Direct volume rendering (DVR) is an important 3D visualization method for medical images as it depicts the full volumetric data. However, because DVR renders the whole volume, regions of interests (ROIs) such as a tumor that are embedded within the volume maybe occluded from view. Thus, conventional 2D cross-sectional views are still widely used, while the advantages of the DVR are often neglected. In this study, we propose a new visualization algorithm where we augment the 2D slice of interest (SOI) from an image volume with volumetric information derived from the DVR of the same volume. Our occlusion-based DVR augmentation for SOI (ODAS) uses the occlusion information derived from the voxels in front of the SOI to calculate a depth parameter that controls the amount of DVR visibility which is used to provide 3D spatial cues while not impairing the visibility of the SOI. We outline the capabilities of our ODAS and through a variety of computer tomography (CT) medical image examples, compare it to a conventional fusion of the SOI and the clipped DVR.

In this paper, we propose an optimal thresholding method for the voxel coloring in the reconstruction of a 3D shape. Our purposed method is a new approach to resolve the trade-off error of the threshold value on determining the photo-consistency in the conventional method. Optimal thresholding value is decided to compare the surface voxel of photo-consistency with inside voxel on the optic ray of the center camera. As iterating the process of the voxels, the threshold value is approached to the optimal value for the individual surface voxel. And also, graph cut method is reduced to the surface noise on eliminating neighboring voxel. To verify the proposed algorithm, we simulated in the virtual and real environment. It is advantaged to speed up and accuracy of a 3D face reconstruction by applying the methods of optimal threshold and graph cut as compare with conventional algorithms.

Pattern recognition in three dimensional image is highly sensitive to assigned value and formation of voxels (pixels for two dimension case). However, occurred while digital imaging, digitization error leads to unpredictable noises in image data. Skeletonization, a powerful tool of pattern recognition, is sensitively dependent on boundary formation. Without successful controlling of the noises, the results of skeletonization can not be allowed as a stable solution. To minimize the effect of noises affecting to boundary formation, we developed a robust processing method useful in skeletonization technique for pattern recognition. Finally, we provide rigorous test results achieved throughout simulation on analytic three dimensional image.

In this paper, a method of constructing a rectangular net from unorganized point cloud data is presented. In the method an implicit surface that fits the given point data is generated by using principal component analysis(PCA) and adaptive domain decomposition method(ADDM). Then a complete and quality rectangular net can be obtained by extracting voxel data from the implicit surface and projecting exterior faces of extracted voxels onto the implicit surface. The main advantage of the proposed method is that a quality rectangular net can be extracted from randomly scattered 3D points only without any further information. Furthermore the results of this works can be used to obtain many useful information including a slicing data, a solid STL model and a NURBS surface model in many areas involved in treatment of large amount of point data by proper processing of implicit surface and rectangular net generated previously.

This paper describes an automatic 3D models generation algorithm based on 2D silhouette images, using X-ray camera without camera parameters. The algorithm takes a multi steps process approach. First, a series of 2D silhouette images is captured from different directions of object and then converted to binary images. An octree data structure is constructed for voxel-based representation of object. An estimate 3D volume of object can be reconstructed by intersecting voxels and the 2D silhouettes. The marching cube algorithm is applied to get triangle mesh representing of the obtained 3D model for rendering.

In this paper, we present an effective system for the 3D scene labeling of objects from RGB-D videos. Our system uses a Markov Random Field (MRF) over a voxel representation of the 3D scene. In order to estimate the correct label of each voxel, the probabilistic graphical model integrates both scores from sliding window-based object detectors and also from object location prior maps. Both the object detectors and the location prior maps are pre-trained from manually labeled RGB-D images. Additionally, the model integrates the scores from considering the geometric constraints between adjacent voxels in the label estimation. We show excellent experimental results for the RGB-D Scenes Dataset built by the University of Washington, in which each indoor scene contains tabletop objects.

Ray-tracing based method for computing projection image calculates the exact amounts of the intersection between voxels and a ray. Among several different implementations of the ray tracing based methods, Siddon's method is the earliest one. Later faster implementation such as Jacobs's method, Zhao's method, were investigated. To our knowledge, Zhao's method is the fastest one among these. We improve the speed of the Zhao's method by predicting the number of the same intersection length between voxel and a ray. In our experiment, the proposed method showed significantly faster computation speed than Zhao's method.

Indoor localization is one of the basic elements of Location-Based Service, such as indoor navigation, location-based precision marketing, spatial recognition of robotics, augmented reality, and mixed reality. We propose a Voxel Labeling-based visual positioning system using object simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Our method is a method of determining a location through single image 3D cuboid object detection and object SLAM for indoor navigation, then mapping to create an indoor map, addressing it with voxels, and matching with a defined space. First, high-quality cuboids are created from sampling 2D bounding boxes and vanishing points for single image object detection. And after jointly optimizing the poses of cameras, objects, and points, it is a Visual Positioning System (VPS) through matching with the pose information of the object in the voxel database. Our method provided the spatial information needed to the user with improved location accuracy and direction estimation.

Volumetric 3D displays generate voxels to enable users to watch three-dimensional virtual objects from various angles, and they have a significant advantage over other types of 3D displays in terms of realism and the absence of vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC). By virtue of these advantages, various volumetric 3D display technologies incorporating novel approaches have been introduced competitively. As a result, the conventional classification criteria for volumetric 3D technology often fall short in categorizing these innovative methods. In this study, we present an improved classification framework capable of accommodating these new technologies. We expect that a new classification may offer some intuition to identify areas of technical deficiency and contribute to improving the technology.

뇌의 하부 구조인 해마의 전역적 부피 감소와 국부적 형상 변화는 정신의학적 질환에 깊게 관련되어 있다. 해마 구조에 관한 형상 분석 연구는 크게 해마 형상 표현 모델을 구축하고, 이러한 형상 표현으로부터 형상 유사성을 계산하는 과정으로 구성된다. 본 논문에서는 메쉬, 복셀, 골격 데이터를 포함하는 복합적인 옥트리 기반의 형상 표현을 이용하여 해마의 형상을 분석하기 위한 새로운 방법을 제시한다. 우선 해마에 관한 MRI 데이터를 입력으로 받아, 마칭큐브 알고리즘을 사용하여 다해상도 메쉬 모델을 구축한다. 이렇게 구성된 다각형 모델은 깊이맵 기반의 복셀화 방법을 이용하여 중간 단계의 이진 복셀 데이터로 변환된다. 그리고 변환된 복셀 데이터로부터 슬라이스 기반의 골격화 방법에 의하여 해마의 3차원 골격을 추출한다. 그런 후에 옥트리 기반의 다해상도 형상 표현을 얻기위해 해마의 메쉬, 복셀, 골격 데이터를 계층적으로 공간 분할하여 저장하고, 광선 추적 기반의 메쉬 샘플링 방법을 적용하여 샘플 메쉬 데이터를 추출한다. 최종적으로, 형상간 유사성 측정을 위하여 추출된 골격으로부터 방사되는 광선들과 충돌되는 각 샘플 메쉬 쌍에 대하여 $L_2$과 하우스도르프 거리를 계산하고 인터랙티브한 국부적 형상 분석을 지원하기 위하여 마우스 피킹 인터페이스를 채택한다. 이것은 형상의 국부적 변화에 대하여 다양한 해상도에 기반한 형상 분석을 가능하게 한다. 본 논문에서는 실험을 통하여, 제시한 형상 분석 방법이 회전과 스케일 등의 변환에 강인하고, 특히 형상의 국부적 변화 정도를 정확도를 유지하면서 빠르게 평가하는데에 효과적임을 확인하였다. 경로의 수신 신호가 완전 동기 된 수신 신호임을 확인하였다.omonas aeruginosa PA01과 $82\%$로 가장 높은 유사성을 보였고 Pseudomonas arvilla C-1와는 $71\%,$ Pseudomonas putida KT2440과는 $59\%,$ 그리고 Pseudomonas sp.

Filter mating method를 수행하여 이들 균주들의 독소 생산 유전자와 항생제 내성 유전자가 사람에서 분리된 균주로 전달되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 실험의 결과는 설사 중상을 나타내는 돼지로부터 분리된 용혈성 E. coli의 독성과 세포 부착능력, 그리고 항생제 내성간의 상호 연관성을 보여주지 않았으나 동물 분리 세균의 항생제 내성과 독소 생산 능력이 유전자 전달을 통해서 뿐만 아니라 세균의 직접 접촉에 의해서도 인체로 전달될 수 있는 것을 보여주는 것이다.다. 본 연구를 토대로 장시간의 체외순환에서는 신장기능을 대표하는 수치들에도
