본 논문에서는 영상의 동질성 영역 분할을 위한 동질성 문턱 값(Homogeneity Threshold: $H_T$)의 자동 추출과 USRG(Unseeded Region Growing) 기반의 동질성 영역 자동 분할 방법을 제안한다. $H_T$는 인접한 화소들 간에 동질성을 구분하는 기준이 되며, 제안한 방법에 의하여 원본영상으로부터 자동 계산된다. 제안한 방법의 이론적 배경은 Otsu의 단일수준 문턱 값(single level threshold) 방법인데, 이것은 원본 영상의 작은 국소영역을 두 클래스로 분할하기 위하여 사용되고, 두 클래스가 서로 다른 영역으로 구별되는 조건을 만족할 때의 각 클래스의 표준편차의 합($\sigma_c$)을 $H_T$를 계산하기 위한 요소로 사용한다. 제안한 방법의 타당성을 보이기 위해 분할된 동질성 영역들만을 가지고 새롭게 생성한 영상과 원본 영상과의 비교를 통해 시각적으로 차이가 없음을 보이고, 분할된 동질성 영역의 크기순과 화소수가 많은 명암도 순으로 분할된 영역들을 결합한 영상들과 자동 추출된 문턱 값($H_T$)에 범위조정계수 ${\alpha}$을 적용한 값($H^*_T$)를 가지고 분할한 결과 영상들의 제시를 통해 제안한 방법에 대한 타당성을 보였다. 제안한 방법은 해부학이나 생물학의 연구 및 자연 영상의 시각화와 애니메이션 등 다양한 분야에서 활용될 수 있으리라 기대한다.

본 논문에서는 영상의 동질성 문턱 값(Homogeneity Threshold:$H_T$)을 이용한 영상분할방법에서 영상의 과분할 발생을 해결하기 위한 개선된 영상분할 방법을 제안한다. $H_T$을 기반으로 한 영역성장(Region Growth) 알고리듬은 선택된 윈도우의 중심화소만을 사용하기 때문에 과 분할이 발생하였으나, 제안한 방법에서는 선택된 윈도우에 대한 동질성 여부를 조사하여 동질성을 만족할 경우 선택된 윈도우 화소전체를 영역병합에 사용하고 선택 윈도우가 동질성 윈도우를 만족하지 않을 때에는 윈도우의 중심화소를 사용함으로써 영역의 과 분할을 현저하게 줄일 수 있었다. 제안한 방법의 타당성을 보이기 위하여 기존방법과 동일한 영상을 동일한 조건으로 실험하였으며, 그 결과 제안한 방법은 기존 방법에 비해 영역의 개수를 40% 이상 줄이면서도 시각적으로 영상의 품질에 차이가 없음을 볼 수 있었다. 특히 분할된 영역의 크기순으로 결합한 영상을 가지고 비교 했을 때, 기존방법에서는 분할된 영역의 큰 영역으로부터 1,000개 이상의 영역을 결합하여도 어떠한 영상인지 구분하기가 힘들었으나, 제안한 방법에서는 10개 내외의 영역만 결합하여도 어떠한 이미지인지 식별할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 제안한 방법은 특정 영상으로부터의 객체 추출이나 정보검색 혹은 해부학이나 생물학 분야의 연구 및 영상 시각화와 애니메이션 등 다양한 분야에서 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This paper deals with the estimation of the time of arrival (TOA) of ultra-wideband signals under IEEE 802.15.4a channel models. The proposed approach is based on a randomness test and consists of determining whether an autoregressive (AR) process modeling an energy frame is random or not by using a distance to measure the randomness. The proposed method uses a threshold that is derived analytically according to a preset false alarm probability. To highlight the effectiveness of the developed approach, simulation setups as well as real data experiments are conducted to assess the performance of the new TOA estimation algorithm. Thereby, the proposed method is compared with the cell averaging constant false alarm rate technique, the threshold comparison algorithm, and the technique based on maximum energy selection with search back. The obtained results are promising, considering both simulations and collected real-life data.

Thresholding is a popular image segmentation method that converts a gray-level image into a binary image. The selection of optimum threshold has remained a challenge over decades. Many image segmentation techniques are developed using information about image in other space rather than the image space itself. Most of the technique based on histogram analysis information-theoretic approaches. In this paper, the criterion function for finding optimal threshold is developed using an intensity-based classuncertainty (a histogram-based property of an image) and region-homogeneity (an image morphology-based property). The theory of the optimum thresholding method is based on postulates that objects manifest themselves with fuzzy boundaries in any digital image acquired by an imaging device. The performance of the proposed method is illustrated on experimental data obtained by W-band millimeter-wave radiometer image under different noise level.

Experimental studies were performed to investigate the injury potential of BB pellets through gelatine based simulants. In order to record BB pellet movements penetrating into the target simulant, a high-speed video camera was used. In this study the first investigation involved the effects on concentrations, homogeneity and gelation times of the gelatine simulant. The second investigation involved the penetration depth of the pellets to the simulant by different distances between the BB gun and the simulant. The final one is associated with impact velocity, threshold velocity and penetration depth of the pellets by different kinetic energies of the BB gun. Results provided the basis in assessing the injury potential of BB pellets.

Steam and advection fogs are frequently observed in the Yellow Sea located between Korea and China during the periods of March-April and June-July respectively. This study uses the remote sensing (RS) data for monitoring sea fog. Meteorological data obtained from the Ieodo Ocean Research Station provided an informative synopsis for the occurrence of steam and advection fogs through a ground truth. The RS data used in this study was GOES-9, MTSAT-1R images and QuikSCAT wind data. A dual channel difference (DCD) approach using IR and near-IR channel of GOES-9 and MTSAT-1R satellites was applied to estimate the extension of the sea fog. For the days examined, it was found that not only the DCD but also the texture-related measurement and the weak wind condition are required to separate the sea fog from the low cloud. The QuikSCAT wind is used to provide a weak wind area less than threshold under stable condition of the surface wind around a fog event. The Laplacian computation for a measurement of the homogeneity was designed. A new combined method of DCD, QuikSCAT wind speed and Laplacian was applied in the twelve cases with GOES-9 and MTSAT-1R. The threshold values for DCD, QuikSCAT wind speed and Laplacian are -2.0 K, 8 m $s^{-1}$ and 0.1, respectively. The validation methods such as Heidke skill score, probability of detection, probability of false detection, true skill score and odds ratio show that the new combined method improves the detection of sea fog rather than DCD method.

Background: The treatment of pain in the iliotibial band friction syndrome has been difficult to determine, according to studies to date. However, recent studies have suggested that flexibility in the subacute stage of pain in the iliotibial band friction syndrome may help reduce pain. Objective: To investigate the immediate effect on pressure pain threshold and flexibility of the tensor fascia latae and iliotibial band by applying static and dynamic myofascial release foam rolling and self-stretching to adults with shortening iliotibial band. Design: Randomized controlled trial Methods: In this study, 50 subjects who were selected in advance as a randomized controlled trial were randomly allocated using a R Studio program. The included subjects were randomly allocated to three intervention groups. The static self-myofascial release 18 people, dynamic self-myofascial release group 16 people separated the self-stretching group 16 people and conducted a homogeneity check in advance. Before the start of the experiment, after of the experiment, 5 minutes after the end of the experiment, the pressure pain threshold and flexibility change for each part were measured. Results: The results of this study showed that the static self-myofascial release showed a significant difference in the pressure pain threshold in the tensor fascia latae and middle, lower part of the iliotibial band, compared with the other intervention groups (p<.05). In change of flexibility, the static self-myofascial release was significantly different than the other intervention groups (p<.05). Conclusion: The result of this study suggest that static self-myofascial release using foam roller may help to improve the pain and flexibility of the iliotibial band and to apply it as a more discerning intervention.

This paper describes the variations in eight agronomic traits in three unadapted local landraces and an inbred cultivar of corn. To compare the agronomic traits in field evaluation with molecular marker evaluation the genotypes of the plant introduction were also checked by 4 microsatellite-SSR loci. The variations of the eight agronomic traits were higher in the local landrades than in the inbred line. which was substantiated by the high genetic variation in the landrades with microsatellite-SSR loci. The level of genetic variation was also different between landraces. Since the genetic evaluation can be easily quantified by the analysis of microsatellite-SSR loci. the threshold level of genetic homogeneity in the population for parental lines in breeding program can be determined and the effort of maintaining the landrace population would be alleviated. As an example in our analysis. the entry from Whachon should not need the same number of selfing generations as the other two landraces to get the level of inbred state. Since this line showed lowest intra-genetic variation within the population.

In this paper, we proposed the novel method for the recognition of English calling cards by using the projection method and the enhanced RBF (Radial Basis Function) network. The recognition of calling cards consists of the extraction phase of character areas and the recognition phase of extracted characters. In the extraction phase, first of all, noises are removed from the images of calling cards, and the feature areas including character strings are separated from the calling card images by using the horizontal smearing method and the 8-directional contour tracking method. And using the image projection method, the feature areas are split into the areas of individual characters. We also proposed the enhanced RBF network that organizes the middle layer effectively by using the enhanced ART1 neural network adjusting the vigilance threshold dynamically according to the homogeneity between patterns. In the recognition phase, the proposed neural network is applied to recognize individual characters. Our experiment result showed that the proposed recognition algorithm has higher success rate of recognition and faster learning time than the existing neural network based recognition.
