The purpose of this study was to determine whether foodservice brand language localization affects consumer attitudes in terms of similar brand image recognition with an original brand. Many global foodservice companies have tried to modify their own brand identity according to local situations in order to attract more consumers. According to this study's results, consumers who similarly recognized both the original brand image and localization brand image tended to have greater purchase intention than those who did not recognize them similarly. In addition, when the original brand identity was changed to the local language, consumers more similarly conceived the original brand image and localization. And for local store marketing, foodservice companies should have a thorough marketing research plan since there can be difference results according to brand name recognition gaps or demographic characteristics. Original brand image similarity recognition by consumers affected their attitudes. In other words, the group that similarly recognized both the original brand company image and the localization brand company image tended to have greater purchase intention. Because brand language plays an important role in consumer attitudes with respect to recognizing a brand and distinguishing another brand, this study suggests that franchise foodservice companies have a local store marketing plan.

MPEG-7 Visual Standard specifies a set of descriptors that can be used to measure similarity in images or video. Among them, the Edge Histogram Descriptor describes edge distribution with a histogram based on local edge distribution in an image. Since the Edge Histogram Descriptor recommended for the MPEG-7 standard represents only local edge distribution in the image, the matching performance for image retrieval may not be satisfactory. This paper proposes the use of global and semi-local edge histograms generated directly from the local histogram bins to increase the matching performance. Then, the global, semi-global, and local histograms of images are combined to measure the image similarity and are compared with the MPEG-7 descriptor of the local-only histogram. Since we exploit the absolute location of the edge in the image as well as its global composition, the proposed matching method can retrieve semantically similar images. Experiments on MPEG-7 test images show that the proposed method yields better retrieval performance by an amount of 0.04 in ANMRR, which shows a significant difference in visual inspection.

In this paper, I proposed an effective technique for accurately predicting pixel values using edge components. Adjacent pixel values are similar to each other. That is, generally, similarity exists between adjacent pixels in an image. In the proposed algorithm, edge components are detected using the surrounding pixels in the first step, and pixel values are estimated using the edge components in the second step. Therefore, the prediction accuracy of the pixel value is improved and the prediction error is reduced. Pixel value prediction is a necessary technique for various applications such as image magnification and confidential data concealment. Experimental results show that the proposed method has higher prediction accuracy and fewer prediction error. Therefore, the proposed technique can be effectively used for applications such as image magnification and confidential data concealment.

In this paper, we propose an efficient image segmentation technique for large-sized monochrome images using a hybrid approach which combines threshold and region-based techniques. First, an image is partitioned into fixed-size blocks and for each block the representative intensity is determined by averaging pixel intensities within the block. Next, the neighborhood blocks that have similar characteristics with respect to a specific threshold are merged in order to form candidate regions. Finally, those candidate regions are refined to get final target object regions by merging regions considering the spatial locality and certain criteria. We have performed experiments on images selected from various domains and showed that our technique was able to extract target object regions appropriately from most images.

본 논문에서는 영상 데이터를 효율적으로 압축하고 전송하기 위해 IFS (반복함수시스템) 개념을 적용하였다. 영상 데이터 압축에 IFS를 적용하기 위해 자기유사도를 사용하여 동일한 영상에서 코딩하고자 하는 블록과 유사한 부분을 찾게 된다. 실제 영상에 대한 반복함수시스템 코딩의 정확도 향상을 위해서 영상의 각 세부 블록에 대해 에러를 최소화 하는 변환 블록을 적용하여 성능을 높였다. 제안한 IFS를 사용한 실험결과에서 높은 화질성능을 보였고 반복함수 계수만을 압축된 영상데이터로 사용함으로써 압축효율을 향상시킬 수 있다.

Usually to achieve precise geolocation of satellite images, we need to get GCPs (Ground control points) from individual scenes. This requirement greatly increases the cost and processing time for satellite mapping. In this article, we focus on finding appropriate sensor models for entire image strips composing of several adjacent scenes. We tested the feasibility of modelling whole satellite image strips by establishing sensor models of one scene with GCPs and by applying the models to neighboring scenes without GCPs. For this, we developed two types of sensor models: collinearity-based type and orbit-based type and tested them using different sets of unknowns. Results indicated that although the performance of two types was very similar, for modelling individual scenes, it was not for modelling the whole strips. Moreover, the performance of sensor models was remarkably sensitive to different sets of unknowns. It was found that the orbit-based model using attitude biases as unknowns can be used to model SPOT image strips of 420 Km in length.

In applying LCD to TV application, one of the most significant factors to be improved is image sticking on the moving picture. LCD is different from CRT in the sense that it's continuous passive device, which holds images in entire frame period, while impulse type device generate image in very short time. To reduce image sticking problem related to hold type display mode, we made an experiment to drive LCD like CRT. We made articulate images by turn on-off backlight, and we realized the ratio of Back Light on-off time by adjusting between on time and off time for video signal input during 1 frame (16.7ms). Conventional CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) cannot follow fast on-off speed, so we evaluated new fluorescent substances of light source to improve residual light characteristic of CCFL. We realized articulate image generation similar to CRT by blinking drive. As a result, reduced image sticking phenomenon was validated by naked eye and response time measurement.

This paper describes a process of developing commercial real time image recognition system with company. In this paper we will make a system that is combining an empirical kernel map method and conjugate least squares support vector machine in order to represent images in a low-dimensional subspace for real time image recognition. In the traditional approach calculating these eigenspace models, known as traditional PCA method, model must capture all the images needed to build the internal representation. Updating of the existing eigenspace is only possible when all the images must be kept in order to update the eigenspace, requiring a lot of storage capability. Proposed method allows discarding the acquired images immediately after the update. By experimental results we can show that empirical kernel map has similar accuracy compare to traditional batch way eigenspace method and more efficient in memory requirement than traditional one. This experimental result shows that proposed model is suitable for commercial real time image recognition system.

In this paper we propose a region-adaptive CELP image coder for still images at low bit rates below 0.5 bpp. The proposed method partitions the image into stochastically similar regions by the minimum spanning tree method and finds prediction coefficients for each region using a 2- dimensional linear prediction model. Coding is carried out on 8$\times$8 blocks and when there are several regions included in a block, an image is synthesized using the prediction coefficients of each region. Computer simulation results show that the proposed method allows improved synthesized image over conventional block-adaptive CELP methods, especially at edges. In addition, performance comparison with the JPEG DCT method shows that while the JPEG method shows block distortion and staircase effects (ragged edges) at bit rates below 0.5 bpp, the proposed CELP method shows improved synthesized images with such effects reduced.
