Abstract:
A method for determining focus of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which is changed by body activities, comprises the steps of: designating location of an observation point, which is a datum point for transmission and reception of ultrasound, to a three-dimensional organ model which shows anatomical information of the organ; obtaining first location, in which the observation point is moved, by the morphological change of the three-dimensional organ model; transmitting the ultrasound to the observation point and obtaining displacement of the observation point using time to receive reflected wave; obtaining second location, in which the observation point is moved, using the obtained displacement; determining location, in which the observation point is moved, based on the first and second location; and determining focus of the high-intensity focused ultrasound based on the determined location of the observation point.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A data transmission apparatus and method thereof are provided to exchange information between virtual worlds by encoding information as meta data. CONSTITUTION: An encoder(211) encodes information for a first virtual world(201) as first meta data. A transmission unit(212) transmits the first meta data to a second virtual world(202). The encoder creates the first meta data by encoding information for the first virtual world. The encoder creates the first meta data by encoding the information for the first virtual word as an XML(eXtensible Markup Language) type. The encoder creates the first meta data by compressing the encoded information into lossless data.

PURPOSE: A depth image creation method and apparatus thereof are provided to create a virtual view point image by using a depth image which includes the same a view point as a color image. CONSTITUTION: A view point changing unit(210) changes three-dimensional points of a depth image into the coordinate system of a color image. An up-sampling unit(220) samples the depth image into a first depth image which includes the same resolution as the color image. A boundary compensation unit(230) compensates the boundary of an object. A final depth value determination unit(240) determines the final depth value of a pixel based on the first depth image and a second depth image. The second depth image is created by inversely changing a depth value of the depth image.
