  • Objectives : This research aims to investigate the consumer's interest in the Korean Medicine (KM) industry by using Google-trends and Naver-Data lab. A quick and uncomplicated way for those who are already involved with KM industry but do not have expertise in utilizing Big-data searches, is introduced. Methods : 'Direct keyword' was set by FGI (Focus Group Interview) and 'Detailed keyword' was set by using relevant word search and autocomplete search functions in the search engine. By inquiring Naver-Data lab, keyword search volumes are compared by age and sex, date range, and originating region of the researcher. It is possible to determine whether the data is reliable or authentic through examining the associated query. Selected direct keywords used through FGI (Focus Group Interview) were 'Acupuncture', 'Herbal Medicine', 'Cupping', 'Musculoskeletal Disease', 'Diet', and 'Stemina'. Based on these keywords, the following results were derived from the keyword analysis. Results : From August 2016, there was a noticeable surge of interest in men's 'Cupping'. The search for 'Diet' increased in the second quarter of 2016 from all ages. The search volume of 'Stemna' for individuals in their 20s is higher than that of those in their 30s or 40s'. Researchers from the region of Chungcheongbuk-do had a higher level of interest in analgesics and less interest in Korean Medicine. There is a greater interest in the KM market from European countries and America, than from Korea, China, and other Asian countries. Discussion : Despite the limitations of the research, it is meaningful to introduce a quick and easy data search method to compare information by age, sex, and region. Conclusion : The future of research into Korea Medicine and this market is confirmed by our data results which indicate interest from Europe, the United States, and other western countries, but less interest from Korea, China and other Asian countries.

  • The paper comments on the contribution of Oscar Salemink on his personal intellectual journal from Vietnam to Europe and back again. This then leads to the contemplation of the construction of Southeast Asia as a "place" or "locality", early preoccupations within the region of the national dimension. And more recent developments in universities in Singapore, examining the continuing perceptions of Southeast Asia as a region and Singapore as its "gateway", and the increasing interest in "connectivities" and transnational relations between the region and other parts of Asia and the wider world.

  • Recently, distributed video coding (DVC) has been actively studied for low complexity video encoder. The complexity of the encoder in DVC is much simpler than that of traditional video coding schemes such as H.264/AVC, but the complexity of the decoder in DVC increases. In this paper, we propose the Region-Of-Interest (ROI) based DVC with low decoding complexity. The proposed scheme uses the ROI, the region the motion of objects is quickly moving as the input of the Wyner-Ziv (WZ) encoder instead of the whole WZ frame. In this case, the complexity of encoder and decoder is reduced, and the bite rate decreases. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme obtain 0.95 dB as the maximum PSNR gain in Hall Monitor sequence and 1.87 dB in Salesman sequence. Moreover, the complexity of encoder and decoder in the proposed scheme is significantly reduced by 73.7% and 63.3% over the traditional DVC scheme, respectively. In addition, we employ the layered belief propagation (LBP) algorithm whose decoding convergence speed is 1.73 times faster than belief propagation algorithm as the Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) decoder for low decoding complexity.

  • A new multiple description selective coding is proposed to overcome noisy channels. Our algorithm adopts an embedded coding scheme, in which subband coefficients are encoded one bit plane at a time using a non-adaptive arithmetic encoder. According to the importance ratio for each region, we code interest regions with more passes than background in order to reconstruct interest regions with higher quality. To overcome channel errors, we adopt multiple description scheme which adds controlled amounts of redundancy to the original data during the compression process. Proposed algorithm achieves better qualify compared with other algorithms especially in the circumstances where very low bit rate coding is required and some regions are more important than other regions.

  • Conventional Systems for parcel sorting consist of two sequences as loading the parcel into conveyor belt system and post-code input. Using bar code information, the parcels to be recorded and managed are recognized. This paper describes a 32 $\times$ 32 sized mini-block inspection to extract bar code Region of Interest (ROI) from the line Charged Coupled Device (CCD) camera capturing image of moving parcel at 2m/sec speed. Firstly, the Min-Max distribution of the mini-block has been applied to discard the background of parcel and region of conveying belts from the image. Secondly, the diagonal inspection has been used for the extraction of letters and bar code region. Five horizontal line scanning detects the number of edges and sizes and ROI has been acquired from the detection. The wrong detected area has been deleted by the comparison of group size from labeling processes. To correct excluded bar code region in mini-block processes and for analysis of bar code information, the extracted ROI 8 boundary points and decline distribution have been used with central axis line adjustment. The ROI extraction and central axis creation have become enable within 60~80msec, and the accuracy has been accomplished over 99.44 percentage.

  • Time series data is a sequence of data points, measured typically at successive, spaced at time intervals. Many devices for an efficient exploration is developed according as the items of time series data increase. Among these devices, there is a Timebox widget as a representative device of dynamic query for interactive data exploration. Timeboxes are rectangular query region of interest. The users can draw the region of interest using simple mouse manipulation and the query result sets is displayed. But there is a limitation to represent the concrete query region and Timeboxes visualize the query region inconsistent with the mental model of users. To resolve these problems, we propose a new device called DQB(Dynamic Query Band). DQB is a qeury region consisting of user defined polyline with a thickness on time series data. This device is possible to concretely specify the query region. Also, it provides a simple and convenient interface and a good conceptual model.

  • It is very important to achieve a high reproducibility in the ultrasonic measurement of bone mineral density. In this study, we examined number of sampling waveform, control of temperature, diameter of region of interest as factors to improve reproducibility. We decided the optimal number of waveforms to be converted to frequency domain as period of 1. We have minimized the effects of variable temperature and constrained generation of micro bubble by keeping temperature within a range of $32\pm0.5^{\circ}C$ with a precise temperature controlling algorithm. We also found the optimal diameter of region of interest to be 13mm. In this paper, we demonstrated the improved reproducibility by controlling various factors affecting the ultrasonic measurement of bone mineral density.

  • The Manchu language holds historical significance, but a complete dataset of Manchu script letters for training optical character recognition machine-learning models is currently unavailable. Therefore, this paper describes the process of creating a robust dataset of extracted Manchu script letters. Rather than performing automatic letter segmentation based on whitespace or the thickness of the central word stem, an image of the Manchu script was manually inspected, and one copy of the desired letter was selected as a region of interest. This selected region of interest was used as a template to match all other occurrences of the same letter within the Manchu script image. Although the dataset in this study contained only 4,000 images of five Manchu script letters, these letters were collected from twenty-eight writing styles. A full dataset of Manchu letters is expected to be obtained through this process. The collected dataset was normalized and trained using a simple convolutional neural network to verify its effectiveness.

  • We present fast stereo matching algorithm using edge projection. Traditional stereo matching algorithm uses 2D template for the search of corresponding point thus it requires huge the computational cost. In this paper, we reduce the 2D search problem into 1D using edge projection along vertical and horizontal direction inside the region of interest. Also, by accumulation of edge projection along vertical and horizontal direction, the edge projection within the region of interest could simply be obtained by just subtracting two values. Experimental results show that matching algorithm using edge projection also gives comparable discriminating power compared to that of using intensity.
