An image hash, a discriminative and robust summary of an image, should be robust against quality-preserving signal processing steps, while being pairwise independent for perceptually different inputs. In order to improve the hash matching performance, this paper proposes a probabilistic dissimilarity matching. Instead of extracting the binary hash from the query image, we compute the probability that the intermediate hash vector of the query image belongs to each quantization bin, which is referred to as soft quantization binning. The probability is used as a weight in comparing the binary hash of the query with that stored in a database. A performance evaluation over sets of image distortions shows that the proposed probabilistic matching method effectively improves the hash matching performance as compared with the conventional Hamming distance.

Image transmission by means of telecommunications is an essential task for information sharing. For considerable distances, wireless channels can be utilized and tuned for proper uses of image data exchange. However, the disturbances that a radio wave encounter during transmission causes partial or total loss of information. Result of such communications is a distorted image at the receiver's end. This paper proposes an auto-encoder architecture as an image enhancement method for narrow-bandwidth radio images. With this method, a distorted image can be improved for better receiver satisfaction. The proposed auto-encoder is trained with many narrow-bandwidth radio image data; hence it enhances a given distorted image. Also, the results were verified with the original image data being the reference images.

In this paper, we analyse the characteristics of the edge image and propose a new entropy coding optimized to the compression of the edge image. The pixel values of the edge image have the Gaussian distribution around '0', and most of the pixel values are '0'. By using this analysis, the Zero Block technique is utilized in spatial domain. And the Intra Prediction Mode of the edge image is similar to the mode of the surrounding blocks or likely to be the Planar Mode or the Horizontal Mode. In this paper, we make use of the MPM technique that produces the Intra Prediction Mode with high probability modes. By utilizing the above properties, we design a new entropy coding method that is suitable for edge image and perform the compression. In case the existing compression techniques are applied to edge image, compression ratio is low and the algorithm is complicated as more than necessity and the running time is very long, because those techniques are based on the natural images. However, the compression ratio and the running time of the proposed technique is high and very short, respectively, because the proposed algorithm is optimized to the compression of the edge image. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm provides better visual and PSNR performance up to 11 times than the JPEG.

In this paper, we propose a new compression method for the edge image by analyzing the characteristics and the distribution of pixel values of the edge image. The pixel values of the edge image have the Gaussian distribution around '0', and most of the pixel values are `0`. By these analyses we suggest the Zero-Based codec that expresses all values in a CU by a single bit flag. Also, in order to reduce the computational complexity of the proposed codec, the block partition and the intra-prediction techniques are proposed by using edge information like the number of each edge direction, the distribution and the amplitude of a major edge direction in the CU. Experimental results show that the proposed codec leads to a slighter distortion in Y domain than that of HEVC, but has far faster processing speed up to 53 times while it maintains the similar image quality compared to HEVC.

칼라 이미지 스케일은 칼라 전문가들의 지식에 의해 획득되고, 형용사와 대응되는 칼라(들)을 선택하기 위해 동일한 형용사 이미지 스케일들에서 형용사들과 칼라를 표현한다. 이들은 이미지 스케일을 얻기 위한 실험과 통계분석의 어려움 때문에 일반적으로, 단지 제한된 수의 칼라들만이 이미지 스케일에 위치한다. 이는 칼라를 선택하는 과정을 비전문가에게 어렵게 만든다. 본 논문에서는 이미지 스케일에 따라 연속적인 칼라를 제공하는 퍼지 K-근접 이웃 보간 방법에 기초를 둔 칼라 이미지 스케일의 보간 방법을 제안한다. 실험의 결과들은 보간된 이미지 스케일은 칼라 선택 과정에 있어 실용적으로 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이라 본다.

Purpose - To active the Korea kimchi distribution, this study aims to investigate the effect of Korea national image and kimchi image on kimchi purchase intention. this study suggest the strategies for kimchi export to China by examining how the Chinese perceptions of Korean kimchi. Research design, data, and methodology - For this study, empirical analysis was conducted based on survey results. A questionnaire was distributed to a total of 400 Chinese consumers. Of these, 280 were collected and 278 were used for statistical processing, excluding 2 that were found to be unsuitable for analysis. This study was performed by the regression analysis using the spss24 statistical program. Results - As a results, It was not significant that the Chinese consumers' familiarity on the Korea image will have a positive effect on their kimchi purchase intention. On the other hand, the kimchi/Korean food image of Chinese consumers' will increase their kimchi consumption experience. Conclusions - The Chinese consumers' positive image on kimchi/Korean food in terms of the unique characteristics of kimchi, health aspects and preference of kimchi is positively influenced when they have higher image on Korea related to its national characteristics, and that of the higher image for Korea has a positive effect on kimchi purchase intention.

This study aims to develop jacquard fashion masks using traditional patterns and investigates the preference and emotions of consumers for them. Nine patterns were designed with the motifs of plum flower, turtle, and geometric patterns using an Adobe Illustrator program. After that, 20 kinds of jacquard fabrics were developed using those patterns, and prototype masks were made. Furthermore, data were collected using a survey of 231 adult consumers to understand the emotional images evoked by jacquard fashion masks with traditional patterns. The results of the research show that the emotional dimension derived from jacquard fashion masks with traditional patterns consists of seven factors: luxurious image, frugal image, feminine image, oriental image, sporty image, geometrical image, generous image. We found that consumers preferred the M6 with the plum flower pattern as the motif as the most preferred design, while M13 with the geometric pattern as the motif was the lowest preferred.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Indonesian's Korean national image and product evaluation on purchase intension of Korean fashion products. The survey was carried out on November, 2014 through online. And the subjects of this study were living in Indonesia. The results of this study were as follows. First, in Indonesia customers showed favorable attitudes towards Korean national image and the assessment of Korean fashion products. Also their purchase intension of products was comparatively high. The customers who purchased more Korean fashion products were more likely to have high purchase intension of them. Second, among the three factors of Korean national image, the advancement and national character had positive influence on the intrinsic attributes of Korean fashion products. Also, the product competitiveness and national character had positive effect on the extrinsic attributes. Third, the product competitiveness and extrinsic attributes had positive influence on the purchase intension on them. In conclusion, Korean national image affects evaluation and purchase intension of Korean fashion products. It is necessary to improve Korea national image within Indonesia fashion market. And it will be a good way of marketing to promote product power of Korea fashion product to Indonesian.

In this paper, we propose efficient content-based image retrieval methods using the automatic extraction of the low-level visual features as image content. Two new feature extraction methods are presented. The first one os an advanced color feature extraction derived from the modification of Stricker's method. The second one is a texture feature extraction using some DCT coefficients which represent some dominant directions and gray level variations of the image. In the experiment with an image database of 200 natural images, the proposed methods show higher performance than other methods. They can be combined into an efficient hierarchical retrieval method.

The feature points of an image play a very important role in understanding the image. Especially, when an image is composed of lines, vertices of the image offer informations about its property and structure. In this paper, a series of process for extracting feature points from actual IC image is described. This result can be used to acquire CIF ( Caltech Intermediate Form ) file.
