Quality and resolution of camera in mobile device is improved significantly. In this paper, we propose block-based information hide techniques without image distortion for mobile device to solve image degradation in conventional watermarking methods. Information of image is composed with text such as camera maker, model, date, time, etc. Each text is converted to $8{\times}8$ pixel blocks and is added to the bottom of image. Generally image including block based information for image authentication are compressed using JPEG in mobile device. The vertical line value in JPEG header is modified by original size of image sensor. This technique can hide the block based authentication information using general decoder. In the experimental results, JPEG file size is slightly increased within 0.1% for the proposed block based authentication information encoding. Finally proposed methods can be adopted for various embedded systems using medical image, smart phone and DSLR camera.

A small PACS based on PC is designed for CR. To receive the digital image from CR, a DICOM Interface Unit (DIU) is designed that complied with the medical image standard, DICOM V3.0. The CR images acquired through the DIU are stored in a file-server; the patient information of the images is stored in a database. To improve the performance of PC and to use it easily, multiresolution images are constructed by wavelet transform and displayed progressively. Wavelet compression method is newly adopted to store the images hierarchically to storage units. In this compression method, the image is decomposed into subclasses of image by wavelet transform, and then the subclasses of the image are vector quantized using a multiresolution codebook. The storage units for CR images were divided into the short-term storage in file-server and the harddisk in viewing station. Image processing tools supported by general PACS is implemented based on PC.

2차원 의료 영상으로부터 3차원 모델을 재구성 하면 여러 의학 분야에 효과적으로 활용할 수 있다. 컬러 영상이나 MRI의 영상은 표면을 자동으로 식별하기 어렵기 때문에 구역화한 결과로 나오는 외곽선으로부터 표면을 재구성해야한다. 표면 재구성을 위한 기존의 삼각형화 알고리즘은 모델이 복잡할 경우 수행속도가 저하되는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 정합되는 부분과 나머지 부분을 따로 처리하는 기존 방법 대신에, 알맞은 위치에 연결간선들만 결정하여 연결한 후, 그 사이의 정점들을 연결하는 간단한 삼각형화 알고리즘으로 속도를 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다.

The general medical information service in hospital recently has been turned into ubiquitous environment. A key requirement in ubiquitous environment is the ability for communication between image viewer realized by DICOM standard and a server supporting medical information to make it possible. In order to apply the proposed scheme, we first realized the server/client networking in mobile terminal environment. Second, we realized DICOM viewer using a PDA to be capable of wireless communication in ubiquitous environment. Third, MIPS(Medical Information Processing System) utilized RFID system to apply the patient's information efficiently. In particular, it showed the capability to communicate image based system unlike previous text based communication.

Since the performance of deep learning techniques has recently been proven in the field of image processing, there are many attempts to perform classification, analysis, and detection of images using such techniques in various fields. Among them, the expectation of medical image analysis software, which can serve as a medical diagnostic assistant, is increasing. In this study, we are attention to the capsule endoscope image, which has a large data set and takes a long time to judge. The purpose of this paper is to distinguish the gastrointestinal landmarks and to estimate the gastrointestinal transition location that are common to all patients in the judging of capsule endoscopy and take a lot of time. To do this, we designed CNN-based Classifier that can identify gastrointestinal landmarks, and used it to estimate the gastrointestinal transition location by filtering the results. Then, we estimate gastrointestinal transition location about seven of eight patients entered the suspected gastrointestinal transition area. In the case of change from the stomach to the small intestine(pylorus), and change from the small intestine to the large intestine(ileocecal valve), we can check all eight patients were found to be in the suspected gastrointestinal transition area. we can found suspected gastrointestinal transition area in the range of 100 frames, and if the reader plays images at 10 frames per second, the gastrointestinal transition could be found in 10 seconds.

3 차원 객체 검색 및 자세 추정 기법은 의료, 보안 등의 다양한 산업 영역에서 매우 중요한 이슈 중 하나로써 연구되고 있다. 정확한 객체 검색 및 자세 추정을 위해서는 객체의 가능한 모든 영상 정보를 사용하여야 하기 때문에 많은 연산시간이 걸리게 되고, 특히 객체의 정확한 자세를 추정하기 위해서는 높은 CPU 의 성능과 큰 메모리 공간을 필요로 한다. 이러한 제약으로 인해, 3 차원 객체 검색 및 자세 추정은 상대적으로 하드웨어의 성능이 낮은 모바일 장치에서 실행되기 어려웠다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 모바일 장치에서도 효과적으로 객체 검색 및 자세 추정이 가능하도록 하기 위한 클라이언트-서버 환경에서의 객체의 외형 기반 인덱스 구축 및 검색 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법의 주요 특징은 i) 모바일 장치의 하드웨어 환경을 고려하여 비교적 적은 수의 객체의 영상을 바탕으로 한 객체 검색 및 후보 자세 예측과 ii) 모바일 장치에서의 검색 결과와 많은 수의 객체 영상을 기반으로 한 서버에서의 정확한 자세 추정이다. 실험 결과에서는 제안된 기법들을 통해, 빠른 시간 내에 정확한 객체 검색 및 자세 추정이 가능함을 보였다.

In modern society, artificial intelligence and automation are being applied in various fields due to the development of the 4th industrial revolution and IoT technology. In particular, systems with a high proportion of image processing, such as automated processes, intelligent CCTV, medical industry, robots, and drones, are susceptible to external factors noise. In this paper, we propose a digital filter based on noise estimation and weights to reconstruct an image in a complex noise environment. The proposed algorithm classifies the types of noise using noise judgment, and determines the noise level of the filtering mask to switch the filtering process to obtain the final output. In order to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, simulation was conducted, compared with the existing filter algorithm, and the results were analyzed.

In order to minimize the radiation exposure dose of the thyroid site at dental cone-beam computer tomography, a protector using a Bolus was prepared, and the radiation shielding effect and the appropriateness of the image were evaluated. Using a dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), a glass dosimeter was attached to the left and right sides of the thyroid for a dental radiation phantom, and the radiation dose was measured. The absorbed dose for each shield was measured by another method to 10 mm, 20 mm, and 30 mm-thickness, respectively. Eight evaluators evaluated whether or not the medical image is appropriate. When using a 30 mm Bolus shield at the left thyroid site, the resulting value is reduced by an average of $342.67{\mu}Gy$ by 20.7% from the average value of $431.22{\mu}Gy$ measured without using a Bolus shield, the right thyroid site In the case of using 30 mm Bolus shield, it showed a dose reduction effect of 21.9% with an average of $424.56{\mu}Gy$. The adequacy of the medical image was judged to be usable by both evaluators. In conclusion, the dental cone-beam computerized tomography can be used as a useful shielding material because it has a radiation shielding effect and it is possible to treat the diagnosis of the bolus protector in the thyroid without any obstruction shade in order to minimize the radiation dose.

Hospitals today use independent systems for each department and job such as Hospital Information Sytem(HIS), Picture Archiving Communications System(PACS), Ordering Communication System(OCS), Electronic Medical Record(EMR), Enterprise Resource Planning(ERP), etc and each system employs its own DB. So, it is impossible to integrate information within the institution and difficult to keep transparency and consistency of data. I in this study offered a data integration environment through flexible management linked with other systems, and by doing that, designed a medical CRM frame which offers the optimum service the customer wants at the optimum time. I designed 4 of medical CRM frame: customer relationship management, public relations/marketing, service management, and statistics/analysis by the customer relationship management process standardization and aimed to offer tailored mobile contents according to customer's characters and health situation on the basis of customer's data by securing mobile medical contents for personalized medical information service.

The modern society is advancing from the analog era to the digital imaging era, and in line with the trend of this era, various imaging devices such as exploration robots, medical equipment, and CCTV are helping our daily life a lot. However, noises caused by various causes in digital images not only cause image deterioration, but also deteriorate and deteriorate image quality. A typical noise is AWGN, and types of filters to remove it include an average filter, a median filter, and an alpha-trimmed average filter, but these filters have a disadvantage in that they show somewhat inadequate noise reduction performance in the high frequency region. Therefore, in this paper, a modified spatial division average filter based on standard deviation is proposed to effectively reduce AWGN existing in the high frequency region of the image.
