Free viewpoint image synthesis technology is one of the important technologies in the MPEG-I (Immersive) standard. RVS (Reference View Synthesizer) developed by MPEG-I and in use in MPEG group is a DIBR (Depth Information-Based Rendering) program that generates an image at a virtual (intermediate) viewpoint from multiple viewpoints' inputs. RVS uses the mesh surface method based on computer graphics, and outperforms the pixel-based ones by 2.5dB or more compared to the previous pixel method. Even though its OpenGL version provides 10 times speed up over the non OpenGL based one, it still shows a non-real-time processing speed, i.e., 0.75 fps on the two 2k resolution input images. In this paper, we analyze the internal of RVS implementation and modify its structure, achieving 34 times speed up, therefore, real-time performance (22-26 fps), through the 3 key improvements: 1) the reuse of OpenGL buffers and texture objects 2) the parallelization of file I/O and OpenGL execution 3) the parallelization of GPU shader program and buffer transfer.

This paper presents an appropriate approach for modeling noise in Computed Radiography(CR) images of high strength materials. The approach is specifically designed for types of noise with the statistical and nonlinear properties. CR images Ere degraded even before they are encoded by computer process. Various types of noise often contribute to contaminate radiography image, although they are detected on digitalization. Quantum noise, which is Poisson distributed, is a shot noise, but the photon distribution on Image Plate(IP) of CR system is not always Poisson process. The statistical properties are relative and case-dependant due to its material characteristics. The usual assumption of a distribution of Poisson, binomial and Gaussian statistics are considered. Nonlinear effect is also represented in the process of statistical noise model. It leads to estimate the noise variance in regions from high to low intensity, specifying analytical model. The analysis approach is tested on a database of steel tube step-wedge CR images. The results are available for the comparative parameter studies which measure noise coherence, distribution, signal/noise ratios(SNR) and nonlinear interpolation.

A wide variety of smartphone applications is increasing the usage time of smartphone. Due to the increased time, it becomes difficult to providing stable services to users with limited battery capacity. The past works have been performed the power management of mobile device toward long-lasting battery development or low-power electric devices. However as the complexity of software embedded into system are increased, the research interests of the software power analysis is also increased. Among these studies on the software power analysis, model-based analysis technique is one of major interests because it can be able to analyze the power consumption before the development of source codes, then the analysis result can be used in the development of the software system, This paper suggests a model-based power analysis technique using UML state machine diagram. Our proposed technique estimates the power consumption by the simulation of Perti-net which is transformed from the state machine diagram.

Model checking method is able to check all possible cases automatically and is applicable to specifications or design before actual implementation so that some critical systems have adopted this method actively. However, the current practice of software verification is largely dependant on basic methods such as manual testing because of lack of understanding about this rigorous method and high verification cost. In this paper we conducted an experimental research for the automated verification using the SPIN model checker on an online-game server to study the applicability of the technique in this domain. The results show that we could verify major features of the online-game server party system with 5~7 GB memory and within 10 minutes execution time, and also found a hidden system error that passed existing testing process. This result shows the possibility of rigorous and effective verification with reasonable cost in comparison to manual testing.

As a large quantity of Genome sequencing has happened to be done a very much a surprising speed in short period, an automatic genome annotation process has become prerequisite. The most difficult process among with this kind of genome annotation works is to finding out the protein-coding genes within a genome. The main 2 subjects of gene prediction are Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes ; their genes have different structures, therefore, their gene prediction methods will also obviously varies. Until now, it is found that among of the 231 genome sequenced species, 200 have been found to be prokaryotes, therefore, for study of biotechnology studies, through comparative genomics, prokaryotes, rather than eukaryotes could may be more appropriate than eukaryotes. Even more, prokaryotes does not have the gene structure called an intron, so it makes the gene prediction easier. Former prokaryotes gene predictions have been shown to be 80%～ to 90% of accuracy. A recent study is aiming at 100% of gene prediction accuracy. In this paper, especially in the case of the E. coli K-12 and S. typhi genomes, gene prediction accuracy which showed 98.5% and 98.7% was more efficient than previous GLIMMER.

This study tries to identify the terms which shared the same meaning with a present-day geographical concept region, or jibang(地方) in Korean, Prior to the initiation of modem geography. The analysis of the annals of the pre-modem political regimes and the earliest geography textbooks ends up with the terms oe(外), bang(方), oebang(外方), ji(地面). These terminologies, although having had almost similar meanings that region intends, nonetheless deliver somewhat different connotation depending on the context and times in and during which they were used. Another finding of significance is that region and jibang, both central .words in contemporary geography, began to be used only after the introduction, by way of Japan, of modem geography in the early 20th century. The colonial experience and subsequent political and social turmoil, however, results in careless uses of the terms in geography teaching and research. Efforts need to be continued to address the problems of misuse of these basic terms and, by doing so, to raise geographical pursuits on a right track.

A reprogramming operation is necessary to update the software code of the node to change or update the functionality of the deployed node in wireless sensor networks. This paper proposes an optimization algorithm that minimizes the transmission energy of a node for the purpose of reprogramming a node in wireless sensor networks. We also design an algorithm that keeps energy consumption of all nodes balanced in order to maintain the lifetime of the network. In this paper, we propose a Tabu search algorithm with a new neighborhood generation method for minimizing transmission energy and energy consumption in wireless sensor networks with many nodes. The proposed algorithm is designed to obtain optimal results within a reasonable execution time. The performance of the proposed Tabu search algorithm was evaluated in terms of the node's transmission energy, remaining energy, and algorithm execution time. The performance evaluation results showed better performance than the previous methods.

To provide dynamic services for users in ubiquitous computing environments by considering context in real-time, in our previous work we proposed Metaservice concept, the description specification and the process for building a Metaservice library. However, our previous process generates separated models - UML, OWL, OWL-S based models - from each step, so it did not provide the established method for translation between models. Moreover, it premises aid of experts in various ontology languages, ontology editing tools and the proposed Metaservice specification. In this paper, we design the translation process from domain ontology in OWL to Metaservice Library in OWL-S and develop a visual tool in order to enable non-experts to generate consistent models and to construct a Metaservice library. The purpose of the Metaservice Library translation process is to maintain consistency in all models and to automatically generate OWL-S code for Metaservice library by integrating existing OWL model and Metaservice model.

This study has used differential display-PCR, to amplify genes transcribed during the ovarian maturation induced by human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). The cDNA expressed at the times of acquisition of oocyte maturational competence in red seabream (Pagrus major) following treatment with hCG was amplified and cloned. A full-length of cDNA for p. major was isolated using differential display-PCR and 5'RACE. This cDNA clone contained 2,662 nucleotides including the open reading frame that encoded 434 amino acids. Homology analyses, using the GenBank and EMBL general database searches, indicated that the nucleotides sequence of the cDNA does not have high homology with any other genes. This cDNA was judged to be a gene, which induction of maturational competence coincides with increase of mRNA related ovarian maturation. Consensus sequences which were consistent with protein kinase C phosphorylation sites and casein kinase II phosphorylation sites were identified. in vitro, the transcription level of mRNA related ovarian maturation increased between 9hr and 24hr following treatment of ovarian follicles with hCG. It was also increased after GtH-II (300 ng/ml) stimulation. Furthermore, in vivo, mRNA related ovarian maturation was rarely expressed prior to the acquisition of oocyte maturational competence, but was strongly expressed after the acquisition of oocyte maturational competence, suggesting that the hCG induction of maturational competence is brought about by the de novo synthesis of the mRNA related ovarian maturation in p. major.
