이미지 센서의 물리적 한계 가운데 공간 해상도의 제약과 다이내믹 레인지의 제약을 극복하기 위한 방법 가운데 신호처리기법에 기반하여 여러 장의 저해상도 영상으로부터 고해상도 영상을 복원하는 것과, 다이내믹 레인지가 좁은 여러 장의 영상으로부터 넓은 다이내믹 레인지를 갖는 영상을 복원하는 방법이 있다. 하지만, 일반적으로 실제 영상을 획득하는 과정에서 공간 해상도와 다이내믹 레인지의 제약을 동시에 받게 되므로, 이 두 제약을 동시에 극복하는 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 영상 장치의 응답 함수의 추정과 함께 공간 해상도와 다이내믹 레이지를 동시에 향상시킬 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이를 위해 영상의 공간 해상도 제한과, 다이내믹 레인지의 제약을 포함하는 영상 획득 과정을 모델링하고, 이 영상 획득 모델을 기반으로 하여 영상 입력 장치의 응답 함수를 추정하고, 영상의 공간 해상도와 다이내믹 레인지를 동시에 향상시킬 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안된 알고리즘이 기존의 고해상도 복읜 알고리즘과 와이드 다이내믹 레인지 영상 복원을 연속적으로 처리한 결과보다 시각적, 수치적으로 더 좋은 결과를 보여줌을 확인할 수 있다.

Purpose: To demonstrate the high-resolution numerical simulation of the respiration-induced dynamic $B_0$ shift in the head using generalized susceptibility voxel convolution (gSVC). Materials and Methods: Previous dynamic $B_0$ simulation research has been limited to low-resolution numerical models due to the large computational demands of conventional Fourier-based $B_0$ calculation methods. Here, we show that a recently-proposed gSVC method can simulate dynamic $B_0$ maps from a realistic breathing human body model with high spatiotemporal resolution in a time-efficient manner. For a human body model, we used the Extended Cardiac And Torso (XCAT) phantom originally developed for computed tomography. The spatial resolution (voxel size) was kept isotropic and varied from 1 to 10 mm. We calculated $B_0$ maps in the brain of the model at 10 equally spaced points in a respiration cycle and analyzed the spatial gradients of each of them. The results were compared with experimental measurements in the literature. Results: The simulation predicted a maximum temporal variation of the $B_0$ shift in the brain of about 7 Hz at 7T. The magnitudes of the respiration-induced $B_0$ gradient in the x (right/left), y (anterior/posterior), and z (head/feet) directions determined by volumetric linear fitting, were < 0.01 Hz/cm, 0.18 Hz/cm, and 0.26 Hz/cm, respectively. These compared favorably with previous reports. We found that simulation voxel sizes greater than 5 mm can produce unreliable results. Conclusion: We have presented an efficient simulation framework for respiration-induced $B_0$ variation in the head. The method can be used to predict $B_0$ shifts with high spatiotemporal resolution under different breathing conditions and aid in the design of dynamic $B_0$ compensation strategies.

An efficient dynamic kinetic resolution of racemic ${\beta}$-hydroxyalkylferrocene and 1,1'-bis( ${\beta}$-hydroxyalkyl)-ferrocene derivatives was achieved using lipase/ruthenium-catalyzed transesterification in the presence of an acyl donor. The racemic ${\beta}$-hydroxyalkylferrocene derivatives were successfully transformed to the corresponding chiral acetates of high optical purities in high yields.

The purpose of this study is to examine the status of quality control using multipurpose phantom of ultrasound equipment used in hospital of veterinary college in South Korea by using ATS-539 multipurpose phantom so as to examine quantitative and objective new image evaluation method. Specialists discussed and analyzed multipurpose phantom images acquired by using convex transducer of 10 ultrasound imaging devices, currently used in 9 veterinary colleges, at 4.0-6.0 MHz. Total 8 items that can be measured with ATS-539 multipurpose phantom including dead zone, vertical and horizontal measurement, axial/lateral resolution, sensitivity, focal zone, functional resolution and gray scale/dynamic range were evaluated. For qualitative evaluation, valid decisions were made based on dead zone, axial/lateral resolution, and gray scale/dynamic range which are resolution index, and coefficient of variation (COV) and blind referenceless image spatial quality evaluator (BRISQUE) were found to increase objectivity. As a result of experiment, all the targeted ultrasonic devices were found appropriate from qualitative evaluation items of dead zone, axial/lateral resolution, and gray scale/dynamic range. In other evaluation items, they were found to be appropriate from focal zone and vertical measurement of quantitative evaluation while inappropriate from horizontal measurement, sensitivity, and functional resolution. COV value was 0.12 ± 0.04, and BRISQUE value was 47.77 ± 2.77, both analysis results show that the noise level of all ultrasonic devices was located within tolerance range. Upon image examination using ATS-539 multipurpose phantom, they were 100% appropriate with inspection standards of dead zone, axial/lateral resolution, and gray scale/dynamic range, and besides, focal zone and functional resolution can be used as evaluation items. In the field of veterinary medicine, 8 standard items using ATS-539 multipurpose phantom and image evaluation items using COV and BRISQUE can be used as standards for quality control of ultrasonography machine.

The spectral color resolution of an image is very important in color image analysis. Two factors influencing the spectral color resolution of an image are illumination intensity and lens aperture for a selected vision system. An optimal combination of illumination intensity and lens aperture for color image analysis was determined in the study. The method was based on a model of dynamic range defined as the absolute difference between digital values of selected foreground and background color in the image. The role of illumination intensity in machine vision was also described and a computer program for simulating the optimal combination of two factors was implemented for verifying the related algorithm. It was possible to estimate the non-saturating range of the illumination intensity (input voltage in the study) and the lens aperture by using a model of dynamic range. The method provided an optimal combination of the illumination intensity and the lens aperture, maximizing the color resolution between colors of interest in color analysis, and the estimated color resolution at the combination for a given vision system configuration.

$\rho$, $\alpha$-dimethyl benzyl alcohol을 효과적으로 분할하기 위하여 2상 동적 속도론적 광학분할(biphasic dynamic kinetic resolution, DKR)반응을 실시하였다. 라세미화 반응을 위하여 촉매로 산성 제올라이트를 사용하였고 속도론적 광학분할(kinetic resolution, KR)을 위하여 고정화 효소를 촉매로 사용하였다. 유기용매와 물을 용매로 사용하는 이상 DKR 반응에서, acyl donor, 반응온도, 기질의 농도, 두 가지 촉매의 상대적 비율 및 교반속도 등의 공정변수를 변화시켜가면서 DKR반응의 전환율과 생성물의 광학순도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과, $\rho$, $\alpha$-dimethyl benzyl alcohol의 DKR 반응에서 99% 이상의 광학순도를 가지는 생성물을 최대 88%의 높은 수율로 얻을 수 있었으며, 높은 TON에서도 반응의 효율성이 유지되었고 촉매의 재사용 시에도 지속적인 활성을 나타내었다.

Information on temporal evolution of whole velocity fields are essential for physical understanding of a complicated turbulent flow. Due to advances of high-speed imaging technique, laser and electronics, high-speed digital cameras and high-repetition pulse lasers are commercially available in nowadays. A dynamic PIV system that can measure consecutive instantaneous velocity field with 1K$\times$ 1K pixels resolution at 1 fps was developed. It consists of a high-speed CMOS camera and a high-repetition Nd:YLF pulse laser. Theoretically, it can capture velocity fields at 20 fps with a reduced spatial resolution. In order to validate its performance, the dynamic PIV system was applied to a turbulent jet of which Reynolds number is about 3000. The particle images of 1024$\times$512 pixels were captured at a sampling rate of 4 KHz. The dynamic PIV system measured successfully the temporal evolution of instantaneous velocity fields of the turbulent jet, from which spectral analysis of turbulent structure was also feasible.
