In this paper, we propose a method for generating a realistic object panorama by considering geometric transformations of camera views in a general photographing environment. In the proposed method, we first model a trumpet-shape panorama space based on geometric transformations of camera, such as vertical rotation and horizontal rotation movement around a target model. We then generate an object panorama by mapping model images to the trumpet-shape panorama space. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, experiments were conducted on a large size model, which is quite difficult for us to generate the object panorama without special equipments in general. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively generate an object panorama, which is usually generated in a special photographing environment, regardless of the size of target model.

대하천 사업 이후 국내에서 경험하지 못한 대규모 다기능 보가 설치되었으며, 이로 인해 기존 하천에 서식하던 어류들의 군집, 이동 및 환경의 변화가 발생할 수 있으며, 산란을 위해 상류로 이동하거나 하류로 이동하려는 어류들에게는 상당히 큰 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 최소화하기 위해 다기능 보에는 대규모 어도가 설치되었으며, 다양한 흐름해석 모형을 이용하여 어도의 유인효율평가에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있으나 이를 검증할 수 있는 실험적 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 어도의 유인효율평가에 있어 어도입구부 유속장 측정이 중요하다. 하지만 어도 입구부에 대한 접근성은 용이하지 못 할 뿐만 아니라, 기존에 사용하던 ADCP 장비로는 유속장 측정에 한계가 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해 드론영상을 활용한 LS-PIV기법과 GPS전자부자를 활용할 필요가 있다고 판단하였고, GPS전자부자를 어도 입구부에서 일정시간 유하시키는 동시에 드론영상촬영을 활용해 LS-PIV기법을 적용하여 유속을 측정하였다. 그 결과 LS-PIV기법을 적용한 실험이 주 흐름영역에서 안정적인 결과를 보였다. 본 실험 결과를 통해 새로운 유속 계측 방안을 보여줌으로써 접근성 및 안전성에 대한 효율적인 실험계측 방법을 제시하리라 사료된다.

LED lighting, which many companies are pursuing commercialization, is a representative green energy technology. However, the LED lighting for broadcasting image should have high output and easy portability compared with general LED lighting devices for street lamps, advertisement or transportation devices. Therefore, while shooting a broadcast image if you use LEDs as a substitute light source for halogen lamps and fluorescent lamps that are large in size and uncomfortable to handle it is expected that the lightening of the equipment will activate the broadcasting image lighting equipment industry. After considering the mass production of the LED module board and the SMT production size of the chip mounter, the board size was determined considering the overall size of the product by model. In this paper, four 20W LED boards are arranged vertically in order to produce an 80W board. In other words, by sharing LED module board size by model, high power LED lighting equipments of 120W and 200W can be selected as an increase in the number of boards.

The increased availability of portable, low-cost, high resolution video equipments have resulted in a rapid growth of the applications for video sequences. These video devices can be mounted in handhold unit, mobile unit and airborne platforms like maned or unmaned helicopter, plane, airship, etc. This paper describes the feasibility fur generating image map from the experimental results we designed to track the interested points extracted by KLT operator in the neighboring frames and implement image matching for each frames taken from UAV (Unmaned Aerial Vehicle). In the image registration for neighbourhood frames of aerial video, the results demonstrate the successful rate of matching slightly decreases as the drift between frames increases, and also that the stable photographing is more important matching condition than the pixel shift.

하천에서 신뢰성 있는 유속 및 유량의 측정 자료는 수자원의 효율적인 계획과 관리를 위한 가장 기본적인 사항이다. 유속 및 유량을 측정하기 위해 지금까지는 주로 프로펠러 유속계나 초음파유속계 또는 봉부자 등을 활용해왔으며, 홍수 시에는 봉부자에 의존하고 있다. 봉부자를 이용한 유속 측정은 측정 환경이나 측정자에 따라 정확도 차이가 난다는 한계점이 있다. 뿐만 아니라 실제로 홍수가 발생했을 때는 유량이 매우 크기 때문에 교량으로 접근이 어렵고 현장으로의 접근자체가 제한될 수 있다. 위와 같은 문제들을 해결하기 위한 대안으로 비접촉식 유속 측정방법인 표면영상유속계(LSPIV, Large Scale Particla Image Velocimetry)가 있다. 표면영상유속계는 수면을 촬영한 영상을 분석하여 표면 유속을 측정하는 기법으로, 영상 촬영 장비와 분석 소프트웨어만 있으면 유속을 측정할 수 있다. 유속 및 유량 측정 결과를 보고할 때는 그 결과를 사용하는 사람이 얼마나 믿고 사용해도 좋은가에 관한 신뢰성을 판단할 수 있도록 신뢰도를 나타내는 어떤 정량적인 값인 불확도를 유량 측정 결과와 함께 제시하여야 한다. 표면영상유속계는 매우 간편하고 신속하게 하천의 유속장을 측정하는 기법이지만 측정 불확도 산정에 대한 연구가 미흡하여 정확한 측정 불확도를 제시할 수 없는 실정이다. 표면영상유속계의 불확도 인자는 바람의 영향, 입자 밀도/크기, 촬영시간 간격, 상관영역의 크기, 전단흐름/회전흐름, 참조점 측량/식별, 이동거리 산정 등이 있다. 표면영상유속계의 측정불확도를 제시하기 위해서는 각 불확도 인자에 대한 불확도를 제시하여야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Matlab을 이용하여 표면영상유속계의 불확도 요인 중 영상에서 참조점식별 시 발생하는 불확도를 분석하고자 한다.

표면영상유속측정법은 영상을 이용한 비접촉식 유속 측정 방법으로 카메라 외에 별도로 고가의 장비를 구매할 필요가 없을 뿐 아니라 현장 상황을 영상으로 확인할 수 있기 때문에 현장조사인력이 필요 없어 경제적이고, 안전하다는 장점을 갖고 있는 하천 유속 측정 방법이다. 표면영상유속측정법은 일반적으로 상호상관법을 이용하여 수표면을 촬영한 연속된 두 영상에서 입자군의 명암값 분포를 계산하여 입자군의 변위를 계산하고 이를 두 영상 사이의 시간 간격으로 나누어 입자군의 이동 속도를 산정하는 방법이다. 따라서 표면영상유속측정법으로 산정한 유속의 정확도를 높이기 위해서는 영상 내 두 입자군의 변위를 정확하게 계산하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 즉, 분석하고자 하는 영상의 물리거리를 정확하게 계산할 수 있어야 한다. 카메라를 이용하여 실제 하천 영상을 촬영한 영상은 카메라 렌즈에 의한 왜곡이 필연적으로 발생하게 되고 이는 영상 내의 변위 산정 시에도 영향을 미친다. 특히 드론을 활용하여 넓은 하천 영역을 촬영할 경우 카메라 렌즈에 의한 왜곡은 실제 물리 변위 계산 정확도에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 카메라 왜곡이 영상 내 변위 산정 결과의 정확도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구 결과 카메라 렌즈 왜곡은 영상 중심에서 방사방향으로 점점 크게 발생하고 왜곡 정도는 비선형적으로 나타났으며, 변위 측정 오차는 영상의 중앙부에서는 거의 차이가 없었으며, 영상 외곽부에서 최대 오차가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 카메라 렌즈 왜곡 보정을 실시하게 되면 영상 전체적으로 변위측정 오차는 모두 제거할 수 있는 것으로 확인하였다. 따라서 카메라 렌즈 왜곡 보정을 실시하여 표면영상유속 측정 결과의 정확도를 개선할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 카메라 렌즈 왜곡 보정을 실시한다면 하천의 표면유속을 보다 정확하게 측정할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Purpose: CT scan shows that significant tumor movement occurs in lesions located in the proximity of the heart, diaphragm, and lung hilus. There are differences concerning three kinds of type to get images following the Scan type called Axial, Helical, Cine (4D-CT) mode, when the scanning by CT. To know how each protocol describe accurately, this paper is going to give you reappearance using the moving phantom. Materials and Methods: To reconstruct the movement of superior-inferior and anterior-posterior, the manufactured moving phantom and the motor following breathing were used. To distinguish movement from captured images by CT scanning, a localizer adhered to the marker on the motor. The moving phantom fixed the movement of superior-inferior upon 1.3 cm /1 min. The motor following breathing fixed the movement of anterior-posterior upon 0.2 cm /1 min. After fixing each movement, CT scanning was taken by following the CT protocols. The movement of A localizer and volume-reappearance analyzed by RTP machine. Results: Total volume of a marker was 88.2 $cm^3$ considering movement of superior-inferior. Total volume was 184.3 $cm^3$. Total volume according to each CT scan protocol were 135 $cm^3$ by axial mode, 164.9 $cm^3$ by helical mode, 181.7 $cm^3$ by cine (4D-CT) mode. The most closely describable protocol about moving reappearance was cine mode, the marker attached localizer as well. Conclusion: CT scan should reappear concerning a exact organ-description and target, when the moving organ is being scanned by three kinds of CT protocols. The cine (4D-CT) mode has the advantage of the most highly reconstructible ability of the three protocols in reappearance of the marker using a moving phantom. The marker on the phantom has always regular motion but breathing patients don't move like a phantom. Breathing education and devices setting patients were needed so that images reconstruct breathing as exactly as possible. Users should also consider that an amount of radiation to patients is being bombed.

The physical and chemical properties of radioactive waste drums, which have been temporarily stored on site, should be characterized before their shipment to a disposal facility in order to prove that the properties meet the acceptance guideline. The investigation of NDT(Nondestructive Test) method was figured out that the contents in drum, the quantitative analysis of free standing water and void fraction can be examined with X-ray NDT techniques. This paper describes the characteristics of X-ray NDT such as its principles, the considerations for selection of X-ray system, etc. And then, the waste drum characteristics such as drum type and dimension, contents in drum, etc. were examined, which are necessary to estimate the optimal X-ray energy for NDT of a drum. The estimation results were that: $(R)\acute{A}$ the proper X-ray energy is under 3 MeV to test the drums of 320 ${\beta}\S$ and less; $(R)\ddot{E}$ both X-ray systems of 450 keV and/or 3 MeV might be needed considering the economical efficiency and the realization. The number of drums that can be tested with 450 keV and 3 MeV X-ray system was figured out as 42,327 and 18,105 drums (based on storage of 2006. 12), respectively. Four testing scenarios were derived considering equipment procurement method, outsourcing or not, etc. The economical and feasibility assessment for the scenarios was resulted in that an optimal scenario is dependent on the acceptance guide line, the waste generator's policy on the waste treatment and the delivery to a disposal facility, etc. For example, it might be desirable that a waste generator purchases two 450 keV mobile system to examine the drums containing low density waste, and that outsourcing examination for the high density drums, if all NDT items such as quantitative analysis for 'free standing water' and 'void fraction', and confirmation of contents in drum have to be characterized. However, one 450 keV mobile system seems to be required to test only the contents in 13,000 drums per year.

Purpose: The whole body scan in Nuclear Medicine is a widely accepted examination and procedure. Especially, it is mainly used in bone, I-131, MIBI, and HMPAO WBC scans. The diverse uses of the whole body scan range from the HMPAO WBC scan with a speed of 13cm/min, to a whole body bone scan using the Onco. Flash technique with a speed of 30cm/min. The accuracy of table movement has a strong correlation with the image quality, and inaccuracy of speed could negatively affect the image quality. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the table movement while considering the influence of the age of the equipment and the variability in the weight of the patients. Material and Methods: The study was conducted using two of Seoul Asan Medical Center's SIEMENS gamma cameras which are commonly used in our whole body study. The first one is the oldest gamma camera, an ECAM plus (installed in 2000), and the last is brand new one, a SYMBIA T2 (installed in 2008). Three trials were conducted with the tables moving at a different speed each time; 10, 15 and 30 cm/min. The tables' speeds were measured by checking how long it took for the table to move 10cm, and this was repeated every 10cm until the table reached 100 cm. With an average body weight of the patients of about 60~70 kg, the table speed was measured with weights of 0 kg, 66 kg and 110 kg placed on the table, then compared among conditions. Results: The coefficient of variance (CV) of the ECAM plus showed 1.23, 1.42, 2.02 respectively when the table movement speeds were set at 10, 15, and 30 centimeters per minute. Under the same conditions, the SYMBIA T2 showed 1.23, 1.83 and 2.28 respectively. As table movement speed more, the variance of CV as the speed increases. When the patient body weight was set to 0, 66 and 110kg, the CV values of both cameras showed 0.96, 1.45, 2.08 (0 Kg), 1.32, 1.72, 2.27 (66 Kg) and 1.37, 1.73, 2.14 (110 Kg). There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in 95 percent of confidence intervals and measured CV values were acceptable. However, the CV value of the SYMBIA T2 was relatively larger than the ECAM plus. Conclusion: The scan speed of the whole body scan is predetermined based on which examination is being performed. It is possible for the accuracy of the speed to be affected, such as the age of the equipment, the state of the bearings or the weight of a patient. These factors can have a negative impact on the diagnostic consistency and the image quality. Therefore, periodic quality control should be needed on the gamma cameras currently being used, focusing on the table movement speed in order to maintain accuracy and reproducibility.

With the development of medical technology and radiation treatment equipment, the frequency of high-precision radiation therapy such as intensity modulation radiation therapy has increased. Image-guided radiation therapy has become essential for radiation therapy in precise and complex treatment plans. In particular, with the introduction of imaging equipment for diagnosis in a linear accelerator, CBCT scanning became possible, which made it possible to calibrate and correct the patient's posture through 3D images. Although more precise reproduction of the patient's posture has become possible, the exposure dose delivered to the patient during the image acquisition process cannot be ignored. Radiation optimization is necessary in the field of radiation therapy, and efforts to reduce exposure are necessary. However, when acquiring 3D CBCT images by changing the imaging conditions to reduce exposure, there should be no image quality or artefacts that would make it impossible to align the patient's position. In this study, Rando phantom was used to scan and evaluate images for each shooting condition. The highest SNR was obtained at 100 kV 80 mA 25 ms F1 filter 180°. As the tube voltage and tube current increased, the noise decreased, and the bowtie filter showed the optimal effect at high tube current. Based on the actual scanned images, it was confirmed that patient alignment was possible under all imaging conditions, and that image-guided radiation therapy for patient alignment was possible under the condition of 70 kV 10 mA 20 ms F0 filter 180°, which showed the lowest SNR. In this study, image evaluation was conducted according to the imaging conditions, and low tube voltage, tube current, and small rotation angle scan are expected to be effective in reducing radiation exposure. Based on this, the patient's exposure dose should be kept as low as possible during CBCT imaging.
