최근 다양한 분야(건축, 디자인, 영화관)에서 활용되는 디스플레이 기술들은 대체로 평면에 투영하는 프로젝션 기술을 사용하고 있다. 예외적으로 평면이 아닌 곡면에 투영하는 경우도 있었으나, 기술적인 제약으로 왜곡된 영상을 보정하여 사용하는 경우는 드문 상태이다. 그리고 상호작용의 경우는 기계적 장치에 의존한 초보적 형태가 주류를 이루고 있다. 본 논문에서는 프로젝션 기술 중에서 원통형 곡면상으로의 투영 기법과 모션인식을 반영한 상호작용 기법에 대해서 논하고자 한다. 3D 영상을 곡면에 왜곡 없이 투영하기 위하여, 본 논문에서는 '2-pass 렌더링' 기법을 이용하였다. 이 기법에서는 현재 렌더링 된 영상을 텍스쳐로 저장한 다음 원통형 물체에 매핑시켜 곡면에 적합한 영상으로 보정한다. 그리고 기계적 장치에 의존하지 않는 상호작용을 위해, 카메라를 통하여 실시간으로 사용자 정보(위치, 방향 값)를 입력 받아 원통형 스크린과 매칭되는 좌표 값을 계산한다. 위와 같은 기법들을 구현하기 위한 실험으로 미디어 아트 작품을 제작하였으며, 투영과 상호작용에 관한 알고리즘을 작품에 적용하였다. 이 작품은 하나의 프로젝터를 사용하여 1/4 원통형 곡면으로의 투영과 상호작용을 수행하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 미디어 아트 작품의 프로젝션 모듈로 사용 될 수 있으며, 공연장 건축, 실내디자인, 체감형 인터랙티브 게임, 가상현실 영화관 등 다양한 분야에 적용 될 수 있다.

The transverse cylindrical projection has been used in Korea since 1910s when the nationwide geodetic network was firstly established. However, the projection has a number of different types of functions according to a way of its mathematical derivation as well as a section of its coefficients and terms, for instance Gauss- Schreiber(GS) and Gauss-Kruger(GK) types. Although the transverse cylindrical projection itself is assigned to a system, projected coordinates would be diverse with respect to the function used in the actual calculation. In order to investigate impact of functions used in the computation, five different equations (i.e., 2 GS and 3 GK) were implemented in this study by using MATLAB. A series of numerical simulation tests has been carried out to compare and characterize them in terms of projection accuracy, difference of projected coordinates and distortion. Furthermore, a comparison between GS and GK function was made under the Korean gridding system, consisting of four zones. Results from the numerical computations were qualitatively analyzed and summarized in this paper.

Having a wide angle of view, a fisheye lens is useful for obtaining images of the inside wall of a tunnel. A circular fisheye tunnel image can be transformed into a familiar rectangular image by applying the concept of cylindrical projection. This projection transformation causes several types of distortions in the projected image. This paper discusses the distortion on the boundary lines between smoothly curved wall and flat ground. We analyzed the cause of this boundary distortion, developed transformation model, and derived a correction formular. A distortion correction software programmed in Visual C++ applied to projected image. Consequently, boundary-corrected image could be obtained. Research into other distortions of projected image will helpful in obtaining tunnel image that resembles real tunnel from fisheye tunnel image.

The reduction of radiation dose from x-ray is a main concern in computed tomography (CT) imaging due to the side-effect of the dose on human body. Recently, the various methods for dose reduction have been studied in CT and one of the method is a iterative reconstruction based on total variation (TV) minimization at few-views data. In this paper, we evaluated the image quality between total variation (TV) minimization algorithm and Feldkam-Davis-kress (FDK) algorithm in micro computed tomography (CT). To evaluate the effect of TV minimization algorithm, we produced a cylindrical phantom including contrast media, water, air inserts. We can acquire maximum 400 projection views per rotation of the x-ray tube and detector. 20, 50, 90, 180 projection data were chosen for evaluating the level of image restoration by TV minimization. The phantom and mouse image reconstructed with FDK algorithm at 400 projection data used as a reference image for comparing with TV minimization and FDK algorithm at few-views. Contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), Universal quality index (UQI) were used as a image evaluation metric. When projection data are not insufficient, our results show that the image quality of reconstructed with TV minimization is similar to reconstructed image with FDK at 400 view. In the cylindrical phantom study, the CNR of TV image was 5.86, FDK image was 5.65 and FDK-reference was 5.98 at 90-views. The CNR of TV image 0.21 higher than FDK image CNR at 90-views. UQI of TV image was 0.99 and FDK image was 0.81 at 90-views. where, the number of projection is 90, the UQI of TV image 0.18 higher than FDK image at 90-views. In the mouse study UQI of TV image was 0.91, FDK was 0.83 at 90-views. the UQI of TV image 0.08 higher than FDK image at 90-views. In cylindrical phantom image and mouse image study, TV minimization algorithm shows the best performance in artifact reduction and preserving edges at few view data. Therefore, TV minimization can potentially be expected to reduce patient dose in clinics.

본 논문에서는 사용자의 정면, 측면 영상을 이용하여 3차원 얼굴 모델에 적합한 텍스쳐 맵을 생성, 이를 이용하여 3차원 얼굴 모델을 생성하는 방법을 제안한다. 기존 3차원 얼굴 모델은 매핑 할 텍스쳐 영상들을 하나로 통합하여 이를 원통형 좌표계를 통해 텍스쳐링 하는 방법이 이용되고 있다. 이때 정면과 측면의 영상을 3차원 얼굴 모델의 중심축을 기준으로 계산하여 좌표에 맞게 투영시키고 통합 및 보간하여 텍스쳐링 하게 된다. 사용자는 이를 위하여 정면과 측면 영상을 원통형 좌표에 맞게 통합시키는 작업이 필요하다. 본 논문은 사용자에게 수반되는 이러한 작업을 줄이고 발생될 수 있는 텍스쳐의 왜곡을 최소화하기 위한 방법을 제시한다. 2차원 정면 측면 이미지를 3차원 얼굴모델에 투영시키고 정면과 측면을 구분하여 각 텍스쳐 간 경계 부분을 자연스럽게 처리하기 위해 파노라마 이미지 스티칭 기술을 이용하여 텍스쳐링 한 뒤 얼굴 모델을 생성하는 방법에 대해서 기술한다.

Integrating 3D data acquired in multiple views is one of the most important techniques in 3D modeling. However, due to the presence of surface scanning noise and the modification of vertices consisting of surface, the existing integration methods are inadequate to some applications. In this paper, we propose a method of integrating surfaces by using the local surface topology. We first find all boundary vertex pairs satisfying a prescribed geometric condition on adjacent surfaces and then compute 2D planes suitable to each vertex pairs. Using each vertex pair and neighbouring boundary vertices projected to their 2d plane, we produce polygons and divide them to the triangles which will be inserted to empty space between the adjacent surfaces. A proposed method use local surface topology and not modify the vertices consisting of surface to integrate several of surfaces to one surface, so that it is robust and simple. We also integrate the transformed textures to a 2D image plane computed by using a cylindrical projection to composite 3D textured model. The textures will be integrated according to the partition lines which considering attribute of face object. Experimental results on real object data show that the suggested method is simple and robust.

Non-planar screens such as cylinder and sphere shaped screens are widely used for high-resolution immersive visualization environments. An existing method employs quadric matrix that maps an image onto a curved screen. However if the shape of the screen changes or moves, the quadric matrix will not be valid. In this paper, we assume that the screen is a quadric shape and the screen movement or change are relatively small. Then we propose to use a piecewise planar approximations for the screen to compensate for the geometric distortion on a non-planar screen. We demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method through experiments.

The minimum weight design for the simply supported orthogonally stiffened cylindrical shell subjected to axial compression is studied by a mathematical programming. A smeared-out method is used for the computation of buckling load in the optimization process and optimization is accomplished by a gradient projection method. Maximum eight design variables and twenty-one inequality constraints considering the buckling, stress and geometric restraints are used. The three stringer types are considered as the optimization models : (1) rectangular stringer (2) I-stringer (3) T-stringer. Two design examples are compared with those in the other studies and the results demonstrate the validity of the present study. From the calculation the design with T-stringer can be more efficient than the one with rectangular or I-stringer.

Purpose SPECT/CT was noted for its excellent correction method and qualitative functions based on fusion images in the early stages of dissemination, and interest in and utilization of quantitative functions has been increasing with the recent introduction of companion diagnostic therapy(Theranostics). Unlike PET/CT, various conditions like the type of collimator and detector rotation are a challenging factor for image acquisition and reconstruction methods at absolute quantification of SPECT/CT. Therefore, in this study, We want to find out the effect on the radioactivity concentration estimate by the increase or decrease of the total acquisition time according to the number of projections and the acquisition time per projection among SPECT/CT imaging conditions. Materials and Methods After filling the 9,293 ml cylindrical phantom with sterile water and diluting 99mTc 91.76 MBq, the standard image was taken with a total acquisition time of 600 sec (10 sec/frame × 120 frames, matrix size 128 × 128) and also volume sensitivity and the calibration factor was verified. Based on the standard image, the comparative images were obtained by increasing or decreasing the total acquisition time. namely 60 (-90%), 150 (-75%), 300 (-50%), 450 (-25%), 900 (+50%), and 1200 (+100%) sec. For each image detail, the acquisition time(sec/frame) per projection was set to 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 15.0 and 20.0 sec (fixed number of projections: 120 frame) and the number of projection images was set to 12, 30, 60, 90, 180 and 240 frames(fixed time per projection:10 sec). Based on the coefficients measured through the volume of interest in each acquired image, the percentage of variation about the contrast to noise ratio (CNR) was determined as a qualitative assessment, and the quantitative assessment was conducted through the percentage of variation of the radioactivity concentration estimate. At this time, the relationship between the radioactivity concentration estimate (cps/ml) and the actual radioactivity concentration (Bq/ml) was compared and analyzed using the recovery coefficient (RC_Recovery Coefficients) as an indicator. Results The results [CNR, radioactivity Concentration, RC] by the change in the number of projections for each increase or decrease rate (-90%, -75%, -50%, -25%, +50%, +100%) of total acquisition time are as follows. [-89.5%, +3.90%, 1.04] at -90%, [-77.9%, +2.71%, 1.03] at -75%, [-55.6%, +1.85%, 1.02] at -50%, [-33.6%, +1.37%, 1.01] at -25%, [-33.7%, +0.71%, 1.01] at +50%, [+93.2%, +0.32%, 1.00] at +100%. and also The results [CNR, radioactivity Concentration, RC] by the acquisition time change for each increase or decrease rate (-90%, -75%, -50%, -25%, +50%, +100%) of total acquisition time are as follows. [-89.3%, -3.55%, 0.96] at - 90%, [-73.4%, -0.17%, 1.00] at -75%, [-49.6%, -0.34%, 1.00] at -50%, [-24.9%, 0.03%, 1.00] at -25%, [+49.3%, -0.04%, 1.00] at +50%, [+99.0%, +0.11%, 1.00] at +100%. Conclusion In SPECT/CT, the total coefficient obtained according to the increase or decrease of the total acquisition time and the resulting image quality (CNR) showed a pattern that changed proportionally. On the other hand, quantitative evaluations through absolute quantification showed a change of less than 5% (-3.55 to +3.90%) under all experimental conditions, maintaining quantitative accuracy (RC 0.96 to 1.04). Considering the reduction of the total acquisition time rather than the increasing of the image acquiring time, The reduction in total acquisition time is applicable to quantitative analysis without significant loss and is judged to be clinically effective. This study shows that when increasing or decreasing of total acquisition time, changes in acquisition time per projection have fewer fluctuations that occur in qualitative and quantitative condition changes than the change in the number of projections under the same scanning time conditions.

This study aims at providing a set of viable answers regarding the projection and cartographic scale of Daedongyeojido through a GIS-based planimetric accuracy analysis. Both global and local analyses were undertaken in the use of an analytical tool, MapAnalyst. The main results from the global analysis are threefold. First, the overall cartographic scale turned out to be between 1:158,000 and 1:162,000. Second, the rotation angles were between $2^{\circ}$ and $3^{\circ}$, and the equidistant cylindrical projection reported the smallest value. Third, in terms of position accuracy, the conformal cylindrical projection showed a best fit to the map. A local analysis was undertaken for the conformal cylindrical and equidistant azimuthal projections and its main results are threefold. First, the largest distortions in terms of the displacement vectors and distortion grid were found in the northern borderlands. Second, from the isoline maps of scales, it was acknowledged that local scales between 1:170,000 and 1:175,000 were found around the middle part of the Korean peninsula centered on Seoul. As away from the region to the north-south direction, increasingly larger scales were distributed, while the smallest ones were found in the western and eastern edges of the peninsula. Third, from the isoline maps of rotation, it was known that areas west of a northernmost city (Junggangjin) were substantially rotated to the west, while ones east of it to the east. For a more sophisticated analysis, some need to be done to have a larger set of control points, a better way of postulating the map projection, and a more advanced set of techniques for a local analysis.
