Purpose:Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT), a common musculoskeletal disorder in infants, is characterized by the rotation and flexion deformity of the neck caused by sternocleidomastoid muscle shortening. We investigated the clinical courses and perinatal risk factors of CMT. Methods:Less than 6-month-old patients (98; M:F = 60:38) diagnosed with CMT between February 2007 and August 2008 were classified into 2 clinical subgroups, namely, SMT (sternocleidomastoid tumor) and POST (postural torticollis). All the patients were physically and neurologically examined prospectively and their cervical X-rays and ultrasonographies were obtained. Their medical histories about perinatal problems were recorded. Of the 98 patients, 45 with normal range of motion were taught passive physical exercises and 43 were referred to the Department of Rehabilitation for undergoing manual stretching therapy. Results:The mean age at initial assessment was 2.2 months (SMT: $1.4{\pm}1.0$, POST: $2.7{\pm}1.6$). SMT presented earlier than POST. All ophthalmologic examinations and cervical X-rays were normal. SMT was associated with higher incidence of caput succedaneum and cephalhematoma. POST was highly associated with plagiocephaly. Mean duration of rehabilitative physical therapy was 3.7 months (SMT: $4.6{\pm}2.5$, POST: $2.6{\pm}1.9$). POST resolved earlier than SMT. Of the 88 patients with follow-up, 87 had total resolution and only 1 had residual torticollis. Conclusion:All the patients received early treatment with passive stretching exercises. CMT was associated with perinatal problems and had various risk factors such as obstetrical problems.

There is a standard shoulder oblique method (Grashey method) available to view the shoulder joint. This method projects AP view of the shoulder joint so that the Humerus head's subuxation or joint degeneration can be easily visualized. However, in this view, the patients, with supine or sitting or erect position, have to keep their body obliquely. Whereas, the patients who are not well or operated, usually feel very uncomfortable to keep their body in this position and hence, we need other persons' help and much efforts will be needed to get the good quality shoulder joint view. Therefore, we thought of examining a method which shows the joint well by angling the tube to Medio-Lateral direction and without keeping the patients' one side upward in supine position. For this study, total 15 subjects with no history of neurological or psychiatric illness, were recruited for examinations. They consisted of 9 males and 6 females. Statistic group analysis was performed with ANOVA test. Scores of the evaluation of the experts were $1.10{\pm}0.54$ at $25^{\circ}$, $2.50{\pm}0.50$ at 30^{\circ}$, $2.85{\pm}0.36$ at $35^{\circ}$ and $2.33{\pm}0.47$ at $40^{\circ}$, respectively, and they were significant(p<0.05, Table 1). Joint space of the Humerus head and Scapula were well distinguished at $35^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$ and $40^{\circ}$ with the almost same score. However, the degree of distortion at $40^{\circ}$ was more severe than that at $30^{\circ}$. Ultimately, $30-35^{\circ}$ views were shown to yield good quality shoulder oblique images. In conclusion, this method may be very useful for the patients who are uncomfortable and for the emergency patients. In order to get similar or comparable view, the same X-tube angle is recommended to be used before and after the operation. Therefore, we hope that this new angled method seems to be efficient.

역공학(Reverse Engineering)은 이미 만들어진 소프트웨어 시스템을 역으로 추적하여 처음의 문서나 설계기법 등의 자료를 얻어 내는 것을 의미한다. 본 논문은 역공학 개념을 이용하여 하나의 파일에서 뽑을 수 있는 데이터 즉, 클래스나 변수, 메소드, 연관 관계 등을 추출하여 xml문서에 저장 후 역공학한 프로젝트 내에서 선언된 변수와 함수들의 사용횟수를 도출하는 시스템을 구현한다. 이를 바탕으로 역공학한 프로젝트 내에서 선언된 변수와 함수들의 사용횟수를 도출함으로써 검출 및 유지 보수가 용이하며, 클래스 다이어그램이 좀 더 자세하게 그려줄 수 있다.

The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate an efficient camera calibration method for vision-based head tracking. Tracking head movements is important in the design of an eye-controlled human/computer interface. A vision-based head tracking system was proposed to allow the user's head movements in the design of the eye-controlled human/computer interface. We proposed an efficient camera calibration method to track the 3D position and orientation of the user's head accurately. We also evaluated the performance of the proposed method. The experimental error analysis results showed that the proposed method can provide more accurate and stable pose (i.e. position and orientation) of the camera than the conventional direct linear transformation method which has been used in camera calibration. The results of this study can be applied to the tracking head movements related to the eye-controlled human/computer interface and the virtual reality technology.

UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)에 위치 추적 및 비행 데이터에 의한 항로추정기법에 대한 연구 중 비행영상과 데이터를 무지향성안테나와 지향성안테나 두 가지로 수신을 받았다. 그러나 국내 전파법상 제한된 출력 때문에 송수신 거리의 영향을 받아 지향성안테나를 사용할 수밖에 없었다. 지향성안테나의 단점은 전 범위가 아니라 일정범위에서만 송수신이 가능하다. 본 논문은 지향성안테나의 단점인 일정범위가 아닌 안테나를 움직임으로써 전범위에서 송수신이 가능하도록 하는 안테나 방향 제어를 연구한 내용과 움직이는 물체로부터 좌표데이타, 고도, 삼축가속도 센서를 수신하여, 이 데이터로 적용하여 자세 및 이동경로를 산출하여 안테나가 최적의 움직임을 가질 수 있도록 연구한 내용을 기술하였다.

An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)-based Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) can calculate attitude and heading information with long-term accuracy and stability by combining gyro, accelerometer, and magnetic compass signals. Motivated by this characteristic of the AHRS, this paper presents a Motion-Tracking and Localization (MTL) method for a person or walking robot using multi-AHRSs. Five AHRSs are attached to the two calves, two thighs, and waist of a person/walking robot. Joints, links, and coordinate frames are defined on the body. The outputs of the AHRSs are integrated with link data. In addition, a supporting foot is distinguished from a moving foot. With this information, the locations of the joints on the local coordinate frame are calculated. The experimental results show that the presented MTL method can track the motion of and localize a person/walking robot with long-term accuracy in an infra-less environment.

본 연구에서는 고궤도 및 원거리 우주물체의 추적 및 관측이 용이한 광학관측 시스템을 이용하여 정지궤도위성을 관측하였고, 광도곡선 분석을 통해 식별정보를 획득하였다. 정지궤도 위성은 자세에어 방법에 따라 회전 안정화 위성과 3축 안정화 위성으로 나뉘며, 3축 안정화 위성은 다시 통신위성과 지구관측 위성 등으로 나뉜다. 회전 안정화 위성의 식별 연구를 위해 중국의 FY-2 위성을 관측대상으로 선정하였고, 3축 안정화 위성의 식별을 위해 한국의 COMS-1 위성을 관측 대상으로 선정하였다. 회전안정화 위성은 Sidereal Tracking Mode로 관측하면 위성의 궤적이 선 모양으로 나타난다. 이때 나타난 궤적의 pixel value 값을 확인하면 일정한 주기로 밝기가 변화 하는 것을 확인할 수 있으며, FFT를 수행하면 위성의 회전율과 회전 주기를 구할 수 있다. 3축 안정화 위성은 Stare Mode로 관측하여 측광하면 광도곡선을 획득할 수 있다. 위성의 형상을 결정하는 본체, 안테나, 태양전지판을 모델링하여 광도곡선 시뮬레이션결과와 비교하면 각각의 형상이 광도곡선에 미치는 영향과 특징을 알 수 있고, 이를 통해 식별정보를 획득할 수 있다. 이상의 분석을 통해 얻은 FY-2위성과 COMS-1 위성의 식별정보를 제시하고 향후 우주물체 식별 연구에 활용하고자 한다.

Tracking system is essential for Image Guided Surgery(IGS). Optical Tracking System(OTS) is widely used to IGS for its high accuracy and easy usage. However, OTS doesn't work when occlusion of marker occurs. In this paper sensor data fusion with OTS and Inertial Navigation System(INS) is proposed to solve this problem. The proposed system improves the accuracy of tracking system by eliminating gaussian error of the sensor and supplements the disadvantages of OTS and IMU through sensor fusion based on Kalman filter. Also, sensor calibration method that improves the accuracy is introduced. The performed experiment verifies the effectualness of the proposed algorithm.
