Atherosclerosis is a chronic vascular inflammatory disease in which plaque builds up in the arteries and impairs blood flow. This can lead to heart disease and stroke. Since most people do not have any symptoms until the artery is severely narrowed, early detection of atherosclerosis is critical. In this paper, in order to effectively detect atherosclerotic lesions in tube-shaped blood vessels, polar conversion is applied to MRI images based on the vessel center. We then propose a SE-LSTMNet model using continuous signal information for each angle of a polar coordinate image. The trained model showed classification performance of 0.9194 accuracy, 0.9370 sensitivity, 0.8796 specificity, 0.8700 F1 score, and 0.9719 AUC on the validation data.

In previous researches for iris feature extraction, they transform a original iris image into rectangular one by stretching and interpolation, which causes the distortion of iris patterns. Consequently, it reduce iris recognition accuracy. So we are propose the method that extracts iris feature by using polar coordinates without distortion of iris patterns. Our proposed method has three strengths compared with previous researches. First, we extract iris feature directly from polar coordinate circular iris image. Though it requires a little more processing time, there is no degradation of accuracy for iris recognition and we compares the recognition performance of polar coordinate to rectangular type using by Hamming Distance, Cosine Distance and Euclidean Distance. Second, in general, the center position of pupil is different from that of iris due to camera angle, head position and gaze direction of user. So, we propose the method of iris feature detection based on polar coordinate circular iris region, which uses pupil and iris position and radius at the same time. Third, we overcome override point from iris patterns by using polar coordinates circular method. each overlapped point would be extracted from the same position of iris region. To overcome such problem, we modify Gabor filter's size and frequency on first track in order to consider low frequency iris patterns caused by overlapped points. Experimental results showed that EER is 0.29%, d' is 5,9 and EER is 0.16%, d' is 6,4 in case of using conventional rectangular image and proposed method, respectively.

본 논문은 회전 및 천이불변 이미지 텍스처 검색의 새로운 방식을 소개한다. 주파수 영역의 극좌표계에서 동일한 공간 주파수에서 각도 방향으로 투영을 하는 각도 투영법을 제안하며, 제안된 각도 투영법을 이용하여 주파수 영역에서 푸리에 계수이 합과 표준편차를 특징벡터로 이용한다. 각도 투영법을 쉽게 구현하기 위해 극좌표계에서 라돈변환이 수행된다. 실험 시 MPEG-7 데이터를 이용하였으며 그 결과는 여러 텍스처 이미지를 검색하는데 있어서 특징을 잘 구별해 내는 결과를 보여준다. 또한 제안된 회전 및 천이불변 특징 추출 알고리듬은 등방성 텍스처나 국부적인 방향성을 보이는 텍스처 영상 검색에도 효율적인 검색률을 보인다.

해안선은 길게 뻗어 있지만 직선적이지 않고 원호와 같은 곡선을 보인다. 그러나 대부분의 평형 해안선식은 직선적 해안이라고 가정하고 수립되어 그 효용성이 큼에도 불구하고 실 해안에 적용되는 경우 잘 재현하지 못하는 경우가 범용적으로 이용되는 데 큰 걸림돌이 되었다. 특히 해안선의 포괄 원호의 반경이 작을수록 문제가 크다는 점에 착안하여 해안선을 포괄하는 극좌표계에 포물선형 평형 해안선 식을 매핑하는 방법을 적용하였다. 그 결과 control point의 개연성을 극복하였고 대부분의 동해, 서해든 국내 해안에 적용한 결과 만족할 만한 결과를 제공하였다. Matlab GUI로 개발되어 실무자들이 항만이나 어항 등 연안해역 개발에 따른 침식 문제의 근본 해결 방안을 사전에 수립하는 데 큰 도움이 되리라 기대한다.

This paper presents a method for designing circular template used in similarity measurement for image registration. Circular template has translation and rotation invariant property, which results in correct matching of control points for image registration under the condition of translation and rotation between reference and sensed images. Circular template consisting of the pixels located on the multiple circumferences of the circles whose radii vary from zero to a certain distance, is converted to two-dimensional Discrete Polar Coordinate Matrix (DPCM), whose elements are the pixels of the circular template. For sensed image, the same type of circular template and DPCM are created by rotating the circular template repeatedly by a certain degree in the range between 0 and 360 degrees and then similarity is calculated using mutual information of the two DPCMs. The best match is determined when the mutual information for each rotation angle at each pixel in search area is maximum. The proposed algorithm was tested using KOMPSAT-2 images acquired at two different times and the results indicate high accurate matching performance under image rotation.

This paper presents a new watermarking scheme that is robust against geometrical attacks such as translation and rotation. The proposed method is based on the conventional PSADT(Polar Coordinates Shape Adaptive Discrete Transform) method which is an robust watermarking scheme for an arbitrarily-shaped image such as character images. The PSADT method shows perfect robustness against geometrical attack if there is no change in the shape of the image object. However, it cannot be utilized to watermark general rectangular images because of the missing alignment between the watermarked signals in the embedding and extracting side. To overcome this problem we propose a new watermarking scheme that aligns the watermark signal using the image inherent feature, especially corner. Namely the proposed method decides a consistent target region whose shape and position isn't changed by any malicious attack and then embeds the watermark in it using the PSADT method. Experimental results show the robustness of the proposed method against geometrical attacks as well as image compression.

In this paper, a method for effectively detecting rotated face and rotation angle regardless of the rotation angle is proposed. Rotated face detection is a challenging task, due to the large variation in facial appearance. In the proposed polar coordinate transformation, the spatial information of the facial components is maintained regardless of the rotation angle, so there is no variation in facial appearance due to rotation. Accordingly, features such as HOG, which are used for frontal face detection without rotation but have rotation-sensitive characteristics, can be effectively used in detecting rotated face. Only the training data in the frontal face is needed. The HOG feature obtained from the polar coordinate transformed images is learned using SVM and rotated faces are detected. Experiments on 3600 rotated face images show a rotation angle detection rate of 97.94%. Furthermore, the positions and rotation angles of the rotated faces are accurately detected from images with a background including multiple rotated faces.

The trajectory of the transmission ellipsometric pseudoconstant ${\rho}=tan{\psi}_{\mu}e^{i{\Delta}_{\mu}}$ of a uniaxially anisotropic substrate like PET forms a circle in polar coordinates, as the phase-retardation angle is varied at a fixed azimuthal angle. The radius as well as the center's position of this circle are functions of the azimuthal angle only. This circle passes through the point (1,0), and the center of this circle is located on the real axis. These characteristics of the circle are examined analytically, and are utilized to derive simple expressions for the azimuthal angle and the phase-retardation angle of the uniaxially anisotropic substrate using the measured transmission ellipsometric constant. Finally, we confirm that the derived expressions are well applied to the analysis of the optical anisotropy of a PET film.
