In this paper, we propose a method of synthesizing faces of a user and an animation character using a 3D face model. The suggested method first receives two orthogonal 2D face images and extracts major features of the face through the template snake. It then generates a user-customized 3D face model by adjusting a generalized face model using the extracted facial features and by mapping texture maps obtained from two input images to the 3D face model. Finally, it generates a user-customized animation character by synthesizing the generated 3D model to an animation character reflecting the position, size, facial expressions, and rotational information of the character. Experimental results show some results to verify the performance of the suggested algorithm. We expect that our method will be useful to various applications such as games and animation movies.

The optical performance of the mirror for satellite camera is highly dependent on the adhesive properties between the mirror and its support. Therefore, in order to design a mirror with high optical performance, the mechanical properties of adhesives should be well defined. In this paper, the mechanical properties of three kinds of space adhesives are studied. Elastic moduli of the adhesives are determined by tensile tests. Stress-strain relation is obtained by using exponential curve fitting for the adhesive which shows non-linear behavior. In case of the linear behavior material, elastic modulus is calculated through linear curve fitting. For the tensile tests, several points have been selected in the operating temperature range of the adhesive. The elastic modulus of each adhesive is expressed as a function of temperature. Characteristics of the adhesives are discussed regarding their temperature sensitivity.

Avatars are a visual representation of users in a virtual world such as an MMORPG. These avatars are often seen as representations or idealizations of the user's actual self. However, this view does not account for the prevalence of two behaviors: multiple avatars and 'gender swapping'. An exercise and questionnaire were created to study avatar customization practices across players outside the context of any particular game to understand better user motivations in creating their virtual selves. A preliminary trial of the exercise showed little correlation between age or gender and gender swapping. While those of non-traditional sexuality were more likely to gender swap, half of traditional sexuality also swapped. Finally, the personality trait, Openness to Experience, showed promising correlation with gender swapping.

We obtained a Dicom file using a CT (Computed Tomography), a diagnostic test device used in clinical practice. Dicom files and 3D programs, and finger printers with 3D printers. Because the finger brace is intended for the human body, the accuracy of the shape is very important. 3D Print has the advantage of high precision, variety of materials, and short output time. In clinic, aluminum protector or medical device manufacturer's finger protector is limited. By creating a finger brace with a 3D printer, we expect to be able to apply a precise form of a custom finger brace to the patient that can be used to treat a patient's finger trauma, illness, or deformity.

Due to the growth of internet data and the rapid development of internet technology, "big data" analysis is actively conducted to analyze enormous data for various purposes. Especially in recent years, a number of studies have been performed on the applications of text mining techniques in order to overcome the limitations of existing structured data analysis. Various studies on sentiment analysis, the part of text mining techniques, are actively studied to score opinions based on the distribution of polarity of words in documents. Usually, the sentiment analysis uses sentiment dictionary contains positivity and negativity of vocabularies. As a part of such studies, this study tries to construct sentiment dictionary which is customized to specific data domain. Using a common sentiment dictionary for sentiment analysis without considering data domain characteristic cannot reflect contextual expression only used in the specific data domain. So, we can expect using a modified sentiment dictionary customized to data domain can lead the improvement of sentiment analysis efficiency. Therefore, this study aims to suggest a way to construct customized dictionary to reflect characteristics of data domain. Especially, in this study, movie review data are divided by genre and construct genre-customized dictionaries. The performance of customized dictionary in sentiment analysis is compared with a common sentiment dictionary. In this study, IMDb data are chosen as the subject of analysis, and movie reviews are categorized by genre. Six genres in IMDb, 'action', 'animation', 'comedy', 'drama', 'horror', and 'sci-fi' are selected. Five highest ranking movies and five lowest ranking movies per genre are selected as training data set and two years' movie data from 2012 September 2012 to June 2014 are collected as test data set. Using SO-PMI (Semantic Orientation from Point-wise Mutual Information) technique, we build customized sentiment dictionary per genre and compare prediction accuracy on review rating. As a result of the analysis, the prediction using customized dictionaries improves prediction accuracy. The performance improvement is 2.82% in overall and is statistical significant. Especially, the customized dictionary on 'sci-fi' leads the highest accuracy improvement among six genres. Even though this study shows the usefulness of customized dictionaries in sentiment analysis, further studies are required to generalize the results. In this study, we only consider adjectives as additional terms in customized sentiment dictionary. Other part of text such as verb and adverb can be considered to improve sentiment analysis performance. Also, we need to apply customized sentiment dictionary to other domain such as product reviews.

The morphology of a bone is closely associated with its biomechanical response. Thus, much research has been focused on analyzing the effects of variation of bone morphology with subject-specific models. Subject-specific models, which are generally achieved from 3D imaging devices like CT and MRI, incorporate more of the detailed information that makes a model unique. Hence, it may predict individual responses more accurately. Despite these powerful characteristics, specific models are not easily parameterized to the extent possible with statistical models because of their morphologic complexities. Thus, it is still proven challenging to analyze morphologic variations of subject-specific models across changes due to aging or disease. The aim of this article is to propose a generic and robust parametric morphing method for a subject-specific bone structure. We demonstrate this by using the proposed method on a model of a human proximal femur. Automatic segmentation algorithms are also presented to parameterize the specific model efficiently. A total of 48 femur models were evaluated for defining morphing vector fields. Also, several anatomical and mechanical functions of femur were considered as morphing constraints, and the NURBS interpolating technique was applied in the method to guarantee the generality of our morphed results.

This paper proposes a new infrastructure that supports divisible card payment where a combination of multiple credit cards can be used for a single purchase. The divisible card payment infrastructure modifies the existing payment system in two ways. First, the V-Card Manager(VCM) is added to the merchant side to handle the divisible card approval process from respective credit-card issuers. Second, the V-Card Agent(VA) is added to the customer side and generates a customized divisible card, called V-Card, based on the customer's preferences. This paper provides a customizing card payment method that supports divisible payments based on profits and preferences of customers.

Multimode planar waveguides have been fabricated by an electric-field assisted ion exchange in soda-lime glass substrates. Measurements of the mode indices have been made and the index profiles modeled on modified Fermi function are explained by a comparative analysis with the concentration profiles obtained using an electron probe X-ray micro analyzer. The analytical measurements showed that no more than 95% of sodium ions were replaced by the cesium ions. We established formulas for guide depth, mobility, and refractive index change, given the applied electric field, the diffusion temperature, and the time. We have verified the linear relations in the formulas not only between guide and root of diffusion time but also between guide depth and the applied electric filed experimentally.
