3D ultrasound bladder scanners are getting popular in hospitals for the patients with bladder dysfunction. A current bladder scanner adopts a mechanical scan to acquire 3D images and requires two motors and complicated mechanical devices. In this paper, we propose a new ultrasound bladder scanner using hand-motion scan. Instead of two motors and mechanical devices, it has a motion sensor to record transducer positions during hand-motion scan. The experiments with a bladder phantom and volunteers showed similar measurement accuracy to a conventional 3D ultrasound bladder scanner. We expect that the proposed method will reduce the cost and size of the bladder scanner.

This paper presents a visual touch recognition for NUI(Natural User Interface) using Voronoi-tessellation algorithm. The proposed algorithms are three parts as follows: hand region extraction, hand feature point extraction, visual-touch recognition. To improve the robustness of hand region extraction, we propose RGB/HSI color model, Canny edge detection algorithm, and use of spatial frequency information. In addition, to improve the accuracy of the recognition of hand feature point extraction, we propose the use of Douglas Peucker algorithm, Also, to recognize the visual touch, we propose the use of the Voronoi-tessellation algorithm. Finally, we demonstrate the feasibility and applicability of the proposed algorithms through some experiments.

줄넘기는 줄을 돌리는 손동작과 뛰어오르는 동작이 결합된 운동으로 정확한 카운트를 위해서는 두 동작을 함께 고려해야 한다. 이전의 연구들에서는 단순 반복적인 운동인 윗몸일으키기, 팔굽혀펴기, 아령 운동과 함께 치부하여 하나의 동작만을 체크하여 카운트 하였다. 이것은 실제 줄넘기 동작과는 차이가 있으며 두 동작 중 하나의 동작만을 하고 있다면 확인해내지 못하는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 6축 가속도 자이로 센서를 이용하여 두 동작을 모두 확인하고 카운트하는 방법을 제안한다. 가속도 센서를 이용하여 뛰어오르는 동작을 확인하며 자이로 센서를 이용하여 손동작을 확인한다. 이때 확인되는 값의 파형을 이용하여 줄넘기 횟수를 카운트하게 된다. 제안하는 방법은 실제 실험을 통하여 카운트 방법의 성능을 확인할 수 있다.

시각장애인들은 상품들에 대한 점자 정보와 지원 시스템의 부재로 인해 소매점을 이용하는데 어려움을 겪고 있다. 그에 따라 본 연구에서는 소매점 내 상품을 인식하고, 이를 음성으로 해설하는 시스템의 기본 알고리즘을 제안한다. 우선, 딥러닝 모델이 입력 이미지에서 손 객체와 상품 객체를 감지한다. 그리고 각 객체의 좌표 정보를 계산하여 손 객체와 가장 많이 겹치는 상품 객체를 찾는다. 그 상품을 사용자가 선택한 상품이라고 판단한 뒤, 해당 상품의 대한 영양 정보를 Text-To-Speech를 사용하여 읽어준다. 평가 결과, 학습 모델의 성능이 높은 것을 확인하였다. 본 알고리즘은 시각장애인의 소매점 이용을 지원하는 시스템 구축에 적극적으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Spectrum sensing, as a fundamental functionality of Cognitive Radio (CR), enables Secondary Users (SUs) to monitor the spectrum and detect spectrum holes that could be used. Recently, the security issues of Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) have attracted increasing research attention. As one of the attacks against CRNs, a Primary User Emulation (PUE) attack compromises the spectrum sensing of CR, where an attacker monopolizes the spectrum holes by impersonating the Primary User (PU) to prevent SUs from accessing the idle frequency bands. Energy detection is often used to sense the spectrum in CRNs, but the presence of PUE attack has not been considered. This study examined the effect of PUE attack on the performance of energy detection-based spectrum sensing technique. In the proposed protocol, the stationary helper nodes (HNs) are deployed in multiple stages and distributed over the coverage area of the PUs to deliver spectrum status information to the next stage of HNs and to SUs. On the other hand, the first stage of HNs is also responsible for inferring the existence of the PU based on the energy detection technique. In addition, this system provides the detection threshold under the constraints imposed on the probabilities of a miss detection and false alarm.

This study was conducted to evaluate a visual surveillance system. The advancement of recording technology and network service make it easy to record and transfer the videos. Moreover, progressed recognition technology help to make a distinction each other. Cows show distinguishing behaviors during their estrus period. The mounting is one of the behaviors. The result was different depending on the breed of the cows and the size of the farm. In the case of Korean native cattle, the estrus detection rate was 71.15%, however, dairy cows, the estrus detection rate was 39.38%. At the farms having below 6 modules, the estrus detection rate was 87.41%. On the other hand, at the farms having over 6 modules, the estrus detection rate was 77.78%. With the proper progress, the visual surveillance system can be used to detect heat detection.

Self-encoded spread spectrum (SESS) is a novel modulation technique that acquires its spreading code from a random information source, rather than using the traditional pseudo-random noise (PN) codes. In this paper, we present our study of the SESS system performance under pulsed-noise jamming and show that iterative detection can significantly improve the bit error rate (BER) performance. The jamming performance of the SESS with correlation detection is verified to be similar to that of the conventional direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) system. On the other hand, the time diversity detection of the SESS can completely mitigate the effect of jamming by exploiting the inherent temporal diversity of the SESS system. Furthermore, iterative detection with multiple iterations can not only eliminate the jamming completely but also achieve a gain of approximately 1 dB at $10^{-3}$ BER as compared with the binary phase shift keying (BPSK) system under additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) by effectively combining the correlation and time diversity detections.

지형도 제작, 환경, 산림, 시설물 탐지 등의 분야에서 위성영상이나 항공사진을 이용하여 변화탐지가 수행되어 왔다. Landsat이나NOAA 위성의 저해상 영상은 자동 변화탐지에 사용되어 왔으며, 항공사진과 같은 고해상 영상은 판독에 의한 변화탐지에 사용되었다. 고해상 위성영상을 이용하여 이러한 자동 변화탐지와 수동 변화탐지를 통합하려는 시도가 있지만, 그림자, 중심 투영 영상으로 인한 건물의 왜곡, 정밀한 기하보정 등의 문제점이 발견되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 IKONOS 위성영상을 이용하여 변화 탐지를 수행하고, 이에 따른 문제점을 살펴보도록 하겠다.

This paper presents a method for automatically detecting Korean prosodic boundaries using both acoustic and grammatical information for the performance improvement of speech information processing systems. While most of previous works are solely based on grammatical information, our method utilizes not only grammatical information constructed by a Maximum-Entropy-based grammar model using 10 grammatical features, but also acoustical information constructed by a GMM-based acoustic model using 14 acoustic features. Given that Korean prosodic structure has two intonationally defined prosodic units, intonation phrase (IP) and accentual phrase (AP), experimental results show that the detection rate of AP boundaries is 82.6%, which is higher than the labeler agreement rate in hand transcribing, and that the detection rate of IP boundaries is 88.7%, which is slightly lower than the labeler agreement rate.

Renal cell carcinoma is the most common histological type of renal malignancy, predominant in men and the primary treatment modality of this tumor is surgery. The role of diagnostic imaging in the management of this tumor is the evaluation of extent of disease as well as the detection and characterization of renal mass. US has long been a routine screening tool for kidney but tomographic imaging modalities such as CT and MRI begin to be also commonly used these days. On the other hand, the sensitivity of $^{18}F-FDG-PET$ in detection of renal mass is relatively low because of inherent limitation caused by FDG excretion pathway despite avid uptake of FDG to tumor cell per se. Many studies revealed FDG PET scan could play an important role in detection of metastatic lesions although the sensitivity for the detection of primary lesion is not so high. Furthermore, development of PET/CT scanner will make it possible to expand the indication of FDG PET scan in this malignancy.
