Offloading is a method of communicating, processing, and receiving results from some of the applications performed on local computers to overcome the limitations of computing resources and computational speed.Recently, it has been applied in mobile games, multimedia data, 360-degree video processing, and image processing for Internet broadcasting to speed up processing and reduce battery consumption in the mobile computing sector. This paper implements a viewer that enables users to convert various flat-panel images and view contents in a wireless Internet environment and presents actual results of an experiment so that users can easily understand the images. The 360 degree spherical image is successfully converted to a plane image with Double Panorama, Quad, Single Rectangle, 360 Overview + 3 Rectangle depending on the image acquisition position of the 360 degree camera through the interface. During the experiment, more than 100 360 degree spherical images were successfully converted into plane images through the interface below.

For Autonomous navigation of the mobile robots, the robots' capability to recognize 3D environment is necessary. In this paper, an on-line 3D map building method for autonomous mobile robots is proposed. To get range data on the environment, we use an sensor system which is composed of a structured light and a CCD camera based on optimal triangulation. The structured laser is projected as a horizontal strip on the scene. The sensor system can rotate $\pm$ $30{\Circ}$ with a goniometer. Scanning the system, we get the laser strip image for the environments and update planes composing the environment by some image processing steps. From the laser strip on the captured image, we find a center point of each column, and make line segments through blobbing these center poings. Then, the planes of the environments are updated. These steps are done on-line in scanning phase. With the proposed method, we can efficiently get a 3D map about the structured environment.

In this paper, an improved AE system for digital still camera is proposed. AE system is auto exposure system to maintain optimized brightness of output image. But there is limitation for mobile devices to get high quality image with the conventional AE algorithm, because of organizational restriction of system. The conventional research has been studied only electronic shutter and AGC on the AE algorithm. In this paper, we suggest new AE algorithm included target setting, frame delay, Gamma Correction as well as electronic shutter and AGC to get high quality image. The proposed algorithm show improved result at control speed and ability of luminance expression.

This paper tries to converge computer and art by applying anamorphosis principle in drawing technique to mobile application. As comparing to current anamorphosis which shows one image at the round cup, we focus on the variability which shows several variable images at the mobile device according to the color board. The usage of the proposed algorithm is able to extended to various areas such as souvenir and public relation.

This study describes the humanistic perspective inherent in Korean Buddhism. It is based on a narrative of the establishment of Haeinsa Temple, which is one of the three major Korean traditional temples, and represents the heritage of Korean Buddhism. With this narrative, we developed and implemented mobile content for Android devices titled "Treasures from the Palace of the Dragon King". Its scenario, which is a folktale of the establishment of the Haeinsa Temple, was created using A.J. Greimas' Actantial model as the research method. As a result, the content developed by the reconstruction of the scenario consists of mini-games and animations offering an intuitive user experience (UX), which is implemented in a compound E-BOOK for mobile devices. We aim to promote Korea's traditional culture throughout the world, using this content as a starting point for the future.

In this paper, we propose the improvement method of the camera images regardless of exposure environments. By using a double-exposure method, we could improve camera images with clear recognition. We applied the improvement method on the mobile phone. For the feasibility of the proposed algorithm, we compared simulated camera images with the proposed method to conventional images by using auto-exposure image. Experimental results are also shown in this paper.

This paper describes an algorithm for determining robot location using appearance-based paradigm. This algorithm compress the image set using PCA(principal component analysis) to obtain a low-dimensional subspace, called the eigenspace, and it makes a manifold that represent a continuous-appearance function. To determine robot location, given an unknown input image, the recognition system first projects the image to eigenspace. Neural network use coefficients of the eigenspace to estimate the location of the mobile robot. The algorithm has been implemented and tested on a mobile robot system. In several trials it computes location accurately.

Mobile phone GPS positioning system is a function we often use, which can make user locate his own position all time. But due to lots of inconvenience brought to us by some error existing in mobile phone positioning system, how to accurately position becomes a hot research topic at home and abroad. This paper puts forward a way of precise calculating position. Firstly, take object's image with mobile phone camera; then, process the image to extract and identify object inside; finally, calculate the distance between the object and user with the object's information stored in the database.

As the security requirements of mobile phones have been increasing, there have been extensive researches using one biometric feature (e.g., an iris, a fingerprint, or a face image) for authentication. Due to the limitation of uni-modal biometrics, we propose a method that combines face and iris images in order to improve accuracy in mobile environments. This paper presents four advantages and contributions over previous research. First, in order to capture both face and iris image at fast speed and simultaneously, we use a built-in conventional mega pixel camera in mobile phone, which is revised to capture the NIR (Near-InfraRed) face and iris image. Second, in order to increase the authentication accuracy of face and iris, we propose a score level fusion method based on SVM (Support Vector Machine). Third, to reduce the classification complexities of SVM and intra-variation of face and iris data, we normalize the input face and iris data, respectively. For face, a NIR illuminator and NIR passing filter on camera are used to reduce the illumination variance caused by environmental visible lighting and the consequent saturated region in face by the NIR illuminator is normalized by low processing logarithmic algorithm considering mobile phone. For iris, image transform into polar coordinate and iris code shifting are used for obtaining robust identification accuracy irrespective of image capturing condition. Fourth, to increase the processing speed on mobile phone, we use integer based face and iris authentication algorithms. Experimental results were tested with face and iris images by mega-pixel camera of mobile phone. It showed that the authentication accuracy using SVM was better than those of uni-modal (face or iris), SUM, MAX, NIN and weighted SUM rules.
