This paper reports a combined depth- and model-based face detection and tracking approach. The proposed algorithm consists of four functional modules; i) color-based candidate region extraction, ii) generation of the depth histogram for handling occlusion, iii) rotation-invariant face region detection using ellipse fitting, and iv) face tracking based on motion prediction. This technique solved the occlusion problem under complicated environment by detecting the face candidate region based on the depth-based histogram and skin colors. The angle of rotation was estimated by the ellipse fitting method in the detected candidate regions. The face region was finally determined by inversely rotating the candidate regions by the estimated angle using Haar-like features that were robustly trained robustly by the frontal face.

The term, 'crossed occlusion' implies clinical situation in which the residual teeth in one arch have no contact with those in the antagonistic arch, resulting in the collapse of occlusal vertical dimension. The treatment goal of this pathologic condition is restoration of the collapsed vertical dimension and stabilization of abnormal mandibular position. Previously, konus removable prostheses or tooth supported overdentures were suggested to solve crossed occlusion. Nowadays, dental implants have been used for definitive support to solve this problem. In this case report, a 65 years old female patient had a crossed occlusion, in which the maxillary posterior residual teeth and mandibular anterior residual teeth cross. Interim removable and fixed dental prostheses were used to confirm the proper vertical and horizontal jaw relation. After that, the mandibular posterior edentulous region was restored with implant-supported fixed dental prostheses. Computer tomography guided implant surgery was performed according to the concept of the restoration-driven implant placement. The maxillary anterior edentulous region was restored with Kennedy class IV removable prosthesis, considering the patient's economic status. The patient's jaw position and prostheses have been well maintained at the follow-up after 6 months of definitive restoration. The antero-posterior crossed occlusion problems appeared to be effectively solved with the combination of removable in one arch and implant-supported fixed prostheses in the other.

PURPOSE. This study aims to investigate the effects of four different lateral occlusion schemes and different excursions on peri-implant strains of a maxillary canine implant. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Four metal crowns with different occlusion schemes were attached to an implant in the maxillary canine region of a resin model. The included schemes were canine-guided (CG) occlusion, group function (GF) occlusion, long centric (LC) occlusion, and implant-protected (IP) occlusion. Each crown was loaded in three sites that correspond to maximal intercuspation (MI), 1 mm excursion, and 2 mm excursion. A load of 140 N was applied on each site and was repeated 10 times. The peri-implant strain was recorded by a rosette strain gauge that was attached on the resin model buccal to the implant. For each loading condition, the maximum shear strain value was calculated. RESULTS. The different schemes and excursive positions had impact on the peri-implant strains. At MI and 1 mm positions, the GF had the least strains, followed by IP, CG, and LC. At 2 mm, the least strains were associated with GF, followed by CG, LC, and IP. However, regardless of the occlusion scheme, as the excursion increases, a linear increase of peri-implant strains was detected. CONCLUSION. The peri-implant strain is susceptible to occlusal factors. The eccentric location appears to be more influential on peri-implant strains than the occlusion scheme. Therefore, adopting an occlusion scheme that can reduce the occurrence of occlusal contacts laterally may be beneficial in reducing peri-implant strains.

Many attempts for the compfrt, esthetics and improvement of Masticatory function of the patients with removable prosthesis have been made for several decades. The search for the ideal denture occlusion has been going on in an effort to find the tooth form which provides maximum denture stability and masticatory efficiency without damaging the health of the underlying bone. For the purpose, the basic concept of lingualized occlusion were suggested by payne(1941) and pound(1973) discussed a similar occlusal concept and used term " lingualized occlusion." The purpose of this literature study is to clarify and amplify a method to achieve bilateral balanced occlusion with the occlusal arrangement termed " lingualized occlusion." Lingualized occlusion can be achieved by use of anatomic teeth for the mandibular denture. Lingualized occlusion can be used in most denture combination. It is particulary helpful when the patient places high priority on esthetics but a nonanatomic occlusal scheme is indicated by oral conditions such a severe alveolar resorption, a class II jaw relationship or displaceable supporting tissue. Advantages of lingualized occlusion are summarized as follows : 1) Most of the advantages attributed to both the anatomic and nonanatomic forms are retained. 2) Cusp form is more natural in appearance compare to nonanatomic tooth form. 3) Good pnetration of the food bolus is possible. 4) Bilateral mechanical balanced occlusion is readily obtained for a region around arotric relation. 5) Bertical forces are centralized on the mandibular teeth. Lingualized occlusion provides a useful combination of several occlusal concept. Many. advantages of anatomic and nonanatomic occlusions are accomplished but the lingualized occlusal concept is not is not a panacea, and all other procedures still must be carefully excuted.

For virtual reality, virtual manufacturing system, or simulation based design, we need to visualize very large and complex 3D models which are comprising of very large number of polygons. To overcome the limited hardware performance and to attain smooth realtime visualization, there have been many researches about algorithms which reduce the number of polygons to be processed by graphics hardware. One of these algorithms, occlusion culling is a method of rejecting the objects which are not visible because they are occluded by other objects, and then passing only the visible objects to graphics hardware. Existing occlusion culling algorithms have some shortcomings such as the required long preprocessing time, the limitation of occluder shape, or the need for special hardware implementation. In this study, an efficient occlusion culling algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm reads and analyzes Z-buffer of graphics hardware using Microsoft DirectX, and then determines each object's visibility. This proposed algorithm can speed up visualization by reading Z-buffer using DirectX which can access hardware directly compared to OpenGL, by reading only the region to which each object is projected instead of reading the whole Z-Buffer, and the proposed algorithm can perform more exact visibility test by using simplified model instead of using bounding box. For evaluation, the proposed algorithm was applied to very large polygonal models. And smooth realtime visualization was attained.

Multi-target tracking is the main purpose of many video surveillance applications. Recently, multi-target tracking based on the particle filter method has achieved robust results by using the data association process. However, this method requires many calculations and it is inadequate for real time applications, because the number of associations exponentially increases with the number of measurements and targets. In this paper, to reduce the computational cost of the data association process, we propose a novel multi-target tracking method that excludes particle samples in the overlapped predictive region between the target to track and marginal targets. Moreover, to resolve the occlusion problem, we define an occlusion mode with the normal dynamic mode. When the targets are occluded, the mode is switched to the occlusion mode and the samples are propagated by Gaussian noise without the sampling process of the particle filter. Experimental results demonstrate the robustness of the proposed multi-target tracking method even in occlusion.

Purpose. To assess peri-implant stress distribution using finite element analysis in implant supported fixed partial denture with occlusal schemes of cuspally loaded occlusion and implant protected occlusion. Materials and methods. A 3-D finite element model of mandible with D2 bone with partially edentulism with unilateral distal extension was made. Two Ti alloy identical implants with 4.2 mm diameter and 10 mm length were placed in the mandibular second premolar and the mandibular second molar region and prosthesis was given with the mandibular first molar pontic. Vertical load of 100 N and and oblique load of 70 N was applied on occlusal surface of prosthesis. Group 1 was cuspally loaded occlusion with total 8 contact points and Group 2 was implant protected occlusion with 3 contact points. Results. In Group 1 for vertical load, maximum stress was generated over implant having 14.3552 Mpa. While for oblique load, overall stress generated was 28.0732 Mpa. In Group 2 for vertical load, maximum stress was generated over crown and overall stress was 16.7682 Mpa. But for oblique load, crown stress and overall stress was maximum 22.7561 Mpa. When Group 1 is compared to Group 2, harmful oblique load caused maximum overall stress 28.0732 Mpa in Group 1. Conclusion. In Group 1, vertical load generated high implant stress, and oblique load generated high overall stresses, cortical stresses and crown stresses compared to vertical load. In Group 2, oblique load generated more overall stresses, cortical stresses, and crown stresses compared to vertical load. Implant protected occlusion generated lesser harmful oblique implant, crown, bone and overall stresses compared to cuspally loaded occlusion.

In generally, the resolution of reconstructed three-dimensional images can be seriously degraded by undesired occlusions in the integral imaging system, because the undesired information of the occlusion overlap the three-dimensional images to be reconstructed. To solve the problem of the undesired occlusion, we present an exemplar-based image restoration method in integral imaging system. In the proposed method, a minimum spanning tree-based stereo matching method is used to remove the region of undesired occlusions in each elemental image. After that, the removed occlusion region of each elemental images are re-established by using the exemplar-based image restoration method. For further improve the performance of the image restoration, the structure tensor is used to solve the filling error cause by discontinuous structures. Finally, the resolution enhanced three-dimensional images are reconstructed by using the restored elemental images. The preliminary experiments are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.

총의치가 잔존치조제에 가하는 응력은 지지골의 흡수를 야기할 수 있으며, 이는 하악골에서 더 흔히 발생한다. 이러한 응력은 측방력과 관련이 있고, 이는 총의치의 교합력에 따라 차이를 보이게 된다. 그러므로 본 연구의 목적은 총의치의 교합양식(양측성 균형교합-33도 해부학적 치아, C군 ; 무교두교합-0도 비해부학적 치아, M군 ; 설측교두교합,-상악은 33도 해부학적 치아와 하악은 0도 비해부학적 치아, L군)에 따른 하악잔존치조제에 미치는 응력의 크기를 중심위, 측방위, 전방위 상태에서 비교하는 것이다. 기성 아크릴릭 무치악 모델을 이용하여 양측성 균형교합, 무교두교합, 설측교두교합 양식을 갖는 총의치를 제작하여 이를 T-ScanII(Tekscan, Boston, U.S.A)를 이용해 기록했다. 하악 무치악 아크릴 모형을 1.5 mm 일정하게 삭제한 뒤 실리콘으로 점막을 재현하여 제1소구치와 제1대구치 부위에 각각 $4{\times}6$의 linear strain gauge를 부착했다. 교합기에 모형을 부착한 상태에서 Universal Testing Machine(instron$^{(R)}$ 5567, Bluehill 2.0 software ,U.S.A.)으로 50 N과 150 N의 힘을 중심위, 측방위, 전방위 상태에서 일정하게 가하여 교합양식에 따른 응력값을 측정했다. 중심위와 전방위 상태에서는 전방과 후방의 응력값을 교합양식에 따라 비교하고, 측방위에서는 작업측과 비작업측에서의 응력값을 비교하였다. 이상과 같은 실험으로 양측성 균형교합에서의 응력값이 비작업측을 제외하고는 모든 위치에 서 설측교두교합과 무교두교합보다 더 컸으며, 비작업측과의 차이값과 비작업측에서의 응력 변화율도 가장 컸다. 그러나, 측방운동시 비작업측의 응력은 양측성 균형교합에서 가장 작은 것으로 나타났다.
