In this paper we propose the digital information hiding technique by which we use the combination of random sequence and Hadamard matrix to hide multiple information. The prior work used only one random sequence multiplied by information signal to lower the energy level of information signal and thus it is difficult for a third party to detect the information signal or jam it. But because we have to use the orthogonal code for hiding key in order to hide multiple information in the same digital image, only the use of random sequence that are not uncorrelated has some problems in the information hiding scheme. Thus we present a new information hiding scheme that can be used in hiding multiple information by the use of random sequence that spreads the energy level of the data to be hidden and Hadamard matrix that makes the random sequence uncorrelated.

본 논문에서는 최근, 차세대 정보보호 기술로 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있는 디지털 정보은폐(Digital Information hiding) 기술과 광정보처리 기술을 상호 보완적으로 이용한 새로운 복합 광-디지털 다중 정보은폐 및 실시간 추출 시스템을 구현하였다. 즉, 디지털 기술을 이용한 다중 정보은폐에서는 확산코드간에 랜덤성과 직교성을 보장할 수 있는 새로운 코드로써 의사랜덤 코드(Pseudo random code)와 하다마드 행렬(Hadamard matrix)을 상호보완적으로 조합하여 만든 스테고 키(stego key)를 사용하였으며 이를 이용하여 임의의 커버영상(cover image)에 다중의 정보를 은폐시킬 수 있는 새로운 기법을 제시하였다. 이와 같은 방법으로 은폐된 정보는 정보 은폐시 사용된 스테고 키성분이 정확하게 일치될 경우에만 추출될 수 있으므로 불법 사용자가 무한히 발생시킬 수 있는 랜덤시퀀스를 정확하게 재생하는 것은 거의 불가능함으로 강한 비화성을 가지며, 하다마드 행렬의 직교성으로 서로 다른 확산코드간의 상관성이 발생하지 않기 때문에 에러 없는 은폐정보의 추출도 가능하다.

In this paper, we propose a new temporal error concealment method for recovery of video packet loss. Error concealment for each loss block is performed by temporal motion compensation and a smoothing operation of boundary pixels between the compensated block and its surrounding blocks. In the simulation results, performance improvement for the proposed technique is on the average 2 dB in comparison with the conventional technique.

The MPEG-2 video compressed bitstream is very sensitive to transmission errors due to the complex coding structure of the MPEG-2 video coding standard. If one packet is lost or received with errors, not only the current frame will be corrupted, but also errors will propagate to succeeding frames within a group of pictures. Therefore, we employ various error resilient coding/decoding techniques to protect and reduce the transmission error effects. Error concealment technique is one of them. Error concealment technique exploits spatial and temporal redundancies of the correctly received video data to conceal the corrupted video data. Motion vector recovery and compensation with the estimated motion vector is good approach to conceal the corrupted data. In this paper, we propose various error concealment algorithms based on motion vector recovery, and compare their performance to those of conventional error concealment methods.

Enhanced reconstruction of heavy occluded objects was represented using estimation of variance in computational integral imaging. The system is analyzed to extract information of enhanced reconstruction from an elemental images set. To obtain elemental images with enhanced resolution, low focus error, and large depth of focus, synthetic aperture integral imaging (SAII) utilizing a digital camera has been adopted. The focused areas of the reconstructed image are varied with the distance of the reconstruction plane. When an occluded object is occluded heavily, an occluded object can not be reconstructed by removing the occluding object. To obtain reconstruction of the occluded object by remedying the effect of heavy occlusion, the statistical technique has been adopted.

In this paper, we present an identificable face (n face) detection method robust to color degradation and partial veiling. This method is composed of three parts: segmentation of face candidate regions, extraction of face candidate windows, and decision of veiling. In the segmentation of face candidate regions, face candidate regions are detected by finding skin color regions and facial components such as eyes, a nose and a mouth, which may have degraded colors, from an input image. In the extraction of face candidate windows, face candidate windows which have high potentials of faces are extracted in face candidate regions. In the decision of veiling, using an eigenface method, a face candidate window whose similarity with eigenfaces is maximum is determined and whether facial components of the face candidate window are veiled or not is determined in the similar way. Experimental results show that the proposed method yields better the detection rate by about $11.4\%$ in test DB containing color-degraded faces and veiled ones than a conventional method without considering color degradation and partial veiling.

The purpose of this study is to examine the associations between social support, self-esteem, self-concealment, and depression among college students. The mediating effects of self-concealment and gender differences in the associations were also examined. This study investigated these relationships and the gender differences using structural equation modeling multi-group analysis. The data collected from 307 college students in Daegu and Gyeongbuk areas were analyzed. The results indicated that both social support and self-esteem had effects on depression indirectly through self-concealment, and self-esteem also had direct effects on depression. The indirect effects of self-concealment were statistically significant. There were no gender differences in these relationships. These results suggest that self-concealment should be focused to prevent or alleviate depression among college students.

The prevailing infrastructure of ubiquitous computing paradigm on the one hand making significant development for integrating technology in the daily life but on the other hand raising concerns for privacy and confidentiality. This research presents a new privacy-preserving spatio-temporal query processing technique, in which location based services (LBS) can be serviced without revealing specific locations of private users. Existing location cloaking techniques are based on a grid-based structures such as a Quad-tree and a multi-layered grid. Grid-based approaches can suffer a deterioration of the quality in query results since they are based on pre-defined size of grids which cannot be adapted for variations of data distributions. Instead of using a grid, we propose a location-cloaking algorithm which uses the R-tree, a widely adopted spatio-temporal index structure. The proposed algorithm uses the MBRs of leaf nodes as the cloaked locations of users, since each leaf node guarantees having not less than a certain number of objects. Experimental results show the superiority of the proposed method.

This study examined the role of trait anxiety in the relationships among academic contingencies of self-worth, self-esteem, academic help-seeking, and academic concealment. The participants were 254 male and female undergraduate students, and the analyses were conducted using PASW 18.0. The results were as follows. Anxiety was confirmed to be a mediating variable between the academic contingencies of self-worth, self-esteem, and academic concealment. That is, the academic contingencies of self-worth and self-esteem had an effect on academic concealment through anxiety. On the other hand, the academic contingencies of self-worth had a positive effect on anxiety. On the other hand, self-esteem had a negative effect on anxiety. The need to develop education and counseling approaches as a special intervention is discussed. The approaches are meant to reduce the academic self-worth and anxiety. In addition, it is important to promote self-esteem in education and counseling. The limitations and implication for further study are suggested.
