This paper presents a SFF(shape from focus) algorithm using a new focus measure based on higher order statistics for the exact depth estimation. Since conventional SFF-based 3D depth reconstruction algorithms used SML(sum of modified Laplacian) as the focus measure, their performance is strongly depended on the image characteristics. These are efficient only for the rich texture and well focused images. Therefore, this paper adopts a new focus measure using HOS(higher order statistics), in order to extract the focus value for relatively poor texture and focused images. The initial best focus area map is generated by the measure. Thereafter, the area refinement, thinning, and corner detection methods are successively applied for the extraction of the locally best focus points. Finally, a 3D model from the carefully selected points is reconstructed by Delaunay triangulation.

In this paper, we present a morphosyntactic and semantic study of the concessive conjunctive phrase [todavía que] in the Andean and River Plate areas of Latin America. Real Academia $Espa{\tilde{n}}ola$(2009) describes that the adverb todavía occurs in a variety of focus-sensitive environments and specially, in the Andean and River Plate areas, the phrase [todavía que] participates in the concessive constructions and triggers an additive interpretation. It is well known that the Quechuan suffix '-raq' and the Aymaran suffix '-raki' have the meaning of todavía which is characterized as a additive particle. Due to the absence of the paratactic relationship between the mentioned Spanish adverb and those indigenous suffixes, the adverb todavía in [todavía que] is used as a additive focalizer. We assume that these morphosyntactic and semantic properties are derived from the language contact of Quechua-Spanish and Aymara Spanish. Based on this assumption, we will further assume that the etymological peculiarity of todavía as a universal quantifier is closely related to the reading of [todavía que] as a Scalar Additive Concessive Conjunctive Phrase.

고배율 렌즈를 장착한 3차원 비접촉 측정 장비에서 컴퓨터 비전을 이용한 정밀도 높은 형상의 측정을 위해서는 선명한 영상 획득을 위한 정확한 초점 위치 결정이 선행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 정초점 위치를 찾기 위하여 수동형 초점 조절 방법을 사용한다. 각각의 렌즈 위치에서의 입력 영상에 대해 초점 위치 추적의 척도가 되는 초점값을 변형된 LoG 방법을 이용하여 측정하고, 측정된 초점값들의 렌즈 위치에 따른 분포 곡선에 대한 가우시안 정합을 적용한 정초점 위치 검색을 통해 최적의 초점 위치를 결정하는 기법을 제안한다.

Depth estimation is an essential factor for robot vision, 3D scene modeling, and motion control. The depth estimation method is based on focusing values calculated in a series of images by a single camera at different distance between lens and object. In this paper, we proposed a relative depth estimation method using focus measure. The proposed method is implemented by focus value calculated for each image obtained at different lens position and then depth is finally estimated by considering relative distance of two patterns. We performed various experiments on the effective focus measures for depth estimation by using various patterns and their usefulness.

The current study aims to validate Employment Hope Scale (EHS), a dimension of Psychological Self-Sufficiency (PSS) scale, among self-sufficiency program participants in South Korea. Self-sufficiency has been understood primarily from an economic perspective in both policies and studies, with which the process participants changes has been ignored and neglected. This study suggests psychological approach to self-sufficiency programs for the paradigm shift to 'client-centered' practice. In this regard, this study tests the validity of EHS using exploratory factor analsysi (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in South Korea, developed from a bottom-up client-centered approach and found a 4-factor 17-item structure as Korean EHS(K-EHS). The study results indicate that the K-EHS can be used as a valid supplementary process evaluation tool for self-sufficiency programs.

本文考察了'都-數量詞'构式的分布特点和語用特征。首先, '都-數量詞'构式的分布可以分爲'都'出現在數量詞前, '都'和數量詞之間有動詞出現, '都'的前或后有副詞出現等三种情况。在這三种'都-數量詞'句子中'都'表示一种情態意義, 指一个主觀大量; 超過听話人或設話人所預設的數量或程度。其次, '都-數量詞'构式的語用特征可以簡单概括爲以下兩点。第一, '設話人所要表達的尺度的含蓄性'; 數量詞在句子中表示一定的尺度, 在這个尺度范圍里它會指可能性最低值, 所以'都'在构式中表示設話人所要表達的尺度的含蓄性。第二, '焦点敏感算子'; 從信息結构的觀点考察'都-數量詞'句子, 發現有自然焦点結构和句子焦点結构等兩种類型, 其中'都'在句子中有焦点敏感算子的功能。

Depth estimation is often required for robot vision, 3D modeling, and motion control. Previous method is based on the focus measures which are calculated for a series of image by a single camera at different distance between and object. This method, however, has disadvantage of taking a long time for calculating the focus measure since the mask operation is performed for every pixel in the image. In this paper, we estimates the depth by using the focus measure of the boundary pixels located between the objects in order to minimize the depth estimate time. To detect the boundary of an object consisting of a straight line and a circle, we use the Hough transform and estimate the depth by using the focus measure. We performed various experiments for PCB images and obtained more effective depth estimation results than previous ones.

This paper proposes the low power MDCT algorithm for precise FV with minimum size of sub-window in mobile phone. Proposed algerian uses the coefficient at the middle of whole result process requiring the least number of calculations, since it has a good characteristic when used as standard of the FV and needs minimum amount of operation. In addition, using the DCT result related to the middle frequency makes the characteristic of FV more superior because it suppresses the impulsive noise and difference of focus values is larger than any others. The proposed algorithm is implemented using Verilog HDL and verified using Excalibur-ARM board.

Self-sufficiency of the female victims of prostitution has been understood as a 'result' at a particular moment focusing on an economic self-sufficiency. Overcoming such limitation, this study originates from a problem posing that evaluating self-sufficiency of the female victims of prostitution should be approached as a series of 'processes' in which experiences of the victims are integrated. The methodology of the study included a questionnaire survey with questions designed based on the self-sufficiency experiences which were analyzed through an in-depth interview with 34 female victims of prostitution. The questionnaire survey was conducted with 243 female victims of prostitution, and construct validity and reliability were verified. As a result of an exploratory factor analysis, a validity of scale in four factors and 24 questions was verified. A reliability of each factor was high ranging from .823 to .871. It could be achieved to make a relatively invisible process of self-sufficiency visible by developing the scale. Subsequently it complements the existing concept of self-sufficiency and overcomes limitations of measuring its results, hence reflecting the reality of the self-sufficiency practices.
