We came to the following conclusion as the results of experiment on the image quality of mammography and the average glandular dose using 4 apparatuses at 3 hospitals in Seoul. 1. Whereas the measurement of half value layer showed no differences among the apparatuses, the measurement by an attenuation curve method showed some differences by 5.9%. There were 9.1% differences in the measurement by aluminum conversion method. 2. The basic density of an automatic exposure control unit must be D = 1.40, but there was no automatic exposure unit adjusted precisely at any hospitals. The unit at the B hospital exceeded the allowable limit by ${\pm}0.15$. 3. In the photographing using an automatic exposure control unit and the management of an automatic film processor using a sensitometer, most automatic film processors were well kept. But in some cases the mean value of a fluctuation coefficient exceeded the allowable limit. There is a need for more cautious management. 4. The image quality of breast phantom photography was affected by the screen/film system among the hospitals. 5. The average glandular dose at a breast of 4.2 cm thickness depended on the tube voltage, In the case of Mo/Mo, it was measured $0.26{\sim}1.39\;mGy$ less than ACR standard 3.0 mGy.

Camera calibration is the process of determining the parameters such as the focal length of a camera, the position of a principal point, and lens distortions. For this purpose, images of checkerboard have been mainly used. When targets were automatically recognized in checkerboard image, the existing studies had limitations in that the user should have a good understanding of the input parameters for recognizing the target or that all checkerboard should appear in the image. In this study, a methodology for automatic target recognition was proposed. In this method, even if only a part of the checkerboard image was captured using rectangles including eight blobs, four each at the central portion and the outer portion of the checkerboard, the index of the target can be automatically assigned. In addition, there is no need for input parameters. In this study, three conditions were used to automatically extract the center point of the checkerboard target: the distortion of black and white pattern, the frequency of edge change, and the ratio of black and white pixels. Also, the direction and numbering of the checkerboard targets were made with blobs. Through experiments on two types of checkerboards, it was possible to automatically recognize checkerboard targets within a minute for 36 images.

Recently, They are usually recording the patient information on the Hospital Information System. In the department of Radiology, For the purpose of assuming patient exposed dose, Authors contrived the mathematical calculation model by use of x-ray out put data on the Excel program, if they in put the exposure factors (kVp, mAs, thickness), the program could automatically calculate the patient Skin dose. The assuming data by three dimensional equation has average errors within ${\pm}5%$, there for We could make good use of clinical field in department of radiology.

서로 다른 색상의 조명환경에서 촬영된 영상으로부터 동일 객체를 자동으로 검출하기 위하여 객체의 색상 비교가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 서로 다른 조명 영상들에서 비교 대상 객체들의 색상을 비교 분석하기 위하여, 조명 차이 요소를 제거하고, 입력영상을 목표 조명영상으로 변환하기 위한 색 보정 기법을 제안한다. 제안 색상 보정 기법은 촬영전에 색상 팔렛트를 이용하여 조명색상 정보를 분석하여 각 조명간 RGB 색상 요소별 차이를 전처리 단계에서 계산한다. 각 조명환경에서 촬영한 영상에 대해, 미리 계산된 조명간 차이값을 입력되는 각 영상화소값에 반영함으로써 영상의 색상을 보정한다. 실험에서, 서로 다른 색상의 조명 조건에서 촬영된 두 영상에 대하여 하나의 영상을 기준 영상으로 선정하고, 다른 하나의 영상에 제안 보정처리를 수행한다. 보정 전후 영상과 기준 영상과의 가시적인 비교 방법과 히스토그램 비교에 의하여 제안 보정 기법의 성능을 평가한다.

In this paper, we propose monocular visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in the large-scale environment. The proposed method continuously computes the current 6-DoF camera pose and 3D landmarks position from video input. The proposed method successfully builds consistent maps from challenging outdoor sequences using a monocular camera as the only sensor. By using a binary descriptor and metric-topological mapping, the system demonstrates real-time performance on a large-scale outdoor dataset without utilizing GPUs or reducing input image size. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated on various challenging video sequences.

In this paper, we have proposed an automated system that accurately measures the thickness and unbalanced wear of brake shoes, and the distance between brake shoes and wheels for travelling rolling stock. The images of brake shoes are captured automatically while rolling stock is passing by an inspection station. And in order to measure the thickness, etc. the locations of brake shoes are first determined because the locations are not the same in the captured image. Toward this goal, shadow regions between the brake shoes and wheels are utilized that are common in all captured images. The boundary of the shadow regions is modeled by an second order polynomial, and constrained curve fitting method is adopted to detect a curve (the initial curve) that passes through the regions. Then, three curves that correspond to the front, back of brake shoes and wheels, and a line that passes through the vertical surface of brake shoes are detected using the initial curve and intensity change information. Finally, the thickness, etc. are calculated using the detected curves and line, and experimental results showed that the brake shoe thickness was measured with an accuracy of 0.654mm.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of flight height, flight speed, exposure time of camera shutter and autofocusing on the visual resolution of the image in order to obtain ultra-high resolution images with a GSD less than 1cm. It is also aimed to evaluate the ease of recognition of various types of aerial targets. For this purpose, we measured the visual resolution using a 7952*5304 pixel 35mm CMOS sensor and a 55mm prime lens at 20m intervals from 20m to 120m above ground. As a result, with automatic focusing, the visual resolution is measured 1.1~1.6 times as the theoretical GSD, and without automatic focusing, 1.5~3.5 times. Next, the camera was shot at 80m above ground at a constant flight speed of 5m/s, while reducing the exposure time by 1/2 from 1/60sec to 1/2000sec. Assuming that blur is allowed within 1 pixel, the visual resolution is 1.3~1.5 times larger than the theoretical GSD when the exposure time is kept within the longest exposure time, and 1.4~3.0 times larger when it is not kept. If the aerial targets are printed on A4 paper and they are shot within 80m above ground, the encoded targets can be recognized automatically by commercial software, and various types of general targets and coded ones can be manually recognized with ease.

In almost industries, such as the logistics industry, marine fisheries, agriculture, industry, and services, small unmanned aerial vehicles are used for aerial photographing or closing flight in areas where human access is difficult or CCTV is not installed. Also, based on the information of small unmanned aerial photographing, application research is actively carried out to efficiently perform surveillance, control, or management. In order to carry out tasks in a mission-based manner in which the set tasks are assigned and the tasks are automatically performed, the small unmanned aerial vehicles must not only fly steadily but also be able to charge the energy periodically, In addition, the unmanned aircraft need to land automatically and precisely at certain points after the end of the mission. In order to accomplish this, an automatic precision landing method that leads landing by continuously detecting and recognizing a marker located at a landing point from a video shot of a small UAV is required. In this paper, it is shown that accurate and stable automatic landing is possible even if simple template matching technique is applied without using various recognition methods that require high specification in using low cost general purpose small unmanned aerial vehicle. Through simulation and actual experiments, the results show that the proposed method will be made good use of industrial fields.

본 논문에서는 단일광자방출 전산화 단층촬영영사(SPECT)을 이용하여 심근의 기능을 보다 쉽고 정확하게 평가하기 위해 반자동 분할 및 정량적 데이터를 시각화하는 인터페이스를 구현하였다. 먼저 반자동 분할에서는 환자영상에서 보여지듯이 심근 기능이 저하되어 부분적으로 심근이 불연속적으로 나타나는 영상에서도 내.외벽의 외각을 연속성을 가지고 견고하게 분리할 수 있도록 사용자가 간단히 조작할 수 있는 반자동 분리 인터페이스를 구현하였다. 또한 내.외벽으로 분리된 외곽선들을 이용하여 측정한 지역적 모션 데이터를 사용자가 보다 이해하기 쉽도록 Bull's eye 그래프를 이용하여 가시화하였다. 본 논문에서 구현한 반자동 분할 및 정량적 데이터의 시각화 인터페이스는 환자의 심근에 대한 기능 영상처럼 분석이 어려운 영상에서도 보다 견고하고 정확한 평가를 할 수 있도록 해준다.
