휘도 신호만을 이용한 흑백 TV 에서부터 오늘날의 디지털 HDTV 에 이르기까지의 TV 시스템에서 사용되어 온 영상 신호의 생성, 전송 및 재생 방법은 HDTV, 디지털 시네마 등 영상 시스템의 획기적인 발전과 더불어, 보다 고선명, 고화질을 요구하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 TV 시스템에서의 영상재생 결과와, constant luminance방법에 의한 영상 재생 결과를 관찰자 평가 실험을 통해 비교 분석한 데이터를 제시한다.

It is difficult to settle the well-designed local terminology for imaging report in the hospital information system (HIS). One of the major reasons is the local terminology with poor contents have been used in the hospital. Thus, we mapped the locally used terms in nuclear medicine imaging report to the SNOMED-CT, which had been widely used in the electronic medical record system, for implementation of hospital information system. Preliminary construction of terminology dictionary was done by mapping of local terms to SNOMED-CT and LexCare Suite. Further study may be warranted.

Imaging spectrometry or hyperspectral imaging is a recent development that makes possible quantitative and qualitative measurement for food quality and safety. This paper presents the research results that a hyperspectral imaging system can be used effectively for detecting fecal (from duodenum, cecum, and colon) and ingesta contamination on poultry carcasses from the different feed meals (wheat, mile, and corn with soybean) for poultry safety inspection. A hyperspectral imaging system has been developed and tested for the identification of fecal and ingesta surface contamination on poultry carcasses. Hypercube image data including both spectral and spatial domains between 430 and 900 nm were acquired from poultry carcasses with fecal and ingesta contamination. A transportable hyperspectral imaging system including fiber optically fabricated line lights, motorized lens control for line scans, and hypercube image data from contaminated carcasses with different feeds are presented. Calibration method of a hyperspectral imaging system is demonstrated using different lighting sources and reflectance panels. Principal Component and Minimum Noise Fraction transformations will be discussed to characterize hyperspectral images and further image processing algorithms such as image band ratio of dual-wavelength images and its histogram stretching with thresholding process will be demonstrated to identify fecal and ingesta materials on poultry carcasses. This algorithm could be further applied for real-time classification of fecal and ingesta contamination on poultry carcasses in the poultry processing line.

In this paper, we designed and tested of the passive millimeter-wave imaging system in near range. The proposed passive millimeter-wave imaging system consists two parts. The first part is a 94 GHz band millimeter imaging sensor which is coupled to an antenna, two LNAs, and a diode detector. The second part is a control unit. The control unit is consists of the 2-axes Cartesian robot, the data acquisition (DAQ), and imaging program. The 2-axes Cartesian robot should be able to scan a 2-D image of the metalic tools, IC card and plastic objects, with a raster scanning method. The passive millimeter-wave image of $20{\times}20$ pixels is acquired within less than 60s, and is immediately displayed and stored for post processing.In order to improve the image quality, interpolation methods are applied.

This review provides a comprehensive overview of brain imaging studies of the brain-gut interaction in functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). Functional neuroimaging studies during gut stimulation have shown enhanced brain responses in regions related to sensory processing of the homeostatic condition of the gut (homeostatic afferent) and responses to salience stimuli (salience network), as well as increased and decreased brain activity in the emotional response areas and reduced activation in areas associated with the top-down modulation of visceral afferent signals. Altered central regulation of the endocrine and autonomic nervous responses, the key mediators of the brain-gut axis, has been demonstrated. Studies using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging reported abnormal local and global connectivity in the areas related to pain processing and the default mode network (a physiological baseline of brain activity at rest associated with self-awareness and memory) in FGIDs. Structural imaging with brain morphometry and diffusion imaging demonstrated altered gray- and white-matter structures in areas that also showed changes in functional imaging studies, although this requires replication. Molecular imaging by magnetic resonance spectroscopy and positron emission tomography in FGIDs remains relatively sparse. Progress using analytical methods such as machine learning algorithms may shift neuroimaging studies from brain mapping to predicting clinical outcomes. Because several factors contribute to the pathophysiology of FGIDs and because its population is quite heterogeneous, a new model is needed in future studies to assess the importance of the factors and brain functions that are responsible for an optimal homeostatic state.

This paper proposes an ultrasound vessel-pattern imaging algorithm with low computational complexity. The proposed imaging algorithm reconstructs blood-vessel patterns by only detecting blood flow, and can be applied to a real-time signal processing hardware that extracts an ultrasonic finger-vessel pattern. Unlike a blood-flow imaging mode of typical ultrasound medical imaging device, the proposed imaging algorithm only reconstructs a presence of blood flow as an image. That is, since the proposed algorithm does not use an I/Q demodulation and detects a presence of blood flow by accumulating an absolute value of the clutter-filter output, a structure of the algorithm is relatively simple. To verify a complexity of the proposed algorithm, a simulation model for finger vessel was implemented using Field-II program. Through the behavioral simulation, it was confirmed that the processing time of the proposed algorithm is around 54 times less than that of the typical color-flow mode. Considering the required main building blocks and the amount of computation, the proposed algorithm is simple to implement in hardware such as an FPGA and an ASIC.

Most of past image processing systems have been designed independent of image contents. Now, evolving computation power is making the "image-dependent" elegant algorithms possible to get the better image renditions on display. This paper introduces our recent approaches to quality and pleasant imaging based on image-dependent. Three typical approaches to comfortable "Sharpness", "Lightness", and "Color" renditions on display image arc presented.

In this paper, we present a tiled display system for tangible meeting. We built our system as a distributed system and use GPU based warping and image blending technique for real-time processing. For efficiency, we update specific area only, where the remote user exist, in real-time and blended it with static panoramic image of remote site.

Integral imaging is one of the three-dimensional(3D) display methods, which is an autostereoscopic method. The integral imaging system can provide volumetric 3D image which has both vertical and horizontal parallaxes. The elemental image which is obtained in the pickup process by lens array has the 3D information of the object and can be used for the depth perception and the 3D correlation. Moreover, the elemental image which represents a cyber-space can be generated by computer process.

Three-dimensional(3D) integral imaging system which can be used in a virtual reality system is proposed. The proposed system uses a new image mapping algorithm which can achieve the real time processing, which is indispensable for the virtual reality system. 3D images generated by the advanced graphic software such as OpenGL API can be directly used without complex adaptation. Therefore, the computer-generated integral imaging system using the proposed mapping algorithm can be successfully applied to virtual reality.
