We propose an image-based three-dimensional shape determination system. The shape, and thus the three-dimensional coordinate information of the 3-D object, is determined solely from captured images of the 3-D object from a prescribed set of viewpoints. The approach is based on the shape-from-silhouette (SFS) technique, and the efficacy of the SFS method is tested using a sample data set. The extracted three-dimensional shape is modeled with polygons generated by a new iterative triangulation algorithm, and the polygon model can be exported to commercial software. The proposed system may be used to visualize the 3-D object efficiently, or to quickly generate initial CAD data for reverse engineering purposes, including three dimensional design applications such as 3-D animation and 3-D games.

Purpose: As cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become the most widely used 3-dimensional (3D) imaging modality in the dental field, storage space and costs for large-capacity data have become an important issue. Therefore, if 3D data can be stored at a clinically acceptable compression rate, the burden in terms of storage space and cost can be reduced and data can be managed more efficiently. In this study, a deep learning network for super-resolution was tested to restore compressed virtual CBCT images. Materials and Methods: Virtual CBCT image data were created with a publicly available online dataset (CQ500) of multidetector computed tomography images using CBCT reconstruction software (TIGRE). A very deep super-resolution (VDSR) network was trained to restore high-resolution virtual CBCT images from the low-resolution virtual CBCT images. Results: The images reconstructed by VDSR showed better image quality than bicubic interpolation in restored images at various scale ratios. The highest scale ratio with clinically acceptable reconstruction accuracy using VDSR was 2.1. Conclusion: VDSR showed promising restoration accuracy in this study. In the future, it will be necessary to experiment with new deep learning algorithms and large-scale data for clinical application of this technology.

Preoperative angiography is frequently used in the planning of microsurgical reconstruction for identification of vascular abnormality that influence the planning of operation. But, recently 3D CT angiography is considered as new technique that can provide detailed information about vascular anatomy as well as soft and bony tissue without the risks of invasive angiography. 3D CT angiograms were performed in 19 patients before microsurgical reconstruction for the lower extremity and hand between May of 2003 and Oct of 2004. Sixteen of the studies were of the donor site and all of 19 studies were of the recipient site. No complications were found from the 3D CT angiograms. In one case of the bone exposed open wound, the injury of anterior tibial artery was identified and the zone of injury was adequately demonstrated. With the improvement in quality of CT imaging, 3D CT angiograms may provide a favorable alternative to invasive angiography. It is capable of providing high-resolution, three dimensional vascular imaging without the need for arterial puncture and prolonged post-procedure observation. The relation among blood vessels, bones, and soft tissue is well demonstrated in 3D CT angiogram. Also The acquisition time and examination cost were considerably lower in comparison with invasive angiography. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that 3D CT angiography may provide accurate, safe, and cost-effective preoperative imaging. The 3D CT angiography with relatively low morbidity, low cost, ease of image acquisition can have an broader role in microsurgical reconstructive surgery.

The digital HPTV velocity field measurement consists of four steps: recording, numerical reconstruction, particle extraction and velocity extraction. In the velocity extraction process, we improved PTV algorithm to extract the displacement of particle each placed in 3D space. Because a digital recording device was used, some factors such as a spatial resolution, numerical aperture, and particle concentration can affect the performance of the digital HPTV. Especially, a particle concentration ($C_{o}$) affected tile reconstruction efficiency in numerical reconstruction and particle extraction process. In this paper, the reconstruction efficiency was analyzed experimentally with different particle concentration. Optimal reconstruction efficiency was shown in the range of $C_{o}$=$13\∼15$ particles/$mm^{3}$.

본 논문에서는 인체에 유해한 방사능 피폭량이 부챗살 형태의 Fan Beam 보다 상대적으로 적은 원추형 Cone Beam CT 시스템을 사용하여 3차원 영상을 빠르게 구성하기 위한 회전 기반법 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 그리고 계산 속도를 빠르게 하기 위하여 초월함수가 더 적은 3단계 회전 행렬을 이용하여 3차원 영상을 구현하였다. 또한 본 연구에서 구성한 영상을 일반적으로 사용되는 라돈 변환 알고리즘으로 구현된 3차원 영상과 비교하여 영상의 질은 평균적으로 단면 영상 당 10% 정도의 오차를 보이며 미약하게 저하되었으나 영상 구성 속도 면에서는 35배 개선됨을 보였다. 이는 대략 초당 $4{\sim}5$ 프레임을 얻을 수 있는 수치이며 간단한 구조를 가진 피사체라면 보다 많은 프레임을 얻을 수 있어 3차원 동영상을 실시간으로 구현할 수 있는 가능성을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 중심신경망을 이용하여 위성영상으로부터 직사각형 형태의 3차원 건물의 지붕모델을 재구성하는 방법을 연구하였다. 제안된 3차원 지붕모델 재구성 기법의 핵심은 3차원 선소의 군집화에 있다. 이를 위해 한 쌍의 스테레오 영상으로부터 구해진 DEM (Digital Elevation Map) 데이터와 2차원 선소에 의해서 3자원 선소를 발생하였다. 제안된 군집화 과정은 중심신경망을 이용한 방법에 의해 수행되며, 2단계로 구성된다. 첫 번째 단계에서는 선소 추출과정에서 끊어지거나, 중복된 3차원 선소를 건물을 이루는 주된 선소로 군집화하고, 두 번째 단계에서는 건물을 구성하는 주된 선소를 구하기 위해 서로 평행인 선소들의 군으로 군집화를 수행한다. 이 군집화 결과를 최종 클러스터링 과정을 통해 직사각형 형태의 지붕모델로 재구성하게 된다. 제안된 방법이 대전지역의 고해상도 IKONOS 위성영상에 의해 실험되었다. 재구성된 건물모델이 원래 건물의 위치와 형태를 대체로 정확히 반영하여, 본 논문에서 제안된 기법을 고해상도 위성영상에 적용하여 도시지역의 건물모델을 구축하는데 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음이 입증되었다.

Purpose: To see the gross tumor volume (GTV) dependency according to the phase selection and reconstruction methods, we measured and analyzed the changes of tumor volume and motion at each phase in 20 cases with lung cancer patients who underwent image-guided radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) images in 20 cases of 19 patients who underwent image-guided radiotherapy. The 4D-CT images were reconstructed by the maximum intensity projection (MIP) and the minimum intensity projection (Min-IP) method after sorting phase as 40%-60%, 30%-70%, and 0%-90%. We analyzed the relationship between the range of motion and the change of GTV according to the reconstruction method. Results: The motion ranges of GTVs are statistically significant only for the tumor motion in craniocaudal direction. The discrepancies of GTV volume and motion between MIP and Min-IP increased rapidly as the wider ranges of duty cycles are selected. Conclusion: As narrow as possible duty cycle such as 40%-60% and MIP reconstruction was suitable for lung cancer if the respiration was stable. Selecting the reconstruction methods and duty cycle is important for small size and for large motion range tumors.

In this paper, we present a method to automatically quantify the three-dimensional (3D) volume of red blood cells (RBCs) using off-axis digital holographic microscopy. The RBCs digital holograms are recorded via a CCD camera using an off-axis interferometry setup. The RBCs' phase image is reconstructed from the recorded off-axis digital hologram by a computational reconstruction algorithm. The watershed segmentation algorithm is applied to the reconstructed phase image to remove background parts and obtain clear targets in the phase image with many single RBCs. After segmenting the reconstructed RBCs' phase image, all single RBCs are extracted, and the 3D volume of each single RBC is then measured with the surface area and the phase values of the corresponding RBC. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method to automatically calculate the 3D volume of RBC, two typical shapes of RBCs, i.e., stomatocyte/discocyte, are tested via experiments. Statistical distributions of 3D volume for each class of RBC are generated by using our algorithm. Statistical hypothesis testing is conducted to investigate the difference between the statistical distributions for the two typical shapes of RBCs. Our experimental results illustrate that our study opens the possibility of automated quantitative analysis of 3D volume in various types of RBCs.
