본 논문에서는 충치 환자의 진단을 위해 구강 영상에서 충치를 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 구강은 붉은색을 띄고 치아는 흰색을 띈다는 특징이 있기 때문에, 구강 영상을 YCbCr 컬러모델로 변환한다. YCbCr 컬러모델에 임계치를 설정하여 붉은 영역을 검출해내고, 검출된 붉은 영역에 대해 이진화하여 치아 영역을 추출한다. 그 후, 모폴로지 기법을 이용하여 잡음 제거 및 치아의 빈 공간을 채운다. 치아 영역 추출 시 영상에 따라 치아 사이를 잇는 모서리 부분이 손실된 경우가 발생할 수 있기 때문에 치아 사이의 손실된 부분을 연결 한다. 치아 영역에 ART2 알고리즘을 적용하여 클러스터링하고 충치 후보 영역을 추출한다. 충치 후보 영역에 8방향 윤곽선 추적 기법을 적용하여 충치를 분석 및 추출한다. 실험 결과 81%의 추출 성공률을 보였고 다양한 형태의 충치를 효과적으로 추출할 수 있는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we investigate a spectrum sharing scheme based on the interference temperature (IT), that is a recently introduced receiver-centric metric by FCC. We extend the existing frequency sharing procedure for single CR to the one for multiple CRs (or secondary users, SUs). In the proposed interference model, we consider the practical operating characteristics of primary users (PUs), stochastically activated (ON)/deactivated (OFF) at the time axis, and analyze quantitatively the CR user capacity based on the model. We define the instantaneous capacity for idle time-slot channel allocation and the mean capacity averaging this instantaneous capacity and use them for a proper frequency sharing. Apart from existing schemes, the proposed frequency sharing scheme changes the frequency parameters adaptively depending on the channel characteristics and does not need any sensing information from PUs. Through computer simulation, we verify the proposed model.

오염된 지하수 정화에 있어 반응벽체(Permeable Reactive Barriers, PRBs)를 이용한 정화기법은 최근 가장 큰 관심을 모으고 있는 기술이다. 반응벽체의 적용에 있어 가장 중요한 사항은 오염물질의 특성을 고려하여 적절한 반응성을 가지는 충진물질을 선택하는 일이다. 지금까지 연구된 반응물질 중 제올라이트는 취득이 용이하고 가격이 저렴하여, 암모늄이나 중금속과 같은 양이온성 오염물질의 정화에 그 적용성을 인정받아왔다. 하지만 표면에 음전하를 띠는 제올라이트의 특성 때문에, 지하수내에서 음이온의 형태로 존재하는 Cr(VI) 등에는 반응성이 없는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 이에 본 연구에서는 제올라이트에 영가철을 결합한 ZanF란 물질을 개발하여 양이온성 중금속의 하나인 납과 음이온성 중금속의 하나인 Cr(VI)을 동시 제거하는 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 ZanF는 초기농도 2-15mmol를 가지는 납 오염용액에 대해 90% 이상의 제거율을 보였으며, 초기농도 0.1 mmol을 가지는 Cr(VI) 오염용액의 농도를 5시간 내에 검출한계 이하로 떨어뜨리는 탁월한 효과를 보였다. 실험결과를 토대로 ZanF는 납과 Cr(VI)으로 동시에 오염된 지하수 정화에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있으리라 기대된다.

In this paper, we propose a method that reduces mobile user's handover call dropping probability by using cognitive radio technology(CR) in cellular - based wireless cognitive radio networks. The proposed method predicts a cell to visit by Ziv-Lempel algorithm, and then supports mobile user with prediction of spectrum holes based on CR technology when allocated channels are short in the cell. We make neural network predict spectrum hole resources, and make handover calls use the resources before initial calls. Simulation results show CR technology has the capability to reduce mobile user handover call dropping probability in cellular mobile communication networks.

In this paper, we analysis wideband spectrum sensing with distance based weight combining for Cognitive Radio (CR) systems. CR systems is implemented the spectrum of the Primary User(PU) by using a energy detection method. Threshold is determined in accordance with the constant false alarm rate (CFAR) algorithm for energy detection. The signal of PU is BPSK signal and the wireless channel between a PU and CR systems is modeled as Gaussian channel. From the simulation results, the wideband sensing with distance based and Distance based weight Combing (DWC) methods shows higher spectrum sensing performance than single CR user spectrum sensing.

본 논문에서는 MPLS 네트워크 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 기존의 경로 복원 기법들을 시뮬레이션하고 각각의 성능을 비교 분석한다. MPLS 네트워크 시뮬레이터는 레이블 스위칭 기능 및 LDP와 CR-LDP를 지원하는 시뮬레이터이다. 시뮬레이션할 경로 복원 기법으로써 가장 많이 참조되고 있는 Haskin에 의해 제안된 기법과 Makam에 의해서 제안된 기법을 선택한다. 시뮬레이션 결과, Haskin의 기법은 노드에러 시에도 패킷의 손실은 거의 없지만 노드가 복구된 후에는 트래픽이 급격히 증가할 뿐만 아니라 순서가 맞지 않는 패킷의 양도 증가는 문제가 있다. Makam의 기법은 노드 에어 시에 패킷의 손실이 큰 단점을 가지고 있다.

An absorption spectrometry coupled with flow injection analysis has been developed and tested for the analysis of the Cr$_2O_7^{2-}$/Nn$O_4^-$ mixtures. Even though one has to inject the sample twice into the FIA system and the process of the sample treatment is required to completely destroy the Mn$O_4^-$ ion for the analysis of the Cr$_2O_7^{2-}$ ion, the new method has definite advantages over the current method. It utilizes only a single analytical wavelength (570 nm) and enables one to construct calibration curves which accurately follow the Beer's law over wide ranges of analytical concentrations of both ions ($2.0{\times}10^{-6}$M∼$8.0{\times}10^{-3}$M for Cr$_2O_7^{2-}$ ion, $2.0{\times}10^{-6}$M∼$4.0{\times}10^{-3}$M for MnO4- ion).

A reliable detection of regions in radiography is one of the most important task before the evaluation of defects on welded joints. The extracted features is to be classified into distinctive clusters for each segmented region. But conventional segmentation techniques give unsatisfactory results for this task due to the spatial superposition of intensity and low signal-to-ratio(SNR) in radiographic images. The usage of global or local processes not only provide the necessary noise resistance but also fail in classification of regions. In this paper, we presents an appropriate approach for segmentation of region-based indications in industrial Computed Radiography(CR) images. The geometric differences between welded and non-welded area which is generated on radiography as the representative regions(background, thickness, middle and welded region in steel tube image) have constructed the hierarchical structure. Although this structure is contaminated by noise, the scheme between regions can be selected by the help of local clustering based on distinctive geometric property of each region. Because of the geometric nature of the considered region and so that the region is selected layer by layer, and that the real class represents the boundary between regions, the vertical and horizontal clustering process in each layer must be judicious. In order to show the effectiveness of this approach, a comparative experiment of various segmentation method is performed on industrial steel tube CR images.

Purpose: To assess the ability of in vivo H-1 MRS to determine the degree of malignancy and to characterize the histopathologic type of intracranial solid tumors. Materials and Methods: In vivo H-1 MR spectra of the pathologically-proven 81 intracranial soild tumors (low-grade glioma 17 cases, high-grade glioma 31 cases, lymphoma 9 cases, meningioma 8 cases, central neurocytoma 4 cases, medulloblastoma 3 cases, PNET 3 cases, metastasis 2 cases, others 4 cases) were analyzed. H-1 MR spectroscopy was performed on a 1.5T MR unit using PRESS sequence with a TR of 2000ms, a TE of 270 or 135ms and a voxel size of $2{\times}2{\times}2cm^3$ for all spectra. N-acetyl aspartate (NAA)/Creatine complex(Cr), Choline complex (Cho)/Cr, and lactate (Lac)/Cr ratios were measured on the peak heights of each resonance and compared among the different tumors. Results: All intracranial solid tumors demonstrated decreased NAA, elevated Cho and lactate, and variable Cr levels. All tumors showed increased Cho/Cr and Lac/Cr, whereas NAA/Cr level was decreased. Mean Cho/Cr and Lac/Cr ratios were significantly higher in high-grade gliomas than in low-grade gliomas. However, NAA/Cr ratio showed no significant difference between low-grade and high-grade gliomas. Very high Cho peaks were seen in lymphomas, meningiomas, medulloblastomas, and neurocytomas in addition to high-grade gliomas. Conclusion: H-1 MRS may be useful in differentiating between low-grade and high-grade gliomas, however cannot characterize the histologic types or subtypes of tumors.

Most video coding systems use YCbCr color space for their inputs, but RGB space is more preferred in the field of high fidelity video because the compression gain from YCbCr becomes disappeared in the high quality operation region. In order to improve the coding performance of RGB video signal, this paper presents an adaptive frequency-selective weighted prediction algorithm. Based on the sign agreement and the strength of frequency-domain correlation of residual color planes, the proposed scheme adaptively selects the frequency elements as well as the corresponding prediction weights for better utilization of inter-plane correlation of RGB signal. Experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm improves the coding gain of around 13% bitrate reduction, on average, compared to the common mode of 4:4:4 video coding in the state-of-the-art video compression standard, H.264/AVC.
