Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between eating disorders, body image, and self-esteem of female university students. Methods: A total 123 university female students were recruited in April 2009. Data was collected by using questionnaires. The collected data was analysed by SPSS/WIN using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, ANOVA, & Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: As defined by body mass index (BMI), the obese subjects were rare (8.9%) and the rest (91.1%) was under weight or normal. More than 51.2% of the subjects perceived their weight as overweight, while 8.9% of the women were obese as defined by BMI. Eighty-eight percent of the subjects were not satisfied with their body shape. The total mean score of anorexia nervosa was higher than bulimia nervosa. The scores of eating disorders did not differ significantly by the BMI score. The score of body image was highest in the group of the overweight. There was high positive correlation between self-esteem and body image. Conclusion: To ensure resonable body image and weight control behaviors in female university students, education should be reinforsed. Therefore, nursing intervention programs for cognitive changes correcting the understanding about body image need to be developed.

Images are an important element in patents and many experts use images to analyze a patent or to check differences between patents. However, there is little research on image analysis for patents partly because image processing is an advanced technology and typically patent images consist of visual parts as well as of text and numbers. This study suggests two methods for using image processing; the Scale Invariant Feature Transform(SIFT) algorithm and Optical Character Recognition(OCR). The first method which works with SIFT uses image feature points. Through feature matching, it can be applied to calculate the similarity between documents containing these images. And in the second method, OCR is used to extract text from the images. By using numbers which are extracted from an image, it is possible to extract the corresponding related text within the text passages. Subsequently, document similarity can be calculated based on the extracted text. Through comparing the suggested methods and an existing method based only on text for calculating the similarity, the feasibility is achieved. Additionally, the correlation between both the similarity measures is low which shows that they capture different aspects of the patent content.

This paper proposes a new quantitative and objective image quality metric which is essential to verify the performance of block-based DCT image coding. The proposed metric considers not only global distortion of coded image such as spatial frequency sensitivity and channel masking using HVS based multi-channel model, but also structural distortions caused block-based coding. The experimental results show a strong correlation between proposed metric and subjective metric.

영상정합은 동일한 장면에 대해서 서로 다른 시간 혹은 서로 다른 특성의 센서로부터 서로 다른 위치에서 얻은 영상들의 위치적 대응관계를 찾는 기법이다. 이 논문에서는 특성이 다른 적외선 센서와 광학 센서로부터 얻은 영상의 정합을 위한 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 지금까지 제안된 서로 다른 특성의 영상을 위한 정합기법은 크게 특징점 기반 영상정합기법과 밝기값 기반 영상정합기법으로 구분될 수 있다. 특징점 기반의 영상정합기법은 정확하게 대응하는 특징점을 선택하는 것이 성능에 결정적인 영향을 준다 그러나 적외선 영상과 가시광선 영상에서는 특징점이 서로 같지 않은 경우가 많기 때문에 강인하지 못하다 그리고 밝기 값 기반의 정합기법에서는 정규상호정보를 유사성 척도로 사용한 영상정합기법이 가장 좋은 성능을 제공하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 정규상호정보 기반의 영상정합기법은 두 영상의 통계적 상관성이 전역적이어야 한다는 가정을 전제하는데, 적외선 영상과 가시광선 영상에서는 이를 보장하지 못하는 경우가 많아 정규상호정보를 유사성 척도로 사용하는 영상정합기법에서도 좋은 성능을 기대하기 힐들다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 적외선 영상과 가시광선 영상의 통계적 상관성의 해석에 기반한 두 단계 영상정합기법을 제안한다. 정확하고 강인한 정합을 위해서 첫 단계에서는 두 영상에서 통계적 상관성이 높은 부분을 추출하는 ESCR기법과 두 영상을 통계적 상관성이 높도록 필터링하는 ESCF기법을 수행한다. 그리고 두 번째 단계에서는 첫 단계에서의 결과 영상에 대해서 정규상호정보를 유사성 척도로 한 영상정합을 수행한다. 다양한 적외선 영상과 가시광선 영상을 이용한 실험으로부터 제안하는 두 단계 영상정합기법이 기존의 정규상호정보 기반의 영상정합기법에 비해 정확도와 강인함, 그리고 실행 속도의 측면에서 더욱 향상된 성능을 제공함을 확인하였다.

Inherent opportunities on research for restoring high resolution image from low resolution images are increasing in these days. Super resolution image reconstruction is the process of combining multiple low resolution images to form a higher resolution one. To achieve super resolution reconstruction, proper observation model which is based on subpixel shift information is required. In this context, the importance of the subpixel registration cannot be estimated because subpixel shift information cannot be obtained from original image. This paper presents a regularized adaptive super resolution reconstruction method based on phase correlated subpixel registration, where the Constrained Least Squares(CLS) Restoration is adopted as a post process.

A stereo matching has been an important tool for reconstructing three dimensional terrain. By using stereo matching technique, DEM(Digital Elevaton Map) can be generated by the disparity from a reference image to a target image. Generally disparity map can be evaluated by matching the reference image to the target image and if the role of the reference and the target are interchanged, a different DEM can be obtained. In this paper, we propose a new fusion technique to estimate the optimal DEM by eliminating the false DEM due to occlusion. To detect the false DEM, we utilize two measure of accuracy: self-consistency and cross-correlation score. We test the effectiveness of the proposed methods with a quantitative analysis using simulated images. Experimental result indicate that the proposed methods show 24.4% and 33.1% improvement over either DEM.

In this paper, we first propose new texture features, BVLC (block variation of local correlation coefficients) moments, for content-based image retrieval (CBIR) and then present an image retrieval method based on the fusion of BDIP and BVLC moments. BDIP uses the local probabilities in image blocks to extract valley and edges well. BVLC uses the variations of local correlation coefficients in images blocks to measure texture smoothness well. In order not to be affected with the movement, rotation, and size of an object, the first and second moments of BDIP and BVLC are used for CBIR. Corel DB and Vistex DB are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed retrieval method. Experimental results show that the presented retrieval method yields average 12% better performance than the method using only BDIP or BVLC moments and average 13% better performance than the method using wavelet moments.

The objective of this study is to develop a highly accurate micro tool alignment system applicable to the micro machining technology. In a specific application such as micro hole punching, radial clearance between micro tools is order of a few micron. Under this micron scale tool clearance, accuracy of tool alignment is very important for ensuring hole quality. In the present study, a two-way image acquisition system was developed, which can produce overlapped image of both micro tools that face each other, and applied to the tool alignment in the micro punching. Also, to meet alignment accuracy of tools within $1\mu\textrm{m}$, the cross correlation image processing algorithm was employed. With this system, $25\mu\textrm{m}$ punching tools with $1\mu\textrm{m}$ radial clearance could be accurately aligned.

A digital image processing technique which is able to get the velocity vector distribution of a surface of the spilled oil in the ocean without contacting the flow itself. This technique is based upon the PIV(Particle Imaging Velocimetry) technique and its system mainly consists of a high sensitive camera, a CCD camera, an image grabber, and a host computer in which an image processing algorithm is adopted for velocity vector acquisition. For the acquisition of the advective velocity vector of floating matters on the ocean, a new multi-frame tracking algorithm is proposed, and for the acquisition of the diffusion velocity vector distribution of the spilt oil onto the water surface, a high sensitive gray-level cross-correlation algorithm is proposed.
