Volume rendering is a method of displaying volumetric data as a sequence two-dimensional image. Because this algorithm has an advantage of visualizing structures within objects, it has recently been used to analyze medical images i.e, MRI, PET, and SPECT. In this paper. we suggested a method for creating images easily from sampled volumetric data and applied the interpolation method to medical images. Additionally, we implemented and applied two kinds of interpolation methods to improve the image quality, linear interpolation and cubic interpolation at the sampling stage. Subsequently, we compared the results of volume rendered data using a transfer function. We anticipate a significant contribution to diagnosis through image reconstruction using a volumetric data set, because volume rendering techniques of medical images are the result of 3-dimensional data.

3D medical image reconstruction techniques are useful to figure out complex 3D structures from the set of 2D sections. In the paper, 3D medical image reconstruction system is constructed under PC environment and programmed based on modular programming by using Visual C++ 4.2. The whole procedures are composed of data preparation, gradient estimation, classification, shading, transformation and ray-casting & compositing. Three speed optimization techniques are used for accelerating 3D medical image reconstruction technique. One is to reduce the rays when cast rays to reconstruct 3D medical image, another is to reduce the voxels to be calculated and the other is to apply early ray termination. To implement 3D medical image reconstruction system based on PC, speed optimization techniques are experimented and applied.

본 논문에서는 광대역 소음원의 위치를 탐지하여 2차원 영상면에 소음원을 영상화할수 있는 3차원 배열을 제안하였다. 배열 요소간의 상호상관함수가 2차원 영상면의 화소의 밝기에 대응되도록 영상함수를 유도하였으며 영상면은 사각면 및 원통면등으로 선택가능 하도록 하여 소음원의 위치동정 해석이 용이하도록 하였다. 몇가지 소음원에 대한 수치 모의실험결과는 제안된 배열이 소음원의 3차원적인 동정 해석 등에 응용될 수 있음을 보인다.

A 4D light field image is represented in traditional 2D spatial domain and additional 2D angular domain. The 4D light field has a resolution limitation both in spatial and angular domains since 4D signals are captured by 2D CMOS sensor with limited resolution. In this paper, we propose a dictionary learning-based superresolution algorithm in 4D light field domain to overcome the resolution limitation. The proposed algorithm performs dictionary learning using a large number of extracted 4D light field patches. Then, a high resolution light field image is reconstructed from a low resolution input using the learned dictionary. In this paper, we reconstruct a 4D light field image to have double resolution both in spatial and angular domains. Experimental result shows that the proposed method outperforms the traditional method for the test images captured by a commercial light field camera, i.e. Lytro.

Recently, a drone is used for the general purpose application although the drone was builtfor the military purpose. A drone is actively used for the creation of contents, and an image acquisition. In this paper, we develop a 3D library module platform using 3D mesh model data, which is generated by a drone image and its point cloud. First, a lot of 2D image data are taken by a drone, and a point cloud data is generated from 2D drone images. A 3D mesh data is acquired from point cloud data. Then, we develop a service library platform using a transformed 3D data for multi-purpose uses. Our platform with 3D data can minimize the cost and time of contents creation for special effects during the production of a movie, drama, or documentary. Our platform can contribute the creation of experts for the digital contents production in the field of a realistic media, a special image, and exhibitions.

The nature of complexity of medical images makes them difficult to segment using standard techniques. Therefore the usual approaches to segment images continue to predominantly involve manual interaction. But it tediously consumes a good deal of time and efforts of the experts. Hereby a nonmanual parameters estimation which can replace the manual interaction is needed to solve the problem of redundant manual works for an image segmentation. This paper attempts to estimate parameters for an image region segmentation using Scale Space Filtering. This attempt results in estimating the number of regions, their boundary and each representatives to be segmented 2-dimensionally and 3-dimensionally. Using this algorithm, we may diminish the problem of wasted time and efforts for finding prerequisite segmentation parameters, and lead the relatively reasonable result of region segmentation.

2차원 슬라이스 영상으로부터 volume rendered 이미지를 생성하기 위해서는 2차원 영상의 pixel 데이터를 voxel 기반으로 재구성해야 한다. 영상을 재구성하면서 생성되는 voxel value 는 3차원 영상을 2차원 화면으로 원근 투영할 때 최종 픽셀값을 결정하는 기본 요소가 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 조합되는 voxel value를 결정하는 Transfer Function를 이용한 intensity 와 gradient magnitude 의조작을 통하여 최종 3차원 이미지에서 오브젝트의 surface 뿐만 아니라 내부의 서로 다른 조직끼리의 경계 영역을 가시화하여 보았다.

In this paper, we are propose a method to estimate the 2-D mesh from structured light image for reconstruction of 3-D face image. To acquire the structured light image, we are project structured light on the face using the projector. we are extract the projected cross points from the acquire image. The 2-D mesh image is extracted from the position and angle of cross points. In the extraction processing, the error was fixed to extract the correct 2-D mesh.
