Dynamic infrared thermography (DIRT) has been used for the preoperative mapping of cutaneous perforators. This technique has shown a positive correlation with intraoperative findings. Our aim was to evaluate the accuracy of perforator mapping with DIRT and augmented reality using a portable projector. For this purpose, three volunteers had both of their anterolateral thighs assessed for the presence and location of cutaneous perforators using DIRT. The obtained image of these "hotspots" was projected back onto the thigh and the presence of Doppler signals within a 10-cm diameter from the midpoint between the lateral patella and the anterior superior iliac spine was assessed using a handheld Doppler device. Hotspots were identified in all six anterolateral thighs and were successfully projected onto the skin. The median number of perforators identified within the area of interest was 5 (range, 3-8) and the median time needed to identify them was 3.5 minutes (range, 3.3-4.0 minutes). Every hotspot was correlated to a Doppler sound signal. In conclusion, augmented reality can be a reliable method for transferring the location of perforators identified by DIRT onto the thigh, facilitating its assessment and yielding a reliable map of potential perforators for flap raising.

Background: Facial feminization surgery and malarplasty require information concerning facial features in the malar area. Such information varies as a function of sex and race. The objectives of this study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the location of malar prominence across sexes in the Southeast Asian population, and identify sex-specific differences in malar prominence using a combination of two-dimensional (2D) computed tomography (CT) and three-dimensional (3D) CT. Methods: The location of malar prominence was evaluated in 101 Thai adults, consisting of 52 men and 49 women. This study used both 2D CT and 3D CT to achieve greater accuracy, in which 2D CT was used to measure malar distance, malar summit width, facial width, and malar summitto-facial width ratio whereas 3D CT was used to evaluate the positional relationship between the zygomatic summit and four reference points of the zygoma. Results: The malar summit was positioned more laterally in males (p< 0.01) and was more projected in females (p= 0.01). The other 2D-parameters were wider in males. The ratio between the malar summit width and facial width showed similar results for both sexes. The vertical dimension did not show any statistically significant differences; however, a higher summit position was observed in males. Conclusion: The zygomatic summit is positioned more laterally in males and is more projected in females. However, the ratio was similar, which indicates that the male cranium is larger in size. Based on the results in this study, when facial feminization surgery or malarplasty is performed on a Southeast Asian patient, the malar bone should be reduced horizontally and moved forward for better outcomes.

본 연구에서는 앙상블 중규모기후모델 weather research and forecasting(WRF)를 이용하여 2045년부터 2054년까지 21세기 중반의 기후변화에 대한 우리나라 미래 풍력자원 지도를 제작하였고 월별, 시간대별 자원변화를 검토하였다. 분석결과, 한반도상에서 강한 몬순 순환으로 인해 뚜렷한 월별 시공간 변동성이 해륙풍에 의한 시간대별 변동성보다 컸다. 풍력자원이 큰 강풍지역은 월마다 지역마다 다르게 나타났다. 즉 겨울철 북서계절풍(여름철 남서계절풍)이 주풍일 때 각각 강원산간과 해상 그리고 남서해안에서 자원이 많을 것으로 전망되었다. 최대풍과 최소풍은 1월, 9월에 각각 나타날 것으로 전망되었고, 시간대별로 내륙과 산간은 일중편차가 컸지만 연안지역은 편차가 작을 것으로 전망되었다. 이는 현재기후에 대한 기존분석결과와는 다소 차이가 있는 것으로, 이 연구에서 생산된 미래 풍력자원 지도는 향후 기후 변화 가능성이 큰 지역의 시공간적 풍황을 감안하여 풍력단지 입지 선정 및 풍력운영을 위한 장기계획 마련에 있어서 유용한 자료가 되리라 기대된다.

본 논문에서는 캐릭터의 의견을 고려한 카메라의 파라미터를 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. 기본적인 아이디어는 캐릭터의 각각의 링크가 화면상의 평면에 투영되었을 때의 움직임을 면적으로 계산하여 이를 활용하는 것이다. 우리는 이러한 면적을 '모션 면적'이라고 정의하였다. 모션 면적을 이용하면 실시간 혹은 오프라인 상에서 캐릭터의 모션에 대한 적절한 카메라 경로 혹은 고정된 카메라의 위치를 결정할 수 있다. 우리는 실험을 통해서 제안하는 방법으로 만들어진 카메라 경로가 부드럽게 움직임과 동시에 캐릭터의 모션을 보다 역동적으로 보이게끔 한다는 사실을 관측하였다. 또한 제안하는 방법은 카메라의 시선이 장애물과 충돌하지 않도록 하는 제어 기법과 쉽게 합쳐져서 사용될 수 있다. 우리는 또한 제안하는 방법이 역동적으로 움직이는 캐릭터를 포함하는 장면에서의 시각적 품질을 측정하늘 도구로써 다른 일반적인 카메라 제어 기법과 함께 쓰일 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

In recent years, Korean population aged 65 and over has grown faster(7.2% in 2000, 14.4% projected in 2018 and 20.0% in 2026) than the other age groups and average life expectancy has increased from 65.8 years in 1980 to 75.9 years in 2000. The Aging Simulation Center(ASC) was built for people to give educational chance for further understanding of the elderly and the environment for the aged. People are able to recognize the changes including hearing loss, vision changes, and changes in the ability to touch and move after experiencing the simulated daily life of older persons. In general, ASC is composed of residential setting area and exhibition area of daily commodities for the elderly and care person. Currently, there are four ASCs in Korea. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the characteristics of space design and design elements of ASCs and to suggest design implementation for better residential environment for the elderly. For the research purpose, design characteristics such as floor plans and spatial design elements of three ASCs were analyzed and compared. As a whole, space design of three ASCs was almost same without distinguished characteristics. The major finding of this study indicates that the ASC is considerably helpful environment to understand aging. However, some of design elements such as lighting should be supplemented for safety issue. It is recommended for future design of ASC to include exterior space including outdoor stairs, paths and roads and so on. In addition, reception and preparation area should be arranged with universally designed furniture.

Global warming and heat island make the outdoor air temperature ascend. Tall office buildings are covered with glass window facades as a design aspect and the portion of window area to facade area is increasing. Hence, cooling load for solar radiation passing through glass window is rising. Cooling air to a certain room is supplied equally despite the face of the room in most office buildings. Especially, the west part of the office cannot maintain the required temperature that occupant needs because of the solar heat coming through windows.?In this study, we projected the water spray system to reduce the solar heat transfer and to reflect the solar ray through windows. We perform the experiments to evaluate the performance of the solar heat protection devices. We measured the room temperature of two separated office rooms for solar heat control devices. The investigation's results show that the water spray system is sufficient to the coated glass and the venetian blinds for the decrease of the solar heat inflow.

Purpose : this study was to project demand of home nursing care in Korea for contributing toward the distribution of home nursing care resource. Method : demand of home nursing care is projected according to income level and needed service level of each person. in addition, demand sufficiency of home nursing care is taken by estimating for supply level available. Result : home nursing care service is scarecely provided to people who belong to second area, that is, only $1.6{\sim}2.3%$ out of them are provided and also, supply system comes short of meeting demand of the other people(who belong to one, third area). Conclusion : therefore, for proper provision of home nursing care, different supply system and policy direction for establishment and expansion of home nursing care is to be developed.

We present a robust power transmission lines detection method based on vanishing point estimation. Vanishing point estimation can be helpful to detect power transmission lines because parallel lines converge on the vanishing point in a projected 2D image. However, it is not easy to estimate the vanishing point correctly in an image with complex background. Thus, we first propose a vanishing point estimation method on power transmission lines by using a probabilistic voting procedure based on intersection points of line segments. In images obtained by our system, power transmission lines are located in a fan-shaped area centered on this estimated vanishing point, and therefore we select the line segments that converge to the estimated vanishing point as candidate line segments for power transmission lines only in this fan-shaped area. Finally, we detect the power transmission lines from these candidate line segments. Experimental results show that the proposed method is robust to noise and efficient to detect power transmission lines.

Automatic vehicle detection is a very important function for autonomous vehicles. Conventional vehicle detection approaches are based on visible-light images obtained from cameras mounted on a vehicle in the daytime. However, unlike daytime, a visible-light image is generally dark at night, and the contrast is low, which makes it difficult to recognize a vehicle. As a feature point that can be used even in the low light conditions of nighttime, the rear lamp is virtually unique. However, conventional rear lamp-based detection methods seldom cope with atypical lamps, such as LED lamps, or flashing turn signals. In this paper, we detect atypical lamps by blurring the lamp area with a low pass filter (LPF) to make out the lamp shape. We also propose to detect flickering of the turn signal lamp in a manner such that the lamp area is vertically projected, and the maximum difference of two paired lamps is examined. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has a higher F-measure value of 0.24 than the conventional lamp pairing-based detection methods, on average. In addition, the proposed algorithm shows a fast processing time of 6.4 ms per frame, which verifies real-time performance of the proposed algorithm.

Three cattle, a sheep and a goat were slaughtered to determine the distribution of digesta particles and mean size of digesta particles. Aliquot samples of digesta in the diverse sites of the digestive tracts were fractionated by a wet sieving technique. Fractionated particles were analyzed by the magnetic grid analyzer system constructed by authors. Results showed that the proportion of particles in digesta was similar among the omasum, abomasums cecum, colon and rectum, but that for the reticulo-ruminal digesta was different from the others. The pattern of the mass base frequency distribution of particles was also similar in the post-ruminal digesta. Average Heywood's diameter (the diameter equivalent to that of a circle with equal area to a projected area of a given particle) was about 1.2 mm in the reticulo-ruminal digesta and decreased to 0.65 mm for cattle or to about 0.35 mm for sheep and goat in the omasal digesta. Average Heywood's diameter was about the same in the post-ruminal digesta. It is concluded that mean particle size and particle distribution in digesta of the rectum or feces reflect those in digesta of the omasum.
