The educational benefits and potential of XR as a new medium are well recognized. However, there are still limitations in understanding the specific effects of XR compared to the more widely utilized representation of images on computer monitors. This study therefore aims to demonstrate the differences in effectiveness between the two technologies and to draw implications from a cognitive comparison of three-dimensional objects represented on a flat surface and virtually. The study was conducted a quantitative research method with an experiment involving two independent groups, and the results were tested using regression analysis. The results showed that for low-level, two-dimensional objects, the computer monitor method may be more effective, but above a certain level of complexity, the effectiveness of learning through the monitor tends to decrease rapidly. On the other hand, the group that used extended reality technology showed relatively high comprehension compared to the monitor group even as the complexity increased, and in particular, unlike the monitor group's rapidly decreasing comprehension level, the extended reality technology group showed a trend of decreasing comprehension with the level of complexity, suggesting the potential for compatibility and predictability in the use of technology.

본 논문에서는 실제 영상과는 다른 특성을 지니는 깊이정보 맵의 효율적인 부호화 방법을 제안한다. 깊이정보 맵은 객체 내부 혹은 배경 부분에서 상당히 완만한 특성을 지니지만, 객체 경계 부분에서는 아주 날카로운 에지 성분이 존재한다는 특징이 있다. 그리고 깊이정보 맵을 비트평면 단위로 분리하였을 때, 비트평면 간 완전일치/반전일치되는 특성이 객체 경계 부분에서 자주 발생한다는 특징이 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 객체 경계 부분에서 비트평면의 이진 영상간 일치여부를 적절하게 이용하기 위하여 깊이정보 맵을 비트평면 단위로 분리하여 비트평면 간 적응적 XOR 연산을 이용한 블록 기반 비트평면 부호화 방법을 제안한다. 또한 비트평면 단위 영상 부호화 방법과 DCT 기반 동영상 압축 방법(H.264/AVC)의 장점을 적절하게 이용하기 위하여 블록 단위 비트평면 부호화 방법과 기존의 블록 단위 동영상 부호화 방법을 적응적으로 선택하여 부호화하였다. 실험 결과 제안하는 방법이 H.264/AVC보다 BD-PSNR이 0.9 dB ~ 1.5 dB 향상되었고 BD-rate가 11.8 % ~ 20.8 % 감소되었다. 또한 제안하는 방법이 블록 기반 적응적 깊이정보 맵 부호화 방법보다 BD-PSNR이 0.5 dB ~ 0.8 dB 향상되었고 BD-rate가 7.7 % ~ 12.2 % 감소되어 제안하는 방법의 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 복원된 깊이정보 맵을 이용하여 생성된 가상 영상 간의 비교에서 제안하는 방법이 DCT 기반 동영상 압축 방법보다 주관적 화질이 향상된 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 블록 기반 적응적 깊이정보 맵 부호화 방법과 비교하여 주관적 화질이 비슷하다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we studied a system that can efficiently build security management for single-person households using Arduino, ESP32-CAM and PIR sensors, and proposed an Android app with an internet connection. The ESP32-CAM is an Arduino compatible board that supports both Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cameras using an ESP32-based processor. The PCB on-board antenna may be used independently, and the sensitivity may be expanded by separately connecting the external antenna. This system has implemented an Arduino-based Unauthorized intrusion system that can significantly help prevent crimes in single-person households using the combination of PIR sensors, Arduino devices, and smartphones. unauthorized intrusion system, showing the connection between Arduino Uno and ESP32-CAM and with smartphone applications. Recently, if daily quarantine is underway around us and it is necessary to verify the identity of visitors, it is expected that it will help maintain a safety net if this system is applied for the purpose of facial recognition and restricting some access. This technology is widely used to verify that the characters in the two images entered into the system are the same or to determine who the characters in the images are most similar to among those previously stored in the internal database. There is an advantage that it may be implemented in a low-power, low-cost environment through image recognition, comparison, feature point extraction, and comparison.

To solve the edge ringing or block effect caused by the partial differential diffusion in image enhancement domain, a new image enhancement algorithm based on bidirectional diffusion, which smooths the flat region or isolated noise region and sharpens the edge region in different types of defect images on aviation composites, is presented. Taking the image pixel's neighborhood intensity and spatial characteristics as the attribute descriptor, the presented bidirectional diffusion model adaptively chooses different diffusion criteria in different defect image regions, which are elaborated are as follows. The forward diffusion is adopted to denoise along the pixel's gradient direction and edge direction in the pixel's smoothing area while the backward diffusion is used to sharpen along the pixel's gradient direction and the forward diffusion is used to smooth along the pixel's edge direction in the pixel's edge region. The comparison experiments were implemented in the delamination, inclusion, channel, shrinkage, blowhole and crack defect images, and the comparison results indicate that our algorithm not only preserves the image feature better but also improves the image contrast more obviously.

In this paper, we perform a direct comparison study of real experimental data for domain rearrangement and the Cahn-Hilliard (CH) equation on the dynamics of morphological evolution. To validate a mathematical model for physical phenomena, we take initial conditions from experimental images by using an image segmentation technique. The image segmentation algorithm is based on the Mumford-Shah functional and the Allen-Cahn (AC) equation. The segmented phase-field profile is similar to the solution of the CH equation, that is, it has hyperbolic tangent profile across interfacial transition region. We use unconditionally stable schemes to solve the governing equations. As a test problem, we take domain rearrangement of lipid bilayers. Numerical results demonstrate that comparison of the evolutions with experimental data is a good benchmark test for validating a mathematical model.

최근까지 단일 영상이나 동영상을 영역화하는 기법들은 다양하게 제시되어 왔으나, 유사한 장면에 대한 여러 장의 영상을 동시에 영역화하는 기법은 많지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 한 장소에서 연속적으로 촬영하였거나 전경 물체가 유사한 여러 영상들을 동일 장면 영상으로 정의하고, 이런 동일 장면 영상들을 적은 양의 사용자 입력을 통해 효과적으로 영역화하는 기법을 제안한다. 구체적으로, 사용자가 최초의 영상 한 장을 직접 영역화한 후, 그 영상의 영역화 결과와 영상의 특성을 토대로 다중 단계 신호를 적응적 가중치를 주어서 인접 영상으로 전파하고, 이를 통해 제안하는 기법은 인접 영상을 반복적으로 영역화한다. 영역화는 마르코프 랜덤 장에서의 에너지 최소화를 통해 이루어지는데, 전파되는 신호는 각 픽셀에 대한 에너지를 정의하는 바탕이 되며, 픽셀, 픽셀 패치, 그리고 영상 전체로부터 비롯되었는가에 따라 낮은 단계, 중간 단계, 그리고 높은 단계의 신호로 지칭된다. 또한 에너지 최소화 틀 안에서 전파된 신호를 통해 정의되는 에너지 역시 낮은 단계, 중간 단계, 그리고 높은 단계의 세 단계로 정의한다. 이런 과정을 통해 전파된 신호를 최대한 다양하게 활용하고, 이를 통해 다양한 영상에 영역화 결과가 일관되게 유지된다. 다양한 동일 장면 영상들에 제안하는 기법을 적용하여 성능을 평가하고, 픽셀 패치를 바탕으로 하는 중간 단계 신호만을 이용한 결과와 제안하는 다중 신호를 적용하는 기법의 결과를 비교한다.

The Scanora/sup (R)/ X-ray unit uses the principles of narrow beam radiography and spiral tomography. Starting with a panoramic overview as a scout image. multiple tomographic projections could be selected. This study evaluated the accuracy of spiral tomography in comparison to routine panoramic radiography for dental implant treatment planning. An experimental study was performed on a cadaver mandible to assess the accuracy of panoramic radiography and spiral tomography film images for measurement of metallic spheres. After radiographic images of the metallic spheres on the surgical stent were measured and corrected for a fixed magnification of radiographic images. following results were obtained. 1. In the optimal position of the mandible. the minimal horizontal and vertical distortion was evident in the panoramic radiography images. The mean horizontal and vertical magnification error in anterior sites was 5.25％ and 0.75％. respectively. The mean horizontal and vertical magnification error in posterior sites was 0.50％ and 1.50％. respectively. 2. In the displaced forward or in an eccentric position of the mandible. the magnification error of the panoramic radiography images increased significantly over the optimal position. Overall, the mean horizontal magnification error of the anterior site in the different positions changed dramatically within a range of -17.25％ to 39.00％, compared to the posterior range of -5.25％ to 8.50％. However, the mean vertical magnification error stayed with the range of 0.5％ to 3.75％ for all the mandibular positions. 3. The magnification effects in the tomographic scans were nearly identical for the anterior and posterior with a range of 2.00％ to 5.75％ in the horizontal and 4.50％ to 5.50％ in the vertical dimension, respectively. 4. A statistically significant difference between the anterior and posterior measurements was found in the horizontal measurements of the panoramic radiography images of the displaced forward and backward position of the mandible(P<0.05). Also a significant difference between the optimal panoramic and tomographic projections was found only in the vertical measurement(P<0.05).

Background: Dental diseases are common in dogs and cats, and accurate measurements of dentoalveolar structure are important for planning of treatment. The information that the comparison computed tomography (CT) with dental radiography (DTR) is not yet reported in veterinary medicine. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the DTR with CT of dentoalveolar structures in healthy dogs and cats, and to evaluate the CT images of 2 different slice thicknesses (0.5 and 1.0 mm). Methods: We included 6 dogs (2 Maltese and 1 Spitz, Beagle, Pomeranian, mixed, 1 to 8 years, 4 castrated males, and 2 spayed female) and 6 cats (6 domestic short hair, 8 months to 3 years, 4 castrated male, and 2 spayed female) in this study. We measured the pulp cavity to tooth width ratio (P/T ratio) and periodontal space of maxillary and mandibular canine teeth, maxillary fourth premolar, mandibular first molar, maxillary third premolar and mandibular fourth premolar. Results: P/T ratio and periodontal space in the overall dentition of both dogs and cats were smaller in DTR compared to CT. In addition, CT images at 1.0 mm slice thickness was generally measured to be greater than the images at 0.5 mm slice thickness. Conclusions: The results indicate that CT with thin slice thickness provides more accurate information on the dentoalveolar structures. Additional DTR, therefore, may not be required for evaluating dental structure in small-sized dogs and cats.

Background: Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a new non-invasive, mobile screening method which does not use ionizing radiation to the human breast; allows conducting quantitative assessment of the images besides the visual interpretation. The aim of this study was to correlate the quantitative assessment and visual interpretation of breast electrical impedance tomographs and associated factors. Materials and Methods: One hundred and fifty mammography patients above 40 years and undergoing EIT were chosen using convenient sampling. Visual interpretation of the images was carried out by a radiologist with minimum of three years experience using the breast imaging - electrical impedance (BI-EIM) classification for detection of abnormalities. A set of thirty blinded EIT images were reinterpreted to determine the intra-rater reliability using kappa. Quantitative assessment was by comparison of the breast average electric conductivity with the norm and correlations with visual interpretation of the images were determined using Chi-square. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the mean electrical conductivity between groups and t-test was used for comparisons with pre-existing Caucasians statistics. Independent t-tests were applied to compare the mean electrical conductivity of women with factors like exogenous hormone use and family history of breast cancer. Results: The mean electrical conductivity of Malaysian women was significantly lower than that of Caucasians (p<0.05). Quantitative assessment of electrical impedance tomography was significantly related with visual interpretation of images of the breast (p<0.05). Conclusions: Quantitative assessment of electrical impedance tomography images was significantly related with visual interpretation.
