The history of mankind has been together with the history of image because image provides with excellent information as a communication means. However, this study argues that there is more underlying cause for it. A subject is the subject of unconscious and the role of image is huge in the process toward the subject. Of course, image has been dealt in-depth in psychoanalysis. Film study also applied psychoanalysis on it. However, they were not the approach from the viewpoint with image in the center. Accordingly, this study will verify the image toward the subject and the absoluteness of image. The result of this study is that image intervened deeply in the formation of the subject much higher than the level of simple communication. Since image communicates with the subject on more underlying level, the subject have been always entangled with image and men have delved in image and been attracted to it.

Lately mobile handheld devices such as Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and cellular phones are getting more popular for personal web surfing. However, today most mobile handheld devices have relatively poor web browsing capability due to their low performance so their users have to suffer longer communication latency than those of desktop Personal Computers (PCs). In this paper, we propose an effective pre-refresh mechanism for embedded web browser of mobile handheld devices to reduce this problem. The proposed mechanism uses the idle time to pre-refresh the expired web objects in an embedded web browser's cache memory. It increases the utilization of Central Processing Unit (CPU) power and network bandwidth during the idle time and consequently reduces the client's latency and web browsing cost. An experiment was done using a simulator designed by us to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed mechanism. The experiment result demonstrates that it has a good performance to make web surfing faster.

This study aims to provide implications for mobile foreign language vocabulary learning app by analyzing the effects of mobile vocabulary learning app based on character animation. For this purpose, we applied the learning application designed with character animation and text, and the application designed with text only to two groups of learners, and analyzed the effect. As a result, we found that application designed with character animation and text was useful in recognition frequency and duration concerning learning. Regarding learning outcomes, we found that it is useful not only in memory but also in learning interest and motivation. This study provides implications for learning method and design development of mobile-based foreign language vocabulary learning application which actively using recently.

Steganography is a kind of data hiding which can hide secret information to digital media. It is performed so that another person does not recognize any information and make secret communication between each other. Specially, it is not easy to hide secret information without being visually recognized in scanned text image or cartoon image etc. In this paper, we propose an improved method that can embed a large quantity of secret information in a binary image without noticeable artifacts. Binary cartoon image is divided into block of 3-by-3 sizes. Secret information is embedded by using run-length of 8-neighborhood pixels except for the center pixel of the block. To improve the embedding capacity, we embed it into center pixel under to some condition.

The extraction of important features in cancer cell image analysis is a key process in grading renal cell carcinoma. In this study, we applied three-dimensional (3D) texture feature extraction methods to cell nuclei images and evaluated the validity of them for computerized cell nuclei grading. Individual images of 2,423 cell nuclei were extracted from 80 renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). First, we applied the 3D texture mapping method to render the volume of entire tissue sections. Then, we determined the chromatin texture quantitatively by calculating 3D gray-level co-occurrence matrices (3D GLCM) and 3D run length matrices (3D GLRLM). Finally, to demonstrate the suitability of 3D texture features for grading, we performed a discriminant analysis. In addition, we conducted a principal component analysis to obtain optimized texture features. Automatic grading of cell nuclei using 3D texture features had an accuracy of 78.30%. Combining 3D textural and 3D morphological features improved the accuracy to 82.19%. As a comparative study, we also performed a stepwise feature selection. Using the 4 optimized features, we could obtain more improved accuracy of 84.32%. Three dimensional texture features have potential for use as fundamental elements in developing a new nuclear grading system with accurate diagnosis and predicting prognosis.

In this paper, we have developed a UPnP-OSGi Bundle for digital convergence based on UPnP middleware. UPnP-OSGi bundle is demanded sustaining realtime monitering system based on UPnP middleware that is possible multimedia ability of a piece with a multiplicity of service and joint user data , service lifecycle , management division service for home network system offered convergence service. This bundle is possible a multiplicity of control and monitering service segmentation so develop a multiplicity of service is easy. and provide zero-configuration system.

In this paper, we propose and fabricate the dual-band microstrip patch antenna with parasitic patch for S-DMB(Satellite-Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) and ITS (Intelligent Transport System) services. The measured - 10 dB bandwidth and the minimum return loss is 300 MHz and - 27 dB for S-DMB, 600 MHz and -17 dB for ITS, respectively. It is noticed that the measured and simulated results are agreed well. The S-DMB antenna has conical beam pattern in the vertical plane and has omni-directional beam pattern in the horizontal plane. The conical beam pattern has the maximum gain about 4.2 dBi when ${\theta}$ is $45^{\circ}$ at the center frequency of 2.6 GHz. The ITS antenna has directional beam pattern in the vertical plane that has maximum gain about 6.4 dBi when ${\theta}$ is $0^{\circ}$ at the center frequency of 5.8 GHz.

2006년 본 방송을 시작한 지상파 DMB 방송은 기존의 방송과 달리 하나의 물리 채널에 다양한 비디오와 오디오 서비스가 복합적이고 비 순차적인 형태로 제공되기 때문에 기존의 TV, Radio와 같은 기기 중심의 단순한 user interface 의 사용으로는 시청취에 제약이 발생한다. 따라서 비디오와 오디오, 오디오와 데이터, 비디오와 데이터와 같이 멀티 미디어 방송을 이동 중 시청취할 수 있는 새로운 형태의 user interface에 대한 개발이 필요하다. DMB 방송의 Information architecture 설계를 위한 기본적인 방송 관련 정보를 정의하였고, DMB 방송의 특징이라 할 수 있는 video service에 대한 고찰을 통해 DMB 방송 관련 기본 정보를 고찰하였다. 또한 방송 시청과 관련된 태스크 중심의 시나리오 개발을 통해 기능을 도출하고, 사용자들의 DMB 방송의 예상 시청 행태에 대한 조사 결과를 참조하여 필수적인 기능 중심으로 사용하기 쉽고, 기존 방송과 동일한 다양한 사용자를 고려하여 직관적인 인터페이스와 인터랙션을 제공하도록 설계하였다. 세부 UI 설계 단계에서는 기기 특성에 의한 제약 사항을 확인하고 방송구조의 시각화 대안 탐구 및 신호 해석에 의한 지연에 대한 민감도를 조사하고 방송 시청을 위한 화면 설계 및 네비게이션 방법을 설계하였다.

The recent advances in multimedia signal coding and transmission technologies allow lots of users to watch videos on small LCD displays. In this paper, we briefly describe an intelligent display technique to provide small-display-viewers with comfortable experiences, and study the minimum image size tolerated and utility of displaying region of interest (ROI) only when needed. The study, with 111 participants, examines minimum image size to ensure viewers pleasant viewing experiences, and evaluates the degree of satisfaction when they are viewed with region of interest (ROI) only. The experimental results show that the ROI display enhances the viewers' satisfaction when the image size becomes less than $320{\times}240$, and thus it is useful to provide the intelligent display, if necessary, which can extract and display ROI only.
