Generally, we can't acquire clear boundary or area from an image having obscure boundary like allergy image by using Sobel or Lapalace operator. Also, when the image not uniform in some part of a image in brightness, there are difficulties to use the global operator such as histogram, for the contour line doesn't have the same grey level. In this paper, we will propose an algorithm to improve those difficulties. The main idea of the algorithm is that we divide the image into many rectangular parts like a chess board, calculate the average of each part, and decide the local threshold for each pixel on the calculated value. In experiment, we can get the contour and area by this algorithm which is much like to the contour and area measured by a doctor. Also, This algorithm has many advantages such as short processing time and little influences of noises and can be used in the robot vision, etc..

To determine the utility of spiral computed tomography(CT) in the evaluation of carotid artery stenosis, spiral CT images of 10 patients were compared with both ones of conventional angiography and magnetic resonance(MR) angiography. The severeness of stenosis was determined for each Internal carotid artery on the basis of arterial narrowness : mild stenosis : 40 % or less, moderate stenosis = $40{\sim}70%$, severe stenosis = greater than 70 % of arterial narrowness. The short examination and clear depiction of the arterial lumen In areas of complex or low flow make CT angiography attractive alternative to MR angiography. Spiral CT angiography shows normal and abnormal carotid anatomy well when compared with conventional anglography.

We determined the warp parameters of 192 warped galaxies which are selected from 340 edge-on galaxies using color images as well as r-band isophotal maps. We derive the local background density (${\Sigma}_n$) to examine the dependence of the warp amplitudes on the galaxy environment. We find a clear trend that strongly warped galaxies are likely to be found in high density regions where tidal interactions are supposed to be frequent. However, the correlation between ${\alpha}_{\omega}$ and ${\Sigma}_n$ is too weak for weakly warped galaxies (${\alpha}_{\omega}$ < $4^{\circ}$) and the cumulative distributions of weakly warped galaxies are not significantly different from those of galaxies with no detectable warps. This suggests that tidal interactions do not play a decisive role in the formation of weak warps.

An efficient and robust neural network-based scheme is introduced in this paper to perform automatic cloud detection. Unlike many existing cloud detection schemes which use thresholding and statistical methods, we used the artificial neural network methods, the multi-layer perceptrons (MLP) with back-propagation algorithm and radial basis function (RBF) networks for cloud detection from Geostationary satellite images. We have used a simple scene (a mixed scene containing only cloud and clear sky). The main results show that the neural networks are able to handle complex atmospheric and meteorological phenomena. The experimental results show that two methods performed well, obtaining a classification accuracy reaching over 90 percent. Moreover, the RBF model is the most effective method for the cloud classification.

Extracellular biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles with various shapes using the rice bacterial blight bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae BXO8 is reported. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). Based on the evidence of HR-TEM, the synthesized particles were found to be spherical, with anisotropic structures such as triangles and rods, with an average size of 14.86 nm. The crystalline nature of silver nanoparticles was evident from the bright circular spots in the SAED pattern, clear lattice fringes in the high-resolution TEM images, and peaks in the XRD pattern. The FTIR spectrum showed that biomolecules containing amide and carboxylate groups are involved in the reduction and stabilization of the silver nanoparticles. Using such a biological method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles is a simple, viable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly process, which can be used in antimicrobial therapy.

The small number of fusion research that addresses fear-appeal and self-efficacy in the effectiveness of warning labels cause the label is not clear, then the purpose of the study is the first to examine the effect of the combination of the message. With the experimental method, a total of 240 participants were smokers consist of Indonesian university students in the age range 18-23 years. Data obtained then processed with ANOVA statistical methods and Test T. The results are consistent with previous studies that the visual warning labels more effective than the textual warning labels alone. Results also suggest that a warning label should be both visual and textual messages combined with self-efficacy. Limitations, this study does not differentiate among smokers and non-smokers, in addition to the images are used only one type of disease, so that the research needs to be done to distinguish these factors.

Endoscope image is the shape that a doctor sees inside of patient through endoscope. The characteristics of these images are much effected by the light source of endoscope, specially areas in short distance from a light have much light source and look clear, but areas in long distance from a light look dark relatively because of little light quantity. So we developed a new level adaptive image enhancer for the dark area in a endoscope image. The algorithm we made consists of three parts ; 1) Classification of histogram in segmented area 2) Smoothing and Adaptive Histogram Equalization 3) Adaptive Histogram Modification.

In this paper, we present a watermarking scheme based on the DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) and the ANN (Artificial Neural Network) to ensure the copyright protection of the digital images. The problem to embed watermark is not clear to select important coefficient in the watermarking. We used the RBF (Radial-Basis Function) to solve the problem. We didn't apply the whole wavelet coefficients, but applied to only the wavelet coefficients in the selected node. Using the ANN, although even the watermark casting process and watermark verification process are in public, nobody knows the location of embedding watermark except of authorized user. As the result, the watermark is good at the strength test-filtering, geometric transform and etc.

Computer simulation was carried out to develop the tracer composition of a high performance to be able to be observed by not only the naked eye but also the thermal imaging system attached to the weapon system. The results of computer simulation show that the optimum Mg content among the trace compositions is about 40% and the formulation consisted of Viton A has a higher flame temperature compared with that of chloride compound. But the only use of Viton A radiates a yellow light and the composition adding a chloride compound radiates the red light. The light intensity of the tracer composition involving Viton A is higher than that of chloride compound. The tracer composition involving Viton A shows more clear images in case of all tests.

Comprehensive measurements for velocity and temperature fields have been conducted. A Micro PIV 2-color LIF system have been setup to measure the buoyancy driven fields in a 1-mm heated channel with low Grashof-Prandtl numbers [$86]. Fluorescence microscopy is combined with an MPIV system to obtain enough intensity images and clear pictures from nano-scale fluorescence particles. The spatial resolution of the Micro PIV system is $75{\mu}m\;by\;67{\mu}m$ and error due to Brownian motion is estimated $1.05\%$. Temperature measurements have achieved the $4.7\;{\mu}m$ spatial resolution with relatively large data uncertainties the present experiment. The measurement uncertainties have been decreased down to less than ${\pm}1.0^{\circ}C$ when measurement resolution is equivalent to $76\;{\mu}m$. Measured velocity and temperature fields will be compared with numerical results to examine the feasibility of development as a diagnostic technique.
