objective to ascertain whether the concept of the therapeutic side is associated with changes in the blind sport mapping that represents the brain function. design Physiological blind spot maps were used as an integer of brain activity before and after acupuncture needling on the meridian point Hapkok(合谷) and Techung(太衝) in the unilateral side decided by double-blind controlled study(20 subjects). setting outpatient clinic participants: adult volunteers intervention twenty subjects were divided into two comparative groups and underwent specific acupuncture therapy on the unilateral side. Blinded examiners obtained reproducible pre and post-acupuncture cortical maps, which were subjected to statistical analysis. main outcome measures Brain activity was demonstrated by reproducible circumferential measurements of cortical hemispheric blind spot maps before and after acupuncture on the unilateral side. in case of acupuncture needling on the ipsilateral side of an enlarged side of bilnd spot, there were reduction of blind spot in 7 cases of 10 subjects, and enlargement in 3 cases. in case of acupuncture needling on the contralateral side of the enlarged side of blind spot, there were enlargement of blind spot in 6 cases of 10 subjects, and reduction in 4 cases. results the significant changes in the blind spots before and after acupuncture were observed Acupuncture needlings on the ipsilateral or contralateral side of an enlarged cortical map were associated with the concept of the therapeutic side traditionally accepted in the oriental medical society. Acupuncture needling on the ipsilateral side of an enlarged blind spot map is associated with the reduction of map, and increaed contralateral cortical activity. Acupuncture needling on the side opposite an enlarged blind spot map is associated with the enlargement of map, and decreased cortical activity. conclusion Reproducible maps of cortical responses can be used to measure the neurological consequences of acupuncture needling. Acupuncture can affect the somatic sensory informations that reach to the contralateral thalamus, and so affect thalamic integration. we found that acupuncture therapy may be associated with an increase or a decrease in brain function depending on the side of acupuncture needling. thus, the traditional concept of the contralateral therapeutic theory in acupuncture approach has the clinical significance in the view of brain function.

본 연구는 두 정신물리학 실험을 통하여 상향적(bottom-up) 정보와 하향적(top-down) 정보가 맹점 채우기에 미치는 영향을 검증하였다. 두 실험 모두에서 맹점에 채워질 가능성이 동일한 두 자극을 맹점에 제시하였다. 이 두 자극이 맹점을 채우기 위해 경쟁할 때, 그 중 한 자극의 깊이 맥락을 조작하여 상향적 요인과 하향적 요인의 상호작용을 살펴보았다. 깊이 맥락은 맹점에 채워지는 자극들과 맹점 주변부 자극들 간의 상대적인 깊이로 정의되었으며, 실험 참가자들은 맹점에서 채워진 표적의 지각적 깊이를 보고하였다. 실험 결과, 맹점이 상향적 정보만 가진 자극보다 하향적 정보인 깊이 맥락이 첨가된 자극으로 대부분 채워졌다는 사실을 발견하였다. 통제 실험을 통하여 이러한 깊이 지각은 맹점이 위치한 주변시의 해상력 때문은 아닌 것으로 밝혀졌다. 위와 같은 실험 결과는 깊이 맥락정보와 같은 하향 처리 과정도 맹점 채워 넣기 과정에 영향을 미친다는 것을 시사한다.

Objective : To ascertain whether the concept of the treatment side is associated with changes in the blind spot mapping that represents the brain function. Methods : Among the outpatients who visited to Department of Acupuncture & Moxibustion, National Medical Center from March 2002 to October 2002, we selected 40 clinical trial volunteers that showed right side physiological blind spot more enlarged than left, and underwent the examinations of Department of Opthalmology, National Medical Center for ruling out the pathological conditions. Physiological blind spot maps were used as an integer of brain activity before and after electroacupuncture application on the unilateral ST36 meridian point by dividing 40 subjects into two comparative groups for double-blind controlled study. Results: The significant changes in the blind spots were observed. Electroacupuncture application on the ipsilateral or contralateral ST36 of an enlargement cortical map were associated with the concept of determining the treatment side. In the case of electroacupuncture application on the ipsilateral side of an enlarged blind spot, there were decrease of $4.11{\pm}8.56cm$(17.3%) in blind spot perimetry length(p < 0.05). In the case of contralateral side, there were increase of $3.19{\pm}5.40cm$(13.7%) in blind spot perimetry length(p<0.05). The Differences were statistically significant(p<0.05). Conclusions: We found that eletroacupuncture application was associated with an increase or decrease in the brain function in the view of blind spot changes depending on the treatment side. These results suggest that the traditional acupuncture therapeutic strategy with determining the treatment side has clinical significance in the view of the brain function.

The latest vehicle yields a superior safety and reduction of driving burden by monitoring the driving state of vehicle and its environment with various sensors. To detect other vehicles and objects of the rear left and right-side blind spot area of driver, provide the information about a existence of objects inside the blind spot, and give a signal to avoid collision, this study proposes the intelligent outside rear-view mirror system. This task has substantially complicated several factors. For example, the size, geometry and features of the various vehicles which might enter the monitored zone is varied widely and therefore present various reflective characteristics. This study proposes the optimal specification and configuration of optical system and IR array sensor of blind spot detection system, and shows the results of the performance evaluation of developed system.

The blind spot is an area where drivers visibility does not reach. When drivers change a lane to adjacent lane, they need to give an attention because of the blind spot. If drivers try to change lane without notice of vehicle approaching in the blind spot, it causes a reason to have a car accident. This paper proposes a night-time blind spot vehicle detection using cameras. At nighttime, head-lights are used as characteristics to detect vehicles. Candidates of headlight are selected by high luminance feature and then shape filter and kalman filter are employed to remove other noisy blobs having similar luminance to head-lights. In addition, vehicle position is estimated from detected head-light, using virtual center line represented by approximated the first order linear equation. Experiments show that proposed method has relatively high detection porformance in clear weather independent to the road types, but has not sufficient performance in rainy weather because of various ground reflectors.

Since SPOT4 satellite contained VEGETATION 1 sensor launched, the noise in VEGETATION data was occasionally arisen a difficulty for the data traitement. Blind line noise types were studied in VEGETATION-l short wave infrared channel(SWIR). In order to provide a precis product, the procedure for removing this noise is strongly recommended. In the case that the blind values are clearly distinguished from contamination-free values a simple threshold method was applied, while a changeable threshold method was used for the blind value mixed with contamination-free values. New algorithm presented in this study is consists of two method for each type of SWIR blind. After removing blind line, there were again some residual pixels of blind, because the threshold is not determinated sufficiently low. Lower threshold could remove the blind line as well as the contamination-free pixels. Nevertheless, the results showed a good qualitative improvement as compared with other algorithm.

Ubiquitous computing is a novel paradigm that is rapidly gaining in the scenario of wireless communications and telecommunications for realizing smart world. As rapid development of sensor technology, smart sensor system becomes more popular in automobile or vehicle. In this study, a new vehicle detection mechanism in real-time for blind spot area is proposed based on imaging sensors. To determine the position of other vehicles on the road is important for operation of driver assistance systems (DASs) to increase driving safety. As the result, blind spot detection of vehicles is addressed using an automobile detection algorithm for blind spots. The proposed vehicle verification utilizes the height and angle of a rear-looking vehicle mounted camera. Candidate vehicle information is extracted using adaptive shadow detection based on brightness values of an image of a vehicle area. The vehicle is verified using a training set with Haar-like features of candidate vehicles. Using these processes, moving vehicles can be detected in blind spots. The detection ratio of true vehicles was 91.1% in blind spots based on various experimental results.

In this paper, controlling shape of optical fiber tip for endoscope was investigated for eliminating blind spot. The blind spot of endoscope is generated by divergence angle of optical fiber, so it is easy to generate blind spot when tightly focusing. In order to eliminate this region, fiber tip is necessary to be controlled as convex or concave. Illumination simulation of convex and concave type of fiber tip in the endoscope was in progress, so the distance of non- blind region was investigated in each case. As well as the simulation, the tip was fabricated as concave shape by UV laser machining. Then the beam radiation was measured to observe the blind region. The result showed that controlling the fiber tip as convex or concave shape makes the narrow blind region of illumination in endoscope.

본 논문에서는 주행 중 사각지역내의 차량을 빠르고 정확하게 실시간으로 검출하는 측후방 차량 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 알고리즘은 실시간 처리를 위해 MCT(Modified Census Transformation) 특징벡터를 기반으로 에이다부스트 학습을 통해 생성되는 캐스케이드 분류기를 사용한다. MCT 분류기는 검출윈도우가 작을수록 처리속도가 빠르고, 검출윈도우가 클수록 정확도가 증가한다. 제안 알고리즘은 이러한 특징을 이용하여 검출윈도우가 작은 분류기로 차량후보를 빠르게 생성한 후 보다 큰 사이즈의 검출윈도우를 가지는 분류기로 생성된 차량후보에 대해 정확하게 차량인지 검증한다. 또한, 차량분류기와 바퀴분류기를 동시에 사용하여 사각지역내로 진입하는 차량과 사각지역내의 인접차량을 효과적으로 검출한다.

최근 차량 충돌 방지를 위한 다양한 기술이 상용화되고 있다. FMCW 기반의 레이더 시스템은 구현의 용이성으로 많은 상용차에서 전면 충돌 방지 시스템에 적용되고 있다. 측면 충돌 방지를 위한 BSD(Blind Spot Detection)와 차선변경 보조 시스템(LCA, Lane Change Assistant system)에서는 전방 레이더보다 인식거리가 줄어들고 갱신율이 낮아지므로 고속 FFT 등을 수행하는 신호처리부를 저가격으로 설계가 가능할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 TI사의 MCU인 F28335를 사용하여 근거리를 인식하는 신호처리부를 설계하였다. 이 MCU는 16채널 12bit ADC와 68KB RAM 및 512KB 플래시 메모리를 내장하고, 150MHz 부동소수점 연산을 지원하여 단일 칩으로 신호처리부의 구현이 가능하다. 구현된 시스템은 20m내외의 거리에 있는 장애물에 대하여 10Hz로 갱신이 가능하여 BSD를 위한 기본 기능이 확인되었다. 이러한 구현은 이전의 고가의 DSP나 FPGA를 사용하지 않고 15$이내의 단일 MCU와 간단한 아날로그 회로로 설계되어 저가격의 시스템으로 상용화가 가능할 것이다.
