자기 공명 영상의 사용이 빈번해 짐에 따라 환자의 해부학적인 정확한 정보와 이를 빠르고 효과적으로 진단하는데 유용한 자동 영상 세그멘테이션 방법이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 오류 역전파 알고리즘으로 학습한 신경망을 이용하여 뇌의 자기 공명 영상을 자동적으로 세그멘테이션하는 방법을 제안한다. 특정 환자의 자기 공명 영상을 분할하여 학습시킨 신경망은 다른 환자의 자기 공명 영상도 자동적으로 세그멘테이션하여 뇌의 윤곽을 뚜렷하게 나타내었다.

This paper proposes an efficient face recognition using independent component analysis(ICA) derived from the fixed point(FP) algorithm based on secant method. The secant method can exclude the complex computation of differential process from the FP based on Newton method. The proposed ICA has been applied to recognize the 20 Yale face images of $324\times324$ pixels. The experimental results show that the proposed ICA is superior to PCA not only in the restoration performance of basis images but also in the recognition performance of the trained images and the test images. Then negative angle as similarity measures has better recognition ratio than city-block and Euclidean.

The methods that track and detect motion field based on image difference of successive images from camera can separate motion field and background effectively, but because of noise and background images getting proper difference images is hard to achieve. In this paper we propose a method that can improve difference image quality significantly. Three step process is used. At the first step, existence of motion field is determined, the second step is finding proper threshold value using 'Contrast Streching' technique which enables us to find proper motion field even in complex images. At last step, remaining noise is removed and motion field is determined.

Because hyperspectral imaging provides detailed spectral information across a broad range of wavelengths, it can be utilized in numerous applications, including environmental monitoring, food quality inspection, medical diagnosis, material identification, art authentication, and crime scene analysis. However, hyperspectral images often contain various types of distortions due to the environmental conditions during image acquisition, which necessitates the proper removal of these distortions through a data preprocessing process. In this study, a preprocessing method was investigated to effectively correct the distortion caused by artificial light sources used in indoor hyperspectral imaging. For this purpose, a halogen-tungsten artificial light source was installed indoors, and hyperspectral images were acquired. The acquired images were then corrected for distortion using a preprocessing that does not require complex auxiliary equipment. After the corrections were made, the results were analyzed. According to the analysis, a statistical transformation technique using mean and standard deviation with reference to a reference signal was found to be the most effective in correcting distortions caused by artificial light sources.

변형 모델은 볼륨영상으로부터 관심 대상 객체의 3차원적 경계면 구조 추출을 위해 효과적인 접근 방법을 제공한다. 그러나, 기존 변형 모델은 초기 조건에 민감하고, 심한 함몰 및 돌출 부위를 가지는 복잡한 경계면을 잘 표현하지 못하면, 모델 내 구성 요소들 간에 자기교차를 일으킬 수 있는 세가지 주요 제한점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 변형 모델이 갖는 이러한 제한점을 개선함으로써 복잡한 기하학적 표면 형태를 가지는 객체의 경계면 추출에 효과적인 변형 모델을 제안한다. 첫째, 제안 변형 모델은 다해상도 볼륨영상 피라미드를 기반으로 모델구성 요소들을 계층적으로 리샘플링한다. 이 접근은 객체의 경계면을 멀티스케일 방식으로 추출함으로써 초기화에의 의존성을 극복할 뿐 아니라, 모델 구성 요소들의 크기를 복셀 크기에 따라 항상 균일하게 유지함으로써 모델이 영상의 복잡한 특성 정보에 따라 유동적으로 변형될 수 있게 한다. 둘째, 제안 변형 모델은 기존 모델에서 가지는 내력과 외력 외에 자기교차방지력을 포함한다. 자기교차방지력은 제한 거리 이내로 근접한 비인접 모델구성 요소들간에 척력을 적용함으로써 자기교차를 사전에 방지한 수 있게 한다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 합성 볼륨영상 및 뇌 MR 볼륨영상에 대한 실험을 통해서 제안 모델이 초기화 위치에 의존하지 않고 자기교차 없이 복잡한 함몰 및 돌출 경계면 구조를 성공적으로 추출한 결과를 보인다.

In this paper, we present a vision algorithm and method for input image improvement and preprocessing of dented and raised characters on the sidewall of tires. we define optical condition between reflect coefficient and reflectance by the physical vector calculate. On the contrary this work will recognize the engraved characters using the computer vision technique. Tire input images have all most same grey levels between the characters and backgrounds. The reflectance is little from a tire surface. therefore, it's very difficult segment the characters from the background. Moreover, one side of the character string is raised and the other is dented. So, the captured images are varied with the angle of camera and illumination. For optimum input images, the angle between camera and illumination was found out to be with in 90。 .In addition, We used complex filtering with low-pass and high-pass band filters to improve input images, for clear input images. Finally we define equation reflect coefficient and reflectance. By doing this, we obtained good images of tires for pattern recognition.

광을 이용하여 암호화를 하는 경우는 위조 및 복제의 방지를 위하여 세기성분보다는 위상성분을 이용하여 주로 암호화를 하고 있다. 그러나 위상정보를 검출할 수 있는 장비가 개발된다면 정보를 유출 당할 수 있는 위험이 있다. 이러한 위험을 줄이기 위해 본 논문에서는 가상 위상영상을 이용하고 또한 정보를 다수가 공유할 수 있도록 시각 암호화(visual cryptography) 방법을 이용하여 정보를 보다 안전하게 보관하고 공유하는 시스템을 제안하였다.

A new Complex Image Method based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed to calculate the Green's functions of CPW (coplanar waveguide)-type microwave components and antennas. The closed-forms of the spectral-domain integrals are obtained by the GA, avoiding the conventional procedures of the tedious linear algebra and the sampling conditions sensitive to the complex-variable sampling paths adopted in the Prony's and GPOF methods. The proposed method is compared with the numerical Sommerfeld Integral, which results in good agreement.

Objective: To evaluate the image quality of novel dark-blood computed tomography angiography (CTA) imaging combined with deep learning reconstruction (DLR) compared to delayed-phase CTA images with hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR), to visualize the cervical artery wall in patients with Takayasu arteritis (TAK). Materials and Methods: This prospective study continuously recruited 53 patients with TAK (mean age: 33.8 ± 10.2 years; 49 females) between January and July 2022 who underwent head-neck CTA scans. The arterial- and delayed-phase images were reconstructed using HIR and DLR. Subtracted images of the arterial-phase from the delayed-phase were then added to the original delayed-phase using a denoising filter to generate the final-dark-blood images. Qualitative image quality scores and quantitative parameters were obtained and compared among the three groups of images: Delayed-HIR, Dark-blood-HIR, and Dark-blood-DLR. Results: Compared to Delayed-HIR, Dark-blood-HIR images demonstrated higher qualitative scores in terms of vascular wall visualization and diagnostic confidence index (all P < 0.001). These qualitative scores further improved after applying DLR (Dark-blood-DLR compared to Dark-blood-HIR, all P < 0.001). Dark-blood DLR also showed higher scores for overall image noise than Dark-blood-HIR (P < 0.001). In the quantitative analysis, the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) values between the vessel wall and lumen for the bilateral common carotid arteries and brachiocephalic trunk were significantly higher on Dark-blood-HIR images than on Delayed-HIR images (all P < 0.05). The CNR values were significantly higher for Dark-blood-DLR than for Dark-blood-HIR in all cervical arteries (all P < 0.001). Conclusion: Compared with Delayed-HIR CTA, the dark-blood method combined with DLR improved CTA image quality and enhanced visualization of the cervical artery wall in patients with TAK.
