블라인드 등화에서 등화 초기에는 눈모형을 빠르게 여는 것이 필요하고, 이후에는 등화기 출력 신호의 오차 레벨을 낮추는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 특별하게 정해지는 신호점을 사용한 거친 오차 추정과 원 신호점을 사용한 미세 오차 추정을 동시에 산출하고, 두 오차 추정을 활용하는 방식을 제안한다. 두 오차 추정은 각각 눈모형이 닫힌 상태에서 눈모형을 빠르게 열거나, 눈모형이 열리기 시작한 이후 정상상태에서 오차 레벨을 낮추는데 효과적이다. 등화기의 수렴 상태에 따라 두 오차 추정 중 하나를 선택하거나, 두 오차 추정의 상대적 신뢰도에 따라 두 오차를 가중 결합하여 새로운 오차를 산출하는 두 블라인드 등화 알고리즘을 제안하고 그 성능을 비교한다.

An important factor in eye-tracking PC interface for general paralyzed patients is the implementation of the mouse interface, for manipulating the GUI. With a successfully implemented mouse interface, users can generate mouse events exactly at the point of their choosing. However, it is difficult to define this interaction in the eye-tracking interface. This problem has been defined as the Midas touch problem and has been a major focus of eye-tracking research. There have been many attempts to solve this problem using blink, voice input, etc. However, it was not suitable for general paralyzed patients because some of them cannot wink or speak. In this paper, we propose a mouth-pop-up, eye-tracking mouse interface that solves the Midas touch problem as well as becoming a suitable interface for general paralyzed patients using a common RGB camera. The interface presented in this paper implements a mouse interface that detects the opening and closing of the mouth to activate a pop-up menu that the user can select the mouse event. After implementation, a performance experiment was conducted. As a result, we found that the number of malfunctions and the time to perform tasks were reduced compared to the existing method.

Eye gaze as a form of input was primarily developed for users who are unable to use usual interaction devices such as keyboard and the mouse; however, with the increasing accuracy in eye gaze detection with decreasing cost of development, it tends to be a practical interaction method for able-bodied users in soon future as well. This paper explores a low-cost, robust, rotation and illumination independent eye gaze system for gaze enhanced user interfaces. We introduce two brand-new algorithms for fast and sub-pixel precise pupil center detection and 2D Eye Gaze estimation by means of deformable template matching methodology. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm based on the deformable angular integral search algorithm based on minimum intensity value to localize eyeball (iris outer boundary) in gray scale eye region images. Basically, it finds the center of the pupil in order to use it in our second proposed algorithm which is about 2D eye gaze tracking. First, we detect the eye regions by means of Intel OpenCV AdaBoost Haar cascade classifiers and assign the approximate size of eyeball depending on the eye region size. Secondly, using DAISMI (Deformable Angular Integral Search by Minimum Intensity) algorithm, pupil center is detected. Then, by using the percentage of black pixels over eyeball circle area, we convert the image into binary (Black and white color) for being used in the next part: DTBGE (Deformable Template based 2D Gaze Estimation) algorithm. Finally, using DTBGE algorithm, initial pupil center coordinates are assigned and DTBGE creates new pupil center coordinates and estimates the final gaze directions and eyeball size. We have performed extensive experiments and achieved very encouraging results. Finally, we discuss the effectiveness of the proposed method through several experimental results.

We tested whether ginsenosides $Rg_3$-standardized ginseng extract (RGE) has anti-stress effects in restraint-stressed animals. RGE increased time spent in the open arms and open arm entries in the elevated plus-maze test. In addition, RGE blocked the reduction of center zone distance and stereotypes behaviors in the open-field test. RGE also increased head dips in stressed mice, indicating anxiolytic-like effects. Stress decreased movement distance and duration, burrowing, and rearing frequency but increased face washing and grooming. RGE significantly reversed burrowing and rearing activity in stressed mice. In addition, we measured sleep architecture in restraint stressed rats using EEG recorder. Stress increased rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, but total sleep and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep were not changed. RGE did not affect sleep architecture in stressed rats. These behavioral experiments suggest that RGE has anti-stress effects in restraint-stressed animal models.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate balance changes in young patients with neck pain by comparing postural sway velocity and velocity moment between young patients with neck pain and healthy subjects. METHODS: The cross-sectional study enrolled fifteen young patients with over 3-month duration of the neck pain and twelve healthy subjects between the ages of 20 and 30 years old. All subjects were measured their postural sway velocity and velocity moment during quiet standing with eyes open and eyes closed conditions. We compared the differences of postural sway velocity and velocity moment between neck pain patients and healthy subjects, and between eye open and eye close. RESULTS: Significant differences were evident in the anteroposterior and mediolateral sway velocity, and velocity moment of center-of-pressure (COP) between patients with neck pain and healthy subjects (p<.05), and in patients with neck pain in the eyes open and eyes closed conditions (p<.05). CONCLUSION: These results indicate that the balance of young patients with neck pain was worse than healthy subjects during quiet standing, and was especially lessened in the absence of vision. The finding may inform management program to decrease the balance deficits in young patients with neck pain.

Purpose : To evaluate the effects hip abductor strengthening exercise using elastic band on static balance. Methods : The subjects consisted of twenty healthy people. The subjects were divided into two group. The control group(n=10) received no exercise and/or stimulation. The elastic band strengthening exercise(E/E) group(n=10) performed hip abductor for strengthening exercise using elastic band. E/E group were accomplished during 6weeks(3day/week, 30-40min/day). All tests were completed before and after experiment. The static balance ability was measured by normal standing when eye open and close on GOOD BALANCE System, respectively. For each case, the experimental data were obtained in 3 items: mean X speed, mean Y speed and velocity moment. Results : The results of this study were as follows; 1. In E/E group, the statistically significants were shown on Y speed and velocity moment in the case of normal standing when eye open and X speed and velocity moment in the case of normal standing when eye close(p<0.05). 2. In control group, the statistically significants were not shown on all posture(p>0.05). 3. There was a statistically significant difference on the X speed and velocity moment in the case of normal standing when eye close between control group and E/E group(p<0.05). Conclusion : The above results revealed that hip abductor strengthening exercise using elastic band were partly effective for improving the static balance ability.
