  • Although many imaging modalities can play some roles in the diagnosis of vertebral artery dissection (VAD), digital subtraction angiography (DSA) remains the gold standard method, with the highest detection rate and ability to assist in planning for endovascular treatment. However, this tool is often avoided in children because its invasive nature and it exposes them to radiation. High resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) have been suggested to be a reliable and non-invasive alternative, but it has never been discussed in children in whom vertebral artery dissection is a rare condition. In this report, we evaluate a case of a 2-year-old child who initially presented with cerebellar symptoms, and was early diagnosed with vertebral artery dissection using HR- MRI and was successfully treated.

  • 배경제거는 영상에서 움직이는 객체를 분리할 때 유용한 방법이며, 대표적인 예인 Mixture of Gaussian (MOG) 알고리즘은 픽셀 당 3-5 가우스 모델을 혼합해 배경과 움직이는 객체를 구분한다. 소형 표적을 추적하기 위해서는 화소 혹은 작은 블록 단위로 시/공간적 밝기 변화량을 이용하는 옵티컬 플로우 기법이 적절하다. 본 논문에서는 소형 표적의 강인한 객체 추적을 위해 MOG2와 옵티컬 플로우의 결합 방법을 소개한다. 제안된 방법은 MOG2를 사용하여 전경 영역을 획득하고 전경 영역에만 옵티컬 플로우를 적용한다. 실험 결과는 제안 방법이 잡음과 배경의 미세 변화가 있더라도 무인 비행체를 잘 추적할 수 있음을 보여준다.

  • The propose of this study was to quantify the changes of soft tissue profile following orthodontic treatment and to evaluate the relationship of those to the skeletal elements. Pre-and post-treatment lateral cephalometric head films of 40 cases(20 extraction cases, 20 non-extraction cases) were traced, and the changes following treatment were measured and quantified by digital subtraction method, and statisticall analyzed. The obtained results were as follows; 1. in extraction group, the change of upper lip area(UL) was $558.60\pm355.17$ pixels, that of lower lip area(LL) was $941.15\pm364.07$ pixels. But, in non-extraction group the change of uper lip area(UL) was $125.65\pm404.16$ pixels, that of lower lip area(LL) was $104.05\pm440.93$ pixels, which was significantly lesser than those in extraction group. 2. In extraction group, there was significant correlationship between upper lip area change(UL) and difference of upper incisor point(${\Delta}UIP$). Lower lip area change(LL) was significantly correlated with difference of upper incisor(${\Delta}UIP$), difference of Franlrfort upper incisor angle(${\Delta}FUIA$) or difference of interincisal angle(${\Delta}IIA$). 3. In extraction group, the ratio of difference of upper incisor point(${\Delta}UIP$) to difference of labrale superius(${\Delta}LSP$) was 1.68; difference of lower incisor point(${\Delta}LIP$) to difference of labrale inferius(${\Delta}LI$) was 1.19; difference of upper incisor point(${\Delta}UIP$) to increment in upper lip thickness(${\Delta}TUL$) was 1.95. 4. In non-extraction group, there was a significant correlationship between upper lip area change(UL) and difference of upper incisor point(${\Delta}UIP$).

  • There has been a lot of research into a background separation method, which is a preprocess of a technique of automatically perceiving an invader, and the removal of shadows around a moving object in the video monitoring field. When a moving object is not clearly separated from its shadow, it is difficult to analyze the shape accurately, and it is also hard to trace its position. This study suggests how to utilize a brightness value for removing a shadow. It came from the fact that there appears to be no change of color in the shadow area relative to the background area, and there only occurs a difference in brightness. In addition, this method uses the renewal of a critical value used for the removal of shadow in the previous frame, in the next frame.

  • In this paper, We proposed the approach of GPU and motion vector to analysis the Human activity in real-time surveillance system. The most important part, that is detect blob(human) in the foreground. We use to detect Adaptive Gaussian Mixture, Weighted subtraction image for salient motion and motion vector. And then, We use motion vector for human activity analysis. In this paper, the activities of human recognize and classified such as meta-classes like this {Active, Inactive}, {Position Moving, Fixed Moving}, {Walking, Running}. We created approximately 300 conditions for the simulation. As a result, We showed a high success rate about 86~98%. The results also showed that the high resolution experiment by the proposed GPU-based method was over 10 times faster than the cpu-based method.

  • In subtractive hybridization, target sequences in the tester are enriched by hybridizing with an excess amount of driver, followed by removing the tester hybridized with the driver. All of existing subtractive cloning methods are designed to remove the tester/driver hybrid. The removal of hybrid, however, is often unsatisfactory For various reasons. In this study we developed a subtractive enrichment protocol in which the tester/driver can be completely removed by selecting only the tester/tester after hybridization. In this protocol both the tester and driver DNAs are ligated with same linker DNAs and amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The tester DNA is then digested with two different enzymes and used in subsequent hybridization with an excess driver. After hybridization, the DNA is ligated with the adaptor that is only compatible with the tester/tester. Since only the tester/tester can have the new adaptor, no tester/driver can be amplified by PCR in this protocol. Unlike other methods, a 100% subtraction efficiency can be achieved even though the enzymatic treatments used in the enrichment procedure are incomplete. Furthermore, only the hybridized tester DNA can have the new adaptor and be amplified by PCR, resulting in 100% denaturation in effect. The efficacy of this novel method was verified with the model system in which a known amount of the target sequence is included.

  • In this paper, we develope and implement a TFT-LCD cell defects detection algorithm using morphology. To detect the bright line or dark line defects and the bright pixel or dark pixel defects of the TFT-LCD cells, we determine the shape of the morphology operators considering the shape characteristics of the TFT-LCD sub pixels. Using dilation, erosion, and the subtraction operators, we extract gray level defects information. Then, we apply the optimal threshold method which shows the best results in terms of several criteria. Finally, we determine the defects using labelling method. From various experiments using TFT-LCD panels, the proposed algorithm shows superior results.

  • In this paper, a scheme of noise cancellation using spectral subreaction method with single input in an autombile noise environment is proposed. In order to remove the changing automonile noise components form the noisy speech signal, the noise of various states is analyzed and its characteristics are presented. For the decision of speech/nonspeech and the estimation of noise spectrum, a classification function is proposed on the basis of noise analysis. This function presents the precise decision of speech/nonspeech and the optimal estimation of noise spectrum with less computation. As the result of the estimation of noise spectrum by the proposed classification function, the clean speech signal is extracted from the noisy speech signal with high signal-to-ratio.

  • In our country, in order to cure diseases, a large number of crude drug preparations has been available. Nevertheless, the development of crude drug preparations have been inhibited, because the quality control is not completed so far. Therefore, we have eontinued on studing the quality control method by Zig-zag TLC. profile analysis. The water extract of 'Samyo-Tang' and componental crude drug (Glycyrrhizae Radix, Ephedrae Herba, Armenicae Semen) were developed on Silica gel $60F_{254}\;plate\;(E.\;Merck)$ useing elution solvent. The developed plate were examined useing Dual Wavelength Zig-zag Scanner (Shimadzu). According to the results of the experiment, it could be summarized as follow: 1) Original patterns of TLC profiles of 'Samyo-Tang' componental crude drug and mixing two crude drugs of 'Samyo-Tang' were observed. 2) Original patterns TLC profile of each extract after spraying with 2% ninhydrine were observed. 3) In the extract of addition and subtraction of Ephedrae Herba, peak area of Rf 0.48 and Rf 0.60 were varied quantitatively.
