Front-projection type displays make it difficult to apply traditional skin color detection for human hand because the projected beam not only reaches to the screen but also to the user's hand. This paper solves this problem by modeling the distortion between original image and its final camera input. Our approach improves hand detection rate by modeling of interference effect among color channels and of intra-frame intensity and also by introducing adaptive threshold for color difference in skin region.

Using the projected 2-dimensional tilted images obtained from the transmission electron microscopy, we can reconstruct the 3-dimensional structures of objects, such as cells. As a preprocessing procedure, the tilted images should be registered and compensated in terms of the spatial position and the intensity difference, respectively. In this paper, we employ the fiducial marker-based approach to perform a registration, and introduce a simple intensity compensation scheme. Based on the transmissivity image formation model, we propose an algorithm that can compensate the components of the illumination and transmissivity of each image according to the tilted angle. Numerical analysis using real images obtained from the transmission electron microscopy are shown in this paper to show the performance of the proposed algorithm.

The media facade technique requires the matching process of the content to the projection target. For this reason, each time the projection target is changed, the matching process of the same content must be performed again at each time. This problem can be solved by analyzing the elevation of the object and automatically performing matching process of the content in real time and projecting the matched content. In this paper, we propose and implement a new algorithm that can obtain the optimized matching content in real time by analyzing the elevation of the object to be projected. The proposed method processes the image matching by using the depth information of the elevation obtained by IR cameras.

가상 내시경의 주된 목적은 체내 장기의 3차원적 구조를 가시화하여 광학 내시경을 모사하는데 있다. 가상 내시경 기법 중 펼친 영상 가시화 기법(unfold rendering)은 장기의 내부 구조와 병변의 유무를 쉽게 판단할 수 있도록 하는 장점이 있다. 가장 일반적으로 사용 하는 중심 경로 기반의 광선 투사법은 곡률이 급격하게 변하는 경우 광선들이 교차하여 병변이 두개로 나타나 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 이를 해결하기위해 광선들이 겹치지 않도록 보장하는 여러 기법들이 발표되었지만 계산량이 많은 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 경로의 제어점을 이용하여 적은 비용으로 펼친 영상을 재구성하는 방법을 제안한다. 우선 모든 중심 경로의 제어점에서 경로에 수직인 절단면을 찾는다. 이때 제어점으로부터 방사상으로 광션을 투사하여 절단면과 만나는 장기 내 벽의 위치를 파악한다. 절단면간의 교차 검사 및 보정을 통해 절단연들이 서로 교차하지 않도록 조정한다. 제어점들 사이의 샘플점들은 앞서 구한 임의의 제어점에서 광선이 투사된 위치로 부터 다음 제어점에서 투사된 위치를 잇는 선분을 보간하여 광선 투사 위치를 결정하게 된다. 마지막으로 계산된 방향 따라 광선을 투사하여 영상을 생성한다.

Image reconstruction is one of the most important processes in CT (Computed tomography) technology. For fast scanning and low dose to the objects, iterative reconstruction is becoming more and more important. In the implementation of iterative reconstruction, projection and backprojection processes are considered to be indispensable parts. However, many approaches for projection and backprojection may result severe image artifacts due to their discrete characteristics and affects the reconstructed image quality. Thus, new approaches for projection and backprojection are highly demanded these days. In this paper, distance-driven approach was evaluated and compared with other conventional methods. The numerical simulator was developed to make the phantoms, and projection and backprojection images were compared using these approaches. As a result, it turned out that there are less artifacts during projection and backprojection in parallel and fan beam geometry.

We propose an interactive projection technique to display details of a large image in a high resolution and brightness by tracking a portable projector. A closed-loop based tracking method is presented to update the projected image while a user changes the position of the detail area by moving the portable projector. A marker is embedded in the large image to indicate the position to be occupied by the detail image projected by the portable projector. The marker is extracted in sequential images acquired by a camera attached to the portable projector. The marker position in the large display image is updated under a constraint that the center positions of marker and camera frame coincide in every camera frame. The image and projective transformation for warping are calculated using the marker position and shape in the camera frame. The marker's four corner points are determined by a four-step segmentation process which consists of camera image preprocessing based on HSI, edge extraction by Hough transformation, quadrangle test, and cross-ratio test. The interactive projection system implemented by the proposed method performs at about 24fps. In the user study, the overall feedback about the system usability was very high.

In this paper, we propose an enhanced algorithm for affine projection algorithms which have been proposed to speed up the convergence of the conventional NLMS algorithm. Since affine projection (AP) or pseudo AP algorithms are based on the delayed input vector and error vector, they are complicated and not suitable for applying methods developed for the LMS-type algorithms which are based on the scalar error signal. We devised a variable step size algorithm for pseudo AP using the fact that pseudo AP algorithms are updated using the scalar error and that the error signal is getting orthogonal to the input signal. We carried out a performance comparison of the proposed algorithm with other pseudo AP algorithms using a system identification model. It is shown that the proposed algorithm presents good convergence characteristics under both stationary and non-stationary environments despites its low complexity.

In the radiation treatment planning (RTP) process, especially for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), knowing the exact volume and shape and the precise position of a lesion is very important. Sometimes X-ray projection images, such as angiograms, become the best choice for lesion identification. However, while the exact target position can be acquired by bi-projection images, 3D target reconstruction from bi-projection images is considered to be impossible. The aim of this study was to reconstruct the 3D target volume from multiple projection images. It was assumed that we knew the exact target position in advance, and all processes were performed in Target Coordinates, where the origin was the center of the target. We used six projections: two projections were used to make a Reconstruction Box and four projections were for image acquisition. The Reconstruction Box was made up of voxels of 3D matrices. Projection images were transformed into 3D in this virtual box using a geometric back-projection method. The resolution and the accuracy of the reconstructed target volume were dependent on the target size. An algorithm was applied to an ellipsoid model and a horseshoe-shaped model. Projection images were created geometrically using C program language, and reconstruction was also performed using C program language and Matlab ver. 6(The Mathwork Inc., USA). For the ellipsoid model, the reconstructed volume was slightly overestimated, but the target shape and position proved to be correct. For the horseshoe-shaped model, reconstructed volume was somewhat different from the original target model, but there was a considerable improvement in determining the target volume.

Researchers have developed virtual reality environments to provide audience with more visually immersive experiences than previously possible. One of the most popular solutions to build the immersive VR space is a multi-projection technique. However, utilization of multiple projectors requires large spaces, expensive cost, and accurate geometry calibration among projectors. This paper presents a novel omnidirectional projection system with a single projector and a single spherical mirror.We newly designed the simple and intuitive calibration system to define the shape of environment and the relative position of mirror/projector. For successful image projection, our optimized omnidirectional image generation step solves image distortion produced by the spherical mirror and a calibration problem produced by unknown parameters such as the shape of environment and the relative position between the mirror and the projector. Additionally, the focus correction is performed to improve the quality of the projection. The experiment results show that our method can generate the optimized image given a normal panoramic image for omnidirectional projection in a rectangular space.

This paper proposes the improved orthogonal projection method as a new technique advancing the performance of the echo cancellation for speeches in the acoustic echo canceller. Comparing with the used NLMS adaptive algorithm, it shows that this method improves the performance of the echo cancellation for signals with the large auto-correlation. In order to testify performances of the orthogonal projection method whom this paper proposes, we have coded a simulation program and executed computer simulations. We observed convergence curves by using two adaptive algorithm for noises and speeches. From simulation results for two input signals, the proposed method shows the high ERLE and the fast convergence and the stable operation in case of using speeches as well as noises.
