In this paper, we propose a simple algorithm to calculate the numbers of the passing cars by using an image processing sensor for the digital black and white images with 256 tone level. Shadow is one of the most troublesome factor in image processing. By differencing the tone level, we cannot discriminate between the body of the car and its shadow. In our proposed algorithm, the area of the shadow is excluded by recognizing the position of each traffic lane. For real-time operation and simple calculation, two lines of the tone level are extracted and the existences of cars are recognized. In the experimental application on a high-way, the recognition rate of the real-time operation is more than 94%.

The purpose of this study was to develop a computer-animated pure tone audiometry for screening (CAPTAS) for toddler and to determine its validity and reliability. The CAPTAS utilizes an animated cartoon story producing visual and auditory stimuli. The intensities were 40 dB, 60 dB, 80 dB. The frequencies were 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, and 4000 Hz. The subjects were 20 (9 males and 11 females) severely hearing impaired children. As a result, The correlation coefficient between mean hearing threshold of children who were able to perform PTA and average hearing threshold of CAPTAS was performed and it revealed CAPTAS's high validity. And to verify the reliability of the re-test, all children had the CAPTAS and repeated it periodically. The result confirmed the reliability.

WECPNL(Weighted Equivalent Continuous Perceived Noise Level) which designated currently in Domestic 'The Stanrd Method of Measuring Noise and Vibration' is composed of different factor with WECPNL that published in ICAO. Domestic WECPNL is concerned in application of $L_{MAX}$ measurement. On the other hand, ICAO's WECPNL is based on EPNL that includes factors of the pure tone correction and the duration time. NNI and NEF also are each based on PNL and EPNL. Because a military aircraft noise, especially, has the pure tone of high frequency and the irregular duration, it seems to be undesirable to estimate aircraft noise for using Domestic WECPNL. Therefore, this study was performed to detect a flaw of Korean WECPNL, through comparison of the trend of each other aircraft noise index by using equivalent rawdata.

The purposes of this study were to analyze the color preference for clothing of Korean male and female adults and to provide the useful data for the fashion color planning. The result of this study showed that the preferences in hue and tone are different mainly by season. The most preferred colors in clothing are YR, B and Y. Y is preferred in spring, B and W in summe, YR in fall, Gy and Black in winter. The most preferred tones in clothing are pale tone in spring and summer, dark tone in fall and winter. The color preference for casual wear is more varied than the color preference for formal wear. The tones of low saturation are preferred for formal wear and the tones of high saturation are preferred for casual wear.

Chesin-1 telephone currently used in Korea is quite similar in design to early Japanese model of Type-4 telephone which is now being replaced by Type-600 having much improved characteristics. Chesin-1 telephone has a relatively high side-tone level, since the line impedance was taken as a purely resistive component for simplicity in the design of its transmission networks. To meet a current trend of using a smaller diameter of wire for telephone line, it is necessary to improve the present type which has a limited receiving efficiency. A new telephone set has been designed to have an amplifier and a R-C coupled side-tone balancing network. The set offers 8dB gain in the overall performance of transmitting and receiving without any unbearable side-tone disturbances. The paper describes both theoretical and experimental characteristics of the new set.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the pitch rules of Chinese poetry. Pitch rules are concerned with the high tone and the low tone. Because Chinese poetry is a fixed form of verse, it must keep pitch rules to compose Chinese poetry. But until now there has been no acoustic study of pitch rules of Chinese poetry. So, for the first time the present study investigates pitch rules of Chinese poetry acoustically. Pitch contours were analyzed from the sound spectrogram made by Praat. Results showed that actual pitch patterns did not coincide with theoretical pitch rules in reciting Chinese poetry. Therefore, in studying Chinese classics, the Chinese poetry, which has traditionally been considered to be recited according to original Chinese pitch rules, must now be considered in terms of how pitch rules may have changed over time in Korea since it was first introduce to Korean scholars.

High dynamic range (HDR) images are becoming pervasive due to capturing or rendering of a wider range of luminance, but their special display equipment is difficult to be popularized because of high cost and technological problem. Thus, HDR images must be adapted to the conventional display devices by applying tone mapping (TM) operation, which puts forward higher requirements for intellectual property protection of HDR images. As the robustness presents regional diversity in the low dynamic range (LDR) watermarked image after TM, which is different from the traditional watermarking technologies, a concept of watermarking activity is defined and used to distinguish the essential distinction of watermarking between LDR image and HDR image in this paper. Then, a novel robust HDR image watermarking algorithm is proposed against TM operations. Firstly, based on the hybrid processing of redundant discrete wavelet transform and singular value decomposition, the watermark is embedded by modifying the structure information of the HDR image. Distinguished from LDR image watermarking, the high embedding strength can cause more obvious distortion in the high brightness regions of HDR image than the low brightness regions. Thus, a perceptual brightness mask with low complexity is designed to improve the imperceptibility further. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is robust to the existing TM operations, with taking into account the imperceptibility and embedded capacity, which is superior to the current state-of-art HDR image watermarking algorithms.

For last several decades, the color correction methods have been proposed for HDR(high dynamic range) images. However, color distortion problems take place after correcting the colors such as halos, dominant color as well known. Accordingly, this article presents a novel approach in which the method consists of tone-mapping method and cone response function. In the proposed method, the tone mapping method is used to improve the contrast in the given HDR image based on chromatic and achromatic based on the CIEXYZ tristimulus value, expressed in c/m². The cone response function is used to deal with mismatch between corrected image and displayed image as well as to estimate various human visual effects based on the CMCAT2000 color appearance model. The experimental results show that the proposed method yields better performance of color correction over the conventional method in subjective and quantitative quality, and color reproduction.

Tone mapping for High Dynamic Range(HDR) image provides matching human visual perception between real world scene and displayable devices. Recently, a tone mapping algorithm based on localized gamma correction is proposed. This algorithm is using human visual properties of contrast and colorfulness with background intensity, generating a weight map for gamma correction. However, this method have limitations of controlling enhancement region as well as generating halo artifacts caused by the weight map construction. To overcome aforementioned limitations, proposed algorithm in this paper modifies previous weight map, considering base layer intensity of input luminance channel. By determining enhancement region locally and globally based on base layer intensity, gamma values are corrected accordingly. Therefore, proposed algorithm selectively enhances local brightness and controls strength of edges. Subjective evaluation using z-score shows that our proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional methods.
