It is much needed research for ocean scientists to implement a digitizing system that effectively extracts and digitializes sea level records accumulated from the past. The main difficulty of such a system is huge anount of data to be processed. In this paper, we implement a digitizing system to handle such mass-data of sea level records. This system consists of a pre-process step, a digitizing step and a post-process step. In pre-process step, the system adjusts skewnesses of scanned images and normalizes the size of images automatically. Then, it extracts a graph area from images and thins the graph area in digitizing step. Finally, in the post-process step, the system tests the reliability. It is cost-effective and labour-reducing software for scientists not wasting their time to such boring manual digitizing jobs.

Historical books are records of information using text and images and is one of the valuable cultural heritages of mankind. However, these books wear, tear and are damaged with time, so we are restricted in our usage of them for study or research. There are many libraries and museums around the world researching a method to digitize the historical books to prevent their collection from damage. Digitizing the historical books not only produce digital images but also a valuable high quality digital information. Digitizing process also keeps the original content of the historical books as well as add a value as research material as a bibliographical, artistic and archaeological item. Furthermore, its information would be provided through a network, like internet, to share and to promote more advanced studies. The purpose of this study is to examine the principles and method of digitization of historical books. This study also researches the meaning and problems of digitizing process for more effective usage.

With acquisition of satellite image being facilitated due to recent advancement in Electro optical and astronautic technologies, focus on establishment of Geoinformation and analysis using satellite images have increased. This research have conducted digital plotting and digitizing operation, utilizing stereo images and grey level images provided by SPOT5 satellite and evaluated the accuracy through comparison and analysis with digital map results. Digital plotting results acquired using stereo images have been compared and analyzed on the basis of scale 1:25,000 digital map results published by National Geographic Information Institute. Accuracy of 20 check points have showed RMSE results 5.369 m at X (Easting) and 4.718 m, digitizing using grey level images showed RMSE results 7.616 m in X (Easting) and Y (Northing) 6.532 m. This is within the allowance of accuracy standards for scale 1:25,000 maps, and although digitizing operation was confirmed to have lower accuracy than that of digital plotting, using the former is considered to be more effective in terms of economical efficiency.

This paper presents a GCP marking technique using scanned maps. Twelve maps with a scale of 1:250, 000 were scanned and stored as raster images. The distortion factors of scanned maps were modelled by polynomials. The coefficients of the polynomials were determined by a least squre fit. This technique does not require a bulky and expensive digitizing table so that it is suitable for a low-cost pre-processing system. The GCP marking using this technique showed a sufficient accuracy for KITSAT1, 2 narrow camera images.

The stereostatic surgery becomes a important part of neurosurgery. The conventional style of stereostatic system uses a input method of film digitizing. It is time consuming and laborious. In this paper, we presented a system that can manage digital images from medical imaging machine to surgery assisting program. CT images were transferred in DICOM format to a surgery assisting computer in a operation room through PACS. The streotatic surgery assisting program processed the digital images and calculated the parameters that were required in steostatic surgery. The assisting program were developed that can detect the reference points automatically, transform CT coordinate to frame coordinate and calculate the RM (Riechert-Mundinger) frame. This system were applied to clinical cases in Seoul National Univ. Hospital. The two advantages of this system were revealed. The processing time from imaging to surgery parameters were much aster than conventional system. The surgery accuracy were more mininute as the digitizing error were reduced. This system were a good application of connecting imaging machines to clinical treatment system through PACS.

The evolution of modern imaging modalities, followed by the rapid development of computer technology has introduced many new features in the communication networks used in medical facilities. Since it is very important to keep patient's record accurately, the ability to exchange medical data securely over the communication network is essential for any medical information. In this paper, therefore, we introduce some problems which occur from digitizing medical images such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT (Computed Tomography), CR(Computed Radiography), etc., and then we propose a authentication mechanism for medical image verification using secret watermark images.

To manage the architecture information of Seoul, aerial photographs have been taken and Photographic Interpretation Status Maps(PISP) have been produced through interpretation process. However PISP of SEOUL has a number of errors and difficulties to update maps, owing to its analogue formation by hand skill. In this study, some digitizing methods are tested to make Digital Photographic Interpretation Status Maps(DPISP). The digitizing methods by scanning maps, using ortho-images and true ortho-images, digital correction plotting process, and LiDAR techniques were used for comparative analysis of PISP. As a result of this study, the author suggest DPISP by the digital correction plotting method is proper for economical efficiency and its accuracy of the architecture information.

본 논문에서는 Head-up Digitizing / Vectorizing 기술에 주로 사용되는 이진 영상으로부터 사용자의 초기 입력 좌표를 기준점으로 채택한 후 기준점을 중심으로 선형 및 벡터 형상을 추출하는 반자동 선형 추출 기술 개발에 관해 기술한다. 본 기술의 동작 과정을 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 사용자는 이진 영상에서 추출하고자 하는 선형 및 벡터 형상내의 한 좌표를 선택한다. 선택된 좌표는 기준점으로 채택되며, 이 기준점을 중심으로 네 방향으로 영암 값이 0인 픽셀들의 길이 및 orientation이 계산된다. 계산된 orientation을 바탕으로 폭 넓이가 계산되고 초기 좌표가 보정된 후 폭 넓이가 임계값을 만족시키면 동일한 선형물로 간주하여 추출 연산을 반복 수행하고, 폭넓이가 임계값을 벗어나면 새로운 선형물로 간주하고 추출을 중단한다 즉, 채택된 기준값을 중심으로 동일한 명암값의 검색을 진행하여 기준값과 유사한 방향성 및 폭 넓이 정보를 갖는 성분들의 중심 좌표를 선형물 추출 결과값으로 산출하는 기술이다. 본 기술을 통해 수작업으로 진행되던 지도 제작 및 Head-up Digitizing / Vectorizing 기술이 컴퓨터를 이용한 반자동기술로 대체될 수 있으며, 이를 통해 많은 인원과 시간을 소모하여야 했던 좌표 지도제작을 위성 영상을 이용하여 보다 쉽고 저렴한 가격으로 수행할 수 있는 방안을 제시할 수 있다.

This study refers to develop a semi-automatic extraction of agricultural land use and vegetation information using high resolution satellite images. Data of IKONOS satellite image (May 25 of 2001) and QuickBird satellite image (May 1 of 2006) which resembles with the spatial resolution and spectral characteristics of KOMPSAT3. The precise agricultural land use classification was tried using ISODATA unsupervised classification technique and the result was compared with on-screen digitizing land use accompanying with field investigation. For the extraction of vegetation information, three crops of paddy, com and red pepper were selected and the spectral characteristics were collected during each growing period using ground spectroradiometer. The vegetation indices viz. RVI, NDVI, ARVI, and SAVI for the crops were evaluated. The evaluation process is under development using the ERDAS IMAGINE Spatial Modeler Tool.
