Purpose: The aim of the present study was to understand the relationship between gait symmetry and functional balance, walking performance in stroke patients and to makes recommendation regarding the most suitable measure for standardization of expression of spatiotemporal gait symmetry. Methods: 45 subjects with stroke (31 men, 14 women, $57.3{\pm}10.3$ years old) participated in this study. Gait symmetry was calculated by equations of symmetry ratio (SR) and symmetry criterion (SC) for stance time, swing time, single leg support time (SLST), step length, and stride length. Spatiotemporal parameters were measured respectively by walkway system ($GAITRite^{TM}$ system). Limit of stability (LOS) by using forceplate (Balance Performance Monitor) during voluntary weight displacement and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were measured as functional balance and Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) were assessed as functional walking. Results: SR in stance time and swing time was correlation with BBS, TUG and FAC (p<0.05). SR in SLST only with BBS (p<0.01), SR in step length only with FAC (p<0.05). SC in stance time was correlation with BBS and TUG (p<0.05). SC in swing time and SLST with BBS, TUG and FAC (p<0.01), SC in step length with TUG and FAC (p<0.01), SC in stride length with BBS and FAC (p<0.01). Conclusion: Gait symmetry in spatiotemporal gait parameters provides meaningful information about functional balance and walking performance in stroke subjects. Our analysis may support the recommendations of the symmetry criterion as equation for standardization of gait symmetry.

An efficient context-free multiple-object segmentation using attention operator based on modified generalized symmetry transform is proposed and implemented by modifying a radial basis function network. By using the difference of intensity gradient, instead of te intensity gradient itself, in generalized symmetry tranform so as to make the attention operator to preserve the edges of the objects shape, an efficient context-free multiple-object segementation is proposed in which no a priori shape informtion on the objects is requried. The attention operator is implemented by using a modified radial basis function network which can reflect symmetry, and by using te edge pyramid of the input image, both of the local and the global symmetry of the objects are reflected simultaneously to make the multiple-object with different sizes be segmented with a singel fixed-size $n\timesm$ can be done with O(n) complexity. The simulaton results show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently be used in context-free multiple-object segmentation even for the low contrast IR images as well as for the images from the camera.

In this paper, we describe the principle, the procedure and calculation of the measurement. Finally the experimental results are shown and discussions are given. Interpreting of a skewed symmetry in the image as a real symmetry in the 3-D space provides strong constraints on 3-D sharp analysis. In order to apply the idea to the real scene, a method is presented which can find the skewed symmetry in the image of the skewed symmetrical object, even if it is occluded partly. there parameters of the skewed symmetry are estimated by examining peaks in two 2-D hough spaces, onto which the parameters of all candidates of boundary line segments for skewed symmetries are voted. The method is characterized with a small amount of computation, finding of multiple symmetry axes and inference of the occluded parts of the symmetrical object.

For square contingency tables with nominal categories, this paper proposes a measure to represent the degree of departure from the quasi-symmetry (QS) model and the Bradley-Terry (BT) model. The measure proposed is expressed by using the Cressie and Read (1984)'s power-divergence or Patil and Taillie (1982)'s diversity index. The measure lies between 0 and 1, and it is useful for comparing the degree of departure from QS or BT in several tables.

In this paper, we consider two components system which the lifetimes have a bivariate weibull distribution with random censored data. Here the censoring time is independent of the lifetimes of the components. We construct large sample tests for independence and symmetry between two-components based on maximum likelihood estimators and the natural estimators. Also we present a numerical study.

For square contingency tables with ordered categories, Tomizawa (1995) considered two kinds of measures to represent the degree of departure from global symmetry, which means that the probability that an observation will fall in one of cells in the upper-right triangle of square table is equal to the probability that the observation falls in one of cells in the lower-left triangle of it. This paper proposes a generalization of those measures. The proposed measure is expressed by using Cressie and Read's (1984) power divergence or Patil and Taillie's (1982) diversity index. Special cases of the proposed measure include TomiBawa's measures. The proposed measure would be useful for comparing the degree of departure from global symmetry in several tables.

암호/복호 알고리즘이 서로 다른 RC6을 간단한 논리 연산과 회전 연산을 사용한 대칭단의 삽입으로 암호/복호를 같게 하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 즉 RC6의 전체 라운드의 반은 RC6의 암호 알고리즘을, 나머지 반은 RC6의 복호 알고리즘을 사용하고 암호와 복호 알고리즘 중간에 대칭 단을 넣어 암호/복호가 같은 개선된 RC6을 구현했다. 제안한 RC6 알고리즘은 기존의 RC6 알고리즘과 수행 속도에서는 거의 차이가 없고, 안전성은 대칭단의 삽입으로 차분 및 선형 분석에 필요한 높은 확률의 패스를 단절시켜 효과적인 분석을 어렵게 하고 있다. 제안한 대칭단 알고리즘은 암호/복호가 다른 블록 암호 알고리즘에 간단히 적용하여 암호/복호가 같게 만들 수 있으며, 새로운 블록 암호 알고리즘의 설계에도 좋은 아이디어로 사용할 수 있다.

일반화 대칭 변환 (generalized symmetry transform, GST)은 주어진 영상에서 사전 분할이 없이 국부성과 반사 대칭성을 결합하여 대칭을 측정하고 관심 영역을 추출한다. GST의 거리 가중치 함수에서 국부적인 대칭성이 반영되며 이 함수의 표준 편차 u에 의해 GST의 수행 범위가 조절된다. 넓은 관심영역을 추출하기 위해 반지름 r이 큰 검색영역 내에서의 대칭성이 추출될 필요가 있다. 이에 따라서 GST의 수행시간은 r에 따라 2차적으로 증가하게 된 본 논문에서는 이를 개선하기 위해 선택적 방향 주의를 가지는 수정된 스캔라인 GST를 제안한다. 제안된 GST는 기존의 GST와 유사한 대칭 특성을 추출하지만 선택적 방향의 기울기만을 고려한 스캔라인 위의 에지 화소쌍에서 GST를 수행함으로써 r에 따라서 이의 수행시간이 선형적으로 증가된다 특히 r이 큰 경우에 선택적 방향에 대해서만 적용하면 기존의 GST의 계산량이 비대해지는 단점을 보완해 줄 수 있다. 제안된 GST가 기존의 GST보다 시간적으로 효과적이며 유용하다는 것이 여러 종류의 영상에 대한 실험으로 확인되었다.

대칭 영역 탐색은 대칭 정보를 이용하여 사전 정보없이 얼굴영역을 추출 할 수 있다. 그러나 눈, 코, 입등과 같은 얼굴의 특징 부위보다 탐색할 마스크의 크기가 커져야 함으로 이 방법은 계산 시간이 많이 걸린다. 본 논문에서는 얼굴 영상에 대하여 사전 정보 없이, 적은 계산량으로 얼굴 영역 추출이 간으하도록 대칭 영역 탐색을 이용한 축소 영상에서의 얼굴 영역의 추출과 그 특징에서의 대칭값에 따른 영상을 이용하여 원영상에서는 영역 분할을 통한 얼굴 영역 추출 방법을 제안하고 실험을 통하여 이를 확인하였다.

The ultrasonic images are corrupted by the granular pattern noise - a speckle noise. The speckle exist in the type of coherent imaging systems, and the speckle is the signal independent and multiplicative noise. In this paepr, we derive two filters using the gradient and symmetry. One is a noise suppression filter which removes noise while preserves the edges. It is named the ASRF-GS (Adaptive Speckle Removal Filer - Gradient and Symmetry). And the other is a edge detection filter which obtains the thin edge map, called the EDUGS(Edge Detection Using Gradient and Symmetry). The performance of the proposed noise suppression filter is evaluated by the IMPV(SNR improvement) and the Speckle Index(SI), and the perforamnce of the edge detection is evaluated by the edge detection error rate. According to the evaluated method, The SI reduced about 0.035, The IMPV improved about 1.265(dB), and the edge detection error rate is about 17.5%.
