As intuitive hardware interfaces continue to be developed, it has become more important to recognize the posture of the user. An efficient alternative to adding expensive sensors is to implement computer vision systems. This paper proposes a method to recognize a user's postured in a live broadcast bi-directional participatory TV program. The proposed method first estimates the position of the user's hands by generation a facial color map for the user and a motion map. The posture is then recognized by computing the relative position of the face and the hands. This method exhibited 90% accuracy in an experiment to recognize three defined postures during the live broadcast bi-directional participatory TV program, even when the input images contained a complex background.

This research aims to develop a voyage performance monitoring system based on international standards. The developed system is equipped with an electronic navigational chart(ENC) that provides onshore and offshore information, as well as supports standardized interfaces with navigational equipment, such as a gyro compass, a differential global positioning system(DGPS), and an automatic identification system(AIS), to monitor the navigation route in real time. In addition, the proposed system adopts a car navigation system to provide a graphical user interface, an intuitive menu-driven configuration, and an easy guide for safer sea navigation. The system, interfaced with the gyro compass and DGPS, was verified without any data loss, and passed a test conducted under extreme conditions by the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme(KOLAS). Finally, the system contributes to preventing collision of vessels and minimizing casualties by maximizing the convenience of mariners which a conventional system does not provide.

본 논문은 사용할 수 있는 헤어스타일의 수가 제한되는 문제를 해결하기 위한 것으로, 상호대화식 매팅을 이용한 2D 가상 컬러 헤어스타일러에 관한 것이다. 사전에 준비된 그래픽 헤어스타일 외에도 원하는 헤어스타일을 보유한 2D 실사 영상으로부터 상호대화식 매팅 기술을 사용하여 헤어스타일을 분리 추출한 후, 영상 간 픽 앤 드롭(pick-and-drop) 방식으로 옮겨와 두상에 부착한 다음, 필요시 헤어스타일의 컬러도 자유롭게 변경할 수 있는 기능을 제공함으로써 저비용으로 활용 가능한 헤어스타일의 수를 증대시킬 수 있다. 이때 헤어스타일의 분리 추출은 사용자가 전경 객체의 개략적 윤곽을 그려줌에 따라 점증적으로 알파 매트를 계산하는 상호대화식 매팅 기술을 사용한다. 그리고 헤어스타일의 컬러 변경은 명도 차분 맵(intensity difference map)에 기반한 모발 컬러 매핑 기술을 사용한다. 제안된 방법은 직관적이고 편리한 상호대화식 사용자 인터페이스를 제공하기 때문에 작업자의 피로도를 경감시킴과 동시에 작업 시간을 단축할 수 있고 비숙련자도 간단한 사용자 입력을 통해 자연스러운 가상 헤어스타일을 생성할 수 있는 장점이다.

In this paper, we present an efficient hardware architecture for the frame memory of the MPEG-2 video encoder. Both the total size of internal buffers and the number of logic gates are reduced by the proposed memory map which can provide an effective interface between MPEG-2 video encoder and the external DRAM. Furthermore, the proposed scheme can reduce the DRAM access time. To realize the frame memory hardware,$0.5\mu\textrm{m}$, VTI, vemn5a3 standard cell library is used. VHDL simulator and logic synthesis tool are used for hardware design and RTL (register transfer level) function verification. The frame memory hardware emulator of the proposed architecture is designed for gate-level function verification. It is expected that the proposed frame memory hardware using VHDL can achieve suitable performance for MPEG-2 MP@ML.

Hypermedia systems have the browsing mechanism using links and provide navigation tools to retrieve and represent multimedia information. In this study we designed and implemented a hypermedia system which has the hierarchical group and local map for effective navigation. We also propose the clustering mechanism which constructs a cluster tree and uses this knowledge for navigation. The system has been designed to integrate the browsing and searching function of the hypermedia system for efficient multimedia information retrieval and user-interface. This system can be used to develop hypermedia application systems in the area of encyclopedia, reference document information, electronic dictionary and electronic book.

Most of the previous algorithms focus on computing the convex hull for a set of points. In this paper, we present a method for approximating the convex hull for a set of spheres with various radii in discrete space. Computing the convex hull for a set of spheres is a base technology for many applications that study structural properties of molecules. We present a voxel map data structures, where the molecule is represented as a set of spheres, and corresponding algorithms. Based on CUDA programming for using the parallel architecture of GPU, our algorithm takes less than 40ms for computing the convex hull of 6,400 spheres in average.

In order to extend the activity range of visually impaired persons, we design and implement a navigation system that supports road information services and points of interest. The proposed navigation system consists of route creation modules and storage modules for visually impaired persons. In particular, the main interface of the navigation system are implemented using TTS(Text-to-Speech) program for sound and braille module that outputs braille with sense of touch. We also use google map APIs that can provide latest map information for the navigation system.

Human face detection is often the first step in applications such as video surveillance, human computer interface, fare recognition, and image database management. We have constructed a simple and fast system to detect frontal human faces in complex environment and different illumination. This paper presents a fast segmentation method to combine neighboring pixels with similar hue. The algorithm constructs eye, mouth, and boundary maps for verifying each fare candidate. We test the system on images in complex environment and with confusing objects. The experiment shows a robust detection result with few false detected fates.
