An active object tracking algorithm using Pan and Tilt camera based in the stepwise application of region and color information from realtime image sequences is proposed. To reduce environment noises in input sequences, Gaussian filtering is performed first. An image is divided into background and objects by using the adaptive Gaussian mixture model. Once the target object is detected, an initial search window close to an object region is set up and color information is extracted from the region. We track moving objects in realtime by using the CAMShift algorithm which enables to trace objects in active camera with the color information. The proper tracking is accomplished by controlling the amount of pan and tilt to be placed the center position of object into the middle of field of view. The experimental results show that the proposed method is more effective than the hand-operated window method.

In this paper, we propose the method and system which determines the condition for safe and unsafe lane changing. To determine the condition, first, the system sets up the Region of Interest(ROI) on the neighboring lane. Second, a dangerous vehicle is extracted during the line changing. Third, the condition is determined to wm or not by calculating the moving direction, relative distance md relative velocity. To set up the ROI, the only one side lane is detected and the interested region is expanded. Using the coordinate transformation method, the accuracy of the ROI raised. To correctly extract the vehicle on the neighboring lane, the Adaptive Background Update method and Image Segmentation method which uses the feature of the travelling road are used. The object which is extracted by the dangerous vehicle is calculated the relative distance, the relative velocity and the moving average. And then in order to ring, the direction of the vehicle and the condition for safe and unsafe is determined. As minimizes the interested region and uses the feature of the travelling road, the computational quantity is reduced and the accuracy is raised and a stable result on a travelling road images which demands a high speed calculation is showed.

The purpose of this study is to propose the calculation model of CCTV monitor size for school. Literature review analyzed the concept and technical characteristics of CCTV system including equation of object size calculation. Case study showed that the sizes of CCTV monitors installed in the security offices of the six object schools were 19 inches on average. And the numbers of monitor screen partitions were at least 12 on average. Due to too many partitions in small monitors of approximately 19 inches, the faces of the objects of filming in each screen could not be properly identified. Experimental test presented that the vertical length of face image clearly recognized on the screen is at least 20mm. Based on the result, this paper developed the equation for calculating monitor size. Pilot test said that 27inch Monitor is needed for 4 screens. The practitioners of school districts and schools can make appropriate CCTV system environments considering the their own CCTV system conditions.

This paper presents a new shadow testing acceleration scheme for ray tracing called Hybrid Shadow Testing (HST) based on a conditional switching between the conventinal shadow testing method and Crow's shadow volume method, where the shadow polygons as well as the object polygons are registered onto the corresponding cells under the 3-D space subdivision environment. Despite the preprocessing time for the generation and registration of the shadow polygons, the total shadow testing time of the proposed algorithm, HST was approximately 50% of that of the conventional shadow testing method for several examples while the total ray tracing time was typically reduced by 30% from the conventional approach. This due to the selective use of the shadow volume method with a compromise between the maximal utilisation of shadow's spatial coherency and minimising the computational overhead for checking ray intersections with the shadow polygons. A parameter, $N_{th}$ denoting the critical number of shadow polygons between successive reflection points was used as a guideline for switching the shadow testing scheme between the conventional method and shadow volume method. A method for calculating $N_{th}$ from such statistical data as the number of object polygons, average polygon size average peripheral length of the polygons was proposed, resulting in good agreement with the experimental results.

It is well-known that the coding efficiency of CABAC which is one of the entropy coding methods in H.264/AVC is lower than that of CAVLC at high bitrate in intra coding, even if CABAC shows higher coding efficiency than CAVLC. Therefore, for high quality video application, this paper proposes new binarization methods about the quantized DCT coefficients that are partitioned into four regions such that CABAC shows similar coding efficiency to CAVLC at high bitrate. The proposed binarization methods consist of separate binarization tables about the four partitioned DCT coefficients considering the statistical characteristics of the quantized DCT coefficients. The proposed binarizaton method for the quantized DCT coefficients shows higher coding efficiency than CABAC in H.264/AVC and shows very similar result to CAVLC at high bitrate.

With the advent of smart media, short and fast-paced video content appeared, and conditions for viewing changed to viewing in environments where the perception is dispersed due to distracting and complicated external situations in a short period of time. Accordingly, smart media videos are quickly delivering meaning while keeping the eyes of viewers who lack patience. Our eyes and brain have a hard time accepting image information that flows through the constraints of a small screen. Our visual perception is limited in terms of acceptable visual information and, in particular, less cognition in moving images, so the production of smart media images should be directed in a way that enhances perceptual understanding. To be able to effectively communicate what you want to talk about while reducing the visual burden, intuitive image comprehension is needed by applying intuitiveness and behavioral induction to the moving images. Close-up shot, stable structure such as frontality and three-division structure, and color have such 'visual affordance' Therefore we need to use that device appropriately.

On-line game gradually grew into a significant part in Korean culture due to rapid development of internet. As icons are utilized as interface, the concept of UI(User Interface) receives spotlight in playing games, and the play bug appears most frequently in MMORPG genre. The introduction of icons brought partial inefficiency in dividing screen sectors while playing games, which means play sector is reduced. On the meantime, components of UI possess different places so that cause considerable confusion to heavy users. This study attempts to analyze the top 5 commonly-played games and to understand the necessity and status of UI components by surveying heavy users. The result of this study shows that there is notable difference between UI of games on-service and preference of heavy users. This study could suggest UI of a better quality by restructuring and rearranging the UI components based on the heavy users' preference as shown in the survey. It is expected that this study can contribute to creating a more effective game play by eliminating possible changes of UI upon different games and realizing broader play sector.

In this paper, a method of MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) multiplexing for Ultra HDTV (UHDTV) and its design and implementation as a SW tool is described. In practice, UHD video may be divided into several HD videos and each video is encoded in parallel. Therefore, it is necessary to synchronize and multiplex multiple bitstreams encoding each HD video for transmitting and storing UHD video. In this paper, it is assumed that 4 HD videos partitioning a UHD spatially are encoded as H.264/AVC and two 5.0 channel audios are encoded by AC-3. Therefore, 4 H.264/AVC elementary streams (ESs) and 2 AC-3 ESs is mainly considered in the TS multiplexing of UHD. For the carriage of H.264/AVC and AC-3 over MPEG-2 TS, PES packetization and TS multiplexing are designed and implemented based on the extended specification of the MPEG-2 Systems and ATSC (Digital audio compressed standard), respectively. The implemented UHD TS multiplexing tool emulates real time HW operation in the time unit corresponding to the duration of one TS packet transmission in a given TS rate. In particular, in order to satisfy the timing model, the buffers defined in the TS System Target Decoder (T-STD) are monitored and their statuses are considered in the scheduling of TS multiplexing. For UHD multiplexing, two kinds of multiplexing structures, which are UHD re-multiplexing and UHD program multiplexing, are implemented and their strength and weakness are investigated. The developed UHD TS multiplexing tool is tested and verified in terms of the syntax and semantics conformance and functionalities by using a commercial analyzer and real-time presentation tools.
