In this paper, we proposed the straight line determination method and the algorithm for 8 directions determination of straight line using the coordinate information and the property of trigonometric function. We conduct an experiment that is 8 hand gestures are carried out 100 times each, a total of 800 times. And the accuracy for the 8 derection determination algorithm is showed the diagonal direction to the left upper side shows the highest accuracy as 92%, and the direction to the left side, the diagonal direction to the right upper side and the diagonal direction to the right bottom side show the lowest accuracy as 82%. This method with coordinate information through image processing than the existing recognizer and the recognition through learning process is possible using a hand gesture recognition gesture.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of nursing intervention of aromatherapy hand massage. Method: In order to conduct a meta-analysis, a total of 124 studies were retrieved. From these studies, fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria with a total of 733 participants. And these studies published from January 2004 to July 2013 were included in the journal articles published in Korea. Results: In fifteen studies, Random effect model for the aromatherapy hand massage that 95% confidence level, significant level of p-valve on less than 0.001. Standardized Mean Difference reported systolic blood pressure(d=-9.5320), diastolic pressure(d=-8.8730), pulse(d=-9.1241), anxiety(d=-0.1469), and depression(d=-0.4489) All measurement variables were significantly decreased in the negative direction. Conclusion: This study suggests that aromatherapy hand massage can reduce the level of blood pressure(systolic, diastolic), pulse, anxiety and depression.

This study examined the effectiveness of a short thumb splint and a glove type splint which combined features of a fitness glove in order to improve hand function and performance of functional task after traumatic brain injury. One subject with traumatic brain injury participated in this study and wore a short thumb splint and customized glove type splint. His hand function was significantly improved when comparing to that of not using those splints. In addition, using the glove type splint was more significant to perform functional tasks than using the short thumb splint. The findings of this study identified that hand function of people with traumatic brain injury was improved by using those splints as an occupational therapy service and it is necessary to adapt the customized splints according to the personal characteristics.

Purpose: This study investigated the accuracy of free-hand implant surgery performed by an experienced operator compared to static guided implant surgery performed by an inexperienced operator on an anterior maxillary dental model arch. Methods: A maxillary dental model with missing teeth (No. 11, 22, and 23) was used for this in vitro study. An intraoral scan was performed on the model, with the resulting digital impression exported as a stereolithography file. Next, a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan was performed, with the resulting image exported as a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine file. Both files were imported into the RealGUIDE 5.0 dental implant planning software. Active Bio implants were selected to place into the model. A single stereolithographic 3-dimensional surgical guide was printed for all cases. Ten clinicians, divided into 2 groups, placed a total of 60 implants in 20 acrylic resin maxillary models. Due to the small sample size, the Mann-Whitney test was used to analyze mean values in the 2 groups. Statistical analyses were performed using SAS version 9.4. Results: The accuracy of implant placement using a surgical guide was significantly higher than that of free-hand implantation. The mean difference between the planned and actual implant positions at the apex was 0.68 mm for the experienced group using the free-hand technique and 0.14 mm for the non-experienced group using the surgical guide technique (P=0.019). At the top of the implant, the mean difference was 1.04 mm for the experienced group using the free-hand technique and 0.52 mm for the non-experienced group using the surgical guide technique (P=0.044). Conclusions: The data from this study will provide valuable insights for future studies, since in vitro studies should be conducted extensively in advance of retrospective or prospective studies to avoid burdening patients unnecessarily.

The market of digital avatar with internet and digital technology is increasing rapidly. The users want to express any free-formed motion of their avatars in the cyber space. The user s motion capturing method as the avatar's motion can express any free-formed motion of the avatar in real-time but the methods are expensive and inconvenient. In this paper, we proposed a new method of expressing any free-formed motion of the avatar in real-time. The proposed method is an algorithm for real-time control of a 3D avatar in symmetry-formed free motion. Specially, the algorithm aims at the motion control of a 3D avatar for online dancing games. The proposed algorithm uses the skeleton character model and controls any one of two hands of the character model by a joystick with two sticks. In the symmetry-formed motion, the position and orientation of one hand can determine the position and orientation of the other hand. And the position and orientation of a hand as an end-effector can determine the pose of the arm by Inverse Kinematics. So the algorithm can control the symmetry-formed free motions of two arms by one joystick with two sticks. In the dance game, the algorithm controls the arm motion by the joystick and the other motion by the motion captured DB.

In tangible augmented reality (AR) environments, the user interacts with virtual objects by manipulating their physical counterparts, but he or she often encounters awkward situations in which his or her hands are occluded by the augmented virtual objects, which causes great difficulty in figuring out hand positions, and reduces both immersion and ease of interaction. To solve the problem of such hand occlusion, skin color information has been usefully exploited. In this paper, we propose an approach to simple and effective construction of a skin color map which is suitable for hand segmentation and tangible AR interaction. The basic idea used herein is to obtain hand images used in a target AR environment by simple image subtraction and to represent their color information by a convex polygonal map in the YCbCr color space. We experimentally found that the convex polygonal map is more accurate in representing skin color than a conventional rectangular map. After implementing a solution for resolving hand occlusion using the proposed skin color map construction, we showed its usefulness by applying it to virtual design evaluation of digital handheld products in a tangible AR environment.

3D 센서테이블은 디스플레이가 내장된 테이블 위에서 사용자의 맨손이 움직일 때 그것을 감지하고 반응하는 센싱정보를 처리하도록 만든 것으로 양안시차 방식의 3 차원 입체영상에서 보여지는 가상의 오브젝트와 사람과의 인터렉션이 가능하도록 설계되었다. 본 연구에서는 3 차원 공간에서의 맨손을 이용한 사람과 컴퓨터 간의 인터렉션 방법에 중점을 두고 있는데 맨손의 위치정보와 제스처를 알기 위해서 Electric Field Sensing 기법을 이용하였다. 현재 구현된 3D 센서테이블은 테이블로부터 30cm 이내의 거리에서 움직이는 맨손의 위치와 간단한 제스처를 인식할 수 있다. 이를 통해서 기존의 마우스나 키보드가 가졌던 3 차원 공간에서 사용할 때 불편했던 점들을 해소하고, 직관적이면서도 누구나 사용하기에 쉬운 인터페이스 방법을 제시함으로써 사람과 컴퓨터와의 인터렉션 방법을 확장시킬 수 있다. 또한 기존의 많은 연구에서 맨손을 이용한 기법들이 주로 2D 기반이었던 것에 비하여 본 시스템은 2D뿐 아니라 3 차원 공간에서도 활용할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다.

The many cities are changing in the city form where the person and nature are mixed. Namely, the government invests many expense in tree field of distance space for the change in the green city. In this paper, we design and implement a tree growth management system using PDA built in 13.56MHz RFID reader and CBD(Component Based Development) for ubiquitous computing environments. Our system provides history management to increase business efficiency for location coordinate of tree and history information of tree which using RFID, the RFlD tag is attaching the new tree and that is inputting GPS location information in PDA and provides tree information of tree by location coordinate to history management. Finally, we show from a performance analysis that our system achieves about 85% average tree read rate of RFID under test scenario environments.

본 논문에서는 인간과 컴퓨터 사이의 상호작용을 하는 방법중의 하나인 제스처를 인식할 때 필요한 정확한 손 검출 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 기존의 다수의 손 영상들 가장 잘 표현하면서도 효과적으로 압축할 수 있는 PCA를 이용해서 특징 벡터를 추출한다. 이어서 특징 벡터간의 Mahalanobis distance를 이용한 분류기에 가중치를 적용하여 사용한다. 또한 시간에 따른 연속적인 영상에서 검출된 이전 영상의 중심점의 위치와 중심점의 motion vector를 이용해서 손이 검출되지 않은 영상의 검출 성능을 보상한다.
