Background and Purpose : Ceramic based infra-red Therapy has been effective on derma system. The purpose of this case was to know the effect of ceramic based infra-red therap therapy on atopic dematitis. Material and Methods Among initial 25 outpatients with atopic detmatitis who visited Kangnam KyungHee Oriental hospital from Mar. 2000 to Sep. 2002, we excluded 4 outpatients that quited treatment after 1st treatment. We treated ceramic based infra-red therapy, herb medication treatment and Acupuncture women patients. Ceramic based infra-red therapy using GI-2000 system was lighted to under for 30 minutes. SoPungSan(消風散) was one of the effective herb medication on atopic dermatitis in oriental. In acupuncture treatment. We activated Kokchi(LI11, 曲池), Choksamni(S36, 足三里) and inhibited Yanggye(LI5, 陽谿), Yanggok(SI5, 陽谷). Results and Conclusions Ceramic based infra-red therapy, herb medication treatment and acupuncture therapy showed usfull effect on atopic dermatitis.

In this study, the automatic tracking algorithm tracing a human face is proposed by using YCbCr color coordinated information and its thermal properties expressed in terms of thermal indexes in an infra-red image. The facial candidates are separately estimated in CbCr color and infra-red domain, respectively with applying the morphological image processing operations and the geometrical shape measures for fitting the elliptical features of a human face. The identification of a true face is accomplished by logical 'AND' operation between the refined image in CbCr color and infra-red domain.

The purpose of this study is to present an in-site evaluation method for building insulation performance using Infra-red camera. The research contents of this study are to evaluate validity and suitability of building insulation defect survey using Infra-red camera for apartment housing with temperature & heat flow pattern analyze method. By establishing the in-site evaluation method building insulation performance using infra-red camera, it is expected that 1) building envelope repair market will be activated by using developed method in ESCO and remodeling companies, 2) the method developed in this research will contribute to reduce national energy consumption by promoting old building insulation remodeling.

In this paper, we propose an super-resolution method that improves resolution by using DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) for low resolution infra-red images. In this method, DWT is performed in a manner that does not reduce the resolution of an image input through an infra-red camera to generate sub-bands of the same resolution (LH, HL, and HH) And the original infra-red image is used to perform an inverse-DWT to obtain an infra-red image with improved resolution. Experimental results show that the mean SSIM value of the proposed method is 0.989861, which is about 0.004 higher than that of the conventional Bi-linear and Bi-cubic filters.

Objectives : Ceramic based intra-red Therapy has been effective on dermatitis and immune system. The purpose of this study was to know the clinical effect of ceramic based infra-red therapy on Atopic Dermatitis(AD). Methods: For 3 months from Dec. 2003 to Feb. 2004, we treated ceramic based intra-red therapy to 21 outpatients with AD who visited Hana Oriental hospital. Ceramic based infra-red therapy using GI-2000 system was lighted to undressed outpatients for 15 minutes, three times a week. Results and Conclusions: Ceramic based intra-red therapy showed useful effect on AD, especially itching sign.

The number of allergic contact dermatitis patients is steadily increasing but a proper reliability treatment guide is not prepared in Oriental Medicine. Also, the number of clinical cases on allergic contact dermatitis is not sufficient in Oriental medicine. As such, the facial flushing of allergic contact dermatitis which has been improved by infra-red therapy is significant in its treatment purpose. We reported on 43-year old male patient with allergic contact dermatitis. We treated him with herbal concoction, acupuncture, infra-red therapy and cupping therapy. We have received a good result in this case by using the combination of infra-red therapy. We reached a conclusion that using infra-red therapy can improve the facial flushing of patient with allergic contact dermatitis. However, further research on the effect of infra-red therapy for these symptoms is desired.

In this paper, we report experimental investigations on measurement of adiabatic wall temperature on a flat 2-D plate of high-speed impinging jet made by circular-shape nozzle at steady state condition using infra-red camera. Experiments have been conducted for the Reynolds number of 187,000 according to the change of nozzle-to-plate distance. Dimensionless number, recovery factor, has been used to represent the measured adiabatic wall temperature. And we compared the result obtained by using infra-red camera with that obtained by using thermocouple.

Infra-red thermography was conducted to understand a heat transfer characteristic on a surface protruded to a supersonic flowfield. Surface temperature distribution was obtained under the constant heat flux condition with a infra-red camera and the convective heat transfer coefficient distribution was calculated. Finally, two dimensional distribution of heat transfer coefficient on a surface around a cylinder body was derived.

In this paper, we propose a method of visual information of original image by encrypting only partial data of infra-red image. In this method, the infra-red image is divided into R, G, and B channels, and the outline is searched for the three channel images. Then, an average value is calculated for each contour image, and a channel to be encrypted is selected. The wavelet transform is performed on the selected channel to encrypt only the LL subband in which the highest energy is concentrated. Experimental results show that the SSIM value is less than 0.09 in the case of the proposed encryption method.
