The shape of small or curved object is usually reconstructed using a single camera by moving its lens position to find a sequence of the focused images. Most conventional methods have used a window with fixed shape to test the focus measure, which resulted in a deterioration of accuracy. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new approach of using a shape adaptive window. It estimates the shape of the object at every step and applies the same shape of window to calculate the focus measure. Focus measure is based on the variance of the pixels inside the window. This paper includes the experimental results.

Unlike regular images, there is no ground truth for bio surface images. Result of biosurface imaging is not only significantly affected by the environment and the condition of the bio surface, it requires more detailed expression than regular images. Therefore, unlike algorithms tested on regular images, studies on bio surface images requires a highly precise optimization process. We aim to optimize the graph cut algorithm, known to be the most outstanding among the stereo visions, by considering baseline, lambda, and disparity range. Optimal results were in the range of 1~10 for lambda. The disparity ranged from -30 to -50, indicating an optimal value in a slightly higher range. Furthermore, we verified the tested optimization data using SIFT.

The results obtained can be summarize as follows : (1) It was known that the boats used in this study have more narrow hull form than that of ancient fishing boats and their hull form was improved around 1900. (2) Keel was composed of bar keel with angle cross section. The stem corner have a material of bar stem and makes a sharp pointed stem. (3) Shell plate was jointed by the rabbetted clinker joint method. (4) It was investigated that anchovy drag net fishing boat has high L/B, L/D, B/D value as compared with drift gill net fishing boat. (5) Two boats have a good stability and particularly anchovy drag net fishing boat have a better stability value in comparison to the drift gill net fishing boat.

An alkaline proteinase secreted from Yarrowia lipolytica 504D was purified by salting-out and column chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was about 32,000 Da estimated by SDS-PAGE. The optimal condition for the activity of the enzyme was at pH 9.5 and $42^{\circ}C$ The enzyme was stable up to $45^{\circ}C$ and at the range of pH 4-10. Because the enzyme was inhibited by PMSF as well as EDTA, EGTA, and phenan-throlin, it is uncertain whether the enzyme is serine proteinase or metalloproteinase. However, almost all metal salts tested did not increase the enzyme activity, and Ca salt restored the activity of the enzyme inactivated by EDTA. Therefore, the purified enzyme seems to be an serine proteinase (E.C. 3.4.21.14).

Generally, it is essential to estimate exact disparity for the 3D modeling from stereo images. Because existing methods calculate disparities from a whole image, they require too much cimputational time and bring about the mismatching problem. In this article, using the characteristic that the disparity vectors in stereo images are distributed not equally in a whole image but only exist about the background and obhect, we do a wavelet transformation on stereo images and estimate coarse disparity fields from the reduced lowpass field using area-based method at first-step. From these coarse disparity vectors, we generate disparity histogram and then separate object from background area using it. Afterwards, we restore only object area to the original image and estimate dense and accurate disparity by our two-step pixel-based method which does not use pixel brightness but use second gradient. We also extract feature points from the separated object area and estimate depth information by applying disparity vectors and camera parameters. Finally, we generate 3D model using both feature points and their z coordinates. By using our proposed, we can considerably reduce the computation time and estimate the precise disparity through the additional pixel-based method using LOG filter. Furthermore, our proposed foreground/background method can solve the mismatching problem of existing Delaunay triangulation and generate accurate 3D model.

The stagnant growth in 3D market due to 3D movie contents shortage is encouraging development of techniques for production cost reduction. Elimination of vertical disparity generated during image acquisition requires heaviest time and effort in the whole stereoscopic film-making process. This matter is directly related to competitiveness in the market and is being dealt with as a very important task. The removal of vertical disparity, i.e. image rectification has been treated for a long time in the photogrammetry field. While computer vision methods are focused on fast processing and automation, photogrammetry methods on accuracy and precision. However, photogrammetric approaches have not been tried for the 3D film-making. In this paper, proposed is a photogrammetry-based rectification algorithm that enable to eliminate the vertical disparity precisely by reconstruction of geometric relationship at the time of shooting. Evaluation of proposed algorithm was carried out by comparing the performance with two existing computer vision algorithms. The epipolar constraint satisfaction, epipolar line accuracy and vertical disparity of result images were tested. As a result, the proposed algorithm showed excellent performance than the other algorithms in term of accuracy and precision, and also revealed robustness about position error of tie-points.

1. Objectives The Face is an important standard for the classification of Sasang Contitutions. We are developing 3D Face Automatic Recognition Apparatus to analyse the facial characteristics. So We should examine a shape demobilization error of 3D Face Automatic Recognition Apparatus. 2. Methods We compared facial shape data be demobilized by 3D Face Automatic Recognition Apparatus with facial shape data that be demobilized by 3D laser scanner. The subject was two korean men. And We analysed the average error and the maximum error of two data. In this process, We used one datum point(the peak of nose) and two datum line(vertical section and horizontal section). 3. Results and Conclusions In each this comparison, the average error of vertical section was 1.962574mm and 2.703814mm. and the maximum error of vertical section was 16.968249mm and 18.61464mm. the average error of horizontal section was 4.173203mm and 21.487479mm. and the maximum error of horizontal section was 3.571210mm and 17.13255mm. Also We complemented this apparatus a little and We reexamined a shape demobilization error of 3D Face Automatic Recognition Apparatus again. Accuracy of a shape demobilization was improved a little. From now on We complement accuracy of a shape demobilization in 3D Face Recognition Apparatus.

Different biological tissues have different values of electrical resistivity. In EIT (electrical impedance tomography), we try to provide cross-sectional images of a resistivity distribution inside an electrically conducting subject such as the human body mainly for functional imaging. However, it is well known that the image reconstruction problem in EIT is ill-posed and the quality of a reconstructed image highly depends on the measurement error. This requires us to develop a high-performance EIT system. In this paper, we describe the development of a 16-channel digital EIT system including a single constant current source, 16 voltmeters, main controller, and PC. The system was designed and implemented using the FPGA-based digital technology. The current source injects 50KHz sinusoidal current with the THD (total harmonic distortion) of 0.0029% and amplitude stability of 0.022%. The single current source and switching circuit reduce the measurement error associated with imperfect matching of multiple current sources at the expense of a reduced data acquisition time. The digital voltmeter measuring the induced boundary voltage consists of a differential amplifier, ADC, and FPGA (field programmable gate array). The digital phase-sensitive demodulation technique was implemented in the voltmeter to maximize the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio). Experimental results of 16-channel digital voltmeters showed the SNR of 90dB. We used the developed EIT system to reconstruct resistivity images of a saline phantom containing banana objects. Based on the results, we suggest future improvements for a 64-channel muff-frequency EIT system for three-dimensional dynamic imaging of bio-impedance distributions inside the human body.
