본 논문은 기존의 질감기반 (texture) 얼굴검출 시스템에서 컬러 영상을 도입하여 성능개선의 중요한 부분인 얼굴 오검출율을 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 얼굴 영상의 컬러 성분은 흑백 성분과 비교하여 낮은 공간 주파수 영역을 가지는 특징이 있다. 질감기반 얼굴검출에서 높은 대비 (contrast) 성분의 에지는 얼굴이 아닌 영역에서 얼굴로 오인할 수가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 오인을 감소하기 위해 독립적인 컬러 채널 성분들을 질감기반 얼굴 검출에 각각 이용하여 그 얻어진 결과들을 융합 (fusion) 하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험결과로 제안한 칼라 채널 융합 방법을 통해 얻은 얼굴 검출율은 기존 흑백 영상과 비슷하게 유지되며 오검출율을 현저히 줄이는 것을 보였다.

The Homme Fatale image, which has recently been brought to the fore by mass media in Korea, leads the public fashion with a strong influence on the preference of females who actively participate in men's fashion, and on the "mansumers"(man+consumer) who would use fashion styles as a medium for self-expression. In this study, the concept and fashion style of the homme fatale image expressed in the Korean mass media are exhaustively explored, and then its expressive characteristics are analyzed to determine the trends of men's fashion in Korea. According to the result of this analysis, the homme fatale image represented in the Korean mass media, shows us with its complex nature that it includes the following characteristics: strong and vigorous masculinity, sensuality which emphasizes physical attractiveness, duplicity of gentle sensibility and coldheartedness, and the mysteriousness of maturity and innocence. In conclusion, the homme fatale image can be thought to present fashion styles which emphasize masculinity and physical attractiveness in a variety of ways.

3D 콘텐츠에 대한 관심이 증가함에 따라 3D 시청 및 제작에 대한 가이드라인의 필요성도 함께 증가하고 있다. 3D 안정 시청 가이드 라인은 3D 시청으로 인한 시청자의 시각적 불쾌감이나 피로감을 방지하는데 목적을 두고 있으며, 최근 일본의 3DC에서는 과도한 수렴-조절 불일치를 방지하기 위해 양안 시차 $1^{\circ}$를 쾌적 시차 범위로 권고하고 있다. 하지만 이 쾌적 시차는 절대적인 수치가 아니며, 콘텐츠의 특성 및 시청 조건에 따라 변하는 것으로 추정된다. 본 논문에서는 쾌적 시차를 갖는 3D 영상 콘텐츠에서 객체의 모션으로 인해 양안시차가 시공간적으로 변할 때, 야기되는 시각적 불편함의 변화에 대하여 관찰한다. 특히, 깊이 방향 모션 및 수평 방향 모션에서 객체의 속도 변화에 대한 시각적 피로감의 정도를 주관적 평가를 통하여 측정한다.

In this paper, we propose a method to determine whether there is a defect by using the similarity between ROIs (Region of Interest) of the standard image and ROIs of the image which is corrected in position and rotation after capturing the vehicle headlight. The degree of similarity is determined by the template matching based on the histogram of image, which is a some modification of the method provided by OpenCV where template matching is performed on the raw image not the histogram. The proposed method is compared with the basic method of OpenCV for performance analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the proposed method showed better performance than the OpenCV method, showing the accuracy close to 100%.

In this paper, a new adaptive image processing method based on human visual system has been presented. The basic idea behind the proposed method is to improve the efficiency of the information transfer channel regionally by manipulating the displayed image in order to compensate the regional inefficiency of the information transfer channel. The proposed method consists of two parts; the first part reallocates pixel values corresponding to high X-ray attenuation to that of more intense X-ray exposure by multiplying the pixel values with the local adaptive multiplcation factor, and the second part adjusts the pixel values of dark area of displayed image such as overexposed lung area to be more bright. The processed image with the proposed method shows significantly increased visibility of mediastinal and subdiaphramatic area, and also the lung area of over exposed case without any artifact.

하천에서 물이 비교적 빠른 속도로 흘러가면 압력 변동, 하상의 조도, 하천내 구조물 등의 영향에 의해 수면이 끊임없이 변형을 일으키며 수면에 작은 물결(수면 파문)이 생긴다. 이러한 수면 파문은 유수에 의해 유수의 평균 유속으로 이류되며, 이 때문에 인간이 유수의 흐름을 시각적으로 인식할 수 있다. 이러한 표면 파문은 적절한 영상 분석을 하면 표면 유속 측정의 추적자로 이용할 수 있다. 본 연구는 유수 표면을 연속된 영상을 촬영하고, 일련의 영상을 시공간 영상(space-time image)으로 만든 뒤, 휘도 경사법(graylevel gradient method)으로 유속 벡터를 추출하는 새로운 방법을 제시하였다. 이 분석 과정은 기존의 입자 영상 유속계(PIV, Particle Image Velocimetry) 기법을 이용하는 방법보다 훨씬 간단하고 분석 시간도 크게 절약할 수 있다. 또한, 수면 파문의 전파에 따른 중력파의 영향을 시공간 영상의 처리 과정에서 잡음으로 간주하여 처리할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 개발된 루틴을 표면 영상 유속계(SIV, Surface Image Velocimtery)에 구현하여 새로운 영상 유속계를 개발하였다. 시공간 영상 분속을 이용하는 새로운 영상 유속계를 실험실 수로의 영상 자료에 적용하여 그 정확도, 적용성, 장단점 등을 분석하였다. 제안된 방법에 의한 평균류 산정 결과는 물리적으로 타당하며, 저속 또는 저휘도에서의 분석 성능이 뛰어난 것으로 밝혀졌다. 다만, 이방향 흐름의 분석에서는 문제가 있는 것이 밝혀졌다.

In the perspective of the correspondence of heaven and man[天人相應], people live through Gi of heaven and earth[天地之氣], and the human body which is a small universe[小宇宙] itself receives influence while sympathizing with the Gi and heaven[天氣]. So with unexpected incident of the Eum and Yang, four season[陰陽四時], ups and downs of warmth of cold and chilliness of warm[寒熱溫涼] differs, and the position of Gi of human[人氣] changes, regimen and application of acupuncture, and images[象] of the pulse changes. In "Maekyojeongmiron(脈要精微論)", ups and downs of Eum and Yang changes by four season[四時], and correspondence of ups and downs of pulse law is explained with compass, carpenter's square, the beam of balance and the weight of balance[規矩權衡]. Compass[規] is a measure of instrument that can draw a circle, like regulating the measure and differing the center of the circle and diameter and drawing a circle, compass is a image of Gi of Yang[陽氣] that was staying deep inside the body in winter stretching out by big fault[太過不及] of year and energy[元氣] of human in spring. Carpenter's square[矩] is a instrument that draws direction, which is a image of Gi of Yang flourishing in summer and when it gets highly flourished, again the Gi of Eum[陰氣] comes alive and falls. The beam of balance[衡] is a scale, like a scale that tilts at once when one side is slightly heavy, the beam of balance is a image Gi of yang that is fully flourished in summer and about to descent again, which is just about to fall but not going down yet. The weight of balance [權] is a image of gi of yang which as descent to the bottom and staying in the deepest place. compass, carpenter's square, the beam of balance and the weight of balance is not a direct pulse image[脈象], but standard image of pulse of pulse corresponding to the Gi of human[人氣] that changes by four season, and the explanation includes the pulse image of four season like the taut, full, floating, deeply gather[弦鉤浮營] of "Okgijinjangron(玉機眞藏論)" or taut, full, skip, float, deep [弦鉤代毛石] of "Pyeong-ingisangron(平人氣象論)". So with compass, carpenter's square, the beam of balance and the weight of balance, can judge is human correspond in Eum and Yang, four seasons, this is importantly used in examination of pulse[診脈] with existence and nonexistence, and prognosis of illness.

Computer vision technology has been utilized as one of the most powerful tools to automate various agricultural operations. Though it has demonstrated successful results in various applications, the current status of technology is still for behind the human's capability typically for the unstructured and variable task environment. In this paper, a man-machine interactive hybrid decision-making system which utilized a concept of tole-operation was proposed to overcome limitations of computer image processing and cognitive capability. Tasks of greenhouse watermelon cultivation such as pruning, watering, pesticide application, and harvest require identification of target object. Identifying water-melons including position data from the field image is very difficult because of the ambiguity among stems, leaves, shades. and fruits, especially when watermelon is covered partly by leaves or stems. Watermelon identification from the cultivation field image transmitted by wireless was selected to realize the proposed concept. The system was designed such that operator(farmer), computer, and machinery share their roles utilizing their maximum merits to accomplish given tasks successfully. And the developed system was composed of the image monitoring and task control module, wireless remote image acquisition and data transmission module, and man-machine interface module. Once task was selected from the task control and monitoring module, the analog signal of the color image of the field was captured and transmitted to the host computer using R.F. module by wireless. Operator communicated with computer through touch screen interface. And then a sequence of algorithms to identify the location and size of the watermelon was performed based on the local image processing. And the system showed practical and feasible way of automation for the volatile bio-production process.

Model-based color image halftoning method using dot-pattern database is proposed for low-resolution color image printing. Dot-pattern database used in the proposed method is based on Blue-Noise Mask. The database consists of dot-patterns constructed by circular dot-overlap model according to each color value. In halftoning procedure, input color value is reproduced as the dot-pattern selected to minimize the difference between the color values of the original image and those of the printed image. Also, the contrast sensitivity function as a human visual model is used to improve the perceived quality of the printed image in dot-pattern selection. Thus, the proposed method can substantially reproduce the color values of the pixels in original image and obtain better image quality. In the experiment, the proposed method has less ΔΕ/Sub ab/ between the original image in monitor and the printed one than that of ED and BNM halftoning. This result approves that the proposed method reproduces better image quality.
