The purpose of this study was to analyze radiological technologists' (RT) task perceptions of intravenous injection behavior of contrast medium and use it as basic data for future workforce response plans. We surveyed a total of 172 RT using questionnaire terms consisting of demographic characteristics, job priorities, and RT' task perceptions of intravenous injection behavior. Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, independent samples T-test, and ANOVA analysis. As a result, first, current clinical RT were highly aware of the need for intravenous injection behavior as a response to the future workforce of them, and the workload burden resulting from this was evaluated as low. Second, the fear of intravenous injection behavior was found to be significant, so it is judged to be useful to perform them as selective job actions rather than all RT' task. Third, the need for training courses and certification for RT' intravenous injection behavior is being raised, and additional specific research on this is required. Last, RT' positive perception of intravenous injection behavior could be expected as a foundation for improving national medical services, strengthening RT expertise, and expanding tasks.

정맥을 이용한 생체 인식 방법은 신체의 노화에 영향을 받지 않고 높은 사용 편의성과 변조의 위험이 적어 인증 수단으로 폭넓게 활용되고 있다. 그러나 가짜 정맥 영상을 통한 스푸핑 공격 위험이 존재한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 실제 정맥 영상과 가짜 정맥 영상을 구분하는 기술이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 실제 정맥 데이터의 마디와 뼈의 밝기 차이를 이용해 진짜 정맥 영상과 가짜 정맥 영상을 구분하는 기술을 연구했다.

본 논문에서는 문자인식, 손등 정맥 인식 등에 이용할 수 있는 패턴인식 기법으로 입력된 패턴을 전 처리하여 세선화한 후 유일성이 보장되는 행렬로 변환하는 방법에 관하여 연구 하였다. 입력된 패턴을 세선화 한 후 노드 중심으로 노드에 연결된 에지의 체인 코드와 유크리디안 거리를 노드를 중심으로 가중치와 체인코드를 이용한 행렬을 생성하고, 생성된 행렬의 고유치를 이용하여 인식의 기본 도구로 사용하였다. 이 때 연결된 에지의 방향 코드는 설정된 문턱치 값을 초과하는 변곡에 대하여 새로운 노드를 생성하였다. 이러한 방법을 손등 정맥 패턴 인식에 적용한 결과 인식률이 매우 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we developed a system with a near-infrared LED light source with a wavelength of 950nm to acquire palm vein images and a white LED light source to acquire palm creases based on Raspberry Pi. In addition, we implemented a unique pattern-extractable image processing technology that can prevent counterfeiting and enhance security of mixed creases and palmprints through image pre-processing (Gray scaling, Histogram Equalization, Blurring, Thresholding, Thinning) for the acquired vein and palm images, and secured a source technology that can be used in a security-enhanced system.

본 논문은 손등의 정맥패턴을 이용한 개인식별을 위해 개발된 3가지의 알고리즘에 관해 각각의 성능을 비교한 결과를 제시한다. 세가지 방법은 각각 Unsharp Masking을 이용한 이치화 후 정맥과 손등 배경의 면적을 이용한 가중치를 적용한 원형정합 알고리즘[1]과 Kolmogorov Smirnov(KS) statistic[2]을 이용한 매칭 알고리즘을 개선한 방식, 그리고 정맥의 세선화 처리 후 분기점의 좌표, 정맥의 길이, 정맥 가지 사이의 분기각도 등의 특징벡터를 이용한 방법 등이다. 본 연구에서는 전처리 과정에 있어서, 원시영상의 혈관부위와 배경부위의 gray scale 분포가 겹친 상태에서 Unsharp Masking 필터링을 적용한 결과가 기타 다른 전처리 방식보다 우수하게 영상을 강화시킬 수 있음을 확인하였고, 가중치를 이용한 매칭방식이 다른 매칭방식보다 우수함을 확인하였다.

This study is an algorithm for detecting vein pattern features important for finger vein recognition. The feature detection algorithm is important because it greatly affects recognition results in pattern recognition. The recognition rate is degraded because the reference is changed according to the finger position change. In addition, the image obtained by irradiating the finger with infrared light is difficult to separate the image background and the blood vessel pattern, and the detection time is increased because the image preprocessing process is performed. For this purpose, the presented algorithm can be performed without image preprocessing, and the detection time can be reduced. SWDA (Down Slope Trace Waveform) algorithm is applied to the finger vein images to detect the fingertip position and vein pattern. Because of the low infrared transmittance, relatively dark vein images can be detected with minimal detection error. In addition, the fingertip position can be used as a reference in the classification stage to compensate the decrease in the recognition rate. If we apply algorithms proposed to various recognition fields such as palm and wrist, it is expected that it will contribute to improvement of biometric feature detection accuracy and reduction of recognition performance time.

Recently, the personal identification technologies using vein pattern of back of the hand, palm, and finger have been developed actively because it has the advantage that the vein blood vessel in the body is impossible to damage, make a replication and forge. However, it is difficult to extract clearly the vein region from captured vein images through common image prcessing based region segmentation method, because of the light scattering and non-uniform internal tissue by skin layer and inside layer skeleton, etc. Especially, it takes a long time for processing time and makes a discontinuity of blood vessel just in a image because it has non-uniform illumination due to use a locally different adaptive threshold for the binarization of acquired finger-vein image. To solve this problem, we propose illumination normalization based fast method for extracting the finger-vein region. The proposed method has advantages compared to the previous methods as follows. Firstly, for remove a non-uniform illumination of the captured vein image, we obtain a illumination component of the captured vein image by using a low-pass filter. Secondly, by extracting the finger-vein path using one time binarization of a single threshold selection, we were able to reduce the processing time. Through experimental results, we confirmed that the accuracy of extracting the finger-vein region was increased and the processing time was shortened than prior methods.

In this study, how much users of Hannamkeumbuk Keumbuk Mountains are aware of Baekdaegan and its attached mountain chains, a traditional geographic system, according to Sangyungpyo and basic data like the degree of awareness and use-behaviors, etc. have been studied. In addition, the environmental value of Hannamkeumbuk Keumbuk Mountains separating the central and the southern part of Korea among attached mountain ranges, secondary mountain chains, which act as an ecosystem buffer in the Baekdudaegan Range, has been estimated at the current amount of currency. In the questions of the perception of the traditional classification standard of mountain chains and Baekdudaegan, more than 70% of respondents answered that they had heard of or known them but 66.8% werenot aware of Hannamkeumbuk Keumbuk Mountains. While the awareness for Baekdudaegan is high, the perception of its attached mountain chains was very poor. DBDC responder system and CVM, which is used widely for the value estimate method of environment goods, were used. As the result, an additional benefit got when a person visits Hannamkeumbuk Keumbuk mountains was estimated as 5,813 won. It could find out that this amount was very low compared with 51,984 won, average visit cost. It judged that the reason was that damage of environmental conditions, the monotony of the trails and progress of indiscriminate environmental destruction, etc. The results of this study will offer a new perspective on public relations activities and resource conservation of Baekdudaegan and its attached mountain chains and estimate perceptions and efficient services for visitors to HannamKeumbuk Keumbuk Mountains. This study will act as data for basic planning and management to increase the mountains' value and to preserve them. Further studies are needed to make a frame of work division and management with various organizations so that the management of Hannamkeumbuk-Keumbuk Mountains may be properly established and their value may been hanced.

Recently, the importance of personal information security has emerged. In particular, the importance of biometrics such as voice recognition, fingerprint recognition, face recognition has been highlighted in various fields such as access control, banking security, personal PC security and so on. But if such conventional security techniques are likely to be recognized by an external factor failure. In contrast, if the vein recognition is impossible to copy and counterfeit. Therefore less likely to fail due to external factors has the advantage. In this paper, propose a preprocessing method to improve on the existing vein pattern recognition with high reliability than existing biometric technologies.
