본 연구에서는 ASM기반 $(2D)^2$ 하이브리드 전처리 알고리즘을 이용한 얼굴인식 분류기와 그것의 설계방법론을 소개한다. 얼굴인식을 위한 이미지는 외부 환경에 쉽게 영향을 받기 때문에, 전처리 단계로 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 ASM을 사용하였다. 특히 사람 얼굴의 특징 추출을 목적으로 널리 이용되고 있다. ASM을 이용해 얼굴영역을 추출 한 뒤 PCA와 LDA를 이용한 $(2D)^2$ 하이브리드 전처리 알고리즘을 이용하여 차원을 축소한다. 전처리 알고리즘을 통한 얼굴데이터는 제안된 다항식 기반 방사형 기저함수 신경회로망의 입력으로 사용된다. 기존의 신경회로망과는 달리 제안된 지능형 패턴 분류기는 강인한 네트워크 특성을 가지며, 예측능력이 우수할 뿐만 아니라 다차원 입출력에 대한 문제도 해결했다. 분류기의 중요한 필수 설계 파라미터(행의 고유벡터의 수, 열의 고유벡터의 수, 클러스터의 수, 퍼지화 계수)는 ABC알고리즘에 의해 최적화 되어진다. 얼굴인식에 많이 사용되는 Yale과 AT&T를 사용하여 인식률을 평가하였다.

본 연구팀이 개발한 신개념 강내형 치과 진단 장치에서 촬영한 X선 치아영상으로부터 치아 우식증을 조기 단계에서 판별하고 치과의사의 정확한 진단을 돕기 위해서 병변진단 보조시스템인 치아 와동 자동 검출 프로그램을 개발하고자 하였다. 치아 와동 자동 검출 시스템을 구성하고 있는 기본 알고리즘은 치아 와동과 정상 치아를 구분 할 수 있는 영상분별 알고리즘과 치아 영상의 고유 특성 정보를 분석하고 이를 병변 검출에 적용할 수 있는 알고리즘으로 나눌 수가 있는데, 본 연구에서는 먼저, DRLSE 방법을 적용하여 병변과 정상치아 사이의 윤곽선 분할 성능을 테스트 하였다. 개발된 알고리즘의 와식 판별 성능을 테스트하기 위해서 다양한 형태의 와식을 포함하는 전치, 견치, 소구치 등의 7개의 치아팬텀을 제작하고 치아 와식 분별을 실시하였다. 총 14 개의 와식 중에 와식의 경계를 부분적으로 식별한 2개를 제외하고는 12개 와식의 경계를 정확하게 구별하여 개발된 자동 치아 병변 알고리즘의 가능성을 입증하였다. 그러나 실제 치아 와식의 형태는 개개인마다 다르고 복잡하기 때문에 무작위로 선택된 실제 치아에 적용하기 위해서는 보강된 알고리즘이 필요하다. 향후에는 치아에 대한 사전정보를 처리하고 적용하는 패턴 인식 혹은 기계학습 알고리즘을 추가하여 보다 효과적이고 정확한 병변 알고리즘으로 개선할 예정이다.

Mapping of artificial levee lines, one of major tasks in river zone mapping, is critical to prevention of river flood, protection of environments and eco systems in river zones. Thus, mapping of artificial levee lines is essential for management and development of river zones. Coastal mapping including river zone mapping has been historically carried out using surveying technologies. Photogrammetry, one of the surveying technologies, is recently used technology for national river zone mapping in Korea. Airborne laser scanning has been used in most advanced countries for coastal mapping due to its ability to penetrate shallow water and its high vertical accuracy. Due to these advantages, use of LiDAR data in coastal mapping is efficient for monitoring and predicting significant topographic change in river zones. This paper introduces a method for construction of a 3D artificial levee line using a set of LiDAR points that uses normal vectors. Multiple steps are involved in this method. First, a 2.5-dimensional Delaunay triangle mesh is generated based on three nearest-neighbor points in the LiDAR data. Second, a median filtering is applied to minimize noise. Third, edge selection algorithms are applied to extract break edges from a Delaunay triangle mesh using two normal vectors. In this research, two methods for edge selection algorithms using hypothesis testing are used to extract break edges. Fourth, intersection edges which are extracted using both methods at the same range are selected as the intersection edge group. Fifth, among intersection edge group, some linear feature edges which are not suitable to compose a levee line are removed as much as possible considering vertical distance, slope and connectivity of an edge. Sixth, with all line segments which are suitable to constitute a levee line, one river levee line segment is connected to another river levee line segment with the end points of both river levee line segments located nearest horizontally and vertically to each other. After linkage of all the river levee line segments, the initial river levee line is generated. Since the initial river levee line consists of the LiDAR points, the pattern of the initial river levee line is being zigzag along the river levee. Thus, for the last step, a algorithm for smoothing the initial river levee line is applied to fit the initial river levee line into the reference line, and the final 3D river levee line is constructed. After the algorithm is completed, the proposed algorithm is applied to construct the 3D river levee line in Zng-San levee nearby Ham-Ahn Bo in Nak-Dong river. Statistical results show that the constructed river levee line generated using a proposed method has high accuracy in comparison to the ground truth. This paper shows that use of LiDAR data for construction of the 3D river levee line for river zone mapping is useful and efficient; and, as a result, it can be replaced with ground surveying method for construction of the 3D river levee line.

고차원 데이터 공간에서의 효과적인 검색을 위해 최근 VA-file[1], LPC-file[2] 등과 같이 벡터 근사에 기반을 둔 필터링 색인 방법들이 연구되었다. 필터링 색인 방법은 벡터를 근사한 작은 크기의 색인 정보를 사용하여 근사 거리를 계산하고, 이를 사용하여 질의 벡터와 유사하지 않은 대부분의 벡터들을 빠른 시간 안에 검색 대상에서 제외한다. 즉, 실제 벡터 대신 근사 벡터를 읽어 디스크 I/O 시간을 줄여 전체 검색 속도를 향상시키는 것이다. 하지만 VA-file 이나 LPC-file은 근사 거리를 구하는 방법이 순차 검색과 같거나 복잡하기 때문에 검색 속도 향상 효과가 그리 크지 않다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 근사 거리 계산 시간을 줄이기 위하여 새로운 비트맵 색인 구조를 제안한다. 근사 거리 계산속도의 향상을 위하여, 각 객체의 값을 특성 벡터 공간상의 위치를 나타내는 비트 패턴으로 저장하고, 객체 사이의 거리를 구하는 연산은 실제 벡터 값의 연산보다 속도가 훨씬 빠른 XOR 비트 연산으로 대체한다. 실험에 의하면 본 논문이 제안하는 방법은 기존 벡터 근사 접근 방법들과 비교하여 데이터 읽기시간은 더 크지만, 계산 시간을 크게 줄임으로써 전체 검색 속도는 순차 검색의 약 4배, 기존의 방법들보다는 최대 2배의 성능이 향상되었다. 결과적으로, 데이터베이스의 속도가 충분히 빠른 경우 기존의 벡터 근사 접근법의 필터링을 위한 계산 시간을 줄임으로써 더욱 검색 성능을 향상 시킬 수 있음을 확인할 수 있다.

Lectins belong to the pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) class and play important roles in the recognition and elimination of pathogens via the innate immune system. Recently, it was reported that lily-type lectin-1 is involved when a pathogen attacks in the early immune response of fish. However, this study is limited to information that the lectin is involved in the innate immune response against viral infection. In the present study, the lily-type lectin-2 and -3 of Oplegnathus fasciatus (OfLTL-2 and 3) have been presented to be included B-lectin domain and two D-mannose binding sites in the amino acid sequence that an important feature for the fundamental structure. To investigate the functional properties of OfLTLs, the tissue distribution in the healthy rock bream and temporal expression during early developmental stage analysis are performed using quantitative real-time PCR. OfLTL-2 and 3 are predominantly expressed in the liver and skin, but rarely expressed in other organ. Also, the transcripts of OfLTLs are not expressed during the early developmental stage but its transcripts are increased after immune-related organs which are fully formed. In the challenge experiment with RBIV (rock bream iridovirus), the expression of OfLTLs was increased much more strongly in the late response than the early, unlike previously known. These results suggest that OfLTLs are specifically expressed in the immune-related tissues when those organs are fully formed and it can be inferred that the more intensively involved in the second half to the virus infection.

In Korea, quality evaluation of dried oak mushrooms are done first by classifying them into more than 10 different categories based on the state of opening of the cap, surface pattern, and colors. And mushrooms of each category are further classified into 3 or 4 groups based on its shape and size, resulting into total 30 to 40 different grades. Quality evaluation and sorting based on the external visual features are usually done manually. Since visual features of mushroom affecting quality grades are distributed over the entire surface of the mushroom, both front (cap) and back (stem and gill) surfaces should be inspected thoroughly. In fact, it is almost impossible for human to inspect every mushroom, especially when they are fed continuously via conveyor. In this paper, considering real time on-line system implementation, image processing algorithms utilizing artificial neural network have been developed for the quality grading of a mushroom. The neural network based image processing utilized the raw gray value image of fed mushrooms captured by the camera without any complex image processing such as feature enhancement and extraction to identify the feeding state and to grade the quality of a mushroom. Developed algorithms were implemented to the prototype on-line grading and sorting system. The prototype was developed to simplify the system requirement and the overall mechanism. The system was composed of automatic devices for mushroom feeding and handling, a set of computer vision system with lighting chamber, one chip microprocessor based controller, and pneumatic actuators. The proposed grading scheme was tested using the prototype. Network training for the feeding state recognition and grading was done using static images. 200 samples (20 grade levels and 10 per each grade) were used for training. 300 samples (20 grade levels and 15 per each grade) were used to validate the trained network. By changing orientation of each sample, 600 data sets were made for the test and the trained network showed around 91 % of the grading accuracy. Though image processing itself required approximately less than 0.3 second depending on a mushroom, because of the actuating device and control response, average 0.6 to 0.7 second was required for grading and sorting of a mushroom resulting into the processing capability of 5,000/hr to 6,000/hr.

Current information-oriented society is expanding rapidly with the huge change to our society from the information revolution emerged in mid '50s. Information technique such as computer, communication satellite and cable technology play their in this information-oriented society, and in 1980s, digital technique was adopted to media, inviting new phenomenon in communication of overall society. Expectations and hope for new trends and changes from digital era flourished when we entered into new Millenium, the 21st century. Since then we have gone through changes in years from analogue to digital. Now the word 'digital' is conceived in unified manner in almost every fields and influences overall society, changing our life pattern rapidly. Modern society had demanded some speedy and bidirectional communication tool in shifting digital era, and resulted from that was a new culture, Now the society changes more and more quickly under the speedy information sharing. From that perspective we need to establish the aspects of sensibility expression, which is one feature of the communication. The sensibility-oriented digital was originated from the human nature, which counts emotion and composure much. To satisfy the human nature a new cultural value which transcend a traditional one is needed. And the sensitivity expression to meet the need is one communication tendency in digital era. Digital era has totally different social qualities from that of analogue era. In digital era, prompt respond to rapid change and creativity combined with sensitivity are needed. Therefore a man with sensitivity would be more outstanding than a man of intelligence. The picture of digital and analogue in our society consists of two axis one is analogue axis like retrospective trend, admiration for nature , oriental thought etc. , and the other is the digital axis of internet and information technology. Sensibility can be widely interpreted as analogue thinking. It is surely different from the plain retrospective trend or nostalgia for past. It is a tendency that digital technology is used and cooperated with the emotion in human nature, In this paper we suggest the sensitivity expressions in detail through the study cases including both sides of digital and sensitivity expressions such as 'Bravo your life' advertising campaign of Samsung Insurance, MP3 advertising campaign, and 'Mini-homepage' of Cyworld. Under the circumstances the main direction of communication is oriented to human. This study's purpose is to think the true meaning of this digital era, to overcoming its weaknesses, such as over-dependency on technique and selfish individualism and to harmonize digital and sensitivity expression. The sensitivity-oriented expression than the reason-oriented one is expected to be put forth in whole media, and this is a more efficient tendency under the shifting digital era.

Sero-epidemiologic survey has been carried out to establish serologically the presence of hantavirus in areas of South Africa. The survey was oriented to search natural infection in both of humans and wild rodents and involvement of human disease. The normal human sera were collected from the residents in urban and rural areas of Western Cape, and rural area of Eastern Cape province. The rodent sera came from various species of rodents trapped in Northern Cape and Western Free provinces. The patient sera were selected from the patients of renal failure, pulmonary syndrome and pyrexia of unknown origin (PUQ) according to diagnostic chart among the patients hospitalized in major hospitals of Cape Town area. The sera were screened and titrated by IFA test using antigens of Hantaan (HTN), Seoul (SEO), Puumala (PUU), and Prospect Hill (PH) viruses primarily. Positive cases were subjected to differential IFA test using HTN, PUU and PH antigens and plaque reduction neutralization test for further confirmation. Anti-hantavirus antibodies were detected from 2 of 352 rural, 1 of 172 urban residents of E. Cape, and 5 of 118 rural, 5 of 368 urban residents of W. Cape. The antibody was also demonstrated from 5 of 221 wild rodents, and it was appeared that 2 different species, Aethomys namaquensis and Tatem leucogaster, are involved. Among 318 patients tested, 3 who were diagnosed as chronic renal failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and glomerulonephritis were proved to be positive. The reaction patterns obtained from all of these positive sera were distinct from hantaviral sero-patterns ever established. This result suggests that new viruses may exist in this area and play an possible etiologic role in human disease. The feature of serologic survey on anti-hantavirus antibody demonstrable newly from African wild rodents which are different from reservoir species in other continents elicits a conjecture that the virus may be different from known hantaviruses ever found. This fact also suggests that an expanded role in etiologic involvement with other unknown human diseases by newly emerging hantaviruses may be possible in this areas.
