In the three-dimensional domain image expressed with two-dimensional slice images, such as fMRI images and multi-slice CT images, we propose the three-dimensional domain automatic segmentation for the purpose of extracting region. In this paper, we segmented each domain from the fMRI images of the head of people and monkey. We used the neural network "Pulse-Coupled Neural Network" which is one of the models of visual cortex of the brain based on the knowledge from neurophysiology as the technique. By using this technique, we can segment the region without any learning. Then, we reported the result of division of each domain and extraction to the fMRI slice images of human's head using "three-dimensional Pulse-Coupled Neural Network" which is arranged and created the neuron in the shape of a three-dimensional lattice.

In this paper, face recognition algorithm, by using skin color information of HSI color coordinate collected from face images, elliptical mask, fratures of face including eyes, nose and mouth, and geometrical feature vectors of face and facial angles, is proposed. The proposed algorithm improved face region extraction efficacy by using HSI information relatively similar to human's visual system along with color tone information about skin colors of face, elliptical mask and intensity information. Moreover, it improved face recognition efficacy with using feature information of eyes, nose and mouth, and Θ1(ACRED), Θ2(AMRED) and Θ 3(ANRED), which are geometrical face angles of face. In the proposed algorithm, it enables exact face reading by using color tone information, elliptical mask, brightness information and structural characteristic angle together, not like using only brightness information in existing algorithm. Moreover, it uses structural related value of characteristics and certain vectors together for the recognition method.

Successful osseo-integration of dental implants that Dr. Bronemak reported in 1965 had been ground-breaking research in the restorative dentistry for the missing dentition. Clinical application of dental implants in the restorative dentistry has begun with the role of retention and support for the complete denture, beyond the functional recovery in partially missing area, and succeeds in the cosmetic recovery for anterior missing area. Recently, immediate implantation and loading after the extraction have been preferred by many excellent clinicians especially on maxillary anterior missing area, because they want to prevent from the absorption of residual alveolar bone. But it is hard to decide immediate loading for common clinicians also, because it is difficult for them to convict proper osseo-integration. In this article, immediate implantation and delayed loading case on maxillay anterior region have been introduced and predictable prosthetic procedure for the esthetic result has suggested.

A case of Fasciola gigantica-induced biliary obstruction and cholestasis is reported in Turkey. The patient was a 37-year-old woman, and suffered from icterus, ascites, and pain in her right upper abdominal region. A total of 7 living adult flukes were recovered during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). A single dose of triclabendazole was administered to treat possible remaining worms. She was living in a village of southeast of Anatolia region and had sheeps and cows. She had the history of eating lettuce, mallow, dill, and parsley without washing. This is the first case of fascioliasis which was treated via endoscopic biliary extraction during ERCP in Turkey.

얼굴은 주변의 조명이나 카메라의 위치, 사람의 자세에 따라 가변적이기 때문에 인식에 많은 어려움이 따른다. 이러한 어려움을 극복하기 위한 방법에는 신경망을 이용하여 얼굴의 영역 정보를 가지고 데이터베이스를 구축하여 얼굴영역을 탐색하는 방법과 얼굴의 대칭성을 이용한 대칭 영역 탐색이 있다. 신경망을 이용하는 방법은 사전 정보를 가져야만 하며, 대칭성을 이용한 방법은 계산 시간이 오래 걸린다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 대칭성의 계산 속도 개선 및 데이터베이스 구축없이 얼굴 영역을 추출할 수 있도록 축소 영상에서 대칭 영역 탐색을 이용해 대칭성을 파악한 후 이러한 대칭성을 이용하여 원영상에 적용 한 후 정확한 얼굴 영역을 추출하기 위해 축소영상에서의 추출된 영역에서 대칭 영역 탐색을 하여 얼굴영역을 찾아내는 방법이다. 정면, 안경이 있는 영상에 실험해본 결과 얼굴 인식에 적합한 얼굴영역을 추출 할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 입력되는 스테레오 영상으로부터 3차원의 깊이 특징과 색상 특징을 결합하여 피부색상 영역을 보다 정확하게 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법은 우선 스테레오 정합 기법을 이용하여 좌우 영상으로부터 3차원의 깊이 특징을 추출한다. 그런 다음, 유사한 깊이 특징을 가지는 영역을 그룹화하고, 그룹화된 영역 중에서 피부색상을 나타내는 영역을 실제 피부영역이라고 판단한다. 실험에서는 2차원 위주의 기존의 피부영역 추출 방법과 제안된 방법의 성능을 정확도 측면에서 평가하였다. 결과적으로 제안된 방법은 3차원의 깊이 정보와 색상 정보를 효과적으로 결합함으로써 배경 영역에서 부정확하게 검출되는 피부영역 추출 오류를 상당수 제거하는 효과를 가진다.

Hyperspectral cameras acquire reflectance values at many different wavelength bands. Dimensions tend to increase because spectral information is stored in each pixel. Several attempts have been made to reduce dimensional problems such as the feature selection using Adaboost and dimension reduction using the Simulated Annealing technique. We propose a novel material detection method that consists of four steps: feature band selection, feature extraction, SVM (Support Vector Machine) learning, and target and specific region detection. It is a combination of the band ratio method and Simulated Annealing algorithm based on detection rate. The experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed feature selection and band ratio method.

본 논문에서는 안드로이드 환경에서 글자 인식을 위한 전처리 과정으로 입력 영상에서 글자 영역만을 추출하는 기법을 제안한다. 대부분의 글자 인식 어플리케이션에서 글자를 인식하는 방법은 RoI(Region of Interest)에 인식하려는 글자를 위치시켜 놓고 사용자가 촬영함으로써 진행된다. 하지만 촬영된 영상 그대로를 인식에 사용하기 때문에 잡음 및 글자가 아닌 영역들을 글자로 인식하는 문제 등으로 인하여 인식률이 현저히 떨어진다. 제안하는 기법에서는 MSER(Maximally Stable Extremal Regions) 기법을 통해 각각의 글자를 추출한 후, 글자의 특성을 이용하여 글자 영역만을 추출한다. 기법의 성능 평가는 무료 OCR(Optical Character Recognition) 엔진인 Tesseract-OCR을 통해 글자 인식률을 비교하였으며, 제안하는 기법을 적용한 글자 인식 시스템이 적용하지 않은 시스템보다 글자의 인식률이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we proposed the object-tracking algorithm that recognizes and estimates the any shaped and size objects using vision system. For the extraction of the object from the background of the acquired images, spatio-temporal filter and signature parsing algorithm are used. Specially, for the solution of correspondence problem of the multiple objects tracking, we compute snake energy and position information of the target objects. Through the real-time tracking experiment, we verified the effectiveness of the suggested tracking algorithm.

Image segmentation is teh important step in image infromation extraction for computer vison sytems. Fuzzy clustering methods have been used extensively in color image segmentation. Most analytic fuzzy clustering approaches are derived from the fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm. The FCM algorithm uses th eprobabilistic constraint that the memberships of a data point across classes sum to 1. However, the memberships resulting from the FCM do not always correspond to the intuitive concept of degree of belongingor compatibility. moreover, the FCM algorithm has considerable trouble above under noisy environments in the feature space. Recently, the possibilistic C-mean (PCM) for solving growing for color image segmentation. In the PCM, the membersip values may be interpreted as degrees of possibility of the data points belonging to the classes. So, the problems in the FCM can be solved by the PCM. The clustering results by just PCM are not smoothly bounded, and they often have holes. So, the region growing was used as a postprocessing. In our experiments, we illustrated that the proposed method is reasonable than the FCM in noisy enviironments.
