  • In this paper, optical image encryption using integral imaging and pixel-scrambling technologies is proposed. In the encryption process, we use pixel scrambling to change the order of subsections into which the cover image is divided, and the utilize the integral imaging scheme to obtain the elemental image from the scrambled image. In order to achieve higher security, we reuse pixel scrambling to the elemental image. In the decryption process, we employ optical integral imaging reconstruction technique and inverse pixel scrambling methode. Computer simulation results prove the feasibility of the proposed method and robustness against data loss and noise.

  • With the development of medical technologies and the growth of household incomes, most of the people have become to be interested in health as it leads to significant early detection and cure of diseases. However the pattern of disease becomes diverse and it makes the imaging diagnosis department crowded with many patients. Therefore the opportunistic infection could be serious there. The hospital becomes the place which provides high risks of infection danger but it is true that the opportunistic infection of the hospital employees is not still recognized well. The imaging diagnosis department has developed a lot but it becomes the medium of secondary infection of patients and employees. So this study analyzesthe status of bacteria infection of the examination table, the handle of diagnostic equipment and the hands of radiation staffs in imaging diagnosis department of the general hospitals and individual ones. And the result shows that some bacteria were found even though it's little. We are trying to make the hospitals to be free of secondary infection securing safety measure to prevent the secondaryinfection from occurring to patients and hospital employees.

  • The arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method that can evaluate tissue perfusion using blood in the body. The characteristic of non-invasive examinations without contrast agents and the quantitative measurement of perfusion volume is possible, which are increasingly being used for clinical and research purposes. Up to the present, The ASL method has lower SNR than the perfusion imaging method using contrast agent and because optimization of various parameter in the imaging process is difficult, Which may result in measurement errors. To improve this, ASL methods using various technologies are introduced. This paper briefly introduces the outline of ASL, its features in imaging process, various techniques, and clinical application.

  • This research aim concerns questioning how we can generate environments suggestive of nature fused with built environments through textiles. Through literature reviews and experiments with available the 3D imaging techniques of Holography, Lenticular and other new technologies. We also have researched towards finding the most effective method for 3D imaging techniques for textile applications. The advantage of the combining technique is to create the possibility of seeing a number of different floating 3D illusory images, depending on the viewing angle. This objective is to produce intriguing textile patterns and images in which the objects and colours change as viewpoints change. Experimental work was carried out in collaboration with professional textile researchers, scientists, artists and designers conducting research in this field.

  • Recent advanced technologies enable multiple users to share the virtual environment and work together as they are collocated. Additional sensory information such as haptic could improve the cooperation. In this paper, we propose a server-client architecture with multi-rate haptic control to support a tangible cooperation. Using our approach, the system is able to maintain a consistent simulation state across multiple users as well as to provide a highfidelity stable haptic interaction. To verify our approach, we have developed an experimental application and tested the cooperation among multiple users. The results confirm that our system is able to provide coherency among clients as well as haptic transparency.

  • The change in 21st century imaging media technology is changing our modern visual system. Virtual reality HMD devices, one of the core technologies of 5G, reproduce the new visual system. However, there is a lack of analysis and understanding of the visual operating system to understand the visual system of the fast-changing variety of imaging media. This study analyzed the three visual systems appearing in the recent imaging media art area and presented an engineering perspective algorithm for its procedures and methods. Through these results, we want to build algorithms that understand the visual system of virtual reality HMD devices.

  • Due to the development of medical imaging technology, different imaging technologies provide a large amount of effective information. However, different imaging method caused the limitations of information integrity by using single type of image. Combining different image together so that doctor can obtain the information from medical image comprehensively. Image registration algorithm based on mutual information has become one of the hotspots in the field of image registration with its high registration accuracy and wide applicability. Because the information theory-based registration technology is not dependent on the gray value difference of the image, and it is very suitable for multimodal medical image registration. However, the method based on mutual information has a robustness problem. The essential reason is that the mutual information itself is not have enough information between the pixel pairs, so that the mutual information is unstable during the registration process. A large number of local extreme values are generated, which finally cause mismatch. In order to overcome the shortages of mutual information registration method, this paper proposes a registration method combined with image spatial structure information and mutual information.
