The article is to investigate selection of Korean cuisine restaurants and levels of acculturation for foreigner living in Korea and to suggest some guidelines for drawing them and enlargement in consuming market. Out of 250 questionnaires, 220 questionnaires were used for data analysis. The findings are showed visiting for taking experience other culture and learning technology & training, not knowing well much about Korean culture, and eating experience Korean food on 30.5%, less than 2 years length in Korea. And the most difficult points are showed unclear communication, rude behavior, attitude, and language in living Korea. Second, the purpose of visiting restaurant is to spend good time with friends and to eat out special food, then foreigners usually have lunch & dinner Korean food, their own food on weekend. Third, 'service' and 'sanitation & cleanness' factors were ranked highly for foreigners living less than 2 years, but 'location' factor was ranked highly for residents living more than 4 years in the Korea. Last, foreigners living less than 2 years recognized highly on 'identification and Korea culture' in the Korea.

Recently Wireless communication among short-distance devices has come to notice due to smart phone generalization recently. However, instead of setting up additional H/W, communication technology providing wireless communication based on S/W is in need due to limited availability of NFC's use. Accordingly, short-distance wireless communication technology that makes great use of mike and speaker which installed in every device draws attention. Our thesis suggests improvement of acoustic transmission speed by applying multi-channel parallel transmission and advancement of transmission rate that differed from each mike's own characteristics through optimizing adaptive threshold. The study is not only just applied in specific and limited conditions such as promoting corporation and payments system but also fast and convenient data transmit system general users-oriented.

With the growth of the Internet, multimedia streaming becomes an important means to deliver video contents over the Internet and the amount of the streaming multimedia contents is also getting increased. However, it becomes difficult to guarantee the quality of service in real-time over the IP network environment with instantaneously varying bandwidth. In this paper, we propose an optimal adaptation framework for streaming contents over the Internet in the sense that the perceptual quality of the multi-angie content with multiple visual objects is maximized given the constraints such as available bandwidth and transcoding cost. In the multi-angle video service framework, the user can select his/her preferred alternate views among the given multiple video streams captured at different view angles for a same event. This enhanced experience often entails streaming problems in real-time over the network, such as instantaneous bandwidth changes in the Internet. In order to cope with this problem, we assume that multi-angle video contents are encoded at different bitrates and the appropriate video streams are then selected or transcoded for delivery to meet such bandwidth constraints. For the user selective consumption of the various bitstreams in the multi-angle video service, the bitstream in each angle can be encoded in various bitrate, and the user can select a sub-bitrstream in the given bitrstreams or transcode the corresponding content in order to deliver the optimally adapted video contents to the instantaneously changing network condition. Therefore, we define the transcoding cost which means the time taken for transcoding the video stream and formulate a unified optimization framework which maximizes the perceptual quality of the multiple video objects in the given constraints such as the transcoding cost and the network bandwidth. Finally, we present plenty of the experimental results to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Expanding services and productions for screen content videos recently, necessity of new compression techniques is emerging. The next-generation video coding standard is also considering specified coding tools for screen content videos, but it is still preliminary stage. In this paper, we investigate the characteristics of screen content videos for which we propose the quantization in spatial domain to improve coding efficiency. The proposed method directly employs quantization for residual signal without any transformations. The proposed method also applies adaptive coefficients prediction and in-loop filter for quantized residual signals in spatial domain based on the characteristics of screen content videos. As a results, the proposed method for the random access, the low-delay and the all-intra modes achieve bit-saving about 4.4%, 5.1%. and 4.9%, respectively.

Geometric distortion and shadow effect due to capturing angle could be included in document copy images that are captured by a camera in stead of a scanner. In this paper, a clean black and white document image generation algorithm by distortion correction and shadow elimination based on a camera, is proposed. In order to correct geometric distortion such as straightening un-straight boundary lines occurred by camera lens radial distortion and eliminating outlying area included by camera direction, second derivative filter based document boundary detection method is developed. Black and white images have been generated by adaptive binarization method by eliminating shadow effect. Experimental results of the black and white document image generation algorithm by recovering geometrical distortion and eliminating shadow effect for the document images captured by smart phone camera, shows very good processing results.

Difference image scheme is widely used for motion estimation in moving object tracking system. This scheme contains a binarization step which segments image into background and moving object regions, referring to threshold value. In this paper, we propose a decision algorithm of tracking the threshold value with a differential image. The key idea is analyzing the histogram of the differential image. In addition we evaluate the performance of this method in comparison with conventional scheme. As an experimental result with 60 images, it is found that threshold by the proposed algorithm is very close to optimal threshold selected manually.

포인트 클라우드는 다수의 포인트로 구성된 3차원 미디어 콘텐츠로, 기존의 2차원 미디어에 비해 방대한 크기를 가진다. 이러한 포인트 클라우드 데이터를 효과적으로 소비하기 위해서는 포인트 클라우드 데이터를 압축하는 것이 필수적으로 요구된다. 이에 따라, 국제 표준화 기구 The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG)에서는 2차원 비디오 코덱 기반의 포인트 클라우드 압축 방안인 V-PCC 압축 방안과, V-PCC 비트스트림을 저장하고 전송하기 위한 ISOBMFF 캡슐화 방안에 대한 표준화가 진행되고 있다. V-PCC는 기존의 2차원 비디오 코덱을 이용하기 위해 3차원 포인트 클라우드 데이터를 투영하여 2차원 패치를 생성하고, 생성된 패치를 2차원 그리드에 배치하여 2차원 이미지를 생성한다. 이 때, 생성되는 2차원 이미지는 패치의 모양 차이와 인코딩의 효율성 때문에 Group of Picture(GOP)마다 다른 크기를 갖는다. 이러한 이미지 크기의 차이는 반복적인 디코더 초기화를 유발하여 송신기와 수신기 모두에 큰 부담을 발생시킨다. 이에 본 논문에서는 비트레이트와 메타데이터를 적응적으로 제어하여 V-PCC 비트스트림을 반복적인 디코더 초기화 없이 안정적으로 송수신 하기 위한 Global grid 기반 V-PCC 전송 방안을 제안한다.

Users are able to search and read interesting items and hence click hyperlink linked to the item which is detailed content unit such as menu, login, news, video, etc. Small screen like mobile device is very difficult to viewing all web contents at once. Browsing and searching for interesting items by scrolling to left and right or up and down is discomfort to users in small screen. Searching and displaying directly the item preferred by users can reduces difficulty of interface manipulation of mobile device. To archive it, web contents based on desktop will be segmented on a per-item basis which component unit of web contents. Most segment algorithms are based on segment method through analysis of HTML code or mobile size. However, it is difficult to extract item blocks. Because present web content is getting more complicated and diversified in structure and content like web portal services. A web content segment algorithm suggested in this paper is based on extracting item blocks is component units of web contents.
