Moving object boundary is very important for the accurate segmentation of moving object. We extract the moving object boundary from the moving object edge. But the object boundary shows broken boundaries so we develop a novel boundary linking algorithm to link the broken boundaries. The boundary linking algorithm forms a quadrant around the terminating pixel in the broken boundaries and searches for other terminating pixels to link in concentric circles clockwise within a search radius in the forward direction. The boundary linking algorithm guarantees the shortest distance linking. We register the background from the image sequence using the stationary background filtering. We construct two object masks, one object mask from the boundary linking and the other object mask from the initial moving object, and use these two complementary object masks to segment the moving objects. The main contribution of the proposed algorithms is the development of the novel object boundary linking algorithm for the accurate segmentation. We achieve the accurate segmentation of moving object, the segmentation of multiple moving objects, the segmentation of the object which has a hole within the object, the segmentation of thin objects, and the segmentation of moving objects in the complex background using the novel object boundary linking and the background automatically. We experiment the algorithms using standard MPEG-4 test video sequences and real video sequences of indoor and outdoor environments. The proposed algorithms are efficient and can process 70.20 QCIF frames per second and 19.7 CIF frames per second on the average on a Pentium-IV 3.4GHz personal computer for real-time object-based processing.

Hyperthermia using transrectal thermal probes has been used for a noninvasive treatment of prostate diseases. However it is known that heating the rectal wall at excessively high temperature can lead to destruction of the rectal mucous membrane. and it is difficult to maintain an optimum temperature over the entire prostate. Thus, a more accurate understanding of the heat transfer mechanism between prostate and hyperthermia system is needed Numerical analysis was performed to investigate how the cold/warm stimulations on the prostate surface affect the temperature distribution in the prostate model. The general purpose software "FLUENT" was used for obtaining a finite volume solution to the unsteady conduction equation and to calculate the time-varying temperature in the prostate. Effects of the warm/cold stimulations and the stimulation frequency on the temperature distribution were simulated. and we visualized how hyperthermia affected the inside of the prostate. It was found that the effect of hyperthermia by using a typical heating method is limited due to the low thermal conductivity of the prostate. Consecutive repetitions of warm and cold stimulations were considered to provide the thermal irritations inside a prostate. The effects of temperature difference and duration of warm/cold stimulations were investigated, and basic data for the optimum period and effective patterns of stimulations were obtained. A simplified bioheat equation was also solved to describe effects of the blood flow on the blood-tissue heat transfer. The effect of blood flow was not dominant compared to that of warm/cold stimulations. These results might be used as data for design of prostate treating probe, prostatic therapy and thermal stimulation effects on the prostate.

When continuous X-ray are used when acquiring and X-ray image, even the same material may not be accurately represented in the image according to the thickness due to various X-ray energies. To solve this problem, the X-ray energy spectrum was changed to improve the image quality. Using SPEKTR v3.0, an X-ray energy spectrum with an additional filter added and a general X-ray energy spectrum using only a unique filter were obtained. Simulation was performed using the obtained X-ray energy spectrum as a radiation source for Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission (GATE). Using GATE data, an X-ray image with an additional filter and an image reconstructed from and X-ray image without an additional filter were compared and analyzed through a mono energy image of 74 keV. In the case of using the X-ray energy spectrum without using an additional filter, the amount of X-rays transmitted according to the thickness of the same material is different from the amount that decreases according to the thickness of the material. Similar results were obtained as the amount decreased with the material thickness. In other words, a similar result was obtained when the reduced dose was used with a mono energy. When an X-ray image is obtained by changing an X-ray energy spectrum using an additional filter, a more accurate result of transmission of X-rays may be obtained. In radiological examination, it was confirmed that the appropriate use of the additional filter has a great effect on improving the image quality.

This paper presents a method to extract 3D outlines of objects in an image obtained from a monocular vision. After detecting the general outlines of the object by MOPS(Multi-Scale Oriented Patches) -algorithm and we obtain their spatial coordinates. Simultaneously, it obtains the space-coordinates with feature points to be immanent within the outlines of objects through SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform)-algorithm. It grasps a form of objects to join the space-coordinates of outlines and SIFT feature points. The method which is proposed in this paper, it forms general outlines of objects, so that it enables a rapid calculation, and also it has the advantage capable of collecting a detailed data because it supplies the internal-data of outlines through SIFT feature points.

오늘날 폰트를 디자인하는데 주로 사용되는 외곽선 방식은 글자의 크기를 손쉽게 변경할 수 있으나 글자의 굵기나 스타일을 변화시키려면 다시 수작업을 통해서 디자인을 변경해야 한다. 이를 보완하기 위한 프로그래머블 폰트인 메타폰트는 매개변수를 사용하여 글자의 변화가 매우 용이하다. 하지만 메타폰트는 프로그래밍 언어이므로 메타폰트에 대한 선행학습이 필요하여 폰트 디자이너에게 사용되지 않았다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 폰트 디자이너에게 익숙한 외곽선 방식에 편집기를 제공하면서 글자의 스타일에 대한 변화를 메타폰트에서 처리하여 다양한 폰트를 파생할 수 있는 한글 외곽선 폰트 시스템을 제안한다. 이를 위하여 본 시스템에서는 외곽선 방식의 폰트를 제작할 수 있도록 하는 웹 외곽선 폰트 편집기를 구현하였으며 외곽선 방식의 폰트를 메타폰트로 변환하는 UFO2mf를 구현하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 폰트 시스템은 기존 외곽선 방식의 스타일 변화에 대한 수고를 덜어줄 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

We obtained UV light curves of 44i Bootis, a W UMa type star from the IUE low dispersion spectra. In order to investigate variations of the emission lines from chromospheric activity and transition region, UV line intensity has been measured for CI, CII, ClV, SiIV, HeII lines. Through plotting the line intensity with the orbital phase, we found that emission lines showed maximum at $0^p.2;and;0^p.8$ of the light curves, indicating the chromospheric activity of contact binary, 44i Bootis. We found that the light curves of UV emission lines is strongly modulated by the variation of chromospheric activities of 44i Bootis.

We calculate the theoretical line profiles in order to investigate the influence of various velocity parameters. Line profiles are calculated by using the exponential velocoty law with two acceleration regions for orbital phases $\phi$ = 0.07 and $\phi$ = 0.06. From this compttation we find that the influence of the wind velocity gradient on a giant star is more important in the region near the star than in the region away from the star. The observed lines show stronger emission than the calculated line profiles and we interpret the difference is caused by the inhomogeniety in the atmosphere of 32 Cyg.

This is a case report on the lipoma of the parotid gland. Lipomas are common soft tissue neoplasms found only rarely in the region of the parotid gland, and therefore often not considered in the initial differential diagnosis of a mass presenting in this region. Clinically they can be confused with other being lesions and there was no reliable methods to make a preoperative diagnosis of the lipoma until 1980's; however, CT allows a specific diagnosis to be made in virtually all case. We experienced that CT imaging permit the preoperative diagnosis of the lipoma, so could remove it preserving the parotid gland.

To design the light control system using the PLC(Power Line Communication) with the ballasts of MH(Metal Halide) lamps, we analyzed the noise effect on the power line by the electronic ballast. For the power line characteristics are changed by the loads, the ballast have to be designed to be suitable to the PLC. Therefore, this paper proposed the optimal ballast and designed two kinds of PLM(Power Line Modem) which one is ASK type and the other is FSK type. Two type of PLM have used the manchester codes or DS/SS code. Experimental results have shown that the FSK type modem by the DS/SS coding technique have the best characteristics.
