차량을 포함하는 임의의 영상에서 번호판 추출은 다양한 조명조건 및 배경, 촬영 각도, 번호판 종류 등의 요인으로 인해 고도의 영상처리 과정을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 실제 환경에서 발생할 수 있는 이러한 요인들에 대해 강건한 번호판 추출 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 입력영상의 RGB 성분들을 색상성분과 영암성분으로 분리할 수 있는 칼라모델 HSI로 변환하고 H(hue)와 S(saturation)성분을 이용하여 번호판의 배경색상을 고려한 칼라 퍼지지도를 구성한다. 또한, I(intensity)성분을 이용하여 에지밀도를 추출하고 에지밀도 지도에 기반한 영역분리 퍼지지도를 생성한다. 마지막으로, 후보영역 탐색을 위해 칼라 퍼지지도와 영역분리 퍼지지도를 결합하고, 연결성분 해석(Connected Component Analysis)을 통해 ROI(Region Of Interest)를 추출한다. 제안하는 방법의 유효성 검증을 위해 조명 및 촬영 각도에 제한을 거의 두지 않고 촬영된 차량 영상 410장을 실험 영상으로 사용하였다. 실험 결과에서는 $97.1\%$의 효과적인 추출 성공률을 볼 수 있었다.

In this work a Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT)-based feature dimensionality reduced approach for fingerprint matching is proposed. The DCT is applied on a small region around the core point of fingerprint image. The performance of our proposed method is evaluated on a small database of Bologna University and two large databases of FVC2000. A dimensionally reduced feature vector is formed using only approximately 19%, 7%, and 6% DCT coefficients for the three databases from Bologna University and FVC2000, respectively. We compared the results of our proposed method with the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) method, the rotated wavelet filters (RWFs) method, and a combination of DWT+RWF and DWT+(HL+LH) subbands of RWF. The proposed method reduces the false acceptance rate from approximately 18% to 4% on DB1 (Database of Bologna University), approximately 29% to 16% on DB2 (FVC2000), and approximately 26% to 17% on DB3 (FVC2000) over the DWT based feature extraction method.

본 논문에서는 블록 다중 텍스쳐 영상으로부터 바코드 영역을 추출하기 위한 한 방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 택배 등의 물류 처리에서 사용되는 바코드는 직선 형태의 바로 구성되며, 물체의 윗면에 붙여진 바코드의 방향에 따라 바의 방향은 수직, 수평, 대각선의 방향으로 나타난다. 따라서, 제안된 방법에서는 다양한 텍스쳐의 특징 벡터를 사용하여 바코드의 특징을 검출한다. 또한 처리 시간의 단축을 위하여 영상을 일정한 블록으로 분할한 후에 국부 특징 마스크를 사용하여 텍스쳐 특징 벡터를 산출하고, 우편물 영상에서 각각의 특징에 따른 분류를 통해 바코드 영역을 결정한다.

The palm print recognition is the most reliable authentication method in the biometrics. In this paper, using the efficient segmentation of the palm print region we propose the method of enabling the palm print recognition as the same method applicable to the finger print recognition. To achieve this, we propose the image processing procedures of the palm print segmentation and the feature extraction. We compare the matching result after extracting the features for the finger print and the palm print.

영상내의 문자정보는 색인에 필요한 유용한 정보를 제공하기 때문에 이를 이용한 멀티미디어 데이터의 색인기법이 최근 많이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 칼라동영상에서 실시간으로 문자를 추출하고 추적하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 연결성분(connected component)방법을 이용한 문자추출 모듈과 SSD(a Sum Of Squared Difference)를 이용한 문자추적모듈로 구성되어져 있다. 실제 TV영상에 대하여 제안된 방법을 테스트 해본 결과 빠른 문자추출과 추적시간을 가졌다.

A dark brownish pigment from fruit body of Auricularia auricula was isolated and characterized in this report. The pigment was obtained with a yield of 0.61%(w/w) by alkaline extraction and subsequent purification steps. It showed the positive $FeCl_3$ test which was the indication of phenolic compounds. A synthetic melanin showed a similar spectrometric characteristics to the pigment extract regarding a characteristic UV absorption between 200-250 nm and infrared absorptions profiles in the finger print region including absorption peaks at 1701 and 1624 $cm^{-1}$. Its element analysis indicated that its atomic copmposition is close to that of DOPA melanin (eumelanin). With the result of its antioxidant activity in the TNBT (5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid) assay, we concluded that the dark brownish pigment from A. auricula is a melanin-like compound having a powerful antioxidative activity.

Skeletal Class III malocclusion is a relatively common form of malocclusion in Korea. In borderline cases where only mild skeletal discrepancy exists and if worsening of the facial profile is expected as a result of premolar extraction, mandibular full arch distalization with miniscrews is the treatment of choice. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pattern of tooth movement and evaluate the stability of mandibular full arch distalization and to identify correlation between stability and factors such as initial skeletal pattern, dental changes during treatment and alveolar bone in symphysis region using lateral cephalograms.

In this paper, a new type of lip feature is proposed as distance metric in CIELUV color system. The performance of the proposed feature was tested on face image database, Helen dataset from University of Illinois. The test processes consists of three steps. The first step is feature extraction and second step is principal component analysis for the optimal projection of a feature vector. The final step is Otsu's threshold for a two-class problem. The performance of the proposed feature was better than conventional features. Performance metrics for the evaluation are OverLap and Segmentation Error. Best performance for the proposed feature was OverLap of 65% and 59 % of segmentation error. Conventional methods shows 80~95% for OverLap and 5~15% of segmentation error usually. In conventional cases, the face database is well calibrated and adjusted with the same background and illumination for the scene. The Helen dataset used in this paper is not calibrated or adjusted at all. These images are gathered from internet and therefore, there are no calibration and adjustment.

A column switching HPLC assay was developed to allow the separation and quantitation of cetirizine in human plasma by ultraviolet (UV) detection. Plasma samples were prepared by liquid-liquid extraction. After drying, the residue was reconstituted in 20 mM phosphate buffer (pH 2.8) containing 15% acetonitrile. The samples were initially injected onto a clean-up Capcell Pak MF C18 column. (50 mm $\times$ 4.6 mm I.D.), and the chromatographic region containing the peaks of interest was followed in an analytical C18 microcolumn (250 mm$\times$1.5 mm I. D.) via column switching device.

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a rare odontogenic tumor, which occurs in young children before the age of 20 years. Radiologically, it is a well-defined radiolucent lesion containing radiopaque masses. Histopathologically, AFO is composed of odontogenic epithelium in a primitive-appearing connective tissue and hard tissue consisting of enamel and dentin. It is commonly found in the mandibular posterior region. AFO may be asymptomatic and is often associated with delayed tooth eruption. As it shows similar characteristics clinically and radiologically to odontoma, differential diagnosis through histopathological examination is important. Treatment of AFO is conservative enucleation, and teeth enclosed or associated with the lesion may require extraction. In this report, 2 young patients who visited our clinic with a chief complaint of delayed eruption were diagnosed as AFO with radiological and histopathological examination. After the surgery, the healing status was found to be favorable, and no evidence of recurrence was observed.
