  • Writable Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Display and the algorithm used to detect its image were developed. We could use any hard tip, ex: the tip of a forefinger, to directly write an image on the surface of Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Display (CHLCD). By measuring the capacitance of one pixel of test cell (12mm x 15mm/1x1), F-state or P-state could be detected. By measuring the capacitance of one pixel of 4.1" CHLCD (241um x 241um/ 320x320), F-state or Pstate could not be detected, due to the effect of parasitic capacitance. Therefore, high frequency measurement and the algorithm were developed to detect the image on CHLCD.

  • In this paper, we propose an image-based synthesis method that can effectively represent the spark effect in fire simulation. We use the real flame image or animated image as inputs and perform the following steps : 1) extract feature vectors from the image, 2) calculate artificial buoyancy, and 3) generate and advect spark textures. We detect the edge from images and then calculate the feature vectors to calculate the buoyancy. In the next step, we compute the high-quality buoyancy vector field by integrating the two-dimensional feature vector and the fluid equation. Finally, the spark texture is advect by buoyancy field. As a result, our method is performed much faster than the previous approach and high-quality results can be obtained easily and stably.

  • A new and modified neural network model Is proposed for CT image reconstruction from four projection directions only. The model uses the Resilient Back-Propagation (Rprop) algorithm, which is derived from the original Back-Propagation, for adaptation of its weights. In addition to the error in projection directions of the image being reconstructed, the proposed network makes use of errors in pixels between an image which passed the median filter and the reconstructed one. Improved reconstruction was obtained, and the proposed method was found to be very effective in CT image reconstruction when the given number of projection directions is very limited.

  • 3-D medical image reconstruction technique using computer simulation technology has been used in the knowledge of the anatomical features and the biomechanical characteristics with the advancement of computer hardware and software. Especially, the use of 3-D image reconstruction technique in orthopaedics demonstrates that this technique is useful to improve surgical technique as well as to help inform the knowledge of shoulder joint anatomy. The purpose of this article is to introduce the utilization of 3-D image technology in shoulder surgeries.

  • In electric railway, image monitoring using high speed camera provides reliable, timely information of wear and geometry status, important in taking decisions for overhead contact wire maintenance. The contribution of this research is the development of a simple real-time monitoring system for use in measurement subsystem of contact wire and geometry of overhead contact wire in electric railway. The system has been consists of a high speed CMOS camera with resolution $1024{\times}1280$ pixels, line type laser source and PC-based image acquisition system with PCI Express slot. Vision acquisition software have been used in application programming interface for image acquisition, display, and storage with a frequency of sampling of 500 acquisitions per second.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine and understand body image, appearance behaviors, and eating disturbances among females in the Diet Center. Subjects for this research were 40 females enrolled at the Diet Center in Seoul. They were interviewed for this study using an interview schedule at September in 2004. As a result, most of the subjects (87%) were dissatisfied with their bodies, especially their lower body such as hip, thighs, legs, stomach. Subjects tended to use dieting and fasting (46.3%) as the most common appearance management behaviors in relation to the body parts. Make-up (32.9%) was also used as routine appearance behaviors, while 37.5% of subjects have had cosmetic surgery on eyes, nose and liposuction. Sixty percent of subjects had participated in Diet center programs more than twice. This may mean that society pressures women to have a slim body, which then will result in more self-confidence. Subjects tend to engage in unhealthy eating behaviors, such as 'fasting', 'inducing vomit', 'using diet pills or laxatives', and 'after chewing, spit out'. Based on these results, socio-cultural body image regarding ideal beauty would be discussed.

  • The best method of measuring wood diameter is a contact-type device: however, obtaining an accurate result can be problematic under certain circumstances. In this study, we used a laser beam and a CCD camera that did not require contact with wood. The wood is illuminated by the laser beam, and the CCD camera captures this illumination. The measurement results were determined by processing of the captured image sequences. This paper explains the use of image processing and laser systems for measurement of wood under circumstances in which physical contact is impossible.

  • In this paper, we present an adaptive image filter using genetic algorithm. The filter is robust to the characteristic variance of image and noise, by evolving the parameter and combination of image preprocessors properly. And we have adopted adaptive mutation strategy, which use different mutation rate for specific region of chromosome. The filter is implemented on FPGA board and controlled by host PC.

  • In this paper, we propose an extracting method of moving object contour using active contour model from image sequences acquired by fixed camera. We use an adaptive background model for robust processing in surrounding conditions. Object segmentation model detects pixels thresholded from local difference image between background and current image and extracts connected regions. Noises in boundary area of moving object we eliminated by morphological filter. The contour of segmented object is corrected by using active contour model for extracting accurate boundary of moving object. We apply the proposed method to highway image sequences and show the results of simulation.
