A rhizobacterium Pseudomonas cholororaphis O6 produced several secondary metabolites, such as phenazines, protease, and HCN that may be involved in inhibition of the growth of phytopathogenic fungi. In field study, P. chlororaphis O6 treatment on wheat seed suppressed root rot disease caused by Fusarium culmorum. The major organic acids of cucumber root exudates were fumaric acid, malic acid, benzoic acid, and succinic acid. Glucose and fructose were major monosaccharides in cucumber root exudates. The total amount of organic acids was ten times higher than that of the sugars. P. chlororaphis O6 grew well on cucumber root exudates. The dctA gene of P. chlororaphis O6 consisted of a 1,335 bp open reading frame with a deduced amino acid sequence of 444 residues, corresponding to a molecular size of about 47 kD and pI 8.2. The deduced dctA sequence has ten putative transmembrane domains, as expected of a membrane-embedded protein. Our results indicated that organic acids in cucumber root exudates may play an important role in providing nutrient source for root colonization of biological control bacteria, and the dctA gene of P. chlororaphis O6 may be an important bacterial trait that is involved in utilization of root exudates.

In this paper, we proposed a new technique to encode and decode the digital hologram. Since the digital hologram (or fringe pattern) is generated by interference of light, it has much different property from natural 2D (2 dimensional) images. First, we acquisite optical-sensed or computer-generated hologram by digital type, and then extract a chrominance component. The extracted digital hologram for coding is separated into segments to use multi-view properties. The segmented hologram shows the similar characteristics with picturing an object with 2D cameras in various point of view. Since fringe pattern is visually observed like as noise, we expect that the fringe pattern has poor coding efficiency. To obtain high efficiency, the segment is transformed with DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) which resembles hologram generation process with high performance. Each transformed segment passes the 3D scanning process according to time and spatial correlation, and is organized into a video stream. Since the segment which correspond to frame of a video stream consists of the transformed coefficients with wide range of value, it is classified and re-normalized. Finally it is compressed with coding tools. The proposed algorithm illustrated that it has better properties for reconstruction of 16 times higher compression rate than the previous researches.

This paper focuses on the study of the face authentication system and the robustness of fact authentication methods under illumination changes. Four different face authentication methods are tried. These methods are as fellows; PCA(Principal Component Analysis), GMM(Gaussian Mixture Modeis), 1D HMM(1 Dimensional Hidden Markov Models), Pseudo 2D HMM(Pseudo 2 Dimensional Hidden Markov Models). Experiment results involving an artificial illumination change to fate images are compared with each other. Face feature vector extraction based on the 2D DCT(2 Dimensional Discrete Cosine Transform) if used. Experiments to evaluate the above four different fate authentication methods are carried out on the ORL(Olivetti Research Laboratory) face database. Experiment results show the EER(Equal Error Rate) performance degrade in ail occasions for the varying ${\delta}$. For the non illumination changes, Pseudo 2D HMM is $2.54{\%}$,1D HMM is $3.18{\%}$, PCA is $11.7{\%}$, GMM is $13.38{\%}$. The 1D HMM have the bettor performance than PCA where there is no illumination changes. But the 1D HMM have worse performance than PCA where there is large illumination changes(${\delta}{\geq}40$). For the Pseudo 2D HMM, The best EER performance is observed regardless of the illumination changes.

This paper presents an algorithm for compressing image data by separating the image into two parts. I.e. edge image containing high-frequency components and non-edge image containing low-frequency components of image. The edge image is extracted by using 8 level compass gradient masks and the non-edge image is obtained by removing the edge image from the original image. The edge image is coded by Huffman run-length code and the non edge image is transformed first by DCT and the transformed images is coded next by a quantized bit allocation table. For an example image. GIRL. the proposed algorithm shows bit rate of 0.52 bpp with PSNR of 36dB.

얼굴인식은 동일 사람의 얼굴이라도 조명변화나 얼굴 표정변화에 따라 매우 다른 영상들로 나타나기 때문에 매우 어려운 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 조명변화에도 강인하고 얼굴영상에 대해 높은 얼굴 인식률을 얻기 위해 2D-HMM(Hidden Markov Model) 얼굴인식 방법을 제안하고 실험하였다. 제안된 방법은 조명변화에 대해서 조명변화 함수인 $\delta$(delta) 함수를 0, 40, 60, 80으로 변화해 가면서 이미지 보정을 실험하였으며, 계산의 복잡성을 줄이고 얼굴영상에 대한 높은 인식률을 얻기 위해 기존의 픽셀값 대신에 2D-DCT 계수를 관측벡터로 사용하였다. 시스템의 성능을 평가하기 위해 정량적 평가방법은 FAR(False Accpt Rate)와 FRR(False Reject Rate)를 측정하여 비교하였으며, 기존의 얼굴인식 방법인 PCA, 1차원 HMM과 비교분석하였다. 실험결과 2D-HMM의 경우 FAR(False Accept Rate)가 5.08%로 ID-HMM 5.18%, PCA 10.16%보다 높은 성능을 보였으며, FRR(False Reject Rate)의 경우에도 0.01%로 10.16%인 PCA보다 좋은 성능을 보였다. 이로서 조명변화에 대해서는 PCA보다 2D-HMM 얼굴인식 방법이 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

This study was carried out to elucidate the relation between expression levels of three melanin synthesis genes (Tyrosinase, Tyrosinase-related protein 1 and Dopachrome tautomerase) according to the Melanocortin-1 receptor genotypes with coat color patterns in Hanwoo cattle, Jeju black cattle and Holsteins. Using real-time semiquantitative reverse transcription-PCR assay (RT-PCR), the expression levels of these three genes were analyzed in skin tissues from four representative coat colored areas: yellowish-brown from MC1R e/e Hanwoo, wild type black from $E^+/E^+$ Jeju black cattle (JBC), and dominant black and white pied regions from $E^D/E^D$ Holstein. The TYR, TYRP1 and DCT genes showed higher expression levels of 4.5, 2.3 and 2.5 times higher in the black skin area of Holsteins than those of from JBC, respectively (p<0.001). In addition, the expression levels of these three genes from JBC were significantly higher than those from Hanwoo cattle (p<0.001). These results show that coat color phenotypes in Hanwoo cattle, JBC and Holsteins is directly correlated with TRY, TYRP1 and DCT transcription levels, which probably reflected involvement with MC1R genotypes; e/e in Hanwoo, $E^+/E^+$ in JBC and $E^D/E^D$ in Holsteins. Consequently, this study suggested that the status of MC1R protein may not only induce the transcription activities of a series of TYR and its related genes responsible for melanin synthesis, but also determine the levels of total melanin contents in bovine skin.

In this paper, we propose a temporal adaptive tranform 3D SBC coder with motion compensation, exploiting redundancy in the temporal domain. We propose a temporal adaptivity measure, by which the R-D optimal temporal transform can be chaosen. The base temporal subband frame is coded using H.261-like MC-DCT coder, while the higher temporal subband frames are coded using the 2D adaptive wavelet packet bases, considering the various energy distribution which results from the temporal variation. In encoding the subbands, we employ adaptive scanning methods, uniform step-size quantization with VLC, and coded/not-coded flag reduction technique using the quadtree structure. From the simulation results, the proposed adaptive 3D subband coder shows about 0.29~3.14 dB gain over the H.261 and the fixed 3D subband coder techniques.

An efficient control parameter extraction scheme required for auto-focusing control of a stereo camera is proposed. Without loss of generality, it is assumed that an interesting object exists in the center of a captured image by a stereo camera. In such a case. we apply a 2-dimensional wavelet transform to the center area with specific image size in the captured image. Next, we extract required focus control parameters using an Ll-norm for doubly high-pass filtered components. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme is effectively applicable to the auto-focusing for a stereo camera compared to the conventional control scheme using discrete cosine transform (DCT).

본 논문에서는 디지털 홀로그램(digital hologram)을 2 차원 비디오 압축기를 사용하여 압축하는 방법을 다룬다. 그 방법은 디지털 홀로그램을 다수 개의 부홀로그램(sub-hologram)으로 나누고, 각 부홀로그램을 2 차원영상화한 후 그 결과를 배열하여 동영상 시퀀스로 만들어 2 차원 동영상 압축기로 압축하는 방법이다. 각 부홀로그램을 2 차원 영상으로 만드는 방법으로 DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform)와 Fresnel 변환 변환(Fresnel Transform)을 사용하며, 다양한 크기의 부홀로그램을 고려한다. 2 차원 비디오 압축 방법으로는 H.264/AVC 와 HEVC 를 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 2 차원 영상 변환 방법, 부홀로그램의 크기, 그리고 2 차원 영상압축 방법에 따른 성능을 비교하고 분석한다.
