Major quality features of the beef carcass in most countries including Korea are size, marbling state of the lean tissue, color of the fat and lean tissue, and thickness of back fat of the 13th rib. To evaluate the beef quality, extracting loin parts from the sectional image of the 13th beef rib is crucial and is the first step. However, because of the inhomogeneous distribution and fuzzy pattern of the fat and lean tissues on the beef cut, it is difficult to extract automatically the proper contour of the lean tissue. In this paper, a prototype mobile beef quality measurement system, which can be implemented practically at the beef processing site was developed. The developed system was composed of the hand held image acquisition unit and mobile processing unit mounted with touch-pad screen. Algorithms to extract the boundary of the lean tissue and a proper tool to evaluate the marbling status have been developed using color image processing. The boundary extraction algorithm showed successful results for the beef cuts with simple and moderate patterns of the lean tissue and fat. However, it had some difficulty in eliminating complex pattern of the extraneous tissues adhered to the lean tissue in the boundary extraction. The developed algorithms were implemented to the prototype mobile processing unit.

Extraction treatment has been used for a long time to treat crowding or lip protrusion patients and still extraction decision is the most difficult and important decision during diagnosis and treatment planning. If the amount of crowidng is severe, premolar extraction is often considered. Because of their location, premolar extractions would seem to allow for the most straightforward relief of crowding and the improvement of soft tissue profile. But patients and their parents often prefer nonextraction approach if possible and such a preference gives us serious question about the boundary of nonextraction treatment. Because Orthodontic Mini-Implant (OMI) become popular these days, distalization of posterior teeth can be obtained easily without patient's compliance. For this reason, many orthodontists are trying to treat crowding patient with nonextraction than before. But sometime, unexpected side effects are observed including unesthetic profile, impaction of second molar and long treatment time. All the tools for space gaining - extraction, arch expansion, molar distalization and interproximal enamel reduction - have their limitations and indications. Possible side effects and limitations should be carefully considered during the treatment planning. Although Korean patients usually require extraction more often than US or European patients, more knowledge about the tools for space gaining would help us to decrease the rate of extraction and the problems during treatment of crowding patients.

One of the major topic of tokamak research is the determination of the magnetic profile due to magnetic coil fields and plasma current by mean of data from magnetic probes. The most practical approach is to use the current filament method, which models the plasma column with multiple current carrying filaments and the total current of these filaments is equal to the plasma current. Determining the plasma boundary in Alvand-U tokamak is the main purpose of this paper. In order to determine the magnetic field profile and plasma boundary, information concerning the magnetic coils, their position, and current is required in the computing code. Then, the plasma shape is determined and finally the plasma boundary is extracted by the code. In the conducted research, we discuss how to determine the plasma boundary and the performance of the computing code for extraction of the plasma boundary. The developed algorithm shows to be effective by running it in the regular pc machine with characteristics of Intel (R) core (TM) i3-10100 CPU @3.60 GHz and 8.00 GB of RAM. Finally, we present results of a test run for computing code using a typical experimental pulse.

LiDAR data is very large, which contains an amount of redundant information. The information not only takes up a lot of storage space but also brings much inconvenience to the LIDAR data transmission and application. Therefore, a simplified method was proposed for LiDAR data based on quad-tree structure in this paper. The boundary contour lines of the buildings are displayed as building extraction. Experimental results show that the method is efficient for point's simplification according to the rule of mapping.

This paper proposes a capacitance extraction algorithm based on boundary element method and describes the implemented 2-dimension extractor based on the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm uses a generalized conjugate residual iterative algorithm with a hierarchical subdivision. The implemented 2-D extractor computes the capacitances of complicated 2-D geometry of ideal conductors in uniform dielectric and can be efficiently used in the VLSI layout designs due to its user-friendly GUI.

The extraction of attention NPC in a FPS game has emerged as a very significant issue. We propose an efficient FPS game operation method, using the attention NPC extraction with a simple arithmetic. First, we define the NPC, using the color histogram interaction and texture similarity in the block to determine the attention NPC. Next, we use the histogram of movement distribution and frequency of movement of the NPC. Becasue, except for the block boundary according to the texture and to extract only the boundaries of the object block. The edge strength is defined to have high values at the NPC object boundaries, while it is designed to have relatively low values at the NPC texture boundaries or in interior of a region. The region merging method also adopts the color histogram intersection technique in order to use color distribution in each region. Through the experiment, we confirmed that NPC has played a crucial role in the FPS game and as a result it draws more speed and strategic actions in the game.

This paper proposed a practical method for building detection and extraction using airborne laser scanning data. The proposed method consists mainly of two processes: low and high level processes. The major distinction from the previous approaches is that we introduce a concept of pseudogrid (or binning) into raw laser scanning data to avoid the loss of information and accuracy due to interpolation as well as to define the adjacency of neighboring laser point data and to speed up the processing time. The approach begins with pseudo-grid generation, noise removal, segmentation, grouping for building detection, linearization and simplification of building boundary , and building extraction in 3D vector format. To achieve the efficient processing, each step changes the domain of input data such as point and pseudo-grid accordingly. The experimental results shows that the proposed method is promising.

Documents contain information that can be used for various applications, such as question answering (QA) system, information retrieval (IR) system, and recommendation system. To use the information, it is necessary to develop a method of extracting such information from the documents written in a form of natural language. There are several kinds of the information (e.g., temporal information, spatial information, semantic role information), where different kinds of information will be extracted with different methods. In this paper, the existing studies about the methods of extracting the temporal information are reported and several related issues are discussed. The issues are about the task boundary of the temporal information extraction, the history of the annotation languages and shared tasks, the research issues, the applications using the temporal information, and evaluation metrics. Although the history of the tasks of temporal information extraction is not long, there have been many studies that tried various methods. This paper gives which approach is known to be the better way of extracting a particular part of the temporal information, and also provides a future research direction.

In this paper we introduce a new circle detection algorithm for occluded on/off pupil and iris boundary extraction. The proposed algorithm employs 7-step processing to detect a center and radius of occluded on/off eye images using the property of the chords. The algorithm deals with two types of occluded pupil and iris boundary information; one is composed of circle-shaped, incomplete objects, which is called occluded on iris images and the other type consists of arc objects in which circular information has partially disappeared, called occluded off iris images. This method shows that the center and radius of iris boundary can be detected from as little as one-third of the occluded on/off iris information image. It is also shown that the proposed algorithm computed the center and radius of the incomplete iris boundary information which has partially occluded and disappeared. Experimental results on RGB images and IR images show that the proposed method has encouraging performance of boundary detection for pupil and iris segmentation. The experimental results show satisfactorily the detection of circle from incomplete circle shape information which is occluded as well as the detection of pupil/iris boundary circle of the occluded on/off image.
