In the paper, we propose the methodology to extract training dataset automatically for supervised classification of road networks. For the preprocessing, we co-register the airborne photos, LIDAR data and large-scale digital maps and then, create orthophotos and intensity images. By overlaying the large-scale digital maps onto generated images, we can extract the initial training dataset for the supervised classification of road networks. However, the initial training information is distorted because there are errors propagated from registration process and, also, there are generally various objects in the road networks such as asphalt, road marks, vegetation, cars and so on. As such, to generate the training information only for the road surface, we apply the Expectation Maximization technique and finally, extract the training dataset of the road surface. For the accuracy test, we compare the training dataset with manually extracted ones. Through the statistical tests, we can identify that the developed method is valid.

Images captured by drone have the advantage of quickly constructing spatial information in small areas and are applied to fields that require quick decision making. If an image registration technique that can automatically register the drone image on the ortho-image with the ground coordinate system is applied, it can be used for various analyses. In this study, a methodology for geo-referencing of a single image and sequential images using drones was proposed even if they differ in spatio-temporal resolution using linear features and distinct points. Through the method using linear features, projective transformation parameters for the initial geo-referencing between images were determined, and then finally the geo-referencing of the image was performed through the template matching for distinct points that can be extracted from the images. Experimental results showed that the accuracy of the geo-referencing was high in an area where relief displacement of the terrain was not large. On the other hand, there were some errors in the quantitative aspect of the area where the change of the terrain was large. However, it was considered that the results of geo-referencing of the sequential images could be fully utilized for the qualitative analysis.

Recently, many Earth observation optical satellites have been developed, as their demands were increasing. Therefore, a rapid preprocessing of satellites became one of the most important problem for an active utilization of satellite images. Satellite image matching is a technique in which two images are transformed and represented in one specific coordinate system. This technique is used for aligning different bands or correcting of relative positions error between two satellite images. In this paper, we propose an automatic image matching method among satellite images with different ground sampling distances (GSDs). Our method is based on improved feature matching and robust estimation of transformation between satellite images. The proposed method consists of five processes: calculation of overlapping area, improved feature detection, feature matching, robust estimation of transformation, and image resampling. For feature detection, we extract overlapping areas and resample them to equalize their GSDs. For feature matching, we used Oriented FAST and rotated BRIEF (ORB) to improve matching performance. We performed image registration experiments with images KOMPSAT-3A and RapidEye. The performance verification of the proposed method was checked in qualitative and quantitative methods. The reprojection errors of image matching were in the range of 1.277 to 1.608 pixels accuracy with respect to the GSD of RapidEye images. Finally, we confirmed the possibility of satellite image matching with heterogeneous GSDs through the proposed method.

In this paper, we propose a method aiming at updating the building information of the digital maps using single high resolution satellite image and digital map. Firstly we produced a digital orthoimage through the automatic co-registration of QuickBird image and 1:1,000 digital map. Secondly we extracted building height information through the template matching of digital map's building vector data and the image's edges obtained by Canny operator. Finally we refined the shape of some buildings by using the result from template matching as the seed polygon of the greedy snake algorithm. In order to evaluate the proposed method's effectiveness, we estimated accuracy of the extracted building information using LiDAR DSM and 1:1,000 digital map. The evaluation results showed the proposed method has a good potential for extraction and revision of building information.

With rapid spread of handheld devices like cellular or smart phones, a short message service (SMS) comes on the public as a communication means. SMS is very cheap and can be easily written down on the storage in order not to forget it, hence it is widely used to inform schedules (time and place). In this paper, we develop a system for automatically registering schedules extracted from SMS text messages. SMS text messages are very short and concise, but include a lot of Internet words like slangs and abbreviations. These have made it difficult to extract information on schedules from them. Also handheld devices have some limitations on computing power and storage and then applying general natural language processing modules like morphological analysis to the devices are somewhat hard. To relax these burdens, we extract schedule informations from SMS messages using machine learning methods like condition random field (CRF) without using any language processing modules and register the informations on the schedule management system of handheld devices. Our proposed automatic schedule registration system has implemented on Samsung Omnia phone for experiments.

Purpose: Brain surface intensity model (BSIM)-based cortical thickness analysis does not require complicated 3D segmentation of brain gray/white matters. Instead, this technique uses the local intensity profile to compute cortical thickness. The aim of the present study was to evaluate intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of BSIM-based cortical thickness analysis using images from elderly participants. Materials and Methods: Fifteen healthy elderly participants (ages, 55-84 years) were included in this study. High-resolution 3D T1-spoiled gradient recalled-echo (SPGR) images were obtained using 3T MRI. BSIM-based processing steps included an inhomogeneity correction, intensity normalization, skull stripping, atlas registration, extraction of intensity profiles, and calculation of cortical thickness. Processing steps were automatic, with the exception of semiautomatic skull stripping. Individual cortical thicknesses were compared to a database indicating mean cortical thickness of healthy adults, in order to produce Z-score thinning maps. Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated in order to evaluate inter-rater and intra-rater reliabilities. Results: ICCs for intra-rater reliability were excellent, ranging from 0.751-0.940 in brain regions except the right occipital, left anterior cingulate, and left and right cerebellum (ICCs = 0.65-0.741). Although ICCs for inter-rater reliability were fair to excellent in most regions, poor inter-rater correlations were observed for the cingulate and occipital regions. Processing time, including manual skull stripping, was $17.07{\pm}3.43min$. Z-score maps for all participants indicated that cortical thicknesses were not significantly different from those in the comparison databases of healthy adults. Conclusion: BSIM-based cortical thickness measurements provide acceptable intra-rater and inter-rater reliability. We therefore suggest BSIM-based cortical thickness analysis as an adjunct clinical tool to detect cortical atrophy.

In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional (3D) scanning system based on two line lasers. This system uses two line lasers with different wavelengths as light sources. 532-nm and 630-nm line lasers can compensate for missing scan data generated by geometrical occlusion. It also can classify two laser planes by using the red and green channels. For automatic registration of scanning data, we control a stepping motor and divide the motor's rotational degree of freedom into micro-steps. To this end, we design a control printed circuit board for the laser and stepping motor, and use an image processing board. To compute a 3D point cloud, we obtain 200 and 400 images with laser lines and segment lines on the images at different degrees of rotation. The segmented lines are thinned for one-to-one matching of an image pixel with a 3D point.

Recently in domestic market, the telecommunication and appliance companies actively provide IoT home service through their dedicated smart device and communication network. But because their service should use only their own devices and be payed by monthly, it does not satisfy user's needs. So, users want device and service environment that can be easily configured according to user needs. Therefore, in this paper, we propose IoT home service environment architecture and ACOME(Auto-Configuration of MQTT and REST) mechanism. The proposed architecture consists of IoT platform and IoT home gateway. And the ACOME provides the automatic registration using DPWS function and interface construction using MQTT. This implements as a library for open-source hardware such as Arduino that is easy to get on the market. So the user easy to make own IoT device. Finally, we provide performance evaluation about service and device discovery between ACOME and DPWS.

본 논문에서는 4-조각 전립선 병리조직 영상을 기하 보정 및 강체 정합하여 자동 스티칭하는 방법을 제안한다. 4-조각 병리영상에 대하여 총 3번의 스티칭을 수행하는데, 좌, 우 조각영상의 상, 하 영상 간 스티칭을 각각 수행 한 후 좌, 우 조각 영상 간 스티칭을 수행한다. 강체 정합 전 병리 조각의 코너를 이용해 x-축, y-축 방향의 위치보정과 회전보정을 수행하는 기하보정 단계를 거침으로서 지역적 최적해로의 수렴을 방지하며, 강체 정합의 정확성을 높인다. 병리영상은 전체적으로 밝기값이 유사하므로 밝기값이 아닌 외곽선 정보를 이용하여 조각 영상간의 거리를 최소화시켜 강체 정합한다. 실험 결과, 4-조각 전립선 병리조직 영상이 지역적 최적해에 수렴하지 않고, 조각 영상 간 거리를 최소화 하며, 하나로 스티칭 됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 제안 방법의 총 수행 시간은 평균 10.32초로 측정되었다. 본 논문의 제안 방법은 4조각으로 나뉜 전립선 병리조직 영상을 하나로 스티칭 함으로서 해당 조직의 전체 구조 파악 및 조직 내에서의 암의 위치 파악에 사용 될 수 있으며 이를 통한 전립선암의 확진에도 사용 될 수 있다.
