In this letter, to determine how mathematical morphology operators can be best used to enhance the accuracy of background subtraction for "soccer videos", we conducted an experimental comparative study. We investigated six different mathematical morphology operators under the same experimental setup. We found that the closing by reconstruction-opening by reconstruction is optimal through the experiments using the F-measure. We believe that this comprehensive comparative study serves as a reference point and guide for developers and practitioners in choosing an appropriate mathematical morphology operator adopted for building intelligent soccer video analysis systems.

The purpose of this study is to present the algorithm to minimize the image noise caused by deterioration of high X-ray container inspection equipment and the faulty detection sensors, and to improvement quality of the container inspection images using MATLAB Toolbox. The daily checking images for the container inspection were used with the subject images and the noise caused by the horizontal and vertical images was evaluated with Root Mean Square (RMS) method, which is the most basic evaluation method of digital radiation image. Also, quality of the improved images was evaluated compared to quality of the orignal images. As a result, all RMS value of the improved images was lower then the original images by a mean of 13.5% in the horizontal images and 18.2% in the vertical images respectively. Also so did RMS value of the improved container images, by a mean of 13.4% in the horizontal images and 19.1% in the vertical images respectively. These findings can be verified objectively and visually and they would help the reading process of the container images be effective in Korea Customs Service.

위성영상을 이용하여 수치표고모형을 제작하기 위해서는 영상정합이 가장 중요한 필수 과정이다. 하지만 위성영상은 항공사진과 달리 off-nadir 현상으로 인해 동일 영상내의 공칭 해상도가 달라질 수 있고 관측각에 따라 보다 심한 기하학적 왜곡이 발생할 수 있기 영상정합이 쉽지 않다 본 연구에서는 다항식비례모형을 이용한 대상공간영상정합기법을 적용하여 위성영상에 대한 영상정합을 성공적으로 수행하였고 이를 통해 수치표고모형을 제작, 그 정확도를 평가하고 적용 가능성을 제시하였다.

영상이 포함하고 있는 풍부한 정보를 검출하고 이해하기 위해서는, 영상속의 일관된 상호관계를 갖는 영상 객체 그룹을 이해하고 표현하는 영상 구문 검출 기술(Visual Phrase Detecting Technology)이 필수적이다. 영상 구문 검출 기술은, 영상이 포함하고 있는 다양하고 풍부한 정보를 추출하고 활용하기 위한 핵심 기술로 이를 이용한 자동차 주행중 전방 감시, 영상의 자동 주석 달기, 동영상의 검색, 쇼핑 공간에서의 부정행위 검출(fraud detection) 등 다양한 분야에 적용할 수 있다.

The Study In order to obtain a sharpness Image from Skull PA axial projection (Haas) in a head axial X-ray Examination, this study changed the posture angle using Skull Phantom and evaluated the image subjectively to 5 radiologists who worked in the Department of Imaging at University Hospital. In the prone position, the head was lowered 4 cm from the back of the head, entered 25° toward the head, and the image evaluation score was high with 20 points, such as the back bone, dorsum sellae projected in the large hole, and posterior clinoid process. In addition, the score significance was verified, and the Cronbach Alpha value was evaluated to have good reliability of 0.789. As a result of calculating the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by setting the region of interest (ROI) of the image, it was the highest at 5.957 for 25° incident at the back of the head and 6.430 for 30° incident at the back of the head. As a result of the study, in order to obtain a sharp image of the back of the head bone, dorsum sellae, and posterior clinoid process when shooting in the axial direction after the head, it is filmed by tilting 25° toward the head from 4 cm below the back of the head. In order to obtain a sharp image of rock pyramid symmetry, petrous ridge, sagittal suture, and lambdoid suture, it is thought that it will be helpful for clinical use if you shoot it 8cm down from the back of the head and tilt it 30° toward the head.

This paper proposes a cognitive contrast enhancement algorithm based on the non-linear masking to advance low cognitive contrast in dark regions of images. In order to improve brightness in dark regions of an image, we propose a new contrast enhancement algorithm based on the non-linear masking using regional adaptive parameters of an image. For performance evaluation of the proposed method, chromaticity and saturation comparison as a quantitative assessment and z-score comparison as a qualitative assessment were executed between test images and their simulated images by SSR, MSR, a conventional non-linear masking and the proposed method, respectively. As a result, the proposed method showed low chromaticity and saturation difference and improved cognitive contrast for the three methods.

In this paper, an improved EUT(Equipment Under Test) evaluation method using image monitor for power frequency magnetic field immunity test was proposed and development of an automated real time image monitoring program was described. The proposed power frequence magnetic field immunity test detects automatically the change between the affected and unaffected image of EUT under the influence of electromagnetic wave. The proposed method for real time decision supplements shortcomings of the currently used method which is subjective to tester´s decision by ensuring the repeatability of the test. The change detection of EUT image provides a possibility of the immunity decision for PC monitors. In addition, the method to draw quantitative value in EUT immunity decision is suggested in accordance with the international standards and domestic trends.

Imaging studies play an important role in the detection, diagnosis, assessment of resectability, staging, and determination of patient-tailored treatment options for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Recently, for patients diagnosed with borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancers, it is recommended to consider curative-intent surgery following neoadjuvant or palliative therapy, if possible. This review covers how to interpret imaging tests and what to consider when assessing resectability, diagnosing distant metastasis, and re-assessing the resectability of pancreatic cancer after neoadjuvant or palliative therapy.

The clinical manifestation of pericardial disease is similar to that of coronary artery disease and aortic disease. Therefore, a timely and accurate diagnosis is necessary. The pericardium is a 2-layered membrane that envelops the heart and great vessels, and there are numerous anatomic variations and pathologic conditions. Large or unusually located pericardial recesses can be easily mistaken for abnormal findings. Additionally, primary pericardial diseases resulting from infections, tumors, and injuries are possible; further, diseases can quickly spread along the pericardium. Echocardiography is generally the first imaging tool used to evaluate the pericardium. However, it has limited windows and poor resolution. Besides, the evaluation of postoperative echocardiography is sometimes limited. Currently, CT and MR imaging are useful for evaluating pericardial diseases. Detailed knowledge of the pericardium is important for interpreting the images and clinical results.
