Neural representation of a visual object is distributed across visual cortex and overlapped with those of many other objects. Thus repeating an object facilitates the recognition of the object while it impairs the recognition of other objects. These effects are called repetition priming and antipriming, respectively. Two experiments investigated a new phenomenon of repetition antipriming, in which a repeated object itself is antiprimed. The learning stage presented object pictures which were degraded at various levels. Participants determined how recognizable each object was. Then, the test stage presented the intact version of the object pictures and made participants to perform a categorization task. Both Experiment 1 and 2 found that the processing of the objects that had been recognized were facilitated (repetition priming) while the processing of the objects that had been perceptually ambiguous were impaired (repetition antipriming). These findings suggest that experiencing a perceptually ambiguous object might enhance the connection between feature-level representations and multiple object-level representations, which impairs the subsequent recognition of the repeated object.

The combination of both phase-shifting convolution and 2-bit quantization smoothing filter was used to reduce speckle noise from saw-tooth speckle fringes phase map, obtained in phase-shifting speckle interferometer. The phase-shifting convolution showed the noise reduction capability of speckle fringe without destroying edge information across 271 jump. Also, it was shown that the 2-bit quantization smoothing filter was superior to average, low-pass filter and median filter in speeding up smoothing process and enhancing SIN ratio. Finally, a path dependent unwrapping algorithm was used to unwrap a noise reduced 271 modulo speckle phasemap. semap.

The spot detection phase of the 2-DE image analysis program segments a gel image into spot regions by an image segmentation algorithm and fits the spot regions to a spot shape model and quantifies the spot informations for the next phases. Currently the watershed algorithm is generally used as the segmentation algorithm and there are the Gaussian model and the diffusion model for the shape model. The diffusion model is closer to real spot shapes than the Gaussian model however spots have very various shapes and especially an asymmetric formation in x-coordinate and y-coordinate. The reason for asymmetric formation of spots is known that a protein could not be diffused completely because the 2-DE could not be processed under the ideal environment usually. Accordingly we propose an asymmetric diffusion model in this paper. The asymmetric diffusion model assumes that a protein spot is diffused from a disc at initial time of diffusing process, but is diffused asymmetrically for x-axis and y-axis respectively as time goes on. In experiments we processed spot matching for 19 gel images by using three models respectively and evaluated averages of SNR for comparing three models. As averages of SNR we got 14.22dB for the Gaussian model, 20.72dB for the diffusion model and 22.85dB for the asymmetric diffusion model. By experimental results we could confirm the asymmetric diffusion model is more efficient and more adequate for spot matching than the Gaussian model and the diffusion model.

Biologist must have to do 2DGE biological experiment for Protein Search and Analysis. This experiment coming into being 2 dimensional image. 2DGE (2D Gel Electrophoresis : two dimensional gel electrophoresis) image is the most widely used method for isolating of the objective protein by comparative analysis of the protein spot pattern in the gel plane. The process of protein spot analysis, firstly segment protein spots that are spread in 2D gel plane by image processing and can find important protein spots through comparative analysis with protein pattern of contrast group. In the algorithm which detect protein spots, previous 2DGE image analysis is applies gaussian fitting, however recently Watersheds region based segmentation algorithm, which is based on morphological segmentation is applied. Watersheds has the benefit that segment rapidly needed field in big sized image, however has under-segmentation and over-segmentation of spot area when gray level is continuous. The drawback was somewhat solved by marker point institution, but needs the split and merge process. This paper introduces a novel marker search of protein spots by watersheds-based hierarchical threshold, which can resolve the problem of marker-driven watersheds.

Metal filter elements were newly introduced to the high temperature filter(HTF) system in the low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste vitrification plant. In order to evaluate the performance of various metal materials as filter media, elements made of AISI 316L, AISI 904L, and Inconel 600 were included to the test set of filter elements. At the visual inspection to the elements performed after completion of each test, a few dark spots were observed on the surface of some elements. Especially they were found much more at the AISI 316L elements than others. To check the dark spots are the corrosion phenomena or not, two kinds of analyses were performed to the tested filter elements. Firstly, the surfaces or the cross sections of filter specimens cut out from both normal area and dark spot area of elements were analyzed by SEM/EDS. The results showed that the dark spots were not evidences of corrosion but the deposition of sodium, sulfur and silica compounds volatilized from waste or molten glass. Secondly, the ring tensile strength were analyzed for the ring-shape filter specimens cut out from each kind of element. The result obtained from the strength tested showed no evidence of corrosion as well. Conclusionally, depending on the two kinds of analysis, no evidences of corrosion were found at the tested metal filter elements. But the dark spots formed on the surface could reduce the effective filtering area and increase the overall pressure drop of HTF system. Thus, continuous heating inside filter housing up to dew point will be required normally. And a few long-period test should be followed for the exact evaluation of corrosion of the metal filter elements.

게놈 프로젝트에 의해 인간 유전자 영기서열이 밝혀지면서 개개인의 유전자에 나타나는 SNP(Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)을 분석하여 질병의 진단과 예후, 치료와 예방이 미래에 가능하게 되었다. 본 논문은 그러한 SNP 분석을 위한 자동 분석 시스템의 영상 처리 과정으로서, 기존의 육안을 통해 분석하였던 TDGS 영상을 본 시스템의 자동적인 영상 처리 과정을 통해 SNP 분석을 위한 디지털 패턴을 추출한다. SNP 분석을 위해 사용되는 샘플은 대략 수백개가 되는데, 실험이라는 특성상 영상에 나타나는 불규칙한 요소들이 많고. 영상의 상태가 좋지 않은 경우 명암도가 낮은 반점들의 구분이 힘들게 된다. 본 논문에서는 TDGS 영상의 지역적 특성을 가장 잘 반영하기 위한 동적 이진화의 새로운 척도를 제안하였고, 영상에서 잡영과 배경을 제거한 후 남겨진 관심영역을 반점으로 판별하여 이를 디지털 패턴으로 추출한 결과를 보여 준다.

본 논문은 2차원 전기영동에 의해 나타나는 TOGS 영상을 분석하기 위한 시스템으로 실험적인 특성상 젤 위에 나타나는 반점들의 불규칙한 요소들이 많고 영상의 상태가 좋지 않은 경우 명암도가 떨어지는 반점들의 구분이 힘들게 된다. 기존의 전문가의 육안에 의한 TDGS 영상 분석은 그러한 불안적 요소들에 대해 유연하게 대처할 수 있는 능력이 있었다. 하지만, 그러한 예외적인 경우를 컴퓨터가 처리하기 위해서는 영상의 지역적 상태에 맞는 융통성 있는 영상처리 과정이 필요하고, 실제 분석에 사용되지 않는 반정들을 제외한 유효한 디지털 패턴의 판별이 요구된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 영상의 지역적 특성을 효과적으로 반영한 동적 이진화 방법을 통해 후보 패턴들을 추출하고, 모든 샘플들의 기준이 되는 Reference 패턴과 후보 패턴의 point matching 과정을 통해 디지털 패턴을 추출한다.

Ferroxyl Test는 박막의 치밀도를 측정하는 대표적인 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 Ferroxyl Test를 이용하여 박막의 치밀도를 정량적으로 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 알루미늄(aluminum; Al)은 뛰어난 내부식성 때문에 모재의 부식을 막을 수 있는 보호막으로 널리 사용되고 있다. Al 박막의 치밀도를 측정하기 위해서 스퍼터링(sputtering)으로 철(Fe) 기판위에 Al 타겟(99.99%)을 이용하여 박막을 코팅하였다. Ferroxyl Test 용액은 순수(deionized water)에 Potassium Ferrocyanide와 황산(또는 염화나타륨과 염화암모늄)을 첨가하여 제작하며, 용액에 거름종이를 적셔 Al이 코팅된 철 시편위에 올려놓고 반응시킨다. 일반적인 Ferroxyl test는 거름종이에 나타난 파란색(prussian blue) 반점의 숫자와 면적으로 치밀도를 측정한다. 하지만 이러한 방법은 측정 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 시편에 나타난 반응 반점의 면적을 광학 현미경이나 전자 현미경으로 이미지화하고, 이미지 프로세싱 프로그램을 이용하여 반응 면적을 수치화함으로써 측정오차를 줄이고 정확도를 높이고자 한다. 이러한 측정 방법을 이용하여 알루미늄 박막의 치밀도를 측정한 결과, 최고의 치밀도를 갖는 Al 박막이 Bulk 밀도의 94% 이상으로 측정되었다.
