본 논문에서는 Active Contour 기반의 영역 분할에서 이미지의 초점값을 이용하여 분할된 영역 사이의 경계를 생성하여 기존의 Active Contour에서 발생할 수 있는 중첩 객체의 동일 객체 인식을 방지하는 기법을 제안한다. Active Contour는 영상에서 객체의 윤곽을 검출하여 윤곽을 기준으로 영상을 분할하지만 중첩되거나 근접한 객체에서의 분할이 정확하게 이루어지지 않아 동일 객체로 인식하는 단점이 있다. 이러한 객체에서의 분할을 위해 영상의 초점값을 이용하여 영상 내에 존재하는 객체의 유사 경계 영역을 생성하고 Active Contour의 결과에 적용하여 경계를 생성한 뒤 초점값 적용으로 인해 생성될 수 있는 홀 영역을 hole filling 과정을 수행하여 보완함으로써 보다 정확한 객체를 추출하였다.

We investigate the role of contact location information on the perception of local features during contour following in a virtual environment. An absolute identification experiment is conducted under force-alone and force-plus-contact-location conditions to investigate the effect of the contact location information. The results show that the participants identify the local features significantly better in terms of higher information transfer for the force-plus-contact-location condition, while no significant difference was found for measures of the efficacy of contour following between the two conditions. Further data analyses indicate that the improved identification of local features with contact location information is due to the improved identification of small surface features.

We described a method resonant mode identification in dielectric-disc loaded cylindrical cavity resonators. The characteristic equation is solved by using the ContourPlot graph of Mathematica. Contour graph method uses graphical method. It is comparable with numerical method. The numerical method is very difficult a mode identification. The analysis based on the approximated electromagnetic representation. This kinds of studies only concentrated on the calculation of resonant frequencies, and a mode identification of resonant frequencies have not been covered. But, the contour graph method to analyze the characteristic equations is simple and all parts of resonant frequency graph can be easily drawn, it is possible to calculate precise resonant frequencies and to identify the mode of resonant frequencies.

A Snake is an active contour for representing object contours. Traditional snake algorithms are often used to represent the contour of a single object. However, if there is more than one object in the image, the snake model must be adaptive to determine the corresponding contour of each object. Also, the previous initialized snake contours risk getting the wrong results when tracking multiple objects in successive frames due to the weak topology changes. To overcome this problem, in this paper, we present a new snake method for efficiently tracking contours of multiple objects. Our proposed algorithm can provide a straightforward approach for snake contour rapid splitting and connection, which usually cannot be gracefully handled by traditional snakes. Experimental results of various test sequence images with multiple objects have shown good performance, which proves that the proposed method is both effective and accurate.

This study was an attempt to determine acoustic characteristics in myna bird's notes. Two myna birds' sounds imitating a normal male voice in his late 20's were sampled and analyzed. The analyses included the mean values of F1, F2, F3 and pitch contours. The results were as follows; First, there was a significan difference in the mean values of F1, F2, and F3 in isolatd vowel /a/ and /i/ between the myna birds' sounds and the human voice. However, there was no apparent difference in pitch contour of their formants. Second, there was a difference in pitch contour of their formants in their sentence ('hn-nyung-ha-se-yo?' meaning 'How are you?') production. Namely, the myna birds' pitch contour was located higher than that of the human's.

This paper presents an image analysis method for mearurement correction using the object contour based analysis, which measure the shape features of the imitation missile object. The image analysis is divided into object's tilting angle analysis and corner points detection. The tilting angle is calculated by edge extracting the region-of-interest image and by Radon transform it. The corner points are obtained by contour tracking of binary image and its curvature data processing and analysis. The ability of this presented method is simulated and evaluated by the results of accuracy testing.

A total of 202 full coverage crowns from 31 patients was investigated to find out the relationships between crown contour and gingival response. Every experimental crown has its contralateral natural tooth for its control group. Gingival Index and buccolingual width of the crowns were measured on both experimental and control group. Following conclusions were obtained from the study. 1. Most of the crown restorations were overcontoured and the increments were servere at cervical and height of contour area. 2. Height of contour and contact point of the restored crown were located near cervical area. Besides, most crowns had narrow embrasure with wide contact area. 3. Gingival Index around crown restorations was significantly larger than that of control group. 4. the interrelationship between Gingival Index and restored material or restored period was not verified at 5% significant level. 5. When grouping the artificial crowns into overcontoured, normal contoured, and undercontoured group by their width increment, the gingival inflammation was the severest in the overcontoured group and the mildest in the undercontoured group.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive tracking control method of a mobile manipulator for contour following with a kinematic model to have several unknown dimension parameters. Moreover, we will use the decentralized control method to design two independent controllers for two subsystems. The proposed controllers in this paper are based on the Lyapunov function in order to guarantee the stability of whole system for contour following task. The updated laws are also designed to estimated the unknown dimension parameters. Finally, the simulation results are presented to show the validity of the proposed controllers in this paper.

The purpose of this study is to examine the variation of pitch contour observed in the reading of Korean sentences produced by Chinese Korean-learners. In the reading context, Korean sentence intonation can be described by considering accentual phrases' pitch pattern and intonational phrases' boundary tone. But when APs and IPs connect to each other to form sentences, another aspect of speech production must be considered, that is declination of pitch contour. So, in order to examine how Chinese speakers produce Korean sentence intonation, we have analysed the sentences' pitch contours produced by fourteen Chinese speakers differing in proficiency, and compared them to pitch contours produced by six Korean native speakers. The results show that Chinese speakers tend to decline the pitch contour in shorter sentences, but for longer sentences, the declination was not observed. Moreover, even though Chinese speakers produced sentences with declination, internal tonal modulation differs from native speakers.

$\textbullet$ Image segmentation is an essential technique of image analysis. In spite of the traditional issues in contour initialization and boundary concavities, active contour models(snakes) are popular and known as successful methods for segmentation. $\textbullet$ We could find in experiment that snake using Gaussian External Force is fast in time but low in accuracy and snake using Gradient Vector Flow by Chenyang Xu and Jerry L. Prince is high in accuracy but slow in time. $\textbullet$ In this paper, we presented a new active contour model, GGF snake, for segmentation of endoscopic image. Proposed GGF snake made up for the defects of the traditional snakes in contour initialization and boundary...
