Tidal flats provide important indicators that inform the condition of the environment, so we need to monitor them systematically. Currently, the projects to monitor tidal flats by periodically observing the creatures in tidal flats are underway. Still, it is done in a way that people observe directly, so it is not systematic and efficient. In this paper, we propose a background modeling method for tidal flat images that can be applied to a system that automatically monitors creatures living in tidal flats using sensor network technology. The application of sensor network technology makes it difficult to collect enough images due to the limitation of transmission capacity. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method to effectively model the background and generate foreground maps by reflecting the characteristics of tidal flat images in the situation where the number of images to be used for analysis is small. Experimental results show that the proposed method models the background of a tidal flat image easily and accurately.

This research was to investigate and study on 92 Dental Technicians who had had some experience of working or being employed at dental craft-shops or craft-rooms in Seoul area and had transferred to other types of occupation, with regard to their reasons for changing their profession. For an approach to the study, some questionnaires and interview including 3 aspects of in quiriesmental, economic and social backgrounds-were administered, and major findings are as follows ; 1. The ages in which transferring to other kinds of job happened occurred mostly from 20 to 30(78.26%) an a group of subjects whose ages ranged from 20 to 30 years old. And, with regard to their experience of working or being employed at dental craft-shops or craftrooms, the transfer of their profession to the other kinds mosty happened in a group of subjects(94.56%) whose experience of working in the dental field is less than 4 years. 2. The reason of transfer with reference to the mental background was mostly mattered in a group that expressed "Excessive Work Duties"(34.78%), and most lowly mattered in a group of subjets who had "Certain Relations with Dentists"(8.70%). Thus, it appeared that the biggest reason of transfer by the mental background was, due to the excessive duty work, not to have Sufficient time to be usualized by dental technicians for their own purpose. 3. With reference to the economical background, a group that declared there was "No Wage Standards in Ratio to Their Labor" was the most in the separation rate as shown 45.56%. And, a group suspecting "No Guarantee for Their Living after Retirement" Showed a separation rate, 9.78%. In other words, the reason for transfer was that they did not receive due wage according to their amount of labor. 4. With reference to the social background, a group making a subject for no good working environments or conditions had a separation rate, 41.30%, which was the most among others, and a group with a subject of "The Rarity of Employment because of Excessive Supply of Dental Technicians" had the rate, 10.87%, which was the lowest. This meant that the major cause of transfer by the social background was a phenomenon for dental technicans to escape from unclean working places.

Intensity of background noise is a factor significantly affecting both subjective evaluation of experienced stress level and associated electroencephalographic (EEG) responses during mental load in noisy environments. In the study on 27 subjects we analyzed the influence of the background white noise (WN) intensity on psychophysiological responses during a word recognition test. Electrocortical activity were recorded during baseline resting state and 40 s long performance on 3 similar Korean word recognition tests with different intensities of background WN (55, 70 and 85 dB).. An important finding in terms of physiological reactivity was similarity of all physiological response profiles between 55 and 70dB WN, i.e., none of physiological variables differentiated the two conditions, while 85dB WN resulted in a significantly different profile of reactions (higher fast beta power in EEG spectra). This condition was characterized by highest subjective rating of experienced stress, had more fast beta activity and had tendency of right hemisphere dominance, emphasizing the role of brain lateralization in negative affect control.

In contemporary architecture, there are developing aspects of variety design in material, image and form. These various architectural trends even change classical media and this concept is based on the background of current idea - digital, information-media, imagination with paradigm. So this study aims to show the present status of the expressions in the contemporary architecture of Korea under its media situation. Namely usual thoughts for design have to be changed because our life is surrounded by many kinds of powerful media signs and various mixed cultural circumstances. And like this, we know for study about the relation between media and current architecture, still more Korean present condition. In chapter one, the background, purpose and method of study are explained. In chapter two, the general concept of media is inquired in this study. In the process of searching for the formingbasic background, the characteristic of this study is understood. In chapter three, this study inquires the aspect of media expression in modern architecture. In chapter four, according to chapter three, this study shows the present status of media expressions in the contemporary architecture of Korea. In chapter five, a synthetic conclusion is presented.

Surveillance system with the fixed field of view generally has an identical background and is easy to extract and segment a moving object. However, it is difficult to extract the object when the gray level of the background is varied due to illumination condition in the real circumstance. In this paper we propose the segmentation algorithm to extract effectively the object in spite of the illumination change. In order to minimize the effect of illumination, the proposed algorithm is composed of three modes according to the background generation and the illuminational change. Then the object is finally obtained by using projection and the morphological operator in post-processing. A good segmentation performance is demonstrated by the simulation result.

This paper summarizes an experimental study on the marine propeller BPF noise. The main objective of this study is to show the worthiness of the noise measurement at the MOERI middle size cavitation tunnel and to acquire useful propeller noise data. Background noise of MOERI(Maritime and Ocean Engineering Research Institute) cavitation tunnel is experimentally analyzed. Experiment carried out in the MOERI cavitation tunnel with wake screen or dummy body, which is simulated the wake. Propeller BPF noise is measured under various operating conditions.

This paper proposes an effective feature compensation method to improve speech recognition performance in time-varying background noise condition. The proposed method employs principal component analysis to improve the variational model composition method. The proposed method is employed to generate multiple environmental models for the PCGMM-based feature compensation scheme. Experimental results prove that the proposed scheme is more effective at improving speech recognition accuracy in various SNR conditions of background music, compared to the conventional front-end methods. It shows 12.14% of average relative improvement in WER compared to the previous variational model composition method.

In image segmentation, for the condition that objects (targets) and background in an image are intertwined or their common boundaries are vague as well as their textures are similar, and the targets in images are greatly variable, the deep learning might be difficult to use. Hence, a new method based on graph theory and guided feathering is proposed. First, it uses a guided feathering algorithm to initially separate the objects from background roughly, then, the image is separated into two different images: foreground image and background image, subsequently, the two images are segmented accurately by using the improved graph-based algorithm respectively, and finally, the two segmented images are merged together as the final segmentation result. For the graph-based new algorithm, it is improved based on MST in three main aspects: (1) the differences between the functions of intra-regional and inter-regional; (2) the function of edge weight; and (3) re-merge mechanism after segmentation in graph mapping. Compared to the traditional algorithms such as region merging, ordinary MST and thresholding, the studied algorithm has the better segmentation accuracy and effect, therefore it has the significant superiority.
