Methods of detecting, describing, matching image features, like corners and blobs, have been actively studied as a fundamental step for image processing and computer vision applications. As one of feature description/matching methods, LLAH(Locally Likely Arrangement Hashing) describes image features based on the geometric relationship between their neighbors, and thus is suitable for scenes with poor texture. This paper presents a modified LLAH algorithm, which includes the image features themselves for robustly describing the geometric relationship unlike the original LLAH, and employes a voting-based feature matching scheme that makes feature description much simpler. Then, this paper quantitatively analyzes its performance with synthetic images in the presence of Gaussian noise.

본 논문에서는 훼손된 영상 신호를 복원하는 기존의 나가오 필터의 수식 과정 중 일부를 제거하여 처리시간을 단축하고 그 효과는 유지하는 방법에 대해서 연구하였다. 기존의 나가오 필터를 이용한 신호처리 복원 방법으로는 계산량이 많아 한 화소를 처리하기 위해서는 많은 시간이 소요된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 나가오 필터의 수식 과정 중 표준편차를 구화는 과정을 제거함으로써 처리시간이 단축되면서 그 효과는 유지됨을 확인한다. 모의 실험을 통하여 이 방법의 우수성을 확인한다.

In this paper, we present an efficient numerical method for multiphase image segmentation using a multiphase-field model. The method combines the vector-valued Allen-Cahn phase-field equation with initial data fitting terms containing prescribed interface width and fidelity constants. An efficient numerical solution is achieved using the recently developed hybrid operator splitting method for the vector-valued Allen-Cahn phase-field equation. We split the modified vector-valued Allen-Cahn equation into a nonlinear equation and a linear diffusion equation with a source term. The linear diffusion equation is discretized using an implicit scheme and the resulting implicit discrete system of equations is solved by a multigrid method. The nonlinear equation is solved semi-analytically using a closed-form solution. And by treating the source term of the linear diffusion equation explicitly, we solve the modified vector-valued Allen-Cahn equation in a decoupled way. By decoupling the governing equation, we can speed up the segmentation process with multiple phases. We perform some characteristic numerical experiments for multiphase image segmentation.

본 논문에서는 적외선 위성영상과 광학 위성영상을 위한 정합방법을 제안하였다. 적외선 영상은 물체에서 방사하는 열에너지를 측정한 것으로, 광학 영상과는 다른 정보를 보여주는 장점으로 많은 분야에 응용된다. 하지만 적외선 영상은 대비가 광학 영상에 비해 낮아, 영상 정합을 위한 특징점 추출 및 매칭을 하기가 어렵다. 이를 극복하기 위해, Modifed SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform)를 사용하여 특징점을 추출 및 매칭하였다. 또한 특징점의 상대적 변별력을 증가시키기 위해, 영상을 블록화해서 Modified SIFT와 RANSAC (RANdom SAample Concensus)을 적용하였다. 마지막으로 오매칭이 있는 블록의 특징점을 제거하기 위해, 각 블록에서 추출된 특징점을 원 영상의 좌표계로 통합해 RANSAC을 다시 한 번 적용하였다. 실험에 사용된 적외선 영상의 파장대역은 3~5um이며, 실험결과 제안된 방법은 적외선과 광학 영상정합에 강인한 성능을 보였다.

본 논문은 방향성을 고려한 영상 분해에 의해 개선된 시그마 필터의 영상 잡음 제거에 관한 연구이다. 기존의 시그마 필터는 계산의 복잡도 측면과 필터링의 정확도 면에서 좋은 결과를 보여 왔다. 그러나 시그마 필터는 높은 수준의 노이즈에서 작은 에지성분을 살리지 못하는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 개선된 시그마 필터를 변형하여 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 먼저 입력 영상을 수평, 수직 방향의 특성과 대각선 방향의 특성을 지닌 두 가지의 구성요소로 분해한 다음 분해된 2개의 구성요소에 대하여 HPF와 LPF를 적용한다. 적용 후 각각 독립적으로 기존의 시그마 필터로 필터링하여 출력 영상을 재구성함으로서 영상에 존재하는 잡음을 제거하고 영상의 에지성분에 대한 보존 특성을 강화시킨다. 실험에서의 비교 결과, 제안된 알고리즘의 PSNR이 시그마 필터에 비해 평균적으로 2.6dB, 개선된 시그마 필터에 비해 0.5dB 더 우수함을 확인하였고 비교적 큰 노이즈가 첨가되었을 때 기존의 두 필터보다 제안된 알고리즘이 훨씬 더 좋은 성능을 보였다.

The Cobey method and the modified Cobey method are most commonly used in clinical practice. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the radiological differences between Cobey and modified Cobey and provide radiographic information about changes of hindfoot image with X-ray entrance center and tube angle change in modified Cobey. This study was performed on foot and ankle phantom. First, for image comparison of Cobey and modified Cobey, the images obtained by applying the same X-ray entrance center to the ankle joint were compared and analyzed. Second, in the modified Cobey, the X-ray entrance center is set as ankle joint and lateral malleolus. The X-ray tube angle was varied from $10^{\circ}$ to $40^{\circ}$ at $5^{\circ}$ intervals for each X-ray entrance center. The images obtained by varying the X-ray tube angle from $10^{\circ}$ to $40^{\circ}$ at intervals of $5^{\circ}$ for each X-ray entrance center were compared and analyzed. The irradiation conditions were the same with 110 kVp, 200 mA, 10 ms, and 110 cm of source - image receptor distance (SID). Image evaluation was performed by two radiologists. Measurements were made on the lateral point, middle point, and calcaneus width based on a hypothetical line parallel to the calcaneal tuberosity. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics as the mean of the distance to each measurement location. The modified Cobey was longer than the Cobey by an average of 3 to 4 mm lateral and medial points, and the calcaneus width was similar (ICC = 0.939). In modified Cobey method, when the X-ray entrance center is ankle joint, the lateral point is about 3 mm and the medial point is about 4.3 mm longer than lateral malleolus. Also, when the X-ray tube angle is more than $20^{\circ}$, the degree of distortion is large. The ICCs for the lateral, medial point, and calcaneus width were 0.998, 0.961, and 0.997, respectively, as the X-ray entrance center and tube angle were changed. There was no significant difference between Modified Cobey and Cobey. Modified Cobey showed no need to compensate the $20^{\circ}$ detector angle of the Cobey. In addition, we suggest that tube angle should be limited within $20^{\circ}$ when modified Cobey is performed.

Many approaches to image restoration are aimed at removing either gauss or impulse noise. This is because both types of degradation processes are distinct in nature, and hence they are easier to manage when considered separately. Nevertheless, it is possible to find them operating on the same image, which produces a hard damage. This happens when an image, already contaminated by Gaussian noise in the image acquisition procedure, undergoes impulsive corruption during its digital transmission. Here we proposed an algorithm first judge the type of the noise according to the difference values of pixel's neighborhood region and impulse noise's characteristic. Then removes the gauss noise by modified weighted mean filter and removes the impulse noise by modified nonlinear filter. The result of computer simulation on test images indicates that the proposed method is superior to traditional filtering algorithms. The proposed method can not only remove mixed noise effectively, but also preserve image details.

The purpose of this study was to identfy the relationship between the body image adjustment of daily life. 58 subjects who had undergone radical mastectomy or modified radical mastectomy from 1979 to April 1984 at Seoul National University Hospital were selected as a sample and used for a final analysis. Finding of this study were as follows; 1) The relationship between the body image and the adjustment of daily life were significant differences. The body image is more positive, the adjustment of daily life is bet-ter. However, the cause-effect relationship was not found in this study. (p<0.05) 2) There were no significant differences in the body image between the right side mastectomy and left side mastectomy, between the radical mastectomy and modified radical mastectomy between those who had occupation and those who did not have occupation, and between the level of education. 3) There was no significant correlation between the body image and age, between the body image and elapsed time after surgery.
