In this paper, we propose a multimodal speaker verification method using teeth image and voice as biometric trait for personal verification in mobile terminal equipment. The proposed method obtains the biometric traits using image and sound input devices of smart-phone that is one of mobile terminal equipments, and performs verification with biometric traits. In addition, the proposed method consists the multimodal-fashion of combining two biometric authentication scores for totally performance enhancement, the fusion method is accompanied a weighted-summation method which has comparative simple structure and superior performance for considering limited resources of system. The performance evaluation of proposed multimodal speaker authentication system conducts using a database acquired in smart-phone for 40 subjects. The experimental result shows 8.59% of EER in case of teeth verification 11.73% in case of voice verification and the multimodal speaker authentication result presented the 4.05% of EER. In the experimental result, we obtain the enhanced performance more than each using teeth and voice by using the simple weight-summation method in the multimodal speaker verification system.

In anatomical aspects, magnetic resonance image offers more accurate information than other medical images such as X ray ultrasonic and CT images. This paper introduces a method that recognizes disk diseases from spine MR images. In this method, image enhancement, image segmentation and feature extraction for sagittal plane and axial plane images are performed to separate the disk region. And then template matching method is used to extract disease region for axial plane imges. Finally, disease feature vectors are integrated and disease discrimination processes are performed. Experimental results show that the proposed method discriminates between normal and diseased disk with a considerable recognition ratio.

An enhancement technique for phase dependent image contrast in MRI(Manetic Resonance Imaging) is proposed. Because the method can enhance inherent phase contrast it is suited for susceptibility imaging and flow imaging where intravoxel phase is a source of image contrast. In this paper, applying external phase in the voxel enhances phase contrast. The external phase is generated by a tailored RF pulse so that one can control the phase contrast and even produces phase only contrast. Signal intensity due to both inherent phase and external phase is analyzed and the proposed technique is applied to a susceptibility effect only imaging and a flow effect only imaging. To verify the proposed technique, computer simulations are performed and their results are given.

This paper presents a wavelet-based watermarking algorithm to securely hide biometric features such as face and fingerprint and effectively extract them with less distortion of the concealed data. To hide the biometric features, we proposed a determination method of insert location based on wavelet transform and adaptive weight method according to the image characteristics. The hidden features are effectively extracted by applying the inverse wavelet transform to the watermarked image. To show the effectiveness, we analyze the various performance such as PSNR and correlation of watermark features before and after applying watermarking. Also, we evaluate the effect of watermaking algorithm with respect to biometric system such as recognition rate. Recognition rate shows 98.67% for multimodal biometric systems consisted of face and fingerprint. From these, we confirm that the proposed method makes it possible to effectively hide and extract the biometric features without lowering recognition rate.

본 논문에서는 인터넷 멀티미디어 수화사전 Web-Sign을 설계 및 구현한다. Web-Sign은 여러 가지의 검색조건에 의한 수화동영상을 화면에 출력하고 관련 정보를 쉽게 찾아 볼 수 있는 특징이 있다. 또한 Web-Sign은 100% JAVA로 구현하였기 때문에 플랫폼과 OS의 영향을 거의 받지 않으며, 애플릿과 어플리케이션으로 모두 배포 가능한 장점을 가지고 있다. 웹 브라우저에 의한 접속은 애플릿을 자동으로 지원하며, 어플리케이션을 이용할 경우 모든 데이터는 On-Line 혹은 Off-Line 형태로 전송이 가능하다. 검색방법은 단어입력, 가나다순서별 선택, 동작정보(수위소)선택, 동작화면에 의한 선택, 수화 교과서〔10〕의 챕터순서별로 선택, 주제별 수화분류에 의한 단어선택 등을 이용할 수 있다. 현재까지 등록된 동영상은 현재까지 총 500 여개이며 각 동영상에 대한 시작 및 끝 화면의 정지영상 1000여개와 빠른 전송을 위한 동영상 1000여개를 참고자료로 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 Web-Sign은 많은 검색방법을 가지고 있고, 다양한 정보를 인터넷을 통해 제공할 수 있으므로, 사용자가 쉽게 접근하여 수화를 익힐 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
