The embodiments disclosed herein relate to a biometric information registration apparatus and method using an artificial neural network. According to an embodiment, there are disclosed a biometric information registration apparatus and method that register biometric information by deriving converted information and a biometric information template based on an artificial neural network formed by successively connecting an encoding network for extracting security information and a feature point extraction network for extracting feature points to each other and renew the biometric information template using the converted information when updating the artificial neural network.

Biometric information registration method and biometric information registration device for performing same

A method for performing biometric recognition in a system in which biometric information is distributed and stored in a plurality of databases includes extracting biometric information of a user, generating a plurality of biometric information segments by dividing the extracted biometric information, calculating distances between pre-stored biometric information template segments for each of the plurality of databases and a corresponding one of the plurality of biometric information segments, and detecting a biometric information template matching the biometric information by using the calculated distances.

Biometric data distributed management system, and biometric recognition method using same

Disclosed herein are a display apparatus which facilitates a simultaneous comparison of a plurality of images which respectively illustrate different features on one divided display screen such that the images are seamlessly displayed on the screen, and an image display method which is performable by using the apparatus. The display apparatus includes a memory configured to store a plurality of different types of images of an object, an input device configured to receive an input of a command relating to simultaneously displaying the different types of images, and a display device configured to display images. Upon receiving the command, the display device divides a screen upon which an image of the object is displayable into a first region within which a first image showing one portion of the object is displayed and a second region within which a second image showing the remaining portion of the object is displayed.

Medical imaging apparatus for displaying x-ray images of different types

An X-ray imaging apparatus includes an X-ray generator configured to generate X-rays and radiate the X-rays to an object; an X-ray detector configured to detect the X-rays that have passed through the object and convert the X-rays into a signal; and a controller configured to generate a single energy X-ray image and multiple energy X-ray images including a first X-ray image generated using an X-ray having determined energy band that is extracted from the X-rays detected by the X-ray detector. The multiple energy X-ray images further include a second X-ray image in which a specific substance is separated, which is image is generated using the image signals corresponding to the energy bands from the detected X-rays, respectively, and the controller is further configured to control a display to display the single energy X-ray image and the first X-ray image and the second X-ray image on a screen of the display.

X-ray imaging device and X-ray image forming method

A radiographic imaging control method includes combining a plurality of images by applying a first weight to the plurality of images, displaying a composite image, acquired by combining the plurality of images, newly receiving a second weight with respect to the composite image, recombining the plurality of images based on the received second weight, and displaying a recombined image, acquired by recombining the plurality of images.

Radiographic imaging apparatus and control method thereof

Medical imaging apparatus for displaying portions of x-ray images and method for displaying medical image

An X-ray imaging apparatus includes an X-ray generator configured to generate X-rays and radiate the X-rays to an object; an X-ray detector configured to detect the X-rays that have passed through the object and convert the detected X-rays into a signal; and a controller configured to generate a single energy X-ray image and a plurality of multiple energy X-ray images using the signal and control a display to display the generated single energy X-ray image and the plurality of multiple energy X-ray images together.
