In this paper, we propose an implementation method of 3D image correlator using integral imaging technique. In the proposed method, elemental images of the reference and signal 3D objects are recorded by lenslet arrays and then reference and signal output plane images with high resolution are optically reconstructed on the output plane by displaying these elemental images into a display panel. Through cross-correlations between the reconstructed reference and the single plane images, 3D object recognition is performed. The proposed method can provide a precise 3D object recognition by using the high-resolution output plane images compared with the previous methods and implement all-optical structure for real-time 3D object recognition system. To show the feasibility of the proposed method, optical experiments are carried out and the results are presented.

This paper presents an analog front-end integrated circuit (IC) for medical ultrasound imaging systems using standard $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The proposed front-end circuit includes the transmit part which consists of 15-V high-voltage pulser operating at 2.6 MHz, and the receive part which consists of switch and a low-power low-noise preamplifier. Depending on the operation mode, the output driver in the transmit pulser can be reconfigured as the switch in the receive path and thus the area of the overall front-end IC is reduced by over 70% in comparison to previous work. The designed single-channel front-end prototype consumes less than $0.045mm^2$ of core area and can be utilized as a key building block in highly-integrated multi-array ultrasound medical imaging systems.

When the oil is produced in the low temperature environment, wax can be accumulated in petroleum production system(pipeline, riser) and causes problems such as pipeline stucking, disturbance of the oil production. These problems can be lead to time-consuming and economic losses for flow assurance. For prediction and mitigation of wax deposition, it is necessary to measure the Wax Appearance Temperature(WAT) which is a temperature when the wax crystals start to be formed. WAT standard measurement method of transparent oil has to determine the cloud point of sample to the naked eye and cannot be applied to continuous change of the temperature. In this study, wax behavior of transparent oil samples are recorded depending on temperature using Visualized WAT Measurement System. Also, WATs of transparent oil samples are measured by image processing and compared with the result of the standard method.

Currently, commercially available phantom can reproduce and evaluate only a static situation, the study is incomplete research on phantom and system which is can confirmed functional situation in the kidney by time through dynamic phantom and blood flow velocity, various difference according to the amount of radioactive. Therefore, through this study, it has produced the dynamic kidney phantom to reproduce images through the dynamic flow of the kidney, it desires to evaluate the usefulness of nuclear medicine imaging. The production of the kidney phantom was fabricated based on the normal adult kidney, in order to reproduce the dynamic situation based on the fabricated kidney phantom, in this study, it was applied the volume pump that can adjust the speed of blood flow, so it can be integrated continuously radioactive isotopes in the kidney by using $^{99m}Tc$-pertechnate. Used the radioactive isotope was supplied through the two pump. It was confirmed the changes according to the infusion rate, radioactive isotopes and the different injection speeds on the left and right, analysis of the acquired images was done by drawn five times ROI in order to check the reproducibility of each on the front and rear of the kidney and bladder. Depending on the speed of injection, radioisotope was a lot of integrated and emissions up when adjusting the pressure of the pump as 30 stroke, it was the least integrated and emissions up when adjusting as 40 stroke. The integration of the left & right kidney was not reached in the amount of the highest when adjusting as 10 stroke. In the changes according to the amount of the radioactive isotope, 0.6 mCi(22.2 MBq), 0.8 mCi (29.6 MBq)was showed up similar tendency but, in the result of the different injection 0.8 mCi, it was showed up counts close to double of 0.6 mCi. In the result of the differently injection speed of the left & right kidney, as a result of different conditions that injection speed was 20 stroke through left kidney phantom, the injection speed was 30 stroke through right kidney phantom, it was enough difference in the resulting image can be easily distinguished with the naked eye. Through this study, the results showed that the dynamic kidney phantom system is able to similarly reproduce renogram in the actual clinical practice. Especially, the depicted over time for the flow to be excreted through the kidney into the bladder was adequately reproduce, it is expected to be utilized as basic data to check the quality of the dynamic images. In addition, it is considered to help in the field of functional imaging and quality control.

본 논문에서는 영상확대 chip의 video 입력부에 부분화면을 저장할 frame memory의 구조를 개선하고자 하였다. 영상확대 video scaler인 gm833×2는 입력단 측에 frame buffer memory가 필요하게 되지만, 이를 외부에 장착하려면 일반적으로 대용량의 FIFO 메모리를 사용하게 된다. 이것은 dualport SRAM으로 구성이 되며, 메모리 제어를 고가의 FIFO칩에 의존하는 결과를 가져온다. 또한 기존의 scaler chip은 단순히 확대처리만을 하며, 입력 전, 후에 data의 변경 또는 이미지처리가 불가능한 구조가 된다. 본 논문에서는 외부에 필요한 메모리를 내장한 새로운 기능의 chip을 설계하는 데에 있어 필수적인 메모리제어 로직을 제안하고자 한다. 여기서는 더 나은 기능의 향상된 메모리 제어회로를 제시하고 이를 One-chip에 집적할 수 있도록 하였다 이를 사용한 Video Scaler Processor chip은 SDRAM을 별도의 제어회로 없이 외부에 장착할 수 있도록 하여 scaler의 기능을 향상시키면서 전체 시스템의 구조를 간단히 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 메모리 제어회로를 포함한 Video Scaler Processor chip의 메모리제어 하드웨어의 구조를 제시하고, 메모리 access model과 제어로직을 소개하고자 한다.

The proposed system uses a new image mapping algorithm which can achieve the real time processing, which is indispensable for the virtual reality system. 3D images generated by the advanced graphic software such as OpenGL API can be directly used without complex adaptation. Therefore, the computer-generated integral imaging system using the proposed mapping algorithm can be successfully applied to virtual reality.
