According to the changes of current regulation of media, the broadcasting environment has been loosened by market power, and came into competitive era for broadcasting industry with new technology of combined broadcasting and communication. To resolve these issues, the broadcasting provides are trying process of new channel brand identity to introduce their channels. The purpose of the research is to analyze Spot animation that has fast access to viewers among channel brand identity factors, review expandability and usage of Spot animation character to plan, manage character that can improve awareness and loyalty. Therefore it will study creation background and production, activities of each character representing KBS and MBC, compare the structure, color, material, expression of Spot animation character and summarize properties. To conclusion, three characters of KBS and MBC failed to apply structured and professional plan and management, only expressed image that each channel pursue on Station ID Spot animation and had issues of not deeply sighting expandability and usefulness as a character. The important factor to improve channel brand value of broadcasting provider is to have differentiated identity, and the core of it is to make image-responsible Station ID to be effective. Therefore, Spot animation and character of Station ID is a very important factor so there must be professional research and structural management from the early planning and production for character that represents the providers.

This study analyzed the effect of aesthetic elements of characters on viewing immersion and re-watching intentions in Chinese historical dramas. For the empirical study, frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were performed using SPSS 23.0 based on the questionnaire of 330 Chinese who watched the historical drama . As a result of the study, it was found that the character aesthetic elements of Chinese historical dramas with hair and costumes had a positive effect on viewing immersion and re-watching intentions. In addition, it was found that viewing immersion had a mediating effect on the relationship between aesthetic factors and re-viewing intention. It is expected that continuous character creation can be expected through various aesthetic elements such as hair and clothes to increase the value of dramas in the future.

Hybrid is explained based on the logic of combination such as cross, melding, permeation, fusion, convergence etc. Such combination shows that it is more creative and effective in case of heterogeneity as compared to homogeneity and the same kind, and hybrid character has its meaning as a mean to produce a new creative image. In the context, this study aims to analyze influencing relationship through a practical analysis on how formative requirements for hybrid characters affects consumer preference. For the foregoing, this study conducted multiple regression analysis having familiarity, originality, meaningfulness, diversity as independent variables for formative requirements for characters, and consumer preference as a dependent variable. Analysis results show that familiarity, originality, diversity have a positive effect on consumers, whereas, meaningfulness has no significant impact on the consumer preference.

Character graphic design of TV screen, the major visual element, has become greatly important in its roles to help viewers understand visual information better and to enhance the qualities of the program. This research is to figure our a way of changing and improving the attributes of TV captions and graphics such as fonts, size, and caption speed appropriate to bigger and better qualified TV screen. Based on two Delphi surveys of graphics experts along with the theoretical studies, this article analyzes the relevance of visual perception to various visual elements of TV screen, and proposes a better plan in visual effects for various media under OSMU (One Source Multi Use).

This study presents a method for capturing photographs of users as input and converting them into 2D character animation sprites using a generative adversarial network-based artificial intelligence network. Traditionally, 2D character animations have been created by manually creating an entire sequence of sprite images, which incurs high development costs. To address this issue, this study proposes a technique that combines motion videos and sample 2D images. In the 2D sprite generation process that uses the proposed technique, a sequence of images is extracted from real-life images captured by the user, and these are combined with character images from within the game. Our research aims to leverage cutting-edge deep learning-based image manipulation techniques, such as the GAN-based motion transfer network (impersonator) and background noise removal (U² -Net), to generate a sequence of animation sprites from a single image. The proposed technique enables the creation of diverse animations and motions just one image. By utilizing these advancements, we focus on enhancing productivity in the game and animation industry through improved efficiency and streamlined production processes. By employing state-of-the-art techniques, our research enables the generation of 2D sprite images with various motions, offering significant potential for boosting productivity and creativity in the industry.

본 논문에서는 입체영상을 분석하여 3차원의 영상 내에 나타나는 문자 영역을 효과적으로 분리하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 먼저 입력된 영상에서 질감 특징을 이용해 문자영역이 존재하는 후보 영역을 분할하고, 후보 문자영역 중에서 문자열만을 형성하는 영역을 추출한다. 그런 다음, 지역화된 문자영역을 문자와 배경으로 분리하며, 거리 특징을 활용하여 추출된 문자영역이 비 문자영역을 포함하지 않고 문자영역만을 포함하고 있는지를 최종적으로 검증한다. 실험에서는 제안된 방법을 여러 가지 영상에 적용하여 테스트 해 보았으며, 제안된 방법이 기존의 방법에 비해 보다 정확하게 문자영역을 추출함을 확인하였다.

Based on the design of the LIS of GuangZhou and BeiJing, this paper discusses the resolution of the LIS with the kernel of process management. It applies the idea of workflow in the management supporting stratum, applies the process-oriented mechanism in the definition, coordination, supervision and control of the management process. The scheme has the character of information-media-oriented, work process dynamic changing supported, application system extended and restructure supported and is independent of the running environment of specific work.. Due to the previous character, the LIS is flexible, useable, elastic and able to support the dynamic application.

The purpose of this study is The results was that consumers who like to the top brand's commodities, had commonly high tendency to and fro its trademark and store allegiance. Furthermore, they have usually bought something following on their inclination what they had purchased as well as the store decoration character and the marketing promotion attribute. The other consumers who prefer to the discount store's merchandises, had also high propensity and the biggest influence on buying something which were those factors; their instance shopping habit, utility-economy trait, follow the fashion character and strong circumspection tendency besides using the mass media Info., personal data and commodities' attribute.

LINE, an instant message App with a powerful capability of transmitting various forms of data, has been overwhelmed in Asia since launched in 2011. Due to its popularity, LINE was first used in the 2016 Taiwanese presidential election. This research utilized a functional approach of campaign communication discourse and political visual images to analyze how candidates managed and presented themselves by textual and visual information on LINE. Regarding the textual information, results revealed their strategy inclined to reverse gender stereotype because the female candidate emphasized policy over character, while the male emphasized character over policy. Both candidates did not fully employ ten image functions because they utilized mostly the emotional and image building functions. The female candidate message achieved the largest total amount of 'like' and 'share'. This study probes into the App campaigning and improve the feasibility and practicability to share knowledge of political communication by new media.

We introduce an instant and intuitive shadowing technique for CACAni System. In traditional 2D Anime, since all frames are drawn by hand it takes long time to create an entire animation sequence. CACAni System reduces such a production cost by automatic inbetweening and coloring. In this paper, we develop a shadowing technique that enables CACAni users to easily create shadow for character or object in the image. The only inputs required are sequences of character or object layers drawn in CACAni System with alpha value. Shadows are automatically rendered on a virtual plane based on these inputs. They can then be edited by CACAni users. Achieving this, CACAni System is able to handle instant shadowing and intuitive editing in a short time.
