The worn crater wear geometry of coated tools after machining has been configured by using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy(CLSM) and the Wavelet-based filtering technique. The CLSM can be well suited to construct the three-dimensional crater wear on the rake surfaces of coated tips. However, The raw heightness data of HEI(height encoded image) acquired by CLSM must be filtered due to the electronic and imaging noise occurring in constructing the crater image. So the Wavelet-based filtering algorithm is necessary to denoise the shape features in a micro scales so as to realize accurate crater wear topography analysis. The crater wear patterns filtered enable us to predict the crater wear shape in order to study the tool wear evolution. The study shows that the technique by combining the CLSM and Wavelet-based filtering is an excellent one to obtain the geometries of worn tool rake surfaces over a wide range of surface resolution in a micro scale.

In this article, we present a new DICOM object able to create image-based annotations in DICOM image. Since the proposed image-based annotation uses images themselves of annotation, various types like character, sketch, and scanning image, etc., can be imported into annotation easily. The proposed annotation is inserted into DICOM image directly but they do not influence original DICOM image quality by using independent data channel. The proposed annotation is expected to be very useful to medium and small clinics that cannot afford picture archiving and communication systems or electronic medical record.

For efficient storage and transmission of medical images, the requirement of image com pression is increasing. Because differences between reconstructed images and original images are related with errors In the diagnosis, lossless compression is generally preferred in mod- ical images. in Run Length Coding which is one of the lossless compression method, we have applied modified scanning direction based on the Hilbert curve, which is a kind of space fill ins curve. We have substituted the traditional raster scanning by Hilbert curve direction scanning. Using this method, we have studied enhancement of compression efficiency for medical images.

문서 영상 획득(document scanning)은 문서 영상 분석과 인식을 위한 중요한 단계이다 최근, 문서 영상 획득 장치로 스캐너(flat scanner)가 가장 많이 이용되고 있지만, 만지면 망가질 것 같은 얇은 고서, 매우 두꺼운 책과 같은 문서를 획득하기에는 어려움이 있다 이런 어려움을 해결하기 위해, 카메라를 이용한 문서 영상 획득에 관한 않은 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 카메라의 저해상도나 잡음과 칼은 문제를 해결하면, 스캐너를 대신하는 입력 장치로 이용할 수 있다. 저해상도 문제를 해결하는 방법으로 기본의 일반적인 레지스트레이션(registration) 방법은, 연결 부분(stitching position)에서 오브젝트(object: text, graphics, image)의 왜곡이 생기는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 PTZ(pan-tilt-zoom) 카메라를 이용하여 연결 부분에서 왜곡을 최소화하여 오브젝트를 획득하는 컴포넌트 기반의 영상 레지스트레이션(component-based image registration) 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 연결 부분에서 오브젝트의 수를 최소화하는데 목적이 있으며, 일반적인 레지스트레이션 방법에 비해 연결 부분에서 왜곡을 상당히 줄일 수 있으며, 상대적으로 인식률을 놓일 수 있다.

A method for image compression based on decomposition is presented. We design the efficient coding technique for upper band image signals. This coding technique with directive 1-D DPCM is based on the statistical properties of upper bands. Lower band image signals is encoded using 2-D DPCM. The directive 1-D DPCM is performed, scanning upper bands according to edge direction. And then the predicted error signals of upper band sis coded using B1 and Huffman code, and the predicted error signals of lower band is coded using Huffman code. The proposed system shows improved performance when compared with other existing methods with respect to peak signal to noise ratio(PSMR) and human visual system(HVS) properties.

In recent years, medical image diagnosis has growing significant momentous in the medicinal field. Brain and lung image of patient are distorted with salt and pepper noise is caused by moving the head and chest during scanning process of patients. Reconstruction of these images is a most significant field of diagnostic evaluation and is produced clearly through techniques such as linear or non-linear filtering. However, restored images are produced with smaller amount of noise reduction in the presence of huge magnitude of salt and pepper noises. To eliminate the high density of salt and pepper noises from the reproduction of images, a new efficient fuzzy based median filtering algorithm with a moderate elapsed time is proposed in this paper. Reproduction image results show enhanced performance for the proposed algorithm over other available noise reduction filtering techniques in terms of peak signal -to -noise ratio (PSNR), mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), image enhancement factor (IMF) and structural similarity (SSIM) value when tested on different medical images like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computer tomography (CT) scan brain image and CT scan lung image. The introduced algorithm is switching filter that recognize the noise pixels and then corrects them by using median filter with fuzzy two-sided π- membership function for extracting the local information.

This paper presents a phase-only modulation scheme for a three-dimensional (3-D) image matching system to improve optical efficiency of the system. The 3-D image matching system is based on the two mask heterodyne scanning. A hologram of the 3-D reference object is first created and then the phase of the hologram is extracted. The phase of the hologram is represented as one mask with the other mask being a plane wave. The superposition of each beam modulated by the two masks generated a scanning beam pattern. This beam pattern scans the 3-D target object to be recognized. The output of the scanning system gives out the correlation of the phase-only hologram of the reference object and the complex hologram of the target object. Since a hologram contains 3-D information of an object as a form of fringe pattern, the correlation of holograms matches whole 3-D aspect of the objects. Computer simulations are performed with additive gaussian noise and without noise for the complex hologram modulation scheme and the phase-only hologram modulation scheme. The computer simulation results show that the phase-only hologram modulation scheme improves the optical efficiency. Thus the system with the phase-only hologram modulation scheme is more robust than the system with the complex hologram modulation scheme.
