The image binarization is applied frequently as one part of the preprocessing phase for a variety of image processing techniques such as character recognition and image analysis, etc. The performance of binarization algorithms is determined by the selection of threshold value for binarization, and most of the previous binarization algorithms analyze the intensity distribution of the original images by using the histogram and determine the threshold value using the mean value of Intensity or the intensity value corresponding to the valley of the histogram. The previous algorithms could not get the proper threshold value in the case that doesn't show the bimodal characteristic in the intensity histogram or for the case that tries to separate the feature area from the original image. So, this paper proposed the novel algorithm for image binarization, which, first, segments the intensity range of grayscale images to several intervals and calculates mean value of intensity for each interval, and next, repeats the interval integration until getting the final threshold value. The interval integration of two neighborhood intervals calculates the ratio of the distances between mean value and adjacent boundary value of two intervals and determine as the threshold value of the new integrated interval the intensity value that divides the distance between mean values of two intervals according to the ratio. The experiment for performance evaluation of the proposed binarization algorithm showed that the proposed algorithm generates the more effective threshold value than the previous algorithms.

화자확인은 기본적으로 각 입력 음성에 대해 하나의 임계치를 기준으로 수락과 거부의 두 가지 결정을 내리나, 본 논문은 네 자리의 비밀번호를 음성으로 입력하였을 때 각 숫자음성에 대한 지역적인 결정을 두 개의 임계치를 이용하여 수락, 거부, 결정유보의 세 가지로 구분하고, 비밀번호 전체에 대한 판단 규칙을 제안하였다. 지역적 결정에 필요한 화자에 대한 신뢰척도의 측정치는 확률신경망을 통해 구하였다. 다섯 명의 화자를 대상으로 수행한 실험에서 하나의 임계치를 이용한 기존의 방식은 5.3%의 오류를 나타냈고, 본 논문에서 제안한 방식은 2.1%의 오류를 보였다.

A new approach for determining global threshold value for image binarization is proposed in this paper. In the proposed algorithm, bit-plane information which involve the shapes of original image is used for dividing image into two parts object and background, and then compared each average values. Optimal threshold value are selected in center of two averages. Proposed method is relatively simple but robust and achieved good results in continuous tone images and document image.

This paper proposes a multitoning method using threshold modulation of MJBNM(Modified Jointly Blue Noise Mask) for banding artifacts reduction. As banding artifacts in multitoning appear as uniform dot distributions around the intermediate output levels, such multitone output results in discontinuity and visually unpleasing patterns in smooth transition regions. Therefore, to reduce these banding artifacts, the proposed method rearranges the dot distribution by introducing pixels in the neighborhood of output levels that occurs banding artifacts. First of all principal cause of banding artifacts are analyzed using mathematical description. Based on this analytical result, a threshold modulation technique of MJBNM which takes account of chrominance error and correlation between channels is applied. The original threshold range of MJBNM is first scaled linearly sot that the minimum and maximum of the scaled range include two pixel more than adjacent two output levels that cover an input value. In an input value is inside the vicinity of any intermediate output levels produce banding artifacts, the output is set to one of neighboring output levels based on the pointwise comparison result according to threshold modulation parameter that determines the dot density and distribution. In this case, adjacent pixels are introduced at the position where the scaled threshold values are located between two output levels and the minimum and maximum threshold values. Otherwise, a conventional multitoning method is applied. As a result, the proposed method effectively decreased the appearance of banding artifacts around the intermediate output levels. To evaluate the quality of the multitone result, HVS-WRMSE according to gray level for gray ramp image and S-CIELAB color difference for color ramp image are compared with other methods.

CT영상으로 골조직이나 특정 기관의 3차원 모델을 재구성하는 연구는 큰 진전을 이루어 현재는 진료나 치료계획 수립에 없어서는 안될 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 그러나 기존의 방법으로는 교정이나 시술 시뮬레이션을 위해서는 치조골과 치아를 개별적으로 분리해서 모델링해야하는 치과분야의 요구를 만족시키는 데는 어려움이 있다. 치아와 치조골의 경계를 정확하게 분리하여 개별적으로 조작이 가능한 치아모델을 생성하기 위해서는 슬라스별로 두 영역을 분리할 수 있는 최적의 임계치가 결정되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 좁은 간격으로 촬영한 연속적인 CT영상 슬라이스들 사이에서 치아들의 형태와 임계값이 점진적으로 변하는 성질을 이용하여 각 슬라스별로 최적의 임계치를 결정하여 치아영역을 분리하는 적응적인 최적 임계화 방안을 제안한다.

초기충진압력이 서로 다른 시편에 가한 가압횟수와 열처리시간의 혼합공정이 임계전류밀도 특성에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 power-in-tube방법으로 초전도 선재를 제조하였다. 일정 초기충진압력에서 테이프화를 위한 열처리 및 가압이 혼합공정횟수가 증가할수록 임계전류밀도가 증가하였다. 초기충진압력이 1000kg/$cm^{2}$에서 Bi-2223 고온상 체적비가 가장 높게 나타났고 결정립이 판상으로 성장되었을 뿐만 아니라 C축과 직각방향으로 잘 배양되어 있음을 관찰할 수 있었다. 특히 초기충진압력 1000kg/$cm^{2}$의 시편을 두께를 줄이기 위하여 3회 가압하고 450시간 열처리하였을때 임계전류밀도가 5800A/$cm^{2}$를 나타내었으며 이를 중심으로 500, 2500kg/$cm^{2}$이 양측단으로 가우시안분포를 보였다. 결론적으로 시편의 임계특성은 적정 초기충진압력, Bi-2223 고온상 체적비, 테이프화를 위한 가압횟수, 결정의 일방향배열, 결정립의 성장등에 강하게 의존함을 알 수 있었다.

The critical bandwidth represents response interactions with respect to a signal tone and their neighboring bands. This study was to analyze the critical bandwidths of a clinically important 500 Hz tone in Korean young male and female subjects (male = 10, female = 10) at a conversational level (60 dB HL). Data were measured with notched band noise and two alternative forced choice methods. Results showed that the critical bandwidth was slightly greater (95 Hz) than the previous Western measures. There were no statistically significant differences in gender, nor were there any significant differences in lateralization of the ear (p > 0.05). These results may have implications in optimizing effective tinnitus masking or the related clinical applications.

We evaluated proanthocyanidin contents out of total polyphenolic compounds in two pine needle extracts prepared by combined extraction methods and compared their antioxidative activities. Amounts of total polyphenolic compounds of sub-supercritical hotwater precipitate (SSHP) and sub-supercritical hotwater supermatant (SSHS) were 225.4 and 116.6 mg/g, respectively. Amounts of proanthocyanidin of SSHP and SSHS were 9.9 and 3.6 mg/g, respectively. Thus, the ratio of proanthocyanidin contents over total polyphenolic compounds of SSHP and SSHS were 4.3 and 3.9%, respectively. Antioxidative activities ($IC_{50}$) of SSHP and SSHS measured by DPPH radical scavenging were 41.5 and $50.7\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. These results indicates that two combined extracts, SSHP and SSHS showed higher antioxidative activities than extract prepared by hot water or sub-supercritical. In conclusion, extraction procedures for SSHP and SSHS could be useful methods for preparing the effective components of functional food products.
