인간의 좌·우 두 눈에 투영되는 2차원 영상의 양안 시차를 이용하여 물체의 깊이를 인식하는 스테레어 영상이라고 한다. 이러한 2차원 스테레오 영상으로부터 3차원 모델 생성을 위한 깊이 정보를 알기 위해서는 각각의 두 영상에 대응되는 점의 위치를 알 수 있는 변위의 추정이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 블록 크기에 매우 민감하게 영향 받는 영역기반 방식의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 경계선 정보를 이용한 가변 블록 방식의 변위 추정을 수행한다. 이것은 블록의 크기를 경계선 정보에 따라 가변적으로 정함으로써 정밀한 변위 추성을 할 수 있고 또한 계산량도 많이 줄일 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 이렇게 추정된 변위 정보를 이용하여 특징점에 대한 깊이 정보를 찾아 3차원 모델을 생성한다.

3차원 유한요소 지하수 모형인 FEMWATER를 이용하여 실험실내에 축조된 모형 제방의 정상상태 침투흐름을 분석하였다. 수치 모형의 비교와 검증을 위해 실험실내에 모형 제방을 축조하였다. 홍수위 증가에 따른 비정상 상태의 침투수위 변화를 모의하였으며, 제외지 수위는 0.15 m, 0.20 m, 0.25 m, 0.30 m의 4가지 수심(각각 Case1~4) 조건으로 하였다. FEMWATER 모형의 매개변수는 투수계수, 수리전도도가 있으며, 각 매개변수에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 수치모델링은 수리모형실험과 실험조건을 동일하게 하였으며, 수리모형실험에서 사용한 제방재료의 투수계수를 사용하였으며 제방의 투수계수는 1.35 m/day이다. 수치모형에 사용한 3차원 ?자의 층별 최대 높이는 0.05 m로 제한하였으며 3차원 유한요소망은 삼각형 요소를 사용하였다. 수치해석 결과는 수리모형실험 결과와 비교적 같은 양상을 보였으며, 침윤선의 상태를 확인할 수 있었다.

의료영상에서 윤곽선의 추출은 관심영역 대한 객관적인 수치 즉 면적, 부피, 장단축의 길이 등을 분석하고 3차원 재구성을 위해 선행되어야 하는 중요한 과정이다. 현재 윤곽선 추출에 대한 않은 방법들이 개발 중에 있으나 이 방법들은 한계를 지니고 있어 더 높은 수준의 처리가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 active contour model(snake)을 이용하여 MR뇌 영상에서 종양을 추출하였다. Snake의 에너지 최적화 문제를 dynamic programming을 사용하여 개선하였으며 canny edge detection을 이용하여 잡음에 덜 민감하도록 하였다.

The flexibility of long reach manipulators presents a difficult control problem when accurate end-point position is required. Input shaping by convolving system commands with impulse sequences has been shown to be an effective method of reducing residual vibrations in flexible systems. However, existing shapers have been considered robustness fur only frequency uncertainty. However, this paper presents new multi-hump convolution(CV) input shaper that could accommodate with the simultaneous variation of natural frequency and damping ratio. Comparisons with previously proposed input shapers are presented to illustrate the qualities of the new input shaper. These new shapers will be shown to have better robustness fur the variation of frequency and damping ratio.

By using a simple conceptual model, a sensitivity analysis is performed to examine the effects of changing model parameters on the model outputs, the groundwater discharge and the radius of influence, induced by tunnel construction. The results indicate that the model outputs are most sensitive to the tunnel depth and the hydraulic conductivity, and their sensitivities vary with time. It is also revealed that the sensitivity of the specific yield in- creases constantly with time, and therefore it is as important as the hydraulic conductivity for constructing a wet-system tunnel. A transient model is suggested to simulate the stepwise tunnel excavation and the watertight lining. The model is used for a tunnel construction site to predict groundwater mow into the tunnel and the transient response of the surrounding aquifer system. The predicted results are highly sensitive to the hydraulic conductivites assigned by model calibration. Thus, a postaudit should be made to reduce the uncertainty of the predictive model.

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.

Recently non-invasive diagnostic imaging replaced the invasive catheter angiography in the diagnosis of vascular disease. Catheter methods are now almost confined to the purpose of intervention. Coronary artery or coronary artery bypass graft still needs catheter technique because of small diameter and the cardiac motion. The last challenge for radiologists in this domain is to obtain a non-invasive imaging. Electron beam tomography(EBT) for high temporal resolution is able to obtain a coronary arteriogram or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), of which CABG imaging is quite useful for the evaluation of patency. In our experience as well as others, the accuracy of EBT angiogram in evaluating CABG patency revealed that the accuracy of patency of saphenous vein grafts(SVG) is high due to relatively wide lumen, short and straight course and less influence from cardiac motion. The sensitivity and specificity of patency of SVGs were 92%, 97% respectively in the prospective evaluat on and 100% each in the retrospective evaluation. A false positive and a false negative case are rudimentary errors in the initial learing period. In contrast the analysis of left internal mammary artery(LIMA) graft was difficult due to the inherent small size and the adjacent surgical clips provoking beam-hardening artifact; therefore, the method of combining 3 dimensional reconstruction and flow mode study was important in improving the accuracy of LIMA patency. The sensitivity and specificity of LIMA patency were 100% and 80% in both prospective and retrospective evaluation. Therefore, EBT angiography is an accurate non-invasive diagnostic modality for evaluating the patency of CABG, particularly in SVGs. The accuracy can be improved with the improvement of the EBT and the development of the image reconstruction software.

Videooculography (VOG) is one of the eye-movement measurement methods used for objective evaluation of vestibule -ocular reflex. A key feature of VOG is to estimate accurately the center of pupil and ocular torsion with being less influenced by the upper eyelid droop, eyelashes, corneal reflection, and eye blinks. Especially, it Is important to find the accurate center of the pupil in 3-D VOG because the inaccurate pupil center causes significant errors on measuring torsional eye movement. A new algorithm was proposed to find the center of pupil which is a little influenced by factors mentioned above. In this study, real time three-dimensional VOG which can measure horizontal, vortical, torsional eye movements, and the diameter of pupil was implemented using the proposed method.

This paper presents the closing analysis of a symmetric steel cable-stayed bridge erected by a free cantilever method. Two independent structural systems are formed before the closing procedure of a bridge is performed, and thus the compatibility conditions for vertical displacement and rotational angle are not satisfied at the closing section without the application of proper sectional forces. Since, however, it is usually impossible to apply sectional forces at the closing section, the compatibility conditions should be satisfied by proper external forces that can be actually applicable to a bridge. Unstrained lengths of selected cables and the pull-up force of a derrick crane are adjusted to satisfy nonlinear compatibility conditions, which are solved iteratively by the Newton-Raphson method. Cable members are modeled by the elastic catenary cable elements, and towers and main girders are discretized by linear 3-D frame elements. The sensitivities of displacement with respect to the unstrained lengths of selected cables and the pull-up force of the derrick crane are evaluated by the direct differentiation of the equilibrium equation. A Monte-Carlo simulation approach is proposed to estimate expected construction errors for a given confidence level. The proposed method is applied to the second Jindo Grand Bridge to demonstrate its validity and effectiveness.
