PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to compare the spatio-temporal gait parameters between paretic and non-paretic limb while stepping over the different obstacle's heights in subjects with stroke. METHODS: Nine subjects with stroke were participated in this study. Subjects were asked to step over obstacles with a different height. 8 camera motion analysis system(Motion Analysis Corporation, Santa Rosa, USA) was used to measure spatio-temporal parameters. The two way repeated measurement ANOVA was used to compare spati-temporal gait parameters between paretic and non-paretic limbs while stepping over a different obstacle's height(0cm, 10cm, 20cm). RESULTS: Step width, velocity, single supoort time, and double support time were not different among obstacle's height(p>0.05) but stride length, step length, and cadence were significantly different(p>0.05). In stride length, cadence, and double support time, the interactions between obstacle's heights and limbs were not different(p>0.05) but it was significantly different in velocity, step length, and single support time(p<0.05). Velocity, stride length, cadence, and double support times were not different between paretic limb and non-paretic limb(p>0.05) but step length and single support times were significantly different between paretic limb and non-paretic limb(p<0.05). CONCLUSION: These results show that there are differences with spatio-temporal gait parameters among obstacle's heights and between paretic and non-paretic limb during obstacle crossing in subjects with stroke.

Multi-exposure high dynamic range (HDR) image reconstruction, the task of reconstructing an HDR image from multiple low dynamic range (LDR) images in a dynamic scene, often produces ghosting artifacts caused by camera motion and moving objects and also cannot deal with washed-out regions due to over or under-exposures. While there has been many deep-learning-based methods with motion estimation to alleviate these problems, they still have limitations for severely moving scenes. They also require large parameter counts, especially in the case of state-of-the-art methods that employ attention modules. To address these issues, we propose a frequency domain approach based on the idea that the transform domain coefficients inherently involve the global information from whole image pixels to cope with large motions. Specifically we adopt Residual Fast Fourier Transform (RFFT) blocks, which allows for global interactions of pixels. Moreover, we also employ Depthwise Overparametrized convolution (DO-conv) blocks, a convolution in which each input channel is convolved with its own 2D kernel, for faster convergence and performance gains. We call this LFFNet (Lightweight Frequency Fusion Network), and experiments on the benchmarks show reduced ghosting artifacts and improved performance up to 0.6dB tonemapped PSNR compared to recent state-of-the-art methods. Our architecture also requires fewer parameters and converges faster in training.

Carbon storage is one of the regulating ecosystem services provided by urban street trees. It is important that evaluating the economic value of ecosystem services accurately. The carbon storage of street trees was calculated by measuring the morphological parameter on the field. As the method is labor-intensive and time-consuming for the macro-scale research, remote sensing has been more widely used. The airborne Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) is used in obtaining the point clouds data of a densely planted area and extracting individual trees for the carbon storage estimation. However, the LiDAR has limitations such as high cost and complicated operations. In addition, trees change over time they need to be frequently. Therefore, Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry with unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a more suitable method for obtaining point clouds data. In this paper, a UAV loaded with a digital camera was employed to take oblique aerial images for generating point cloud of street trees. We extracted the diameter of breast height (DBH) from generated point cloud data to calculate the carbon storage. We compared DBH calculated from UAV data and measured data from the field in the selected area. The calculated DBH was used to estimate the carbon storage of street trees in the study area using a regression model. The results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of applying UAV imagery and SfM technique to the carbon storage estimation of street trees. The technique can contribute to efficiently building inventories of the carbon storage of street trees in urban areas.

The behavior of spray impinging on the inclined constant temperature flat plate was experimentally investigated. To clarify the wall effect of a high pressure DISI injector, a relative angle of the inclined wall to a spray axis was varied. Spray penetration along the wall was observed optically and it was compared with that of a Fan spray type and Swirl type spray. To evaluate various spray motion quantitatively, a spray path penetration which describe the development of a spray tip along the wall was newly introduced. To observe the structure of an impinging spray, it was visualized by a controlled stroboscope light and its visualized image was captured on an CCD camera. Using the digital image of impinging spray $H_x$ and $R_x$ was extracted to clarify the structure of impinging spray. The main parameter of the relative position of the wall was the inclined angle which was defined as the angle was varied from $0^{\circ}$ (vertical impingement) to $60^{\circ}$ at the same condition.

목적 : 기존의 fan-beam을 이용한 triple detector system에서 parallel collimator를 이용한 dual detector system으로 변화에 있어 acquisition과 processing 부분에서 발생할 수 있는 여러 가지의 변수를 phantom과 volunteer test를 통하여 실험해 보았다. 1 day protocol brain spect를 위하여 parallel collimator에서만 적용되는 OSEM2D와 OSEM3D의 비교 분석을 중점으로 하였고, 모든 연구는 동등한 검사시간으로 fan-beam을 사용하였던 Triple gamma camera보다 parallel을 사용한 dual camera에서 보다 우수한 영상을 구현하고자 하는 목표를 지향하였다. 실험재료 및 방법 : Normal time scan과 short time scan을 실시하였고, collimator 변화에 따른 영상의 변화도 알아보았다. Jaczack performance phantom과 Body IEC phantom을 이용하여 SNR과 contrast를 평가해보았고 Hoffman 3D phantom의 실험을 거쳐 volunteer test를 실시하였다. 결과 : Normal time과 short time의 비교에서는 FLASH3D를 제외한 OSEM2D와 FBP는 분석방법으로 부적합하였다. LEAP는 resolution과 sharpness 등 전체적인 영상의 질이 기존의 fan-beam을 이용한 영상과 유사하였고, LEUHR은 감도의 저하로 1 day protocol을 적용하기 위한 scan time에는 부적합하였다. 재구성법의 비교에서는 Flash-3D를 이용한 결과들이 기존의 FBP와 OSEM-2D보다 월등히 정확함을 정성적으로 확인하였다. 결론 : OSEM3D 재구성법으로 Dual detector system에서의 1 day protocol brain SPECT 시 Fan-beam보다 sensitivity가 떨어지는 parallel collimator의 단점을 보완하면서 영상의 질 또한 de-noising과 scatter correction, resolution recovery 등의 효과를 얻을 수 있으므로 1 day protocol brain SPECT의 검사의 적용에 유용할 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 이러한 half-time method라 제공되는 다양한 프로그램의 임상적용에 대한 광범 위한 연구가 현실적으로 필요하며 향후 계속적인 연구가 기대되는 바이다.
