In this study, TiO₂-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite granules were prepared via spray drying technique. To investigate the effects of solid content and binder/powder ratio in the slurry on the granulation behavior of TiO₂ powders, the feed compositions were designed to vary over a wide range. The morphology, actual densities, and average granule size and size distribution of the TiO₂-PVA composite granules were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy technique, a gas pycnometer, and an image analyzing program (Image-J), respectively. The results indicate that solid content and the amount of PVA in the feedstock slurry are the dominant factors determining the granule morphology, size, and size distribution of TiO₂-PVA composite. Moreover, it was observed that increasing the solid content and the amount of PVA in the slurry improved the granulation process and reduced the granule defects. For the preparation of spherical TiO₂-PVA composite granules with the minimum amount of non-granulated powders, the optimized composition of the feedstock slurry was found to be 35 wt.% solid and 3 wt.% PVA.

In this paper, we proposed an optical encryption method based in the concept of visual cryptography and interferometry. In our method a secret binary image was divided into two sub-images and they were encrypted by 'XOR' operation with a random key mask. Finally each encrypted image was changed into phase mask. By interference of these two phase masks the original image was obtained. Compared with general visual encryption method, this optical method had good signal-to-noise ratio due to no need to generate sub-pixels like visual encryption.

본 논문에서는 영상의 에지와 칼라 분포를 부영상(sub-image)의 단위로 기술하기 위해 MPEG-7의 여러 가지 서술자 중 에지히스토그램 서술자(EHD: Edge Histogram Descriptor)와 컬러레이아웃 서술자(CLD: Color Layout Descriptor)를 조합한 영역기반 영상 검색 시스템을 제안한다. 영상 내의 관심영역 (ROI) 선택의 기본 단위는 영상 공간을 $16(4{\times}4)$개의 겹치지 않는 영역으로 분할한 EHD의 부영상 블록이다. 따라서 영상 특징 벡터에 대한 블록-대-블록의 일-대-일 대응 관계를 유지하기 위해 CLD의 기술자는 $8{\times}8$ 역 DCT (IDCT)를 통해 $4{\times}4$의 각 부영상에 대응하는 컬러 특징을 생성한다 제안된 방법이 MPEG-7의 기술자에 대해 관심영역기반 영상 검색에 적용될 수 있음을 실험을 통해 제시하였다.

In this study, by applying mobile based GIS and image analysis of particulate matter ($PM_{10}$) concentration in Seoul and Ulsan in Korea, to identify the user's location and also implemented the application to information exchange. It strengthened citizens' access to air quality information through the application and derived the expanded environment information sharing through real-time user participation. Through atmospheric concentrations image analysis, it showed a new environmental information construction possibility. It had the effect of expanding the information collecting through the local user participation on the limited information collected area which place is not yet constructed atmospheric monitoring network. Location-based particulate matter information service application provides a user location's $PM_{10}$ information from the 25 urban air monitoring network real-time database of the Ministry of Environment. Furthermore, if the user sent a picture of the atmosphere to the server, should match the image density values of the database and express on Seoul's maps through the IDW interpolation. And then a $PM_{10}$ concentration result is transmitted to user in real time.

Boron-neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a cancer treatment method that exploits the high neutron reactivity of boron. Monitoring the prompt gamma rays (PGs) produced during neutron irradiation is essential for ensuring the accuracy and safety of BNCT. We investigate the imaging of PGs produced by the boron-neutron capture reaction through Monte Carlo simulations of a gamma camera with a SrI₂ scintillator and parallel-hole collimator. GAGG scintillator is also used for a comparison. The simulations allow the shapes of the energy spectra, which exhibit a peak at 478 keV, to be determined along with the PG images from a boron-water phantom. It is found that increasing the size of the water phantom results in a greater number of image counts and lower contrast. Additionally, a higher septal penetration ratio results in poorer image quality, and a SrI₂ scintillator results in higher image contrast. Thus, we can simulate the BNCT process and obtain an energy spectrum with a reasonable shape, as well as suitable PG images. Both GAGG and SrI₂ crystals are suitable for PG imaging during BNCT. However, for higher imaging quality, SrI₂ and a collimator with a lower septal penetration ratio should be utilized.

대한민국에서 수송으로 인해 발생하는 이산화탄소(CO₂) 배출량은 전체의 16.5%이며, 이중 도로교통 부문이 96.5%를 차지한다. 따라서 도로교통 부문에서 발생하는 CO₂ 배출량을 줄이기 위한 노력이 계속되고 있다. 최근 스마트 교차로의 확대에 따라 교차로를 통과하는 개별차량에 대한 모니터링 기회가 점차 늘어나고 있으며, 장래 자율주행차 보급 확산에 따라 개별차량주행 자료 수집 가능성 또한 커지고 있다. 이에 맞춰 강남구 소재 5개 교차로에 설치된 영상검지기를 통해 얻은 차량의 차종, 교통량, 속도, 가속도와 같은 실제 데이터를 활용해 신호교차로에 접근하는 차량에 대한 CO₂ 배출 현황 조사를 실시했다. 이렇게 수집된 데이터를 초당 데이터를 분석하도록 개량된 MOVES-Matrix 모형에 대입해 2개 대형교차로와 3개 소형교차로에서 하루 동안 발생하는 CO₂ 배출량은 평균 3.1톤임을 확인했다. 본 연구는 실제 개별차량 데이터와 개량된 모형을 활용한 CO₂ 배출량 분석의 새로운 가능성을 보여주는 한편, CO₂ 배출량을 보다 더 정확히 조사해야 하는 필요성을 제시한다.

Recently, there are a lot of multimedia products to using image interpolation system. However, most interpolation systems in existence suffer visually to some extents the effects of blurred edges and jagged artifacts in the image. I in this paper, we propose the adaptive linear interpolation system that uses the sub-pixel. We system calculate the warped distance among the pixels of an image, and use data for Optimize length parameter. Our experimental results show that our new algorithm significantly outperforms linear interpolation in subjective quality, and in most cases, in terms of PSNR as well.

An automated surface-strain measurement system, named ASIAS, was developed by using the image processing and stereo vision techniques in the previous studies by the corresponding author and his coworkers. This system has been upgraded mainly to improve the accuracy through image enhancement, sub-pixel measurement, surface smoothing, etc., since the first version was released. The present study has still more improved the convenience of users as well as the accuracy of measurement by processing high resolution images 8 mega pixels or more which can be easily obtained from a portable digital steal camera. It is proved that high resolution image processing greatly decreases the measurement error and gives strain data without considerable deterioration of accuracy even when the deformed grids to be measured and the master grids for camera calibration are captured together in the same image, making the whole process of strain measurement much simpler.

This paper presents smart regional contrast enhancement technique of partitioned image for local dimming backlight on small-sized mobile display to reach two goals. One is to save the power consumption, and the other to improve contrast ratio of display image. Recently new advanced method is proposed, named local dimming method, that backlight LED is positioned on backside of the display panel. So it is important to partition an image by sub blocks and then post-processing independantly. This means regional contrast enhancement. After partitioning, we compare the mean luminance(Y) value of each sub-block image with the one of original whole image. If some blocks have the mean value lower than the one of whole image, they are processed with the proposed method and others are bypassed. Simultaneously the information of the processed blocks are transferred to BLC(Backlight LED Controller). And then the supply current of each backlight LED is reduced to realize the contrast ratio enhancement and at the same time to power consumption reduction. In addition, we verify this proposed method is free from blocking artifacts.
