A developed skill of an intelligent CCTV is also advancing by using its Image Acquisition Device. The most important part in the field of detecting comparatively fast moving objects is to effectively reduce the loads on updating the background image in order to achieve real-time update. However, the ability of the current general-purpose computer extracting the texture as characteristics has limits in application mostly due to the loads on processes. In this thesis, an algorithm for real-time updating the background image in an applied area such as detecting the fast moving objects like a driving car in a video of at least 30 frames per second is suggested and the performance is analyzed by a test of extracting object region from real input image.

This paper describes the implementation of AUSV system for Sonar Image acquisition. The system be controlled by FF-PID algorithm for the thrusters using motion sensor and DGPS. As experimental results, the control performance is that the error distance from the destination positions are under 5m in total survey track of 1km, and the image deviation is under 12 pixel from the manned survey method, which the comparison with the total image quality is almost the same as the manned survey one. Thus the AUSV system is a new method of system can be utilized on the limited survey area as the surveyor should not be able to approach on sea surface.

Although stationary inverse-geometry digital tomosynthesis (s-IGDT) is able to reduce motion artifacts, image acquisition time and radiation dose, the image quality of the s-IGDT is degraded due to the truncations arisen in projections. Therefore, the effects of geometric and image acquisition conditions in the s-IGDT should be analyzed for improving the image quality and clinical applicability of the s-IGDT system. In this study, the s-IGDT images were obtained with the various X-ray source arrangement types and the various number of projections. The resolution and noise characteristics of the obtained s-IGDT images were evaluated, and the characteristics were compared with those of the conventional DT images. The s-IGDT system using linear X-ray source arrangement and 40 projections maximized the image characteristics of resolution and noise, and the corresponding system was superior to the conventional DT system in terms of image resolution. In conclusion, we expect that the s-IGDT system can be used for providing medical images in diagnosis.

Purpose: The static image of nuclear medicine study should be acquired without a motion, however, it is difficult to acquire static image without movement for the serious patients, advanced aged patients. These movements cause decreases in reliability for quantitative and qualitative analysis, therefore re-examination was inevitable in the some cases. Consequently, in order to improve the problem of motion artifacts, the authors substituted the dynamic acquisition technique for the static acquisition, using motion correction. Materials and Methods: A capillary tube and IEC body phantom were used. First, the static image was acquired for 60 seconds while the dynamic images were acquired with a protocol, 2 sec/frame${\times}$30 frames, under the same parameter and the frames were summed up into one image afterwards. Also, minimal motion and excessive motion were applied during the another dynamic acquisition and the coordinate correction was applied towards X and Y axis on the frames where the motion artifact occurred. But the severe blurred images were deleted. Finally, the resolution and counts were compared between the static image and the summed dynamic images which before and after applying motion correction, and the signal of frequency was analysed after frequency spatial domain was transformed into 2D FFT. Supplementary examination, the blind test was performed by the nuclear medicine department staff. Results: First, the resolution in the static image and summed dynamic image without motion were 8.32 mm, 8.37 mm on X-axis and 8.30 mm, 8.42 mm on Y-axis, respectively. The counts were 484 kcounts, 485 kcounts each, so there was nearly no difference. Secondly, the resolution in the image with minimal motion applying motion correction was 8.66 mm on X-axis, 8.85 mm on Y-axis and had 469 kcounts while the image without motion correction was 21.81 mm, 24.02 mm and 469 kcounts in order. So, this shows the image with minimal motion applying motion correction has similar resolution with the static image. Lastly, the resolution in the images with excessive motion applying motion correction were 9.09 mm on X-axis, 8.83 mm on Y-axis and had 469 kcounts while the image without motion correction was 47.35 mm, 40.46 mm and 255 kcounts in order. Although there was difference in counts because of deletion of blurred frames, we could get similar resolution. And when the image was transformed into frequency, the high frequency was decreased by the movement. However, the frequency was improved again after motion correction. In the blind test, there was no difference between the image applying motion correction and the static image without motion. Conclusion: There was no significant difference between the static image and the summed dynamic image. This technique can be applied to patients who may have difficulty remaining still during the imaging process, so that the quality of image can be improved as well as the reliance for analysis of quantity. Moreover, the re-examination rate will be considerably decreased. However, there is a limit of motion correction, more time will be required to successfully image the patients applying motion correction. Also, the decrease of total counts due to deletion of the severe blurred images should be calculated and the proper number of frames should be acquired.

The purpose of this study was to establish and provide guidelines for the standardized acquisition and interpretation of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) to improve the image quality and reduce the variability of the results interpretation. The standardized protocol includes the use of high-resolution DW-MRI with advanced techniques and post-processing. The aim of the protocol is to increase the effectiveness of the medical image information exchange involved in the construction, activation, and exchange of clinical information for healthcare use. An organized interpretation form could make DW-MRIs' interpretation easier and more familiar. Herein, the authors briefly review the basic principles, optimized image acquisition, standardized interpretation guidelines, false negative and false positive cases of DW-MRI, and provide a standard interpretation form and examples of various cases to help users become more familiar with the DW-MRI.

This study was conducted to confirm the safety of the operator's radiation exposure in the micro PET-CT image acquisition experiment using the ¹⁸F-FDG. The usage of ¹⁸F-FDG and the exposure dose of handlers were measured at University B in Metropolitan City A, which uses ¹⁸F-FDG for micro PET-CT image acquisition. As a result of the measurement, the exposure dose is far below the effective dose limit of radiation workers, 50 mSv per year, and the equivalent dose limit of 500 mSv per year for hands, feet, and skin. has been measured Since these exposure doses can be further increased according to the number of times of use of ¹⁸F-FDG, it is judged that the exposure dose compared to the handling amount of ¹⁸F-FDG shown in this study can be used as reference data. In addition, as changed environments such as the use of materials other than unopened RI are occurring in education and research environments, such as the use of ¹⁸F-FDG at University B, radiation exposure with more interest in safety management by checking the factors of radiation exposure of the handler concerned We will always do our best to reduce it.

Photogrammetry is a current method of GIS data acquisition. However, as a matter of fact, a large manpower and expenditure for making detailed 3D spatial information is required especially in urban areas where various buildings exist. There are no photogrammetric systems which can automate a process of spatial information acquisition completely. On the other hand, LiDAR has high potential of automating 3D spatial data acquisition because it can directly measure 3D coordinates of objects, but it is rather difficult to recognize the object with only LiDAR data, for its low resolution at this moment. With this background, we believe that it is very advantageous to integrate LiDAR data and stereo CCD images for more efficient and automated acquisition of the 3D spatial data with higher resolution. In this research, the automatic urban object recognition methodology was proposed by integrating ultra highresolution stereo images and LiDAR data. Moreover, a method to enable more reliable and detailed stereo matching method for CCD images was examined by using LiDAR data as an initial 3D data to determine the search range and to detect possibility of occlusions. Finally, intellectual DSMs, which were identified urban features with high resolution, were generated with high speed processing.
