  • We propose a novel programmable miniature vision module based on a custom designed analog VLSI (aVLSI) chip. The vision module consists of the optical flow vision sensor embedded with commercial off-the-shelves digital hardware; in our case is the Intel XScale PXA270 processor enforced with a programmable gate array device. The aVLSI sensor provides gray-scale imager data as well as smooth optical flow estimates, thus each pixel gives a triplet of information that can be continuously read out as three independent images. The particular computational architecture of the custom designed sensor, which is fully parallel and also analog, allows for efficient real-time estimations of the smooth optical flow. The Intel XScale PXA270 controls the sensor read-out and furthermore allows, together with the programmable gate array, for additional higher level processing of the intensity image and optical flow data. It also provides the necessary standard interface such that the module can be easily programmed and integrated into different vision systems, or even form a complete stand-alone vision system itself. The low power consumption, small size and flexible interface of the proposed vision module suggests that it could be particularly well suited as a vision system in an autonomous robotics platform and especially well suited for educational projects in the robotic sciences.

  • Classification is widely used in medical images to categorize patients and non-patients. However, conventional classification requires a complex procedure, including some rigid steps such as pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction, detection, and classification. In this paper, we propose a novel convolutional neural network (CNN), called LeukemiaNet, to specifically classify two different types of leukemia, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and non-cancerous patients. To extend the limited dataset, a PCA color augmentation process is utilized before images are input into the LeukemiaNet. This augmentation method enhances the accuracy of our proposed CNN architecture from 96.9% to 97.2% for distinguishing ALL, AML, and normal cell images.

  • Tongue diagnosis is an important diagnostic method in traditional Oriental medicine. It has been especially accepted that quantitative analysis of tongue images allows the accurate diagnosis of the exterior-interior and cold-heat patterns of a patient. However, to ensure stable and reliable results, the color reproduction of such images must first be error-tree. Moreover, tongue diagnosis is much influenced by the surrounding illumination and subjective color recognition, so it has to be performed objectively and quantitatively using a digital diagnostic machine. In this study, 457 tongue images of outpatients were collected using the Digital Tongue Inspection System. Through statistical analysis, the result shows that the heat and cold patterns can be distinguished clearly based on the hue value of the tongue images. The average hue value (1.00) of the tongue's image in the cold pattern is higher than that in the heat pattern (0.99).

  • 본 논문은 tms 32010이라는 디지탈 신호 처리용소자를 사용하여 초음하 펄스 도플러 장치를 구현한 것이다. 도플러 장피란 초음파 신호의 송수신 과정에서 발생하는 도플러 효과를 이용하여 혈류의 속도를 측정하는 장치이다. 한 점에서의 속도를 측정하는 단일채널 도플러 장치에서는 실시간 고속 푸리에 변환기를 구현하여 도플러 주하수의 스펙트럼을 측정함으로서 혈류속도를 측정하며 초음파 빔의 일직선상에서의 여러점을 동시에 측정하는 다중채널 도플러 장치에서는 영점교차검출기를 구현하여 평균주파수를 측정하였다. 자중채널 장치는 직렬처리법을 사용하여 하드웨어를 간단히 하였으며 8점에서의 속도를 측정할 수 있도록 하였다.

  • We have developed an ultra wide-field of view Optical Coherence Tomography(OCT) which has capability to 2D and 3D views of cross-sectional structure of in vivo human retina. Conventional OCT has a limitation in visualizing the entire retina due to a reduced field of view. We designed an optical setup to significantly improve the lateral scanning range to be more than 20 mm. The entire human retinal structure in 2D and 3D was reported in this paper with the developed OCT system. Also, we empirically searched an optimized image size for real time visualization by analyzing variation of the frame rate with different lateral scan points. The size was concluded to be $1024{\times}2000{\times}300$ pixels which took 9 seconds for visualization.

  • The need for content-based retrieval from visual media, such as image and video data, is ever increasing rapidly in many applications, such as electronic art museums, internet shopping malls, internet search engines, and medical information systems. In our previous research, we proposed an architecture, called the HERMES, which is a Web Service-enabled visual media retrieval framework. In this paper, we propose the Web Service workflows that are employed in the HERMES. We describe how we designed the workflows for service registration and query processing in the framework. We especially explain how metadata and ontology can be utilized to realize more intelligent content-based retrieval on visual media data.

  • Recently, it is gradually raised necessity that interface is measured accurately and managed in industrial circles and medical world, An Ultrasonic wave transmitted from a focused beam transducer is being expected as a powerful tool for NDE of micro-defect. The ultrasonic NDE of the defect is based on the form of the wave reflected form the interface In this study, regarding to the thickness of film which is in opaque object and thickness measurement was done by MEM-cepstrum analysis of received ultrasonic wave. In measument results, film thickness which is beyond distance resolution capacity was measured accurately. Also, automatically repeated discrimination analysis method can be decided in the category of all kinds of defects on semiconductor package.

  • 대용량의 데이터 전송을 위해 최근에 많이 사용되고 있는 OFDM 시스템은 다중경로페이딩에는 유리하지만 시간 선택성 페이딩에서는 자유롭지 못하고 이를 위해 채널추정이 필요하게 된다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 기존의 EM 알고리즘의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 LPC 알고리즘을 접목시킨 EM-LPC 알고리즘을 제안했다. 이 알고리즘은 기존의 EM 알고리즘의 M-Step 다음에 LPC 알고리즘을 사용하여 미리 다음 pilot 데이터를 추정할 수 있게된다. 또한 interpolation을 통한 데이터 수정도 가능하게 된다. 살펴본 결과 EM-LPC 알고리즘이 기존의 LS 알고리즘과 EM 알고리즘보다 좋은 성능을 내는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 EM 루프의 반복도 역시 줄어드는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

  • 유방암은 그 조기 발견이 암환자의 사망률을 줄이는 데 있어서 가장 중요한 요소임을 알려져 있다. 스크리닝 검사에 의해 발견되는 유방암의 20%정도를 차지하는 DCIS(ductal carcinoma in situ)의 경우 미세석회화만이 필름 상에서 볼 수 있는 유일한 소견이다. 따라서 미세석회화를 발견하고 그 형태와 분포의 분석을 통한 진단이 암의 조기 발견에 매우 중요하다. 이 검출과정을 자동화하려는 시도가 디지털 영상처리 기술의 관심이 되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 상관계수를 특징(feature)으로 사용하여 성능을 향상시킨 통계적 패턴 분류법을 제안하였다. 결과적인 검출율은 통계적 문턱치 설정에 의한 이진호 방법과 비교하여 48%에서 83%로 향상되었다. 성능은 TP와 FP로 평가되었으며 클래스 구분시의 오차도 함께 나타내었다.

  • According as society looks graying trend gradually, more shaped system that can achieve measuring health-state of old people more harmoniously construction required in field of old people's welfare and medical treatment. Health-state is measured by two methods of contact and non-contact. The first, for example measurement of blood pressure or electrocardiogram, requires that measuring equipments are attached on human body but the second, for example X-Ray or MRI, is not. But both of methods are have some of defect, for example attaching equipments, needing of the special equipments or the necessary time, etc. Therefore desirable method of monitoring system must have minimum interrupt about daily life. This study suggest the system that can monitor the user, especially old people's outward aging and health-state by use the PAN TILTER and CCD camera.
