Though the Hough transform is a well-known method for detecting analytical shape represented by a number of free parameters, the basic property of the Hough transform, the one-to-many mapping from an image space to a Hough space, causes the innate problem, the sensitivity to noise. To remedy this problem, Edge Strength Hough Transform (ESHT) was proposed and proved to reduce the noise sensitivity. However the performance of ESHT depends on the size of a Hough space and image and some other parameters which should be decided experimentally. In this paper, we derived formulae to decide 2 parameter values; decreasing parameter and broadening parameter, which play an important role in ESHT. Using the derived formulae, 2 parameter values can be decided only with the pre-determined values, the size of a Hough space and an image, which make it possible to decide them automatically. The experiments with different parameter values also support the result.

Vision-based autonomous precision landing technology for UAVs requires precise position estimation and landing guidance technology. Also, for safe landing, it must be designed to determine the safety of the landing point against ground obstacles and to guide the landing only when the safety is ensured. In this paper, we proposes vision-based navigation, and algorithms for determining the safety of landing point to perform autonomous precision landings. To perform vision-based navigation, CNN technology is used to detect landing pad and the detection information is used to derive an integrated navigation solution. In addition, design and apply Kalman filters to improve position estimation performance. In order to determine the safety of the landing point, we perform the obstacle detection and position estimation in the same manner, and estimate the speed of the obstacle using LSM. The collision or not with the obstacle is determined based on the CPA calculated by using the estimated state of the obstacle. Finally, we perform flight test to verify the proposed algorithm.

Purpose: On-line image guided radiation therapy(on-line IGRT) and(kV X-ray images or cone beam CT images) were obtained by an on-board imager(OBI) and cone beam CT(CBCT), respectively. The images were then compared with simulated images to evaluate the patient's setup and correct for deviations. The setup deviations between the simulated images(kV or CBCT images), were computed from 2D/2D match or 3D/3D match programs, respectively. We then investigated the correctness of the calculated deviations. Materials and Methods: After the simulation and treatment planning for the RANDO phantom, the phantom was positioned on the treatment table. The phantom setup process was performed with side wall lasers which standardized treatment setup of the phantom with the simulated images, after the establishment of tolerance limits for laser line thickness. After a known translation or rotation angle was applied to the phantom, the kV X-ray images and CBCT images were obtained. Next, 2D/2D match and 3D/3D match with simulation CT images were taken. Lastly, the results were analyzed for accuracy of positional correction. Results: In the case of the 2D/2D match using kV X-ray and simulation images, a setup correction within $0.06^{\circ}$ for rotation only, 1.8 mm for translation only, and 2.1 mm and $0.3^{\circ}$ for both rotation and translation, respectively, was possible. As for the 3D/3D match using CBCT images, a correction within $0.03^{\circ}$ for rotation only, 0.16 mm for translation only, and 1.5 mm for translation and $0.0^{\circ}$ for rotation, respectively, was possible. Conclusion: The use of OBI or CBCT for the on-line IGRT provides the ability to exactly reproduce the simulated images in the setup of a patient in the treatment room. The fast detection and correction of a patient's positional error is possible in two dimensions via kV X-ray images from OBI and in three dimensions via CBCT with a higher accuracy. Consequently, the on-line IGRT represents a promising and reliable treatment procedure.

현대 패션분야에서 디자이너들의 예술적 표현의 주제이자 매체로서 활용되고 있는 빛은 보다 감성지향적인 방향으로 발전되는 추세로서, 빛을 활용한 감성 패션디자인에 대한 표현 방법과 조형적 특성을 분석하는 것은 매우 의미있는 일이다. 패션디자인에서 빛을 표현하는 방법으로는 빛의 반사, 이미지 표현, 발광, 투사에 의해 독창적으로 응용되어져 표현되어 왔으며, 다양한 빛의 표현을 위해 재료의 물성을 조작함으로써 얻을 수 있는 빛의 유희, 명암이나 형태, 색채를 통한 빛의 재현, 발광물질이나 인공광에 의한 발광, 프로젝터를 통한 빛 이미지 등 다양한 표현방법이 활용되고 있었다. 빛이 활용된 감성 패션디자인의 조형적 특성으로는 상호작용성, 영상성, 투명성, 실험성으로 분류되었다. 상호작용성은 착용자의 행위에 의한 변형과 신체의 변화나 감정의 변화에 의한 불빛이나 영상 패턴이 바뀌는 등 형태나 컬러, 영상의 변형 등 착용자의 메시지 전달이나, 감정표현, 신체보호, 그리고 재미를 유발하는 효과를 자아내는 것으로 나타났다. 영상성은 디지털 이미지를 활용한 것과 내부 광원에 의한 발광성으로 분류되며, 드레스에 장착된 수많은 LED 에 의한 영상을 만들거나 이미지를 확대시키는 방법으로 표현된 영상성은 심미적인 효과가 우선시되었다. 투명성은 주로 비닐, 플라스틱, 기능적 소재 등 투명한 소재들을 이용하여 대부분 재료의 특성이 조형적 특성으로 분석되었고, 외부와의 개방성과 위장가능성의 효과를 준다거나, 투명한 재질에 이미지가 변화하는 이미지의 중첩성과 같은 효과를 나타내었다. 실험성은 새로운 실험적 도구로서의 패션을 표현하고자 할 때, '빛'을 매개체로 하여 관심을 유도하고 재미를 더해주며, 신비주의적 환상이나 호기심을 불러일으키는 효과를 나타내었다. 이처럼 빛을 활용한 패션디자인은 빛을 매개체로 하여 다양한 표현방법으로 활용이 가능하며 특유의 조형적 특성을 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper develops a methodology for resizing the resolution of an image in an arbitrary block transform domain. To accomplish this, we represent the procedures resizing images in an orthogonal transform domain in the form of matrix multiplications from which the matrix scaling the image resolutions is produce. The experiments showed that the proposed method produces the reliable performances without increasing the computational complexity, compared to conventional methods when applied to various transforms.

An object to reflect or emit light is captured by imaging system as distorted image due to various distortion. It is called image restoration that estimates original object by removing distortion. There are two categories in image restoration method. One is a deterministic method and the other is a stochastic method. In this paper, image restoration using Minimum Fisher Information(MFI), derived from B. Roy Frieden is proposed. In MFI restoration, experimental results to be made according to noise control parameter were investigated. And cross entropy(Kullback-Leibler entropy) was used as a standard measure of restoration accuracy, It is confirmed that restoration results using MFI have various roughness according to noise control parameter.

VR 360 video contents requires new visual language research in that the viewer inevitably makes partial appreciation unlike traditional video contents. In this study, we paid attention to the fact that arrangement of events and background elements in the 360-degree extended background of VR 360 video contents will play a major role in guiding the audience. Therefore, this study focuses on the arrangement of events and background elements from a narrative point of view, and analyzed the aspects of VR 360 video contents cases.

Computed tomography (CT) is a medical imaging method employing tomography. CT is a 3-Dimensional (3-D) radiographic imaging technique, which is not suited for assessment of inflammation, but can be considered a reference method for assessment of bone damage, due to its direct 3-D visualization of calcified tissue. In this study of pathological joint changes in a rat model of adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) and quality analysis of bone destructions were performed by 3-Dimensional computed tomography images. These data demonstrate that the destructive progression of disease in a rat AIA model can be quantified using 3-D CT image analysis, which allows assessment of arthritic disease status and efficacy of experimental therapeutic agents.

Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are rare soft tissue tumor, originating from neural or perineural cells. We present a case of axillary GCT in a 69-year-old woman with breast cancer history and discuss the various radiologic findings. US revealed a circumscribed oval heterogeneous iso- and hyperechoic mass in the left axilla. Chest CT showed a well-defined, oval, and mildly enhancing mass in the left axilla on the lateral aspect of the pectoralis muscle. A final diagnosis of GCT was made through US-guided core needle biopsy. Follow-up US showed no significant changes in the axillary GCT. Familiarity with GCT may facilitate early diagnosis and subsequent management.

이 논문은 접은 도체박판의 단순한 구조가 전자유도형 변환기 역할을 한다는 것을 기술하고 있다. Endoh 등은 볼록한 나선코일과 동박판으로 구성된 볼록한 방사면 모양을 한 전자유도형 변환기가 시간적으로 짧은 충격파를 발생할 수 있기 때문에 뚜렷한 초음파 영상을 얻을 목적으로 Eisenmenger에 이어 전자유도형 EMAT를 보고한 바 있다. 여기서는 코일이 없는 EMAT를 소개한다. 이것은 두께 0.05mm, 폭 5cm 길이 임의의 동박판으로 구성되며 동박판은 절연도료를 칠한 종이로 절연되고 접어서 견고하게 밀착시키며, 여러번 접는 경우는 손부채처럼 접는 방향은 교대로 반대방향으로 접는다. 그리고는 엷은 고무판을 표면에 밀착시키고 연변을 실리콘 충전제등으로 고정시키거나, polyester molding을 하여 표면을 concave형으로 하여 완성하였다. 완성된 EMAT들은 수조에서 축전기방전방식으로 실험을 하였으나 EMAT에서 발생되는 으파의 진폭은 접는 회수에 비례하였으녀, 단접형 EMAT보다 다접형 EMAT의 발생음파가 보다 강력하였다. Concave형 EMAT의 음속은 예견한 바와 같이 잘 집속되었다. 그러나 평판형의 경우는 지향성은 100도로서 넓은 지향각을 나타내었다. 2μF, 600Volt의 축전기 방전에 의한 집속형 concave EMAT를 여기시키기 위한 축전기의 용량이 작을수록 대역폭은 더욱 넓었다.
