In todays security industry, personal identification is also based on biometric. Biometric identification is performed basing on the measurement and comparison of physiological and behavioral characteristics, Biometric for recognition includes voice dynamics, signature dynamics, hand geometry, fingerprint, iris, etc. Iris can serve as a kind of living passport or living password. Iris recognition system is the one of the most reliable biometrics recognition system. This is applied to client/server system such as the electronic commerce and electronic banking from stand-alone system or networks, ATMs, etc. A new algorithm using nonlinear function in recognition process is proposed in this paper. An algorithm is proposed to determine the localized iris from the iris image received from iris input camera in client. For the first step, the algorithm determines the center of pupil. For the second step, the algorithm determines the outer boundary of the iris and the pupillary boundary. The localized iris area is transform into polar coordinates. After performing three times Wavelet transformation, normalization was done using sigmoid function. The converting binary process performs normalized value of pixel from 0 to 255 to be binary value, and then the converting binary process is compare pairs of two adjacent pixels. The binary code of the iris is transmitted to the by server. the network. In the server, the comparing process compares the binary value of presented iris to the reference value in the University database. Process of recognition or rejection is dependent on the value of Hamming Distance. After matching the binary value of presented iris with the database stored in the server, the result is transmitted to the client.

In this paper, a new intermediate view reconstruction method employing a stereo image rectification algorithm by which an uncalibrated input stereo image can be transformed into the calibrated one is suggested and its performance is analyzed. In the proposed method, feature point are extracted from the stereo image pair though detection of the corners and similarities between each pixel of the stereo image. And then, using these detected feature points, the moving vectors between stereo image and the epipolar line is extracted. Finally, the input stereo image is rectified by matching the extracted epipolar line between the stereo image in the horizontal direction and intermediate views are reconstructed by using these rectified stereo images. From some experiments on synthesis of the intermediate views by using three kinds of stereo image; a CCETT's stereo image of 'Man' and two stereo images of 'Face' ＆ 'Car' captured by real camera, it is analyzed that PSNRs of the intermediate views reconstructed from the calibrated image by using the proposed rectification algorithm are improved by 2.5㏈ for 'Man', 4.26㏈ for 'Pace' and 3.85㏈ for 'Car' than !hose of the uncalibrated ones. This good experimental result suggests a possibility of practical application of the unposed stereo image rectification algorithm-based intermediate view reconstruction view to the uncalibrated stereo images.

In this paper, we develop a fast view synthesis method that generates multiple intermediate views in real-time for the 3D display system when the camera geometry and depth map of reference views are given in advance. The proposed method achieves faster view synthesis than previous approaches in GPU by processing in parallel the entire computations required for the view synthesis. Specifically, we use $CUDA^{TM}$ (by NVIDIA) to control GPU device. For increasing the processing speed, we adapted all the processes for the view synthesis to single instruction multiple data (SIMD) structure that is a main feature of CUDA, maximized the use of the high-speed memories on GPU device, and optimized the implementation. As a result, we could synthesize 9 intermediate view images with the size of 720 by 480 pixels within 0.128 second.

Today, people who live in sea of information are strongly appearing desire about quicker and more accurate information. For a long time people wanted to know information about place that I am and where I must go out, and there are various methods to have a keen desire for position information. Equipment that is using most among the method is digital camera. In this study, the accuracy of external orientation, GCP and check point depending on array of GCP and regional feature are analyzed after AT(aerial triangulation) with UltraCamX in three selected study area with specific feature. As analysis result, we could get to know that area with a mountainous district rapidly decreased accuracy of external orientation according as number of GCP decreases, and area with high buildings became low in vertical accuracy of checkpoint. This study has performed the analysis of regional factors in aerial triangulation accuracy.

Although there are many ways to measure the diameter of a cylindrical object, in this study, the diameter of a cylindrical objects were measured by the geometric optical method and interference-diffraction method which are two kinds of tipical non-contact methods. In geometric optical method, the curved laser beam is formed on the cylindrical surface by spreading the inclined laser beam using the cylindrical lens. The curve is captured by CCD camera and the diameter is calculated by geometry. And the interference and diffraction patterns of investigated cylindrical objects are analyzed in interference-diffraction method. In this study, the cylindrical objects, whose diameters are $0.05\;mm\;\~\;100.50\;mm$ were measured by the geometric optical method and interference-diffraction method. The results show that in each method, the relative errors of the measurement are within $2\%$ and $1\%$, respectively and these non-contact methods can be applied in the quick measurement of many objects.

TIP technology enables navigation of the internal contents of images by extracting geometry information from two-dimensional drawing or a picture and generating three-dimensional effects from extracted information. The technology can be applied to a variety of practical fields including game, entertainment, education, public relations and so on. This paper proposes extended application of TIP technology and realization method for smart devices using OpenGL ES Library for Android platform. Considering problems associated with a foreground object extraction, the proposed method uses vanishing points chosen by the user to facilitate more realistic scene configuration. Then, method acquires three-dimensional background model using OpenGL ES Library, develops three-dimensional virtual space and enables image navigation via camera viewpoint conversion. The experimental image is made on Android 2.1 and OpenGL ES 1.0 using the image taken on devices built on the Android platform. Thus, the proposed technology can be implemented to various smart devices built on the Android platform at lower cost and in less time.

Since $Gr{\"{o}}nadhl$ et al introduced a digital subtraction radiography into periodontal dignosis in 1983, many reports using this system has aimed to assess the peroiodontal disease activity and the alveolar bone changes after periodontal treatment. The present study was performed to evaluate the usefulness of digital subtraction radiography for asessing an alveolar bone changes in 3 months after periodontal flap surgery. Serial intraral raiographs were taken from 5 normal subjects and 6 periodontally diseased patients using customized bite blocks attached to film holder in fxation device and digitized by image processing system(consisting of IBM 386, digital frame grabber, CCD camera, Image-pro II software). And the reference parameters were measured by pixel unit and compared with respective radiographs. The serial radiographs showed a little and statistically insignificant difference in reference paramenters. The conventional intraoral radiographs, the subtraction images and the clor enhanced subtraction images were reviewed by 4 examiners and the examiner's agreement rates were compared. The subtraction images and its color enhanced images showed higher examiner's agreement rate than the conventional radiographs. And the propotions of sites diagnosed with bone loss or gain after periodontal surgery were highter in the subtraction images and its color enhanced images than in the conventional radiographs. Especially, in color enhanced images, the unber of bone agin sites tended to increase according to post-surgery periods. These results indicate that projection geometry could be standardized with the divice used in this study, and the subtraction radiography may be useful to assess an alveolar bone changes after periodntal flap surgery.

In this study, a novel method referred as non-marker vision-based displacement measuring system(NVDMS) was introduced in order to measure the displacement of structure. There are two distinct differences between proposed NVDMS and existing vision-based displacement measuring system(VDMS). First, the NVDMS extracts the pixel coordinates of the structure using a feature point not a marker. Second, in the NVDMS, the scaling factor in order to convert the coordinates of a feature points from pixel value to physical value can be calculated by using the external conditions between the camera and the structure, which are distance, angle, and focal length, while the scaling factor for VDMS can be calculated by using the geometry of marker. The free vibration test using the three-stories scale model was conducted in order to analyze the reliability of the displacement data obtained from the NVDMS by comparing the reference data obtained from laser displacement sensor(LDS), and the measurement of dynamic characteristics was proceed using the displacement data. The NVDMS can accurately measure the dynamic displacement of the structure without the marker, and the high reliability of the dynamic characteristics obtained from the NVDMS are secured.

Nucleate boiling experiments with constant wall temperature of heating surface were performed using R113 for almost saturated pool boiling conditions. A microscale heater array and Wheatstone bridge circuits were used to maintain a constant wall temperature condition and to measure the heat flow rate with high temporal and spatial resolutions. Bubble images during the bubble growth were taken as 5000 frames a sec using a high-speed CCD camera synchronized with the heat flow rate measurements. The geometry of the bubble during growth time could be obtained from the captured bubble images. The bubble growth behavior was analyzed using the new dimensionless parameters for each growth regions to permit comparisons with previous results at the same scale. We found that the new dimensionless parameters can describe the whole growth region as initial and later respectively. The comparisons showed good agreement in the initial and thermal growth regions. The required heat flow rate for the volume change of the observed bubble was estimated to be larger than the instantaneous heat flow rate measured at the wall. Heat, which is different from the instantaneous heat supplied through the heating wall, can be estimated as being transferred through the interface between bubble and liquid even with saturated pool conditions. This phenomenon under a saturated pool condition needs to be analyzed and the data from this study can supply the good experimental data with the precise boundary condition (constant wall temperature).
