본 연구는 아날로그 신호를 사용하는 공중교환 전화망과 접속되는 그룹 3(G3) 팩시밀리의 화상 품질을 측정하는 방법을 제시하였다. CCITT(현 ITU-TS) 표준시험 도표 No.2를 이용하여 전송된 화상에 대한 평가는 설문조사를 통해 평가되었고, 그것들은 MOS(Mean Opinion Score) 방법에 의해 계량화되었다. 설문지의 결과에 대한 상관 분석을 통해 문항을 하나의 종합 평가 문항으로 줄일 수 있음을 살펴보았다. 그리고 그 점수들의 평균들에 대한 차이를 분석함으로써 팩시밀리 화상 품질에 영향을 미치는 요인들의 유의성을 검정하였다. 유의성을 검정하는 방법들로 t 검정법과 Vander Waerden Scores 방법을 제시하였다. 그리고 검정 결과 점수 평균이 유의하지 않은 그룹들을 하나의 그룹으로 하여 그 그룹에 있어서 점수 히스토그램을 구하였다. 이 히스토그램을 하나의 정규 분포 곡선으로 근사시켜 팩시밀리 화상 품질 평가치를 살펴보았다.

To use domestic softwood for structural lumber, appropriate grading system for quality, production and distribution condition of domestic lumber should be prepared. Kim et al. developed an automatic image processing system for grading domestic structural lumber (2009a and b). This study was carried out to investigate optimal image merging conditions for improving performance of image input system which is the key technique of image processing system, developed in the previous paper. To merge digital images of Korean larch lumber, choosing the green channel information of obtained image data showed the most accurate merging performance. As a pre-treatment process, applying Y-derivative Sharr's kernel filter could improve the image merging accuracy, but the effect of camera calibration was imperceptible. The optimal size of template image was verified as 30 pixel widths and 150 pixel heights. When applying the above mentioned conditions, the error length of images was 3.1 mm and the processing time was 9.7 seconds in average.

본 논문에서는 질의화상을 위한 칼라의 위치묘사 키워드와 칼라 키워드를 칼라특징으로 매핑하여 검색할 수 있는 내용기반 화상 검색 방법을 제안하고 이를 구현하였다. 칼라 키워드는 화상의 칼라 특징을 사용하여 칼라 세그먼트 프리미티브로부터 정의되고, 위치 묘사 키워드는 칼라 영역 정보를 사용하여 위치 세그먼트 프리미티브로부터 정의된다. 정의된 각 칼라 키워드 프리미티브는 화상의 칼라특징으로 매핑되어 저장된 참조화상의 6x6 블록의 칼라 특징과 비교하게 되고 유사도 순치 묘사 키워드와 칼라 키워드 검색의 정확도를 측정하였고, 화상검색 실험결과, 평균 recall/precision이 0.72/0.80를 보임으로써 내용기반 화상 데이터 검색에 제안된 방법이 유용함을 보였다.

Investigation is given to the detailed procedure of a computer assisted automatic technique for ortho-image generation from digital stereo image data of close-range photographs scanned by the CCD camera scanner. After rectification of geometric scanning errors, the bundle adjustment technique was used to determine the exterior orientation parameters of terrestrial camera. An automatic correlation matching technique was applied to search for the conjugate pixels in digital stereo pairs. And the 3-dimensional coordinates of the corresponding pixels were calculated by the space intersection method. For the generation of ortho-image from the calculated coordinates and right image data values, inverse-weighted-distance average method was used. And the accuracy of the resulting ortho-image was checked by comparing its image coordinates with there corresponding ground coordinates for the check points.

This study examined pruritus to provide the data based on burn patient pruritus. A self-report questionnaire survey was conducted among ninety five burn survivors, who were over 18 years of age with admission periods longer than two weeks. The results indicated that the average burn range was $18.95{\pm}17.10%$, severity was $48.83{\pm}23.96$, and distress was $46.42{\pm}25.80$. A significant difference in pruritus consequences was observed according to frequency. The patients consistently experienced pruritus, even if it happened less often, difficulty in falling asleep (F=4.817, p=.004), poor mood (F= 5.955, p=.015)), and loss of concentration (F=6.483, p<.000). A significant difference in the pruritus consequences according to duration was observed, lasting for 30 minutes for all groups, more than the population and less than 30 minutes, difficulty in falling asleep (F=7.452, p<.000), poor mood (F=3.655, p<.015), and loss of concentration (F=12.564, p<.000). The frequency, duration (r=.29, p=.004), severity (r=.45, p<.000), distress (r=.44, p<.000), and consequences of pruritus in burn patients (r=.29, p=.004) showed a positive correlation. The results of this study could be used as a base material for the care of burn patients experiencing pruritus.

Image steganography is a secret communication method used to transmit secret messages that have been embedded into an image. To accommodate a secret message in a digital image, the original cover image is modified by the embedding algorithm. As a result, a stego image is obtained. The sender hides the secret message in a cover image that has no meaning, and then transmits the stego image to the receiver. In this paper, we propose a steganographic method based on spatial domain to embed a secret message using a difference value of two consecutive pixels and a secret quantization range. Especially, we use the modular operation for increasing of insertion information. Through experiments, we have shown that the proposed method has much mon payload capacity, average 60 percent, than some existing methods by using modular operation.

본 논문은, 공간영역에서 화상을 압축할 수 있는 Quad-tree 부호화법을 분석하고, 보다 화질 및 압축율을 개선하기 위하여 적응 불록분할 및 병합 알고리듭을 제안하엿다. 화상은 에지부분을 제외하고는 인접한 화소들간에 데이터의 용장도가 높으므로 이 영역을 하나의 대표값으로 설정하여 그 값과 그 블록의 위치좌표를 부호화할 수 있다. Quad-tree 분할은 초기의 병합을 제외하고 순차적으로 분할과정만 반복처리하지만 본 알고리듬에서는 단위블록(3$\times$3 호소) 의 평균잘류에너지(MRE)를 이용하여 블록의 분할과 병합을 반복처리한다. 시뮬레이션결과, 본 알고리듭은 압축율 1bit/pixel에서 기존의 Quad-tree 방법보다 PSNR에서 1.0dB의 개선이 있었으며, 화상의 블록화 현상도 전혀 나타나지 않았다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate differences in initial patient states based on types of burn accidents in the pre-hospital stage. 1,223 items of transfer data from burn accidents of Gyeonggi-do emergency medical services in 2013 were used. Burn accidents were most common in children younger than 10 years old (26.0%) and happened mostly at home (51.3%). Patient states by burn type were stable on average, but burns by electricity showed 10.7% of awareness condition U (Unresponsive), which was higher than that of the other burn types. Initial patient states for this type were shown to be serious, unlike other burn types, with temperatures of $35.90^{\circ}C$ and third degree burn depth (39.28%). Understanding initial patient states based on burn type is necessary in order to do effective approach in the pre-hospital stage.

The error diffusion algorithm is excellent for reproducing continuous gray-scale images to bianry images and also has good edge characteristics. However, it is well known that artifacts with objectionable patterns can occur in the halftoned images. On the other hand, a halftone algorithm using blue noise mask has been proposed. where the halftoning is achieved by a pixelwise comparison of gray-scale image with an array, the blue noise mask. It doesn't have pattern artifacts, but the halftoned image looks unclear because the quantization errors are not feedbacked compared to the error diffusion. In this paper, edge enhanced error diffusion which dithers the threshold with the blue noise mask is proposed. We show that the proposed algorithm can produce unstructured and edge enhanced halftone images. This algorithm is analyzed by the concept of an equivalent input image. The performace of the proposed algorithm is compared with that of the conventional halftoning by measuring the radially averaged power spectrum and edge correlation.
