  • To achieve flexible visual contents adaptation for multimedia communications, the ISO/IEC MPEG & ITU-T VCEG form the JVT to develop an SVC amendment for the H.264/AVC standard. JVT uses inter-layer prediction that can improve the rate-distortion efficiency of the enhancement layer. But inter-layer prediction causes computational complexity to be increased. In this paper, we propose a fast mode decision for inter frame coding. It makes use of the correlation between optimized prediction mode and its RD cost. Experimental results show that the proposed schemes save up to 38% of encoding time with a negligible coding loss and bit-rate increase.

  • The Korean electric railway is growing rapidly such as speed of 300km/h in high speed section and 230km/h in the conventional railway section. But, power supply failure occurs because of loss of contact, defective catenary system and high speed vehicle. Therefore preventive maintenance way based reliability has been applied. Typical example is the facility inspection method using trolley inspection system. But it is required differentiated inspection method to prevent problem such as inspection errors. In this paper, a study on the trolley sliding condition inspection system using monitoring techniques is performed for performance enhancement of inspection system. It proposed the efficient maintenance method through monitoring the deviation and height of contact wire after installing inspection system on the top of train which operates in the metropolitan area. Inspection errors were decreased by virtually monitoring the video of faulty facilities. Also those facilities were identified through the impact sound analysis and tests at the main catenary section.

  • Droplet evaporation can be used to transfer large amounts of energy since heat is transferred across a thin liquid film. Spreading the drop over a larger area can enhance this heat transfer. One method of accomplishing this is to dissolve gas into the liquid. When the drop strikes the surface, a gas bubble nucleates and can grow and merge within the liquid, resulting in an increase in the droplet diameter. In this study, time and space resolved heat transfer characteristics for a single droplet striking a heated surface were experimentally investigated. The local wall heat flux and temperature measurements were provided by a novel experimental technique in which 96 individually controlled heaters were used to map the heat transfer coefficient contour on the surface. A high-speed digital video camera was used to simultaneously record images of the drop from below. The measurements to date indicate that significantly smaller droplet evaporation times can be achieved. The splat diameter was observed to increase with time just after the initial transient dies out due to the growth of the bubble, in contrast to a monotonically decreasing splat diameter for the case of no bubbles. Bursting of the bubble corresponded to a sudden decrease in droplet heat transfer.

  • 교수학습 사이트는 교과 교육 지원이라는 특성상 그 서비스 개선에 있어서 사용자 중심적 디자인이 특히 요구된다. 기존 웹사이트 개선 연구는 단순히 웹사이트와 사용자 간의 인터랙션에서 발생하는 문제점에 초점을 맞추어 왔는데 사용자의 근본적인 니즈를 발견하고 만족시키기 위해서는 웹사이트 사용 정황의 이해라는 보다 확대된 개념에서의 접근이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 웹사이트의 문제점 발견 및 사용자의 근본적 니즈 파악을 위하여 오프라인과 온라인 환경에 걸친 사용자 경험 관찰 프로세스를 기획하고 교수학습 사이트 서비스 개선을 위해 이를 적용하였다. 사이트 비지팅(Site Visiting), 비디오 에쓰노그라피(Video Ethnography), 사용자 다이어리 및 셀프카메라(User diary and Self camera), 그리고 인터뷰 기법이 현장 조사에서 이용되었으며 원격 사용성 평가 소프트웨어를 활용한 사용성 평가 및 카드소팅 테스트가 온라인 환경에서 진행되었다. 관찰 후 분석을 통해 교수학습 사이트의 새로운 컨텐츠 및 서비스 방향을 도출할 수 있었으며 웹사이트 사용자 경험 관찰 방법론 정립에의 가능성을 제시하였다.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine the infant-teacher interaction and its possible effects. The subjects of this study were 24 child-care teachers from Jungup City, Korea. Among them, 12 teachers participated m the program as an experimental group. The program processed 8 sessions in total, a session a week and 90 minutes for each session. The data was collected by questionnaires of infant-teacher interactions and videotapes of their linguistic and behavioral interactions between infants and teachers. The collected data was analyzed by t-tests, wilcoxon signed-rank tests, and video content analysis. As a result, the teachers in the experimental group showed more significant enhancement than teachers in the comparison group in relation to the post-test of positive linguistic interactions between infant and teacher and teacher' positive reaction.

  • In this paper, we propose motion estimation and compensation using Low-Band-Shift(LBS) with Integer Lifting Shift property. To overcome shift-variant property on wavelet coefficients, the LBS was previously proposed. This method which is applied to reference frame in video coding technique has superior performance in terms of rate-distortion characteristic. However, this method needs more memory and computational complexity. For the enhancement of those disadvantages, we propose motion estimation using Low-Band-Shift with Integer Lifting. The Integer Lifting implementation gives us good efficiency of calculation and storage.

  • There are various reports on the fracture of mechanical heart valves implanted in human or animal, and they are pointed out that problems are induced by an erosion of disk surface, due to a cavitation effect. We have been investigating this mechanism using accelerated fatigue tester, and it was found that erosion was enhanced by a compliance effect in the test circuit. In this study, effects of compliance value and location on erosion were discussed, while disk closing velocity was measured by a high speed video camera. It was clarified that faster closing velocity was resulting in a enhancement of erosion on the disk surface.

  • The purpose of this study is to profile actual conditions of personal information protection systems operated in overseas countries and examine major considerations of personal information that security service providers must know in the capacity of privacy information processor, so that it may contribute to preventing potential occurrence of any legal disputes in advance. Particularly, this study further seeks to describe fundamental idea and principle of said Personal Information Protection Act; enhancement of various safety measures (e.g. collection/use of privacy data, processing of sensitive information/personal ID information, and encryption of privacy information); restrictions on installation/operation of video data processing devices; and penal regulations as a means of countermeasure against leakage of personal information, while proposing possible solutions to cope with these matters. Using cases among foreign countries for this study.

  • In this article, we present a performance enhancement scheme for mobile applications by adopting persistent memory. The proposed scheme supports the deadline guarantee of real-time applications like a video player, and also provides reasonable performances for non-real-time applications. To do so, we analyze the program execution path of mobile software platforms and find two sources of unpredictable time delays that make the deadline-guarantee of real-time applications difficult. The first is the irregular activation of garbage collection in flash storage and the second is the blocking and time-slice based scheduling used in mobile platforms. We resolve these two issues by adopting high performance persistent memory as the storage of real-time applications. By maintaining real-time applications and their data in persistent memory, I/O latency can become predictable because persistent memory does not need garbage collection. Also, we present a new scheduler that exclusively allocates a processor core to a real-time application. Although processor cycles can be wasted while a real-time application performs I/O, we depict that the processor utilization is not degraded significantly due to the acceleration of I/O by adopting persistent memory. Simulation experiments show that the proposed scheme improves the deadline misses of real-time applications by 90% in comparison with the legacy I/O scheme used in mobile systems.
