A video-zoom driven audio-zoom algorithm is proposed to provide audio zooming effects according to the degree of video-zoom. The proposed algorithm is designed based on a super-directive beamformer operating with a 4-channel microphone array in conjunction with a soft masking process that uses the phase differences between microphones. The audio-zoom processed signal is obtained by multiplying the audio gain derived from the video-zoom level by the masked signal. The proposed algorithm is then implemented on a portable digital imaging device with a clock speed of 600 MHz after different levels of optimization, such as algorithmic level, C-code and memory optimization. As a result, the processing time of the proposed audio-zoom algorithm occupies 14.6% or less of the clock speed of the device. The performance evaluation conducted in a semi-anechoic chamber shows that the signals from the front direction can be amplified by approximately 10 dB compared to the other directions.

본 논문에서는 FTV(Free-viewpoint TV) 서비스에서, 몰입도를 향상시킬 수 있는 유효 잡음 이용 입체 음향효과 방법을 제안한다. 농구장에서 초지향성 마이크 및 무선 마이크를 사용하여 선수와 심판의 연속적인 음향 정보를 획득함으로써 주파수 스펙트럼을 관찰하였으며, 스펙트럼을 분석하여 시청자가 Zoom-in을 할 경우, 유효 주파수 여부를 판단하였다. 따라서 FTV 서비스에서 시청자가 피사체를 향해 Zoom-in 시, 제거대상이었던 잡음을 활용할 필요가 있음을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 향후 FTV의 입체 음향 연구에 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of real-time remote video instruction using zoom on learners' English reading achievement. The study also sought to identify the efficiency of zoom video lectures and consider supplementing them by surveying learners' opinions and satisfaction regarding zoom video lectures. To this end, control and experimental groups were set up, and two achievement tests and a questionnaire were conducted. The study's results demonstrated that zoom video lectures have a positive effect on learners' English reading achievement. The questionnaire found that learners are satisfied with zoom video lectures for the following reasons: 'increased interest in and motivation towards learning', 'self-directed learning', 'active interaction', 'ease of access', 'ease of information retrieval'. At the same time, the questionnaire also found that some learners are dissatisfied with zoom video lectures due to 'mechanical errors or defects', 'poor audio quality', and 'the need to add customized functions for efficient classes'. In practice, zoom video lectures must be supplemented with automatic attendance processing, convenient data upload and download, and more efficient video screen management. Given the recent increase in online classes, we, as instructors, must develop teaching activities and/or strategies for video lectures that can encourage active participation by learners.

코로나 바이러스의 영향으로 교수자와 학습자는 비대면 수업을 해야 하는 상황이 되었다. 갑작스러운 상황에 충분한 준비를 하지 못한 상태에서 비대면 수업이 진행되었고 여러 가지 문제점들이 발생했다. 본 연구는 비대면 미디 수업 시 생기는 문제점을 파악하여 개선하고자 하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대면과 비대면 수업 시 사용할 수 있는 기자재의 차이로 인한 문제점이 있었다. 이에 컴퓨터 운영 체제에 상관없이 설치 가능하고 기능에 제한 없이 무료 사용할 수 있는 DAW인 리퍼(Reaper)를 사용하는 것으로 개선 방안을 찾을 수 있었다. 둘째, 줌(Zoom)의 화면 공유 기능을 사용할 시 DAW에서 오디오 인터페이스의 드라이버를 선택할 수 없어 레이턴시(Latency)를 줄일 수 없는 문제점이 있었다. 교수자 관점에서는 오디오 아웃풋을 인풋으로 다시 받아 송출하는 방식으로 개선하였다. 또한 Windows 운영체제를 사용하며 오디오 인터페이스가 없는 학습자는 실습 시 레이턴시로 인한 불편함이 생기는데 Asio4all을 설치하여 레이턴시를 줄일 수 있었다. 셋째, 컴퓨터의 리소스 부족으로 화질 저하 및 화면 끊김 현상이 있었다. 이를 개선하기 위해 캡처 보드를 사용하여 2대의 컴퓨터를 연결하여 리소스를 분산하여 고화질을 유지하면서 화면 끊김 현상을 개선할 수 있었으며, 비엔나 앙상블 프로를 사용하여 1대의 컴퓨터를 더 연결하여 추가 리소스를 확보하여 더 많은 플러그인을 사용하면서 비대면 미디 수업을 할 수 있는 시스템 구축에 성공하였다. 연구 결과 비대면 미디 수업의 문제점을 파악하고 개선할 수 있었다.

This study is a comparative survey study conducted to explore the differences in learners' learning flow and learning satisfaction according to the non-face-to-face class operation methods implemented at universities. After implementing different class management methods for the same subject taught by the same instructor non-face-to-face for 15 weeks, each learning flow and learning satisfaction were compared and analyzed, and the collected data were analyzed with IBM SPSS 21.0. As a result of the study, learning flow was high in the order of lectures using real-time ZOOM and recorded lectures using self-studio(3.41±0.91, 3.28±1.01), and learning satisfaction was high in the order of lectures using real-time ZOOM and lectures using the automatic recording system of classes(3.40±0.80, 3.30±0.74). The item with the lowest score was the PPT audio recording lecture in both areas of learning flow and learning satisfaction(2.72±1.04, 1.73±1.04). Considering that system errors such as sound in the smart lecture environment operated for the first time in this study affected the research results, it is suggested that future research should be conducted by supplementing the corresponding part.

This paper describes TVML (TV program Making Language) for automatically generating television programs from text-based script. This language describes the contents of a television program using expression with a high level of abstraction like“title #1”and“zoom-in”. The software used to read a script written in TVML and to automatically generate the program video and audio is called the TVML Player. The paper begins by describing TVML language specifications and the TVML Player. It then describes the“external control mode”of the TVML Player that can be used for applying TVML to interactive applications. Finally, it describes the TVML Editor, a user interface that we developed which enables users having no specialized knowledge of computer languages to make TVML scripts. In addition to its role as a television-program production tool. TVML is expected to have a wide range of applications in the network and multimedia fields.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate users' intuitive stereotypes on non-touch gestures and establish the gesture dictionary that can be applied to gesture-based interaction designs. Background: Recently, the interaction based on non-touch gestures is emerging as an alternative for natural interactions between human and systems. However, in order for non-touch gestures to become a universe interaction method, the studies on what kinds of gestures are intuitive and effective should be prerequisite. Method: In this study, as applicable domains of non-touch gestures, four devices(i.e. TV, Audio, Computer, Car Navigation) and sixteen basic operations(i.e. power on/off, previous/next page, volume up/down, list up/down, zoom in/out, play, cancel, delete, search, mute, save) were drawn from both focus group interview and survey. Then, a user participatory design was performed. The participants were requested to design three gestures suitable to each operation in the devices, and they evaluated intuitiveness, memorability, convenience, and satisfaction of their derived gestures. Through the participatory design, agreement scores, frequencies and planning times of each distinguished gesture were measured. Results: The derived gestures were not different in terms of four devices. However, diverse but common gestures were derived in terms of kinds of operations. In special, manipulative gestures were suitable for all kinds of operations. On the contrary, semantic or descriptive gestures were proper to one-shot operations like power on/off, play, cancel or search. Conclusion: The touchless gesture dictionary was established by mapping intuitive and valuable gestures onto each operation. Application: The dictionary can be applied to interaction designs based on non-touch gestures. Moreover, it will be used as a basic reference for standardizing non-touch gestures.
