Conventional MSE or PSNR based methods for objective picture quality assessment of moving picture coder are not well correlated with subjective human evaluation. In recent years, the design of better objective quality assessment has attracted much intention and several picture quality metrics based on the properties of Human Visual System has been proposed. This paper proposes new metric which is appropriate for objective picture quality assessment of block based moving picture coder by considering frequency sensitivity, inter-intra channel masking and several distortion artifacts caused by block based coding. The experimental results show that the proposed method is good correlated with subjective assessment.

This paper proposes a hybrid image coding in order to improve the coding performance by combining the BTC with the DPCM. And utilizing the human perceptual characteristics, a new objective image quality evaluation method has been proposed to obtain an excellent result in good agreement with the subjective quality evaluation. A hyb-1 method consisting of the DPCM and the AMBTC has retained a good picture quality at the bit rate of 1.5 bits/pel. A hyb-3 method combining the EBTC-3 with the DPCM has scarcely degraded the picture quality compared with the original image at the bit rate of 2.1 bits/pel. A newly proposed mehtod of picture quality evaluation accumulating a blocky noise at the edge block and an impulsive noise at the flat block selectively has been coincident with the subjective evaluation of quality.

In a DCT coding, degradations called block artifact and mosquito noise are appeared in reconstructed pictures. They should be reduced in post processing after decoding without superabundant processing. However, an estimation of mosquito noise is rare because of its difficulty. To realize an estimation of mosquito noise level, we extract a block that mosquito noise will be easy to occur. Mosquito noise level is calculated at a selected side of the block. In this processing, only the sides of high probability block are used. Then, a block value is taken by averaging. Finally, the picture value is calculated by averaging of this. Estimation method is evaluated by using the MPEG-4 decoded pictures. Quantization scale of coding and the estimated mosquito noise level are compared. As the results, we recognize the proposed method gives almost reasonable mosquito block and absolute level. Father, adaptive filter is controlled by the estimated mosquito noise level. It is recognized that the high quality of decoded picture is kept and the mosquito noise is reduced effectively at the picture with degradation.

뉴미디어 시대의 새로운 혁신기술로 IPTV를 들 수 있다. IPTV는 텔레비전과 인터넷이 융합된 뉴미디어로 TV기능을 가지면서도 인터넷에 접속하여 정보 검색, 게임, 영화, 홈쇼핑, 홈뱅킹 등 포털 서비스를 받을 수 있는 차세대 TV이다. 이러한 혁신기술들의 채택과 사용에 서비스 품질은 중요한 영향을 미친다. IPTV는 일반 TV와 달리 기술적 제약 때문에 서비스 품질보다 체감 품질이 더욱 중요시 된다. 체감 품질은 사용자가 본원적으로 경험하고 인지하는 품질로 최종 사용자를 대상으로 시험하고 측정하는 품질이다. 본 연구는 IPTV의 체감 품질 측정 방법론을 제안하는 것이 목적이다. 탐색적 방법을 사용하여 체감 품질에 영향을 미치는 요인을 발견하고 사용자 테스트라는 실험적 방법을 사용하여 체감 품질을 측정한다. 우리는 요인분석을 통하여 9개의 체감 품질 요인(그래픽, 화질, 정확성, 접근도구, 콘텐츠의 질, 사용성, 보안성, 성능)을 발견하였다. IPTV 서비스 제공자를 대상으로 측정한 체감 품질 점 수는 화질, 그래픽, 콘텐츠의 질을 제외하고는 전반적으로 높지 않아 개선이 요구된다.

현재 수중 촬영을 통해 물속이나 바다 속을 촬영하려는 수요는 매우 빠르게 늘어나고 있다. 방송용 수중 촬영, 레저 및 스포츠용, 군사 및 작전용 등 그 적용 범위 또한 빠르게 늘어나고 있다. 그중 특별히 우리는 선박 선저에 부착된 해양 생물들을 촬영하고 검사하기 위해 수중 드론에 사용 될 최적의 카메라를 선정한다. 3대의 카메라들을 성능적으로 비교하는데 수중 촬영이라는 특별한 상황에서 객관적 기준, 주관적 기준을 사용하여 비교 및 평가한다. 본 연구는 수중 촬영이라는 특이한 상황에서 카메라의 해상도와 같은 성능적 기준이 객관적 기준과 주관적 기준에도 부합하는지를 확인한다. 그리고 훌륭한 화질 제공에는 영상을 보정하는 필터 외에도 적절한 카메라 선정이 중요하다는 점을 보여준다. 이 연구 후에도 좀 더 다양한 카메라들을 이용한 연구를 통해서 수중 촬영용 카메라 화질 비교의 적절한 기준을 제시해 줄 수 있을 것이다.

This study is to develop a new scoring system for rating Hazard analysis and critical control points prerequisite evaluation items for meat shops to provide a more objective and accurate evaluation of food safety compliance. The importance of each item was measured by looking at the hazard severity level and the rate of non-compliance associated with it. It was found that the new scoring system is more stringent and gives a clearer picture of compliance with the most critical safety standards, and therefore is expected to have a positive effect on the hygiene and safety of livestock products.

High dynamic range (HDR) technology has been drawing attention in the field of imaging and consumer entertainment. As tools for capturing and creating HDR contents, encoding, and transmission evolve to support HDR formats, various display capabilities are being developed and increased. Hence, there is need for remapping native HDR imagery for display on lower quality legacy standard dynamic range (SDR) displays. This operation is referred to as tone mapping. In this paper, we present a sectional tone mapping method by Lenzen, and expand upon a tone mapping approach to improve temporal stability while maintaining picture quality. Compared to the existing block-based sectional tone mapping, our method uses the edge awareness-based tone mapping. We estimate the performance of the objective metric on temporal flickering. The experimental result shows that the algorithm maintains a smoother relationship between the output luminance values, and this reveals success in reducing halos and improving temporal stability with adopted edge aware filtering.

Objective: This study explored benefits of a bibliotherapy program using picture books for self-growth supporting married Immigrant Women settle down as a healthy member of the Korean society. Method: This intervention program was implemented on twelve married immigrant women (and another twelve women as a control group), and their self-esteem and social competence before and after the intervention were examined. In addition, the researcher kept observation journals and conducted post-program interviews with the participants after the completion of the program to understand the changes in family relationships. Result: The results of this study are as follows: (1) the self-esteem scores of participants had increased after the intervention program, however, there was not significant differences between control and experimental groups, (2) the experiment group made more progress in improving social competence, and (3) the study confirmed through qualitative analysis that the program made positive contributions to improving the participants' quality of family relationships. Conclusion: Based on these results, implications for further research and practices were discussed.

In recent years, two major streams in medical information systems are：1) system integration among OCS(Order Communication System), EMR(Electronic Medical Record), PACS(Picture Archiving and Communication System), and ERP(Enterprise Resource Planning) and 2) system integration through medical collaboration between East and West medical service providers. One of the characteristics which differentiate the Korean medical industry from the western medical industry is the East-West medical collaboration. In many respects there are many differences between East and West medical treatment. Although East and West medical treatment have developed from different medical philosophies and standards, we assume that the better medical care can be provided by integrating their medical procedures effectively. The two possible approaches to the integration of East and West medical information systems are suggested in this paper：One is loosely coupled model and the other is tightly coupled model. EMR improves the quality of medical record which reflects the quality of clinical practice. It provides more efficient and convenient way of input, retrieval, storage, communication and management of medical data. We abstracted the standard medical procedures from the two medical procedures performed in Daejeon Oriental Hospital and Hehwa Clinic at Daejeon University and also abstracted database schema by analyzing the characteristics of information needed in East-West medical collaboration. Our EMR is composed of two types of data：one is structured data and the other is unstructured data, which are formalized by SOAP(Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) format. Currently the integrated system is implemented and operated successfully for six months.
