This paper presents a new watermarking method based on wavelet transform. Embedding algorithm call define robust area by varying thresholds and gives a watermark image the priority of significance by analyzing spatial correlation of the watermark image. Detector can adjust thresholds to the distorted watermarked image. Also detector can extract the embedded data without an original image. A new measurement for detecting the correct watermark is suggested. Simulation results show that the embedded watermark is robust against various signal processing and compression attacks.

We have developed a small bore x-ray CT for small animal imaging with a linear x-ray detector array and small-scale slip rings. The linear x-ray detector array consists of 1024 elements of 400□m×400□m with a gadolinium oxysulfide (GOS) scintillator on top of them. To avoid use of expensive large diameter slip rings for projection data transmission from the X­ray detector to the image reconstruction system, we used the wireless LAN technology. The projection data are temporally stored in the data acquisition system residing on the rotating gantry during the scan and they are transmitted to the image reconstruction system after the scan. With the wireless LAN technology, we only needed to use small-scale slip rings to deliver the AC electric power to the X-ray generator and the power supply on the rotating gantry. The performances of the small animal CT system, such as SNR, contrast, and spatial resolution, have been evaluated through experiments using various phantoms. It has been experimentally found that the SNR is almost linearly proportional to the tube current and tube voltage, and the minimum resolvable contrast is less than 30 CT numbers at 40kVp/3.0㎃. The spatial resolution of the small animal CT system has been found to be about 0.9Ip/㎜. Postmortem images of a piglet is also presented.

다목적실용위성 3호는 고해상도 0.7m 흑백영상을 촬영할 수 있는 PAN 카메라와 2.8m 다중파장대의 칼라 영상을 수집할 수 있는 멀티스펙터럴 카메라를 탑재하고 있다. 이를 통하여 취득한 위성영상은 국토관리, 농업, 환경, 해양감시 및 GIS등의 광범위한 분야에 활용될 예정이다. 다목적실용위성3호의 15km의 관측폭을 가지는 영상을 생성하기 위해, 각 detector의 양 끝단의 20 pixel을 제외하고 24,020 픽셀로 구성된다. 이러한 크기의 CCD를 하나의 CCD로 구성하는 것은 매우 어렵기 때문에 다목적실용위성 3호는 12,080 픽셀로 구성된 두 detector로 구성되며, 따라서 두 detector의 기하학적 특성이 각기 다른 특징을 가지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 다목적실용위성3호의 한 밴드내의 기하학적 특성을 분석하기 위한 시뮬레이션 영상의 생성과정을 서술하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 검출기의 중심축을 자동 보정하는 초소형 CT를 설계 및 제작하고 성능을 검증하였다. 3D CAD 데이터와 초소형 CT 검출기 중심축을 수동으로 보정하여 촬영한 X-ray 데이터를 사용하여 3차원 재구성 성능을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 중심축이 0.25° 이상 기울면 원형 깨짐 현상이 발생하면서 3차원 재구성 영상의 품질이 급격히 저하된다는 사실을 발견하였다. 검출기 중심축 자동보정 장치를 적용하여 검출기 중심축이 시편 회전축과 일치하도록 보정하여 3차원 재구성 성능을 향상시켰다.

Transillumination system used by radiation is widely applied to industrial imaging system. In this study, the linear detector array constructed with scintillator and pin diode, and a multi-channel data acquisition system was developed for precision inspection of end-milling. The detector module consists of $16-CdWO_4$crystal scintillator and photodiode array. The detector and data acquisition system was applied to precision inspection of end-mill and the images of the end-mill were successfully reconstructed. The total system can analyze the Detector Quantum Efficiency(DQE) of each system. The performance of developed photodiodes equipment was compared with each other for different crystal geometry and its characteristics. Finally fine details of the end-mill phantom were constructed for industrial application. The image acquired contains several objects on a real time data transfer and the linear X-ray scanning system can be applied to many fields of a industry.

X-ray computed tomography is a very powerful nondestructive technique in safety inspection of historic timber building. But, in field, various testing condition makes it difficult to carry out X-ray CT testing. Limited size in X-ray digital detector is one of the problems. In this study, a pitch pine disk with two holes was used to know how imperfection in X-ray projection affects CT image resolution. Using various number of projections, CT image was reconstructed by filtered back projection method, and then it was investigated how many projection is required to identify the holes in different location. Two artificial holes could be differently detected according to their location in cross section of specimen. One hole in center part of specimen was identified using more than 9 radiographs, but the other one which located in outer part of cross section could not be detected until more than 36 projections were used. Even though there is data missing in outer part of cross section due to limited size of detector, the center part of CT image could be reconstructed well and the resolution of outer part became higher with increase of the number of projections. For field application, the number of projections for CT image reconstruction needs to be decided with consideration of another nondestructive testing and the location of interest.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the image quality, diagnostic efficacy, and radiation dose associated with the use of a cadmium telluride (CdTe) detector, compared to charge-coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal oxide semiconductor(CMOS) detectors. Materials and Methods: Lateral cephalographs of a phantom (type 1) composed of synthetic polymer filled with water and another phantom (type 2) composed of human skull macerated with polymer coating were obtained with CdTe, CCD, and CMOS detectors. Dosimeters placed on the type 2 phantom were used to measure radiation. Noise levels from each image were also measured. McNamara cephalometric analysis was conducted, the dentoskeletal configurations were assessed, and a subjective evaluation of image quality was conducted. Parametric data were compared via 1-way analysis of variance with the Tukey post-hoc test, with a significance level of 5%. Subjective image quality and dentoskeletal configuration were described qualitatively. Results: A statistically significant difference was found among the images obtained with the 3 detectors(P<0.05), with the lowest noise level observed among the images obtained with the CdTe detector and a higher subjective preference demonstrated for those images. For the cephalometric analyses, no significant difference (P>0.05) was observed, and perfect agreement was seen with regard to the classifications obtained from the images acquired using the 3 detectors. The radiation dose associated with the CMOS detector was higher than the doses associated with the CCD (P<0.05) and CdTe detectors(P<0.05). Conclusion: Considering the evaluated parameters, the CdTe detector is recommended for use in clinical practice.

Purpose: This study is to analyze the image classification using Convolution Neural Network and Transfer Learning for Jeju Island and to suggest related implications. As the biggest tourist destination in Korea, Jeju Island encounters environmental issues frequently caused by marine debris along the seaside. The ever-increasing volume of plastic waste requires multidirectional management and protection. Research design, data and methodology: In this study, the deep learning CNN algorithm was used to train a number of images from Jeju clean and polluted beaches. In the process of validating and testing pre-processed images, we attempted to explore their applicability to coastal tourism applications through probabilities of classifying images and predicting clean shores. Results: We transformed and augmented 194 small image dataset into 3,880 image data. The results of the pre-trained test set were 85%, 70% and 86%, and then its accuracy has increased through the process. We finally obtained a rapid convergence of 97.73% and 100% (20/20) in the actual training and validation sets. Conclusions: The tested algorithms are expected to implement in applications for tourism service distribution aimed at reducing coastal waste or in CCTVs as a detector or indicator for residents and tourists to protect clean beaches on Jeju Island.
