A capsule endoscopy is a medical device that can capture an entire digestive organ from the esophagus to the anus at one time. It produces a vast amount of images consisted of about 8~12 hours in length and more than 50,000 frames on a single examination. However, since the analysis of endoscopic images is performed manually by a medical imaging specialist, the automation requirements of the analysis are increasing to assist diagnosis of the disease in the image. Among them, this study focused on automatic detection of polyp images. A polyp is a protruding lesion that can be found in the gastrointestinal tract. In this paper, we propose a weighted-image generation method to enhance the polyp image learning by multi-scale analysis. It is a way to extract the suspicious region of the polyp through the multi-scale analysis and combine it with the original image to generate a weighted image, that can enhance the polyp image learning. We experimented with SVM and RF which is one of the machine learning methods for 452 pieces of collected data. The F1-score of detecting the polyp with only original images was 89.3%, but when combined with the weighted images generated by the proposed method, the F1-score was improved to about 93.1%.

In this paper, the artificial intelligence (AI) technology used in the medical image analysis field was analyzed through a literature review. Literature searches were conducted on PubMed, ResearchGate, Google and Cochrane Review using the key word. Through literature search, 114 abstracts were searched, and 98 abstracts were reviewed, excluding 16 duplicates. In the reviewed literature, AI is applied in classification, localization, disease detection, disease segmentation, and fit degree of registration images. In machine learning (ML), prior feature extraction and inputting the extracted feature values into the neural network have disappeared. Instead, it appears that the neural network is changing to a deep learning (DL) method with multiple hidden layers. The reason is thought to be that feature extraction is processed in the DL process due to the increase in the amount of memory of the computer, the improvement of the calculation speed, and the construction of big data. In order to apply the analysis of medical images using AI to medical care, the role of physicians is important. Physicians must be able to interpret and analyze the predictions of AI algorithms. Additional medical education and professional development for existing physicians is needed to understand AI. Also, it seems that a revised curriculum for learners in medical school is needed.

Volumetric display has many applications recently in education, 3D movie, medical images but these applications have several problems that need to be overcome. Volumetric display may process a amount of visual data and design the high efficient vision system for realtime display. The stereo data for volumetric display estimated the disparity vectors from the stereoscopic sequences has been transmitted the disparity vectors, motion vectors and residual images with the reference images, and the stereoscopic sequences have been reconstructed at the receiver for 3D display. Central issue for efficient 3D display lies in selecting an appropriate stereo matching with robust vision system. In this paper, high efficient vision system is proposed for efficient stereo image matching and the experimental results represent high efficiency for proposed 3D display system.

Image processing is being used in various forms in important fields of the 4th industrial revolution, such as artificial intelligence, smart factories, and the IoT industry. In particular, in systems that require data processing such as object tracking, medical images, and object recognition, noise removal is used as a preprocessing step, but the existing algorithm has a drawback in that blurring occurs in the filtering process. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a filter algorithm using switching fuzzy weights. The proposed algorithm switches the fuzzy function by dividing the low-frequency region and the high-frequency region by the standard deviation of the filtering mask, and obtains the final output according to the fuzzy weight. The proposed algorithm showed improved results compared to the existing method, and showed excellent characteristics in the region where the high-frequency component is strong.

In modern society, diseases are variously found. Also, disease can be fatal once starting attack or one misses the proper medical examination time. According to the development of society, our liver settled on exhausted status which causes high disease development ratio because of excess business, smoking and drinking. Especially liver related disease cannot be recovered, therefore it depends on internal organ transplant surgery. In this paper, calculate volume from rendered liver shape using 3-dimensional image processing method and we develop an image processing method for the image acquired by MDCT, that can simulate incision line decision according to blood vessel segmentation that can be used on liver transplant operation. Simulation results which adopt automatic liver segment abstraction algorithm show that it can help surgical operation.
