본 논문은 영상 속 객체와 배경의 컬러 특징을 이용한 주요 객체의 자동 추출 방법에 관한 연구이다. 인간이 객체를 판단할 때에는 배경과 객체의 색상 차이를 이용하는데 이러한 요소를 객체 추출 방법에 적용시키기 위해서는 배경과 객체의 색차를 강조하여야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 원 RGB 영상을 인간의 시각 시스템과 유사한 HSV 색 공간으로 변환하고 각기 다른 분포도의 메디안 필터를 적용한 두 개의 영상을 생성한 뒤 두 개의 메디안 필터가 적용된 영상들을 합산하였고 데이터 군집화 방법인 Mean Shift 알고리즘을 적용하여 색상 특징을 그룹화 하였다. 마지막으로 이진화 작업을 위하여 영상의 채널 수를 3 채널에서 1 채널로 정규화 한 뒤 영상 내 픽셀들의 평균값을 임계값으로 이용하는 이진화 방법으로 객체 지도 영상을 생성하였고 주요 객체를 추출하였다.

This study was designed to investigate body image, objective and subjective measurements of body size and shape, eating behavior, and weight control practices in 650 Korean adolescent girls; 500 of the subjects were 14 years old and enrolled in middle schools, while the remaining 150 were 17 years old and enrolled in high schools. Subjects responded anonymously to a self-administered questionnaire. The results showed that average height and weight of the subjects were 157cm and 49.5kg, respectively, while subjects ideal heights and weights averaged 164cm and 48kg, respectively. The ideal adult body heights and weights proposed by the subjects averaged 172cm and 55kg respectively. Over 50% of the subjects were dissatisfied with their body image; the degree of dissatisfaction with body image was higher in those who believed themselves to be fat. Most of the subjects wanted to lose weight and had tried to lose weight. Self-reported weight control practice methods included reducing food intake (31.9%), skipping meals (29.6%), exercise (25.8%), using slimming machines (6.9%), and using diet pills (5.1%). The heavier the subjects weight was, the greater the difference between the subjective and objective evaluations of body size. The body image scores of subjects who perceived themselves as fat were significantly lower than those of subjects who perceived themselves as normal or underweight. The difference between subjective and objective evaluations of body size, and the degree of obesity, were significantly higher in those subjects who had experience of weight control than those who had no experience of weight control. These results suggest that nutrition and health education programs for adolescent girls should be researched and implemented in order to establish a more realistic body image, positive habits in weight control, and healthful eating habits.

Respiratory-induced dynamic tumors render free-breathing cone-beam computed tomography (FBCBCT) images with motion artifacts complicating the task of quantifying the internal target volume (ITV). The purpose of this paper is to study the visibility of the revealed ITV when the imaging dose parameters, such as the kVp and mAs, are varied. The $Trilogy^{TM}$ linear accelerator with an On-Board Imaging ($OBI^{TM}$) system was used to acquire low-imaging-dose-mode (LIDM: 110 kVp, 20 mA, 20 ms/frame) and high-imaging-dose-mode (HIDM: 125 kVp, 80 mA, 25 ms/frame) FBCBCT images of a 3-cm diameter sphere (density=0.855 $g/cm^3$) moving in accordance to various sinusoidal breathing patterns, each with an unique inhalation-to-exhalation (I/E) ratio, amplitude, and period. In terms of image ITV contrast, there was a small overall average change of the ITV contrast when going from HIDM to LIDM of $6.5{\pm}5.1%$ for all breathing patterns. As for the ITV visible volume measurements, there was an insignificant difference between the ITV of both the LIDM- and HIDM-FBCBCT images with an average difference of $0.5{\pm}0.5%$, for all cases, despite the large difference in the imaging dose (approximately five-fold difference of ~0.8 and 4 cGy/scan). That indicates that the ITV visibility is not very sensitive to changes in imaging dose. However, both of the FBCBCT consistently underestimated the true ITV dimensions by up to 34.8% irrespective of the imaging dose mode due to significant motion artifacts, and thus, this imaging technique is not adequate to accurately visualize the ITV for image guidance. Due to the insignificant impact of imaging dose on ITV visibility, a plausible, alternative strategy would be to acquire more X-ray projections at the LIDM setting to allow 4DCBCT imaging to better define the ITV, and at the same time, maintain a reasonable imaging dose, i.e., comparable to a single HIDM-FBCBCT scan.

The shape of crotch area is very important to develop functional clothing as well as other ergonomic goods such as chair or saddle etc. However, it is inevitable that 3D scanned image of crotch would have missing part due to its folded shape including overlapping legs nearby. Therefore, the objectives of this research was to compare reconstruction methods of missing parts at crotch using seven dummies of real men's replicas. Two reconstruction methods adopted were kinds of 'fill- hole' in Rapidform 2004, one was 'smooth' and the other was 'curvature'. Each restored image was compared with the original shape of the dummies. As results, the average distance was 0.66mm between original and 'smooth' treated images and 0.59mm between original and 'curvature' treated, which was not statistically different. Average area of restored crotch region was $8740.04cm^2$ by 'smooth' method and $8405.02cm^2$ by 'curvature' method which is close to the original area of $8413.76cm^2$. Statistical difference was found between images of original and 'smooth' ones$(p=0.04^*)$. However, there was no difference between original and 'curvature' treated images, which indicates that 'curvature' method is more useful to fill the hole compared with 'smooth' method.

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to improve the contrast ratio, to preserve information of bright regions and to maintain the color of backlight image that appears with a great relative contrast. Backlight images of the natural environment have characteristics for difference of local brightness; the overall image contrast improvement is not easy. To improve the contrast of the backlight images, MSR (Multi-Scale Retinex) algorithm using the existing multi-scale Gaussian filter is applied. However, existing multi-scale Gaussian filter involves color distortion and information loss of bright regions due to excessive contrast enhancement and noise because of the brightness improvement of dark regions. Moreover, it also increases computational complexity due to the use of multi-scale Gaussian filter. In order to solve these problems, a linear MSR is performed that reduces the amount of computation from the HSV color space preventing the color distortion and information loss due to excessive contrast enhancement. It can also remove the noise of the dark regions which is occurred due to the improved contrast through edge preserving filter. Through experimental evaluation of the average color difference comparison of CIELAB color space and the visual assessment, we have confirmed excellent performance of the proposed algorithm compared to conventional MSR algorithm.

In this study, we constructed a preview-sensing visual sensor system for weld seam tracking in real time in GMA welding. A sensor part consists of a CCD camera, a band-pass filter, a diode laser system with a cylindrical lens, and a vision board for inter frame process. We used a commercialized robot system which includes a GMA welding machine. To extract the weld seam we used a inter frame process in vision board from that we could remove the noise due to the spatters and fume in the image. Since the image was very reasonable by using the inter frame process, we could use the simplest way to extract the weld seam from the image, such as first differential and central difference method. Also we used a moving average method to the successive position data of weld seam for reducing the data fluctuation. In experiment the developed robot system with visual sensor could be able to track a most popular weld seam, such as a fillet-joint, a V-groove, and a lap-joint of which weld seam include planar and height directional variation.

핵의학 간담도 검사 시, 담낭의 수축력을 정량적으로 평가하기 위하여 지방식(fatty meal)을 이용한 전면상에서의 담낭박출률(gallbladder ejection fraction ; GB EF%)을 진단에 이용하고 있다. 하지만, 담낭과 다른 구조물이 전면상에서 겹쳐질 경우, 담낭 박출률 평가가 정확히 이루어지지 않는다. 이러한 오차를 줄이기 위해 본 연구에서는 전면상과 우측 측면상에서 계산한 GBEF%의 유의한 차이가 있는 지 알아보고자 한다. 본원에 내원한 임의의 환자 50명을 대상으로 $^{99m}Tc$-Mebrofenin 370 MBq를 정맥주사 후 간담도 검사를 실행하였다. 검사는 SKYLIGHT(Philips, United States)을 이용하여 10분, 20분, 30분, 60분, 그리고 지방식(치즈와 우유)을 시행하고 30분 후에 90분 째, 전면상과 우측 측면 영상을 획득하였다. JETstream workspace 프로그램에서 60분째와 90분째 전면상과 우측 측면상에서 GBEF%을 구하였다. 보다 정확한 관심영역 설정을 위해 CT영상을 참고하였고, 4명의 방사선사가 동일한 영상에서의 GBEF%을 구하여 평균값을 계산하였다. 통계분석프로그램SPSS version23(SPSS Inc. USA)을 이용하여 전면상과 우측 측면상에서 GBEF%의 차이에 유의한 차이가 있는지 평가하였다. 무작위 50명 환자의 전면상에서 GBEF%의 평균값은 63.2고, 우측 측면상에서 GBEF%의 평균값은 62.7으로 전면상 대비 우측 측면상에서 0.5% 감소하였다. 전면상과 우측 측면상에서 GBEF%의 대응표본 t-검정 결과 P>0.05으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 이를 통해 전면상에서 담낭과 다른 구조물이 분리되지 않아 담낭박출률의 오차가 발생하는 경우, 우측 측면상을 이용하여 GBEF%을계산하면 보다 더 정확한 담낭박출률이 평가되는 것으로 사료된다.
