Active Appearance Model is a well-known model that can represent a non-rigid object effectively. However, since it uses the fixed appearance model, the fitting results are often unsatisfactory when the imaging condition of the target image is different from that of training images. To alleviate this problem, incremental AAM was proposed which updates its appearance bases in an on-line manner. However, it cannot deal with the sudden changes of illumination. To overcome this, we propose a novel scheme to update the appearance bases. When a new person appears in the input image, we synthesize illuminated images of that person and update the appearance bases of AAM using it. Since we update the appearance bases using synthesized illuminated images in advance, the AAM can fit their model to a target image well when the illumination changes drastically. The experimental results show that our proposed algorithm improves the fitting performance over both the incremental AAM and the original AAM.

This study aims on observing the recognition and attitude of caring for outer appearance by deducing the factors of men caring for their outer appearance at current point where male position is being emphasized in the appearance related market and their interest for outer appearance care is increasing. As a result of conducting a survey, male appearance caring behavior was distinguished into fashion, skin and cosmetic, cosmetic surgery, physical image, and hair factors, and among them, physical image factor showed the highest average, which proves that men generally have positive attitude towards caring for their looks. Concerning skin and cosmetics, the results show that interest is high regardless of age and occupation, and the lower the age is, the higher average for fashion, cosmetic surgery, and hair factors, proving that young men have more interest for caring after their looks. However, there was difference in outer appearance caring behavior pursued or favored by each age bracket according to the higher average for physical image in the age bracket higher than 30. Also, each factor of outer appearance caring behavior turned out to have significant correlation to each other.

The purpose of the study is to investigate developmental changes in the effect of sociocultural factors towards appearance, body mass index and self-esteem on body image. Participants were 315elementary school, 305middle school students, 310hight school students and 346college students from Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. Collected data were analyzed through Cronbach's $\alpha$, Two-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. The findings of the study were as follows: 1) Sociocultural factors towards appearance, body mass index, self-esteem and body image differed by grade and gender. 2) Peers, self-esteem, BMI and mass media were significant predictors of elementary school students' body image. Mass media, BMI and self-esteem were significant predictors of middle school students' body image. Self-esteem, peers, BMI, gender and mass media were significant predictors of high school students' body image. Self-esteem, mass media and BMI were significant predictors of college students' body image.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the acceptance and interpretation of pop musician's image in the Korean youth subculture, Fan Costume play(Fancos). Fancos subculture took the most active attitude to accepts of the pop musician's image and therefore was assumed to have various and differential acceptance aspects. The ethnographic method was used in order to approach more closely from their point of view. The cultural activity of Fancos subculture was imitation and reappearance of pop musician's appearance. Actually Fancos is a kind of fan-culture which idolized Korean pop music star. The acceptance of musician's appearance in Fancos is found out in two aspects. One is passive acceptance aspects that inforces conformity of star fashion and follows servilely ideal body image which promoted by cultural industry. The other is unique acceptance aspects that Fancos members interpret the musician's image in their own way. Those members experience pleasure through their own meaning. And homology of their appearance makes a distinction between of themselves from other youth and intensifies their group identity. As above analyzed, Fancos subculture has differential acceptance of pop music star's image comparing to other youth and even their stylistic appearance reflects not only their fandom but also their own meaning. Consequently, pop musician's image as a popular cultural text is accepted not equal to all populace but dissimilar along with contexts and trails of the acceptance group.

얼굴 인식 방법 중에 한 얼굴 영상을 분할하여 분할한 각 부분마다 통계적 방법을 적용해 특징추출을 수행한 다음 각 부분마다 분류를 수행하고 이러한 분류결과를 모아서 voting등의 방법으로 얼굴 인식을 수행 하는 방법을 국부 외형 기반 방법(local appearance-based method) 이라고 한다. 기존에 제안된 국부 외형 기반 얼굴 인식은 얼굴 영상을 일정한 크기로 단순분할하고, 그 부분들을 모두 인식에 사용한다. 본고에서는 인식에 상대적으로 중요한 부분만을 사용하여 얼굴 인식을 수행하는 새로운 국부 외형 기반 얼굴 인식 방법을 제안한다. 본고에서는 단순 분할 방법 대신에 눈, 코, 입 등 인물 간의 차이가 잘 나타나는 얼굴 부분들을 support vector machine (SVM) 을 이용하여 검출한 후, 검출한 각 부분에 주성분 분석 (PCA) 을 적용하고 이를 통합하여 얼굴 인식을 수행하였다. 실험을 통해 제안한 방법과 기존 방법의 성능을 비교한 결과, 제안한 방법이 기존의 국부 외형 기반 방법의 장점을 지니는 동시에 성능을 개선시킴을 확인하였다.

This study compares the perceived body image of female college students in Korea and Japan as well as explains the difference in the level of self-esteem, body cathexis, body image and fashion leadership based on nationality and body. The sense of fashion leadership affected by these factors was also analyzed. A high ratio of Korean and Japanese female students perceived themselves as obese compared to actual body physique. It was shown that body was highly distorted. They showed a comparatively low level of satisfaction with appearance in contrast to their high interest in their appearance and weight. Thin bodied individuals showed a high level of self-esteem and body cathexis; however, persons with an obese body showed a low level of body cathexis. They showed high interest in appearance regardless of body physique; however, they remain unsatisfied with their appearance. Individuals with an obese body and a standard somatotype showed a high concern with weight. A high fashion opinion leadership was reciprocal to a high interest in appearance and satisfaction with appearance. Korean female students showed an indirect positive effect on fashion opinion leadership through body cathexis, self-esteem, interest in appearance, and satisfaction with appearance. A thin body showed a positive effect on fashion opinion leadership and an obese body had a negative effect. Fashion innovativeness was directly influenced persons with a high degree of self-esteem and interest in appearance. Japanese female students were directly affected by fashion innovativeness; however, Korean female students were indirectly affected by fashion innovativeness through self-esteem and interest in appearance.

화상분석(image analysis)을 이용하여 제품의 외관(外觀) 품질을 정량적으로 추정할 수 있는 소프트 센서를 설계하고, 이를 제품의 품질 모니터링에 적용하는 연구를 수행하였다. 여기에 사용된 방법론은 크게 다음의 세 단계로 구성되어 있다: (1) 웨이블릿 변환(wavelet transform)을 이용한 화상으로부터의 질감(texture) 특징 추출, (2) 추출된 질감특징의 부공간 투영(projection on subspace)을 통한 제품 외관의 추정, 그리고 (3) 질감특징의 잠재변수(latent variables) 즉, 외관의 수치적 추정치를 목적에 맞게 사용. 이 방법에서는 제품의 외관을 서로 다른 불연속적인 부류로의 분류 보다는, 연속적인 외관 변화를 일관적이고 정량적으로 추정하는데 초점을 두고자 한다. 이 방법은 인조대리석 외관의 수치적 추정과 품질 모니터링 적용사례를 통해 설명되었다.

This research studies socio-cultural hegemony change focused on male society through contemporary ideal masculine images of Asian men (especially Korean and Chinese men). Participants were: South Korean men in and around Seoul and Chinese men in Beijing and Shanghai. The youngest survey participants in their 20's and the oldest in their 40's were asked about their present men's appearance images and masculinity as well as asked to evaluate satisfaction with their own style, and interest in fashion trends on a 5-point Likert scale. In this research, an ideal masculinity was tested by 6 characters (traditional masculinity, macho masculinity, androgynous masculinity, adolescent masculinity, trendy masculinity, and general masculinity) as male avatars. Asian men's consciousness of an ideal masculinity image has moved gradually from traditional masculinity to trendy masculinity, leading to new roles in a socio-cultural agenda. Korean and Chinese men are more interested in appearance and notice fashionable styles to be trendy that follow the latest fashion because most other Asian men reflect a traditional masculinity as an ideal appearance image.
