This paper describe an interactive video object segmentation tool which can be used to generate MPEG-4 video object planes for multimedia broadcasting and enables content based functionalities. In order to apply these functionalities, each frame of video sequence should be represented in terms of video objects. Semiautomatic segmentation can be thought of as a user-assisted segmentation technique. A user can initially mark objects of interest around the real object boundaries. Then the user-guided and selected objects are continuously separated from the unselected areas though time evolution in the image sequences. We proposed method shows very promising result and this encourages the development of object based video editing system.

We report an uncommon case of a 45-year-old woman who presented with spontaneous rhinorrhea. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the head revealed an abnormally large sphenoid sinus associated with a parasellar bony defect (Sternberg's canal) through which magnetic resonance imaging could detect an encephalocele of the right temporal lobe. An endoscope-assisted trans-sphenoidal approach was performed and, with the aid of image guided surgery, reduction of the encephalocele was obtained and followed by surgical repair of the dural and bony defects. The postoperative course was uneventful and the cerebrospinal fluid fistula was closed as confirmed by the postoperative CT scan and by the absence of rhinorrhea. After three years of monitoring the patient remained asymptomatic.

We present a case of chondroblastoma in the thoracic vertebra. A 40-year-old patient with upper back pain and lower extremity weakness was admitted to our clinic. On neurological examination, the patient exhibited lower extremity spastic paraparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass infiltrating the 7th thoracic vertebra and its adjacent structures with concomitant compression of the epidural space. After right upper lung tuberculoma was resected through the transthoracic approach, T7 total corpectomy was done with anterior stabilization using a MESH cage and T7 rib bone graft. Two weeks after the first operation, remained part of vertebra was removed and posterior stabilization was performed using a pedicle screw fixation and cross linkage bar with the assistance of the navigation system. The final pathologic diagnosis of the vertebral lesion was benign chondroblastoma.

This paper describes a vision-based line recognition and control of driving direction for an AGV(autonomous guided vehicle). As navigation guide, black stripe attached on the corridor is used. Binary image of guide stripe captured by a CCD camera is used. For detect the guideline quickly and extractly, we use for variable thresholding algorithm. this low-cost line-tracking system is efficiently using pc-based real time vision processing. steering control is studied through controller with guide-line angle error. This method is tested via a typical agv with a single camera in laboratory environment.

This article reviewed new trends and controversial issues, including the intensification of chemotherapy and recent brachytherapy (BT) advances, and also reviewed recent consensuses from different societies on the management of locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Intensive chemotherapy during and after radiation therapy (RT) was not recommended as a standard treatment due to severe toxicities reported by several studies. The use of positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for pelvic RT planning has increased the clinical utilization of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for the evaluation of pelvic lymph node metastasis and pelvic bone marrow. Recent RT techniques for LACC patients mainly aim to minimize toxicities by sparing the normal bladder and rectum tissues and shortening the overall treatment time by administering a simultaneous integrated boost for metastatic pelvic lymph node in pelvic IMRT followed by MRI-based image guided adaptive BT.

시술 중 제공되는 2D영상은 실시간으로 환자와 시술도구의 상태정보를 제공해주지만 환부의 입체적ㆍ해부학적 파악이 어렵다. 따라서 긴 촬영시간으로 시술 전 획득되는 3D영상과 시술 중 얻어지는 2D영상간 정합영상은 영상 유도술에 있어서 유용한 정보를 제공한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 볼륨영상으로부터 혈관모델을 추출하고 이를 평면으로 투영하였다. 두 2D영상에서 정차대상이 되는 혈관골격을 추출한 후 혈관의 분기특성을 고려 한 초기정합을 수행하였다. 크기와 초기 위치를 맞춘 혈관골격을 골격간 거리가 최소가 되도록 반복적으로 혈관을 기하변환시키고 최종 변환된 혈관골격을 시술 중 제공되는 2D영상에 겹쳐 가시화 하였다. 이로써 시술시간 경감과 시술성공률 향상을 유도할 수 있는 시술경로맵을 제시하고자 하였다.

본 논문에서는 영상 보간의 결과 측면에서 깊이를 보정하는 방법 중 하나인 유도 영상 필터링 기법을 비교한다. 실험을 위해 초기 깊이 영상을 두 종류의 유도 영상 필터링 기법으로 개선을 하였다. 초기 깊이 영상과, 각각의 필터링 기법에 의해 개선된 변이 영상을 이용하여 영상 보간을 하였고, 그 결과를 비교하였다. 결과로서 한 시점 영상의 텍스처 정보만을 이용하여 변이를 개선하는 유도 영상 필터링 기법으로 변이 영상을 개선하게 되는 경우에 육안으로는 구분이 갈 정도로 변이가 개선이 되지만, 영상 보간의 측면에서 보았을 때는 크게 차이가 없거나 오히려 품질이 저하되는 경우를 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we studied on an efficient detection and removal of the periodic scanner interference noise in LANDSAT images. Firstly, noise models and their characteristics are discussed. And we proposed a new scheme of noise detection in Fourier domain. Then, an dfficient noise filter can be designed based on the detected noise components. To verifythe effectiveness of our scheme, some experiments guided by our proposed scheme are performed using a real LANDSAT image.

This paper presents a computer-aided simulation and robotic-assisted execution technology of external fixation method to achieve fracture reduction and deformity correction in long bones. Combining the kinematic analysis with a graphic model of the tibia and the fixator allowed 3D simulation and visualization of the adjustments required to reduce fracture or correct bone deformity as a pre-operative planning tool. The developed robot model provided accurate deformity correction with small residual deformity based on the results of the planning. By incorporating the robot model with image-guided system and computer-aided planning, the integrated system could be useful for computer-aided pre-operative planning and robotic-assisted execution in fracture treatment and bone deformity surgery.

Purpose: The management of frontal sinus fractures and frontal sinus outflow tract (=FSOT) injuries is controversial. Traditional treatments include frontal sinus obliteration with a variety of material grafts, which all employ complicated algorithms for treatment planning. A simplified algorithm aiming for frontal sinus ventilation, however, can be achieved through the advanced technology of image guided endoscopic surgery and instruments. The authors explain this simplified treatment algorithm of frontal sinus fractures. Methods: The authors reviewed articles on the management of frontal sinus fractures. Results: Complicated treatment planning algorithms of frontal sinus fractures aiming for obliteration were replaced with a simplified algorithm aiming for ventilation of the frontal sinus. Conclusion: The authors suggest that a simplified algorithm can replace the complicated algorithms in selective cases.
