The appearance of digital culture swiftly has changed the culture in domestic and international arenas before and after the year 2004 and the image and animation have become two of the most important expression media in contemporary age. Among the Japanese animations that have demonstrated the rapid development of cartoon and animation in the world, the director Dakahata Isao's 'Graves of the Fireflies' that has influenced many works has been evaluated as one of the noticeable works that has a unique method and scenario dramatization in terms of producing the original novel into an animation. This study investigates the metaphor and symbolism shown in this work according to each sequence, divides the production ability in the work into three elements and applies them to the important elements such as camera, colors and mise-en-scene when the original work is depicted into image. It can be summarized in more detail as in the following: firstly, I study the rhythm of camera corresponding to the symbolism of the angle that the camera has and production; secondly, I analyze the artistic elements appeared in the process of expressing the original work into the image, especially the production for the colors and symbolism contained in them and the composition of screen. Thirdly, I analyze how effectively the atmosphere for the situations for the original work is expressed in animation with the aid of one of the image elements, mis-en-scene. It is expected that the analyzed findings will be effective as a way of overcoming the limitation of expressions that the original work in text and the study on these processes will become good examples to the relevant workers and will be the good references to the producers who are interested in the creation of animation in Korea.

The purpose of this case study is to understand the characteristics and implication of videojournalist's image expression techniques in the television news programs, comparing with television camera reporter's image expression techniques. Texts chosen in this thesis are 120 programs of KBS2TV 'News Time' which had been on air from July to December in 2005. Shot size, camerawork, shot duration and camera angle of the images were analysed, which had been extracted through the processes of thematic classification. The results of the analysis of thematic classification shows us that videojournalist covered mainly social, economic and cultural news items, almost completely alienated in the fields of hard news as political and health-scientific news items which were very sensitive and influential on the life of the entire people of the nation. The results of the analysis on the characteristics of image expression reveals that videojournalist used one-shot more often than the camera reporter, showing us videojournalist's preference of close news gathering, and videojournalist used following and zooming much more often than camera reporter, showing us videojoumalist's preference of mobile and dynamic cameraworks, and videojournalist used low angles more often than camera reporter, also showing us videojoumalist's preference of candid camera style news gathering.

파노라마 영상은 카메라의 동작을 고려하여 시공간적으로 영상을 정렬한 영상으로서 효과적으로 비디오 데이터를 표현할 수 있는 방법이다. 그러나 기존의 파노라마 영상 구성 기법들은 영상을 정렬할 때 오버랩(overlap)되는 화소값들을 단순히 미디언 필터링하기 때문에 시간의 경과에 따른 밝기값의 동적인 변화를 수용하지 못한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해 시간적으로 증가하는 가중치를 사용하여 영상을 통합함으로써 최근의 영상 정보를 충분히 반영하는 파노라마 영상 구성 방법을 제안한다.

영상이 포함하고 있는 풍부한 정보를 검출하고 이해하기 위해서는, 영상속의 일관된 상호관계를 갖는 영상 객체 그룹을 이해하고 표현하는 영상 구문 검출 기술(Visual Phrase Detecting Technology)이 필수적이다. 영상 구문 검출 기술은, 영상이 포함하고 있는 다양하고 풍부한 정보를 추출하고 활용하기 위한 핵심 기술로 이를 이용한 자동차 주행중 전방 감시, 영상의 자동 주석 달기, 동영상의 검색, 쇼핑 공간에서의 부정행위 검출(fraud detection) 등 다양한 분야에 적용할 수 있다.

In this paper, linear octree is used to reconstruct and to modify the 3-dimensional image from 2-dimensional cross sections provided by computed tomography. Linear octree introduces a considerable data saving of the memory storage required by small computer system. This structure allows the hidden surface removal utilizing the spatial presortedness of hierarchical octree structure and implementation of graphical operations that include viewing transform and shading. An actual human organ is used to illustrate this technique and its implications for theraphy and surgical planning.

The blur effect, which is generated by various external factors such as out-of-focus and object movement, degrades high-frequency components in the original sharp image. Based on this observation, we propose a novel method for blur detection using textural features. Specifically, the proposed method simultaneously adopts learning-based and watershed-based textural features, which effectively detect the blur on various situations. Moreover, we employ the region-based refinement to improve the processing time while also increasing detection accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method provides the competitive performance compared to previous approaches in literature.

There are two methods to express natural phenomena using image processing techniques. One is the presentation of simulations for natural phenomena and the other is the display of images based on script. A lot of people used to get the display using vast data and complicated math formulas. When we get the output images in this way, we will have some problems in time and cost. In this paper, we use fluid images excluding using the complicated math formulas, programming, and taking pictures to present the natural phenomena. We construct the library to express the natural phenomena effectively using 2D images and simulation of fog for the background of oriental painting in 3D space.

A new scheme for image compression based on texture expression in the wavelet transform domain is presented. After taking wavelet transform, using the fact that the high-pass filtered bands has a lower variance than that of the original, a texture expression for the homogeneous polygonal regions can be more efficiently performed in the wavelet transform domain. The estimated texture parameters are transmitted to the receiver and later used for reconstruction after storing in disk. In most cases, the proposed method has yields good results with respects to the compression ratio and reconstructed image quality when our system has compared to conventional SPIHT scheme.

In this paper, we proposed a new object tracking algorithm based on sparse representation to handle the drifting problem. In APG-L1(accelerated proximal gradient) tracking, the sparse representation is applied to model the appearance of object using linear combination of target templates and trivial templates with proper coefficients. Also, the particle filter based on affine transformation matrix is applied to find the location of object and APG method is used to minimize the l1-norm of sparse representation. In this paper, we make use of the trivial template coefficients actively to block the drifting problem. We experiment the various videos with diverse challenges and the result shows better performance than others.

This paper proposes an algorithm for the robust transmission of video in error Prone environment using multiple description codingby optimal split of DCT coefficients and rate-distortionoptimization framework. In MDC, a source signal is split Into several coded streams, which is called descriptions, and each description is transmitted to the decoder through different channel. Between descriptions, structured correlations are introduced at the encoder, and the decoder exploits this correlation to reconstruct the original signal even if some descriptions are missing. It has been shown that the MDC is more resilient than the singe description coding(SDC) against severe packet loss ratecondition. But the excessive redundancy in MDC, i.e., the correlation between the descriptions, degrades the RD performance under low PLR condition. To overcome this Problem of MDC, we propose a hybrid MDC method that controls the SDC/MDC switching according to channel condition. For example, the SDC is used for coding efficiency at low PLR condition and the MDC is used for the error resilience at high PLR condition. To control the SDC/MDC switching in the optimal way, RD optimization framework are used. Lagrange optimization technique minimizes the RD-based cost function, D+M, where R is the actually coded bit rate and D is the estimated distortion. The recursive optimal pet-pixel estimatetechnique is adopted to estimate accurate the decoder distortion. Experimental results show that the proposed optimal split of DCT coefficients and SD/MD switching algorithm is more effective than the conventional MU algorithms in low PLR conditions as well as In high PLR condition.
