선박 객체 검출 기술은 입력된 비디오 및 영상 데이터에서 선박 객체가 존재하는 경우 선박의 위치를 검출하는 기술로서 입력 영상의 환경 변화와 잡음의 영향에 따라서 검출 정확도의 편차가 높다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 배경 구축 기법과 형태학적 연산 기반의 다중 선박 객체 검출 기술을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 배경 제거 단계, 잡음 제거 단계, 객체 기준 위치 설정 단계, 객체 재구성 단계, 다중 객체 검출 단계 등 5단계를 거쳐서 선박을 검출한다. 다양한 변수를 고려한 15가지 실험 비디오를 대상으로 한 실험을 통해서 98.7%의 검출율을 나타내었으며, 환경 변화에 강인한 검출을 수행하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 제안하는 방법은 해상 관제와 선박 자동 운항 기술의 기반 기술로서 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

This study proposes a novel video traffic flow detection method based on machine vision technology. The three-frame difference method, which is one kind of a motion evaluation method, is used to establish initial background image, and then a statistical scoring strategy is chosen to update background image in real time. Finally, the background difference method is used for detecting the moving objects. Meanwhile, a simple but effective shadow elimination method is introduced to improve the accuracy of the detection for moving objects. Furthermore, the study also proposes a vehicle matching and tracking strategy by combining characteristics, such as vehicle's location information, color information and fractal dimension information. Experimental results show that this detection method could quickly and effectively detect various traffic flow parameters, laying a solid foundation for enhancing the degree of automation for traffic management.

비디오를 이용한 비전기반 감시에서 움직이는 객체의 추적은 GMM (Gaussian Mixture Model)을 사용한 배경영상과 현재영상의 차이법을 이용한다. 문턱치를 통해 생성된 이진영상을 이용하여 객체 추적을 할 경우 객체 정보가 아닌 그림자에 의하여 객체가 병합되는 현상이 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 신경망(Backpropagation Neural Network)을 이용하여 그림자를 제거하는 방법을 제안하였다. 10개의 동영상에서 객체영역과 캐스트그림자(Cast-Shadow)영역의 훈련용 이미지에서 특징 값을 추출하여 신경망을 훈련시켰다. 캐스트그림자를 제거하는 방법은 이진영상의 객체로 추정되는 영역에서 그림자를 분리하는 방법을 기초로 하며 기존의 그림자 제거 알고리즘 (SNP, SP, DNM1, DNM2, CNCC)보다 그림자 제거 성능이 (16.2%, 38.2%, 28.1%, 22.3%, 44.4%)로 높게 나타났다.

[ $^{222}Rn\;and\;^{226}Ra$ ] in groundwater were determined simultaneously using a gamma-spectroscopy. A nitrogen flushing equipment has been used for elimination and stabilization of high and unstable background activity due to the radon and its progenies in counting shield and room. The aim of present work was to control the background activity for simultaneous measurement of radium$(^{226}Ra)$ and radon$(^{222}Rn)$ in groundwater using a gamma-spectrometry. Background activity was about 1.0dps and the standard deviation was about 50%, The background activity could be minimized using nitrogen flushing equipment in the range of 0.1 to 0.5 and the RSD was about 5% at the experimental condition. The detection limit of $^{222}Rn\;and\;^{226}Ra$ in groundwater was 0.5dps/L in the background control method. In most groundwater used in the work, radon activity was more than the detection limit. However, radium activity in some groundwater was less than the detection limit. If the low level radium in groundwater must be measured, preconcentration process such as concentration should be performed before measuring the groundwater.

Background: Bioprostheses for cardiovascular surgery have limitations in their use following as calicification. ${\alpha}$-galactosidase epitope is known as a stimulant of immune response and then shows a progressing calcification. The objective of this study was to evaluate histologic characteristics and mechanical properties of decellularization and treated with ${\alpha}$-galactosidase. Materials and Methods: Bovine pericardial tissues were allocated into three groups: fixation only with glutaraldehyde, decellularization with sodium dodesyl sulfate and decellularization plus treatment with ${\alpha}$-galactosidase. We confirmed immunohistological characteristics and mechanical properties as fatigue test, permeability test, compliance test, tensile strength (strain) test and thermal stability test. Results: Decellularization and elimination of ${\alpha}$-gal were confirmed through immunohistologic findings. Decellularization had decreased mechanical properties compared to fixation only group in permeability (before fatigue test p=0.02, after fatigue test p=0.034), compliance (after fatigue test p=0.041), and tensile strength test (p=0.00). The group of decellularization plus treatment with ${\alpha}$-galactosidase had less desirable mechanical properties than the group of decellularization in concerns of permeability (before fatigue test p=0.043) and strain test (p=0.001). Conclusion: Favorable decellularization and elimination of ${\alpha}$-gal were obtained in this study through immunohistologic findings. However, those treatment including decellularization and elimination of ${\alpha}$-gal implied the decreased mechanical properties in specific ways. We need more study to complete appropriate bioprosthesis with decellularization and elimination of ${\alpha}$-gal including favorable mechanical properties too.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Mediterranean diet is an environmentally friendly and healthy diet model. The diet offers many vegetables, fruits, nuts, and olive oil to consumers. In addition, it provides moderate amounts of fish and chicken, smaller quantities of dairy products, red meat, and processed meat. The Mediterranean diet has a high anti-inflammatory and antioxidant content, and it causes many physiological changes that can provide a physical performance advantage. This study examined the effects of a 15-day menu, which was planned using foods with a low acid load within the Mediterranean diet rules, on the exercise performance, lactate elimination, anthropometric measurements, and body composition. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Fifteen professional male athletes between the ages of 13 and 18, who were engaged in ski running, were included in the experimental study. Dietary intervention was applied for 15 days. The athlete performances were evaluated by applying the vertical jump test, hand grip strength, 20 meters shuttle run test, and Borg fatigue scale. After the shuttle run test (every 3 min for 30 min), blood was drawn from the finger, and the lactate elimination time was calculated. Performance and lactate measurements, body analysis, and anthropometric measurements were taken before and after dietary intervention. RESULTS: The vertical jump height and hand grip strength increased after the intervention (P < 0.05). The test duration, total distance, the number of shuttles, and maximum oxygen consumption parameters of the shuttle run test increased (P < 0.05). After the intervention, the athletes' perceived fatigue scores decreased in several stages of the shuttle run test (P < 0.05). The lactate elimination time and athlete's body composition were similar in repeated measurements (P > 0.05). In the last measurements, the upper middle arm circumference decreased while the height of the athletes increased (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: These results show that the Mediterranean diet is a safe and feasible dietary approach for aerobic performance and strength increase.

We present a fast reduction method of survey data obtained using a single-dish radio telescope. Along with a brief review of classical method, a new method of identification and elimination of negative and positive bad channels are introduced using cloud identification code and several IRAF (Image Reduction and Analysis Facility) tasks relating statistics. Removing of several ripple patterns using Fourier Transform is also discussed. It is found that BACKGROUND task within IRAF is very efficient for fitting and subtraction of base-line with varying functions. Cloud identification method along with the possibility of its application for analysis of cloud structure is described, and future data reduction method is discussed.

이동 물체의 검출은 비디오 감시, 보행자의 행동 분석과 같은 컴퓨터 시각 분야에서 매우 중요한 전처리 작업이다. 이는 실제 외부 환경을 대상으로 할 때, 영상 시퀀스에 존재하는 배경의 불규칙한 움직임, 조명 변화, 그림자, 배경 물체의 위상 변화 및 잡음 등으로 인하여 매우 어려운 작업이다. 본 논문에서는 코드북 기반의 전경 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 코드북은 입력 영상으로부터 얻어지는 배경화소에 대한 정보 데이터베이스이다. 먼저, 첫 번째 프레임을 배경 영상으로 가정하고 이를 입력 영상과 비교하여 차 영상을 구한다. 구해진 차 영상에는 순수한 이동 물체뿐만 아니라, 잡음까지 포함된다. 둘째로, 전경으로 검출된 화소의 색상과 밝기 값을 가지고 코드북을 조사하여 존재하는 경우 잘못 추출된 전경 화소로 판단하고 전경에서 제거한다. 마지막으로, 다음번 입력되는 프레임을 반복 처리하기 위하여 배경 영상을 새롭게 갱신하는데, 배경 화소로 검출된 화소의 경우에는 현재의 입력 영상으로부터 추정되며, 전경 화소로 검출된 경우에는 이전 배경 영상의 화소 값을 복사하여 사용한다. 제안한 알고리즘을 PETS2009 데이터에 적용한 결과를 GMM 알고리즘과 표준 코드북 알고리즘의 결과와 비교하여 보인다.

Many hand gesture recognition systems using advanced computer vision techniques to eliminate the need for a TV remote controller have been proposed. Nevertheless, some issues still remain, such as high computational complexity and insufficient information on the target object and background. Moreover, none of the proposed techniques consider how to enter the control mode of the system. This means that they may need a TV remote controller to enter the control mode. This paper proposes a hand mouse system using a pre-defined gesture with high background adaptability. By doing so, a remote controller to enter the control mode of the IPTV system can be eliminated.
