This paper describes a development of Ultrasonic NDE software to analyze steam generator of nuclear power plant. The developed software includes classical analysis method such as A, B, C and D-scan images. And it can analyze the detected internal cracks using 3D image processing method. To do such, we obtain raw data from specimens of real pipeline of power plants, and get the envelope signal using Empirical Mode Decomposition from obtained ultrasonic 1-dimensional data. The reconstructed 3D crack images offer useful information about the location, shape and size of cracks, even if there is no special 2D image analysis technique. The developed analysis software is applied to specimens containing various cracks with known dimensions. The results of application showed that the developed software provided accurate and enhanced 2D images and reconstructed 3D image of cracks.

3차원 디스플레이 시스템의 구현을 위해 다양한 방법으로 연구가 진행되고 있는데 Stereoscopic 방법에 비해 IP(Integral Photography)방식은 비안경식이고 시야각과 시점 이동 면에 있어서 좀더 나은 특성을 가지고 있다. n에 대한 연구는 입체 영상의 해상도를 넓히고, 시야각을 넓히며, 또한 동영상을 구현하기 위한 방향으로 진행되고 있다. 여기서는 IP에서 동영상 구현에 대한 새로운 방법을 제시하고자 한다. (중략)

건물의 3차원 모델링은 3차원 공간정보를 구축하는데 있어서 매우 중요한 요소이다. 기존의 3차원 건물 모델링은 대부분 입체 항공사진을 이용하여 도화사에 의해 수동으로 진행되어 많은 시간과 비용이 소요된다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위한 방안으로 최근에는 항공라이다(LiDAR) 데이터를 이용한 모델링 방법에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 기존의 항공라이다 데이터를 이용한 3차원 모델링 연구는 항공라이다 점 데이터를 보간 과정을 통하여 픽셀구조로 변환하거나 수치지도, 항공영상 등의 이종 데이터간의 융합을 통하여 건물을 모델링하는 방안 등을 제시하였다. 본 논문은 기존 건물 모델링 기법에서 사용되었던 점 데이터의 픽셀구조로의 변환 및 이종 데이터간의 융합 등의 방법을 배제하고 항공라이다 데이터만을 이용한 건물의 자동 모델링 방법을 제안하였다. 건물지붕에 대한 항공라이다 데이터를 3차원 공간상에서 재귀적으로 분할하여 패치(patch)를 구성하고, 동일한 속성을 갖는 패치들을 병합하여 건물의 구성요소를 추출한다. 추출되어진 건물의 구성요소를 대표하는 모델을 생성하여 전체적인 건물의 3차원 모델을 구성한다. 항공라이다 데이터를 이용하여 제안된 방법으로 실험한 결과, 다양한 형태의 건물 모델을 자동으로 구성할 수 있었다.

2D 및 입체 영상 콘텐츠의 공급이 많아지면서 실감 콘텐츠에 대한 관심이 더욱 높아지고 있다. 실감 콘텐츠는 다시점 카메라로부터 획득한 다시점 비디오, 깊이 카메라에서 얻은 RGB 영상과 컴퓨터 그래픽스와 같은 synthetic data를 합성하여 보다 실감나게 제작된다. 다시점 카메라를 이용하면 다시점 비디오를 쉽게 획득할 수 있으나 제작비용이 많이 들고, 깊이 카메라를 사용하면 시스템 구성은 상대적으로 용이하나 시점 영상이 하나라는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 깊이 카메라에서 얻은 RGB 텍스쳐 데이터와 깊이 데이터로부터 가상 다시점 영상을 생성하고, 생성된 영상에 컴퓨터 그래픽스를 합성하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 다시점 카메라 시스템을 사용하지 않고도 시점에 따른 가상 시점 화상을 용이하게 제작하여 그래픽 객체를 합성한다. 합성된 다시점 3D 모니터나 입체 모니터를 이용하여 3차원으로 실감나게 시청할 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a stereo-video transmission method for reduction of delay and maximization of 3D effect. Conventional multimedia synchronization algorithms were designed to achieve minimum delay and synchronize multiple video and audio streams, however, they could not be effective for 3D video transmission. In this paper, we proposed a synchronization algorithm by considering the minimum error of time difference between streams for 3D effect. The minimum error of time difference for 3D effect was derived based on a 3D subjective quality test. We compute display time of the delivered videos within the allowed time-difference and the video are displayed according to the display time. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we implemented a real-time video communication system and subjective quality test has been conducted with the proposed system. We found that video quality displayed by the proposed system. We found that video quality displayed by the proposed algorithm ranks 'good' and 'excellent' in the DMOS (Differential Mean Opinion Score) scale, based on the MOS (Mean Opinion Score) test.

In this study, it was intended to present solution for learners to understand and utilize photogrammetry more easily using economic medium except expensive measuring equipment. For this, 3D point data was analysed by generating event to stereo image on monitor, and input to CAD system automatically. so, real time vector editing and drawing with coordinates measurement were possible. The system was verified, and the monitoring for real construction was performed. so, it is expected to be utilized as a practical use software in related fields.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of measurements representing asymmetry of the mandible and to identify which landmarks would be more useful in 3-dimensional (3D) CT imaging. Methods: Facial CT images were obtained from forty normal occlusion individuals. Eighteen landmarks were established from the condyle, gonion, and menton areas, and 25 measurements were constructed to represent asymmetry of the mandible; 8 for ramus length, 12 for mandibular body length, 1 for condylar neck length, 2 for frontal ramal inclination, and 2 for lateral ramal inclination. Inter- and intra-examiner reproducibility of the measurements was evaluated. Results: Inter-examiner reproducibility of the measurements proved to be high except for 3 measurements. Intra-examiner reproducibility also proved to be high except for 2 measurements. Inter- and intra-examiner reproducibility of the measurements including Gonion proved to be low. Conclusions: The results of the present study indicate that the landmarks and measurements constructed in 3D CT images can be used for the diagnosis of facial asymmetry.

The integral imaging system is an auto-stereoscopic display that allows users to see 3D images without wearing special glasses. In the integral imaging system, the 3D object information is taken from several view points and stored as elemental images. Then, users can see a 3D reconstructed image by the elemental images displayed through a lens array. The elemental images can be created by computer graphics, which is referred to the computer-generated integral imaging. The process of creating the elemental images is called image mapping. There are some image mapping methods proposed in the past, such as PRR(Point Retracing Rendering), MVR(Multi-Viewpoint Rendering) and PGR(Parallel Group Rendering). However, they have problems with heavy rendering computations or performance barrier as the number of elemental lenses in the lens array increases. Thus, it is difficult to use them in real-time graphics applications, such as virtual reality or real-time, interactive games. In this paper, we propose a new image mapping method named VVR(Viewpoint Vector Rendering) that improves real-time rendering performance. This paper describes the concept of VVR first and the performance comparison of image mapping process with previous methods. Then, it discusses possible directions for the future improvements.

In Angle's Class III malocclusion, which has higher incidence in Korean than Western, depressed midfacial profile with protruded lower lips and mandible may give rise to many functional, esthetic, psychological, social problems. Due to the different malocclusion incidence according to racial differences, many previous studies focused on the relationship between Class II malocclusion and nasal airway obstruction. Previous studies used lateral cephalography which has limitations of 2 dimensional image with projection error and identification error. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze morphologic differences in the nasal airway between normal occlusion and Angle's Class III malocclusion patients using 3-dimensional facial computed tomography. Thirteen normal occlusion(7 men and 6 women) and sixteen skeletal Class III(7 men and 9 women) patients were selected and 3-dimensional facial computed tomography taking was performed. Comparison between two group in volume and sectional area of nasal airway were carried out. The results were followed. 1. In the comparison of absolute nasal airway volume, oropharyngeal space of experimental group were larger than control group but there are no significant difference in other. 2. In the comparison of relative nasal airway volume, oropharyngeal space of experimental group were larger than control group but there are no significant difference in other. 3. In the oropharyngeal space width on frontal and lateral view, the similar tendency was revealed between two groups. 4. In the lateral curvature of nasal airway, the similar tendency was revealed between two groups.
