A thinning algorithm -based image analysis technique was developed to measure corn root lengths. The root length measurement method was evaluated by comparing thread lengths measured by the image analysis system with actual thread lengths. The length measurement method accurately estimated actual thread lengths (less than 2% calculated error). Also, a rapid root length density measurement procedure, which utilizes the above root length measurement method, was developed to estimate corn root length density without washing the roots. Root length densities estimated from the cut soil surface of core samples taken from the field were paired with the root length densities determined from washed roots from the same soil core sample. A linear relationship between these two values was expected and was found. Eliminating the root washing procedure reduces the time required for measuring corn root length density substantially.

Patient with facial paralysis may develop opthalmic complications. Poor eyelid closure, ectopion and lagophthalmos place the patinet at increased risk for development of corneal problems such as epitheilail defects, stromal thinning, bacterial infection, and even perforation. Inilital treatment should be conservative and include the use of ocular lubricants and taping of the lower eyelid into the proper position. Surgical intervention may be required in patients who have failed medical therapy or in whom the facial paralysis is not expected to improve. Gold weight implantation in upper eyelid and lower lid tightening in lower eyelid has become a popular procedure to correct upper eyelid retraction and lower eyelid laxity and to improve corneal coverage. We describe technique for placement of a gold weight in the upper lid, with attention of the maintenance of symmetric eyelid crease and susture canthopexy to correct malpositioned lower eyelid.

One of the biggest problems of skeletonization is the occurrence of distortions at the junction point of the final binary image. At the junction area, a single point usually becomes a small stroke, and the corresponding trajectory task, as well as the OCR, consequently becomes more complicated. We therefore propose an adaptive post-processing method that uses an adaptive threshold technique to correct the distortions. Our proposed method transforms the distorted segments into a single point so that they are as similar to the original image as possible, and this improves the static handwriting images after the skeletonization process. Further, we attained promising results regarding the usage of the enhanced skeletonized images in other applications, thereby proving the expediency and efficiency of the proposed method.

본 논문에서는 에지검출 알고리즘을 이용하여 선형 영상에 대한 특징 추출기술을 논하였다. 에지 검출과정은 여러 개의 에지 마스크를 가지고 영상을 콘벌루션(convolution)함으로써 에지 크기와 방향을 결정하고, 이러한 에지 크기를 쓰레숄딩과 세선화하고, 간극(Gap)의 발생시 반복적으로 이 부분을 수정, 근접성(Proximity)과 방향성(orientation)에 기본을 두어 에지요소들을 연결(linking)하고, 선형근사화 시켰다. 이러한 것은 유사한 알고리즘을 연구하는 사람에게 도움이 될 것이다.

A power distribution facility map is composed of distribution facility information regions, cadastral regions and grid lines. In this map, our goal is automatic interpretation of power distribution region. For the goal, it is the first work to extract the power distribution facility region. In this paper, we propose a method to extract power distribution facility regions. The proposed method is consist of two phases, binarization phase and extending phase. The first phase generate a power distribution facility image using threshold value. The image contains many part of power distribution facility regions, but not all. The second phase extends thinned image which is generated by appling thinning operator to the power distribution facility image.

With the lightening of the mobile devices, thinning of electrolytic copper foil, which is mainly used as an anode collection of lithium secondary batteries, is needed. As the copper foil becomes ultrathin, mechanical properties such as deterioration of elongation rate and tear phenomenon are occurring, which is closely related to microstructure. However, there is a problem that it is not easy to prepare and observe specimens in the analysis of the microstructure of ultrathin copper foil. In this study, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) specimens were fabricated using only mechanical polishing to analyze the microstructure of 8 ㎛ thick electrolytic copper foil in plane view. In addition, EBSD maps and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images were compared and analyzed to find the optimal cleanup technique for properly correcting errors in EBSD maps.

공간영역에서는 특징검출을 위한 여러 가지 방법이 제안되어 왔으나 압축되어 있는 동영상에서 특징을 찾기 위해서는 압축을 풀고 특징을 찾아 처리하고 다시 압축해야하는 어려움이 있었다. MPEG이나 JPEG처럼 DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform)를 사용하는 압축 표준에서는 압축을 풀지 않고 직접 처리하는 방법들이 제안되어 왔고, DCT 영역에서 불연속 특징을 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안하였었으나, 압축영역에서의 불연속 검출은 방향 회전과 비표준 불연속 처리에서 문제점을 가지고 있었다. 본 연구에서는 불연속 특징 검출의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 퍼지 필터링 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 불연속의 높이와 방향을 퍼지화하여 필터링하며, 불연속의 연결, 세선화, 평활화 등의 기능을 수행한다. 이 방법은 DCT 영역에서 수행하므로 세밀하지는 못하지만 불연속 특징의 향상을 위하여 기존 방법보다 빠르고 안정되게 처리됨을 실험에 나타내었다.

To improve the blue responses of screen-printed single crystalline silicon solar cells, we investigated an emitter etch-back technique to obtain high emitter sheet resistances, where the defective dead layer on the emitter surface was etched and became thinner as the etch-back time increased, resulting in the monotonous increase of short circuit current and open circuit voltage. We found that an optimal etch-back time should be determined to achieve the maximal performance enhancement because of fill factor decrease due to a series resistance increment mainly affected by contact and lateral resistance in this case. To elucidate the reason for the fill factor decrease, we studied the resistance analysis by potential mapping to determine the contact and the lateral series resistance. As a result, we found that the fill factor decrease was attributed to the relatively fast increase of contact resistance due to the dead layer thinning down with the lowest contact resistivity when the emitter was contacted with screen-printed silver electrode.

Due to the variety of signal processing and complicated mathematical analysis, it is not easy to accomplish 3D bin-picking with non-contact sensor. To solve this difficulties the reliable signal processing algorithm and a good sensing device has been recommended. In this research, 3D laser scanner and CCD camera is applied as a sensing device respectively. With these sensor we develop a two-step bin-picking method and reliable algorithm for the recognition of 3D bin object. In the proposed bin-picking, the problem is reduced to 2D intial recognition with CCD camera at first, and then 3D pose detection with a laser scanner. To get a good movement in the robot base frame, the hand eye calibration between robot's end effector and sensing device should be also carried out. In this paper, we examine auto-calibration technique in the sensor calibration step. A new thinning algorithm and constrained hough transform is also studied for the robustness in the real environment usage. From the experimental results, we could see the robust bin-picking operation under the non-aligned 3D hole object.
