Since the radar satellite missions such as TerraSAR-X and COSMO-SkyMed were launched in 2007, the spatial resolution of spaceborne SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) images reaches about 1 meter at spotlight mode. In 2011, the first Korean SAR satellite, KOMPSAT-5, will be launched, operating at X-band with the highest spatial resolution of 1 m as well. The improved spatial resolution of state-of-the-art SAR sensor suggests expanding InSAR(Interferometric SAR) analysis in urban monitoring. By the way, the shadow and layover phenomena are more prominent in urban areas due to building structure because of inherent side-looking geometry of SAR system. Up to date the most conventional algorithms do not consider the return signals at the frontage of building during InSAR phase and SAR intensity simulation. In this study the new algorithm introducing multi-scattering in layover region is proposed for phase and intensity simulation, which is utilized a precise LIDAR DSM(Digital Surface Model) in urban areas. The InSAR phases simulated by the proposed method are compared with TerraSAR-X spotlight data. As a result, both InSAR phases are well matched, even in layover areas. This study will be applied to urban monitoring using high resolution SAR data, in terms of change detection and displacement monitoring at the scale of building unit.

The monitoring of urban area, target detection and building reconstruction have been actively studied and investigated since high resolution X-band SAR images could be acquired by airborne and/or satellite SAR systems. This paper describes an efficient approach to reconstruct artificial structures (e.g. apartment, building and house) in urban area using high resolution X-band SAR images. Building footprint was first extracted from 1:25,000 digital topographic map and then a corner line of building was detected by an automatic detecting algorithm. With SAR amplitude images, an initial building height was calculated by the length of layover estimated using KS-test (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test) from the corner line. The interferometric SAR phases were simulated depending on SAR geometry and changable building heights ranging from -10 m to +10 m of the initial building height. With an interferogram from real SAR data set, the simulation results were compared using the method of the phase consistency. One of results can be finally defined as the reconstructed building height. The developed algorithm was applied to repeat-pass TerraSAR-X spotlight mode data set over an apartment complex in Daejeon city, Korea. The final building heights were validated against reference heights extracted from LiDAR DSM, with an RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) of about 1~2m.

The purpose of this study was to examine the satisfaction level of patients with oral health care provided by a dental hospital, especially scaling, and their oral health behavior. The subjects in this study were 263 college students who were in their 20s and selected from among patients who visited D university dental hospital in Gangwon Province during the oral prophylaxis practice of dental hygiene sophomores and juniors. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. Whether the selected students had ever had their teeth scaled was checked, and those who had outnumbered the others who hadn't. The rates of the former and latter respectively stood at 61.2 percent and 38.8 percent. Regarding places where they got their teeth scaled, the majority of the students that represented 75.2 percent did that at dental clinics. By gender, 34.4 percent of the male students did that at schools, which were larger than 11.8 percent of the female students who did. 88.2 percent of the female students did that at dental clinics, which were larger than 65.5 percent of the male students who did. Gender made significant differences to that(x2=10.79, p<.01). 2. As for satisfaction level with scaling by gender, the male students (38.7%) who had no specific idea outnumbered the female students (26.5%) who did. The female students(57.4%) who felt no pain during scaling outnumbered the male students(55.9%) who did. Gender made a significant difference to their responses. (x2=6.38, p<.05). 3. Concerning the use of oral hygiene supplies, most of the students who represented 72.2 percent had never flossed their teeth, and as many as 86.3 percent had never used a tongue cleaner. But the gaps between them and the others were not statistically significant.

In order to obtain more clear x-ray images, an antiscatter grid, which can absorb the scattered rays, is employed. The artifacts due to the grid pattern are, however, visible, and thus should be removed by employing digital filters. For over exposed x-ray images, the strength of the grid artifacts are too big to be removed if fixed-bandwidth filters are employed. In this paper, for an efficient grid artifact reduction, we analyze the characteristics of the image formation and image saturation as the x-ray exposure increases. We can notice that, as the saturation begins to occur, the maximum of the artifact component decreases contrary to increasing exposure amount. We propose then an adaptive filtering algorithm for reduction of the grid artifacts, where the significant-signal bandwidth of the artifact component is used to choose appropriate filter bandwidths. The proposed algorithm is tested for real x-ray digital images, and can efficiently remove the grid artifacts.

Global interests for construction of 3 dimensional spatial information has risen due to development of measurement sensors and data processing technologies. In spite of criticism for the violation of personal privacy, CCTV cameras equipped in outdoor public space of urban area are used as a fundamental sensor for traffic management, crime prevention or hazard monitoring. For safety guarantee in urban environment and disaster prevention, a surveillance system integrating pre-constructed 3 dimensional spatial information with CCTV data or video sequence is needed for monitoring and observing emergent situation interactively in real time. In this study, we proposed applicability of the prototype system for web visualization based on X3D, an international standard of real time web visualization, by integrating 3 dimensional spatial information with video sequence.

좁은지역에 대한 지형정보의 획득은 저고도 UAV시스템을 이용하는 것이 경제적이다. 최근 자동항법 UAV의 발전은 저고도 고해상도 영상을 원하는 주기로 얻을 수 있어 많은 분야에 응용하고 있다. 이러한 UAV시스템은 지상관제센터와 비행체 간의 긴밀한 통신이 이루어져야 하며 촬영 중 영상의 획득 여부를 모니터링할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 NASA가 개발한 Worldwind를 커스터마이징하여 실시간 영상획득 모니터링 s/w를 개발하였다. 또한 개발시스템을 이용하여 정사영상 모자익을 실시하였으며 이에대한 정확도 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 검사점에 대해 정사모자익영상의 수평위치 정확도를 분석한 결과 X좌표에서 평균 0.181m, Y좌표에서 평균 0.203m의 편차를 보임으로써 1:1,000~5,000축척의 수치지도제작이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

관상동맥 폐색증 환자들에 대해서 시술되는 stent 삽입 시술이나 관상동맥 우회로 시술 중에는 X-ray 등의 조영 영상이 시술의 기준이 되고 있다. 따라서 조영 영상에서 혈관을 빠르게 인식하는 것은 정확하고 효과적인 시술의 필수 조건이다. 이러한 시술 중 빠르고 정확한 혈관 인식을 위하여 본 논문에서는 심혈관 조영 영상으로부터 관상동맥의 형태를 자동적으로 영상분할하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 우선 조영 영상에서 혈관을 분명하게 인식하기 위해서는 잡음을 제거하기 위한 필터링이 필요한 데, Anisotropic diffusion을 이용한 필터링은 이미지 내 물체의 경계선을 보존하고, 영역 내의 잡음을 제거하는 데 효과적이다. 정확한 영상분할을 수행하기 위해서는 대부분의 경우 사용자가 영상 내에 관심 영역을 지정하는 인터렉션이 필요하지만 이는 사용자에게 불편함을 줄 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 번거로움을 최소화하고, 정확한 결과를 유도하기 위해서 자동 씨드 영역 추출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 따라서 조영 영상에 필터링을 적용한 후 추출된 씨드 영역과 추출된 에지와 Adaptive region-growing을 복합적으로 사용하는 영상분할을 수행하게 되면 보다 효과적인 관상동맥 영상 분할의 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Modern file systems have journaling mechanism to maintain their stored state consistently even under unexpected system crashes or disasters. However, the journaling makes I/O throughput lower. This performance degradation comes from the ordering mechanism between the data buffer and metadata buffer and two-staged buffer writing. Especially, if the data buffer and metadata buffer are journalled at the same time, then it incurs significant performance degradation due to the two-staged writing. That shows the trade-off relation-ship between I/O performance and system reliability. In this paper, we propose RFJ: a reliable and fast jour-naling mechanism to deal with this trade-off relationship. We propose an ordering enforced writeback journaling mode and selective journaling mechanism. The Ordering enforced writeback journaling mode achieves low I/O latency and the selective journaling mechanism achieves high reliability. The experimental result shows that the performance of RFJ is almost 5x faster than the journal mode of Ext3 file system but it still supports the same reliability with the journal mode.

X-ray lithography mask with SiC membrane and Ta absorber patterns has been fabricated using ECR plasma CVD, d.c. magnetron sputtering, and ECR plasma etching. The stress of stoichiometric SiC film was adjusted by rapid thermal annealing under $N_2$, ambient. Adjusting the working pressure during sputtering process resulted in a near-zero residual stress, reasonable density, and smooth surface morphology of Ta film. Cl-based plasma showed a good etching characteristics of Ta, and two-step etching process was implemented to suppress microloading effect fur sub-quarter $\mu\textrm{m}$ patterning.

We studied the electro-optical characteristic of vertical alignment liquid crystal display(VA-LCD) on the $SiO_x$ thin film deposited $45^{\circ}$ oblique by rf magnetic sputtering system. LC alignment characteristic showed homeotropic alignment, and pretilt angle was about $90^{\circ}$. A uniform liquid crystal alignment effect on the $SiO_x$ thin film was achieved and the electro-optical characteristic of the $SiO_x$ thin film deposited $45^{\circ}$ oblique by rf magnetic sputtering system was excellent.
