Dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging plays an important role in non-invasive detection and characterization of primary and metastatic lesions in the liver. Recently, efforts have been made to improve spatial and temporal resolution of DCE liver MRI for arterial phase imaging. Review of recent publications related to arterial phase imaging of the liver indicates that there exist primarily two approaches: breath-hold and free-breathing. For breath-hold imaging, acquiring multiple arterial phase images in a breath-hold is the preferred approach over conventional single-phase imaging. For free-breathing imaging, a combination of three-dimensional (3D) stack-of-stars golden-angle sampling and compressed sensing parallel imaging reconstruction is one of emerging techniques. Self-gating can be used to decrease respiratory motion artifact. This article introduces recent MRI technologies relevant to hepatic arterial phase imaging, including differential subsampling with Cartesian ordering (DISCO), golden-angle radial sparse parallel (GRASP), and X-D GRASP. This article also describes techniques related to dynamic 3D image reconstruction of the liver from golden-angle stack-of-stars data.

다시점 비디오는 카메라간의 다른 위치와 불완전한 카메라 보정(calibration)으로 인접한 시점의 영상 내에 존재하는 동일물체 간에 색상 차이가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 색상 불일치(color mismatch)는 시점 간 움직임 예측(inter-view prediction) 수행 시, 오정합을 발생시켜 다시점 비디오 부호화(Multi-view Video Coding : MVC) 성능을 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 이웃하는 영상 간에 존재하는 휘도 및 색차 성분 불일치를 보상하여 다시점 비디오 부호화의 압축률을 향상시키는 전처리 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법에서는 모든 시점의 영상을 히스토그램 매칭 기법에 의해 정해진 참조 시점 영상의 색상을 기준으로 보정된다. 또한 히스토그램 매칭 수행 전에 YCbCr 색상공간 변경 시에 색차 성분의 대표 값 추출(chrominance subsampling)에 사용되는 Cosited filter를 영상의 각 색상성분에 적용하여 성능을 더욱 높일 수 있다. 히스토그램 매칭은 YCbCr 색상공간에서 RGB 색상공간으로 변환하여 각 색상성분에 적용한다. 이 과정에서 영상에 존재하는 에지의 방향성과 화소 값의 존재 범위를 고려한 효과적인 색상 변환 기법이 사용된다. 실험을 통해 제안하는 전처리 기법이 다른 기법들에 비해 향상된 부호화 효율을 가지는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper describes the multichannel combined R2MFC/DTMF/CCT reciver which provides a signaling service functions for call processing control in digital switching system. Using the TMS320C25 DSP chip, we have implemented multi-function receriver shich processes 8 channels of R2MFC, DTMF, and CCT signals simultaneously. In order to increase the channel multiplicity of the combined receiver. R2MFC and CCT receiver were employed by discrete Fourier transform(DFT) method using Goertzel algorithm, and DTMFreceiver was employ by infinite impulse reponse(IIR) filtering method using 4KHz subsampling technique. The combined receiver has 4 function modes for each channel such as R2MFC, DTMF, CCT, and Idle modes. The function mode of each channel may be selected at any time by single-chip micro-controller(.mu.C). Hence, the number of channels assigned for each function mode can be adjusted dynamically according to the signaling traffic variations. From the experimental test results using the test-bed, it has been proved that the combined receiver statisfies all receiver satisfies all receiver specifications, and provides good channel multiplicity and performance, Therefore, it may give a great improvement than existing receiver in cost, reliability, availability, and serviceability.

집합이론을 기본으로하는 수학적 형태학은 영상처리의 여러분야에서 다양하게 이용되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 수학적 형태학을 이용하는 새로운 이진 영상의 피라미드를 제안하였다. 제안된 방법에서는 이진영상을 특별한 조건을 갖는 구조적 요소(structure element)로 침식 (erosion)하고 침식된 영상을 부표본화(subsampling)를 이 용하여 축소하고, 축소된 영상을 외삽(interpolation)과 침식 할 때와 동일한 구조적요소로 융기(dilation)하여 확장하며, 원 영상과 차를 이용하여 나머지 영상을 구하였다. 이때 사용된 구조적 요소는 부표본화 집합을 융기하였을 경우, 원래의 표본화 집합을 재생할 수 있는 구조적 요소로서, 차이 영상이 0또는 1로 표현되기 위해 충분해야 한다. 또한, 피라미드 구성에 필요한 연산들이 분리가능(separable)함을 증명함으로써 파이프라인 프로세싱등 병렬 연간이 가능함을 입증하였으며, 제안된 피라미드를 이진 영상의 점진적 부호화에 이용할 경우 등가 엔트로피 측면에서 약 1.6에서 2.9배 개선될 수 있음을 보였다.

To determine optimal conditions for measurement of the clearance rate in feeding experiment of an intertidal bivalve Glauconome chinensis, effects of starvation, extent of mixing at subsampling, and initial prey concentration were assessed. Experiments were conducted separately for each condition with different treatments. Two-way ANOVAs showed that there were significant differences in clearance rates among different starvation periods (p<0.001), extents of mixing (p = 0.005), and prey concentrations (p < 0.001). Starvation for 1 or 2 days gave rise to 2 to 3-fold increase in the clearance rate. After starvation for 5 days, the clearance rate decreased seriously, implying loss of physiological status. It is suggested that animals should be fed during acclimation. The differences of the clearance rates between gentle and vigorous mixings were significant, but the differences were smaller than that among different incubation times. It was found that vigorous mixing is not necessary. The effect of initial prey concentration was great. However, optimal prey concentration could not be determined at any fixed value. Experiments with multiple concentrations of algal prey are recommended. Optimal incubation time for measurement of the clearance rate of G. chinensis was determined to be 2-4 hours.

We present a full HD (1080p) H.264/AVC High Profile hardware encoder based on fast motion estimation (ME). Most processing cycles are occupied with ME and use external memory access to fetch samples, which degrades the performance of the encoder. A novel approach to fast ME which uses shared multibank memory can solve these problems. The proposed pixel subsampling ME algorithm is suitable for fast motion vector searches for high-quality resolution images. The proposed algorithm achieves an 87.5% reduction of computational complexity compared with the full search algorithm in the JM reference software, while sustaining the video quality without any conspicuous PSNR loss. The usage amount of shared multibank memory between the coarse ME and fine ME blocks is 93.6%, which saves external memory access cycles and speeds up ME. It is feasible to perform the algorithm at a 270 MHz clock speed for 30 frame/s real-time full HD encoding. Its total gate count is 872k, and internal SRAM size is 41.8 kB.

A correlation exists between luminance samples and chrominance samples of a color image. It is beneficial to exploit such interchannel redundancy for color image compression. We propose an algorithm that predicts chrominance components Cb and Cr from the luminance component Y. The prediction model is trained by supervised learning with Laplacian-regularized least squares to minimize the total prediction error. Kernel principal component analysis mapping, which reduces computational complexity, is implemented on the same point set at both the encoder and decoder to ensure that predictions are identical at both the ends without signaling extra location information. In addition, chrominance subsampling and entropy coding for model parameters are adopted to further reduce the bit rate. Finally, luminance information and model parameters are stored for image reconstruction. Experimental results show the performance superiority of the proposed algorithm over its predecessor and JPEG, and even over JPEG-XR. The compensation version with the chrominance difference of the proposed algorithm performs close to and even better than JPEG2000 in some cases.

컬러 이미지는 Gray Scale 이미지와는 달리 3가지 채널의 조합으로 이루어지고 방대한 정보량 때문에 효과적인 이미지 분할이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 범용성 있는 Color Morphological Pyramids(CMP)구조를 제안하고, 그를 이용한 이미지 분할을 보인다. 이미지 피라미드 구조는 최초 이미지의 반복적인 필터링과 샘플링에 의해 면적비가 $2^{\int}({\int}=1,2,....,N)$이 되는 순차적 이미지 계열이다. 본 방법에서는 CMP를 이용하여 RGB, HSI, CMY 등의 컬러 공간에서 연속적인 필터링 처리로 불필요한 크기의 물체 및 잡음을 제거하고, 다운샘플링과정으로 해상도를 낮춰준다. 생성된 CMP에서 인접 레벨 이미지간에는 이웃한 픽셀 벡터간의 상대거리를 이용한 연결식을 사용하여 새 레벨의 이미지를 생성한 후 이를 이미지 분할한다. 이미지 분할실험을 통하여 본 방법의 유효성을 검증한다.

Recently, the demand for alpha imaging detectors for quantifying the distributions of alpha particles has increased in various fields. This study aims to reconstruct a high-resolution image from an alpha imaging detector by applying a super-spatial resolution method combined with the maximum-likelihood expectation maximization (MLEM) algorithm. To perform the super-spatial resolution method, several images are acquired while slightly moving the detector to predefined positions. Then, a forward model for imaging is established by the system matrix containing the mechanical shifts, subsampling, and measured point-spread function of the imaging system. Using the measured images and system matrix, the MLEM algorithm is implemented, which converges towards a high-resolution image. We evaluated the performance of the proposed method through the Monte Carlo simulations and phantom experiments. The results showed that the super-spatial resolution method was successfully applied to the alpha imaging detector. The spatial resolution of the resultant image was improved by approximately 12% using four images. Overall, the study's outcomes demonstrate the feasibility of the super-spatial resolution method for the alpha imaging detector. Possible applications of the proposed method include high-resolution imaging for alpha particles of in vitro sliced tissue and pre-clinical biologic assessments for targeted alpha therapy.
