본 논문은 이동 선형 보간법에서 영상에 종속적인 이동 매개변수를 제안한다. 기존의 이동 선형 보간법에서는 최적 이동 매개변수 값을 0.21로 제시하였다. 이는 이동된 선형 보간 커널의 스펙트럼 해석에 의해서 얻어진 것이다. 하지만, 이동된 보간 커널의 스펙트럼 뿐 만 아니라 입력 영상의 스펙트럼을 반영하면 최적 이동 매개변수 값이 달라질 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 영상에 종속적인 이동 매개변수를 도입하였다. 실제 예제 영상을 이용하여 평균적으로 최적인 이동 매개변수 값은 0.19로 확인되었다. 실험결과는 제안된 방법이 기존의 방법들인 선형 보간법, 3차 컨볼루션 보간법, 이동선형보간법과 비교하여 주관적으로나 객관적으로 우수하다는 것을 보였다.

목적 : 본 논문은 Bayes의 복합 의사결정모델을 이용한 효과적인 다중에코 자기공명영상의 분류방법을 소개한다. 동질성을 갖는 영역 혹은 경계선부위 등 영역을 명확히 분할하기 위하여 영상 내 국소 부위 이웃시스댐상의 주변정보(contextual information)를 이용한 분류 방법을 제시한다. 대상 및 방법 : 통계학적으로이질적 성분들로 구성된 영상을 대상으로 한 주변정보를 이용한 분류결과는 영상내의 국소적으로 정적인 영역들을이웃화소시스탬 내에서 정의되는 상호작용 인자의 메커니즘에 의해 분리함으로서 개선시킬 수 있다. 영상의 분류과정에서 분류결과의 정확도를 향상시키기 위하여 분류대상화소의 주변화소에 대한 분류패턴을 이용한다면 일반적으로 발생하는 분류의 모호성을 제거한다. 그러한 이유는 특정 화소와 인접한 주변의 데이터는 본질적으로 특정 화소와 상관관계를 내재하고 있으며, 만일 주변데이터의 특성을 파악할수 있다면, 대상화소의 성질을 결정하는데 도움을 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 분류 대상화소의 주변정보와 Bayes의 복합 의사결정모델을 이용한 context-dependent 분류 방법을 제시한다. 이 모델에서 주변 정보는 국소 부위 이웃시스댐으로부터 전이확률(tran­s sition probability)을 추출하여 화소간의 상관관계의 강도를 결정하는 상호인자 값으로 사용한다. 결과 : 본논문에서는 다중에코자기공명영상의 분류를 위하여 Bayes의 복합 의사결정모델을 이용한 분류방법을 제안하였다. 주변 데이터를 고려하지 않는 context-free 분류 방법에 비하여 특히 동질성을 강는 영역 혹은 경계선 부위 등에서의 분류결과가 우수하게 나타났으며, 이는 주변정보를이용한 결과이다. 결론 : 본 논문에서는클러스터링 분석과 복합 의사결정 Bayes 모델을 이용하여 다중에코 자기공명영상의 분류 결과를 향상시키기 위한 새로운 방법을 소개하였다.

In the field of medical diagnostics, interested parties have resorted increasingly to medical imaging. It is well established that the accuracy and completeness of diagnosis are initially connected with the image quality, but the quality of the image is itself dependent on a number of factors including primarily the processing that an image must undergo to enhance its quality. This paper introduces an algorithm for medical image compression based on the quincunx wavelets coupled with SPIHT coding algorithm, of which we applied the lattice structure to improve the wavelet transform shortcomings. In order to enhance the compression by our algorithm, we have compared the results obtained with those of other methods containing wavelet transforms. For this reason, we evaluated two parameters known for their calculation speed. The first parameter is the PSNR; the second is MSSIM (structural similarity) to measure the quality of compressed image. The results are very satisfactory regarding compression ratio, and the computation time and quality of the compressed image compared to those of traditional methods.

In the industry, three-dimensional coloring has been needed for realistic prototype from rapid prototyping. Z-corporation developed a 3D printer which provides three-dimensional colored prototype. However, the existing process cannot be adopted to models from other rapid prototyping process. In addition, time and cost for manufacturing colored prototype still remain to be improved. In this study, a new coloring process using ink-jet head is proposed for color printing on three-dimensional prototype surface. Process parameters such as the angle and the distance between ink-jet nozzle and the three-dimensional surface should be investigated from experiments. The correction matrix according to sloped angle to minimize the distortion of 2D image was proposed by analysis of printing error. Therefore, approximated method for angle and discrete length according to the radius of curvature for printing on the curved surface was proposed. By printing image on the doubly curved surface, the method was verified. As a practical example, helmet was chosen for printing images on the curved surface. The character images were applied with approximated method for angle and discrete length and was printed on the helmet surface.

Purpose: Joint label fusion (JLF) is a popular multi-atlas-based segmentation algorithm, which compensates for dependent errors that may exist between atlases. However, in order to get good segmentation results, it is very important to set the several free parameters of the algorithm to optimal values. In this study, we first investigate the feasibility of a JLF algorithm for prostate segmentation in MR images, and then suggest the optimal set of parameters for the automatic prostate segmentation by validating the results of each parameter combination. Materials and Methods: We acquired T2-weighted prostate MR images from 20 normal heathy volunteers and did a series of cross validations for every set of parameters of JLF. In each case, the atlases were rigidly registered for the target image. Then, we calculated their voting weights for label fusion from each combination of JLF's parameters (r_pxy, r_pz, r_sxy, r_sz, β). We evaluated the segmentation performances by five validation metrics of the Prostate MR Image Segmentation challenge. Results: As the number of voxels participating in the voting weight calculation and the number of referenced atlases is increased, the overall segmentation performance is gradually improved. The JLF algorithm showed the best results for dice similarity coefficient, 0.8495 ± 0.0392; relative volume difference, 15.2353 ± 17.2350; absolute relative volume difference, 18.8710 ± 13.1546; 95% Hausdorff distance, 7.2366 ± 1.8502; and average boundary distance, 2.2107 ± 0.4972; in parameters of r_pxy = 10, r_pz = 1, r_sxy = 3, r_sz = 1, and β = 3. Conclusion: The evaluated results showed the feasibility of the JLF algorithm for automatic segmentation of prostate MRI. This empirical analysis of segmentation results by label fusion allows for the appropriate setting of parameters.

A Monte Carlo (MC) simulation study has been done in order to investigate the effects of line-edge-roughness (LER) induced by either 1P1E (single-patterning and single-etching) or 2P2E (double-patterning and double-etching) on fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI) tri-gate metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). Three parameters for characterizing the LER profile [i.e., root-mean square deviation (${\sigma}$), correlation length (${\zeta}$), and fractal dimension (D)] are extracted from the image-processed scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image for each photolithography method. It is experimentally verified that two parameters (i.e., ${\sigma}$ and D) are almost the same in each case, but the correlation length in the 2P2E case is longer than that in the 1P1E case. The 2P2E-LER-induced $V_TH$ variation in FDSOI tri-gate MOSFETs is smaller than the 1P1E-LER-induced $V_TH$ variation. The total random variation in $V_TH$, however, is very dependent on the other major random variation sources, such as random dopant fluctuation (RDF) and work-function variation (WFV).

Microscopic examination for the morphological estimation of wear debris on the oil-lubrcated moving system is an accepted method for machine condition and fault diagnosis. However wear particle anaysis has not been widely accepted industry because it is dependent on expert interpretation of particle morphology and relies on subjective assessment criteria. This paper was undertaken to estimate the morphology of wear debris on the oil-lubricated movig system by computer image analysis. The wear test was performed under different sliding conditions using a wear test device made in our laboratory and wear testing specimen of the pin-on-disk-type was rubbed in pararline series base oil. In order to describe characteristics of debris of various shape and size, four shape parameters (50% volumetric diameter, aspect, roundness and reflectivity) have been developed and outlined in the paper. A system using such techniques promises to obviate the need for subjective, human interpretation of particle morphology in machine condition monitoring.

The rainbow hologram provides views of reconstruction with rainbow color within a large viewing zone. In our recent paper, a Fourier rainbow holographic display using diffraction grating and a white-light LED source was introduced. In this technique, the rainbow effect is realized by the dispersion of white-light source on diffraction grating, while the slit is implemented numerically by reducing the demands of the space-bandwidth product of the display. This paper presents a novel analysis on the visual perception of the Fourier rainbow holographic display using Wigner distribution. The view-dependent appearance of the image, including multispectral field of view and viewing zone, is investigated considering the observer and the display parameters. The resolution of the holographic view is also investigated. For this, a new quantitative assessment for image blur is introduced using Wigner distribution analysis. The analysis is supported with numerical simulations and experimentally captured optical reconstructions for the holograms of the computer model and real object generated with different slit size, reconstruction distance, and different observation conditions.

Irregular temporal sampling is a common feature of geophysical and biological time series in remote sensing. This study proposes an on-line system for reconstructing observation image series contaminated by noises resulted from mechanical problems or sensing environmental condition. There is also a high likelihood that during the data acquisition periods the target site corresponding to any given pixel may be covered by fog or cloud, thereby resulting in bad or missing observation. The surface parameters associated with the land are usually dependent on the climate, and many physical processes that are displayed in the image sensed from the land then exhibit temporal variation with seasonal periodicity. A feedback system proposed in this study reconstructs a sequence of images remotely sensed from the land surface having the physical processes with seasonal periodicity. The harmonic model is used to track seasonal variation through time, and a Gibbs random field (GRF) is used to represent the spatial dependency of digital image processes. The experimental results of this simulation study show the potentiality of the proposed system to reconstruct the image series observed by imperfect sensing technology from the environment which are frequently influenced by bad weather. This study provides fundamental information on the elements of the proposed system for right usage in application.
