This study empirically analyzed the users' experiences with the Netflix thumbnail curation based on the Technology Acceptance Model(TAM). According to the correlation analysis results, the higher the dependence on the thumbnails, the higher the satisfaction with the thumbnail curation. Both Perceived Informational Usefulness(PIU) and Perceived Ease of Use(PEOU) had correlations with the degree of satisfaction with the thumbnail curation. In particular, the factors of relevance in PEOU had the greatest impact on the degree of satisfaction and this result proved that the suitability factors of the thumbnails had significant correlations with the degree of satisfaction. The degree of satisfaction with the thumbnail curation also positively correlated with Netflix's overall degree of satisfaction and behavioral intention to use the Netflix. This study demonstrated the suitability of the TAM as a UX evaluation tool for the Netflix thumbnail curation.

Thumbnail, the small sized graphic file such as JPEG or GIF, serves to help the users to be recognized as a rapidly helps to make it easier recognize while browsing the large sized graphic file. Gallery application, which is installed in a later version of the 4.4.x(Kitkat) Android smartphone records the generated time of graphic file in thumbnail metadata. Thumbnail can be used to draw up the timeline of user action about user's action such as creation, modification, deletion with original graphic file analysis. Also, take advantage of the features thumbnails are stored sequentially in a single thumbcache file, even if the thumbcache is deleted, we can restore the thumbnails. This paper illustrates the feature of thumbnail created by Android OS basic gallery app and methods for utilization in digital forensics.

IPTV, 블루레이 디스크, DMB 등과 같은 멀티미디어 서비스에서 H.264/AVC 비디오 표준기술을 채택하고 있다. 따라서 H.264/AVC 비트스트림을 고속으로 인덱싱하기 위한 썸네일 기술이 요구 된다. 그러나 H.264/AVC는 기존 표준기술과는 다르게 인트라 모드에서도 예측방법을 이용하기 때문에 새로운 썸네일 추출방법이 요구되어 최근에 H.264/AVC 비트스트림 상에서 썸네일을 추출하는 방법이 제안되었다. 그러나 이 방법에서는 인트라 $16{\times}16$ 모드와 연관된 블록에서 심각한 화질의 저하가 발생하며, QP 값이 커질수록 그 증상이 더 심해지는 문제점이 있다. 그리고 공간주파수 영역에서 처리하기 때문에 예측 모드에 따라 연산오류가 발생하여 이 오류가 파급되는 문제가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 공간주파수 영역에서 H.264/AVC 썸네일을 추출할 때 인트라 $16{\times}16$ 예측 모드에서도 오류가 발생하지 않도록 하는 방법과 공간주파수 영역에서 발생하는 연산 오류를 보상하는 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 제안한 방법을 다양한 시험 비디오 시퀀스에 적용하여 이전 썸네일 추출 방법과 비교하여 프레임에 따라 최대 PSNR 약 4dB 증가 및 주관적 화질을 향상시켰다.

Recently, thumbnail techniques are required to index a high-performance video at digital convergence-based multimedia service like IPTV and DMB. Therefore a thumbnail extraction method in H.264/AVC bitstreams has been proposed. However, thumbnail quality deterioration problem at converting the general equation of spatial domain to frequency domain which is generated by not considering about H.264/AVC transform and quantization processing and rounding-off operation in intra prediction. In this paper, we propose a new thumbnail extraction method in H.264/AVC bitstreams. The proposed scheme is based on H.264/AVC core-transform for a thumbnail extraction in frequency domain, and probability theory, intra rounding-off error compensation. Through the implementation and performance evaluation, the subjective quality difference between the output of our scheme and the output of reference decoder is negligible and better than the conventional method, and moreover PSNR gain by up to 8.66 dB.

In this paper, a simple but effective algorithm to reduce the computational complexity of thumbnail generation and to improve image quality without aliasing artifacts is proposed. For the high speed decoding, the proposed algorithm performs partial decoding per $4{\times}4$ boundary in TU(Transform Unit), and preforms TU boundary in PU(Prediction Unit). The proposed method defines the weights based on intra prediction directions and estimates the thumbnail pixel by using that weights. this method remains thumbnail extraction time and improves thumbnail image quality compared with conventional algorithms.

The effect of different exposed length of M.9 rootstock on growth and yield was tested in the new apple cultivars. The 'Seohong', 'Summer Dream', and 'Hongguem' grafted on M.9 rootstock were planted in March 2010. The trees were planted in such a way that the exposed length of the rootstock to be 10, 20 and 30 cm. The result showed that as decreasing exposure length, TCA of 'Seohong', 'Summer Dream', and 'Hongguem' was increased between $3^{rd}$ and $6^{th}$ year after planting. The TCA of 20 cm and 30 cm exposure length showed respectively 70% and 60% in 'Seohong', 88% and 66% in 'Summer Dream', and 55% and 41% in 'Hongguem' of the TCA with 10 cm exposure length on 6-year-old trees. Tree height, canopy width, shoot length and terminal shoot length were also increased according to decreased exposure length in 6-year-old trees. The cumulative yield of three cultivars was higher in the tree with a lower exposure length between $4^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ year after planting. The cumulative yield of 20 cm and 30 cm exposure length showed respectively 77% and 63% in 'Seohong', 85% and 76% in 'Summer Dream', and 73% and 58% in 'Hongguem' of the cumulative yield with 10 cm exposure length in 6-year-old trees. Considering tree growth and yield, the optimum exposure length of M.9 was 10 cm for 'Seohong', 'Summer Dream' and 'Hongguem'.

Recently, high definition media services like HDTV and IPTV are growing. A fast reduced-size image extracting method is required to meet what those services require. Conventional DC image extracting methods, however, can't be applied to H.264/AVC streams since a spatial domain prediction scheme is adopted in H.264/AVC intra mode. To solve this problem, a thumbnail extraction method in H.264/AVC was proposed. However, the method has mismatch problem which was caused by round-off operation in intra prediction and mismatch between integer and floating point calculation. In this paper, we propose an error compensation method for extracting thumbnail directly in H.264/AVC bitstreams. The compensation method introduces the mismatch problem in thumbnail extraction and presents compensation values. Through the implementation and performance evaluation, proposed method compensated round-off error efficiently in D1 and HD sequences while the additional extraction time is negligible.

Steganography is an advanced technique that hides secret messages by transforming them into subtle noise and spreading them within multimedia files such as images, video and audio. This technology has been exploited in a variety of espionage and cyber attacks. SNS messenger is an attractive SNS Service platform for sending and receiving multimedia files, which is the main medium of steganography. In this study, we proposed two noble steganography communication techniques that guarantee the complete reception rate through the use of thumbnail images in the SNS messenger environment. In addition, the feasibility was verified through implementation and testing of the proposed techniques in a real environment using KakaoTalk, a representative SNS messenger in south korea. By proposing new steganography methods in this study, we re-evaluate the risk of the steganography methods and promoted follow-up studies on the corresponding defense techniques.
