This study is for analyzing best band in image matching using correlation coefficient of left and right images of stereo image pair, lot red, green, blue band images separated from color aerial photo and gray image converted from the same color aerial photo image. The image matching is applied to construct Digital Elevation Model(DEM) or terrain data. The correlation coefficients and variation by change of pixel patch size are computed from pixel patches of which sizes are $11{\times}11{\sim}101{\times}101$. Consequently, the correlation coefficient in red band image is highest. The lowest is in blue band. Therefore, to construct terrain data using image matching, the red band image is preferable. As the size of pixel patch is growing, the correlation coefficient is increasing. But increasing rate declines from $51{\times}51$ image patch size and above. It is proved that the smaller pixel patch size than $51{\times}51$ is applied to construct terrain data using image matching.

This study is a descriptive research to establish a positioning strategy of nursing service image, making a perception map on each hospital's nursing service image and ranking construct factors of nursing service image. The results in this study were as follows; 1. The rank of construct factors of nursing service image which were thought important by subjects was the first 'Kindness', the second 'Reliability', the third 'Professional Knowledge', the fourth 'Responsibility', and the fifth 'Advanced Nursing Skill'. 2. The perception map for nursing service image on each hospital showed a hierarchial structure and positioned the first B hospital, the second C hospital, the third D hospital, the fourth A hospital, and the fifth E hospital. The perception map for construct factors of nursing service image and hospitals showed the first dimension : 'Reliability', the second dimension : Kindness', the third dimension : 'Mission', 'Accuracy', 'Neat Appearance', and 'Ethical Aspect', and the fourth dimension : 'Client Advocate', 'Humanistic Consideration', 'Professional Knowledge', 'Responsibility', and 'Advanced Nursing Skill'. 3. The findings of subject's characteristics which affected degree of likeness on each hospital nursing service image to make a marketing strategy were as follows : In A hospital D hospital, and E hospital, the subject group whose hospital dates were under 1 week, education level was upper graduate university, and age was between 40's and 50's, were appeared to have low nursing service image on following construct factors : 'Kindness', 'Reliability', 'Responsibility', 'Mission', 'Neat Appearance', and 'Humanistic Consideration'. In B hospital and C hospital the subject group whose hospital dates were under 1 week or over 5 weeks, sex was woman, and age was 20' s or 40's, having a admission experience on subject hospitals, were appeared to have low nursing service image on following construct factors : 'Professional Knowledge', 'Advanced Nursing Skill', 'Ethical Aspect', and 'Humanistic Consideration'. As the based on above results, nursing managers can use positioning method to develope a marketing strategy for nursing service image.

In this study, two alternative models are developed and tested in order to investigate the relationship between retailer image and its private brand attitude. The halo effect model hypothesizes that retailer image is related as a halo in private brand evaluation and the summary construct model hypothesizes that retailer image functions as a summary construct of private brand evaluation. The results indicate there are moderating effects of 1) familiarity with a private brand and 2) the characteristics of a product category High familiarity is related with the summary construct model and low familiarity the halo effect model. In private brand food, the summary construct model fits better and explains more adequately that private brand evaluation influences retailer image as a summary construct. In private brand clothes, however, the halo effect model performs better in explaining the relationship between retailer image and private brand attitude.

The purpose of this research is to construct real-time image acquisition system for a line-scan inspection system as a computer vision system. To construct the line-scan inspection system, many problem arise. However, problems of image acquisitions using linear CCD are practically studied in this paper. These problems are concerned to proper lighting systems, relations with handling system, camera systems, and impacts due to the noise of environment. These problems are examined separately, and proper configurations for each case are suggested to construct the line-scan image acquisition system.

Cephalogram is one of the most important tool in researching growth and development of craniofacial area, orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. But its inherent distortion of actual length and angles during projecting three dimensional object to two dimensional plane might cause errors in quantitative analysis of shape and size. three dimensional high quality images can be obtained using computerized tomogram and have reported in literatures. Considering its expenses and amount of exposure to radiation, limitations still remain to be solved in its application to routine practice. construction of three dimensional image using principle of orientator can be obtained by biplanar stereoradiography. Theoretically two images, lateral and P-A can be used to construct three dimensional image provided that those are taken at same time by two different focal spots. As two images(lateral and P-A) obtained by conventional cephalogram have different head posture, those need compensation to construct three dimensional images. This study introduced principle of computerized head posture compensation and showed that conventional cephalogram could be used to construct three dimensional image and could be applied to routine orthodontic practice.

Current studies validate the Body Positive Scale (BP Scale) as a self-assessment instrument that captures four dimensions of the positive body image construct. We developed and evaluated a 17-item BP Scale using two focus group interviews and four independent samples (n = 1,379) of Korean women who completed online survey questionnaires. We generated an initial pool of items via literature review, content validation with experts, and focus group interviews, subsequently refining the items through exploratory analysis (Study 1). We confirmed the BP Scale's underlying dimensions with young Korean female samples (Study 2, Study 4) and with a community sample (Study 3). We also examined the construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability over a six-week interval. Overall, the results supported that the four-factor BP Scale demonstrates adequate validity and reliability in measuring positive body image among Korean women. The BP Scale provides a method for researchers and practitioners to understand and assess individuals' positive body image in a multifaceted manner.

We have analyzed the fluorescence image obtaining from green fluorescence protein (GFP). In order to monitor the fluorescence of specific gene, we used the amyloid precursor protein promoter which has been known to act as a major role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. The promoter from - 3.0 kb to + 100 base pair was inserted into the gene expression monitoring GFP vector purchased from Clontech. This construct was transfected into the PC 12 and fibroblast cells and the fluorescence image was captured by two kinds of methods. One is using cheaper CCD camera and other is SIT-CCD camera. or the higher sensitivity of the fluorescence image, we developed the multiple image grabbing program. As a results, the fluorescence image by conventional CCD camera have the similar sensitivity compared with that of the SIT-camera by applying the multiple image grabbing programs. By this system. it will be possible to construct the fluorescence monitoring system with lower cost. And gene expression in real time by fluorescence image will be possible without changing the fluorescence images.

This paper proposes a new method to construct a panorama image from video sequences captured by the video camcoder revolving on the center axis of the tripod. The proposed method is consisted of two algorithms; frame selection and image mosaics. In order to select frames to construct the panorama image, we employ the interpolation search using the information in overlapped areas. This method can search suitable frames quickly. We construct an image mosaic using the projective transform induced from four pairs of quasi-features. The conventional methods select feature points by using only texture information, but the presented method in this paper uses the position of each feature point as well. We make an experiment on the proposed method with real video sequences. The results show that the proposed method is better than the conventional one in terms of image quality.

It is very important to construct statistical model in order to exactly estimate the signal variance from the noisy image. By using estimated variance of original image, in general, Wiener filter is constructed, and it is applied to the noisy image. In this paper, we propose a new statistical mixture modeling of wavelet coefficients for image denoising. Firstly, a simple classification method is used to construct a significance map that captures significant property of wavelet coefficients. Based upon the significance map, the state probabilities of mixture model is computed, and signal variance is estimated by using them. Experimental results show that the proposed method yields 0.1-0.2㏈ higher PSNR than conventional methods for image denoising.

This research aims to construct a model that combines brand love, brand loyalty, brand image, customer satisfaction, and service quality into a single model, with brand loyalty coming foremost, and test its predictive power in building brand love. Moreover, mediating effect of customer satisfaction and brand image on service quality and brand loyalty affecting brand love was checked. The study adopted an alliance context using an existing SERVQUAL model, a bi-dimensional aspect of brand loyalty and parasocial love relationship theory, to identify brand love as a construct or outcome in the consumer-brand relationship. Using a quantitative approach, survey questionnaires were distributed by unrestricted random sampling among 507 Saudia Airlines customers. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with SmartPLS 3.0. The results revealed significant relationships between four variables except for the brand image. It was found that brand image had no mediating effect on the relationship between service quality and customer loyalty. The outcome of this study highlights the importance of airline alliances for service quality, which leads to positive customer satisfaction, brand image, and customer loyalty. A unique contribution of the study is that it revealed that brand loyalty is also an antecedent of brand love.
