Objective: This study compares two visual occlusion methods for the evaluation of in-vehicle interfaces. Background: Visual occlusion is a visual demand measuring technique which uses periodic vision/occlusion cycle to simulate a driving(or mobile) environment. It has been widely used for the evaluation of in-vehicle interfaces. There are two major implementation methods for this technique: (1) occlusion using PLATO(portable liquid crystal apparatus for tachistoscopic occlusion) goggles; (2) occlusion using a software application on a touchscreen device. Method: An experiment was conducted to examine the visual demand of an in-vehicle interface prototype using the goggle-based and the touchscreen-based occlusion methods. Address input and radio tuning tasks were evaluated in the experiment. Results: The results showed that, for the radio tuning task, there were no significant differences in total shutter open time and resumability ratio between the two occlusionconditions. However, it took longer for the participants to input addresses with the touchscreen-based occlusion. Conclusion & Application: The results suggest that touchscreen-based method could be used as an alternative to traditional, gogglebased visual occlusion especially in less demanding visual tasks such as radio tuning.

행동 효과(action effect)란, 특정 자극에 대한 단순한 행동이 이후의 시각 탐색 과제에서 해당 자극의 인지적 처리를 향상시키는 효과를 말한다. 본 연구는 행동을 지시하는 단어의 의미적 표상과 실제로 수행하는 행동의 종류가 행동 효과에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 시행되었다. 실험 1은 선행 연구의 실험 패러다임을 반복 검증하였다. 참가자는 화면을 통해 제시되는 "출발" 또는 "정지"의 행동 지시어를 보고 뒤이어 나타나는 원형 자극에 대하여 키보드를 이용해 응답하거나(출발 조건) 응답하지 않았다(정지 조건). 다음으로, 참가자는 한쪽으로 기울어진 선분을 찾아 기울어진 방향을 보고하는 시각 탐색 과제를 수행하였다. 이때 표적 자극은 이전에 제시되었던 원형 자극 위에 나타나거나(타당 조건) 다른 자극 위에 나타날 수 있었다(비타당 조건). 시각 탐색 과제의 반응 속도를 분석한 결과, 선행연구와 동일한 행동 효과(행동 조건과 타당도 조건의 상호작용)를 관찰할 수 있었다. 실험 2에서는 반응 도구 및 물리적 행동의 종류가 상이한 경우에도 행동 효과가 유지되는지 알아보고자 진행되었다. 참가자는 제시되는 행동 지시어에 대하여 키보드를 이용해 응답하였으나, 시각 탐색 과제에서는 조이스틱 방향을 조정함으로써 반응을 보고하였다. 그 결과, 타당도에 따른 주효과 및 행동 효과 모두 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 단어의 의미적 표상이 행동 효과에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여, 실험 3에서는 두 행동 조건 모두 반응을 하지 않게 하였고, 실험 4에서는 두 행동조건 모두 각기 다른 키를 사용하여 반응하게 하였다. 그 결과, 두 실험 모두 타당도에 따른 주효과만 유의미했으며 행동 효과는 관측되지 않았다. 실험 3과 실험 4의 결과를 비교 분석한 결과, 실험 유형과 타당도 간의 상호작용이 관찰되었다. 본 연구는 행동 지시어의 의미적 표상만으로는 행동 효과를 야기할 수 없으며, 이중과제 패러다임에서 물리적 반응의 도구 및 종류와 상관없이 행동 효과가 관찰될 수 있다는 점을 시사한다.

Two experiments were conducted to support the suggestion that the same information processing was used in both input modalities, visual and auditory modality in Wonil Choi & Kichun Nam(2003)'s paper. The primed lexical decision task was performed and pseudoword prime stimuli were used. The result was that priming effect did not occur in any experimental condition. This result might be interpreted visual facilitative information and phonological inhibitory information cancelled each other.

Purpose - The current distribution enterprises have realized the necessity for integrated and specialized images in their stores. From those reasons, visual merchandising has been considered as a powerful means towards brand value judgement as well as maximizing both brand and corporate identity. This research intends to study and discuss the current situations in Korean visual merchandising and its future concept setting. Based on the research findings, this paper tries to propose the basic concept for development strategies of visual merchandising in Korean distribution market. Although the studies on visual merchandising in Korean traditional markets have been continued, visual merchandisers have been distorted by display control centers in real situations. Therefore, this study tries to set both current and future concepts in visual merchandising for further discussions and a new complement formulation. Research design, data, and methodology - This study has investigated previous studies with the way of normative study by comparing, organizing concepts and relating terms on visual merchandising. In order to be an exact research, it seems to be more appropriate to analyze this study with a deductive analysis way rather than inductive as for getting the core of visual merchandising. Besides, this study changed the term 'visual merchandising' into 'VMD', and used it as an unified one. Results - Visual merchandising has an important key in retail planning. With focusing on organizing visual merchandising concepts, it should be adequate for domestic circumstances because there are various visual merchandising concepts with different perspectives. Thus, it is necessary to establish a concept including modern and Korean features through previous studies and data. Visual merchandising can be defined as followings. It enhances the value of shop images from visual aspects and conveys brand concepts effectively. Its task is to plan and manage products sales by combining three merchandising domains such as interior, display, and merchandising. Conclusions - There are some limitations on setting academic concepts in visual merchandising due to its features as to be taken in the field focused studies. More meaningful case studies should be performed as an area of future studies. Therefore, it is necessary to perform an effectiveness analysis on empirical visual merchandising state and present the course of development.

In this paper, a visual servoing control technique of humanoid robot arms is implemented for tracking a moving object. An embedded time-delayed controller is designed on an FPGA(Programmable field gate array) chip and implemented to control humanoid robot arms. The position of the moving object is detected by a stereo vision camera and converted to joint commands through the inverse kinematics. Then the robot arm performs visual servoing control to track a moving object in real time fashion. Experimental studies are conducted and results demonstrate the feasibility of the visual feedback control method for a moving object tracking task by the humanoid robot arms called the ROBOKER.

It is necessary to calibrate measurement systems to enhance its measurement accuracy. The visual sensing system that is presented in our previous work has to be calibrated, too. It is a multiple mirror system for three-dimensional measurement, which is composed of a camera and a series of mirrors. It is important to calibrate the positions and orientations of the mirrors relative to the camera because they have direct influence on the relationship between the image plane and the task space. This paper presents the calibration method for the visual sensing system. To confirm the measurement performance of the implemented system. its measurement accuracy in measuring the locations in three-dimensional space is investigated. A series of experiments for measuring the locations of the circle-shaped marks are performed. Experimental results show that the sensing system can be effectively used for three-dimensional measurement.

Object segmentation is a challenging task in image processing and computer vision. In this paper, we present a visual attention based segmentation method to segment small sized interesting objects in natural images. Different from the traditional methods, we first search the region of interest by using our novel saliency-based method, which is mainly based on band-pass filtering, to obtain the appropriate frequency. Secondly, we applied the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to locate the object region. By incorporating the visual attention analysis into object segmentation, our proposed approach is able to narrow the search region for object segmentation, so that the accuracy is increased and the computational complexity is reduced. The experimental results indicate that our proposed approach is efficient for object segmentation in natural images, especially for small objects. Our proposed method significantly outperforms traditional GMM based segmentation.

Visual feedback has traditionally been used in robot manipulator control to a limited extent. However in varying environment, visual data is needed to control the manipulator to complete the desired task. In this paper we present a method of manipulator control scheme called image-based visual servo. In this scheme we use image data as feedback to control robot manipulator. And we also show the experimental results with an industrial robot manipulator.
