본 연구에서는 3차원그래픽스를 이용하여 영상검지기에서의 교통정보를 얻기 위한 검지영역 설정시 안정된 검지영역을 찾기 위한 시뮬레이터를 개발하였다. 기존의 영상검지기에서는 사용자가 임의로 검지영역을 설정하여 교통정보를 수집함으로 인하여 안정된 교통정보를 얻기가 어려웠으며, 영상카메라의 설치시 과다한 설치규격의 설정으로 비효율적 측면이 발생될 수 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해서는 영상검지기를 현장에 설치하기 전에 영상검지기 설치를 위한 사전 모의실험을 토대로 최적의 안정된 설치위치 결정이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서 개발한 모의 실험기는 도로의 기하구조와 차량을 모델화 하고 이를 3차원으로 좌표화하여 좌표변환식과 원근변환식을 이용하여 3차원좌표를 2차원으로 변환시키고 컴퓨터 모니터에 투영하여 대상 설치위치에서의 결과를 가시화하였다. 본 연구는 개발된 모의실험기의 적용성 검토를 위하여 현재 영상검지기를 운영중에 있는 한 접근로를 대상으로 사례연구를 수행하였다. 수행결과 교통량과 통행속도계측시 최적검지영역 설정을 위한 영상검지기의 설치규격은 높이가 각각 7m, 12m이상이며, 수직각은 각각 $30^{\circ}$, $80^{\circ}$인 것으로 나타났다.

재조명(relighting) 렌더링은 장면 내에 새로운 광원의 추가 또는 기존 광원 속성의 변경으로 인한 영상의 변화를 효율적으로 계산하는 과정을 말한다. 본 논문에서는 쉐이딩(shading) 계산에서 광원에 독립적인 파라메터를 미리 텍스쳐 이미지 형태로 캐시화하여 재조명 렌더링 과정에서의 계산량을 줄이는 방법을 사용하였다. 이러한 쉐이딩 파라메터들의 캐시 이미지들은 사용자가 카메라 시점을 바꾸고자 할 경우 새로 생성을 하여야 하는데, 이 계산에 많은 시간이 소요된다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 시점에서의 캐시 이미지들를 영상 기반 렌더링(image-based rendering) 기법을 이용하여 실시간에 구하는 방법을 제시한다. 먼저 여러 개의 지정된 카메라 시점에 대한 캐시 이미지들을 미리 생성해 둔다. 다음 원하는 시점의 캐시 이미지는 각 픽셀에 투영되는 3차원 표면점을 역시점변환(inverse viewing transform)을 통해 구하고, 이 점을 지정된 카메라 시점으로 다시 투영하여 캐시 이미지에서의 대응 픽셀을 찾는다. 대응 픽셀의 파라메터 값들을 평균하여 새 캐시 이미지에 써준다. 이 과정들은 하드웨어 그래픽 가속기의 단편 쉐이더(fragment shader)를 이용하여 실시간으로 수행된다.

In this research, the dimensional error of the measured specimen according to the measurement method was analyzed for the length, angle, radius of curvature and diameter using a projector which is used in industry. One-way analysis was performed on each data tested 30 times using a statistical technique. Through the experiment, it was found that an error occurred in each data when measuring the length and radius of curvature according to the measurement method, and the null hypothesis that no error occurred when measuring the angle and length was established. Based on this experimental data, the automatic measurement when measuring the projector causes less measurement error, so automatic measurement is recommended when measuring a small product. Also, an optimal measuring method is suggested for securing reliability on formulations of measurement automation.

The reduction of radiation dose from x-ray is a main concern in computed tomography (CT) imaging due to the side-effect of the dose on human body. Recently, the various methods for dose reduction have been studied in CT and one of the method is a iterative reconstruction based on total variation (TV) minimization at few-views data. In this paper, we evaluated the image quality between total variation (TV) minimization algorithm and Feldkam-Davis-kress (FDK) algorithm in micro computed tomography (CT). To evaluate the effect of TV minimization algorithm, we produced a cylindrical phantom including contrast media, water, air inserts. We can acquire maximum 400 projection views per rotation of the x-ray tube and detector. 20, 50, 90, 180 projection data were chosen for evaluating the level of image restoration by TV minimization. The phantom and mouse image reconstructed with FDK algorithm at 400 projection data used as a reference image for comparing with TV minimization and FDK algorithm at few-views. Contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), Universal quality index (UQI) were used as a image evaluation metric. When projection data are not insufficient, our results show that the image quality of reconstructed with TV minimization is similar to reconstructed image with FDK at 400 view. In the cylindrical phantom study, the CNR of TV image was 5.86, FDK image was 5.65 and FDK-reference was 5.98 at 90-views. The CNR of TV image 0.21 higher than FDK image CNR at 90-views. UQI of TV image was 0.99 and FDK image was 0.81 at 90-views. where, the number of projection is 90, the UQI of TV image 0.18 higher than FDK image at 90-views. In the mouse study UQI of TV image was 0.91, FDK was 0.83 at 90-views. the UQI of TV image 0.08 higher than FDK image at 90-views. In cylindrical phantom image and mouse image study, TV minimization algorithm shows the best performance in artifact reduction and preserving edges at few view data. Therefore, TV minimization can potentially be expected to reduce patient dose in clinics.

사람의 몸 동작을 인식해야하는 여러 응용분야에서의 필요성이 대두되면서 이 분야로의 연구가 활발해지고 있다. 이 논문은 사람의 비언어적 행동을 자동적으로 분석할 수 있는 인식기 개발에 관한 것으로 실세계 3 차원 좌표값을 입력으로 하는 사람 몸 동작 패턴 분류기의 구현방법을 소개한 것이다. 하나의 사람 몸 동작은 각 몸 구성 성분(손, 아래팔, 위팔, 어깨, 머리, 몸통 등)의 움직임을 조합해서 정의한 수가 있기 때문에 개별적인 각 몸 구성성분의 움직임을 인식하여 조합해서 임의의 동작을 판별하려는 방법을 적용한다. 사람 몸 동작 패턴 분류기는 측정된 실세계 3 차원 좌표 자료를 양자화한 후 xy, zy 평면에 투영한 값을 자자 구한다. 이 결과를 각각 8 방향 체인 코드로 바꾸고 2 단계 체인 코드 평활화 사업을 하여, 4 방향 코드 체적화 및 대표 코드로의 압축단계를 거친다. 이로서 생성된 프리미티브 패턴나열들을 동작 클래스별로 분류하여 프리미티브 패턴나열의 확장으로 각각의 식별기를 구축하여 각 몸 구성 성분별 동작들을 분류한다. 일련의 실험이 행해져 그 타당성을 확인하였으며, 차후에 이 분류기는 비언어적 행동 분석을 위한 사람 몸 동작 인식기의 전처리 단계로 사용되어진 것이다.

Purpose SPECT/CT was noted for its excellent correction method and qualitative functions based on fusion images in the early stages of dissemination, and interest in and utilization of quantitative functions has been increasing with the recent introduction of companion diagnostic therapy(Theranostics). Unlike PET/CT, various conditions like the type of collimator and detector rotation are a challenging factor for image acquisition and reconstruction methods at absolute quantification of SPECT/CT. Therefore, in this study, We want to find out the effect on the radioactivity concentration estimate by the increase or decrease of the total acquisition time according to the number of projections and the acquisition time per projection among SPECT/CT imaging conditions. Materials and Methods After filling the 9,293 ml cylindrical phantom with sterile water and diluting 99mTc 91.76 MBq, the standard image was taken with a total acquisition time of 600 sec (10 sec/frame × 120 frames, matrix size 128 × 128) and also volume sensitivity and the calibration factor was verified. Based on the standard image, the comparative images were obtained by increasing or decreasing the total acquisition time. namely 60 (-90%), 150 (-75%), 300 (-50%), 450 (-25%), 900 (+50%), and 1200 (+100%) sec. For each image detail, the acquisition time(sec/frame) per projection was set to 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 15.0 and 20.0 sec (fixed number of projections: 120 frame) and the number of projection images was set to 12, 30, 60, 90, 180 and 240 frames(fixed time per projection:10 sec). Based on the coefficients measured through the volume of interest in each acquired image, the percentage of variation about the contrast to noise ratio (CNR) was determined as a qualitative assessment, and the quantitative assessment was conducted through the percentage of variation of the radioactivity concentration estimate. At this time, the relationship between the radioactivity concentration estimate (cps/ml) and the actual radioactivity concentration (Bq/ml) was compared and analyzed using the recovery coefficient (RC_Recovery Coefficients) as an indicator. Results The results [CNR, radioactivity Concentration, RC] by the change in the number of projections for each increase or decrease rate (-90%, -75%, -50%, -25%, +50%, +100%) of total acquisition time are as follows. [-89.5%, +3.90%, 1.04] at -90%, [-77.9%, +2.71%, 1.03] at -75%, [-55.6%, +1.85%, 1.02] at -50%, [-33.6%, +1.37%, 1.01] at -25%, [-33.7%, +0.71%, 1.01] at +50%, [+93.2%, +0.32%, 1.00] at +100%. and also The results [CNR, radioactivity Concentration, RC] by the acquisition time change for each increase or decrease rate (-90%, -75%, -50%, -25%, +50%, +100%) of total acquisition time are as follows. [-89.3%, -3.55%, 0.96] at - 90%, [-73.4%, -0.17%, 1.00] at -75%, [-49.6%, -0.34%, 1.00] at -50%, [-24.9%, 0.03%, 1.00] at -25%, [+49.3%, -0.04%, 1.00] at +50%, [+99.0%, +0.11%, 1.00] at +100%. Conclusion In SPECT/CT, the total coefficient obtained according to the increase or decrease of the total acquisition time and the resulting image quality (CNR) showed a pattern that changed proportionally. On the other hand, quantitative evaluations through absolute quantification showed a change of less than 5% (-3.55 to +3.90%) under all experimental conditions, maintaining quantitative accuracy (RC 0.96 to 1.04). Considering the reduction of the total acquisition time rather than the increasing of the image acquiring time, The reduction in total acquisition time is applicable to quantitative analysis without significant loss and is judged to be clinically effective. This study shows that when increasing or decreasing of total acquisition time, changes in acquisition time per projection have fewer fluctuations that occur in qualitative and quantitative condition changes than the change in the number of projections under the same scanning time conditions.

Urban is an area where small-scale changes to individual buildings occur frequently. An existing urban building database requires periodic updating to increase its usability. However, there are limitations in data collection for building changes over a wide urban. In this study, we check the possibility of detecting building changes and updating a building database by using satellite images that can capture a wide urban region by a single image. For this purpose, building areas in a satellite image are first extracted by projecting 3D coordinates of building corners available in a building database onto the image. Building areas are then divided into roof and facade areas. By comparing textures of the roof areas projected, building changes such as height change or building removal can be detected. New height values are estimated by adjusting building heights until projected roofs align to actual roofs observed in the image. If the projected image appeared in the image while no building is observed, it corresponds to a demolished building. By checking buildings in the original image whose roofs and facades areas are not projected, new buildings are identified. Based on these results, the building database is updated by the three categories of height update, building deletion, or new building creation. This method was tested with a KOMPSAT-3A image over Incheon Metropolitan City and Incheon building database available in public. Building change detection and building database update was carried out. Updated building corners were then projected to another KOMPSAT-3 image. It was confirmed that building areas projected by updated building information agreed with actual buildings in the image very well. Through this study, the possibility of semi-automatic building change detection and building database update based on single satellite image was confirmed. In the future, follow-up research is needed on technology to enhance computational automation of the proposed method.

In the recent day, the necessity and the effective usage are increased rapidly, and it is applied in many other fields as well as in the field of ortho-photo map. In this study, we extract each objects on the aerial image and automatically classify graphic information to produce digital map using only digital ortho-image without particular drawing devices for producing digital map. For this purpose, we have applied a lot of the image processing techniques and fuzzy theory, classified outline and lane of road and building, and had each layer according to each feature. Especially, in the case of the building, the outer vector lines extracted by pixel unit at the building were very complex, but we have developed the program to be expressed by I-dimensional linear type between building corners. In the result of this study, we could not extract and recognize all of the object on the image all together, but we have got the error within 50cm using semi-automatic technique. Therefore, this method will be used effectively in producing 1/5,000 digital map.
