Most of digital subtraction methods in dental radiography are based on registration using manual landmarks. We have developed an automatic registration method without using the manual selection of landmarks. By restricting a geometrical matching of images to a region of interest (ROl), we compare the cross-correlation coefficient only between the ROIs. The affine or perspective transform parameters satisfying maximum of cross-correlation between the local regions are searched iteratively by a fast searching strategy. The parameters are searched on the 1/4 scale image coarsely and then, the fine registration is performed on the original scale image. The developed method can match the images corrupted by Gaussian noise with the same accuracy for the images without any transform simulation. The registration accuracy of the perspective method shows a 17% improvement over the manual method. The application of the developed method to radiography of dental implants provides an automatic noise robust registration with high accuracy in almost real time.

This study examines if men in the 20's and 30's have different preference for bag types according to their age and gender-role identity types in order to provide foundational data for the male bag market to segment its customers and establish marketing strategies. Total 288 questionnaire sheets were distributed to 186 men in the 20's and 102 men in the 30's residing in Busan. First, according to the result of analyzing their preference for bag types, adult men in the 20's and 30's preferred cross bags the most. It was also shown that men who are feminine or androgynous prefer back packs, shoulder bags, and tote bags to the other two types. Second, about cross bags, men in the 20's showed a higher rate of having two or three than those in the 30's. Men in the 20's possessed back packs more than those in the 30's. And men tend to show a lower rate of having shoulder bags compared with that of cross bags or back packs. Men in the 30's possessed briefcases more than those in the 20's. Masculine men had more briefcases than the other types of bags, and androgynous men tend to have more tote bags than the other types of bags. Third, men in the 20's and 30's all deemed that back packs go well with the casual style. Men in the 20's regarded shoulder bags are the type of bags that harmoniously matches all styles including casual or semi-suit; however, men in the 30's think they only suit casual or semi-suit. And it was also found that men in the 20's think briefcases are the type of bags that goes well with various styles of clothes while men in the 20's consider they are the type of bags only matching suits.

In this paper, we propose DLP(Dual Linear Polarization) array antenna for 3.5 GHz band. The proposed antenna has 1×4 array antenna and design two port network. A cross shape is inserted at the bottom of the patch for impedance matching. The size of each patch antenna is 18.85 mm(W1)×18.85 mm(L1), array antenna is designed on the FR-4 substrate, which is 236.0 mm(W)×60.2 mm(L), thickness (h) 1.6 mm, and the dielectric constant is 4.3. From the fabrication and measurement results, bandwidths of 70 MHz (3.54 to 3.61 GHz) for input port 1, 75 MHz (3.55 to 3.625 GHz) for input port 2 are obtained on the basis of -10 dB return loss and transmission coefficient S21 is under the -20 dB. Also, cross polarization between two port obtained.

We select infrared-luminous galaxies by cross-matching the SDSS spectroscopic sample of galaxies with the WISE all-sky survey catalog. Based on photometric data points covering from SDSS u-band to WISE $22{\mu}m$, their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are separated into AGN, elliptical, spiral, and irregular galaxy components. The derived luminosities of spiral galaxy and AGN are well correlated with $H{\alpha}$ and [OIII] line luminosities, respectively. Most galaxies are dominated by young stellar populations even for optical AGNs, but at least 10% of optical non-AGNs appear to harbor buried AGNs. The AGN contribution increases dramatically with the total luminosity. These results show that the SED decomposition is successful and is useful to understand the true nature of dusty galaxies.

We present a photometric catalog of infrared (IR) sources based on the North Ecliptic Pole Wide field (NEP-Wide) survey of AKARI, which covered a 5.4 $deg^2$ circular area centered on NEP. The catalog contains about 115,000 sources detected at the 9 IRC filter bands, comprehensively covering a wavelength range from 2 to $24{\mu}m$. This is a band-merged catalog including all of the photometry results from the supplementary optical data as well as the IRC bands. To validate a source at a given IRC band, we searched for counterparts in the other bands. The band-merging was done based on this cross-matching of the sources among the filter bands. The NIR sources without any counterpart in any other bands are finally excluded to avoid false objects.

Feedback from accreting BH (AGN) is thought to be responsible for the co-evolution of BHs and galaxies. It is likely to be prominent in the most luminous dust-obscured quasars, particularly those containing radio sources too luminous to be powered by starbursts. In order to investigate the feedback mechanism in detail, we select a unique sample containing ~ 200 of the most luminous obscured QSOs by cross-matching the WISE catalog with the FIRST and NVSS radio surveys. We present overall statistics for the observed range of colors and radio/mid-IR flux density ratio. We also present our efforts to understand the physical and evolutionary nature of these extreme feedback candidates using various telescopes such as Magellan, SOAR, Herschel, and ALMA.

The level of sunk cost and risk-taking theory have been offered as one explanation for the escalation of commitment behavior. This Study attempted to replicate Keil's study in Korea. Keil examined the level of sunk cost associated with the risk propensity and risk perception of decision-makers, and these factors are assessed for cross-cultural robustness using matching laboratory experiments carried out in three countries. The level of sunk cost and the risk perception of decision-makers contributed significantly to their continuous willingness to their project. Moreover, the risk propensity of decision-makers was inversely related to risk perception, and this inverse relationship was significantly more weak in Korea than in Singapore. These results show that the sunk-cost effect exists across cultures, and that the risk-taking behaviors are partially mediated by cultural factors.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 정합을 위한 특징으로 웨이 블릿의 이동성(shiftability)을 이용한 윈도우 웨이블릿 기반 스테레오 정합방법을 제안하였다. 전 영상에 대한 웨이블릿 분해는 웨이블릿의 이동성 유지가 이루어지지 않아서 정합 정확도가 떨어진다. 그래서 웨이블릿의 이동성을 신뢰성 있는 정합정보로 만들기 위해 윈도우로 전체 파형의 일부를 표본화하고 웨이블릿 분해를 수행하여 기준신호와 이동된 신호의 부대역 정보 사이의 상관도(cross-correlation)를 정합정보로 이용하였다. 대역별 상관도는 얻어진 4개의 부대역의 대역별 가중치가 고려되어 계산된다. 제안한 방법은 주파수 대역별 계층적인 정합과 양방향 정합과정을 통해 영상의 경계부분, 동일한 형태의 반복, 잡음(white noise)등이 포함된 영상에서의 오정합을 줄일 수 있었으며 특징정보가 부족한 부분에서의 정합도 개선할 수 있었다.

Conventional stereo matching algorithms fail when they deal with anaglyph image as its input because anaglyph image does not have similar intensity on both view images. To ameliorate such problems, we propose a robust method to obtain accurate disparity maps. The novel Absolute Adaptive Normalized Cross Correlation (AANCC) for anaglyph data cost is introduced in this paper. Then, it is followed by occlusion detection and segmentation-based plane fitting to achieve accurate depth map acquisition. Experimental results confirm that the proposed anaglyph data cost is robust and gives accurate disparity maps.
