As digital image processing technologies are developing, edges are being utilized in various areas. In the existing edge detection methods, there are mask methods which utilize Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, Laplacian operator etc. To realize these existing edge detection methods is simple. But, in case that AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise) added images are processed, edge detection characteristics are slightly insufficient. Therefore, the edge detection algorithm using the standard deviation of local mask was suggested in this paper to compensate for the drawbacks in the existing detection methods and the suggested algorithm in AWGN environments showed excellent edge detection characteristics.

Mircolens and microlens V-groove are realized using a novel fabrication technology based on the exposure of a resist, usually PMMA, to deep X-rays and subsequent thermal treatment and inclined deep X-ray lithography, respectively. The fabrication technology is very simple and produces microlenses and microlens V-groove with good surface roughness of several nm. The molecular weight and glass transition temperature of PMMA is reduced when it is irradiated with deep X-rays. The microlenses were produced through the effects of volume change, surface tension, and reflow during thermal treatment of irradiated PMMA. Microlenses were produced with diameters ranging from 30 to $1500\mu\textrm{m}$. The surface X-ray mask is also fabricated to realize microlens arrays on PMMA sheet with a large area. The size of the micro V-groove is fabricated in the range of 12~$60\mu\textrm{m}$.

In this paper, a new real-time optical image switching system based on the phase-typed BPEJTC is suggested. The phase filter mask which has the arbitrary position mapping function between input and output planes is constructed by using the modified JTPS of the BPEJTC. Then, the input image is convolved with this phase filter mask in the spatial frequency domain and through further Fourier transform the input image is switched to the new positions in the output correlation plane where the correlation peaks are occurred. And, based on the computer simulation results, the practical optical switched to the new positions in the output correlation plane where the correlation peaks are occurred. And, based on the computer simulation results, the practical optical switching system is opto-digitally constructed and through some experiments on image switching the possiblity of real-time implementation of the multiple optical image switching system by using the BPEJTC is suggeste.

Images are often corrupted by noises during signal acquisition and transmission. Among those noises, additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and impulse noise are most representative. For different types of noise have different characters, how to remove them separately from degraded image is one of the most fundamental problems. Thus, a modified image restoration algorithm is proposed in this paper, which can not only remove impulse noise of random values, but also remove the AWGN selectively. The noise detection step is by calculating the intensity difference and the spatial distance between pixels in a mask. To divide two different noises, the method is based on three weighted parameters. And the weighted parameters in the filtering mask depend on spatial distances, positions of impulse noise and standard deviation of AWGN. We also use the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) to evaluate restoration performance, and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method performs better than conventional median-type filters, in preserving edge details.

Three-dimensional simulator for the ion implantation process is developed. The simulator based on an analytical model which would be a choice with high computational efficiency and accuracy. This is an important issue for the simulation of a numerous number of processing steps required in the fabrication of ULSI or GSI. The model can explain scattering and bulk channeling mechanism (1D). It can also explain depth dependent lateral diffusion effect(2D) and mask effect(3D). The model is consist of one-dimensional JPD(Joined Pearson Distribution) function and two-dimensional modified Gaussian functions. Final implanted profiles under typical mask structures such as hole, line and island structure are obtained with varying ion species.

In this paper, an effective skeleton method is proposed in order to obtain an enhanced digital image of skeleton line. The edge-detection method is applied in the preprocessing stage and after that, the modified Parallel method is applied to obtain the improved image of skeleton line. The existing parallel methods are Zhang, Lu and Wang, and Paul methods. Firstly, a parallel process method Is applied, and the proposed method is applied that the original is compared with the four neighbor pixels and four corner pixels of mask. In conclusion, the proposed method shows an improved connectivity and quality of skeleton line.

The discrete Gaussian-Hermite moment (DGHM) is a global feature representation method that can be applied to square images. We propose a modified DGHM (MDGHM) method and an MDGHM-based scale-invariant feature transform (MDGHM-SIFT) descriptor. In the MDGHM, we devise a movable mask to represent the local features of a non-square image. The complete set of non-square image features are then represented by the summation of all MDGHMs. We also propose to apply an accumulated MDGHM using multi-order derivatives to obtain distinguishable feature information in the third stage of the SIFT. Finally, we calculate an MDGHM-based magnitude and an MDGHM-based orientation using the accumulated MDGHM. We carry out experiments using the proposed method with six kinds of deformations. The results show that the proposed method can be applied to non-square images without any image truncation and that it significantly outperforms the matching accuracy of other SIFT algorithms.

Maxillary protraction is the conventional treatment for growing Class III patients with maxillary deficiency, but it has undesirable dental effects. The purpose of this report is to introduce an alternative modality of maxillary protraction in patients with dentoskeletal Class III malocclusion using a modified C-palatal plate connected with elastics to a face mask. This method improved skeletal measurements, corrected overjet, and slightly improved the profile. The patients may require definitive treatment in adolescence or adulthood. The modified C-palatal plate enables nonsurgical maxillary advancement with maximal skeletal effects and minimal dental side effects.

This paper proposes a MOS circuit extractor which extracts a netlist from the hierarchical mask information, for the verification tools. To utilize the regularity and the simple representation of the hierarchical circuit, and to reduce the debug cycle of design, verification, and modification, we propose a hierarvhical and incremental circuit extraction algorithm. In flat circuit extraction stage, the multiple storage quad tree is used as an internal data structure. Incremental circuit extraction using the hierarchical structure is made possible, to reduce the re-extraction time of the modified circuit.

Soft masks mean that part or all of the program code for operating system or applications are located in the EEPROM or flash ROM. Since Soft masks allow errors to be corrected and programs to be modified quickly and at minimal cost, they are used primarily during testing and in the field trials. This paper introduces a hardware architecture of IC card for soft masks. We suggest a new down loading scheme for soft-mask ROM connected by an I/O interface. This scheme saves the new IC card development cost and time.
