의료기기들 중 기능 영상을 보기 위해 이용되는 PET 장치에서 획득된 결과 영상은 선명하지 않기 때문에, 해부학적 구조와 기능 영상을 동시에 보기 위해서는 선명한 영상을 제공하는 CT 와 PET 장치와 하나로 통합하여 영상을 획득하게 되었다. 그래서 한번의 촬영으로 PET/CT 영상을 얻을 수 있게 된 것이다. 서로 다른 특성을 갖는 이미지를 융합하게 되면 보다 정확한 진단을 내리는데 많은 도움을 준다. 본 논문은 CT 영상에서 폐 영역을 반 자동(Semi-Auto)으로 분리한 후 PET 영상에 자동으로 융합하는 방법을 제안한다. 반 자동 폐 영역 분할을 위해 1 차원 신호 처리 기법과 Seeded Region Growing 기법을 사용한다. 수행된 폐 분리 결과는 몸의 해부학적 구조를 보기 위해 사용되는 CT 영상에서 추출한 폐 영역을 기능을 보기 위한 PET 영상에 퓨전 함으로서 진단 전문가가 보다 정확한 진단을 하는데 도움이 될 것이다. 또한 이러한 기능을 쉽게 구현하고 사용할 수 있도록 시각 프로그래밍 기법을 접목하였다.

준지도학습 기반의 동영상 이상행동감지는 구하기 어려운 프레임 단위 레이블이 필요하지 않아 더 많은 동영상을 학습에 활용 가능한 장점이 있어 관련 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근 제안된 기법들은 주로 UCF-Crime 이라는 실제 CCTV 동영상 데이터셋을 활용하고 있는데, 본 데이터셋은 학습 영상과 테스트 영상에서 이상행동 클래스 별 분포도가 균등하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 해당 불균형으로 인해 학습 모델이 특정 행동 클래스에 과적합될 수 있음을 보이며, 이러한 불균형을 해결하기 위해 Class-Balanced Multiple Instance Learning Loss 를 제안한다. 이를 통해 기존에 특정 클래스에 편중되었던 모델이 이상행동 종류에 좀 더 균등한 성능을 낼 수 있음을 보여준다. 특히 단순히 클래스별 정확도가 제로섬(zero sum)으로 증감하는 것이 아니라 전체적인 이상행동 판별 정확도 또한 향상됨을 실험 결과를 통해 확인할 수 있다.

군사 분야에서 사용하는 기존 영상융합체계는 영상에서 미확인 개체를 식별하는 Activity-Based Intelligence(ABI) 기술과 객체들에 대한 지식정보를 관리하는 Structured Observation Management(SOM) 기술을 연동하여 다양한 관점에서 분석하고 있다. 그러나 군사적인 목적을 달성하기 위해서는 미래 정보가 중요하기 때문에 주변 맥락 정보를 통합하여 분석해야 할 필요성이 있으며 이를 위해 주변맥락 정보를 분석하는 딥러닝 모델 적용이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 딥러닝 모델 기반 영상 판독 시스템 구축을 하기 위한 전처리 과정을 설계하였다. pyhwp 라이브러리를 이용하여 영상 정보 판독 데이터를 파싱 및 전처리를 진행하여 데이터 구축을 진행하였다.

Medical imaging modalities to image either anatomical structure or functional processes have developed along somewhat independent paths. Functional images with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) are playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and staging of malignant disease, image-guided therapy planning, and treatment monitoring. SPECT and PET complement the more conventional anatomic imaging modalities of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. When the functional imaging modality was combined with the anatomic imaging modality, the multimodality can help both identify and localize functional abnormalities. Combining PET with a high-resolution anatomical imaging modality such as CT can resolve the localization issue as long as the images from the two modalities are accurately coregistered. Software-based registration techniques have difficulty accounting for differences in patient positioning and involuntary movement of internal organs, often necessitating labor-intensive nonlinear mapping that may not converge to a satisfactory result. These challenges have recently been addressed by the introduction of the combined PET/CT scanner and SPECT/CT scanner, a hardware-oriented approach to image fusion. Combined PET/CT and SPECT/CT devices are playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and staging of human disease. The paper will review the development of multi modality instrumentations for clinical use from conception to present-day technology and the application software.

Recently, it is studying to provide to users through internet in the SensorWeb of OGC(Open Geospatial Consortium) saving and maintaining data and image information gathered from sensor network. It is necessary to study about data convergence as binding audio and video for delivering the sensing data and image information to users with real-time system. In this article, it suggests how to convergence sensing data and moving picture collected from the sensor network using index. This program indicates both of them that collected sensing data and information identified of moving picture in the integration index and based on this program provides sensing data moving picture at the same time referencing integration index, if the user asks. To verify suggested method designing real-time multimedia service structure using sensor network and image installation and implementing Ubiquitous realtime multimedia system integrating moving picture and sensing data based on index. As a result of this program, it is confirmed providing real-time multimedia service to request information of application service using integration index collected image and sensing data from wireless sensor network and image installation suggested data convergence method.

In this paper, we propose a method to reduce the difference in image characteristics when multiple camera images are captured for virtual space production. Sixty-four images were used by cross-mounting eight bodies and lenses, respectively. Image analysis compares and analyzes the standard deviation of the histogram and pixel distribution values. As a result of the analysis, it shows different image characteristics depending on the lens or image sensor, though it is a camera of the same model. In this paper, we have adjusted the distribution of the overall brightness value of the image to compensate for this difference. As a result, the average deviation was the maximum of (Indoor: 6.89, outdoor: 24.23), we obtained images with almost no deviation (Indoor: maximum 0.42, outdoor: maximum: 2.73). In the future, we will study and apply more accurate image analysis methods than image brightness distribution.

In this manuscript, a new pansharpening model based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) was developed. Dilated convolution, which is one of the representative convolution technologies in CNN, was applied to the model by making it deep and complex to improve the performance of the deep learning architecture. Based on the dilated convolution, the residual network is used to enhance the efficiency of training process. In addition, we consider the spatial correlation coefficient in the loss function with traditional L1 norm. We experimented with Dilated Residual Networks (DRNet), which is applied to the structure using only a panchromatic (PAN) image and using both a PAN and multispectral (MS) image. In the experiments using KOMPSAT-3A, DRNet using both a PAN and MS image tended to overfit the spectral characteristics, and DRNet using only a PAN image showed a spatial resolution improvement over existing CNN-based models.

In this study, HU(hounsfield unit) value of CT generated by dental prosthesis was measured according to the type of metal when PET-CT was performed, and the degree of distortion and standard deviation of SUV(standard uptake value) and to propose a method to reduce errors in image reading. PET-CT was performed using actual teeth, metal crown, gold crown, titanium, and zirconia dental prosthesis. Compared with general teeth, the SUV value increased with increasing HU value. The SUV value of metal crown, titanium, and zirconia was increased by 37% and the gold crown increased by 45.4%. In addition, image distortions were small in general teeth, metal crown, titanium, and zirconia, but hard curing of the gold crown occurred and image distortion occurred. Therefore, since the metal type of the dental prosthesis affects the SUV value, the NAC(non attenuation correction) PET image of the dental prosthesis can be helpful in the diagnosis of the patient using the gold material.

Passive millimeter wave imaging has the capability of detecting concealed objects under clothing. Also, passive millimeter imaging can obtain interpretable images under low visibility conditions like rain, fog, smoke, and dust. However, the image quality is often degraded due to low spatial resolution, low signal level, and low temperature resolution. This paper addresses image registration and fusion between passive millimeter images and visual images. The goal of this study is to combine and visualize two different types of information together: human subject's identity and concealed objects. The image registration process is composed of body boundary detection and an affine transform maximizing cross-correlation coefficients of two edge images. The image fusion process comprises three stages: discrete wavelet transform for image decomposition, a fusion rule for merging the coefficients, and the inverse transform for image synthesis. In the experiments, various types of metallic and non-metallic objects such as a knife, gel or liquid type beauty aids and a phone are detected by passive millimeter wave imaging. The registration and fusion process can visualize the meaningful information from two different types of sensors.
