With the popularity of sensor-rich environments, smartphones have become one of the major platforms for obtaining and sharing information. Since it is difficult to utilize GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) inside the area with many buildings, the localization of smartphone in this case is considered as a challenging task. To resolve problem of localization using smartphone a four step image-based localization method and procedure is proposed. To improve the localization accuracy of smartphone datasets, MMS (Mobile Mapping System) and Google Street View were utilized. In our approach first, the searching for candidate matching image is performed by the query image of smartphone's using GNSS observation. Second, the SURF (Speed-Up Robust Features) image matching between the smartphone image and reference dataset is done and the wrong matching points are eliminated. Third, the geometric transformation is performed using the matching points with 2D affine transformation. Finally, the smartphone location and attitude estimation are done by PnP (Perspective-n-Point) algorithm. The location of smartphone GNSS observation is improved from the original 10.204m to a mean error of 3.575m. The attitude estimation is lower than 25 degrees from the 92.4% of the adjsuted images with an average of 5.1973 degrees.

We generalize the widebane P0-weyl symbol (P0WS) and the widebane spreading function (WSF) using the generalized warping function . The new generalized P0WS and WSF are useful for analyzing system and communication channels producing generalized time shifts. We also investigated the relationship between the affine Wey1 symbol(AWS) and the P0WS. By using specific warping functions, we derive new P0WS and WSF as analysis tools for systems and communication channels with non-linear group delary characteristics. The new P0WS preserves specific types of changes imposed on random processes. The new WSF provides a new interpretation of output of system and communication channel as weighted superpositions of non-linear time shifts on the input. It is compared to the conventional method obtaining output of system and communication channel as a convention integration of the input with the impulse response of the system and the communication channel. The convolution integration can be interpreted as weighted superpositions of liner time shifts on the input where the weight is the impulse response of the system and the communication channel. Application examples in analysis and detection demonstrate the advantages of our new results.

In this paper, we propose an automatic hierarchical organ segmentation method on abdominal CT images. First, similar atlases are selected using bone-based similarity registration and similarity of liver, kidney, and pancreas area. Second, each abdominal organ is roughly segmented using image-based similarity registration and intensity-based locally weighted voting. Finally, the segmented abdominal organ is refined using mask-based affine registration and intensity-based locally weighted voting. Especially, gallbladder and pancreas are hierarchically refined using location information of neighbor organs such as liver, left kidney and spleen. Our method was tested on a dataset of 12 portal-venous phase CT data. The average DSC of total organs was $90.47{\pm}1.70%$. Our method can be used for patient-specific abdominal organ segmentation for rehearsal of laparoscopic surgery.

In order to calculate the position of parcel boundary points, the area of the Parcel, and the length of the parcel boundary lines using a digitalized cadastral map or maps, the distortion of the map has to be corrected. The correction methods, such as the method of 2D affine transformation using 4 comer points of the edge lines, the method of tessellation into 9 subregions, the method of using the original surveying sheets, and the method of straightening the 4 edge lines, have been developed. In this Paper, the four methods were programed and applied to some sample cadastral maps and the correction accuracies were obtained and analysed. No method could prefectly correct the distortions because the distortions were irregular throughout the maps. However, it is found that tile method of straightening the 4 edge lines is the one which can minimize the distortions when the method is applied after applying the 2D projective transformation on the maps using the 4 comer points of the edges.

We apply differential affine velocity estimator (DAVE) to the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) 12-min line-of-sight magnetograms, and separately calculate the injected magnetic helicity for the leading and the following polarities of nine emerging bipolar active regions (ARs). Comparing magnetic helicity flux of the leading polarity with the following polarity, we find that six ARs studied in this paper have the following polarity that injected more magnetic helicity flux than that of the leading polarity. We also measure the mean area of each polarity in all the nine ARs, and find that the compact polarity tend to possess more magnetic helicity flux than the fragmented one. Our results confirm the previous studies on asymmetry of magnetic helicity that emerging bipolar ARs have a polarity preference in injecting magnetic helicity. Based on the changes of unsigned magnetic flux, we divide the emergence process into two evolutionary stages: (1) an increasing stage before the peak flux and (2) a constant or decreasing stage after the peak flux. Obvious changes on magnetic helicity flux can be seen during transition from one stage to another. Seven ARs have one or both polarity that changed the sign of magnetic helicity flux. Additionally, the prevailing polarity of the two ARs, which injects more magnetic helicity, changes form the following polarity to the leading one.

In this paper, the epipolar geometry, genera17y used as a pin-hole camera model, is newly adapted to our proposed method that enables the affine reconstruction of the 3D object from two projected views. The proposed method models the projective projection of inherent X-ray imaging system, obviates the need to attach artifirially constructed material on the body, and requires none of the prior-knowledge regarding to intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of two X-ray imaging systems. The optimum numerical solution is obtained by applying the least mean square estimator to corresponding points on two projected X-ray planes. The performance of this proposed method is Quantitatively analyzed using computer synthesized model of Cochlear implantation electrodes. In simulated experiments, the propnsed method is insensitive to the added random noise, the scaling factor change, the center point change, and rotational angular change between two projection planes, as well as enables the stable 3D reconstruction in least square sense even in worst testing cases.

This paper presents a segmental scheme for regions-composed images in local normalization process. The scheme is based on local statistics computed through a moving window. The normalization algorithm uses linear or nonlinear functions to transfer the pixel distribution and the homogeneous affine of regions which is corrupted by additive noise. It adjusts the mean and standard deviation for nearest-neighbor interpoint distance between current and the normalized image signals and changes the segmentation performance according to local statistics and parameter variation adaptively. The performance of newly advanced local normalization algorithm is evaluated and compared to the performance of conventional normalization methods. Experimental results are presented to show the region segmentation properties of these approaches.

Feature matching using image descriptors is robust method used recently. However, mismatches occur in 3D transformed images, illumination-changed images and repetitive-pattern images. In this paper, we observe that there are a lot of mismatches in the images which have repetitive patterns. We analyze it and propose a method to eliminate these mismatches. MDMF(Multiple Descriptors-based Mismatch Filtering) eliminates mismatches by using descriptors of nearest several features of one specific feature point. In experiments, for geometrical transformation like scale, rotation, affine, we compare the match ratio among SIFT, ASIFT and MDMF, and we show that MDMF can eliminate mismatches successfully.

This paper presents the hysteresis friction of a sliding elastomer on various types of surfaces. The hysteresis friction is calculated by means of an analytical model which considers the energy spent by the local deformation of the rubber due to surface asperities. By establishing the fractal character of the surfaces, the contribution to rubber friction of roughness at different length scales is accounted for. High resolution surface profilometer is used in order to calculate the main three surface descriptors and the minimal length scale that can contribute to hysteresis friction. The results show that this friction prediction can be used in order to characterize in an elegant manner the surface morphology of various surfaces and to quantify the friction coefficient of sliding rubber as a function of surface roughness, load and speed.

In general, Digital Photogrammetry is based on independent workstation system, which is costly and has complex process. In this research, a new approach method regarding Digital Photogrammetry procedure is suggested using Web Processing Service, which is a GIS standard proposed by Open Geospatial Consortium. For the experiment, many Generic Processes were defined through WPS profiling procedure which defines standard unit for Photogrammetry, and with the defined process each server and client S/W module was implemented based on WPS standards. In this paper, many users can be expected to share and reuse unit process in WPS server through the web.
