The purpose of this study was to develop a miniature imaging gamma probe with high performance that can detect small or residual tumors after surgery. Gamma probe detector system consists of NaI(Tl) scintillator, position sensitive photomultiplier tube (PSPMT), and collimator. PSPMT was optically coupled with 6.5 mm thick, 7.62 cm diameter of NaI(Tl) crystal and supplied with -1000V for high voltage. Parallel hexagonal hole collimator was manufactured for characteristics of 40-mm hole length, 1.3-mm hole diameter, and 0.22 mm septal thickness. Electronics consist of position and trigger signal readout systems. Position signals were obtained with summing, subtracting, and dividing circuit using preamplifer and amplifier. Trigger signals were obtained using summing amplifier, constant fraction discriminator, and gate and delay generator module with preamplifer. Data acquisition and processing were performed by Gamma-PF interface board inserted into pentium PC and PIP software. For imaging studies, flood and slit mask images were acquired using a point source. Two hole phantom images were also acquired with collimator. Intrinsic and system spatial resolutions were measured as 3.97 mm and 5.97 mm, respectively. In conclusion, Miniature gamma probe images based on the PSPMT showed good image quality, we conclude that the miniature imaging gamma probe was successfully developed and good image data were obtained. However, further studies will be required to optimize imaging characteristics.

SAR imagery usually reveals the influence of antenna look-direction on the delineation of geological structures. In this study, the look-direction bias in SAR image is quantitatively analyzed specifically for geological lineament study. Geologic lineaments are estimated using both Landsat TM and JERS-1 SAR images over the study area to quantitatively compare and analyze the look-direction bias in the SAR image. The standard geologic lineaments in the study area are established from lineaments estimated from TM images, field mapping, and fault lines in a published geologic map. The results show that lineaments normal to radar look-direction are extremely well enhanced while those parallel to look-direction are less visible as expected. However, certain lineaments even parallel to radar look-direction can still be detectable in a favorable topographic condition. Compared with TM image, the total number of detected lineaments in each direction in the SAR image increases or decreases ranging from 33% to 159% in length and from 28% to 187% in occurrence. The ratio of lineaments in SAR image to those in TM image with respect to direction can be fitted by a cosine function. The fitted function indicates that geological lineament is more easily detected in SAR image than in TM image within about $\pm$50$^{\circ}$ normal to radar look-direction. And lineaments with limited extension appear to be more sensitive to the look direction bias effect.

Image-based 3D reconstruction is to restore the shape and color of real-world objects, and image sensors mounted on mobile platforms are used for positioning and mapping purposes in indoor and outdoor environments. Due to the increase in accidents in underground space, the location accuracy problem of underground spatial information has been raised. Image-based location estimation studies have been conducted with the advantage of being able to determine the 3D location and simultaneously identify internal damage from image data acquired from the inside of pipeline-type underground facilities. In this study, we studied 3D reconstruction based on the images acquired inside the pipe-type underground facility and reference data. An unmanned mobile system equipped with a stereo camera was used to acquire data and image data within a pipe-type underground facility where reference data were placed at the entrance and exit. Using the acquired image and reference data, the pipe-type underground facility is reconstructed to a geo-referenced 3D shape. The accuracy of the 3D reconstruction result was verified by location and length. It was confirmed that the location was determined with an accuracy of 20 to 60 cm and the length was estimated with an accuracy of about 20 cm. Using the image-based 3D reconstruction method, the position and line-shape of the pipe-type underground facility will be effectively updated.

Recently we could generation of 3-D simulation image by use of various image contents, so I tried advanced methods very easily leads to the location on the GIS environments. Its used basically air photos and satellite sensor images for them. For the generate 3-D spatial be suitable to matching map coordinates using elevation data from digital topographic files, and matching to 3D spatial image contents through perspectives view condition composed to move according to fixed roads until arrive to location. Through this new system which tourists are able to simulate the interest paths or locations and to visit the cultural inheritance was proposed by combining various spatial data with the multimedia contents. This system provides people with guidance to locate the cultural assets in the Web environments. The developed system which is more convenient to provide tourists with the information and they are able to access automatically to location easily. In the future, the visitors are able to use easily the 3d image contents on the Internet or from the public tour information desk by using the simulation images.

This paper introduces a method of measuring the displacement of a cable-stayed bridge using digital image processing (DIP). The validity of the DIP technique was confirmed by comparing the results with those obtained using a displacement meter and ANSYS analysis. The normalized cross-correlation (NCC) coefficient was used. 100 kgf and 200 kgf loading experiments were carried out, which showed that when the displacement is large, the reliability of the DIP technique is increased. That is, when the load was increased from 100 kgf to 200kgf, it decreased from 31% to 14% compared to the ANSYS results and from 14% to 4% compared to the displacement meter results. Therefore, the image processing method is able to measure the displacement sufficiently accurately.

시간적 표본화를 채택한 다중경로방법에 의한 장면전환 검출방법은 전 동영상에 대해 매 프레임마다 순차적으로 검색하는 방법에 비해서 빠르며, 동일한 정확성을 갖고 있다. 그러나, 검출 시간을 최소화하기 위한 적절한 검출 간격을 선택하는 어떠한 기준이나 방법도 제시되지 않았으며 검출 간격을 경험에 의해 선택할 수밖에 없다. 이 논문에서는 장면 전환 검출 시간, 검출 간격과 실제 장면 전환 간격으로부터 검출 시간을 최소화하는 최적 검출 간격을 얻을 수 있음을 보였다. 평균 장면 전환 간격이 알려져 있지 않은 동영상에 대해서 최적 검출 간격을 추정할 수 있는 알고리듬을 제안하였다.
