Medical images are being managed more by PACS in general medical institutions. It is important to protect patients from being invaded their privacy related to the images. It is also necessary to confirm the ownership, the right of property of the medical images and notice whether the data are modified. In this paper, we propose a robust watermarking against RST attacks in medical images on the PACS. The proposed scheme modifies and improves Log-Polar Mapping and Fourier Mellin Transform in order to realize and recover serious image degradation and watermark data loss caused by the conversion between cartesian coordinate and log-polar coordinate. We used the radius and theta Look Up Table to solve the realization of the Fourier Mellin Transform, and inserted a watermark into 2D-DFT magnitudes using Spread Spectrum. Experimental results shows that this method are robust to rotation attack.

To connect the gap on the contours at the summit area, we propose the linear interpolation in the polar coordinates. Tn the experiments of applying both existing algorithms and a proposed method to some graphic images, the proposed method generated curves that average MAE was 1.940 pixels. In particular, our method with MAE of 1.240 on real map image was superior than the others. Also by generating new curves with neighbors-resembled appearance, the contours were reconstructed seamlessly.

Background: Temperature is an essential condition in red ginseng processing. The pharmacological activities of red ginseng under different steam temperatures are significantly different. Methods: In this study, an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry was developed to distinguish the red ginseng products that were steamed at high and low temperatures. Multivariate statistical analyses such as principal component analysis and supervised orthogonal partial least squared discrimination analysis were used to determine the influential components of the different samples. Results: The results showed that different steamed red ginseng samples can be identified, and the characteristic components were 20-gluco-ginsenoside Rf, ginsenoside Re, ginsenoside Rg1, and malonyl-ginsenoside Rb1 in red ginseng steamed at low temperature. Meanwhile, the characteristic components in red ginseng steamed at high temperature were 20R-ginsenoside Rs3 and ginsenoside Rs4. Polar ginsenosides were abundant in red ginseng steamed at low temperature, whereas higher levels of less polar ginsenosides were detected in red ginseng steamed at high temperature. Conclusion: This study makes the first time that differences between red ginseng steamed under different temperatures and their ginsenosides transformation have been observed systematically at the chemistry level. The results suggested that the identified chemical markers can be used to illustrate the transformation of ginsenosides in red ginseng processing.

Perceived age is defined as age estimated based on physical appearance. Perceived age is an important indicator of the overall health status of the elderly. This is because people who appear older tend to have higher rates of morbidity and mortality than people of the same chronological age. Although perceived age is an important indicator, there is a lack of objective methods to quantify perceived age. In this paper, we construct a quantified perceived age model from face images using a convolutional neural network. The face images are enlarged to super-resolution and the skin, an important feature in perceived age, is made clear. Moreover, through Tanh-polar transformation, the central area of the face occupies a relatively larger area than the boundary area, helping the neural network better recognize facial skin features. The experimental results show mean absolute error (MAE) of 6.59, showing that the proposed model is superior to existing method.

This paper deals with 3-dimensional missile guidance law. This presents the general optimal solution of the state equation which includes the target maneuvering as the Gauss-Markov processing. The main results ore about the transformation between the Cartesian coordinates on which both the guidance law and the filter are bused and the polar coordinates system in real missile guidance and measurement information. And the extended Kalman filter and adjustment of the estimated target acceleration by triangular functions is proposed solution to this transformation problem. It is shown that this proposed transformation is valid in real 3-dimensional guidance problem by the computer simulation.

A set of unprecedented syndiospecific dimethyl- and diethylamino-functionalized polystyrenes was prepared by catalytically polymerizing the corresponding monomers using (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)titanatrane/MMAO catalytic system. Dialkylamino-functionalized styrene monomers were synthesized by Wittig reaction from the corresponding aldehyde in high yield. The resulting polymers are soluble in polar organic solvents such as THF and show good thermal stability. The chemical transformation of the syndiospecific poly(4-diethylaminostyrene) also gave new polar polymers, namely syndiotactic poly(4-diethylaminostyrene hydrochloride), which is unattainable by traditional synthetic methods.

In recent, Kalman filter technique has been much used as one of technique for tracking of the moving target. But some problem are still remained to be resolved. For example, when Kalman filter technique is applied to nonlinear system, the technique is nonoptimal estimator. Therefore, extended Kalman filter is proposed to reduce modeling error for nonlinear system. In this study, an extended Kalman filter in Cartesian coordinates is described for moving target, when the radar sensor measures range, azimuth and elevation angle in polar coordinates. And an approximate gain computation algorithm is proposed. In this approach, Kalman gains are computed for three uncoupled filter and multiplied by a Jacobian transformation determined from the measured target position and orientation.

A Coordinate-Transformation Extended Robust Kalman Filter (CERKF) designed in the Krein space is proposed, and then applied to a nonlinear incoming ballistic missile tracking system with parameter uncertainties. First, the Extended Robust Kalman filter (ERKF) is proposed to handle the nonlinearity of measurement equation which occurs whenever the polar coordinate system is transformed into the Cartesian coordinate system. Moreover, linearization error inevitably occurs and deteriorates the tracking performance, which is considerably reduced by the proposed CERKF. Through the simulation results, we show that the proposed CERKF, which uses the measurement coordinate system, has less RMS error than the previous ERKF which is designed in the Krein space using the Cartesian system. We also verify that the robustness and the stability of the proposed filter are guaranteed in two radars: the phased way radar and the scanning radar

Among the desirable properties of a piecewise linear parameterization, guaranteeing a one-to-one mapping (i.e., no triangle flips in the parameter plane) is often sought. A one-to-one mapping is accomplished by non-negative coefficients in the affine transformation. In the Floater's method, the coefficients were computed after the 3D mesh was flattened by geodesic polar-mapping. But using this geodesic polar map introduces unnecessary local distortion. In this paper, a simple variant of the original shape-preserving mapping technique by Floater is introduced. A new simple method for calculating barycentric coordinates by using straightest geodesics is proposed. With this method, the non-negative coefficients are computed directly on the mesh, reducing the shape distortion introduced by the previously-used polar mapping. The parameterization is then found by solving a sparse linear system, and it provides a simple and visually-smooth piecewise linear mapping, without foldovers.
