Twitter has been continuously growing since October, 2006. Especially, not only the users and the number of messages have been increasing but also a new concept in social networking called 'micro blogging' has diffused. Within Korea, service such as 'me2day' has already been introduced and the improvement of internet accessibility within mobile devices is expected to expand the 'micro blogs'. In this point, this research is executed to study the new medium, 'micro blog'. To do so, we collected and analyzed Twitter logs of Korean users. Especially, we were curious about the extreme heavy users using Twitter, despite of the linguistic and cultural barrier of the foreign service. Who they are, why and how they use the 'micro blog'. First, we reviewed the general aspect of followers and messages by collecting a certain number of random samples. Using the Lorenz curve we found out that there was the imbalance within the users and based on this phenomenon we deducted an extreme heavy user group. In order to perform further analysis, log analysis was performed on the extreme heavy users. As the result, the users used multiple mobile and desktop 'Twitter' clients. The usage pattern was similar to that of internet usage time but was used during their "micro" time. The users using 'Twitter' not only to spread messages about important information, special events and emotions, but also as a habitual 'chatting tool' to express ordinary personal chats similar to SMS and IM services. In this research, it is proved that 68% of the total messages were ordinary personal chats. Also, with 24% of the total messages were retweets, we were able to find out that virtually connected 'people' and 'relationships' acted as the dominant trigger of their articulation.

This study was conducted to improve the education method for improving perception awareness of the visually-impaired. 'Hear me later' was designed and implemented based on VR content that allows the visually-impaired experience in the eyes and environment. The main target is from middle and high school students to adolescents in their twenties. It is consisted of a student, the user's daily life with waking up at home in the morning, going to school, taking classes at school, and disembarking home late in the dark. In addition, 10 quests are placed on each map to induce users' participation and activity. These quests are a daily activity for non-disabled people, but it is an activity to experience uncomfortable activity for visually impaired people. In order to verify the effect of 'Hear me later', 8 participants in their early teens to early 20s' perception of visually impaired people was measured through pre and post evaluation of VR contents experience. In order to verify the effect of'Hear me later', 8 participants in their early teens to early 20s' perception of visually impaired people was measured through pre-post evaluation of VR experiences. As a result, it was found that in the post-evaluation of VR contents experience, the perception of the visually impaired was increased by 30% compared to the pre-evaluation. In particular, misunderstandings and changes in prejudice toward the visually impaired were remarkable. Through this study, the possibility of a VR-based disability experience education program that can freely construct space-time and maximize the experience was verified. In addition, it laid the foundation to expand it to various fields of improvement of the disabled.

In cases of airborne equipped with SAR, because the occurrence of motion is inevitable, it is necessary to apply autofocus techniques to SAR images to improve the image performance degradations caused by residual errors. Herein, a robust autofocus algorithm based on the minimum entropy criteria is proposed for the real SAR data in the spotlight mode. The convergence condition of the phase error estimation is checked at every iteration and if it is violated, the size of the phase error estimation is adjusted to the convergence condition. The real SAR raw data is used to demonstrate the excellent performance of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a Progressive scalable video coding algorithm using frequency weighting in the DCT domain. Since the human visual system (HVS) can be modeled as a nonlinear point transformation, called the modulation transfer function (MTF), we tan use the frequency weighting matrix to enhance the video image quality. We change this frequency weighting matrix into the frequency shift matrix to apply to the bit-plane coding method for the fine granular scalable (FGS) video coding We also define a new error metric JNDE (just noticeable difference) to measure the perceptual image quality in terms of human vision.

21세기 산업 분야의 근간은 정보통신 산업이며 그 정보통신 기술의 두 축은 인터넷과 무선통신이다. 무선인터넷은 인터넷의 즉시성과 휴대전화와 개인정보단말기(PDA)의 이동성을 합한 개념으로 무선단말기를 통해 인터넷을 이용하거나 전자상거래를 할 수 있는 서비스이다. 무선인터넷은 사용자가 이동 중에도 무선망을 통해 인터넷에 접속, 원하는 서비스를 제공받을 수 있는 환경과 기술이라고 할 수 있다. 이처럼 무선인터넷의 핵심은 모바일 즉, 단순히 선이 없다는 의미가 아니라 이동중이라도 언제 어디서라도 인터넷에 접속이 가능하다는 것이다. 현재 국내 무선인터넷 시장은 각종 사업 제휴, 사업설명회, 세미나 등 무선인터넷과 관련해 활발히 움직이고 있고, 막대한 투자와 기술 개발 또한 지속적으로 진행되고 있다. 이처럼 이동통신사업자, 콘텐츠, 솔루션, 단말기 등의 거의 모든 사업자가 초기 시장 선점을 위한 경쟁이 치열하다. 무선인터넷은 이동통신과 인터넷 서비스의 결합으로 이동중에 무선으로 인터넷 정보를 송, 수신할 수 있는 서비스로서 이는 단순문자정보서비스(SMS)방식과 WAP 또는 ME 브라우저를 탑재한 무선인터넷 서비스 방식으로 구분할 수 있다. 무선인터넷은 차세대 이동통신(IMT-2000)과 접목되면서 기존 IT산업 자체를 전면 재편하게 될 것으로 전망되고있다. 하지만 무선인터넷 활성화를 위해서는 사업자들의 지속적인 기술 개발, 콘텐츠 개발, 요금 체계 개선 등도 중요하지만 정부의 정책적 배려와 무료에 익숙해져 있는 사용자들의 인식 변화 등 다양한 차원에서의 노력이 필요하다.

이동통신 망을 이용한 데이터통신 서비스는 정보형인 무선인터넷 서비스와 통신형인 SMS 서비스로 구분하여 국내 무선인터넷 산업 동향을 파악하고, 해외 주요 국가들과 비교하였다. 우리나라와 일본은 통신형과 정보형 서비스가 균형을 이루며 고루 발전하고 있음을 확인하였으며, 서유럽 지역에서는 통신형 서비스 위주로 발전하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 국내의 데이터통신 서비스는 매출액, 트래픽 면에서 아직 초기시장에 머물러 있으나, 무선인터넷 가입자 기반이 넓고, 높은 성장세를 보이고 있는 등 긍정적인 측면들도 발견할 수 있었다. 또한 WAP/ME 등 브라우저 방식의 가입자가 증가하고 있으며, CP 및 유료 사이트의 수가 증가하는 등 무선인터넷 서비스의 성장을 위한 기반은 잘 갖춰진 것으로 판단된다. 그러므로 가입자 중 실제 사용자의 비중을 늘리고, 이용자들이 좋아하는 콘텐츠를 확대하여 데이터통신의 매출액 비중을 선진 이동통신 국가들 수준으로 높이기 위한 노력이 요구되고 있다.

A various multimedia application services should be developed with techniques of high speed networks and computer. Among these, video-conference system over Internet is useful and important, and the standardization for it should be showed in ITU-T H.323. H.323 standardization consists of four components such as Terminal, MCU(Multipoint Control Unit), Gatekeeper, and Gateway. Among these, the functions of Gatekeeper are as follows, firstly the address translation service to translate the alias address into the IP address, secondary conference admission control service to control of conference start and termination, thirdly bandwidth management service for H.323 terminals. In this paper, we implemented the Gatekeeper for an efficient management of video-conference components in Internet environment, and will introduce our system. As the experimental results with CUSeeMe and Netmeeting which are well-known H.323 terminal, it is known that our gatekeeper should be satisfied with H.323 standardization.

This paper proposes a new architecture for DCT-based motion estimation and compensation. Previous methods do riot take sufficient advantage of the sparseness of 2-D DCT coefficients to reduce execution time. We first derive a recursion equation to perform DCT domain motion estimation more efficiently; we then use it to develop a wavefront array processor (WAP) consisting of processing elements. In addition, we show that the recursion equation enables motion predicted images with different frequency bands, for example, from the images with low frequency components to the images with low and high frequency components. The wavefront way Processor can reconfigure to different motion estimation algorithms, such as logarithmic search and three step search, without architectural modifications. These properties can be effectively used to reduce the energy required for video encoding and decoding. The proposed WAP architecture achieves a significant reduction in computational complexity and processing time. It is also shown that the motion estimation algorithm in the transform domain using SAD (Sum of Absolute Differences) matching criterion maximizes PSNR and the compression ratio for the practical video coding applications when compared to tile motion estimation algorithm in the spatial domain using either SAD or SSD.
