The aim of the thesis is to examine why children comics books are not popular in Korea and how to analyze the causes for solution. The way for solving the problems is to make academic events and make a public opinion about children comic books. In the subject, we introduce children comic books and define them, actually when we do that, we have realized that most people misunderstand children comic books so we should change them to take the adventagement. Next, Through academic events, we have enumerated the variety of opinions. Mainly, we have concluded about the improvement of the misunderstanding comics. There are some prejudices of children comics. First, we are in a need of comics, that are very creative and sensitive. They are very important to develop children's character. Second, Korean people think, The most important part of the literature is a letter more than pictures, That causes not to develop motion pictures, cartoons and even plays. Third also, creative children comics don't effect not only studying but also children violence. Fourth, We can't ignore the prejudice of the comic books from parents, The main reason why comic books aren't popular in korea is the University entrance examination system that makes student like a studying meachine. The conculusion of this study is that We will educate Korean people to understand comic books and redefine them for development the comic books.

In the future there would be many kinds of digital images for many industrial markets. 3D stereoscopic images for variable fields; medical operation, film and animation, broadcasting, internet, game, or design for art and architecture. And many people to work about computer programming, and digital image making will concern about it more and more. However, these kinds works and studies are focused on the professional technical fields like 3D display or computer programming technology so far. To revitalize the market of a variable stereoscopic contents, there should build up the foundation for easy processing of the making stereoscopic images. This paper is based on stereoscopic making skills for anaglyph system. An anaglyph system has an old history about making stereoscopic images, and very simple method to produce the stereoscopic images. Particularly this study is focused on color compositing technique, and camera positioning on the compositing system. It will help optimization of the environments to create 3D motion graphic and animation contents.

The purpose of this paper is constructed a HEEAAS(Human Emotional Expression Animaion System), which is an animation system to show both the face and the body motion from the inputted voice about just 4 types of emotions such as fear, dislike, surprise and normal. To implement our paper, we chose the korean young man in his twenties who was to show appropriate emotions the most correctly. Also, we have focused on reducing the processing time about making the real animation in making both face and body codes of emotions from the inputted voice signal. That is, we can reduce the search time to use the binary search technique from the face and body motion databases, Throughout the experiment, we have a 99.9% accuracy of the real emotional expression in the cartoon animation.

Recently, webtoons-based animations have been expanding in Korea, where the role of mobile devices is growing, and media videos such as "YouTube" and "Tik-Tok," which have shorter screening and production cycles than traditional feature films, dramas, and animations, are attracting attention and being enjoyed by public. In order to produce animation content that fits the trend of this shortening video and production cycle, efficiency must be increased not only in story but also in production. Production methods and production technologies need changes to increase efficiency. Animation using motion capture, which is highly production-efficient, is widely used in movies that shows realistic movements, but still has little use in producing cartoon-style animations with exaggerated movements. We analyzed the production method of 2D animation and CG animation and applied the result to CG animation to increase the efficiency of production and production. The methods of production through such experiments are expected to help improve the efficiency of producing animation content that is suitable for the latest trends such as webtoon animation.

Generally, the animation and image production process consists of three stages: Pre-Production, Main-Production, and Post-Production. Real-time video production is also made based on this configuration. On the premise of the increase of productivity by reducing the production time effectively in the main production stage that takes the most time, this study aims to summarize the process of producing videos, focusing on the concrete main production stage. To do this, we propose a method for creating a real-time image from the point of view of the general user using Unity 3D, one of the game engines. Also, this study utilizes the Cinemachine feature provided by Unity 3D, which is suitable for the implementation of the proposed module structure.

In computer vision, visual tracking method addresses the problem of localizing an specific object in video sequence according to the bounding box. In this paper, we propose a tracking method by introducing the feature correlation comparison into the siamese network to increase its matching identification. We propose a way to compute location of object to improve matching performance by a correlation operation, which locates parts for solving the searching problem. The higher layer in the network can extract a lot of object information. The lower layer has many location information. To reduce error rate of the object center point, we built a siamese network that extracts the distribution and location information of target objects. As a result of the experiment, the average center error rate was less than 25%.

Simulacra theory as propounded by Jean Baudrillard in his seminal treatise, "Simulacra and Simulation," explores the significance of images, media and art in contemporary culture. Its central theoretical premise is the simulacrum, a sign or symbol that plays a crucial role in constructing perceived reality but which lacks a real-world referent. In Michel Gondry creates simulacra in the form of hallucinatory dream imagery by combining stop-motion animation and live-action elements. As experimental film-making that combines analog and minimum digital technologies, the result is a tour-de-force of synchronization. This study analyzes the film's technique and expressive content and, by adopting simulacra theory as a conceptual framework, aims to provide a better understanding of Gondry's work.

The video game industry is obsessed by the perception of "Next Generation Game". Appearance of the next generation game console has required the video game industry to renovate new technologies for their entire production. This tendency increases a huge mount of production cost. Game companies have to hire more designers to create a solid concept, artists to generate more detailed content, and programmers to optimize for more complex hardware. All those high cost efforts provide great locking games, but the potential of next generation game consoles does not end there. They also bring possibilities of the new types of gameplay. Next generation game contains a much larger pool of memories for every video game elements. The entire video game used to use roughly 800 animation files, but next generation game is pushing scripted event well over 4000 animation flies. That allows a lot of very unique custom animation for pretty much every action in the game. It gives game players much more vivid and realistic appreciation of the virtual world. Players are not being able to see any recycling of the same animation over and over when they are playing next generation game. The main purpose of this thesis is that defines the concept of next generation game and analyzes new animation-pipeline to be used in the shooter games.

At present, it is very common to use techniques beyond the 2D (two-dimensional) in animations which are found in motion pictures, OVA and TV series. As you can see, PIXAR and Disney have reduced their 2D departments and recently put more effort into 3D (three-dimensional) animation. There is no doubt that producing 3D animation is the big trend. Along with this trend, the national education institutions and the national support policies are also changing to be supportive of 3D animations. We, however, should ask ourselves, if we are on the right track with this change. Through the analysis of the methods of creating 2D animation which we should keep as it is, but instead we import and incorporate with 3D techniques of Japanese 2D animation, I would like to present the importance and the significance of the 2D animation and also to suggest an effective way to create 2D fused with 3D computer graphics techniques.

In the early 20th century, the some of futurist painter was attempted to represents the 'fast-paced' and 'dynamism' on a two-dimensional picture. The expression of fast-paced and dynamic for look like move image in the painting have evolved as a variety of visual symbol. Visual symbols that represent these movements were settled as the line of the most movement expression in the comic. The of Toriyama Akira gained worldwide popularity is emphasized speed and dynamism as the action genre in cartoon, is nice a data to research the line of the movement expression of cartoon. There is three terms as the action line, The speed line, the effect line on the movement expression in The glossary of in the dictionary of , but it not easy to Separate them by means similar. This study is willing to says the semantically problem of previous lines on the movement expression and to present a new alternative in order to study the line on the movement expression of . This study Separate the line on movement expression from symbolic the perspective and try to newly define by using, was classified lines of four kinds by add the afterimage line on existing the speed line, the motion line, the effect line. First, the speed line was defined as 'The line expressing the movement expression of a moving target as the concept of speed'. It on the way of expression was subdivided the direct as speed line when it alter the shape of the target and the indirect speed line when it alter the background of the target. Second, the motion line was defined as 'The line simplified the moving form or the moving path of moving target'. Third, the effect line was defined as 'the line emphasizing the movement expression of a moving target by Sensory expression or emotional expression. Fourth, the afterimage lines was defined as 'The line expressing slowly moving or swaying the movement expression of target to the afterimage effect. The terminology presented in this study will be able to help the understanding of the line on the movement expression .
