Objective: The purpose of this study was to observe stress distribution and displacement patterns of the entire maxillary arch with regard to distalizing force vectors applied from interdental miniscrews. Methods: A standard three-dimensional finite element model was constructed to simulate the maxillary teeth, periodontal ligament, and alveolar process. The displacement of each tooth was calculated on x, y, and z axes, and the von Mises stress distribution was visualized using color-coded scales. Results: A single distalizing force at the archwire level induced lingual inclination of the anterior segment, and slight intrusive distal tipping of the posterior segment. In contrast, force at the high level of the retraction hook resulted in lingual root movement of the anterior segment, and extrusive distal translation of the posterior segment. As the force application point was located posteriorly along the archwire, the likelihood of extrusive lingual inclination of the anterior segment increased, and the vertical component of the force led to intrusion and buccal tipping of the posterior segment. Rotation of the occlusal plane was dependent on the relationship between the line of force and the possible center of resistance of the entire arch. Conclusions: Displacement of the entire arch may be dictated by a direct relationship between the center of resistance of the whole arch and the line of action generated between the miniscrews and force application points at the archwire, which makes the total arch movement highly predictable.

본 논문에서는 윤곽선 세그먼트의 양 끝점을 잇는 직선과 곡선의 길이의 비율로 윤곽선 변동율을 정의하고, 이로부터 윤곽선의 형태를 기술하는 방법을 제안하였다. 윤곽선 변동율은 윤곽선 세그먼트로부터 계산되기 때문에 회전이나 크기 변형에 불변하는 윤곽선 세그먼트를 추출해야 한다. 이를 위하여 전체 윤곽선의 길이에 비례하는 상대적인 길이로 윤곽선을 분할하고 윤곽선 상의 모든 점을 분할점으로 하는 중첩된 윤곽선 세그먼트를 이용하였다. 윤곽선 변동율은 윤곽선 세그먼트의 단위 길이에 따라 국소적 또는 전역적인 특징을 나타내므로, 윤곽선 변동율의 분포를 나타내는 특징 벡터로 물체의 형태를 기술하고, 단위 길이별로 특징 벡터를 비교하여 윤곽선 형태의 유사도를 계산한다. 제안된 방법을 구현하여 15종의 물고기 영상에 대하여 회전 및 크기 변형을 가한 총 165개의 영상에 대하여 실험한 결과, 회전 및 크기 변형에 대한 불변성은 물론 정규화된 체인코드 히스토그램(NCCH)과 링 프로젝션(TRP)을 이용한 방법에 비하여 군집화 능력이 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Our purpose was to evaluate usefulness of the contrast-enhanced 3 dimensional fluid attenuated inversion recovery (3D-FLAIR) technique of half brain volume to diagnose the patients with facial neuritis based on segment-based analysis. We assessed retrospectively 17 consecutive patients who underwent brain MR imaging at 3 tesla for facial neuritis: 11 patients with idiopathic facial neuritis and 6 with herpes zoster oticus. Contrast enhanced 3D-FLAIR sequences of the half brain volume were analyzed and 3D T1-weighted sequence of the full brain volume were used as the base-line exam. Enhancement of the facial nerve was determined in each segment of 5 facial nerve segments by two radiologists. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of enhancement of each segment were assessed. The authors experienced a prompt fuzzy CSF enhancement in the fundus of the internal auditory canal in patients with enhancement of the canalicular segment. Interobserver agreement of CE 3D-FLAIR was excellent(${\kappa}$-value 0.885). Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of each segment are 1.0, 0.823, 0.912 in the canalicular segment; 0.118, 1.0, 0.559 in the labyrinthine segment; 0.823, 0.294, 0.559 in the anterior genu; 0.823, 0.529, 0.676 in the tympanic segment; 0.823, 0.235, 0.529 in the mastoid segment, respectively. In addition, those of prompt fuzzy enhancement were 0.647, 1.0, and 0.824, respectively. Incidence of prompt fuzzy enhancement with enhancement of the canalicular segment was 11 sites(55%): 6 (54.5%) in idiopathic facial neuritis and 5 (83.3%) in herpes zoster. Enhancement of the canalicular segment and prompt fuzzy enhancement on CE 3D-FLAIR was significantly correlated with occurrence of facial neuritis (p<0.001). CE 3D-FLAIR technique of the half brain volume is useful to evaluate the patients with facial neuritis as an adjunct sequence in addition to contrast-enhanced 3D T1-weighted sequence. On segment-based analysis, contrast enhancement of the canalicular segment is the most reliable. Prompt fuzzy enhancement is seen in not only herpes zoster, but in idiopathic facial neuritis.

This paper presents a 3D object recognition method for generation of 3D environmental map or obstacle recognition of mobile robots. An active light source projects a stripe pattern of light onto the object surface, while the camera observes the projected pattern from its offset point. The system consists of a laser unit and a camera on a pan/tilt device. The line segment in 2D camera image implies an object surface plane. The scaling, filtering, edge extraction, object extraction and line thinning are used for the enhancement of the light stripe image. We can get faithful depth informations of the object surface from the line segment interpretation. The performance of the proposed method has demonstrated in detail through the experiments for varies type objects. Experimental results show that the method has a good position accuracy, effectively eliminates optical noises in the image, greatly reduces memory requirement, and also greatly cut down the image processing time for the 3D object recognition compared to the conventional object recognition.

The safe navigation of a mobile robot requires the recognition of the environment in terms of vision processing. To be guided in the given path, the robot should acquire the information about where the wall and corridor are located. Also unexpected obstacles should be detected as rapid as possible for the safe obstacle avoidance. In the paper, we assume that the mobile robot should be navigated in the flat surface. In terms of this assumption we simplify the correspondence problem by the free navigation surface and matching features in that coordinate system. Basically, the vision processing system adopts line segment of edge as the feature. The extracted line segments of edge out of both image are matched in the free nevigation surface. According to the matching result, each line segment is labeled by the attributes regarding obstacle and free surface and the 3D shape of obstacle is interpreted. This proposed vision processing method is verified in terms of various simulations and experimentation using real images.

지리 정보 시스템(Geographic Information System, GIS)에서 가장 주요한 부분을 차지하는 것 중의 하나가 공간 데이터 모델(spatial data model)에서 정의된 각 공간 데이터들간의 공간 관계 연산자(spatial relational operator)의 효과적인 구현이다. 공간 데이터는 점(point), 선(line), 면(area)으로 표현될 수 있다. 이들 사이의 모든 공간 관계는 Disjoint, Touch, Cross, In, Overlap의 다섯 가지 연산자로 표현 가능함이 알려져 가능함이 알려져 있으며, 이들에 대한 실체적인 위상 관계를 표현하는 다양한 수학적 모델링 방법이 존재한다. 하지만, 실제 이들 공간 연산자들을 수학적 모델에 따라 그대로 구현하려고 하면, 컴퓨터 상에서는 표현할 수 없다거나 많은 자원을 차지하는 데이터 구조를 필요로 한다거나, 또는 비효율적인 알고리즘으로 구현할 수 밖에 없는 현실적인 어려움에 봉착한다. 그 중에서도 구현하기 어려운 연산은 면과 선과의 관계, 면과 면과의 공간 관계를 찾아내는 공간 연산자이다. 본 논문에서는 선분의 양끝점을 이용하여 면과 선분(line segment)과의 관계를 찾아내는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 알고리즘을 사용하여 면과 선, 면과 면과의 관계를 찾아내는 공간 연산자를 효율적으로 구현할 수 있다.

This paper describes an approach to analyze geometrical information of building images for understanding outdoor environment of autonomous navigation robot. Line segments and color information are used to classily a building with the other objects such as sky, trees, and roads. The line segments and their two neighboring regions are extracted from detected edges in image. The model of line segment (MLS) consists of color information of neighbor regions. This model rules out the line segments of non-building face. A building face converges into dominant vanishing points (DVPs) which include one vertical point and one of five horizontal points in maximum. The intersection of vertical and horizontal lines creates a facet of building. The geometrical characteristics such as the center coordinates, area, aspect ratio and aligned coexistence are used for extracting the windows in the building facet. In experiments, 150 building faces and 1607 windows were detected from the database of outdoor environment. We found that this result shows 94.46% detection rate. These experimental images were all taken in Ulsan metropolitan city in Korea under difference of viewpoints, daytime, camera system and weather condition.

In this paper, we proposed the recognition system of car license plates to mitigate traffic problems. The processing sequence of the proposed algorithm is as follows. At first, a license plate segment is extracted from an acquired car image using morphological features and color information, and noises are eliminated from the extracted license plate segment using line scan algorithm and Grassfire algorithm, and then individual codes are extracted from the license plate segment using edge tracking algorithm. Finally the extracted individual codes are recognized by an FCM algorithm. In order to evaluate performance of segment extraction and code recognition of the proposed method, we used 100 car images for experiment. In the results, we could verify the proposed method is more effective and recognition performance is improved in comparison with conventional car license plate recognition methods.

In this work a new method for on-line scene segmentation is developed. In remote sensing a scene is represented by the pixel-oriented features. It is possible to reduce data redundancy by an unsupervised segment-feature extraction process, where the segment-features, rather than the pixelfeatures, are used for multispectral scene representation. The algorithm partitions the observation space into exhaustive set of disjoint segments. Then, pixels belonging to each segment are characterized by segment features. Illustrative examples are presented, and the performance of features is investigated. Results show an average compression more than 25, the classification performance is improved for all classes, and the CPU time required for classification is reduced by the same factor.

본 논문에서는 수정된 segment maxima을 기반으로 한 색역 추정 방법을 제안한다. Segment maxima은 CIELab 공간을 일정한 간격으로 분할하고, 각 분할된 영역의 최외각 측정 데이터를 계산하여 색역을 추정하는 기법이다. 그러나 이 방법은 색공간의 분할 개수에 따라서 지역적인 색역 왜곡이 나타나 색역 사상시에 컬러 결점(color artifact)을 발생시킨다. 색공간 분할 개수가 적으면 높은 채도 부근에서 추정된 색역 정보가 분실되어 컬러 컨투어(color contour) 현상이 발생한다. 이와 반대로 색공간 분할 개수가 많으면 CIELab 밝기 축 부근에서 색역이 오목하게 되는 왜곡이 발생한다. 이러한 지역적인 색역 왜곡은 색역 사상시 결과 영상에 컬러 결점이 유발한다. 제안한 논문에서는 실험을 통하여 측정한 데이터 수에 따른 적절한 색공간 분할개수를 설정하여 높은 채도 부근에 색역 축소를 줄이며, 오목하게 나타나는 지역적인 색역 왜곡을 다양한 색역 분할에 따른 색역 경계 서술자(gamut boundary descriptor) 비교를 통해 이를 수정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 실험을 통해 제안한 방법이 기존의 segment maxima보다 정확한 장치의 색역을 추정할 수가 있었고, 결과 영상에서도 컬러 컨투어나 반점과 같은 컬러 결점이 줄어듬을 확인 할 수 있었다.
