As one of the pivotal techniques of image restoration, single-channel blind source separation (SCBSS) is capable of converting a visual-only image into multi-source images. However, image degradation often results from multiple mixing methods. Therefore, this paper introduces an innovative SCBSS algorithm to effectively separate source images from a composite image in various mixed modes. The cornerstone of this approach is a novel triple generative adversarial network (TriGAN), designed based on dual learning principles. The TriGAN redefines the discriminator's function to optimize the separation process. Extensive experiments have demonstrated the algorithm's capability to distinctly separate source images from a composite image in diverse mixed modes and to facilitate effective image restoration. The effectiveness of the proposed method is quantitatively supported by achieving an average peak signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 30 dB, and the average structural similarity index surpassing 0.95 across multiple datasets.

In this research, we report the preliminary results of an insertional type parallel transmission (pTx) array that has 7-elements that are placed in the space above a patient table as a transmit (Tx) coil to give an RF transmission ($B_1{^+}$) field for the body object of a 3 Tesla (T) MRI system. In previous research, we have tried to compare the performances of different coil elements and array geometries for a pTx body image. Based on these results, we attempt to obtain a human image with the proposed pTx array. Through the simulation and experimental results, we introduce a possible structure of multi-channel Tx array and verify the utility of a multi-channel Tx body image using $B_1{^+}$ shimming. The insertional pTx array, combined with a receiver (Rx) array coil, provides an enhanced $B_1{^+}$ field homogeneity in a large ROI image as a result of $B_1{^+}$ shimming applied over the full body size object. Through this research, we hope to determine the usefulness of the proposed insertional type RF coil combination for 3 T body imaging.

Since scene segmentation is becoming a hot topic in the field of autonomous driving and medical image analysis, researchers are actively trying new methods to improve segmentation accuracy. At present, the main issues in image semantic segmentation are intra-class inconsistency and inter-class indistinction. From our analysis, the lack of global information as well as macroscopic discrimination on the object are the two main reasons. In this paper, we propose a Densely connected residual Attention network (DA-Res2Net) which consists of a dense residual network and channel attention guidance module to deal with these problems and improve the accuracy of image segmentation. Specifically, in order to make the extracted features equipped with stronger multi-scale characteristics, a densely connected residual network is proposed as a feature extractor. Furthermore, to improve the representativeness of each channel feature, we design a Channel-Attention-Guide module to make the model focusing on the high-level semantic features and low-level location features simultaneously. Experimental results show that the method achieves significant performance on various datasets. Compared to other state-of-the-art methods, the proposed method reaches the mean IOU accuracy of 83.2% on PASCAL VOC 2012 and 79.7% on Cityscapes dataset, respectively.

색각 이상자의 색지각은 색 이미지의 색 공간 변환을 사용하여 가능하다. 적록 색각이상자에게, G채널를 극대화(+100)한 경우, G채널를 최소화(-100)한 경우, R채널만 극대화(+100)한 경우, R 채널을 CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ 색 공간에서 $b^*$ 좌표의 (-)값인 황색(Y) 채널로 변환 시킨 경우, B채녈(청)과 G채널(록)로 만 분리하고 다시 명암차로 나타낸 경우, RGB 채널 변환 및 채도를 분리시킨 후 명암만으로 이미지를 얻는 경우 등에 의해 색지각이 가능하다.

A new type broadband channel dropping filter which has a potential use as a millimeter-wave multiplexer has been realized by properly connecting 3-dB directional couplers and bandstop filters. 90\ulcorner3-dB directional couplers have been designed using two nonuniformly coupled dielectric image guides, while bandstop filters with Chebyshev passbands have been designed using dielectric image-guide grating structure. Effective dielectric constant method has been aplied to the image-guide dispersion analysis and to the design of bandstop gratings and 3-dB couplers. Experimental results in excellent agreement with computed responses are demonstrated.

In this paper, we propose a joint coding system for still images using source coding and powerful error correcting code schemes. Our system comprises an LVQ (lattice vector quantization) source coding for wavelet transformed images and turbo coding for channel coding. The parameters of the image encoder and channel encoder have been optimized for an n-D (dimension) cubic lattice (D$_{n}$, Z$_{n}$), parallel concatenation fur two simple RSC (recursive systematic convolutional code) and an interleaver. For decoding the received image in the case of the AWGN (additive white gaussian noise) channel, we used an iterative joint source-channel decoding algorithm for a SISO (soft-input soft-output) MAP (maximum a posteriori) module. The performance of transmission system has been evaluated in the PSNR, BER and iteration times. A very small degradation of the PSNR and an improvement in BER were compared to a system without joint source-channel decoding at the input of the receiver.ver.

압축된 정지 영상이나 비디오 비트열들은 무선채널에서 채널 에러의 보호가 요구된다. Embedded Zero Coding(EZW)와 SPIHT는 낮은 복합도의 영상압축에서 매우 우수한 성능을 제공하여준다. 무선 채널의 전송상의 문제로 인해 비트 에러가 발생하게 되면 부호화와 복호화 사이의 동기를 잃어버리게 되어 심각한 성능의 저하를 일으키게 된다. 그러나 웨이브렛 제로코딩 알고리즘은 에러에 매우 민감한 가변 길이 코드워드가 생성된다. 이 논문의 아이디어는 리프팅 계수들을 분할하는 것이다. 리프팅 변환들의 많은 분할이 무선채널의 채널 에러를 각 분할로 분배된다. 그래서 정지 영상이나 비디오 스트림에서 영상 왜곡을 야기 시키는 동기화 문제가 개선되었다.

Purpose: Facial trauma is increasing along with increasing popularity in sports, and increasing exposure to crimes or traffic accidents. Compared to the 3D CT of 1990s, the latest CT has made significant improvement thus resulting in higher accuracy of diagnosis. The objective of this study is to compare 64 channel 3 dimensional volume CT(3D VCT) with conventional 3D CT in the diagnosis and treatment of facial bone fractures. Methods: 45 patients with facial trauma were examined by 3D VCT from Jan. 2006 to Feb. 2007. 64 channel 3D VCT which consists of 64 detectors produce axial images of 0.625 mm slice and it scans 175 mm per second. These images are transformed into 3 dimensional image using software Rapidia 2.8. The axial image is reconstructed into 3 dimensional image by volume rendering method. The image is also reconstructed into coronal or sagittal image by multiplanar reformatting method. Results: Contrasting to the previous 3D CT which formulates 3D images by taking axial images of 1-2 mm, 64 channel 3D VCT takes 0.625 mm thin axial images to obtain full images without definite step ladder appearance. 64 channel 3D VCT is effective in diagnosis of thin linear bone fracture, depth and degree of fracture deviation. Conclusion: In its expense and speed, 3D VCT is superior to conventional 3D CT. Owing to its ability to reconstruct full images regardless of the direction using 2 times higher resolution power and 4 times higher speed of the previous 3D CT, 3D VCT allows for accurate evaluation of the exact site and deviation of fine fractures.

본 글은 지상파 방송사의 채널 이미지와 N-스크린 전략 서비스 경영전략 방안을 제안하였다. 이에 방송사의 기존 채널이미지가 다매체, 다채널 서비스로 대변되는 N-스크린 서비스에 미치는 영향을 분석함으로써 향후 지상파 방송사의 N-스크린 운영 방안에 대해서 논의하였다. 현재 지상파 방송 사업자들은 인터넷 기반 동영상 서비스를 제공함으로써 N-스크린 서비스를 실현하고 있다. 고정형 TV- PC-스마트폰-태블릿PC로 연결되는 N-스크린 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 하지만 이용자들이 프로그램을 선택하는 기준은 분석하기 매우 어렵다. 다만, 기존 지상파 방송사의 채널 이미지가 그대로 N-스크린 서비스에 전이되며, 이에 따라 지상파 방송사의 경쟁 도구로 활용된다. 따라서 향후 N-스크린 서비스 제공과 관련된 프로그램 선택 유인, 오리지널 콘텐츠 확보, 새로운 플랫폼 및 서비스 개발 등을 통해서 스마트 미디어 시대를 대비해야 할 것이다.
