In this research, it was examined whether the importance of value of self(i.e., self-referenced values) and the perceived importance of values of average Koreans(i.e., culture-referenced values) differ according to social class. In Study 1, differences in the importance of self-referenced values according to the social class of 1,140 adults aged over 19 years old were examined using Korean data from the World Values Survey. Findings showed that higher social class was associated with higher levels of Hedonism (which belongs to the individualistic value domain) and Benevolence, and lower levels of Tradition (which belongs to the collectivistic value domain) and Universalism. In Study 2, culture-referent questionnaires were added to examine the differences in self-referenced values and culture-referenced values according to social class. Findings showed that higher social class was associated with greater importance attached to individualistic value domain (namely, Power and Achievement), and as a result of Study 1, less importance attached to Benevolence towards the self. On the contrary, for culture-referent ratings, higher social class was associated with lower perceptions of the importance of individualistic value domain (namely, Self-direction and Hedonism) and greater importance attached to Tradition (which belongs to the collectivistic value domain) for average Koreans. These results suggest that the importance of self-referenced values and culture-referenced values differ by social class. The need for social class research taking into account culture and the importance of the culture-referent ratings is highlighted. Future directions for research are discussed.

In this paper, wavelet based blind watermarking using self-reference method is proposed. First, we process wavelet transform of original image. Then, we set all domain except for the low-frequency domain to zero and make self-reference image after wavelet reverse transformation. By choosing specific domain according to the pixel value difference between original image and self-reference image, we make random sequence, use as watermark and embed. The experimental results of the watermark embedding and extraction on various images show that the proposed scheme not only has good image quality, but also has stability on JPEG lossy compression, filtering, sharpening, blurring and noise.

데이터에 삽입되어 있는 워터마크를 제거하려는 공격기법이 점차 발전되면서 여러 가지 워터마킹 알고리즘이 등장하게 된다. 보통 워터마크를 제거하기 위해서는 워터마크 신호의 동기를 제거하는 동기-제거(De-Syncronization) 공격 방법을 이용한다. 이런 공격에 대처하기 위한 워터마킹 방법으로는 세 가지로 분류할 수 있는데, 공격에 영향을 받지 않는 영역(invariant domain)에 워터마크를 삽입하는 방법, 템플릿(template)을 이용한 방법, 자기 참조(self-reference)를 이용한 기법 등이 있다. 본 논문에서는 공간 영역에서의 자기 참조 워터마킹 방법을 소개하고, 이에 적합한 메시지를 삽입하고 검출하는 방법에 대해 제안한다. 삽입하려는 메시지와 Reed-solomon Code를 이용하여 만든 부가적인 정보를 QOS(Quasi-orthogonal sequences)방법과 DSSS를 이용하여 만든 다음 키 값을 이용하여 뒤섞으면 워터마킹 블록을 자기 참조 워터마킹 방법으로 영상에 삽입하게 된다. 그 결과 일반적 필터링 공격에는 95% 이상 검출됐고, JPEG 압축 파라미터 60에서도 97% 이상 검출되었다.

This review aims to propose a model that can reinterpret the abnormal and functional connections between cognitive processes and emotional regulations based on the neurocognitive networks for a comprehensive understanding of pathologic processes and treatment approach of depression and anxiety disorder. Through the processes of rebuilding the network model for depression and anxiety disorder, it was confirmed that depression can be said to be 'over-immersion in self-referencing' due to hyper-activation of default mode network (DMN), and anxiety disorders to be 'disconnection with self-referencing' due to hypo-activation of DMN. The attempts to link up between abnormal activation and pathological function of DMN which is thought to be involved in self-referential processing associated with self-consciousness and projection among neurocognitive networks may be another starting point that can afford to be suggestive in integrated interpretation and therapeutic approach to depression and anxiety disorder.

In this paper, we present a non-dyadic lens distortion correction model and image restoration method based on local self-similarity to remove jagging and blurring artifacts in the peripheral region of the geometrically corrected image. The proposed method can be applied in various application areas including vehicle real-view cameras, visual surveillance systems, and medical imaging systems.

For an unbiased TF (Tansfer Function) estimations we investigate geomagnetic TF derived from ICHEON and YONGIN sites, employing RR (Remote Reference) and SNS (Signal Noise Separation) techniques. The Rh technique, which requires synchronized field variations recorded at a clean remote site, is a reliable method to minimize the bias of TF by uncorrelated noises in magnetic channels. Meanwhile, SNS technique based on the assumption of noise-free remote data can improve the signal-noise level by separating signal TF and noise TF, which is successfully applied to the environments with strong correlated noises. In this study, TF at YONGIN is analyzed using geomagnetic data from ICHEON site as a remote reference, which seem to have somewhat better data quality. The application of Rh technique reduces the bias of TF, which appears in single site robust estimation, and makes curves in the amplitude and phase of TF more smooth as frequency. Futhermore, in order to investigate noise source quantitatively, SNS technique is applied. The results of SNS suggest that dominant noise source seems to be located at western region of YONGIN. This noise source is considered to originate from railway system such as KTX and national subway. which passes through the west regions of YONGIN.

최근 세계적 주목을 받고 있는 spin FET 소자는 반도체에 주입된 spin 편향된 전자가 gate voltage(V$_{G}$)에 의해 반도체 계면에 유도된 전기장의 영향을 받아, Spin 세차운동을 하는 mechanism(Rashba 효과)이 근간을 이루고 있다. 작은 band gap을 가지는 반도체(narrow gap 반도체)는 작은 유효질량의 전자에 의해서 이러한 Rashba 효과를 크게 할 수 있어서, spin FET 구현을 위한 강력한 후보이며, 요즘 한창 연구되고 있는 주제이기도 하다. Rashba 효과가 저자기장 영역에서의 weak antilocalization효과로 나타남을 이용하여, 본 논문에서는 metal gate가 형성된 HgCdTe FET를 제작하여(FET1 시료, Fig. 1(a)참조), V$_{G}$에 따른 weak localization(WL) 및 weak antilocalization(WAL) 효과를 얻었다. 또한, Rashba 효과에 의한 spin 세차운동을 측정할 수 있는 소자(FET3 시료, Fig.1(b) 참조)를 제작하여 spin FET 구조에 대하여 연구하였다.

다양한 미디어 서비스의 발전으로 비디오의 방대한 데이터를 효과적으로 압축할 수 있는 비디오 부호화 표준은 지속적인 발전을 하고 있다. 압축된 데이터를 다시 영상으로 복원하는 비디오 부복호화 과정에서 영상 데이터의 손실이 일어나고 그에 따른 다양한 형태의 열화가 나타나 영상의 화질을 저하한다. 이러한 열화들을 제거하여 원본 이미지에 가깝게 만들기 위해서 인루프 필터 과정을 비디오 부호화 표준에서 포함하고 있다. 이에 최근 영상처리 및 컴퓨터 비전 분야에서는 널리 사용되는 인공 신경망을 적용하여 효과적인 필터링을 하는 방법을 제시한다. 본 논문에서는 비디오 부호화 시 인루프 필터링에서 자기 참조를 통한 화질 개선 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 트랜스포머 기반의 화질 개선 네트워크를 제안하고 기존 부호화 방법과 비교하였다. 인루프 필터링을 통해 화질을 향상하여 주관적 화질을 개선할 뿐만 아니라 객관적 부호화 효율을 증가시키는 방법을 개발하였다.

A look-up table based vector adaptive filter is proposed in color inverse halftoning. Inverse halftoning converts halftone image into a continuous-tone image. The templates and training images are required in the process of look-up table based methods, which can be obtained from distributed patterns in the sample halftone images and their original images. Although the look-up table based methods usually are faster and show better performances in PSNR than other methods do, they show wide range of qualities depending on how they treat nonexisting patterns in the look-up table. In this paper, a vector adaptive filter is proposed to compensate for these nonexisting patterns, which achieves better quality owing to the contributed informations about hue, saturation, and intensity of surrounding pixels. The experimental results showed that the proposed method resulted in higher PSNR than that of conventional Best Linear Estimation method. The bigger the size of the template in the look-up table becomes, the more outstanding quality in the proposed method can be obtained.
