We have implemented a technique to correct the brightness, saturation, and contrast of an image according to the degree of light, and further compensate the backlight. Backlight compensation can be done automatically or manually. For manual backlight compensation, we have to select the region of interest (ROI). ROI can be selected by connecting the outline of the desired object. We make users select the region delicately with the new magnetic lasso tool. The previous lasso tool has a disadvantage that the start point and the end point must be connected. However, the proposed lasso tool has the advantage of selecting the region of interest without connecting the start point and the end point. We can automatically obtain various results of backlight compensation by adjusting the number of k-means clusters for texture extraction and the threshold value for binarization.

This paper aims to analyze the pronunciation of Korean Point-of-Interest (POI) data, which consist of 224 sound files, from the phonological point of view, adapting the notion of prosodic word within the framework of Intonational Phonology. Each POI word is broken down into prosodic words, which are defined as the minimal sequence of segments which can be produced as one Accentual Phrase (AP). Then the pronunciation of the POI word considering its prosodic words are analyzed. The results show that: in most cases, a prosodic word is realized as one AP; that, in some cases, two prosodic words are pronounced as one AP: and that no cases are found where 3 prosodic words are realized as one AP.

Among available people counting methods, map-based approaches based on moving interest points have shown good performance. However, the stationary people counting is challenging in such methods since all static points of interest are considered as background. To include stationary people in counting, it is needed to discriminate between the static points of stationary people and the background region. In this paper, we propose a people counting method based on using both moving and static points. The proposed method separates the moving and static points by motion information. Then, the static points of the stationary people are classified using foreground mask processing and point pattern analysis. The experimental results reveal that the proposed method provides more accurate count estimation by including stationary people. Also, the background updating is enabled to solve the static point misclassification problem due to background changes.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the high school students' interests and and perceptions about the soil concepts. The data were obtained from 72 boys and 82 girls at a high school in Daegu area. The questionnaires were developed 8 questions for students' interest and 10 questions for students' understanding. The results of this study were as follows. In the examination of students' interest on the soil concepts, boys showed 3.2point(64.9%) out of 5point and girls showed 3.2point(64.6%) out of 5 point. Furthermore, a percentage of correct answers for understanding on the soil concepts was 47.4%. In detail, Boys had 48.2% and girls had 46.6%, boys showed higher understanding about soil concepts than girls. And students understood soil concepts by a visible side, to approach the soil concepts from a biological point of view, rather than a geologic one. Also high school students didn't think soil concepts to consist of minerals and rocks from a geologic point of view. Correlation between interest and understanding on the soil concepts was very weak by showing r=.170(p<.05).

The objective of this research is to investigate the behavior of the $F\"{o}rstner$ interest operator, which has been widely used for detecting distinct points in the field of digital photogrammetry and computer vision, in scale space. Considering the hugh volume of digital image utilized in digital photogrammetry, the scale space (image pyramid) approach which appears to be a solution for enhancing image processing, began to gain its attention. The investigation of the $F\"{o}rstner$ interest operator in scale space generated by the Gaussian kernel shows its behavior and feasibility for being used in practice.

This paper proposes a method of occluded number recognition by matching interest points. Interest points of input pattern are found via SURF features extracting and matched to interest points of clusters in database following three steps: SURF matching, coordinate matching and SURF matching on coordinate matched points. Then the satisfied interest points are counted to compute matching rate of each cluster. The input pattern will be assigned to cluster having highest matching rate. We have experimented our method to different numerical fonts and got encouraging results.

The objective of this study was to determine the status of current chapel courses and analyze the necessity of online chapel courses. Students' interest, failure experience, perceived problems, and advantages of current chapel courses were examined. Students' preference, intention of sincerity, and perceived effectiveness of online chapel courses were also determined. Finally, hypothesis tests for the differences of students' interest, failure experience, perceived problems and advantages of current chapel courses, preference, intention of sincerity, and perceived effectiveness of online chapel courses according to gender, school year grade, major of study, and religion were performed. Students' low interest in chapel courses was verified. Even Christian students' interest was below 3 points out of 5-point Likert scale. However, students whose religion was not Christianity felt more coercion and had less interest in chapel courses. They wanted virtualization of chapel courses more. They had more willingness to faithful participation in online chapel courses. This research suggests that virtualization of chapel courses as a solution to chapel resistance is dependent on student's characteristics such as religion, major field of study, and mindset.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of college students' interest in sports media on sports values and sports activities. In order to identify the purpose of this study, college students aged 20 years or older living in Jeonnam region in 2021 were selected as the population. A total of 300 subjects (150 males and 150 females) were selected using the convenient sampling method. The survey tool consisted of a questionnaire on a 5-point scale. Also, the collected data were statistically processed using SPSS version 20.0. The results obtained through this research procedure are as follows. First, it was found that college students' interest in sports media had a partial influence on sports values. Second, it was found that college students' interest in sports media partially affected their participation in sports. Third, it was found that college students' participation in sports had a partial effect on sports values.

The purpose of this study was to examine the elementary pre-service teachers' interest in biological topics and activities. The instrument to survey the interest of them consists of 8 domains containing 27 topic items and 7 domains containing 12 activity items(three-point from 0 to 2 Likert scale). Data were collected from 108 pre-service teachers. The interest level in the topics was high, but the interest level in the activities was average. There was not different between interest levels of females and males in both topic and activity components (p > .05). Among the topics, the 'genetics' domain correlated strongly with the domains of 'nutrition and digestion', 'circulation', 'respiration' and 'nervous system', and the 'respiration' domain correlated with the 'circulation' domain(r >.450, p<.01). The correlation between the domains of 'out-of class experience activity' and 'visual information activity', and 'experimental performance following procedure' and 'discussing and debating'(r >.450, p<.01). This results suggested that the educational contents including learning materials and experiential activities be developed to activate the interest of elementary pre-service teachers in biology.

This study aims to analyze and compare environmental attitudes of interest groups, including visitors, local residents, Buddhist monks, and staff of the Korea National Park Service in Gayasan National Park. To achieve this purpose, five hypotheses were formulated and tested. While three hypotheses were statistically rejected, two were accepted. In every interest group, the environmental attitude level of women was higher than that of men. Local residents particularly showed statistically significant differences in accordance with occupation. The difference in environmental attitude between visitors and local residents was not statistically significant. Finally, the environmental attitude level between interest groups was divided into three groups. The staff of the Korea National Park Service showed the highest level of environmental attitude, followed by Buddhist monks, and a group of visitors and residents recorded the lowest. However, the average level of environmental attitude of every interest group scored above the mid-point of 3. Therefore, it can be concluded that there exists no difference between or conflicts among interest groups related to strengthening conservation and management policies regarding the protection of Gayasan National Park.
