본 논문에서는 현금인출기 사용자의 선글라스 및 마스크를 인식하는 시스템을 설명한다. 제안하는 시스템은 얼굴윤곽을 먼저 추출하고 이로부터 눈과 입의 위치를 추정한다. 마지막으로, 눈과 입 영역에 대해 각각 히스토그램 인덱싱 기법을 적용하여 선글라스 및 마스크를 인식한다. 눈이나 입 영역이 가려진 상태에서 얼굴윤곽 추출과 눈 및 입의 위치 추정을 위해 얼굴모양모델을 도입한다. 얼굴모양모델의 정합성능을 향상시키기 위해 2단계에 걸친 얼굴후보영역 검출을 도입하고 모델의 초기위치를 다변화하여 반복 정합을 실시한다. 배경모델에 기반한 얼굴후보영역 검출 방법의 성능을 보장하기 위해서 배경모델을 자동으로 갱신할 수 있도록 시스템을 구성한다. 실험에서는 연구실에서 획득한 영상에 대하여 시스템의 설정에 관한 실험을 제시하고 마스크 및 선글라스 인식 결과를 보인다.

본 논문에서는 SOPC 기반 NIOSII 임베디드 프로세서와 C2H 컴파일러를 적용하여 영상 감시 시스템을 구현하였다. 카메라의 영상 신호 출력, 영상처리, 시리얼 통신 및 네트워크 통신의 제어를 위해 C2H 컴파일러에 의한 IP를 구성하였고, SOPC 및 NIOS II 임베디드 프로세서에 기반한 각각의 IP를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있도록 구현하였다. 그리고, 보다 빠르고 환경에 강인한 이동 물체 검출을 위한 방법으로 배경영상을 갱신하는 알고리듬을 적응 가우시안 혼합 모델(AGMM)을 제안하였다. 그 결과 주간 및 야간에서도 이동 물체를 잘 검출할 수 있었다. 실험을 통해 제안된 AGMM 알고리듬이 적응 임계치법(ATM)과 가우시안 혼합모델(GMM)보다 이동하는 보행자 및 차량의 검출에서 우수함을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서 관심을 갖는 수중환경에서의 천이소음도 가청주파수 대역임에 착안하여 이동통신 시스템의 표준 음성부호화기인 EVRC의 전처리단을 이용하여 배경잡음 구간을 판별하고 이를 바탕으로 수중 천이신호를 탐지하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. EVRC 전처리 모듈에 프레임 단위의 입력신호가 들어가면 모듈로부터 잡음 구간을 결정하는 플래그, 각 채널의 에너지, 잡음이 제거된 신호, 입력신호의 에너지, 배경잡음의 에너지, 잡음이 제거된 신호의 에너지에 해당하는 파라미터 값을 얻게 된다. 잡음이 제거된 신호의 에너지를 배경잡음의 에너지로 정규화하고 이를 문턱값과 비교함으로써 천이신호를 검출할 수 있다. 또한 문턱 값은 잡음 구간에서 구한 이전 값을 이용해서 갱신된다. 실험결과를 통해 제안한 알고리즘이 백색 또는 유색잡음 하에서도 4% 미만의 오차를 보여주는 것을 검증한다.

Objective: The aim of this paper is to introduce the Directive 2002/44/EC on the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from vibration. Background: Human beings interact with machinery, and contact with vibration is commonplace. Unfortunately, continuous exposure to mechanical vibration can lead to physical injury. And standards are needed for identifying those at risk and for taking steps to mitigate the problem and reduce risk of injury. Method: The contents of the Directive were summarized and discussed, especially against its ISO counterparts. Results: The Directive deals with minimum safety and health prescriptions relative to workers' exposure to risks due to mechanical vibration. This directive specifies exposure limit values and action values. It also specifies employers' obligations with regard to determining and assessing risks, sets out the measures to be taken to reduce or avoid workers' exposure. Finally, it details how to make exposed workers aware of this issue. Conclusion: In spite of some limitations, it has recently been transcribed into all national laws of member States of European union. Application: The results of the paper might help to establish or update the domestic standards on vibration.

Background: This study was aimed to establish the systematic management methods of tar color additives used in Korea for drugs and quasi-drugs. Although tar color additives have been used in various areas, safety problems are continuously being reported by several studies. For that reason, major countries like US, Japan, Europe are trying to update the safety information of tar color additives and the related management methods, and Korea also need to complement them based on the updated information for their safer use. Method: This report includes the compared information of all legally used tar color additives of each country, such as color additive name, compound name and chemical abstracts service registry number. Conclusion: It is expected that these investigated results will be useful as the basic materials for proper management guidelines of tar color additives in Korea.

Although the incidence of gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma has been increasing worldwide, no standardized surgical strategy for its treatment has been established. This study aimed to provide an update on the surgical treatment of GEJ adenocarcinoma by reviewing previous reports and propose recommended surgical approaches. The Siewert classification is widely used for determining which surgical procedure is used, because previous studies have shown that the pattern of lymph node (LN) metastasis depends on tumor location. In terms of surgical approaches for GEJ adenocarcinoma, a consensus was reached based on two randomized controlled trials. Siewert types I and III are treated as esophageal cancer and gastric cancer, respectively. Although no consensus has been reached regarding the treatment of Siewert type II, several retrospective studies suggested that the optimal treatment strategy includes paraaortic LN dissection. Against this background, a Japanese nationwide prospective trial is being conducted to determine the proportion of LN metastasis in GEJ cancers and to identify the optimal extent of LN dissection in each type.

본 연구에서는 실제 야외 환경에서 얻어지는 영상열에서 차영상 기법을 이용하여 침입자를 감지하는 보안 시스템에서 필요한 참고영상 갱신 방안을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 선별적 참고영상 갱신방법의 영역판별 오류에 의한 영향을 미디언 필터링(Median Filtering)을 이용하여 최소화하였다. 먼저, 연속적으로 들어오는 입력영상과 참고영상의 차영상을 얻어 상향조정된 임계치를 이용하여 이동물체 영역이 제거된 선별적인 임시영상을 생성한다. 그리고 조명의 변화나 이동물체의 외곽에 반응하는 배경물체의 오류를 제거하기 위해 미디언 필터링을 수행함으로써 불규칙적으로 발생하는 밝기변화에 적응할 수 있게 한다. 제안된 방법을 실제 야외 상황에서 얻은 다양한 영상열에 적용한 결과 기존의 참고영상 갱신방법보다 주위 잡음과 무관한 참고영상을 생성한 수 있었다.

Objectives : The purpose of this review is to introduce the recent advance in allergic rhinitis and to provide help in establishing strategy and selection of drugs for Korean medical treatment of allergic rhinitis. Methods : We searched articles about allergic rhinitis comprehensively in PubMed, CNKI, JStage, KISTI. And in order to reflect clinical situation, we also reviewed some profession's writing for practitioners. Results : This review discussed allergic rhinitis's epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis. We found many standardized clinical practice guideline have been published in this field. And some guideline reflected accumulation of medical evidence on interventions in Korean medicine. It suggested that acupuncture, herbal medicine, herbal patch are useful to prevention and alleviate allergic symptoms. But some interventions have heterogeneity due to each nation's medical background. Conclusions : Acupuncture therapy is now recommended world widely for treating allergic rhinitis. But other interventions of Korean medicine are not well recognized in the same manner. We need more research to identify mechanism and rigorous clinical trials to clarify efficacy and safety of Korean medicine intervention.

Background: Our aim was to identify gaps and limitations in the current literature and to make recommendations for future research required to address these. Materials and Methods: We reviewed occupational exposures and related factors associated with the risk of prostate cancer between 2000 and 2012. These included chemical, ergonomic, physical or environmental, and psychosocial factors which have been reported by epidemiological studies across a range of industries. Results: The results are inconsistent from study to study and generally this is due to the reliance upon the retrospectivity of case-control studies and prevalence (ecological) studies. Exposure assessment bias is a recurring limitation of many of the studies in this review. Conclusions: We consider there is insufficient evidence to implicate prostate cancer risk for ergonomic, physical, environmental or psychosocial factors, but there is sufficient evidence to implicate toxic metals, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). More research is required to identify specific pesticides that may be associated with risk of prostate cancer.

Primary liver cancer is one of the most common cancers at the global level, accounting for half of all cancers in some undeveloped countries. This disease tends to occur in livers damaged through alcohol abuse, or chronic infection with hepatitis B and C, on a background of cirrhosis. Various cancer-causing substances are associated with primary liver cancer, including certain pesticides and such chemicals as vinyl chloride and arsenic. The strong association between HBV infection and liver cancer is well documented in epidemiological studies. It is generally acknowledged that the virus is involved through long term chronic infection, frequently associated with cirrhosis, suggesting a nonspecific mechanism triggered by the immune response. Chronic inflammation of liver, continuous cell death, abnormal cell growth, would increase the occurrence rate of genetic alterations and risk of disease. However, the statistics indicated that only about one fifth of HBV carries would develop HCC in lifetime, suggesting that individual variation in genome would also influence the susceptibility of HCC. The goal of this review is to highlight present level of knowledge on the role of viral infection and genetic variation in the development of liver cancer.
