In the early stage of sacroilitis, it is'difficult to detect sacroiliac(Sl) abnormalities by conventional plain X-ray even though there are characteristic symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis. 3 dimensional volume rendering from the CT image was performed to make an early de tection of the structural changes of Sl joint. 2 cases who had clinical impression of ankylosing spondylitis without sacroilitis in plane X-ray and 1 case of typical ankylosing spondylitis as well as 1 case of normal control were studied. The Sl Joints were separated and each joint surface of sacrum and ilium was independently reconstructed by a special 3D manipulation program. All 2 patiant who complained of inflammatory lower back pain with no abnormal findings in the plain X-ray showed structural changes in 3 dimensionally reconstructed surface Image of the Sl joint compared to the normal control. Authors tried several parameters, such as fourler analysis of each surface and the mean and variance of Sl joint gap. We couldn't tell the statistical significance because of the limited number of cases. However, the parameters showed difference according to the progression of disease.

실감 재현이 중요한 가상현실 응용에서는 사용자에게 고급 그래픽 환경을 제시하고 사용자의 인터랙션에 즉각적인 피드백을 제공함으로서 실재감과 몰입감을 증대시키는 연구가 진행되어왔다. 실재감, 공간감 전달을 위해 시각과 청각을 함께 활용하는 것이 효과적이나, 가상공간의 특징을 반영한 3차원 사운도 재현 연구는 국내외 통틀어 초기단계에 머물러 있다. 실재감과 공간감을 반영한 3차원 사운드의 재현을 위해서는 음원의 전파, 반사, 잔향 풍의 계산이 사용자의 인터랙션에 따라 새롭게 계산되어야한다. 그러나 사운드 전파경로와 공간을 이루는 모든 폴리곤들과의 충돌을 검사하며 반사 등을 계산하는 것은 실시간성이 중요한 가상현실응용에서는 무리가 따르므로 실 시간성을 보장하기 위한 계산량 축소가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 다수의 음원이 존재하는 복잡한 가상공간에서의 3차원 사운드를 재현하기 위하여 사운드 신과 계산에 필요한 최소한의 정보를 가지는 오디오 씬 그라프의 공간을 재구성하고 다수의 음원을 대상으로 음원 축소 및 군집화를 적용하여 3차원 사운드효과를 실시간으로 재현하는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

Objects : With the advancement of tissue engineering techniques, the effort to develop bioartificial mucosa have been actively delivered. The problem we met with this technique is the lack of mechanical strength between kerationocyte layer and dermal layer, where in the normal skin and mucosa, they are tightly bound with rete ridge structure. The purpose of this study is to understand the 2D and 3D structure of rete ridge of mucosa and skin paddle for rendering more biomimetic structure to the artificial mucosa. Materials and Methods : Oral mucosa and skin from the patients who received the oral surgery and maxillofacial reconstruction were harvested. The epidermis was separated from the dermis after treating with dispase for 12-16 hours. H&E staining was performed for 2D(dimensional) structure study and confocal LASER and SEM study were performed for 3D structure. Mean height(Sc) and arithmetic mean deviation(Sa) of all surface height were calculated. Results : The average height of rete ridge of skin flap was between $67.14{\mu}m$ and $194.55{\mu}m$. That of oral mucosa was between $146.26{\mu}m$ and $167.51{\mu}m$. Pressure bearing area and attached gingiva of oral mucosa showed deeper rete ridges. Conclusion : To obtain the adequate strength of artificially cultured keratinocyte skin and mucosa flap, it is necessary to imitate the original skin and mucosa structure, especially rete ridge. Through this study, 2D and 3D rete ridge structure of normal mucosa and skin was obtained. These results can be used as basis for substrate morphology for keratinocytes culture.

본 논문에서는 기존의 연구에서 여러 단계를 거쳐 복잡한 연산을 한 후에 수묵화 표현이 가능했던 것과 달리 기존에 요구되었던 채색과정을 줄임으로써 렌더링의 효율을 높인 실시간 3차원 수묵화 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 기법은 모델이 보여지는 방향에 따라 다른 조명 값과 법선 벡터 값을 계산한 후 연산 값에 따라서 여러장의 텍스처를 일정 비율에 맞춰서 모델에 적용함으로써 수묵화의 특징인 농담, 발묵 효과를 한 번에 적용할 수 있게 한다. 그리고 모델의 윤곽선을 표현하는데 사용자의 입력에 따라 붓의 굵기를 조절하게 하여 보다 사실적인 수묵화 느낌을 살렸다. 또한 텍스처 매핑 이후 에도 동양화적인 느낌을 살리기 위해서 두 가지의 종이질감효과를 추가하였다. 이 2 가지의 종이질감 효과는 일종의 안개 필터로서 기존의 안개 필터와 달리 모델이 그려지는 위치에 따라서 각각 가중치가 다른 필터가 적용되게 하였다. 이렇게 필터가 적용된 렌더링의 결과는 일반적으로 채색된 3차원 모델과 느낌이 다른 자연스러운 결과를 생성할 수 있다. 본 연구는 또한 간단한 구현에 장점을 두고 있기 때문에 간단한 애니메이션이나 일반 3차원 게임 등 여러 분야에서 기존에 적용하기 어려웠던 수묵화 기법을 다양하게 활용할 수 있는 가능성을 제시한다.

기존의 종이지도를 수치지도 처리과정으로 얻어진 등고선(contour line) 데이터는 원격탐사(Remote Sensing)와 지리정보시스템(GIS)의 응용분야에서 주로 사용되어지는 데이터이다. 이러한 등고선은 해당 지역의 DTM(Digital Terrain Model) 데이터 생성을 위해 보간(interpolation)하여 생성하는 데 연구가 집중되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 DEM(Digital levation Model)으로부터 얻어진 등고선 데이터를 이용하여 사용자에게 3차원으로 가시화 해 줄 수 있는 기법을 소개한다. 등고선 추출을 위한 방법으로는 기존의 소개되어진 Marching Square 알고리즘을 적용하였고, 지역적인 최고점(local minimum)과 최소점(maximum)을 구하기 위해 등고선을 열린 등고선(open contour)과 닫힌 등고선(closed contour)으로 분류하게 된다. 지역적 최고, 최소점을 찾기 위한 탐색공간을 줄이기 위해 닫힌 등고선만을 닫힌 등고만을 대상으로 등고선 트리를 생성하였으며, 생성된 트리의 리프노드에 대해서 최고, 최소점에 대한 근사(approximation)를 수행하게 된다. 이렇게 구해진 근사된 장점들과 등고선 데이털 입력으로 하여 제한된 딜로니 삼각분할(Constrained Delaunay Triangulation)을 수행함으로써, 3차원 지형을 재구성할 수 있다. 실험에서 간단한 그리드 샘플데이터와 USGS로 획득한 데이터를 이용하여 속도 측정을 하였다. 결과적으로 저장공간 측면에서 적은 량의 데이터를 가지면서 등고선을 표현할 수 있는 3차원 지형을 랜더링할 수가 있음을 알 수 있다.

We have treated polymer surfaces such as polyethylene, polystyrene and polyester by various physicochemical and biological surface modification methods to be suitable for cell adhesion. The physicochemical methods we used were $O_2$ plasma discharge, corona discharge, sulfuric acid and chloric acid treatments. For the biological treatments, blood proteins such as plasma protein, serum protein and fibronectin were adsorbed onto the polymer surfaces. Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells were cultured on the surface-modified polymers and the cell-compatibility of those surfaces were compared. The chloric acid and fibronectin treatments were found to be the best methods of rendering the polymer surfaces adhesive for CHO cells.

A depth map is an image which contains 3D distance information. Generally, it is difficult to acquire a high resolution (HD), noise-removed, good quality depth map directly from the camera. Therefore, many researches have been focused on acquisition of the high resolution and the good quality depth map by up-sampling and pre/post image processing of the low resolution depth map. However, many researches are lack of effective up-sampling for the edge region which has huge impact on image perceptual-quality. In this paper, we propose an up-sampling method, based on joint bilateral filter, which improves up-sampling of the edge region and visual quality of synthetic images by adopting different weights for the edge parts that is sensitive to human perception characteristics. The proposed method has gains in terms of PSNR and subjective video quality compared to previous researches.

Conventional CT and MRI scans produce cross-section slices of body that are viewed sequentially by radiologists who must imagine or extrapolate from these views what the 3 dimensional anatomy should be. By using sophisticated algorithm and high performance computing, these cross-sections may be rendered as direct 3D representations of human anatomy. The 2D medical image analysis forced to use time-consuming, subjective, error-prone manual techniques, such as slice tracing and region painting, for extracting regions of interest. To overcome the drawbacks of 2D medical image analysis, combining with medical image processing, 3D visualization is essential for extracting anatomical structures and making measurements. We used the gray-level thresholding, region growing, contour following, deformable model to segment human organ and used the feature vectors from texture analysis to detect harmful cancer. We used the perspective projection and marching cube algorithm to render the surface from volumetric MR and CT image data. The 3D visualization of human anatomy and segmented human organ provides valuable benefits for radiation treatment planning, surgical planning, surgery simulation, image guided surgery and interventional imaging applications.

Silkworms, which have for long been used as an insect resource for industrialization, have recently attracted attention as potential bio-factories for the production of novel biomaterials. In this regard, material production is typically achieved based on transformation technology, mediated via microinjection, in which a target gene is inserted into eggs containing an embryo. However, an essential step in the microinjection procedure is egg fixation, which can be a time-consuming and laborious task. Therefore, in this study, using the 3DCADian program, we adopted a 3D printing approach to model egg liners and glue drawers, which can contribute to facilitating egg alignment and fixation, thereby enhancing transformation efficiency by reducing time consumption and fatigue. After rendering using Fusion 360, the two supplementary tools were produced by printing with nylon resin (PA12) and Sinterit Lisa Pro. Subsequent analysis of the time required to fix eggs on glass slides using the two manufactured tools, revealed that the processing time was reduced by approximately 18.6% when the two tools were used compared with when these tools were not used. These innovations not only reduced fatigue but also contributed to more effective use of the microscope and manipulator for microinjection. Consequently, we believe that with additional research and refinement, the egg liner and glue drawer developed in this study could be used to enhance silkworm transformation efficiency and study similar transformation systems in other industrial insects.
