DNN을 사용하여 객체 인식 과정에서 객체를 잘 분류하기 위해서는 시각적 설명성이 요구된다. 시각적 설명성은 object class에 대한 예측을 pixel-wise attribution으로 표현해 예측 근거를 해석하기 위해 제안되었다, Scale-invariant한 특징을 제공하도록 설계된 pyramidal features 기반 backbone 구조는 object detection 및 classification 등에서 널리 쓰이고 있으며, 이러한 특징을 갖는 feature pyramid를 trainable attention mechanism에 적용하고자 할 때 계산량 및 메모리의 복잡도가 증가하는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 FPN에서 객체 인식 성능과 설명성을 높이기 위한 피라미드-주의집중 계층네트워크 (FPN-Attention Layered Network) 방식을 제안하고, 실험적으로 그 특성을 평가하고자 한다. 기존의 FPN만을 사용하였을 때 객체 인식 과정에서 설명성을 향상시키는 방식이 객체 인식에 미치는 정도를 정량적으로 평가하였다. 제안된 모델의 적용을 통해 낮은 computing 오버헤드 수준에서 multi-level feature를 고려한 시각적 설명성을 개선시켜, 결괴적으로 객체 인식 성능을 향상 시킬 수 있음을 실험적으로 확인할 수 있었다.

Psychophysical experiment was performed to investigate how audio-visual spatial disparity affects on perceptual space in peripheral vision. In the experiment, participants were exposed to two stimuli of vision and sound which comes simultaneously from different directions, respectively. The visual stimulus was implemented by 7 white LEDs which were located at an equal distance with 7 different angles of $-70^{\circ}$, $-40^{\circ}$, $-20^{\circ}$, $0^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $40^{\circ}$, and $70^{\circ}$ from the right front. Those audial stimuli were also implemented by loudspeakers which were placed at 9 different directions equally spaced by $5^{\circ}$ ranged from $-20^{\circ}$ to $20^{\circ}$. Each participant then evaluated spatial disparity between visual and audial stimuli with 5 levels of response, in which the higher level indicates the larger gap. When the visual stimulus is applied from the right, the results show that the response level gets higher for a larger angle between visual and auditory stimuli. A similar tendency for the visual stimulus with $0^{\circ}$ orientation was also be observed. On the other hand, when the visual stimulus is applied from the left, the response level gets lower for the larger angle.

본 논문에서는 증강현실 기반 제품 디자인 시, 논문 [1]에서 제안된 몰입감 향상 기법들에 대한 사용성 평가를 통해, 사용자에게 다차원 피드백(multimodal feedback)을 제공하는 것이 몰입감 향상에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가에 대해 알아본다. 우선 기존의 데스크톱 기반의 디자인 환경과 다차원 피드백을 가능하게 하는 증강현실 기반 디자인 환경과의 비교 후, 시각 피드백에 대한 사용성 평가로써 증강된 가상객체에 의해 가려진 손을 다시 보이게 함으로 얻게 되는 실재감 향상 정도와 사용자의 입력에 따른 컨텐츠의 시각적 맵핑의 적절성을 평가한다. 또한 청각 피드백에 대한 평가 기준으로써 시나리오 상의 상황에 따른 배경음/효과음 맵핑의 몰입감과 적절성을 평가한다. 마지막으로 촉각 피드백에 대한 평가로써, 물리적인 감각형 객체에 가상객체를 정합함으로써 얻게 되는 촉감과 시나리오 상의 이벤트에 따라 제시되는 진동-촉각 피드백에 의한 몰입감 향상 정도를 평가한다. 제시된 사용성 평가의 결과는 기존의 증강현실 기반 디자인 시스템의 몰입감을 향상 시키기 위한 구현에 있어, 고려될 수 있는 사항으로써 의미가 있다.

In the knowledge and information society, there is an increasing importance of information, being unable to access this information becomes a huge disadvantage. Blind and visually impaired users who are using assistant equipment such as screen readers are the very class that is having trouble accessing the web content that public libraries provide. In this research 10% of each region's libraries were picked as a research sample. Most of the web content that the public libraries provided did not meet the Internet web content accessibility guidelines as a Korean standard. Also evaluation into web accessibility by the visually impaired was also low. This research suggests some solutions for libraries to reduce the disadvantages that are put upon visually impaired people from various views such as perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.

As information radically increases owing to the proliferation of Internet, users are highly interested in information design that enables them to easily approach the information desired by them and shows the unsystematic information in summarized and recognizable information by rearrangement. In the problem, general users could not easily recognize such information design, because it was not designed on the basis of understanding the situation where users actually contacted, but used the method that visualized based on the result which emphasized the aspect of system. Studying map information retrieval site for improvement of efficiency of information delivery, this research analyzed user interface design problems of map information service through evaluation list acquired by investigating user interface design principle and mutually comparing with information visualization system evaluation standard.

위성 항법 시스템 (GPS : Global Positioning System)은 3차원 위치는 물론 정확한 시각정보를 제공할 수 있는 항법시스템으로 항해에 있어 필수적인 요소이다. 최근 무인선박에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되며, GPS에 대한 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 무인선박은 자율 항해를 위하여 GPS와 관성센서, 라이다, 카메라 등의 기타 보조 센서를 결합한 데이터를 활용한다. 복합 센서를 활용한 자율 항해에 있어 각 센서들간의 시각동기 또한 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문은 GPS를 활용하여 소프트웨어/하드웨어적인 시각동기화 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 embedded Linux platform을 활용하여 GPS로부터 획득한 시각동기화 신호를 기준으로 시각동기화된 복합 센서 데이터를 취득하는 방안이다. 제안된 기법의 성능 평가를 위하여, GPS 가용/불가용 구간을 모사한 환경에서 GPS, 관성센서, 고도계를 결합한 실제 데이터를 활용하였다.

웨이블릿 화상 코딩 기법은 자연적으로 레이어드된 비트스트림을 생성해 내기 때문에, 주파수 제한적인 채널 상황에서 에러에 강한 성능을 나타내고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Progressive Image Coder의 성능을 비교하고 평가하는 새로운 기법인 시각적 엔트로피를 이용해, 웨이블릿 영역에서 시각적인 가중치를 이용해 정량화하려고 한다. 이 시각적인 가중치는 주파수 영역과 공간 영역에서, 인간의 시각 체계(HVS, human visual system)에 기반 하여 만들어진 것으로, 웨이블릿 계수들의 코딩 순서를 결정하는 기준으로 사용되고, 이렇게 해서 시각적인 화질을 개선할 수가 있다. 정규화된 채널 용량이 0.3일 때, 전송 이득은 시각적 엔트로피로 측정해 보았을 때 23% 이상 얻을 수 있다.

This research investigated the preference factor which has an effect on the forms of bus stop shelter in order to grasp the visual preference factor, which is necessary for planning and designing of bus stop shelter centering around user, starting with the question of the research regarding that a shelter is preferred by what kind of factor when the environmental conditions are regular. This research examined the relation between visual preference and preference factor which has an effect on it with Multiple Regression Analysis after evaluating visual preference for shelter form by user as applying of scoring system of Interval Scale. The result of the factor analysis by visual evaluation for the form of bus stop shelter through the said research result will have an great effect on the design of bus stop shelter centering around its user. Therefore, this research result will give a knowledge which is necessary for the plan and the installation of bus stop shelter, and contributes to shelter design and bus stop promotion which can maximize the satisfaction of user. As well, concerning the management of bus stop facilities, it will give useful guidelines for planning strategically the shelter management centering around user. In particular, It is estimated that the preference factor analysis by visual evaluation of the mass transportation user in daily life will be the cardinal point for bus stop plan.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects of constituent characteristics and the mechanical properties by KES-FB system on the visual texture images and preference of men's suit fabrics. Twenty different kinds of black fabrics, which were used mainly for the spring and summer men's suits, were selected and the subjective evaluation of the visual texture images was tested. Sixty experts in department of clothing and apparel industries participated in the subjective evaluation. Factor analysis showed visual texture images were classified into 4 categories : 'bulkiness', $'extensibility{\cdot}rapability'$, 'flexibility' and 'smoothness'. All of relationships were established between the mechanical properties and the visual texture images except the relation between 'flexibility' and bending properties. The significant factors affecting preference were 'smoothness', compression energy(WC), fabric count and 'flexibility', As the fabrics had higher value for 'smoothness' and 'flexibility' , and lower ones for compression energy and fabric count, they tended to be more preferred.

To assess image quality accurately, an image quality assessment (IQA) metric is required to reflect the human visual system (HVS) properly. In other words, the structure, color, and contrast ratio of the image should be evaluated in consideration of various factors. In addition, as mobile embedded devices such as smartphone become popular, a fast computing speed is important. In this paper, the proposed IQA metric combines color similarity, gradient similarity, and phase similarity synergistically to satisfy the HVS and is designed by using optimized pooling and quantization for fast computation. The proposed IQA metric is compared against existing 13 methods using 4 kinds of evaluation methods. The experimental results show that the proposed IQA metric ranks the first on 3 evaluation methods and the first on the remaining method, next to VSI which is the most remarkable IQA metric. Its computing speed is on average about 20% faster than VSI's. In addition, we find that the proposed IQA metric has a bigger amount of correlation with the HVS than existing IQA metrics.
