The 3D shape as well as the depth of an object presented on a 3D display is perceptually distorted depending on viewing distance. It is quite undesirable that different observers perceive different depth and shape from an object displayed on a 3D monitor. To resolve the problem of perceptual distortion of 3D depth and shape, the degree of the distortion should be measured appropriately. As a basis for resolving these problems, the present research suggests an instrument for measuring the degree of the perceptual distortion of 3D depth and shape.

The energy distributions for clinically used electron beams from measured and calculated mono energetic depth dose values were calculated. The energy distributions having the minimum difference between the measured and reduced values of depth dose are determined by iterations based on least square method. The nominal energies of 6, 9, 12, 15 MeV clinical electron beams were examined. The Monte Carlo depth dose calculations with determined energy distributions were peformed to evaluate those distributions. In a comparison of the calculated and measured depth dose data, the standard errors are estimated within $\pm$ 3% from surface to R$_{80}$ depth and within $\pm$4% from the surface to near the range for all electron beams. This can be practically applied to determine the energy distributions for clinically used electron beams.

A glomerular filtration rate (GFR) study is a test that uses radioactive materials or tracers (radiopharmaceuticals) and a computer to see how well the kidneys are working. Asan Medical Center analyzed and compared data between kidney depth, acquired from kidney donors' CT image and acquired from Gates method's GFR value that are calculated by Tonnesen equation. This study was able to confirm that kidney depth measured from CT image was higher than the Gates Method's GFR value, which was calculated by Tonnessen equation; the direct relationship among pathologic results is confirmed. Particularly, kidney donor whose kidney was at the pelvic area had direct relationship with other clinical results. During the GFR test, it is necessary to confirm the location of kidney has no change with reference of CT image. If kidney depth is manually corrected using CT image when we measures GFR of deformed or horse-shoe kidney, it would be possible to acquire the compatible value which is equivalent to clinical result. There would be a possible issue of appropriateness that whether the applied GFR using CT image's kidney depth has clinical validity. In case of a pediatric patient, the GFR derived from Tonnesen was quiet underestimated while manual method and Gordon stay in normal range. Which results may be correct among them? There have been many reports about kidney depth, to be an accurate index of GFR in children. As one of the study performers, we should contemplate what the best option for pediatric patients would be.

Nano-mechanics 연구는 기판의 나노표면에 대하여 indenter tip을 직접 인가하여 측정함으로써 기존 분광학 연구에서는 불가능했던 박막의 기계적 특성 연구가 가능하다. 그러나 박막분석 특성상 박막의 표면, 기판 또는 하부 박막에 의한 영향으로 인해 박막의 고유한 물성특성 연구에 제약이 있다. 박막 표면에 의한 영향인 표면효과는 nano-indentation을 실행 할 때 tip의 압입으로 발생되는 표면의 스트레스로 인해 표면 변형이 나타나는 현상이다. 반면에 하부 박막과 기판에 의한 오류는 nano-indentation 실행 시 tip의 압입 깊이가 깊어질수록 하부박막 또는 기판과 가까워지기 때문에 박막 고유의 특성이 아닌 하부박막과 기판에 의한 영향이 같이 나타나는 현상이다. 이러한 오류를 최소화 하고자 많은 연구에서는 박막의 강도에 따라 nano-indentation의 실행 깊이를 박막 총 두께의 최소7%에서 최대 50%까지 삽입하는 방법을 도입하였다. 이를 기반으로 본 연구는 Zirconium nitride (ZrN) 박막의 증착된 두께 깊이만큼 nano-indentation 분석을 실행 하였으며 박막 고유의 nano-mechanics 특성을 연구 하였다. ZrN 박막은 hard coating 분야에 많이 사용되는 물질로 박막 고유의 hardness를 연구하는 것이 큰 의미가 있다. 연구 결과 모든 박막은 두께 30% 깊이 측정에서 박막 표면과 기판효과가 최소화된 박막의 물성 측정이 가능 하였고, 증착 시 질소를 0.5, 1, 2 sccm 흘려준 박막들은 총 두께 30% 깊이에서 hardness가 각각 23.2, 8.6, 18 GPa이었다. 따라서 nano-indenter 측정 시 유효한 측정 깊이에서 측정을 실시하는 것이, 박막의 물성분석에 있어서 대단히 중요함을 확인 하였다.

한의 복진은 복부를 검사하기 위해 수행되지만 정량화되지는 않았다. 이 연구의 목표는 소화불량의 주요 증상인 흉협고만이 있는 그룹과 아닌 그룹 사이에 유의하게 차이나는 복부 측정기기의 변수를 식별하는 것이다. 정량적인 진단을 위해 규칙에 따라 구획한 복부를 적외선 열화상 카메라, 디지털 압통기, 3D 카메라 및 디지털 청진기를 포함한 기기로 측정하였다. 연구방법으로 임상연구를 수행하여 한의사들이 진단한 복부 증상인 흉협고만과의 일치도를 조사하였다. 기기 측정 중 깊이, 압력, 깊이에 대한 압력의 비율은 흉협고만 그룹이 비 흉협고만 그룹보다 유의하게 작았다. 따라서 물리적 압통 특성이 감소하고, 복부 경직도가 감소하며, 민감도가 증가했다. 좌측과 우측 늑골 사이의 거리, 흉늑골 각도는 흉협고만 환자에서 유의하게 더 컸다. 또한, 깊이 차이, 표면 법선 벡터 및 깊이 값 사이의 각도 차이는 흉협고만 그룹에서 대부분 작았다. 복부 측정기기는 다양한 질환 및 증상에 사용될 것으로 기대한다.

Determination of crack depth in filed using the self-calibrating surface wane transmission measurement and the cutting frequency in the transmission function (TRF) is very difficult due to variations of the measurement conditions. In this study, it is proposed to use the measured full TRF as a feature for crack depth assessment. A Principal component analysis (PCA) is employed to generate a basis of the measured TRFs for various crack cases. The measured TRFs are represented by their projections onto the most significant principal components. Then artificial neural networks (NNs) using the PCA-compressed TRFs is applied to assess the crack in concrete. Experimental study is carried out for five different crack cases to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Results reveal that the proposed method can be effectively used for the crack depth assessment of concrete structures.

UAV는 시 공간적인 제약을 받지 않고, 경제적 효율적으로 자료를 수집할 수 있는 장점이 있어 토목, 방재, 농업분야 등 다양한 분야에서 차세대 관측 장비로 각광받고 있다. 특히 수자원 분야에서는 하천측량, 수심측량, 지하수 등 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으나, 현재까지 적설에 대하여 UAV를 활용한 연구가 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 UAV 측량을 통하여 임의지역의 수치 표고 모형(DEM)을 추출하는 기술을 활용하여 적설깊이를 측정하는데 활용하였다. 먼저 강설 사상 이전 UAV를 통하여 연구지역의 고도를 측정하였으며, 강설 이후 재촬영 및 두 자료의 고도 차이를 계산하여 적설깊이를 계산하였다. UAV 적설깊이 자료의 검증을 위해 지상 관측지점을 설정하여 목측으로 적설을 관측하였으며, 추가적으로 건축물에 가해지는 하중을 계산하기 위해 적설밀도 및 SWE(Snow Water Equivalent)를 관측하였다. 연구지역은 평창군 대관령면 $1.3km^2$크기 내외 지역이며, 2019년 2, 3월 3개의 강설 사상에 대하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 적설깊이는 토지피복 및 온도와 크게 상관되었으며, 적설하중은 융설의 영향으로 적설깊이와는 크게 상관되지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 적설 피해 예측 및 예방에 활용될 수 있을 것이며, UAV를 통한 적설 측정의 적용가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Kinect depth sensor, a depth camera developed by Microsoft as a natural user interface for game appeared as a very useful tool in computer vision field. In this paper, due to kinect's depth sensor and its high frame rate, we developed a distance measurement system using Kinect camera to test it for unmanned vehicles which need vision systems to perceive the surrounding environment like human do in order to detect objects in their path. Therefore, kinect depth sensor is used to detect objects in its field of view and enhance the distance measurement system from objects to the vision sensor. Detected object is identified in accuracy way to determine if it is a real object or a pixel nose to reduce the processing time by ignoring pixels which are not a part of a real object. Using depth segmentation techniques along with Open CV library for image processing, we can identify present objects within Kinect camera's field of view and measure the distance from them to the sensor. Tests show promising results that this system can be used as well for autonomous vehicles equipped with low-cost range sensor, Kinect camera, for further processing depending on the application type when they reach a certain distance far from detected objects.

Nondestructive examination for low pressure turbine disc in standard nuclear power plant using phased array technique was studied. For this purpose, disc mockups were made and notches were machined in the mockups. Detection and length sizing by different methods are compared. Depth of deep notches could be measured by using AATT(absolute arrival time technique) or RATT(relative arrival time technique) but shallow notches that must be detected in early stage couldn't be measured by these two methods. For this case, notch depth was estimated by using signal response angle range and preyed usefulness.

This study is to evaluate thedosiemtric leaf gap (DLG) at different depths for dynamic intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in order to evaluate the absolute dose and dose distribution according to the different positions of tumors and compare the measured and planned the multileaf collimator (MLC) transmission factor (T.F.) and DLG values. We used the 6 MV and 15 MV photon beam from linear accelerator with a Millenium 120 MLC system. After the import the DICOM RT files, we measured the absolute dose at different depths (2 cm, 5 cm, 10 cm, and 15 cm) to calculate the MLC T. F. and DLG. For 6 MV photon beam, the measured both MLC T. F. and DLG were increased with the increase the measured depths. When applying to treatment planning systemas fixed transmission factor with its value measured under the reference condition at depth of 5 cm, although the difference fixed and varied transmission factor is not significant, the dosiemtric effect could be presented according to the depth that the tumor is placed. Therefore, we are planning to investigate the treatment planning system whichthe T. F. and DLG factor according to at the different depths can be applied in the patient-specific treatment plan.
