Image processing steps are consist of image acquisition, preprocessing, region, segmentation and recognition. But image corrupted commonly by noise reduction methods, many filters were proposed like mean filter, median filter, weighted median filter, Cheikh filter, and Kyu-cheol lee filter as spatial noise reduction filtering. We propose a new edge detection algorithm so that we find out edge existence and nonexistence. In non-edge area, we selectively apply weighted median filter based upon using information of difference value between weighted median filter's value and center pixel's value. As a result, we finally prove a better performance of noise reduction by applying adaptive weighted median filter and improvement of processing time through using simple algorithm.

디지털 영상의 배포에서, 위 변조자에 의해 영상이 변조되는 심각한 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 본 논문에서는 영상의 픽셀값 경사도에 따른 특징벡터를 이용한 미디언 필터링 영상 포렌식 판정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘에서, 원영상의 픽셀값 경사도로부터 자기회귀 계수를 1~6차까지의 6 Dim.을 계산한다. 그리고 경사도를 Poisson 방정식의 해에 의한 재구성 영상과 원영상과의 차영상으로 부터, 4 Dim. (평균값, 최대값 그리고 최대값의 좌표 i,j)의 특징벡터를 추출한다. 2 종류의 특징벡터는 10 Dim.으로 조합되어 변조된 영상의 미디언 필터링 (Median Filtering: MF) 검출기의 SVM (Support Vector Machine) 분류를 위한 학습에 사용된다. 제안된 미디언 필터링 검출 알고리즘은 동일 10 Dim. 특징벡터의 MFR (Median Filter Residual) 스킴과 비교하여 원영상, 평균필터링 ($3{\times}3$) 영상 그리고 JPEG (QF=90) 영상에서는 성능이 우수하며, Gaussian 필터링 ($3{\times}3$) 영상에서는 성능이 다소 낮지만, 성능평가 전체항목에서 민감도 (Sensitivity; TP: True Positive rate)와 1-특이도 (1-Specificity; FP: False Positive rate)의 AUC (Area Under Curve)가 모두 1에 수렴하여 'Excellent (A)' 등급임을 확인하였다.

Impulsive noise appears as black and/or white spots in an image. It is usually caused by errors during the image acquisition or transmission through communication channels. This paper presents a study on the impulsive noise reduction filter of digital image. A much more effective method for removing impulse noise is weighted median filtering. But it loses some information by changing center value with no condition. We propose some new technique to change center value with some conditions. In this paper, the performance of conditional weighted median filter is compared to the commonly used median filter, mean filter, max/min filter, and weighted median filter. A quantitative comparison is performed on MSE (Mean Square Error), RMSE (Root Mean Square Error), and SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio). Proposed conditional weighted median filter can yield better performance than regular filters.

본 논문은 MPEG 스트림 데이터에서 효과적으로 화면 전환 경계를 찾아내는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이를 위하여 먼저 연속적인 장면의 변화 정도를 표시하는 척도로써 히스토그램 차이 값(histogram difference value)과 픽셀 차이 값(pixel difference value)을 각각 하나의 신호로 취급한다. 이 신호에 중간 값 필터를 적용하여 얻어진 값과 원래의 신호의 차이값인 MFD(Median filtered difference) 값을 구한다. 이렇게 얻어진 MFD의 값이 크면 회면 전환이 일어남을 나타내며 따라서 컷 검출의 기준이 될 수 있다. 또한, 인공 신경망을 사용하여 컷 경계가 되는 MFD값의 문턱치를 결정한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 변화량이 심한 동영상이나 급작스럽게 밝아지는 프레임을 포함하는 동영상에서 적절히 컷 전환을 검출함을 보여 준다. 실험결과에서 제안된 알고리즘의 성능을 보여준다.

본 논문은 space-time signal processing(STAP)의 신호 모델과 불균일한 클러터 환경을 제시하고 이를 극복하고자 연구된 nonhomogeneity detector(NHD)의 사용 이후에도 일어나는 심각한 성능 저하를 극복하고자 중위수(median)를 이용한 간섭 공분산 행렬의 새로운 예측 방법을 제시하였다. 또한 대각 로드(diagonal loading)를 적용하여 고유값(eigen value) 특성을 개선시켰으며 signal to interference plus noise ratio(SINR) 손실을 계산하여 비교하였다. 마지막으로 modified sample matrix inversion(MSMI) 통계량으로 목표물 검출 능력을 비교한 결과 제시된 방법이 평균값(average)으로 정의된 기존의 방법보다 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

The total mercury content in the head hair of 87 dental personnel and 210 Seoul citizens as control was determined. 1) The mean value of mercury content in dentists (8.57ppm) was 3.3 times of Seoul male citizens (2.57ppm) and the median of the former (5.92 ppm) was higher than that of the latter (2.39ppm) by approximately 2.5 times. 2) The mean value of mercury content in dental nurses (5.79ppm) was 2.8 times of Seoul female citizens(2.11ppm) and the median of the former(4.62ppm) was higher than that of the latter (1.86ppm) by approximately 2.5 times. 3) The mean value of mercury content in Seoul citizens was 2.29ppm and the median was 1.98ppm. 4) There was no correlationship between the mercury content in the head hair of dentists and the length of dental surgery experience or the frequency of amalgam fiillings per day. 5) The mercury content of Seoul citizens was higher in the male than in the female. 6) It appears more meaningful to employ median values than mean values when the environmental pollution is considered.

The purpose of this study is to develop an optimal performance design ova concrete median barrier using the design of experiment and crash simulation which is done by Pam-Crash, one of the commercial crash simulation software. A formula of characteristic value was suggested to obtain an optimal performance design considering all of von Mises stress, volume and acceleration at center of gravity of a heavy truck. An optimal design of a concrete median barrier was obtained by the analysis of variance based on design of experiment and crash simulation. A crash simulation with the optimal design was accomplished in order to verify the suitability of the suggested formula and the proper application of the design of experiment. The obtained optimal design was satisfied for a domestic design regulation of a concrete median barrier.

This study was designed to investigate the median nerve cross-sectional area of the upper extremity which is the main cause of CTS in the 20s and 30s. The median nerve cross-sectional area (MNC-area) of each part of the upper limb was measured in healthy 20s and 30s females and males without neurological diseases or other diseases. This MNC-area was compared with the hand, wrist, finger, and other body indexes. The research group was divided into 20s female and male groups, and the 30s were also divided into female and male groups. In the comparison between the ages, the hand, and wrist configurations in the 30s were significantly higher than those of the 20s. The mean median nerve cross-sectional area was significantly larger in the male group than in the female group in both 20s and 30s, and it was larger in both men and women than in the 20s. Hand and wrist configurations were also positively correlated with the median nerve cross-sectional area in both 20s and 30s. The median values of hand ratio and wrist ratio were 2.26 and 0.65, respectively. This median value of hand ratio was inversely correlated with the median nerve cross-sectional area. The median nerve cross-area of the 20s was 6.88~7.38 ㎟ in the male group and 5.69~6.99 ㎟ in the female group, respectively. The median nerve cross-area of the 30s was 6.32~8.89 ㎟ in the male group and 6.15~7.17 ㎟ in the female group, respectively. The mean median nerve cross-sectional area was positively correlated with body mass index in both groups. Most of the variables were higher in their 30s than in their 20s.

In this paper, we propose a method of applying a lifting-based wavelet domain e-median filter (LBWDEMF) for image restoration. LBWDEMF helps in reducing the number of computations. An e-median filter is a type of modified median filter that processes each pixel of the output of a standard median filter in a binary manner, keeping the output of the median filter unchanged or replacing it with the original pixel value. Binary decision-making is controlled by comparing the absolute difference of the median filter output and the original image to a preset threshold. In addition, the advantage of LBWDEMF is that probabilities of encountering root images are spread over sub-band images, and therefore the e-median filter is unlikely to encounter root images at an early stage of iterations and generates a better result as iteration increases. The proposed method transforms an image into the wavelet domain using lifting-based wavelet filters, then applies an e-median filter in the wavelet domain, transforms the result into the spatial domain, and finally goes through one spatial domain e-median filter to produce the final restored image. Moreover, in order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method we compare the result obtained using the proposed method to those using a spatial domain median filter (SDMF), spatial domain e-median filter (SDEMF), and wavelet thresholding method. Experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to SDMF, SDEMF, and wavelet thresholding in terms of image restoration.

The prevalence of the maxillary median diastema was 11.6% in male, 7.5% in female and 9.7% in both sexes. 2. The prevalence of the maxillary median diastema showed the highest rate in 8 years old boys and girls, and it showed decreasing tendency according to increasing ago. 3. The prevalence of mesiodens was 0.4%, and boys had higher rate than girls. 4. Mean value of 'Frenum Distance' was 5.7mm in male, 5.5mm in female and mean value of 'Divergent Degree' was 2.0mm in male, 1.6mm in female.
