Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the importance of the image distortion correction in the cross sectional area measurement for the iliopsas muscle, tensor fasciae latae muscle, gluteus maximus muscle and the knee extensor muscles, by using (magnetic resonance imaging) MRI. Methods: This study was performed using an open 0.32T MRI system. To estimate the image distortion, T1 images for an AAPM homogeneity/linearity phantom were acquired, and the region in which the maximum geometric distortion was less than or equal to the pixel size (1.6 mm) of the images, it was defined as the distortion correction-free region. The T2 images for a human subject's pelvis and thigh in normal positions were obtained. Then, after the regions of interest in the pelvis and thigh were moved into the distortion correction-free region, T2 images for the pelvis and thigh were scanned with the same imaging parameters used in the previous T2 imaging. The cross-sectional areas were measured in the two T2 images that were obtained in the normal position, and the distortion correction-free region, as well as the area error caused by geometric image distortion was calculated. Results: The geometrical distortion is gradually increased, from the magnet center to the outer region, in axial and coronal plane. The cross-sectional area error of gluteus maximus muscle and the knee extensors was as high as 9.27% and 3.16% in before and after distortion correction, respectively. Conclusion: The cross-sectional area of the muscles that suffered from the geometrical distortion is necessary to correct for the estimation of the intervention.

본 논문에서는 비트율-왜곡 (R-D) 이론을 사용하는 웨이브렛 기반 정지영상 부호화 방식을 위한 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안한다. 트리 구조에 기반한 기존의 부호화 방식은 비트율-왜곡 이론을 고려하지 않았기 때문에 감소된 부호화 성능을 지닌다. 본 논문에서는 계층적 트리 분할 (SPIHBT) 알고리즘에 비트율-왜곡 최적화 임베딩 (RDE) 연산을 적용한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 SPIHT의 리스트에 웨이브렛 계수의 부호화 순서를 위한 기준으로 비트율-왜곡 경사를 사용한다. 이를 위한 변형된 트리분할과 비트율-왜곡 최적화 리스트 스캔 방식을 설명한다. 제안된 방식은 기존의 SPIHT 및 RDE 알고리즘에 비해 향상된 비트율-화질 성능을 보인다.

This study examined the feasibility of using an automatic lens distortion correction (ALDC) camera as the payload for a photogrammetric unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system. First, lens distortion for the interior orientation (IO) parameters was estimated. Although previous studies have largely ignored decentering distortion, this study revealed that more than 50% of the distortion of the ALDC camera was caused by decentering distortion. Second, we compared the accuracy of bundle adjustment for camera calibration using three image types: raw imagery without the ALDC option; imagery corrected using lens profiles; and imagery with the ALDC option. The results of image triangulation, the digital terrain model (DTM), and the orthoimage using the IO parameters for the ALDC camera were similar to or slightly better than the results using self-calibration. These results confirm that the ALDC camera can be used in a photogrammetric UAV system using only self-calibration.

스캐너 대신 카메라를 이용하여 문서의 사본 영상을 촬영하면 촬영 각도에 따라 기하학적 왜곡이 발생하거나 그림자가 생길 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 카메라로 촬영한 문서 영상으로부터 왜곡을 보정하고 그림자 영향을 제거한 흑백 문서 영상 생성 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 카메라 렌즈의 방사 왜곡으로 인해 휘어진 테두리를 펴거나 촬영 각도에 따라 유입된 문서 외부 영역을 제거하기 위한 기하학적 보정을 위해 2차 미분 필터 기반의 문서 테두리 검출 방안을 마련하였다. 그리고 적응적 이진화 방법으로 그림자를 제거한 흑백 문서 영상을 생성하였다. 제안한 왜곡 보정 흑백 문서 영상 생성 알고리즘을 스마트 폰 카메라로 촬영한 문서 영상들을 대상으로 실험한 결과 우수한 처리 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper presents an accurate algorithm for geometric calibration of X-ray imaging system. Calibration is a very important process for improving an imaging system performance. There has been a lot of previous works using linear camera modeling technique, where lens distortion is neglected and/or center of distortion is assumed to be known. Geometrical distortion of image intensifier, however, is very large and its center of distortion should be calculated. This paper presents a new calibration method to estimate the intensifier position and orientation, scale factor, distortion coefficient, magnification factor, and center of distortion using the least square method. We investigate the properties of the algorithm by computer simulation. Simulation results show that the parameters can be estimated accurately using the proposed algorithm.

This paper proposes a new quantitative and objective image quality metric which is essential to verify the performance of block-based DCT image coding. The proposed metric considers not only global distortion of coded image such as spatial frequency sensitivity and channel masking using HVS based multi-channel model, but also structural distortions caused block-based coding. The experimental results show a strong correlation between proposed metric and subjective metric.

In computer vision system of modern industry precise measuring has lots of dfficulties because of measurement error due to distortion phenomenon. Among the difficulties, the distortion of edge is regraded as a dominent problem. which is caused by the vlurred image. The blurred image apperar when camera can not discriminate its precise focus. So. it is very important to decide focus of lens and to develop algorithm in order to correct distortion phenomenon. Thus. discrimination criteria obtained by image information of precise focus must be fixed in advance. The gray level histogram of image acquired from blurred edge tends to show a uniform distribution. Bimodal intensity histogram is related with condition of focus, and it is possible to find good condition of focus by using bimodal histogram of entropy.

Though the increment of using computer vision system in modern industry, there are lots of difficulties to measure precisely because of measurement error distortion phenomenon. Between these reasons, the distortion of edge is dominant reason which is occured by the blurred image. The blurred image is happened when camera can not discriminate its precise focus. To correct and generalize distortion phenomenon is imprrtant. Thus we must fix the discrimination criteria which is collected by image recognition of precise focus. The edge of image means discontinuous point of intensity, and the component of edge is discribed as high frequency component at special domain specturm of image. The good condition of focus means there are much high frequency energy in image. The method of discribing high frequency energy is gradient operater which determines the condition of focus.

In a scanning electron microscopy, image distortion is a critical issue and it is needed to be eliminated by some kinds of schemes. In this work, scanning frequency and scanning wave form are adjusted to have an improved image. The relationship between scan coil and its driver is investigated and appropriate frequency and wave form are suggested. It is proved that the selected frequency and wave form showed an enhanced image with less distortion, which were done by experiments. In addition, a noise elimination is addressed, providing improved image with a GROUND signal integration with the amplifier and the scan driver.
