  • 사람의 자세는 구면 파노라마에서 다양한 형태로 왜곡되어 나타날 수 있다. 따라서 구면 파노라마에서의 자세 추정은 평면 이미지에서의 경우보다 정확도가 떨어진다. 본 논문에서는 인식률이 높은 얼굴 인식 기법을 도입하여 구면 파노라마 영상에서 안정적으로 사람의 자세를 추정하는 방법을 제시한다. 먼저 구면 파노라마에서 얼굴을 인식한 후에 이에 기반하여 사람의 전신 영역을 추정하고 전신 영역을 포함하는 평면 영상을 획득한다. 획득된 평면 영상에서 자세를 추정하여 스켈레톤을 얻고 이를 캐릭터 모델에 적용한다. 제안 방법을 실영상에 적용하여 실험한 결과 평면 이미지에서와 동일한 수준의 정확도를 보임을 확인하였다.

  • The effects of radial heat and $H_2O$ diffusion on the evolution of silica particles in coflow diffusion flames have been studied experimentally. The evolution of silica aggregate particles in coflow diffusion flames has been measured experimentally using light scattering and thermophoretic sampling techniques. The measurements of scattering cross section from $90^{\circ}$ light scattering have been utilized to calculate the aggregate number density and volume fraction using with combination of measuring the particle size and morphology through the localized sampling and a TEM image analysis. Aggregate or particle number densities and volume fractions were calculated using Rayleigh-Debye-Gans and Mie theory for fractal aggregates and spherical particles, respectively. Flame temperatures and volumetric differential scattering cross sections have been measured for different flame conditions such as inert gas species, $H_2$ flow rates, and burner injection configurations to examine the relation between the formation of particles and radial $H_2O$ diffusion. The comparisons of oxidation and flame hydrolysis have also been made for various $H_2$ flow rates using $N_2$ or $O_2$ as a carrier gas. Results indicate that the role of oxidation becomes dominant as both carrier gas($O_2$) and $H_2$ flow rates increases since the radial heat diffusion precedes $H_2O$ diffusion in coflow flames used in this study. The effect of carrier gas flow rates on the evolution of silica particles have also been studied. When using $N_2$ as a carrier gas, the particle volume fraction has a maximum at a certain carrier gas flow rate and as the flow rate is further increased, the hydrolysis reaction Is delayed and the spherical particles finally evolves into fractal aggregates due to decreased flame temperature and residence time.

  • Cold spray deposition using Titanium powder was carried out to investigate the effects of powder morphology and powder preheating on the coating properties such as porosity and hardness. The in-flight particle velocity of Ti powder in cold spray process was directly measured using the PIV (particle image velocimetry) equipment. Two types of powders (spherical and irregular ones) were used to manufacture cold sprayed coating layer. The results showed that the irregular morphology particle appeared higher in-flight particle velocity than that of the spherical one under the same process condition. The coating layer using irregular morphology powder represented lower porosity level and higher hardness. Two different preheating conditions (no preheating and preheating at $500^{\circ}C$) were used in the process of cold spraying. The porosity decreased and the hardness increased by conducting preheating at $500^{\circ}C$. It was found that the coating properties using different preheating conditions were dependent not on the particle velocity but on the deformation temperature of particle. The deposition mechanism of particles in cold spray process was also discussed based on the experimental results of in flight-particle velocity.

  • Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are a superfamily of thiol-specific antioxidant proteins present in all organism and involved in the hydroperoxide detoxification of the cell. To determine the structural organization of yeast-Prx, electron microscopic analysis was performed. The average images of yeast-Prxs revealed three different structure, i.e. spherical-shaped structure, ring-shaped structure and irregularly-shaped small particles. In order to analyze the conformational change of yeast-Prx by reduction and oxidation, Prxs were subjected to DTT and $H_2O_2$. In presence of DTT, yeast-Prx showed a high tendency to form a decamer. However, they changed into dimeric or spherical structure in the oxidized state. Here we also show ionic interaction between dimeric subunits is primarily responsible for yeast-Prx oligomerization.

  • In the case of an imaging system affected by aberrations which are not precisely known, the effect of aberrations can be minimized and near-diffraction-limited images can be restored by introducing artificial random phase fluctuations in the exit pupil of the imaging system and using bispectral speckle imaging. In order to determine the optimum value of the correlation length for Gaussian random phase model, computer simulation is performed for 50 image frames of a point object in the presence of defocus, spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism of 1 wave, respectively. In terms of the criterion of performance, the FWHM of the point spread function, normalized peak intensity, MTF and visual inspection of the restored object are employed. The optimum value for the rms difference $\sigma$ of aberration on the exit pupil in the interval of Fried parameter ${\Upsilon}_0$ is given by 0.27-0.53 wave for spherical aberration, and 0.24-0.36 wave for defocus and astigmatism, respectively. It is found that the bispectral speckle imaging technique does not give good results in the case of coma.

  • In this paper, multiview calibration system for an effective 3D display is proposed. This system can be obtain 4-view image from multiview camera system. Also it can be rectify lens and camera distortion, error of bright and color, and it can be calibrate distortion of geometry. In this paper, we proposed the signal processing skill to calibrate the camera distortions which are able to take place from the acquisited multiview images. The discordance of the brightness and the colors are calibrated the color transform by extracting the feature point, correspondence point. And the difference of brightness is calibrated by using the differential map of brightness from each camera image. A spherical lens distortion is corrected by extracting the pattern of the multiview camera images. Finally the camera error and size among the multiview cameras is calibrated by removing the distortion. Accordingly, this proposed rectification & calibration system enable to effective 3D display and acquire natural multiview 3D image.

  • White-light-emitting ZnS:Mn, Cu, Cl phosphors with spherical shape and the size of $20\;{\mu}m$ are successfully synthesized. They have the double phases of cubic and hexagonal structures. They are applied to electroluminescent (EL) devices by silk screen method with the following structure: $electrode/BaTiO_3$ insulator layer ($50{\sim}60\;{\mu}m$)/ ZnS:Mn, Cu, Cl phosphor layer ($30{\sim}50\;{\mu}m$)/ITO glass. The EL devices are driven with the voltage of 100 V and the frequency of 400 Hz. The EL devices show the three emission peaks. The blue and green emission bands are originated from $CICu^{2+}$ transition and $ClCu^+$ transition, respectively. The yellow emission band results from $^4T^6A$ transition of $Mn^{2+}$ ion. As an increase of Cu concentrations, the blue and green emission intensities decrease whereas the yellow emission intensity increases; the quality becomes warm white. It is due to the energy transfer from the blue and green bands to the yellow band.

  • A variety of filters are applied to improve the quality of noise and low resolution medical images. This is necessary to reduce the radiation dose of the patient and to improve the utilization of the conventional spherical imaging equipment. In the conventional method, it is common to perform filtering using the CPU of the PC. However, it is difficult to produce results in real time by applying various calculations and filters to high-resolution human images using only the CPU performance of a PC used in a hospital. In this paper, we analyze the structure and performance of Intel integrated GPU in CPU and propose a method to perform image filtering using OpenCL parallel processing function. By applying complex filters with high computational complexity to medical images, high quality images can be generated in real time.

  • General method for correcting the distortion caused by the characteristic of the fish-eye lens may be classified in two ways. The first method is a calibration method using a mathematical model taking into account the characteristics of the lens, the second method is a method using only the distortion correction image, regardless of the lens. When considering the characteristics of the lens, calibration equation can be calculated geometrically from the relationship between the three-dimensional real-world coordinates and two-dimensional image coordinates and the parameters of lens. However, it is not suitable for ellipsoid type lens, because of existing research papers have been corrected on the spherical-type fisheye lens. In this paper, we propose a method for correcting geometrically using fish-eye lens as an ellipsoid model. Through a calibration picture, it can be seen that the proposed method is valid.

  • This paper proposes a novel technique of marker-based 2D-3D registration to combine 3D information obtained from preoperative CT images into 2D image obtained from intraoperative x-ray fluoroscopy image. Our method is divided into preoperative and intraoperative procedures. In preoperative procedure, we generate CT-derived DRRs using graphics hardware and detect markers automatically. In intraoperative procedure, we propose a hierarchical two- step registration to reduce a degree of freedom from 6-DOP to 2-DOF which is composed of in-plane registration using principal axis method and out-plane registration using minimal error searching method in spherical coordinate. For experimentation, we use cardiac phantom datasets with confirmation markers and evaluate our method in the aspects of visual inspection, accuracy and processing time. As experimental results, our method keeps accuracy and aligns very fast by reducing real-time computations.
