The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of North Korea defectors' living experiences in South Korea on their self-perceptions and perceptions of South Korea. For this purpose, a questionnaire was distributed to 66 defectors with no living experiences at all and 99 defectors with living experiences of an average of 2.7 years in South Korea. They were asked to rate their own as well as South Koreans' values, personality, attitudes toward sexual misbehavior, gender stereotypes. Also, they evaluated the society of South Korea and its political control. The results indicated that those defectors with living experiences tended to perceive more negatively their own and South Koreans as well, and yet that they were less negative for sexual misbehavior and weaker for gender stereotypes. Also, results suggested that living experiences led defectors to perceive South Korea in a more negative way. Those findings were discussed in terms of changes in culture.

A new classification method and recognition algorithms for printed Korean and Chinese character is studied for Korean text which contains both Korean and Chinese characters. The proposed method utilizes structural features of the vertical and horizontal vowel in Korean character. Korean characters are classified into 6 groups. Vowel and consonant are separated by means of different vowel extraction methods applied to each group. Time consuming thinning process is excluded. A modified crossing distance feature is measured to recognize extracted consonant. For Chinese character, an average of stroke crossing number is calculated on every characters, which allows the characters to be classified into several groups. A recognition process is then followed in terms of the stroke crossing number and the black dot rate of character. Classification between Korean and Chinese character was at the rate of 90.5%, and classification rate of Ming-style 2512 Korean characters was 90.0%. The recognition algorithm was applied on 1278 characters. The recognition rate was 92.2%. The densest class after classification of 4585 Chinese characters was found to contain only 124 characters, only 1/40 of total numbers. The recognition rate was 89.2%.

As firms increase their operations in the international arena, there is a growing need for managers to understand cross-cultural issues in adopting information systems(IS). The present study surveyed IS developers with respect to their perceptions on the importance of various criteria for successful development of information systems. The results indicated that developers perceive criteria related to the organizational and systems level to be more important than criteria on the strategic and user level. In addition, the developers perceive immediate/direct criteria as more important that indirect/long term criteria. The current study found little differences between developers working for innovative versus those working for non-innovative companies with respect to their views on the importance of various success criteria. There were also very little differences in the perceptions of IS developers at different hierarchical ranks.

There has been a change in the South Korean policy towards the North which in turn changed the news frame of television broadcasters in South Korea. We did an empirical analysis of how this changed news frame influence the audiences' perception of North Korea and Unification. An experimental design was carried out in order to test the response of the audiences to different news frame. The results show that the respondents' perception towards North Korea were changed when exposed to a specific type of new frame. This confirms the existing knowledge on how news frame influence the perception of TV viewers. This research can serve as background information when making decisions to how the South Korean news media should report North Korea and Unification related news stories.

The purpose of this study was to explore visitors' experiences based on two different types of ecological sites: natural and artificial ecological sites. Specifically, this study aimed to analyze the differences in the perceived experiences and satisfaction according to the perception of the visitors to the ecological sites. First, the analysis of measurement factors of visitor experience perception identified four factors such as ecological experience, environment friendliness, sociality, and relaxation. The comparison of perception according to the factor of visitor experience showed that there were significant differences between natural and artificial ecological sites and that the perceived visitor experience was generally higher in the natural ecological sites. The result of the analysis of the influence of the perceived visitor experience to ecological sites on visitor experience showed the relaxation had the largest influence for both natural and artificial ecological sites. The ecological experience and environmental friendliness also had a significant impact on visitor satisfaction in the natural ecological sites and artificial ecological sites, respectively. This paper also discussed the implications for planning and management issues at ecological sites.

Recently, the size and location of the acquired container image while the container is loading and unloading in Harbors is not fixed. And it is difficult to get a good image for recognition because of the variation of external environment as those the size of container and where the yard-tractor stop is. In this paper, we estimate where the container ISO-code set is using Top-hat transform from realtime images and get an image to recognize container ISO-code using PAN/TILT/ZOOM camera. We extract the container ISO-code using Top-hat transform and Histogram projection. After binarization, we extract each character from complex background using labeling. We use BP(Backpropagation Network) to recognize extracted characters.

운전자의 시인성, 뇌파, 심리평가를 위한 실내 실험실 및 측정 시스템을 구축하고 예비실험 결과를 분석한 후 운전자의 시인성을 측정하였다. 본 실험을 위하여 남, 녀 각각 20명의 피험자를 선발하였으며 이들의 연령은 피험자의 연령에 의한 측정오차를 최소화하기 위하여 모두 20대로 제한하였다. 그리고 본 실험 측정결과를 전압패턴에 따라 피험자의 장애물 인식 반응속도를 분석하였고, 남-녀 성별 간의 장애물 인식 반응속도 차이를 분석하였다. 또한 전조등의 전압변동에 의한 밝기 비율에 따라서 피험자의 장애물 인식 반응속도를 분석하였고, 전압변동이 없을 때의 장애물 인식 반응속도를 기준으로 상대적인 장애물 인식 지연시간을 분석하였다.

지문자는 청각장애인이 사용하는 수화로 표현하지 못하는 한글 문자를 알파벳으로 표시하기위한 손 제스처이다. 본 논문에서는 추출된 손 영역의 무게 중심과 퍼지 논리를 이용하여 지문자를 인식하는 알고리즘을 제안하고, 한글 문자를 표현하는 시스템을 개발한다. USB 카메라로부터 얻어진 영상에서 히스토그램을 이용하여 손의 피부색 영역을 추출하고, 영상 마스크를 이용하여 피부색이 아닌 배경 영역을 제거한다. 문턱 값을 사용하여 얻어진 이진화된 영상에서 손의 영역을 검출하고, 무게 중심을 이용하여 손 중심과 손가락 끝의 거리를 측정한다. 얻어진 거리 정보에 퍼지 기법을 적용하여 손가락의 굽힘 정도를 판단하고, 손 모양 데이터베이스에서 손가락 굽힘 정도와 가장 근사한 한글 문자를 선택한다.

지능형 영상감시에 대한 연구와 개발이 가속화되면서, 화재감시에 대한 예방 및 경보시스템 또한 빠른 속도로 발전하고 있다. 그러나, 기존시스템은 화재에 대한 감시기능에만 국한되어 있어, 기능으로써의 한계점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기위해, 본 논문에서는 화재와 보행자를 검출하여, 초기대응 및 화재원인에 대한 정보를 제공하며, 보행자에 대한 안전을 최대한 보장할 수 있는 화재현장 보행자 인식을 통한 지능형 영상인식 시스템을 설계하였다.

각종 건설 현장에서 안전모 미착용은 주된 위험 요인 중 하나이다. 현장에서 관리자가 직접 작업자들의 안전모 착용 여부를 감독할 수 있지만 관리자가 항상 관리가 가능한 장소에 있어야 하는 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 안전모 착용 여부를 딥러닝 기반으로 인식하여 건설 현장에서의 안전 관리를 할 수 있도록 하는 시스템을 제안한다. 이를 위해 대표적인 객체 인식 알고리즘인 YOLO를 사용하여 현장에서의 안전모 착용 여부를 인식한다. 다음으로는 인식된 결과를 바탕으로 위험 상황을 판단하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템을 활용하면 효율적으로 건설 현장의 위험 상황을 관리할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
