Argument on the postmodernism of philosophy and history, epic and effect, and culture and art is becoming more ambiguous in scope due to digital technology development. Digital technology makes to change of aesthetic approach over the length and breadth of art and culture including medium art. Analysis of Digital images is changed from presence of images to feature analysis of images which is made by digital technology, and raise the question of how to analyze the images of reproducing digital technology focused on realism. Digital image, focused on hyper reality, should be approached not by film aesthetic approach but by shot unit. Due to emphasizes image reality reproduction by frame unit and not the short unit of the narrative approach, the artistic approach should differ from previous realism practice. Particularly, when considering movies which is focused on illusion, the realistic approach should be realized not in the of realistic approach in narrative aspect but in the aspect of realistic approach in painting aspect.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine ontology of digital photo image based on a Simulacre concept of Gilles Deleuze & Jean Baudrillard. Traditionally, analog image follows the logic of reproduction with a similarity with original target. Therefore, visual reality of analog image is illuminated, interpreted, and described in a subjective viewpoint, but does not deviate from the interpreted reality. However, digital image does not exist physically but exists as information that is made of mathematical data, a digital algorithm. This digital image is that newness of every reproduction, that is, essence of subject 'once existing there' does not exist anymore, and does not instruct or reproduce an outside target. Therefore, digital image does not have the similarity and does not keep the index instruction ability anymore. It means that this digital image is converted into a virtual area, and this is not reproduction of already existing but display of not existing yet. This not-being of digital image changes understanding of reality, existence, and imagination. Now, dividing it into reality and imagination itself is meaningless, and this does not make digital image with technical improvement but is a new image that is basically completely different from existing image. Eventually, digital image of the day passes step to visualize an existent target, nonexistent things have been visualized, and reality operates virtually. It means that digital image does not reproduce our reality but reproduces other reality realistically. In other words, it is a virtual reproduction producing an image that is not related to a target, that is to say Simulacre. In the virtually simulated world, reality has an infinite possibility, and it is not a picture of the past and present and has a possibility as the infinite virtual that is not fixed, is infinitely mutable, and is not actualized yet.

최근 심미적인 보철 치료에 대한 사람들의 관심이 높아짐에 따라 자연치와 더욱 조화롭게 보철 치료를 하는 것이 요구되고 있다. 이는 구조적인 심미성과 함께 자연스러운 색조 재현을 통하여 이루어지는데, 자연치의 색조는 매우 다양하고 부위별로 달라질 수 있기 때문에 단순히 shade guide상의 비교만으로는 정확한 색조를 얻기가 어렵다. 이러한 색조 선택의 부정확성 때문에 객관적으로 색조를 분석하는 많은 기계적 장치들이 고안되었고, 최근에 ShadeScan system(CYNOVAD, Canada), Vita Easyshade system(Vident, Canada) 등 디지털로 색조를 평가하는 시스템이 각광을 받고 있다. ShadeScan system은 한 번의 클릭으로 치아 이미지를 채득할 수 있고, 바로 컴퓨터를 통해서 이를 분석하여 원하는 shade map, translucency map 등을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 세 방향에서 조사되는 빛은 자체 calibration을 거쳤기 때문에 주변 광원이나 환경의 영향 없이 객관적으로 치아의 이미지를 채득할 수 있다고 한다. 사실 그 동안 이미지 채득이 객관적이라고 주장하는 많은 system이 있었지만 임상의들은 그 신뢰성에대해 의구심을 보였던 것이 사실이다. 이에 본고에서는 ShadeScan system이 반복 촬영 시 같은 색조재현을 할 수 있는지 실험하여 그 객관성에 대해 살펴보았다.

Animation documentary is a hybrid genre that is newly highlighted with opposite properties. The actual world is reproduced with an unrealistic method in documentary aspect, but the objectivity of documentaries cannot be guaranteed as the boundary of actual pictures and digital images has become ambiguous. As the animation documentary by Ari Folman succeeded in 2008, the focus of this study is on 'how can fictional animations prove the authenticity of documentaries?' in which the study is mainly conducted in documentary aspect. For this, the researcher considers visual style research has important role in understanding and developing a new video genre, and asserts the necessity of research on reproduction image that is produced by the characteristics of animation which is produced in frame units. This paper has contents on the visual style of animation documentaries with pictorial reproduction methods in which animation images were classified into 3 styles based on previous research on animation documentary style. Visual styles are classified into actual image that is based on similarity with reality to deliver objective facts, image that is transformed through emphasis and omission which are factors of animations, and surrealistic image that reproduces non-visual regions such as illusions and the inner side of characters. Through this study that analyzes visual style types and characteristics, animation documentaries are expected to position as a hybrid genre that illustrates reality with a new method instead of being included in the existing reproduction method of documentaries.

Study about existence of illusion which human beings feel from imitated image based reality have been continuing by copy theory and conventionalism for a long time. Traditional copy theory which had controlled representation theory from plato have explained illusion by similarity of image and representation objects. According to copy theory, image is natural sign unlike language but the late in the 20th century, conventionalism from N, Goodman insists they are not any special similarity between image and representation objects. They insist image and conventional sign just as language. These opposit theory rearranged conventionalism by the entrance on the cognitive science. The copy theory couldn't explain the problem of representational gap between reality and duplication, but photo media makes new paradigm about theory of the illusion. The problem of representational gap was disappeared by CGI images on the base of digital media. We are exposed exquisite duplication for a example, movie, advertisement, printings. Sometimes duplications are more real than the original works. Digital is a non-material object by 0 and 1. Specially real lighting skill and mechanism are copied perfectly by photon mapping skills and the duplications are produced more real than the original works. By disappearance of representational gap, we need new theory model for explaining of digital illusion and copy theory can be the key.

The film has always reflected the culture of the era based on reality and imagination. The visual effect in the film has mainly played a role of expressing the reality more realistically or recognizing the virtual as reality. This study examines the meaning and the effect of fantasy realism through Oasis of Lee Chang-dong. Fantastic realism has separated the reality from the imaginary space by using a dual meaning tool that affects the time and space in the film and reflects the human desire and desire to see. It was also reproduced in the real world through the medium of pigeons. In addition, it separates visualized space from non-visualized space in film narrative structure, separation of real and unreal space, segregation of consciousness and unconscious space, and separation of reality and reality space into power structure. With the development of technology, the image of the yellow image comes closer to us like reality, which will express the space of unconsciousness that we could not think of.

This study attempted to understand the characteristics of images of scientific experiments represented and consumed on YouTube, a representative of today's new media. In particular, this paper analyzes the case studies of YouTube's hydrogen peroxide decomposition experiment based on Baudrillard's theory of Simulation and Simulacra, which discusses the strong status of images and the ambiguity of the boundary between virtual and reality. A total of 14 YouTube videos related to hydrogen peroxide decomposition experiments were analyzed. In those videos, hydrogen peroxide decomposition experiments were typically conducted with several signs representing scientific experiments, but the most important sign in the videos were bubbles produced through experiments. For more public consumption of the content, the bubbles resulted from hydrogen peroxide decomposition reproduced in YouTube have been transformed into a more spectacular image as 'super-huge' and 'explosive' bubble. Considering the influence of new media that can be accessed by students anytime and anywhere, it is positive that science experiments in new media enhance students' intimacy and access to science. At the same time, however, it is also important to note the danger that the purpose of scientific experiments will be limited to only 'showing specular images', due to the nature of new media, which mainly deals with immediate and superficial images. Furthermore, this study argues that improving students' science media literacy is required to critically examine the science-related images represented in the new media based on understanding the characteristics and limitations of new media that deeply affect daily life.

Animation is showing the highest record in entertainment around the world and writing the history of 3D animation again. The image contents effect thanks to the proper introduction of the state-of-art digital technology, which is one of the causes of the outstanding entertainment and the factual reproduction of the images, provided an opportunity to transmit the meaning of image aesthetics, which is a virtual reality and image reproduction through the reality realization of photo medium, and to reinterpret the boundary of virtual reality. Especially, the development of digital contents technology due to scientific technologies demolishes the boundary of virtual reality and reality and creates the effect of making viewers be absorbed by realizing the virtual reality by means of 3D reality images which highlight the special characteristic of photos. The aspect of the contents technology and image aesthetics which can be interpreted in a view point beyond the existing concept of reality is found in the aura theory of Benjamin and in the Simulacres of Baudrillard. The 3D image by photo-reality herein presents various suggestions in the aspect of real existence of spatial expression, the meaning creation process of reality, the existence value of virtual images.

This study aims to examine the representations of elders in reality shows focusing on gender disparity by employing a textual analysis and audience interviews. According to findings, as for elderly men, various images are presented while as for elderly women, traditional gender images are mainly reproduced. In the audience reception, the audiences' understanding of genres and their preexisting gender perceptions have important roles on their interpretations in the ways of producing gender discriminated meanings.

기존의 웹 이미지 검색 시스템들은 웹 페이지에 포함된 텍스트들의 출현빈도, 태그유형 등을 고려해 각 키워드들의 중요도를 평가하고 이를 이용해 이미지의 캡션을 결정한다. 하지만 텍스트 정보만으로 캡션을 결정할 경우, 키워드와 이미지 사이의 관련성을 평가할 수 없어 부적절한 캡션의 배제가 어렵고, 사람의 인지와 맞지 않는 캡션이 추출되는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 웹 이미지 마이닝 방법을 통해 웹 페이지로부터 캡션 후보 키워드를 추출하고, 자동 이미지 주석 방법을 통해 이미지의 개념 부류 키워드를 결정한 후, 두 종류의 키워드를 결할하여 캡션을 선택한다. 가능한 결합 방법으로는 키워드 병합 방법, 공통 키워드 추출 방법, 개념 부류 필터링 방범 캡션 후보 필터링 방법 등이 있다. 실험에 의하면 키워드 병합 방법은 높은 재현율을 가져 이미지에 대한 다양한 주석이 가능하고 공통 키워드 추출 방법과 개넘 부류 키워드 필터링 방법은 정확률이 높아 이미지에 대한 정확한 기술이 가능하다. 특히, 캡션 후보 키워드 필터링 방법은 기존의 방법에 비해 우수한 재현율과 정확률을 가지므로 기존의 방법에 비해 적은 개수의 캡션으로도 이미지를 정확하게 기술할 수 있으며 일반적인 웹 이미지 검색 시스템에 적용할 경우 효과적인 방법이다.
