Edge detection in images is an important step in image segmentation and object recognition as preprocessing for image processing. This paper presents a new edge detection using local histogram analysis based on wavelet transform. In this work, the wavelet transform uses three components (horizontal, vertical and diagonal) to find the magnitude of the gradient vector, instead of the conventional approach in which tw components are used. We compare the magnitude of the gradient vector with the threshold that is obtained from a local histogram analysis to conclude that an edge is present or not. Some experimental results for our edge detector with a Sobel, Canny, Scale Multiplication, and Mallat edge detectors on sample images are given and the performances of these edge detectors are compared in terms of quantitative and qualitative measures. Our detector performs better than the other wavelet-based detectors such as Scale Multiplication and Mallat detectors. Our edge detector also preserves a good performance even if the Sobel and Canny detector are sharply low when the images are highly corrupted.

The study was performed to investigate the bacteriological contamination of portable digital radiography system and their detectors in a university hospital. CNS and VRE were detected in the samples collected from vinyl cover on detectors used for the infection control patients. On the other hand, no bacteria was detected in the samples collected from detectors with vinyl cover removed. In the series of imaging of patients from general wards, no bacteria was detected from the patient 1. However, CNS was detected from the patients 2 and 3, CNS and Enterococcus faecalis detected from the patient 4, CNS and Enterococcus casseliflavus detected from the patient 5, and CNS, Enterococcus casseliflavus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae all detected from the patient 6. CNS and Enterococcus faecium were detected in the controller handle of collimator. Also, CNS was detected from the handle of detector and exposure switch. In the treatment gloves of the radiological technologist after the imaging, CNS, Enterococcus gallinarum, and Klebsiella pneumoniae were detected. Therefore, it is recommended for DR portable to take images after sterilizing the detector after taking each image and to use disposable vinyl covers on detectors to remove after imaging. And treatment gloves must be changed after each imaging. Also, hospital infection via portables must be prevented by complete sterilization of the controller handles of collimator which are in frequent contact during imaging and infection education of employees.

The detector for digital radiography testing, which is currently mainly used, consists of a detector with a flat structure, making it impossible to fully adhere to the digital radiography testing of the test object with curvature. In this study, a curved panel detector capable of adhering to curvature was fabricated to improve the quality of the digital image during the digital radiography testing of piping welds at industrial sites, and digital radiography images using flat and curved panel detectors were obtained for 6in pipes with different nominal thickness. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the flat panel detector does not fully adhere to the pipe, resulting in a gap between the outer part of the pipe and the detector, resulting in a difference in the unsharpness and diffusion of the digital image. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the curved panel detector minimizes the gap between the pipe outer part and the detector, so that digital image diffusion is less than that of the flat panel detector. The higher the confidence of the image, the lower the quality and error in reading, so it is believed that higher quality images can be obtained than conventional flat panel detectors when using detectors that can be closely attached to the inspection object.

기존의 광각 감지방식을 면면적을 감지하는 면각필터로 개선하여 재실자가 활동에 제약을 받지 않도록 하였으며, 투광부와 수광부를 일체형으로 구성하여 한 개의 감지기로 침입자를 감지하는 개체 독립형 침입감지기의 지향성능을 실험하였다.
