In recent years, a high-quality video input device has been generalized, and a central control system capable of simultaneously viewing video input in real time has become an essential element. At this time, there are attempts to access through the web without installing the program separately. However, if multiple high-quality videos are simultaneously viewed through the web browser, the web browser is terminated by force. In this paper, we propose a web-based HLS(HTTP Live Streaming) multi-view system for real-time high-definition video. We have reconstructed the multi-view screen as a screen by transcoding and implemented a system that can monitor multiple video inputs through a web browser on the fly without using security vulnerability ActiveX.

ROC(Receiver Operating Characteristic)curve is the method that estimate detected insignificant signal from the human's sense of sight, it has been raised excellent results. In this study, we evaluate image quality and equipment character by obtaining a chest image from CR(Computed Radiography) and DDR(Direct Digital radiography) using the human chest phantom, The parameter of exposure for obtaining chest image was 120 kVp/3.2 mAs and the SID(Source to Image Distance) was 180cm. The images were obtained by CR(AGFA MD 4.0 General plate, JAPAN) and DDR(HOLOGIC nDirect Ray, USA). Using some pieces of Aluminum and stone for expressing regions, then attached them on the heart, lung and thoracic vertebrae of the phantom. 29 persons hold radiology degrees were participated in ROC analysis. As a result of the ROC analysis, TPF(true positive fraction) and FPF(false positive fraction) of DDR and CR are 0.552 and 0.474 and 0.629 and 0.405, respectively. By using the results, the ROC curve of CR has higher image quality than DDR. According to the theory, DDR has the higher image quality than CR in chest X-ray image. But, CR has the higher image quality than DDR. quality of DDR inserted the enhance board. The results confirmed that image post-processing is important element decipherment of clinical.

System performances in terms of image quality between an amorphous silicon DR system and a conventional film-screen system were evaluated. Various aspects of image quality MTF (modulation transfer function), NPS (noise power spectrum), SNR(signal-to-noise ratio) and contrast were measured and calculated. The MTF of the DR system was comparable to the film-screen systems. The noise was mainly dominated by the quantum mottle in both systems and the electronic noise was found in the DR system. The contrast of the DR system was better than the film-screen systems by virtue of high sensitivity and image processing. Compared to the film-screen systems in general radiography, the DR system had similar resolution and showed better contrast with the same exposure condition after contrast manipulation. The results of this study provide some useful information about the performance of the DR system in connection with medical applications.

Purpose: Nowadays in the nuclear medicine, many studies and efforts are being made to reduce the scan time, as well as the waiting time to be needed to execute exams after injection of radionuclide medicines. Several methods are being used in clinic, such as developing new radionuclide compounds that enable to be absorbed into target organs more quickly and reducing acquisition scan time by increase the number of Gamma Camera detectors to examine. Each medical equipment manufacturer has improved the imaging process techniques to reduce scan time. In this paper, we tried to analyze the difference of image quality between FBP, 3D OSEM reconstruction methods that commercialized and being clinically applied, and Astonish reconstruction method (A kind of Iterative fast reconstruction method of Philips), also difference of image quality on scan time. Material and Methods: We investigated in 32 patients that examined the Bone SPECT from June to July 2008 at department of nuclear medicine, ASAN Medical Center in Seoul. 40sec/frame and 20sec/frame images were acquired that using Philips‘ PRECEDENCE 16 Gamma Camera and then reconstructed those images by using the Astonish (Philips’ Reconstruction Method), 3D OSEM and FBP methods. The blinded test was performed to the clinical interpreting physicians with all images analyzed by each reconstruction method for qualitative analysis. And we analyzed target to non target ratio by draws lesions as the center of disease for quantitative analysis. At this time, each image was analyzed with same location and size of ROI. Results: In a qualitative analysis, there was no significant difference by acquisition time changes in image quality. In a quantitative analysis, the images reconstructed Astonish method showed good quality due to better sharpness and distinguish sharply between lesions and peripheral lesions. After measuring each mean value and standard deviation value of target to non target ratio with 40 sec/frame and 20sec/frame images, those values are Astonish (40 sec-$13.91{\pm}5.62$ : 20 sec-$13.88{\pm}5.92$), 3D OSEM (40 sec-$10.60{\pm}3.55$ : 20 sec-$10.55{\pm}3.64$), FBP (40 sec-$8.30{\pm}4.44$ : 20 sec-$8.19{\pm}4.20$). We analyzed target to non target ratio from 20 sec and 40 sec images. And we analyzed the result, In Astonish (t=0.16, p=0.872), 3D OSEM (t=0.51, p=0.610), FBP (t=0.73, p=0.469) methods, there was no significant difference statistically by acquisition time change in image quality. But FBP indicates no statistical differences while some images indicate difference between 40 sec/frame and 20 sec/frame images by various factors. Conclusions: In the circumstance, try to find a solution to reduce nuclear medicine scan time, the development of nuclear medicine equipment hardware has decreased while software has marched forward at a relentless. Due to development of computer hardware, the image reconstruction time was reduced and the expanded capacity to restore enables iterative methods that couldn't be performed before due to technical limits. As imaging process technique developed, it reduced scan time and we could observe that image quality keep similar level. While keeping exam quality and reducing scan time can induce the reduction of patient's pain and sensory waiting time, also accessibility of nuclear medicine exam will be improved and it provide better service to patients and clinical physician who order exams. Consequently, those things make the image of department of nuclear medicine be improved. Concurrent Imaging - A new function that setting up each image acquisition parameter and enables to acquire images simultaneously with various parameters to once examine.

본 논문은 영상 처리에 의해 광학렌즈의 먼지 및 이물질의 유무를 검출하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 현재 사용되고 있는 비접촉 검사용 비젼 시스템은 마스크 기법을 활용하여 기준 영상에 비해 어느 정도의 잡음이 있는지를 검사한다. 그러나 조명의 정도, 반사 및 이물질의 유형에 따라 검출하기가 어렵다. 이를 해결하기 위해 파란색 LED 광원을 수평축에 설치하여 양각 부분의 에지들을 더욱 강조하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 이물질 검출은 간단한 소벨 에지 마스크를 사용하고 이물질의 크기에 따라 먼지 및 이물질에 대한 판단을 결정하였다. 크기 및 색상이 틀린 렌즈를 사용하여 실험한 결과 일반 영상에서 검출한 것보다 파란색 LED 광원과 영상처리에 의해 잡음 및 이물질을 강건하게 검출하여 렌즈의 자동 검사용 로봇 비젼 시스템에 적용이 가능하다.

X-ray 영상 검사·검출 문제에 기존 딥러닝 모델을 사용하려는 시도들이 존재해왔고, 합성곱 신경망의 강력한 표현력 덕분에 대체로 준수한 성능이 보장되었다. 그러나 문제의 특성에 따라 기대한 만큼의 분류 및 검출 성능이 나오지 않는 경우가 존재한다. 이는 1) 검출 대상의 스케일이 다양하거나, 2) X-ray 영상은 흑백 영상으로 미세한 특징을 학습하기 어렵거나, 3) 지도학습을 하기에는 학습 데이터의 양이 부족하기 때문인 것이 주요 원인들이다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 스케일의 특징맵을 추출하여 종합적으로 학습하는 신경망을 통해, '생선살 X-ray 영상' 데이터셋에서 '생선 가시' 이물질 class가 모델 내에서 어떻게 학습되는지를 살펴본다. 그리고 X-ray 영상의 경우, 이물질 class를 크기별로 새롭게 labeling하여 성능 개선이 일어날 수 있음을 보인다. 또한 Multi-scale CAM을 통해 class에 따른 활성화 정도를 시각화하여 모델을 직관적으로 분석할 수 있음을 보일 것이다.

In this paper, we present an image retrieval method for improving retrieval performance by fusion of probabilistic method and query point movement. In the proposed algorithm, the similarity for probabilistic method and the similarity for query point movement are fused in the computation of the similarity between a query image and database image. The probabilistic method used in this paper is suitable for handling negative examples. On the other hand, query point movement deals with the statistical property of positive examples. Combining these two methods, our goal is to overcome their shortcoming. Experimental results show that the proposed method yields better performances over the probabilistic method and query point movement, respectively.

본 논문에서는 내용기반 영상검색중 객체기반검색 방법에 대해 다룬다. 먼저 색상과 질감정보가 동일한 영역을 VQ알고리즘을 이용해 군집화 함으로써 동일한 영역을 추출하는 새로운 영상분할기법을 제안하고, 분할 후에 분할에 사용된 색상과 질감정보, 객체간의 위치정보와 영역크기정보를 가지고 객체간 유사도를 판별하여 영상을 검색한다. 이 때 사용되는 색상의 범위의 몇 개의 주요한 색상으로 표시하기 위해 색상테이블을 사용하고 인간의 인지도에 의해 다시 그룹화 함으로써 계산량과 데이터저장의 효율성을 높인다. 영상검색시에는 질의 영상의 관심객체와 비교대상이 되는 데이터베이스 영상의 여러 객체와의 유사성을 판단하여 영상간의 유사도를 계산하는 일대다 매칭 방법(One Object to Multi Objects Matching)과 질의 영상의 여러 객체와 데이터베이스영상의 여러 객체간의 유사도를 판단하는 다대다 매칭 방법(Multi Objects to Multi Objects Matching)을 제안한다. 또한, 제안된 시스템은 고속검색을 실현하기 위해 주요한 색상값을 키(key)색인화 해서 일치가능성이 없는 영상들은 1차적으로 제거함으로써 검색시간을 줄일 수 있도록 했다.
