본 논문에서는 영상의 텍스쳐 정보를 이용하여 일반 영상에 대한 내용기반 영상 검색을 수행할 수 있는 알고리듬을 제안한다. Gabor 웨이브렛 변환을 이용하여 Gabor 필터 뱅크 내의 각 필터에 의해 필터링된 대역의 평균과 표준편차를 영상의 특징 벡터(Gabor Texture Feature)로 추출하여 영상들간의 유사성을 계산하는데 사용한다. 논문의 목적이 영상에 가해진 외적 변형, 즉 잡음 첨가, 블러링, 샤프닝 등과 같은 변형에 강인하게 동작할 수 있는 텍스쳐 특징 기반 영상 검색 기법을 제안하는 것이므로, 기존의 Gabor 필터만을 사용하여 텍스쳐 특징을 추출하여 검색의 기준으로 삼을 경우에 발생할 수 있는 주파수 성분의 변화에 대한 민감성을 Daubechies의 웨이브렛 필터를 사용하여 낮은 해상도에서 영상을 해석함으로써, 외적 변형에 대하여도 강인하게 동작할 수 있는 알고리듬을 제시하였다. 기존의 텍스쳐를 이용한 검색이 주로 텍스쳐 영역(textured region)에 대한 해석만을 하였지만, 본 논문에서는 이를 일반 영상에 적용하였으며, 일반 영상에 대해서도 효율적인 검색을 수행할 수 있음을 보였다.

Sangju, a city in the North Gyeongsang Province, is well known as "Three Whites", representing its three main agricultural products: rice, silkworm, and dried persimmons. Therefore, development of a variety of dishes or products that can promote the consumption of dried persimmons is an urgent requirement for this region. This study was designed to provide fundamental information for revitalizing community-based specialized agriculture through scientific inquiry into medicinal foods and to develop a medicinal food menu based on the results of previous research and pre-survey. The pre-survey results and incompatibility revealed that palatability influenced people's decision to consume dried persimmons far more than pharmacological functionality. Therefore, palatability played an important part in the development of dried persimmon puddings with acceptable texture. These dishes are in high demand as they suit the tastes of variety of consumers. The inclusion of various additives lowered the sugar content in the developed foods and made the products alkalescent (pH > 7), thereby improving functionality. Unique color and flavor additives were also important criteria that determined the selection attributes of the developed medicinal foods. In addition, the additives had a positive effect on the fragrance and texture of the foods. In conclusion, the results suggested that use of additives provides significant advantages in promoting the consumption of Sangju-dried persimmons by improving both functionality and palatability.

Face recognition has recently become one of the most popular research areas in the fields of computer vision, machine learning, and pattern recognition because it spans numerous applications, such as access control, surveillance, security, credit-card verification, and criminal identification. In this paper, we propose a simple descriptor called an ECSP(Extended Center-Symmetric Pattern) for illumination-robust face recognition. The ECSP operator encodes the texture information of a local face region by emphasizing diagonal components of a previous CS-LBP(Center-Symmetric Local Binary Pattern). Here, the diagonal components are emphasized because facial textures along the diagonal direction contain much more information than those of other directions. The facial texture information of the ECSP operator is then used as the input image of an image covariance-based feature extraction algorithm such as 2D-PCA(Two-Dimensional Principal Component Analysis). Performance evaluation of the proposed approach was carried out using various binary pattern operators and recognition algorithms on the Yale B database. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed approach achieved better recognition accuracy than other approaches, and we confirmed that the proposed approach is effective against illumination variation.

In this study, the characteristics of soybeans with different cultivation methods depending on their origins and the properties of tofu made from these soybeans were studied. The isoflavone content was higher in the general Korean soybeans compared to the organic American soybeans. There were no significant differences among the Chinese soybean samples, so the cultivar method was considered to have a greater effect on the isoflavone contents rather than the cultivation method. The protein contents were higher in the tofu made from the general Chinese soybeans and the organic Korean soybeans. Furthermore, the tofu made from the organic Chinese soybeans contained the least amount of proteins. Isoflavone contents were not significantly different among the samples. Texture profile analyses consisting of hardness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, springiness, and gumminess were all shown to be higher in the organic tofu than in general tofu, with the exception of adhesiveness. In sensory evaluation, color and texture were significantly different according to the samples, and the differences were found to be affected more by the origin of soybeans rather than the cultivation methods. According to this study, the physicochemical properties of the soybeans and tofu seemed to be influenced by the cultivation region rather than the methods.

The texture change of non-linear optical molecules at the air/water interface was investigated as a function of surface pressure with Brewster angle microscopy. The texture change resulted from the aggregation of dye molecules is important to understand the film uniformity and grain formation process. The 4-Octadecylhydroxy-4'-nitrostilbene (OHNS) generated the small spots of size around 1$\mu$m. The spots exhibit high contrast with other film area and do not show angle dependent reflectivity change. It is interesting to observe that the size of the domain stays the same as the film pressure increases. At high surface pressure, the contrast ratio of domains becomes high, which means dense packing of OHNS. And, the size of domain grows. In the middle of domain, highly contrasted domains are formed. The first and the second order transitions of OHNS observed from surface pressure-area isotherm result from the two types of grains. The N,N-Dihexadecylcyanoaniline (DHCA) formed highly contrasted gains over entire region, and the grains are the double layers. The difference in Langmuir film of OHNS and DHCA at the air/water interface is consistent with the small tilt angle from the surface normal for OHNS and the large tilt angle for DHCA in the Langmuir-Blodgett films.

The shearing and punching processes are analyzed with the finite element method using an isotropic material model. The experimental result in the punching process shows that final radiuses of sheet metal according to the rolling direction and transverse direction are different because of the material anisotropy. The material anisotropy is induced by complicated large deformation in the polycrystalline aggregate. The contact region between the punch and sheet metal experiences severe deformation such as shear, compression and tension in the punching process. In this paper, the analysis of punching process for Al 1100 is performed with the ABAQUS Standard. The analysis of texture development and evolution is carried out based on the deformation history in the punching process. The deformation histories are extracted by UMAT in the ABAQUS Standard. The torture development is investigated with the pole figure and yield surface during the punching process.

The effect of Ca addition on the microstructure evolution and deformation behavior of AZ31 magnesium alloy produced by hot extrusion was investigated. For this purpose, Ca was added into AZ31 melts to the level of 0.7 and 2.0 wt.% Ca. Then, AZ31 base alloy and Ca modified AZ31 alloys were extruded at $383^{\circ}C$. Ca added alloys showed finer grain size and increased hardness value rather than AZ31 base alloy. After isothermal hot compression, the shape of tested specimen exhibited a noticeable anisotropy due to the crystallographic texture effect. The ratio of major and minor axes of ovality was not directly related to test condition and Ca amount. Flow stress level increases with the increase of Ca addition at temperature below $300^{\circ}C$ because of fine microstructure. However, at high temperature and low strain rate region ($400^{\circ}C$ and $10^{-3}s^{-1}$), reverse tendency was observed since main deformation mechanism changes from dislocation slip to grain boundary sliding or diffusional process at high temperature.

We present an image retrieval method for improving retrieval performance by effective fusion of entropy features in wavelet region and wavelet moments. In this method, entropy features are sensitive to the local variation of gray level and well extract valley and edges. These features are effectively applied to contend-based image retrieval by well fusing to wavelet moments that represent texture property in multi-resolution. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. We use Corel Draw Photo DB. Experiment results show that the proposed yields 11% better performance for Corel Draw Photo DB over wavelet moments method.

In this paper we propose a content-based image retrieval method that can search large image databases efficiently by color, texture, and shape content. Quantized RGB histograms and the dominant triple (hue, saturation, and value), which are extracted from quantized HSV joint histogram in the local image region, are used for representing global/local color information in the image. Entropy and maximum entry from co-occurrence matrices are used for texture information and edge angle histogram is used for representing shape information. Relevance feedback approach, which has coupled proposed features, is used for obtaining better retrieval accuracy. Simulation results illustrate the above method provides 77.5 percent precision rate without relevance feedback and increased precision rate using relevance feedback for overall queries. We also present a new indexing method that supports fast retrieval in large image databases. Tree structures constructed by k-means algorithm, along with the idea of triangle inequality, eliminate candidate images for similarity calculation between query image and each database image. We find that the proposed method reduces calculation up to average 92.9 percent of the images from direct comparison.

The main purpose of this research is to survey mushroom uses by housewives in Taegu metropolitan region to provide basic knowledge for the development of mushroom cooking methods. We have done statistical analyses of 472 questionnaires on mushroom uses. We found the following results: many respondents regarded mushrooms as one of natural, or health foods. The most well-known mushrooms turned out to be Pleurotus ostreatus, Dried Lentinus edodes, Ganoderma lucidum, Agaricus bisporus and Tricholoma matsutake in the order. The higher in income and year of education, the more species of mushroom are known to respondents. Anticancer effect of mushrooms are known very well and 56.4% of respondents eat Pleurotus edodes often. Preference between mushrooms and their characteristics have been turned out to be significantly different. Preferred characteristics are taste, texture and aroma: respondents preferred texture of Pleurotus ostreatus, and taste and aroma of Tricholoma matsutake. Main purchasing place for mushrooms turned out to be market. Majorproblems of mushroom uses are price, development of cooking methods, storage and preservation of mushrooms.
