Ab initio periodic Hartree-Fock calculations with the full potential and minimum basis set are applied to interpretation of scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) images on 1TVTe2. Our results show that the simulated STM image shows asymmetry while the simulated AFM image shows the circular electron densities at the bright spots without asymmetry of electron density to agree with the experimental AFM image. The bright spots of both the STM and AFM images of VTe2 are associated with the surface Te atoms, while the patterns of bright spots of STM and AFM images are different.

We present a new approach to evaluate the generated texts by Large Language Models (LLMs) for meme classification. Analyzing an image with embedded texts, i.e. meme, is challenging, even for existing state-of-the-art computer vision models. By leveraging large image-to-text models, we can extract image descriptions that can be used in other tasks, such as classification. In our methodology, we first generate image captions using BLIP-2 models. Using these captions, we use GPT-4 to evaluate the relationship between the caption and the meme text. The results show that OPT_6.7B provides a better rating than other LLMs, suggesting that the proposed method has a potential for meme classification.

Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and its variants have powerful discriminative capabilities but most of them just consider each LBP code independently. In this paper, we propose sub oriented histograms of LBP for smoke detection and image classification. We first extract LBP codes from an image, compute the gradient of LBP codes, and then calculate sub oriented histograms to capture spatial relations of LBP codes. Since an LBP code is just a label without any numerical meaning, we use Hamming distance to estimate the gradient of LBP codes instead of Euclidean distance. We propose to use two coordinates systems to compute two orientations, which are quantized into discrete bins. For each pair of the two discrete orientations, we generate a sub LBP code map from the original LBP code map, and compute sub oriented histograms for all sub LBP code maps. Finally, all the sub oriented histograms are concatenated together to form a robust feature vector, which is input into SVM for training and classifying. Experiments show that our approach not only has better performance than existing methods in smoke detection, but also has good performance in texture classification.

Public uniforms play an important role in creating the color and image of urban environment beyond the level of simple working clothes for unity and practicality. Hence this study aims to compare and analyze the color characteristics and images of the police officer, fire fighter, and street cleaner uniforms at home and abroad to guarantee the wearer's safety, increase convenience and agreeability, and give emotional satisfaction to citizens in harmony with urban environment color as public uniforms. For study methods, literature review investigated urban environment, color, and uniforms as public design. Empirical study extracted color data from the public worker uniforms of the world's top 20 cities selected by 'Newsweek' in 2010 and analyzed their colors, tones, and color images. The results of this study are as follows. The most common color for police uniforms were PB(dk) as the main color, PB(p) as the sub color, and Wh as the accent color. For fire fighter uniforms, PB(dkg) was the most common main color; GY(v), as the sub color; and ItGy, as the accent color. The most common color for street cleaner uniforms was YR(v) as the main color; GY(v), as the sub color; and mGy, as the accent color. As a result of analyzing color images of these uniforms, it was found that police uniforms commonly used a modern image; fire fighter uniforms commonly used a natural image and a cool casual image; and street cleaner uniforms commonly used a casual image. As examined above, the color of public uniforms suitable for urban environment and job characteristics is very important to establish the image of public institutions, as well as to create an urban image.

A micromodel was applied to estimate the effects of geological conditions and injection methods on displacement of resident porewater by injecting scCO₂ in the pore scale. Binary images from image analysis were used to distinguish scCO₂-filled-pores from other pore structure. CO₂ flooding followed by porewater displacement, fingering migration, preferential flow and bypassing were observed during scCO₂ injection experiments. Effects of pressure, temperature, salinity, flow rate, and injection methods on storage efficiency in micromodels were represented and examined in terms of areal displacement efficiency. The measurements revealed that the areal displacement efficiency at equilibrium decreases as the salinity increases, whereas it increases as the pressure and temperature increases. It may result from that the overburden pressure and porewater salinity can affect the CO₂ solubility in water and the hydrophilicity of silica surfaces, while the neighboring temperature has a significant effect on viscosity of scCO₂. Increased flow rate could create more preferential flow paths and decrease the areal displacement efficiency. Compared to the continuous injection of scCO₂, the pulse-type injection reduced the probability for occurrence of fingering, subsequently preferential flow paths, and recorded higher areal displacement efficiency. More detailed explanation may need further studies based on closer experimental observations.

본 논문은 영상 프레임간 차분 성분을 이용한 3D-DCT의 부영역 분할에 따르는 압축효과를 고찰하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 연속되는 9개의 프레임 그룹단위를 이용하여 8개의 차분 성분을 큐빅블록(8${\times}$8${\times}$8) 형태로 나타낸 정보를 3차원 DCT를 취한 후 부대역으로 분할하려 압축하는 방법이다. 프레임간 시${\cdot}$공간의 주파수 성분을 가지고 8개의 차분 프레임을 DCT한 주파수 영역에서 영상 정보는 저주파 영역인 큐빅블록의 모서리 부분에 집중하므로 효율적인 압축데이터를 얻기 위해 시간축 방향의 프레임 성분블록( 8${\times}$8 블록)을 4${\times}$4 부블록으로 나누었다. 여기서, 이 부블록의 가중치를 이용하여 저주파 부분에 대한 가변적 부영역을 적용시켜 압축율을 높였다. 모의실험에서 비교적 단순한 영상과 고주파 성분을 많이 포함하는 복잡한 영상을 이용하여 복원된 영상의 해상도와 압축율로 비교 평가하였다. 그 결과 평균 0.04-0.05bpp의 압축범위에서 각각의 영상에 대하여 평균적으로 34.75dB와 30.36dB의 높은 압축효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Purpose: Joint label fusion (JLF) is a popular multi-atlas-based segmentation algorithm, which compensates for dependent errors that may exist between atlases. However, in order to get good segmentation results, it is very important to set the several free parameters of the algorithm to optimal values. In this study, we first investigate the feasibility of a JLF algorithm for prostate segmentation in MR images, and then suggest the optimal set of parameters for the automatic prostate segmentation by validating the results of each parameter combination. Materials and Methods: We acquired T2-weighted prostate MR images from 20 normal heathy volunteers and did a series of cross validations for every set of parameters of JLF. In each case, the atlases were rigidly registered for the target image. Then, we calculated their voting weights for label fusion from each combination of JLF's parameters (r_pxy, r_pz, r_sxy, r_sz, β). We evaluated the segmentation performances by five validation metrics of the Prostate MR Image Segmentation challenge. Results: As the number of voxels participating in the voting weight calculation and the number of referenced atlases is increased, the overall segmentation performance is gradually improved. The JLF algorithm showed the best results for dice similarity coefficient, 0.8495 ± 0.0392; relative volume difference, 15.2353 ± 17.2350; absolute relative volume difference, 18.8710 ± 13.1546; 95% Hausdorff distance, 7.2366 ± 1.8502; and average boundary distance, 2.2107 ± 0.4972; in parameters of r_pxy = 10, r_pz = 1, r_sxy = 3, r_sz = 1, and β = 3. Conclusion: The evaluated results showed the feasibility of the JLF algorithm for automatic segmentation of prostate MRI. This empirical analysis of segmentation results by label fusion allows for the appropriate setting of parameters.

Objectives: This study assessed the reliability of digital color measurements using images of resin composite specimens captured with a cellphone. Materials and Methods: The reference color of cylindrical specimens built-up with the use of resin composite (shades A1, A2, A3, and A4) was measured with a portable spectrophotometer (CIELab). Images of the specimens were obtained individually or pairwise (compared shades in the same photograph) under standardized parameters. The color of the specimens was measured in the images using RGB system and converted to CIELab system using image processing software. Whiteness index (WI_D) and color differences (ΔE₀₀) were calculated for each color measurement method. For the cellphone, the ΔE₀₀ was calculated between the pairs of shades in separate images and in the same image. Data were analyzed using 2-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (α = 0.05). Linear regression models were used to predict the reference ΔE₀₀ values of those calculated using color measured in the images. Results: Images captured with the cellphone resulted in different WI_D values from the spectrophotometer only for shades A3 and A4. No difference to the reference ΔE₀₀ was observed when individual images were used. In general, a similar ranking of ΔE₀₀ among resin composite shades was observed for all methods. Stronger correlation coefficients with the reference ΔE₀₀ were observed using individual than pairwise images. Conclusions: This study showed that the use of cellphone images to measure the color difference seems to be a feasible alternative providing outcomes similar to those obtained with the spectrophotometer.

본 논문은 밴드 매칭과 경계제거 두 부분으로 나누어진 새로운 인페인팅 방법을 제안한다. 밴드 매칭은 삭제하고자하는 영역(인페인팅 영역)을 둘러싸는 밴드와 영상의 나머지 영역을 비교하여 그 차이가 가장 작은 영역을 인페인팅 영역에 채워 넣는 것이고, 경계제거는 밴드매칭으로 채워진 영역과 주변영역 사이에 나타나는 경계를 제거하는 것이다. 제안하는 방법은 인페인팅 영역으로 연속된 선이 지나는 경우 좋지 못한 결과를 얻는 경우가 있는데, 이러한 경우 영역분할이라는 과정을 더한다. 영역분할 방법은 인페인팅 영역을 작게 나누고, 분할된 각각의 영역에 대해 밴드 매칭과 경계제거를 수행하는 것이다. 영역분할을 이용하는 경우 분할 개수에 따라 여러 개의 다른 결과를 얻을 수 있고, 사용자는 그 결과들 중에서 가장 좋은 결과를 선택할 수 있다.
