Hwaseong serial murders are not now having any significant concern either with Hwaseong City or Dongtan New Town, a region in Hwaseong City, both spatial and temporal manners. However, despite that, people have come to see Hwaseong City with negative ideas as the mass media drove the people to do so. In this study, how films and newspaper articles have created those negative images of Hwaseong City was investigated and afterwards, residents and students living in Dongtan New Town had interviews on what they think about the negative regional images. The study, then, worked on a mental map and others based on what it learned from the interviews. Regional identity confusion is now being discovered out of the people's resistance against the negative images of the city and through such research process described before, the study discussed this regional identity confusion caused by living as residents in Hwaseong and living as residents in Dongtan New Town. In addition, the study revealed sense of place of Dongtan New Town and aspects of the regional identity confusion with this Dongtan New Town growing both with symbolic meanings as a place of murders, an awful crime, and spatial meanings as another place of dynamic developments and improvements.

This study is to consider the geographical images of Nakdong River region represented in the Modern Poetry. The findings are as follows. First, the change aspect of the poetry around Nakdong River area shows the social phenomenon of population movement, economic deprivation symptoms, the Korean War, economic development plans, the industrialization and spatial inequalities, environmental problems and environmental poetry, and various environmental issues, etc. Second, the poetry about Nakdong River can be classified by geographical area, showing a humanistic geographical image of the sense of place, natural geographical images about geomorphology and climate, and regional development and environmental pollution. Finally, the large number of poetry describes the beautiful terrain and the sense of place of poet, among ones targeting the upsteam of Nakdong River. The one in middle and downstream areas, however, reflected the reality and was social criticism mostly. This is because that, compares to the upstream, many large cities are distributed in the downstream area and the river becomes increasingly contaminated as it flows to the downstream.

Place recognition for LBS (Location Based Service) has been one of the important techniques for user-oriented service. FLANN (Fast Library for performing Approximate Nearest Neighbor) of place recognition with image features is fast, but it is affected much by environmental condition such as occlusions. This paper presents a place recognition method using quad vocabulary tree with SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features). In learning stage, an image is represented with spatial pyramid of three levels and vocabulary trees of their sub-regions are constructed. Query image is matched with the learned vocabulary trees in each level. The proposed method measures homography error of the matched features. By considering the number of inliers in sub-region, we can improve place recognition performance.

This paper aims to examine the ways in which the Singaporean government has promoted the "global city" imaging strategy as a means for marketing Singapore. Since the 1990s, Singapore has pursued a place-marketing strategy that aims at imaging itself as a "creative", "culturally vibrant" and "cosmopolitan" global city by utilizing various cultural, tourist and spatial policy measures. It argues that the Singaporean government has promoted this particular imaging strategy under a broader economic resoucturing program, aiming at transforming the Singapore's economy into a "knowledge-driven" one, under which the attraction of international knowledge workers is seen as crucial for the competitiveness and innovation. This paper also discusses the limitations of this strategy, focusing on growing tensions between the global and the local in the Singaporean society and the ways in which the authoritarian and top-down nature of governance have restricted the genuine development of the "culturally vibrant" environment in Singapore.

Media like TV programs and movies has deeply rooted in the public and it can supply affluent informations on special tourist attractions during short time relatively. Media can make the image of special objects and destinations recreated and viewers induced to the special places. Because of these positive effects, many countries and self governing bodies having tried place marketing through media have done their best to raise the image of their tourist attractions and induce a visit. So, most of studies about the effect relations between media and tourist attractions have been done about the confirmation of the impact relation between media and the image raising of tourist attractions and between media and the tourists's visit inducement. This study reconfirms the results of the existing studies and confirms whether the difference of media program genre causes that of the impact relation between media and the image raising of tourist attractions and between media and the tourists's visit inducement. In order to confirm these purposes, 3 assumptions are established and are proved through statistical analyses based on a questionnaire. According to the results of these analyses, all of 3 established assumptions : assumption 1, the impact relation between media program genres and the image of tourist attraction, assumption 2, the impact relation between the image of tourist attractions and behavior intention, and assumption 3, the impact relation between media program genres and behavior intention, are partly accepted.

Transition from mass tourism to post tourism is closely related with developing various types of cultural tourism. This study attempts to construct a conceptual framework of the development of cultural tourism through identifying the existing development stages of cultural tourism sites from birth to full development. This study clarifies that there exists an organic system among tourism, cultural activities and the production of cultural artifacts. It also found that development of cultural tourism sites goes through the following three stages: positioning and building place image, hard branding, and constructing local system. This study analyzes several key elements for respective of stages, which proved helpful in understanding the development mechanism of cultural tourism sites. It also tries to analyze tourism from an integrated, geographical perspective. The analysis gives us an understanding to the relations between tourism and various aspects of regional society and economy, thus contributing to the development of a system that will lead to active interchanges among those factors. Most of the theoretical background of this study: place identity, place image, activity space, local system and network are based on the concepts and ideas of human geography.

비디오 데이터의 지능적인 처리를 위해서는 사전에 작성한 메타데이터에 제한 받지 않는 유연한 접근방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 엔트로피를 이용하여 적절한 특징을 추출한 후 비디오를 처리하는 방법을 소개한다. 이미지 인식이 잘 될 경우 일정한 이미지 조합으로 비디오의 배경을 설명할 수 있지만, 이미지 인식이 어렵기 때문에 동일한 배경일지라도 등장 인물의 움직임, 촬영 각도의 변화 등 사소한 변화가 발생하면 컴퓨터는 다른 이미지인 것으로 간주하게 된다. 우리가 제안하는 방법은 비디오를 구성하는 이미지 프레임에서 추출한 SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) 특성의 분포를 엔트로피에 기반하여 재구성한 후 분포 변화를 통해 장소 변화를 추정하는 방법이다. 제안 방법은 비디오 데이터의 이미지를 특징 짓는 비주얼 워드의 분포를 활용하기 때문에 사소한 변화 정도의 영향을 받지 않으면서 동시에 배경의 확연한 변화를 나타낼 수 있다. 우리는 실제 TV 드라마 데이터에 적용하여 제안 방법의 유용성을 확인하였다.

우리가 사용하는 이미지뷰어프로그램은 정보전달에만 치중되어 있고 감성적인 부분이 차지하는 바가 적다. 또한 사람들에게 디지털카메라로 찍은 사진들을 보는 것은 많은 과정을 필요로 하고 큰 노력을 요한다. 게다가 다른 사용자들과 즉각적으로 공유하기도 힘들다. 이 같은 문제점들을 해결하는 새로운 이미지뷰어인터페이스를 제안해본다. 기존의 이미지뷰어프로그램들을 분석하고 그에 대한 결과와 문제점을 찾은 후 새로운 디자인 키워드를 제시하였다. 단순함(Simplicity), 즉각성(Instancy), 공유(Sharing), 감성(Sensitivity) 이렇게 네 가지 키워드이다. 사진(Picture)은 이미 지나간 과거이다. 이러한 사진의 시간개념을 Timeline 에 적용하고, 이를 원(Circle)이라는 모양으로 나타내어 사진을 볼 수 있게 하였다. 원이라는 새로운 형태의 인터페이스는 사진을 보다 쉽고 즉각적으로 공유할 수 있다. 데모버젼으로서 매크로미디어 플래시 액션스크립트로 프로그램을 하고 파워메이트(Powermate)를 장치(Device)로 사용하여 시연하였다. 이 인터페이스는 사람들이 쉽게 접할 수 있는 장소면 아무 곳이나 설치가 가능하다. 카페나 회의장소에서 가장 적합하게 어울릴 것이다. 사용자는 다른 이들과 함께 즉각적으로 간단한 방법으로 함께 감성을 나눌 수 있다. 새로운 인터페이스디자인이 사람들에게 쉽게 인지되어, 보다 편리하게 이미지를 확인할 수 있는 가능성을 제시한다.

파노라마 가상현실이란 특정 장소의 경험을 재현하는 방식으로, 현실 세계의 장소에 직접 가보지 않고 가상 현실 속의 사물이나 정보를 보다 쉽고 빠르게 탐색하고 습득 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는, 우리는 이상적인 키 포인트를 탐지하는 동적 프로그래밍을 사용하여 함께 이 지점과 인접한 이미지를 병합하고, 부드러운 색상 전환을 위해 이미지를 혼합하는데 사용된다. FAST와 SURF 탐지는 이미지의 확실한 특징을 찾는데 사용되고, 가장 가까운 이웃 알고리즘은 해당되는 특징을 일치시키는데 사용되며, RANSAC을 사용하여 일치하는 키 포인트를 homography로 판단한다. 이러한 방법으로 이미지를 자동 선택하여 스티칭하는 방법을 사용한다.
