Recently, Very large and high resolution geological data from aerial or satellite imagery are available. Many researches and applications require to do realtime visualization of interest geological area or entire planet. Important operation of wide-spreaded terrain realtime visualization technique is the appropriate model resolution selection from pre-processed multi-resolution model hierarchy depend upon participant's view. For embodying such realtime rendering system with large geometric data, Preprocessing multi-resolution hierarchy from large scale geological information of interest area is required. In this research, recent Cubic multiresolution 4-8 tile hierarchy is selected for global planetary applications. Based upon the tile hierarchy, It constructs the selective terminal level tile mesh for original geological information area and starts to sample individual generated tiles for terminal level tiles. It completes the hierarchy by constructing intermediate tiles with low pass filtering in bottom-up direction. This research embodies series of efficient cubic 4-8 tile hierarchy construction mechanism with out-of-core storage. The planetary scale Mars' geographical altitude data and image data were selected for the experiment.

Currently, usability tests for web sites with representative users are conducted in laboratory environment that disturbs subjects' natural behavior. These test methods are inefficient for tests that require large number of subjects, because experimenters and subjects should be located in the same place at the same time during the test. In this study, a remote usability test tool, called 'RIO' has been developed to cope with these laboratory-based experiment problems - the 'synchronism' and the 'unnatural environment'. The tool is separated into three parts: 'Project Manager', 'Remote Interaction Observer', and 'Interaction Analyzer'. 'Project Manager' sets up overall experimental parameters and actual tasks to be peformed by subjects. 'Remote Interaction Observer', endued with Microsoft Internet Explorer Control, is a modified Web Browser which records user interactions, screen images and elaborate browser events while subject performs given tasks. This module is distributed to subjects as an installable software package. When they finish all the tasks, the captured interaction data is compressed and sent to 'Interaction Data Server' automatically. 'Interaction Analyzer' visualizes interaction data from the 'Interaction Data Server'. It also generates project-scope statistics which facilitate discovering peculiar cases among interaction submissions.

In this paper, we present a residual filter to improve performance of H.264 compressed video. In general, noisy video sequences captured by imaging system result in decline of coding efficiency and unpleasant coding artifacts due to higher frequency components. By incorporating local statistics and quantization parameter into filtering process, the spurious noise is significantly attenuated and coding efficiency is improved, leading to improvement of visual quality and to bit-rate saving for given quantization step size. In addition, in order to reduce the complexity of the residual filter, noise induced by analyzing H.264 transformation and quantization processes are introduced. The simulation results show the capability of the proposed algorithm.

In the restoration of degraded noisy motion blurred image, we have trade-off problem between smoothing the noise and restoration of the edge region. While the noise is smoothed, die edge or details will be corrupted. On the other hand, restoring the edge will amplify the noise. To solve this problem we propose an adaptive algorithm which uses I- H regularization operator for flat region and Laplacian regularization operator for edge region. Through the experiments, we verify that the proposed method shows better results in the suppression of the noise amplification in flat region, introducing less ringing artifacts in edge region and better ISNR than those of the conventional ones.

In this paper, we present a low complexity modified Gaussian model based pre-processing filter to improve the performance of H.264 compressed video. Video sequence captured by general imaging system represents the degraded version due to the additive noise which decreases coding efficiency and results in unpleasant coding artifacts due to higher frequency components. By incorporating local statistics and quantization parameter into filtering process, the spurious noise is significantly attenuated and coding efficiency is improved for given quantization step size. In addition, in order to reduce the complexity of the pre-processing filter, the simplified local statistics and quantization parameter are introduced. The simulation results show the capability of the proposed algorithm.

To restore image degraded by motion blur and additive noise, it is very difficult. In conventional restoration method, regularization is usually applied to all over the image without considering the local characteristics of image. As a result, ringing artifacts appear in edge regions and the noise amplification is introduced in flat regions. To solve this problem we propose an adaptive restoration method using directional regularization operator considering edges and the regularization operator with no direction for flat regions. We verified that the proposed method showed better results in the resolution. As a result it showed visually better image and improved better ISNR further than the conventional methods.

The principle of human perception, behavior, and thought is presented in the traditional interface design study that is ease to use and increase the learn-ability. We believe that the usability is related to user's affection. The goal of this paper is to investigate how visual metaphor works in usability and affection in interface to analyse the effect of visual metaphor to user affection. Literature reviews for the concept of metaphor and affection design conducted. We analyse the effect to user's affection through think-aloud i.e. protocol analysis for metaphor.

Typography in visual communication design is 'potential form' hidden within a space. Showing rhythm in typography is making 'aesthetic sense' in a graphic which has formative characteristics, the way of expression is very important. When the rhythm is recognized through visual stream, Rhythmic Sense is formed. The research will present a new form of the Visual Rhythmic Sense by analyzing typography works out positively. First of all, I researched works done by Fillippo Marinetti, Robert Massin, Wolfgang Weingart, and David Carson for their vigorous experimentalism in typography in forming visual rhythm. I used S.D. Scale method to analyze characteristics of visual image and VARIMAX for factor analysis reaching types of visual rhythm, which could be classified as following. (1) Synesthesia Rhythmic Sense (R-synesthesia) means that the senses are conveyed through 'visualization of auditory sense' and 'visualization of touch' (2) Simultaneous Rhythmic Sense (R-simultaneity) means that the time and space co-exist in one plane. (3) Connective Rhythmic Sense(R-connection) means that different factors (Within one plane) co-exist interacting with one another and creating a unified impression through such a process. (4) Artist Oriented Rhythmic Sense ($-artist) means that the artist interprets the content subjectively and expresses his/her impression, thereby, attracting a gaze of audience systematically and arbitrarily. (5) Reader Oriented Rhythmic Sense(R-reader) avoids the existing legibility formed through aggressive engagement of the reader.

본 논문에서는 이산 여현변환에 기반으로 한 고압축의 복원된 영상으로 발생하는 블록화 현상을 제거하기 위한 개선된 후처리 기법을 제안한다. 먼저 압축으로부터 복원된 영상에 대하여, 변환 블록단위로 계산된 블록 경계 불연속값을 이용하여 블록화현상 블록과 에지블록을 구별한다. 블록화현상 블록은 다시 블록 경계면의 격차 정도에 따라 적응적으로 블록경계에서 필터링되는 화소 범위를 다르게 하여 필터링하며, 에지 블록은 다시 화소단위로 에지화소 여부를 조사하여, 에지가 아닌 화소만 필터링을 취하여 좀 더 세밀하게 블록화 현상을 제거하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과를 통하여 제안한 방법이 기존 방법에 비해 시각적으로 향상된 영상을 얻을 수 있음을 입증하였다.
