In this paper, we propose an image signal processor (ISP) for an ultra small HD-grade video sensor with 3A (AWB, AE, and AF) in camera phones that can process 720P/30fps videos. In order to enhance the video quality of the systems, it is necessary to achieve the high performance of the 3A. The proposed AWB algorithm multiplies the adjusted coefficients of color gains to the captured data of white objects. The proposed AE method adopts the index step moving based on the difference between an averaged Y luminance and a target luminance, together with IIR filters with variable time responses. The proposed AF technique controls the focus curve to find the lens position that maximizes the integrated high frequency components in luminance values by using highpass filters. Finally, we compare the image quality captured from our system to the quality of a commercial HD camcorder in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed ISP. The proposed ISP system is also fabricated with 0.18um CMOS flash memory process.

Recently, a few image-processing based mobile urine testers have actively been studied since the urine-analysis result can be available to the user in real time immediately after the test is done. However, the accuracy of test result can be severely degraded due to variable illumination environments and a variety of manners to capture the image with a camera embedded in the smartphone according to different users. This paper proposes the Check4Urine system, a novel smartphone-based portable urine-analysis tester and provides three techniques to improve such a performance degradation problem robust to various test environments and disturbances, which are the compensation algorithm to correct the varying illumination effect, an urine strip detection algorithm robust to edge loss of the object image, and the color decision algorithm based on the pre-processed reference table. Experimental results show that the proposed Check4Urine system increases the accuracy of urine-analysis by 20-50% at various test conditions, compared with the existing image-processing based mobile urine tester.

저 사양 HMD(Head Mounted Display)를 사용하는 가상 환경 네비게이션 시스템은 true-color 이미지를 제한 된 색으로 표현 할 때 이미지를 양자화 해야 한다. 그러한 시스템은 고정된 팔래트를 이용하여 이미지를 양자화 한다. 인간의 눈은 시선부분의 색변화에 민감하기 때문에 시선부분의 색을 고려하여 동적으로 팔래트를 생성하고 이를 이용하여 이미지를 양자화 한다면 사용자는 가상 환경을 보다 생동감 있게 느낄 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자가 가상환경을 보다 생동감 있게 느끼게 하기 위한 컬러 양자화 방법을 제안하고 제안 방법을 이용하여 가상환경 네비게이션 시스템을 구성하였다. 네비게이션 시스템은 사용자의 시선이 변할 때 마다 이미지를 양자화 하여 HMD를 통해 사용자에게 양자화된 이미지를 보여준다. 본 논문에서는 제안 방법을 이용한 시스템의 선호도를 조사 하였으며 대부분의 사용자가 제안 방법을 이용한 시스템을 선호 하였다.

The purpose of this study is to find out what type of skip button used in forced exposure advertising is the most positive to the users. The four types of skip buttons were produced for the experiment and tested by survey and eye tracker to reveal the effects of the skip buttons on perceived intrusion, advertising attention, attitude toward advertising, and memory consisting of recall and recognition. Out of 80 participants, 20 were randomly assigned to the specific type of skip button group. The results showed that there is no statistical difference in advertising attention, perceived intrusiveness and attitude toward advertising. However, the recall and recognition rate are the highest in the static text type and kinetic text, product image, and default follow statistically. This study has implications for using skip buttons as a major variable for inventory of TrueView advertising effects and suggests that the amount of information in the image is critical processed by users within very short time.

Motion estimation using Full-Search(FS) and Block-Matching Algorithm(BMA) is often used in the case of moving object tracking by vision sensors. However these methods often miss the real-time vision data because these schemes suffer the heavy computational load. When the image size of moving object is changed in an image frame according to the distance between the camera of mobile robot and the moving object, the tracking performance of a moving object may decline with these methods because of the shortage of active handling. In this paper, the variable-representative block that can reduce a lot of data computations, is defined and optimized by changing the size of representative block accor...

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between body image and BMI with satisfaction of own body image, snack intake practices, food intake practices and weight control practices of 226 female college students in Jeonbuk province using questionnaire. The results were summarized as follows : 1. The average height, weight and BMI was 162.08cm, 52.02kg and 19.78, respectively. The average ideal body weight of the subjects was 48.92kg. Ninety percent of the subjects was dissatisfied with their body image. The degree of dissatisfaction was higher in the group who recognized themselves as fat. Most of subjects wanted to lose weight, but as the group having a recognition of thin body image significantly wanted to gain weight (p<0.001). 2. The subjects preferred fruits and juices for snack. The more subjects recognized themselves as fat, the more they restricted snack intake (p<0.05). 3. The rate of skipping meal tends to increase. The subjects did not intake balanced meals and skipped breakfast most (20.7%). The number of food groups taken at breakfast, lunch and dinner was 1.84, 2.25 and 2.55, respectively and the most variable food groups were taken at dinner(p<0.001). Dairy food group intake was low. The duration of meal time was longer in the underweight group by BMI regardless of body image recognition (p<0.05). 4. The weight controlling method was concentrated mostly on decreasing food intake. The more subjects recognized themselves as fat, the more they tried to control weight (p<0.001). Even though 59.5% of the subjects with no weight control experience had no future weight control plans, 50% of the group who recognized themselves as normal or fat did not want to control weight in the future (p<0.01). These results suggest that nutrition education programs and correction programs of food behaviors and weight control should start from focusing on the accurate recognition of body image for college female students.

This paper presents a multistage adaptive thresholding method and circular Hough transform for pupil detection. Multistage adaptive thresholding is a thresholding method that applies local image statistic within a neighborhood variable and the global thresholds. Therefore, the method can adopt the benefit of local thresholding and prevent an over segmentation at the same time because of the global image information. To detect a pupil, a circular Hough transform is applied to it in which the pupil pattern is considered as a circle shape. The experimental results show the reliability of our proposed method in detecting pupil properly.

영상처리에 있어서 갑작스러운 신호와 불확실한 시스템의 특징을 정확하게 표현하기 위하여 많은 연구가 수행되어 왔다. 많이 알려진 퓨리어 변환은 임의 신호의 주파수 해석에 폭넓게 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 이 방법은 시간 축에서 발생하는 갑작스러운 신호 변환과 비정상적인 신호를 주파수 변환 영역에서 나타낼 수 없으므로 유용하지 않다. 본 논문은 이산 웨이브렛을 이용한 영상해석을 하였다. 이는 웨이브렛 영역에서의 극대치는 Lipschitz 지수 표현이 가능하고, 또한 극대치만 사용하여 영상 데이터의 윤곽선 및 데이터 특성을 표현하는 유용함을 나타내었다. 더욱이 적은 극대치만을 사용하여 본래 영상을 재생하는 것도 가능하게 되었다. fractal 해석은 예로서 적용되었다. 그리고, 모형 배에서 기름 띠의 가시화 영상이 해석되었다. 극대치 해석으로 fractal 변수를 구하고, 가시화 영상 해석의 실험으로 양호한 결과를 얻었다.

In this paper, the method to incorporate TCVQ(Trellis Copded Vector Quantizer) into the encoding of the wavelet trans formed(WT) image followed by a variable length coding(VLC) or an entropy coding(EC) is considered. By WT, an original image is separated into 10 bands with various resolutions and directional components. TCVQ used to compress these WT coefficients is a finite state machine that encodes the input source on the basis of the current input and the current state. Wavelet basis used in this paper is designed by orthogonal spline function. A modified set partitioning algorithm to Wang's is also presented. A simple modification to Wang's algorithm gives a highly time-efficient result. Proposed WT-TCVQ encoder shows a very competitive result, giving 37.46dB in PSNR at 1.002bpp when encoding 512$\times$512 LENA.

An autonomous stair robot recognizing the stair, and climbing up and down the stair by utilizing a robot vision, photo sensors, and appropriate climbing algorithm is introduced. Four arms associated with four wheels make the robot climb up and down more safely and faster than a simple track typed robot. The robot can adjust wheel base according to the stair width, hence it can adopt to a variable width stair with different algorithms in climbing up and down. The command and image data acquired from the robot are transferred to the main computer through RF wireless modules, and the data are delivered to a remote computer via a network communication through a proper data compression, thus, the real time image monitoring is implemented effectively.
