본 논문에서는 노후화된 목조·석조 건축물의 균열을 탐지하는 기법을 소개한다. 본 기법의 목적은 석조·목조 문화재의 시간의 흐름에 따른 관리 소홀, 균열(벌레, 날씨, 기온 등), 배부름 현상에 의한 문화재의 손상을 사전에 방지하기 위함이다. 기존에 존재하는 목조·석조 건축물의 균열, 노후, 배부름 등 다양한 결함과 변형의 탐지 방법은 접촉식 센서를 이용하여 탐지를 해왔지만, 문화재 자체의 미관을 해칠 뿐 아니라 문화재를 추가로 훼손할 가능성이 있다는 문제점이 제시되었다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 문화재 비 접촉형 탐지 기법을 사용한다. CCTV 및 DSLR과 같은 관측장비로 촬영한 영상정보를 기반으로 문화재의 결함과 변형을 AI 영상분석 기반 방법으로 판단하는 문제를 제안한다.

Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has shown potential clinical utility in a wide range of MRI fields. In particular, AI models for improving the efficiency of the image acquisition process and the quality of reconstructed images are being actively developed by the MR research community. AI is expected to further reduce acquisition times in various MRI protocols used in clinical practice when compared to current parallel imaging techniques. Additionally, AI can help with tasks such as planning, parameter optimization, artifact reduction, and quality assessment. Furthermore, AI is being actively applied to automate MR image analysis such as image registration, segmentation, and object detection. For this reason, it is important to consider the effects of protocols or devices in MR image analysis. In this review article, we briefly introduced issues related to AI application of MR image acquisition and reconstruction.

CCTV가 범죄 예방 및 수사에 사용되는데, 수사를 위해 저화질 CCTV 영상에서 특정인의 얼굴 인식엔 어려움을 겪어 CCTV 본연의 역할의 희석된다. 따라서 본 논문은 저화질 영상을 고화질로 변환하여 얼굴 인식의 정확성을 높일 수 있는 알고리즘을 연구하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 기존에 연구된 인공지능 기반의 업스케일링 알고리즘을 분석하여 K-FACE 데이터셋에 적절한 모델을 제안한다. 이를 위해 2020년 이전과 이후의 AI 업스케일링 관련 연구를 비교 분석한다. 향후 제시된 모델을 대상으로 동일한 환경내에서 K-FACE 데이터셋을 학습시켜 통일된 기준의 지표 산출이 필요하다.

본 논문에서는 저성능 컴퓨터나 스마트폰의 카메라를 통해 입력받은 영상을 기반으로 사용자의 포즈를 추정하고, 실시간으로 사용자의 포즈에 따라 3D 모델의 모션이 제어되어 가시화 될 수 있는 클라이어트-서버 구조의 "자세추정 및 3D 모델 모션 제어 시스템"을 제안한다. 제안 시스템은 소켓통신 기반의 클라이언트-서버구조로 구성되어, 서버에서는 실시간 자세 추정을 위한 딥러닝 모델이 수행되고, 저성능 클라이언트에서는 실시간으로 카메라 영상을 획득하여 영상을 서버에 전송하고, 서버로부터 자세 추정 정보를 받아 이를 3D 모델에 반영하고 렌더링 함으로써 사용자와 함께 3D 모델이 같은 동작을 수행하는 증강현실 화면을 생성한다. 고성능을 요구하는 객체 자세 추정 모듈은 서버에서 실행하고, 클라이언트에서는 영상 획득 및 렌더링만을 실행하기 때문에, 모바일 앱에서의 실시간 증강현실을 위한 자세 추정 및 3D 모델 모션 제어가 가능하다. 제안 시스템은 "증강현실 기반 영상 찍기 앱" 에 반영되어 사용자의 움직임을 따라하는 3D 캐릭터들의 영상을 쉽게 생성할 수 있도록 할 수 있다.

The rapid development of information technology is also bringing about many changes in the medical environment. In particular, it is leading the rapid change of medical image information systems using big data and artificial intelligence (AI). The prescription delivery system (OCS), which consists of an electronic medical record (EMR) and a medical image storage and transmission system (PACS), has rapidly changed the medical environment from analog to digital. When combined with multiple solutions, PACS represents a new direction for advancement in security, interoperability, efficiency and automation. Among them, the combination with artificial intelligence (AI) using big data that can improve the quality of images is actively progressing. In particular, AI PACS, a system that can assist in reading medical images using deep learning technology, was developed in cooperation with universities and industries and is being used in hospitals. As such, in line with the rapid changes in the medical image information system in the medical environment, structural changes in the medical market and changes in medical policies to cope with them are also necessary. On the other hand, medical image information is based on a digital medical image transmission device (DICOM) format method, and is divided into a tomographic volume image, a volume image, and a cross-sectional image, a two-dimensional image, according to a generation method. In addition, recently, many medical institutions are rushing to introduce the next-generation integrated medical information system by promoting smart hospital services. The next-generation integrated medical information system is built as a solution that integrates EMR, electronic consent, big data, AI, precision medicine, and interworking with external institutions. It aims to realize research. Korea's medical image information system is at a world-class level thanks to advanced IT technology and government policies. In particular, the PACS solution is the only field exporting medical information technology to the world. In this study, along with the analysis of the medical image information system using big data, the current trend was grasped based on the historical background of the introduction of the medical image information system in Korea, and the future development direction was predicted. In the future, based on DICOM big data accumulated over 20 years, we plan to conduct research that can increase the image read rate by using AI and deep learning algorithms.

This study aims to analyze the development and current trends of AI-based medical imaging devices commercialized in South Korea. As of September 30, 2023, there were a total of 186 AI-based medical devices licensed, certified, and reported to the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, of which 138 were related to imaging. The study comprehensively examined the yearly approval trends, equipment types, application areas, and key functions from 2018 to 2023. The study found that the number of AI medical devices started from four products in 2018 and grew steadily until 2023, with a sharp increase after 2020. This can be attributed to the interaction between the advancement of AI technology and the increasing demand in the medical field. By equipment, AI medical devices were developed in the order of CT, X-ray, and MR, which reflects the characteristics and clinical importance of the images of each equipment. This study found that the development of AI medical devices for specific areas such as the thorax, cranial nerves, and musculoskeletal system is active, and the main functions are medical image analysis, detection and diagnosis assistance, and image transmission. These results suggest that AI's pattern recognition and data analysis capabilities are playing an important role in the medical imaging field. In addition, this study examined the number of Korean products that have received international certifications, particularly the US FDA and European CE. The results show that many products have been certified by both organizations, indicating that Korean AI medical devices are in line with international standards and are competitive in the global market. By analyzing the impact of AI technology on medical imaging and its potential for development, this study provides important implications for future research and development directions. However, challenges such as regulatory aspects, data quality and accessibility, and clinical validity are also pointed out, requiring continued research and improvement on these issues.

The incidence of neurodegenerative diseases in the older population has increased in recent years. A considerable number of studies have been performed to characterize these diseases. Imaging analysis is an important biomarker for the diagnosis of neurodegenerative disease. Objective and reliable assessment and precise detection are important for the early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. Artificial intelligence (AI) using brain MRI applied to the study of neurodegenerative diseases could promote early diagnosis and optimal decisions for treatment plans. MRI-based AI software have been developed and studied worldwide. Representatively, there are MRI-based volumetry and segmentation software. In this review, we present the development process of brain volumetry analysis software in neurodegenerative diseases, currently used and developed AI software for neurodegenerative disease in the Republic of Korea, probable uses of AI in the future, and AI software limitations.
