Control of tool-environment interaction force to comply the robot system to an environment is of vital in many automated process. This paper presents the implementation of an adaptive force control with commercial robot system in two dimensional contour following task. A model reference adaptive control system, combined with the linear compensators, is implemented. That is, a use of adaptive control is to provide an auxiliary control system so that the contour following performance can be improved from that of using linear control system only. Hyperstability is used to derive the adaptive control law. Experimental verification of the proposed control system is obtained using PUMA 560 robot system. Data obtained experimentally shows that the use of additional adaptive control system improves the contour following performance about 30% in RMS contact force errors upon that of the system controlled by the linear compensators only.

This paper shows some results on the reconstruction of a 3-D structural information of contour map image obtained from camera. To extract height, 2 image frames are used, one for ordering of the contour and the other for height calculation. Wire frame method and Phong shading algorithm are used for 3-D reconstruction.

The study is to automatically or semi-automatically detect the accurate contour of tumors or lesions using active contour models (Snakes) in the MRI images of the brain. In the study we have improved the energy-minimization problem of snakes using dynamic programming and have utilized the values of the canny edge detector by the image force to make the snake less sensitive in noises. For the extracted boundary, the inside area, the perimeter and its center coordinates could be calculated. In addition, the multiple 2D slices with the contour of the lesion wore combined to visualized the shape of the lesion in 3D. We expect that the proposed method in this paper will be useful to make a treatment plan as well as to evaluate the treatments.

Bit-depth expansion is a process of enhancing the image quality by increasing the number of intensity levels. To solve this problem, a hybrid method is proposed, where the pixels are categorized into smooth and complex regions, and are processed using different methods. The pixels in the smooth region are reconstructed with a smooth prior, and a Bayesian estimator is used for the pixels in the complex region. The proposed method effectively removes the false contour artifacts while requiring less computation than conventional methods. In addition, the method shows good quantitative performance, and the PSNR gains over the best existing method are 1.45 dB and 0.26 dB for 4 bits and 3 bits expansion cases, respectively.

CT, MRI와 같은 의료 영상을 3차원 재구성을 통해 3차원으로 가시화하는 기술은 의료 분야에서 진단과 진료에 많이 활용되고 있다. 이는 의사에게 정확한 진단과 시술에 대한 확신을 환자에게는 시술에 대한 이해와 신뢰를 심어준다. 치아의 경우 치과 진료가 개개의 치아에 이루어진다는 점을 고려하면 개개의 치아가 개별적으로 모델링 되어 3차원 상에 가시화 되어야 한다. Contour 기반 알고리즘은 2차원 단면 데이터로부터 고속 렌더링과 높은 품질의 3차원 모델 생성이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 CT에서 추출한 치아 contour 데이터로부터 삼각형 패치를 생성하고, 어금니의 분기 문제를 해결하는 3차원 치아 모델 생성을 위한 contour 기반 알고리즘을 제안한다.

This paper presents face recognition algorithm using projection vector reflecting local feature for the area in contour lines. The outline shape of a face has many difficulties to distinguish people because human has similar face shape. For 3 dimensional(3D) face images include depth information, we can extract different face shapes from the nose tip using some depth values for a face image. In this thesis deals with 3D face image, because the extraction of contour lines from 2 dimensional face images is hard work. After finding nose tip, we extract two areas in the contour lilies from some depth values from 3D face image which is obtained by 3D laser scanner. And we propose a method of projection vector to localize the characteristics of image and reduce the number of index data in database. Euclidean distance is used to compare of similarity between two images. Proposed algorithm can be made recognition rate of 94.3% for face shapes using depth information.

The current paper proposes a new vertex selection scheme for polygon-based contour coding. To efficiently characterize the shape of an object, we incorporate the curvature information in addition to the conventional maximum distance criterion in vertex selection process. The proposed method consists of "two-step procedure." At first, contour pixels of high curvature value are selected as key vortices based on the curvature scale space (CSS), thereby dividing an overall contour into several contour-segments. Each segment is considered as an open contour whose end points are two consecutive key vortices and is processed independently. In the second step, vertices for each contour segment are selected using progressive vertex selection (PVS) method in order to obtain minimum number of vertices under the given maximum distance criterion ( $D_{max}$$^{*}$). Furthermore, the obtained vortices are adjusted using the dynamic programming (DP) technique to optimal positions in the error area sense. Experimental results are presented to compare the approximation performances of the proposed and conventional methods.imation performances of the proposed and conventional methods.

In order to create three-dimensional model for human body, a method that reconstructs geometric models from contour lines on cross-section images is commonly used. We can get a set of contour lines by acquiring CT or MR images and segmenting anatomical structures. Previously proposed method divides entire contour line into simply matched regions and clefts. Since long processing time is required for reconstructing cleft regions, its performance might be degraded when manipulating complex data such as cross-sections for human body. In this paper, we propose a fast reconstruction method. It generates a triangle strip with single tiling operation for simple region that does not contain branch structures. If there exist branches in contour lines, it partitions the contour line into several sub-contours by considering the number of vertices and their spatial distribution. We implemented an automatic surface reconstruction system by using our method which reconstructs three-dimensional models for anatomical structures.

This study is to investigate the characteristic of tonal elements in word utterance of 30 pre-school children. For the analyses, 240 utterances of 4 syllable words were processed to extract acoustic values and then the data was transformed into tonal height in order to examine the contour. The results show that the mean pitch of a note is $C4{\frac{1}{2}}(271.17Hz)$ and high and low pitched notes are $C5{\frac{1}{2}}(452.57Hz)$ and $G{\sharp}3{\frac{1}{2}}(192.54Hz)$. The pitch patterns of the 4 syllables measured at the frication and aspiration portion are $E4{\frac{1}{2}}-F4-B3{\frac{1}{2}}-A3$ and F4-E4-B3-A3. The pitch patterns of consonant clusters are $B3{\frac{1}{2}}-D4-B3{\frac{1}{2}}-A3{\frac{1}{2}}$ and $A{\sharp}3{\frac{1}{2}}-C4-A3-D4{\frac{1}{2}}$. The analyses of tonal elements in this study provide evidentiary data on tonal height helpful for developing melodic contour.
