에 대한 효과를 조사하기 위하여 많은 연구가 시행되었다. 연구에 의하면 갈륨비소 레이저광이 생체자극효과를 가진다고 하며, 저수준레이저를 조사하면 단백질과 핵산 (DNA) 합성을 자극하여 치은섬유아세포의 증식을 촉진한다고 보고하였다. 외상병소나 근육병소의 치료에 사용된 레이저치료법에 관한 관심이 점증함에 따라 저수준레이저요법 (LLLI)의 치유효과를 설명하기 위하여 분자생물학적 수준의 연구를 시행하기에 이르렀다. 보고에 의하면 Mutans Streptococcide 는 LLLI를 사용시 증식이 촉진되며, 다른 세균에서도 유사한 증식효과가 나타날 것이라고 주장하였다. 그러므로 LLLI가 피부감염을 야기하는 가장 흔한 원인인 Staphylococcus aureus 도 마찬가지로 증식이 촉진되는 지를 조사해볼 필요가 있으며, 또한 감염과 같이 특정 병적 상태에서의 저수준레이저광의 효과는 아직까지 명확하게 밝혀져 있지 않았다. 그러므로 본 연구의 목적은 첫째, Staphyloc occus aureus 의 증식에 대한 저수준레이저광의 효과를 조사하는 실험이며, 둘째 Staphylococcus aureus 로 가염된 피부창상에 대한 저수준레이저광의 효과를 판정하는데 있다. 34개의 Staphylococcus aureus 배양표본을 사용하여 48시간의 세포주기동안 조사기간과 조사시간, 그리고 레이저 펄스(laser pulse)형에 따라 3가지 실험을 시행하여 증식에 가장 효과적인 상태와 가장 비효과적인 상태의 갈륨비소 반도체 레이저펄스를 결정하였다. 이후 지름 약 6 mm의 개방창상을 44마리 백서의 양측 대퇴부에 형성하여 모든 창상에 S. aureus를 감염시켰다. 모든 표본은 펄스형과 조사방법 (중앙조사법과 주변조사법)에 따르는 실험을 하기 위하여 4가지로 분류하였다. 각 백서의 양측 창상중 하나는 1,3,5,7일 마다 각 실험의 방법에 따라 레이저를 조사하고 실험동물의 다른 창상은 대조군으로서 사용하였다. 모든 창상의 면적은 실험 1,3,5,7 일째에 일정한 거리에서 사진촬영하여 면적계를 이용, 측정한 후 통계적인 의의를 조사하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 저수준레이저는 특정 조건하에서 S. aureus의 증식을 촉진하였다. 그러나 S. aureus에 감염된 창상을 저수준레이저로 조사시 치유가 촉진되었다. 중앙 조사법고 주변조사법에 의한 창상치유효과는 통계적인 의의가 보이지 않았다. 따라서 결론적으로 S. aureus 에 감염된 창상에 직접 또는 간접적이든 pulse의 종류에 관계없이 조사하는 경우 치유효과가 나타나는 것은 정사주위 조직의 LLLI 자극효과가 염증의 확산을 억제한다고 말할수 있다.

In this study, we have conducted characterization of imaging performance for a flat panel digital X-ray detector using amorphous Selenium and a-Si TFT which was developed by the authors. The procedures for characterization were in concordance with internationally recommended standards such as IEC (international electrotechnical commission). The measures used for imaging performance characterization include response characteristic, modulation transfer function (MTF), detective quantum efficiency (DQE), noise power spectrum (NPS), and quantum limited performance. The measured DQEs at lowest and highest spatial frequencies were 40% and 25% respectively, which was superior to that of commercial products by overseas vendor. The MTF values were significantly superior to that of CR and indirect type DRs. The quantum limited performance showed the detector was limited by quantum noise at the entrance exposure level below 0.023 mR, which is sufficiently low for general X-ray examination.

This paper presents a method of generating 3-dimensional images by preprocessing 2-dimensional abdominal images obtained using CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) through segmentation, threshold technique, etc. and apply the method to virtual endoscopy. Three-dimensional images were visualized using indirect volume rendering, which can render at high speed using a general-purpose graphic accelerator used in personal computers. The algorithm used in the rendering is Marching Cubes, which has only a small volume of calculation. In addition, we suggested a method of producing 3-dimensional images in VRML (virtual reality modeling language) running on the Web browser without a workstation or an exclusive program. The number of nodes, the number of triangles and the size of a 3-dimensional image file from CT were 85,367, 174,150 and 10,124, respectively, and those from MRI were 34,029, 67,824 and 3,804, respectively.

Most of the spatial scattered dose caused by the scattered rays generated by the collision between the object and X-rays is relatively easily absorbed by the human body as electromagnetic waves in the low energy region, thereby increasing the degree of radiation exposure. Such spatial scattering dose is also used as an indicator of the degree of radiation exposure of radiation workers and patients, and there is a need for a method to reduce exposure by reducing the spatial scattered dose that occurs indirectly. Therefore, in this study, a lead-free radiation shielding sheet was proposed as a way to reduce the spatial scattering dose, and a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation was performed based on a chest X-ray examination. The absorbed dose was calculated and the measured value and the shielding rate were compared and evaluated.

Digital radiography is divided into the direct method using photoconductor and indirect method using phosphor based on the principles in acquiring the image information, but both have different advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, this study conducted a preliminary research on the structure of the hybrid detector that combined phosphor and photoconductor to improve the sensitivity of X-ray. As a result, when the tube voltage was adjusted at 30ms of exposure time, the direct structure displayed an overall excellent sensitivity, but at the exposure time of 50ms or more, the hybrid structure displayed a better outcome. This seems to have enough research value considering that various clinical examinations usually include 50ms or more exposure time.

본 연구에서는 CCTV 영상 내 빗줄기의 특성을 바탕으로 강우강도를 산정하기 위한 합성곱 신경망(CNNs, Convolutional Neural Networks) 기반 강우강도 산정 모형을 제안하였다. 중앙대학교 및 한국건설생활환경시험연구원 내 대형기후환경시험실에서 얻은 CCTV 영상들을 대상으로 연구를 수행하고, 우적계 등과 같은 지상 관측자료와 강우강도 산정 결과를 비교·검증하였다. 먼저, CCTV 영상 내 빗줄기의 미세한 변동 특성을 반영하기 위해 데이터 전처리 작업을 진행하였다. 이는 원본 영상으로부터 빗줄기 층을 분리해내는 과정, 빗줄기 층에서 빗물 입자를 분리해내는 과정, 그리고 빗물 입자를 인식하는 과정 등 총 세 단계로 구분된다. 합성곱 신경망 기반 강우강도 산정 모형 구축을 위해 영상 전처리가 완료된 데이터들을 입력값으로 설정하고, 촬영 시점에 대응되는 지상관측 자료를 출력값으로 고려하여 강우강도 산정모형을 훈련시켰다. CCTV 원자료 내 특정 영역에 편향되어 강우강도를 산정하는 과적합 현상의 발생을 방지하기 위해 원자료 내 5개의 관심 영역(ROI, Region of Interest)을 설정하였다. 추가로, CCTV의 해상도를 총 4개(2560×1440, 1920×1080, 1280×720, 720×480)로 구분함으로써 해상도 변화에 따른 학습 결과의 차이를 분석·평가하였다. 이는 기존 사례들과 비교했을 때, CCTV 영상을 기반으로 빗줄기의 거동 특성과 같은 물리적인 현상을 직간접적으로 고려하여 강우강도를 산정했다는 점과 더불어 머신러닝을 적용하여 강우 이미지가 갖는 본질적인 특징들을 파악했다는 측면에서, 추후 본 연구에서 제안한 모형의 활용 가치가 극대화될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

DR has had an important fact not only in the department of radiology but also in productivity or work efficiency of a whole hospital. The environment of DR has more various parameter than CR, so it is able to supply high quality of medical services. The current environment of radiology department in each hospital has been changed from Film-Screen system to DR through Full-PACS. This hospital which uses Full-PACS became to study the proper condition of CR and DDR and how the image quality of them is expressed among general photographing systems in the DR environment. From this experiment, the image quality of DDR is better than CR under the same exposure condition. And in the DDR system, the score of image which uses AEC is a little higher than the score which doesn't use it. Especially it can be known that the function of AEC of DDR is useful to improve the image quality in the part of skull and chest. (The function of AEC : It is the tool that detects the ionized current of x-ray which goes through objects with using the ion chamber which is in the detector. Also it controls the examination of X-ray when the proper density is reached.) Because the proper degree of density can be represented by this system, the photographing can be taken much easily without consideration of the exposure condition with the thickness of various objects. From the result of this experiment, it can be known that the selection of proper exposure condition plays an important rule to gain good Image Quality. More researches will be necessary about DDR system which has potential ability in the future.
