본 논문에서는 윤곽선 세그먼트의 양 끝점을 잇는 직선과 곡선의 길이의 비율로 윤곽선 변동율을 정의하고, 이로부터 윤곽선의 형태를 기술하는 방법을 제안하였다. 윤곽선 변동율은 윤곽선 세그먼트로부터 계산되기 때문에 회전이나 크기 변형에 불변하는 윤곽선 세그먼트를 추출해야 한다. 이를 위하여 전체 윤곽선의 길이에 비례하는 상대적인 길이로 윤곽선을 분할하고 윤곽선 상의 모든 점을 분할점으로 하는 중첩된 윤곽선 세그먼트를 이용하였다. 윤곽선 변동율은 윤곽선 세그먼트의 단위 길이에 따라 국소적 또는 전역적인 특징을 나타내므로, 윤곽선 변동율의 분포를 나타내는 특징 벡터로 물체의 형태를 기술하고, 단위 길이별로 특징 벡터를 비교하여 윤곽선 형태의 유사도를 계산한다. 제안된 방법을 구현하여 15종의 물고기 영상에 대하여 회전 및 크기 변형을 가한 총 165개의 영상에 대하여 실험한 결과, 회전 및 크기 변형에 대한 불변성은 물론 정규화된 체인코드 히스토그램(NCCH)과 링 프로젝션(TRP)을 이용한 방법에 비하여 군집화 능력이 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

A fast cell contour extraction method using CUDA parallel processing technique is presented. The cell contour extraction is one of important processes to analyze cell information in pathology. However, conventional sequential contour extraction methods are slow for a huge high-resolution medical image, so they are not adequate to use in the field. We developed a parallel morphology operation algorithm to extract cell contour more quickly. The algorithm can create an inner contour and fail to extract the contour from the concave part of the cell. We solved these problems by subdividing the contour extraction process into four steps: morphology operation, labeling, positioning and contour extraction. Experimental results show that the proposed method is four times faster than the conventional one.

All contours of the restoration not directly related to occlusion are related to the gingival tissues only.And proper contour of restoration is essential for the health of the periodontal tissues.But there are so many controversies about the contour of the restoration, and there is no uniform agreement in the literature as to which contour of restoration is best for periodontium. In general, the contour of restoration means the supragingival contour only but in the case of the intracrevicular restorative procedure the subgingival contour of restoration must be considered. Because a portion of the restoration is placed in a gingival sulcus which is extremely vulnerable to periodontal disease. In this article the concepts or theories of the supragingival contour, the subgingival contour, and the emergence profile were discussed.The contour of the restoration and the biotype of the periodontium must be considered in intracrevicular restorative procedure.And sufficient tooth preparation is important factor to develop the proper contour of restoration which is kind to periodontium.

An algorithm is presented for 3-dimensional contour lines with a hidden line removal ~technique developed by T.L. Janssen(l). Contour line algorithm on any 3-dimensional plane cutting solid body is also shown. NUFIG(2) algorithm is adopted for searching contour lines. Test problems show well-established contour lines on the surface and also on the cutting plane of the structure.

Region based coding consistsof image segmentation contour and texture coding. Contour coding techniques can be classified into contour or shape-oriented approaches. In this paper, geodesic skeleton based on shape-oriented approach is used for contour coding. Efficient application of geodesic skeleton for contour coding based on the characteristics of regions in segmented image will be discussed.

The comprehensive system analysis for contour milling operation and its error has performed in this study. The obtained experimental results were from the practical points of view. In down-milling operation the contour error curve illustrates bigger thean actual workpiece radius. The contour error increased when the cutter loads increased. Through the procedural evaluation, it could ascertain the characteristics of generation mechanics in circular contour machining error, and the weight of each factors.

In this paper, we present a novel, rapid approach for the detection of brain tumors and deformity boundaries in medical images using a genetic algorithm with wavelet based preprocessing. The contour detection problem is formulated as an optimization process that seeks the contour of the object in a manner of minimizing an energy function based on an active contour model. The brain tumor segmentation contour, however, cannot be detected in case that a higher gradient intensity exists other than the interested brain tumor and deformities. Our method for discerning brain tumors and deformities from unwanted adjacent tissues is proposed. The proposed method can be used in medical image analysis because the exact contour of the brain tumor and deformities is followed by precise diagnosis of the deformities.

The growing need for higher precision and productivity in manufacturing industry has lead to an increased interest in computer numerical control (CNC) systems. It is well known fact that the cross-coupling controller (CCC) is an effective method for contouring applications. In this paper, a multi-axis contour error controller (CEC) based on a contour error vector using parametric curve interpolator is introduced. The contour error vector is a vector from the actual tool position to the nearest point on the desired path. The contour error vector is the closest error model to the contour error. The simulation results show that the CEC is more accurate than the conventional CCC for a biaxial motion system. In addition, the experimental results on 3-axis motion system show that the CEC is simply applied to 3-axis motions and contouring accuracy is significantly improved.

In this paper, a parallel cell contour line extraction algorithm using CUDA, which has no inner contour lines, is proposed. The contour of a cell is very important in a cell image analysis. It could be obtained by a conventional serial contour tracing algorithm or parallel morphology operation. However, the cell image has various damages in acquisition or dyeing process. They could be turn into several inner contours, which make a cell image analysis difficult. The proposed algorithm introduces a min-max coordinates table into each CUDA thread block, and removes the inner contour in parallel. It is 4.1 to 7.6 times faster than a conventional serial contour tracing algorithm.
