The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are relationships between radiologic parameters for osteoporosis by the proximal femur radiograhps and bone mineral density, as assessed by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry(DEXA). Proximal femur anterior-posterior projection were taken from 112 individuals who undergoing DEXA. Radiographic parameters including canal-to-calcar ratio(CCR) and cortical thickness indices(CTI) were measured and compared with bone mineral density($g/cm^2$), T-score. The intramedullary femoral canal width(FW) and calcar width(CW) at osteoporosis group was significantly larger than that of control group. The CCR were correlated negatively with bone mineral density($g/cm^2$)(r=-0.340, p<0.01), and the CTI were correlated positively(r=0.624). The diagnostic accuracy of CCR for osteoporosis was 63.4%, and kappa value was 0.271. And the accuracy of CTI was 67.0%, and kappa value was the level of fair agreement(${\kappa}$=0.258). The proximal femur with large CCR and small CTI had lower T-scores. When evaluating proximal femur anterior-posterior radiographs, those patients with the thinnest femur diaphyseal cortices should be referred for further osteoporosis investigation.

In this paper, a recognition algorithm of the straight line components of lane markings and an obstacle in the travelling lane region is proposed. This algorithm also involve the pitching error correction algorithm due to traveling vehicle's fluctuation. In order to reduce their error a practical road image modelling algorithm using V.F. model and camera calibration procedure are suggested to adapt the geometric variations. It is obtained the 3D world coordinate data by the 2D road images. In experimental test, we showed that this algorithm is available to recognize lane markings and an obstacle in the traveling lane.

In image-based CFD modeling of carotid bifurcation hemodynamics, it is often not possible (or at least not convenient) to impose measured velocity profiles at the common carotid artery inlet. Instead, fully-developed velocity profiles are usually imposed based on measured flow rates. However, some studies reported a pronounced influence of inflow boundary conditions that were based on actual velocity profiles measured by magnetic resonance imaging which showing the unusual presence of a high velocity band in the middle of the vessel during early diastole inconsistent with a Dean-type velocity profile. We demonstrated that those velocity profiles were induced by the presence of modest secondary curvature of the inlet and set about to test whether such more "realistic" velocity profiles might indeed have a more pronounced influence on the carotid bifurcation hemodynamics. We found that inlet boundary condition with axisymmetric fully-developed velocity profile(Womersley flow) is reasonable as long as sufficient CCA inlet length of realistic geometry is applied.

Digital image processing is the technical area of processing and analysis with intellectual and efficient ways, which has been commercialized in a variety of applications. However, the noise is occurred in the image data with multiple reasons and various studies have been performed to eliminate the noise. Generally, the types of noise vary by causes and forms, and composite noise is the representative one. Hence, the modified switching filter to process by types of noise was suggested to eliminate composite noise in the image effectively and to have excellent characteristics of edge conservation.

히스토그램 스트레칭이나 히스토그램 균등화 등 기존 대비 향상 기법들과 히스토그램 균등화 기반의 수많은 방법들은 저대비에 소수의 화소들이 넓게 퍼져 있는 영상에 대해서 만족할만한 결과를 내지 못한다. 따라서 본 논문은 군집화 방법을 이용한 새로운 영상 대비 향상 기법을 제안한다. 히스토그램의 군집수는 원영상의 히스토그램을 분석하여 얻을 수 있다. 히스토그램 성분들을 K-means 알고리즘을 이용하여 군집화한다. 그리고 히스토그램 군집 범위와 군집의 화소수 비율을 비교하여 히스토그램 스트레칭과 히스토그램 균등화를 선택적으로 적용한다. 실험 결과로부터 제안한 방법이 기존의 대비 향상 기법들보다 더 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

활성 윤곽선 모델은 스네이크 모델이라고도 하며 영상에서 물체의 경계를 검출하기위한 효과적인 방법으로 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 초기 윤곽선 문제와 효과적인 경계선 검출을 위해 다해상도 기반의 유전자 알고리즘을 이용한 활성 윤곽선 모델을 제안한다. 입력영상의 해상도를 영상 피마리드 기법으로 저해상도로 축소시키고 초기 윤곽선을 설정한다. 설정된 윤곽선상의 연속된 두 좌표를 유전인자로 선택하고, 유전 연산자를 적용하여 물체의 경계를 찾아간다. 경계가 검출된 저해상도 영상을 단계적으로 확대하여, 보간될 영역의 국부적 활성 윤곽선 에너지를 계산하여 최소 에너지를 갖는 위치에 새로운 윤곽선 좌표를 삽입하여 경계를 형성한다. 제안된 방법은 초기 윤곽선의 위치에 상관없이 경계선을 검출했으며, 형태가 복잡한 물체의 경우에도 효과적으로 경계선을 검출하고 계산 복잡도를 감소시켰다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of midsagittal reference (MSR) planes constructed in maxillofacial 3D images. Methods: Maxillofacial computed tomography (CT) images were obtained in 36 normal occlusion individuals who did not have apparent facial asymmetry, and 3D images were reconstructed using a computer software. Six MSR planes (Cg-ANS-Ba, Cg-ANS-Op, Cg-PNS-Ba, Cg-PNS-OP, FH${\perp}$(Cg, Ba), FH${\perp}$(Cg, Op)) were constructed using the landmarks located in the midsagittal area of the maxillofacial structure, such as Cg, ANS, PNS, Ba and Op, and FH plane constructed with Po and Or. The six pairs of landmarks (Z, Fr, Fs, Zy, Mx, Ms), which represent right and left symmetry in the maxillofacial structure, were selected. Statistically significant differences of the right and the left measurements were examined through t-test, and the difference of the right and the left measurement was compared among the six MSR planes. Results: The distances from the right and the left landmarks in each pair to each MSR plane did not show a statistically significant difference. The reproducibility of the landmark identification was excellent. Conclusion: All the six planes constructed in this study can be used as a MSR plane in maxillofacial 3D analysis, particularly, the planes including Cg and ANS.

Hydrology-based topographical informations generated by GIS techniques could be changed according to the selection of base map, algorithm of extraction, and so on. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the variation of SCS CN extracted by GIS technique and to propose the effective strategy for applying GIS to the rainfall-runoff simulation in ungaged basin. For experimental implementation, GIS spatial data, such as reconnaissance soil map, detailed interpretative soil map, landuse planning map and remotely sensed data(Landsat TM), were collected and generated to calculate the amount of effective rainfall in Pyungchang river basin. In applying SCS Runoff Curve Number to the test basin, the hydrological attribute data were analyzed. In addition, the characteristics of runoff responses according to the selection of GIS spatial data for SCS CN were reviewed. This study shows the applicability of GIS techniques to runoff simulation in ungaged basin by comparing with the measured flood hydrograph. It has been found that the detained interpretative soil map and remote sensing data are appropriate for calculating of SCS CN.
