  • 디지털 엑스레이 기기로부터 처음 획득된 엑스레이 영상은 데이터 범위가 일반 영상에 비해 넓고 밝기 레벨이 고르지 못하다. 특히 흉부 엑스레이 영상의 경우 다양한 이유로 촬영하기 때문에 갈비뼈와 혈관, 척추 뼈 등 특성이 다른 모든 부위들을 자연스럽게 개선할 필요가 있다. 이러한 엑스레이 영상의 경우 일반 영상과 특성이 다르기 때문에 기존의 화질 개선 알고리즘으로는 진단에 적합한 화질을 얻을 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문은 특정 밝기에 밀집된 정보들의 히스토그램 범위를 확장시키고, 주파수 대역 별 가중치 조절을 통한 선명도 개선 및 고주파 성분의 특성을 이용한 영상 융합 기법을 통해 최종적으로 영상의 대비를 적절하게 개선하는 흉부 엑스레이 영상용 화질 개선 방법을 제안한다. 또한 기존의 기법들과 비교하여 흉부 엑스레이 영상을 보다 자연스럽게 개선하는 것을 확인하고 discrete entropy와 saturation을 통해 정량적 평과 결과를 보인다.

  • KOMPSAT-3A 위성은 기존의 지구관측 위성에 비하여 고해상도의 MWIR 영상을 하루 2번 취득한다. 기존 SWIR 영상이나 TIR 영상과 다른 특성으로 인하여 새로운 지표면 방사 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 KOMPSAT-3A MWIR 위성영상의 특성을 살펴보기 위하여 다시기 차이 영상을 생성하여 기존 적외 영상과 비교하였다. IR 영상의 전처리 과정으로 영상 상대보정을 수행하고, PIFs(Pseudo Invariant Features) 화소기반의 상대방사 보정을 수행하여 화소값의 차이를 최소화시켰다. Sentinel-2 SWIR 영상, Landsat 8 TIR 영상과 KOMPSAT-3A MWIR 영상을 실험한 결과, KOMPSAT-3A 차이 영상에서 인공지물의 구별이 두드러짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 IR영상의 특성을 이용하여 향후 KOMPSAT-3A MWIR 영상의 활용도를 높일 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다.

  • This article is a sub-section of a comparative analysis of depictions of violence in Jakarta's Museum of the Indonesian Communist Party's Treachery, Ho Chi Minh City's War Remnants Museum, and Phnom Penh's Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. In comparing these public history sites, I analyze how memories of mass violence were central to state formation in both Suharto's anti-Communist New Order (1966-1998), the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (1976-present), and Cambodia since the collapse of Democratic Kampuchea (1979-present). While this comparison points out specific distinctions about the role of the military, the nature of revolution, and conceptions of gender, it argues for a central similarity in the use of a mythology of victimization in building these post-conflict nation-states. This article focuses on my gendered analysis of the use of images of women and children in each museum. Depending on context and political purpose, these museums cast women as tragic victim, revolutionary heroine, or threat to the social order. My analysis of gender places stereotypical images of violence against women (the trope of women and children as the ultimate victims) in conversation with dark fantasies of women as perpetrators of savage violence and heroic images of women liberated by participation in violence.

  • The accuracy of the target localization was evaluated by conventional and spiral CT in stereotactic radiosurgerv. Conventional and spiral CT images were obtained with geometrical phantom, which was designed to produce exact three-dimensional coordinates of several objects within 0.1mm error range. Geometrical phantom was attached by BRW headframe, intermediate head ring, and CT localizer. Twentv-seven slices of conventional CT image were scanned at 3 mm slice thickness. Spiral CT images were scanned at 3 mm slice thickness from the pitch value 1 to 3, and twenty-seven slices of image were obtained per each the pitch value. These CT images were transferred to a treatment planning system(X-knife, Radionics) by ethernet, Three-dimensional coordinates of these images measured from the treatment planning system were compared to known values of geometrical phantom. The mean localization error of the target localization of conventional CT was 1.4mm. In case of spiral CT, the error of the target localization was within 1.6mm from the pitch value 1 to 1.3, but was more than 30mm above the pitch value 1.5. In conclusion, as the localization error of spiral CT was increased in high pitch value compared to conventional CT, the application of spiral CT will be with caution in stereotactic radiosurgery.

  • 본 논문에서는 서로 다른 두 개의 영상, 특히 위성영상을 정합하기 위한 방안을 제안 하였다. 일반적인 영상 정합 분야에서는 하나의 영상을 크기와 영상이 포함하고 있는 내용 그리고 밝기가 같지 않은 다른 영상과 비교하게 된다. 만일 비교하고자 하는 영상내에 잡음이 없다면, 즉 두 개의 영상이 동등한 화소값을 갖거나 에지의 변화가 없다면 단순히 화소단위의 비교가 될 것이다. 그러나 많은 응용분야에서 정합을 위해 사용되는 대부분의 영상은 상당히 다른 특성을 갖게 된다. 본 논문에서는 취득 시기가 서로 다른 위성영상을 정합하기 위한 효율적인 방법을 제안하다. 이 방식은 GCP chip을 원 영상과 정합하여 기하보정 된 영상을 얻기 위해 사용될 수 있다. 제안한 방식은 웨이브렛 변환에 기반을 두고 있으며, 기존의 다른 방식과는 달리 영상분석이나 히스토그램 평활화와 같은 전처리를 필요로 하지 않는다.

  • In this study, the feasibility of magnetic resonance techniques for nondestructive internal quality evaluation of Korean red ginseng was examined. Relaxation time constants were measured using various grades of red ginsengs. Solid state magnetic resonance imaging technique was applied to image dried red ginsengs which have low moisture contents (about 13%). A 7 tesla magnetic resonance imaging system operating at a proton resonant frequency of 300 ㎒ was used for acquiring MR images of dried Korean red ginseng. The comparison test of cross cut digital images and magnetic resonance images of heaven grade, good grade with cavity inside, and good grade with white part inside red ginseng suggested the feasibility of the internal quality evaluation of Korean red ginsengs using MRI techniques. A good grade red ginseng included abnormal tissues such as cavities or white parts inside was observed by the signal intensity of MR image based on magnetic resonance properties of proton nucleus. Analysis on an one dimensional profile of acquired MR image of Korean red ginseng showed easy discrimination of normal and abnormal tissues. MR techniques suggested ways to detect internal defects of red ginsengs effectively.

  • Purpose: Imaging plays a significant role in diagnosing leptomeningeal metastases. However, the most appropriate sequence for the detection of leptomeningeal metastases has yet to be determined. This study compares the efficacies of contrast-enhanced T2 fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) and contrast-enhanced 3D T1 black-blood fast spin echo (FSE) imaging for the detection of leptomeningeal metastases. Materials and Methods: Tube phantoms containing varying concentrations of gadobutrol solution were scanned using T2 FLAIR and 3D T1 black-blood FSE. Additionally, 30 patients with leptomeningeal metastases were retrospectively evaluated to compare conspicuous lesions and the extent of leptomeningeal metastases detected by T2 FLAIR and 3D T1 black-blood FSE. Results: The signal intensities of low-concentration gadobutrol solutions (< 0.5 mmol/L) on T2 FLAIR images were higher than in 3D T1 black-blood FSE. The T2 FLAIR sequences exhibited significantly greater visual conspicuity scores than the 3D T1 black-blood sequence in leptomeningeal metastases of the pial membrane of cistern (P = 0.014). T2 FLAIR images exhibited a greater or equal extent (96.7%) of leptomeningeal metastases than 3D T1 black-blood FSE images. Conclusion: Because of its high sensitivity even at low gadolinium concentrations, contrast-enhanced T2 FLAIR images delineated leptomeningeal metastases in a wider territory than 3D T1 black-blood FSE.

  • Real-time human recognition is a challenging task, as the images are captured in an unconstrained environment with different poses, makeups, and styles. This limitation is addressed by generating several facial images with poses, makeup, and styles with a single reference image of a person using Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). In this paper, we propose deep learning-based human recognition using integration of GAN and Spatial Domain Techniques. A novel concept of human recognition based on face depiction approach by generating several dissimilar face images from single reference face image using Domain Transfer Generative Adversarial Networks (DT-GAN) combined with feature extraction techniques such as Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and Histogram is deliberated. The Euclidean Distance (ED) is used in the matching section for comparison of features to test the performance of the method. A database of millions of people with a single reference face image per person, instead of multiple reference face images, is created and saved on the centralized server, which helps to reduce memory load on the centralized server. It is noticed that the recognition accuracy is 100% for smaller size datasets and a little less accuracy for larger size datasets and also, results are compared with present methods to show the superiority of proposed method.
