SAR satellite can acquire clear imagery regardless of weather and the images are widely used for land management, natural hazard monitoring and many other applications. Automatic image matching technique is necessary for management of a huge amount of SAR data. Nevertheless, it is difficult to assure the accuracy of image matching due to the difference of image-capturing attitude and time. In this paper, we compared performances of MI method, FMT method and SIFT method by applying arbitrary displacement and rotation to TerraSAR-X images and changing resolution of the images. As a result, when the features having specific intensity were distributed well in SAR imagery, MI method could assure 0~2 pixels accuracy even if the images were captured in different geometry. But the accuracy of FMT method was significantly poor for the images having different spatial resolutions and the error was represented by tens or hundreds pixels. Moreover, the ratio of corresponding matching points for SIFT method was only 0~17% and it was difficult for SIFT method to apply to SAR images captured in different geometry.

최근 기후변화로 빈번하게 발생하는 국지성 집중호우로 인해 홍수 피해가 증가하고 있으며, 이에 따라 유량 계측 자료의 필요성이 더욱 증대되고 있다. 현재까지 하천의 홍수 유량측정은 대부분 부자법에 의해 수행되어 왔지만, 측정 작업의 위험성이나 측정 정확도에 대해 여러 문제점이 지적되고 있다. 이에 비접촉식 측정 방법으로 안전하고 측정방식이 간편하며 높은 정확도를 갖춘 표면영상유속측정법(Surface Image Velocimetry, SIV)에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 다만 표면영상유속측정법의 경우 질 좋은 영상 촬영을 위해 밝은 빛이 필요하고, 일반적으로 매우 작은 규모의 하천을 제외하고는 영상 획득이 어렵다는 한계가 있다. 이와 같은 문제들을 해결하기 위해 최근 류권규 등(2015)은 영상 획득 장비로 원적외선 카메라의 적용성을 검토한 바 있다. 원적외선 카메라의 경우 별도의 조명을 필요로 하지 않기 때문에 주야간 구분 없이 사용 가능하다는 장점이 있으며 실제 하천에서 홍수와 함께 발생하는 안개의 영향 또한 받지 않아 고정식으로 설치하여 하천 유량측정 시스템을 구성하는 좋은 대안이 될 수 있음을 강조하였다. 다만, 원적외선 카메라는 야간에 적용시 주간과 비교하여 수표면의 움직임이 느리게 분석되는 경향이 있다고 하였다. 실험 결과를 보면, 소형 프로펠러 유속계로 측정한 수표면의 유속값에 비교하여 일반 캠코더 영상으로 산정한 유속 산정 결과의 상대오차는 최대 -10%인 반면, 원적외선 카메라 영상으로 산정한 유속 산정 결과의 오차는 -9%에서 -19%(주간), -10% 에서 -23%까지의 오차 범위를 나타내는 등 일반 캠코더에 비해 원적외선 카메라의 정확도가 다소 떨어지는 결과를 나타냈으며, 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 원적외선 영상의 명암값 분포 차이를 해결하기 위해 영상 처리 기법에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것이라고 하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 원적외선 영상에 대한 다양한 영상 개선을 통해 표면영상유속계의 유속 측정 정확도를 높이고자 하였다. 이를 위해 우선, 적정 해상도와 시간간격을 제시하였으며, 영상의 색 보정과 영상 강화 등의 영상 개선을 통해 원적외선 영상을 이용한 유속 산정 정확도를 향상하였고, 마지막으로 다양한 야간 하천 흐름 조건에 적용하여 원적외선 영상을 활용한 표면영상유속계의 유속 측정 정확도를 높이고자 하였다.

In order to improve the accuracy of the deep learning object detection technique, the effect of magnification rate conditions and seasonal factors on detection accuracy in aerial photographs and drone images was analyzed through experiments. Among the deep learning object detection techniques, Mask R-CNN, which shows fast learning speed and high accuracy, was used to detect the vehicle to be detected in pixel units. Through Seoul's aerial photo service, learning images were captured at different screen magnifications, and the accuracy was analyzed by learning each. According to the experimental results, the higher the magnification level, the higher the mAP average to 60%, 67%, and 75%. When the magnification rates of train and test data of the data set were alternately arranged, low magnification data was arranged as train data, and high magnification data was arranged as test data, showing a difference of more than 20% compared to the opposite case. And in the case of drone images with a seasonal difference with a time difference of 4 months, the results of learning the image data at the same period showed high accuracy with an average of 93%, confirming that seasonal differences also affect learning.

Exposure during childhood results in higher risk for certain detrimental cancers than exposure during adulthood. We measured entrance skin dose (ESD) under 7-year children undergoing chest imaging and compared the relationship between ESD and age, height, weight, chest thickness. Though it is important to measure chest thickness for setting up the exposure condition of chest examination, it is difficult to measure chest thickness of children. We set up exposure parameters according to age because chest thickness of children has correlation with age. In the exposure parameters, for chest A-P examination under 2 year-children, tube voltage (kVp) in hospital A was higher than that in hospital B while tube current (mAs) was higher in hospital B, thus the ESD values were about 1.7 times higher in hospital B. However, for chest P-A examination over 4 year-children, the tube voltage was 7 kVp higher in hospital B, the tube current were same in all two systems, and focus to image receptor distance (FID) in hospital B (180 cm) was longer than that in hospital A (130 cm), thus the ESD values were 1.4 times higher in hospital A. For same ages, the ESD values for chest A-P examinations were higher than those for chest P-A examinations. Comparing ESD according to age, ESD values were $154{\mu}Gy$, $194{\mu}Gy$ and $138{\mu}Gy$ for children under 1 year, 1 to under 4 years and 4 to under 7 years of age, respectively. These values were lower than reference level ($200{\mu}Gy$) recommended in JART (japan association of radiological technologists), however these were higher than reference values recommended by EC (european commission), NRPB (national radiological protection board) and NIFDS (national institute of food & drug safety evaluation). In conclusion, the values of ESD were affected by exposure parameters from radiographer's past experience more than x-ray system. ESD values for older children were not always higher than those for younger children. Therefore we need to establish our own DRLs (diagnostic reference levels) according to age of the children in order to optimize pediatric patient protection.

This paper analyzed relationships between various features from SAR data with multiple acquisition dates and mode (frequency, polarization and incidence angles), and land-cover classes. Two typical types of features were extracted by considering acquisition conditions of currently available SAR data. First, coherence, temporal variability and principal component transform-based features were extracted from multi-temporal and single mode SAR data. C-band ERS-1/2, ENVISAT ASAR and Radarsat-1, and L-band JERS-1 SAR data were used for those features and different characteristics of different SAR sensor data were discussed in terms of land-cover discrimination capability. Overall, tandem coherence showed the best discrimination capability among various features. Long-term coherence from C-band SAR data provided a useful information on the discrimination of urban areas from other classes. Paddy fields showed the highest temporal variability values in all SAR sensor data. Features from principal component transform contained particular information relevant to specific land-cover class. As features for multiple mode SAR data acquired at similar dates, polarization ratio and multi-channel variability were also considered. VH/VV polarization ratio was a useful feature for the discrimination of forest and dry fields in which the distributions of coherence and temporal variability were significantly overlapped. It would be expected that the case study results could be useful information on improvement of classification accuracy in land-cover classification with SAR data, provided that the main findings of this paper would be confirmed by extensive case studies based on multi-temporal SAR data with various modes and ground-based SAR experiments.

The stagnant growth in 3D market due to 3D movie contents shortage is encouraging development of techniques for production cost reduction. Elimination of vertical disparity generated during image acquisition requires heaviest time and effort in the whole stereoscopic film-making process. This matter is directly related to competitiveness in the market and is being dealt with as a very important task. The removal of vertical disparity, i.e. image rectification has been treated for a long time in the photogrammetry field. While computer vision methods are focused on fast processing and automation, photogrammetry methods on accuracy and precision. However, photogrammetric approaches have not been tried for the 3D film-making. In this paper, proposed is a photogrammetry-based rectification algorithm that enable to eliminate the vertical disparity precisely by reconstruction of geometric relationship at the time of shooting. Evaluation of proposed algorithm was carried out by comparing the performance with two existing computer vision algorithms. The epipolar constraint satisfaction, epipolar line accuracy and vertical disparity of result images were tested. As a result, the proposed algorithm showed excellent performance than the other algorithms in term of accuracy and precision, and also revealed robustness about position error of tie-points.

In this study, characteristics of multi-photos and optimal photographing method are suggested by analyzing the normal case and convergent case with multiple method. The optimal photographing method is applied to deformation measurement of a model miniature structure under loading. Comparing with conventional measurement method in accuracy, efficiency and proprities of application of this method are suggested. As a result, the optimal photographing condition is ideal at $90^{\circ}$ convergent multiple case, whose measurement values approach to that of precision level within $5{\sim}9{\mu}m$ and bring more than about 55% improvement of accuracy comparing with normal case at the number of photos respectively. Therefore application of this method in deformation measurement as well as precision analysis of structures is desired in precision and economical aspect.

Mammography has the advantage of being economical, simple and effective in detecting microcalcification, but breast is a highly sensitive organ and is accompanied by the risk of an over-exposure. While accurate dose assessments are important to prevent this, current breast dose assessments are limited to breast implant patients. This purpose of this study was to identify dose variations due to tube voltages by forming a mock-up with breast implants for an accurate dosimetric assessment on breast implant patients. As a result, doses from the presence of breast implants were smaller than those from the absence of the mammal. As the result of the change of the voltage to 26, 28, 30, and 32 kV, the imcreased tube voltage included larger dose regardless of the presence of Breast implant. Therefore, it is believed that diagnosis recommendations for breast implants will be possible if further studies on internal and external bioretical imaging and quality assessment are carried out as the basis for this study.

Digital topographical maps used for GIS DB are mainly produced by the traditional way of analogue aerial photogrammetry. Therefore, analogue photos are only available for digital mapping after preprocessing such as film developing, printing and scanning. However, digital aerial camera is able to get digital image directly without preprocessing and thus the performance and efficiency of photogrammetry are extremely increased. This study aims to investigate geometric stability of digital aerial frame camera DMC (Digital Modular Camera). In order to verify the geometric stability of digital aerial camera DMC, some different block conditions with and without cross strips, GPS/INS data and variation of GCPs are introduced in the block adjustment. The accuracy results of every block condition were compared each other by computation of residuals of exterior orientation (EO) parameters. Results of study shows that the geometric stability of the block adjustment with cross strips is increased about 30% against without cross strips. The accuracy of EO parameters of block adjustment with cross strips is also increased about 2cm for X-coordinate, 3cm for Y-coordinate, 3cm for Z-coordinate, and 6" for omega, 4" for phi and 3" for kappa.
