The geometriccorrection of a satellite imagery is performed by making a systematic correction with satellite ephemerides and attitude angles followed by employing the Ground Control Points (GCSs) or Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). In a remote area or an inaccessible area, however, GCPs are unavailable to be surveyed and thus they can be obtained only by reading maps, which are not accurate in reality. In this study, we performed the systematic correction process to the inaccessible area and the precise geometric correction process to the adjacent accessible area by using GCPs. Then we analyzed the correlation between the two geo-referenced Korea Multiurpose Satellite (KOMPSAT-1 EOC) images. A new geometrical correction for the inaccessible area imagery is achieved by applying the correlation to the inaccessibleimagery. By employing this new method, the accuracy of the inaccessible area imagery is significantly improved absolutely and relatively.

Classification of human thought is an emerging research field that may allow us to understand human brain functions and further develop advanced brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. In the present study, we introduce a new approach to classify various mental states from noninvasive electrophysiological recordings of human brain activity. We utilized the full spatial and spectral information contained in the electroencephalography (EEG) signals recorded while a subject is performing a specific mental task. For this, the EEG data were converted into a 2D spatiospectral pattern map, of which each element was filled with 1, 0, and -1 reflecting the degrees of event-related synchronization (ERS) and event-related desynchronization (ERD). We evaluated the similarity between a current (input) 2D pattern map and the template pattern maps (database), by taking the inner-product of pattern matrices. Then, the current 2D pattern map was assigned to a class that demonstrated the highest similarity value. For the verification of our approach, eight participants took part in the present study; their EEG data were recorded while they performed four different cognitive imagery tasks. Consistent ERS/ERD patterns were observed more frequently between trials in the same class than those in different classes, indicating that these spatiospectral pattern maps could be used to classify different mental states. The classification accuracy was evaluated for each participant from both the proposed approach and a conventional mental state classification method based on the inter-hemispheric spectral power asymmetry, using the leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV). An average accuracy of 68.13% (${\pm}9.64%$) was attained for the proposed method; whereas an average accuracy of 57% (${\pm}5.68%$) was attained for the conventional method (significance was assessed by the one-tail paired $t$-test, $p$ < 0.01), showing that the proposed simple classification approach might be one of the promising methods in discriminating various mental states.

Purpose : We investigated the reproducibility of language lateralization by 4 different word generation paradigms or the rest contents in each paradigm using functional magnetic resonance imaging in normal volunteers Materials and Methods Nine normal volunteers with left-handedness (mean age: 25 yrs) were examined on a 1.57 MR unit using a single-shot gradient echo epibold sequence. Four different word generation paradigms of noun, verb, adjective and adverb were used in each normal volunteer for investigating language system. In each paradigm, two different rest contents consisted of only seeing the " +" symbol or reading the meaningless letters. Each task consisted of 96 phases including 3 activations and 6 rests of 2 different contents. Two activation maps in one task were obtained under two different rest contents using the correlation method. We evaluated the detection rates of Broca and Wernicke areas and the differences of language lateralization among four different word generation paradigms, or between the rest contents. Results : The detection rates of Broca and Wernicke areas were over 67 % in 4 different language paradigms and there was no significant difference of them among language paradigms, or between two different rest contents. Language dominances, in all 4 different language paradigms, were shown to be consistent in 66 %, but were contrary with language paradigms in some subjects. The rest contents made no significant effect on dominant language dominance determination, but the success rates of the dominant language dominances determined from 4 language paradigms were higher in reading the meaningless letter (100%, n=9) than in only seeing "+" on screen at the rest task (78%, n=7).

Scene text recognition has important application value and attracted the interest of plenty of researchers. At present, many methods have achieved good results, but most of the existing approaches attempt to improve the performance of scene text recognition from the image level. They have a good effect on reading regular scene texts. However, there are still many obstacles to recognizing text on low-quality images such as curved, occlusion, and blur. This exacerbates the difficulty of feature extraction because the image quality is uneven. In addition, the results of model testing are highly dependent on training data, so there is still room for improvement in scene text recognition methods. In this work, we present a natural scene text recognizer to improve the recognition performance from the feature level, which contains feature representation and feature enhancement. In terms of feature representation, we propose an efficient feature extractor combined with Representative Batch Normalization and ResNet. It reduces the dependence of the model on training data and improves the feature representation ability of different instances. In terms of feature enhancement, we use a feature enhancement network to expand the receptive field of feature maps, so that feature maps contain rich feature information. Enhanced feature representation capability helps to improve the recognition performance of the model. We conducted experiments on 7 benchmarks, which shows that this method is highly competitive in recognizing both regular and irregular texts. The method achieved top1 recognition accuracy on four benchmarks of IC03, IC13, IC15, and SVTP.

본 연구의 목적은 관광지도에서 다양한 형태로 제작 사용되고 있는 점기호들의 상징수준과 선호도에 나타난 인지적 특성을 커뮤니케이션의 측면에서 살펴보는 것이다. 이를 위해 지도제작자가 의도한 점기호의 의미와 이용자에 의한 해석의 일치 정도를 고려하여 이들의 상징수준을 검토하고, 선호경향을 파악하여 기호를 처리하는 과정에서 발생하는 인지적 특성을 분석하였다. 연구 결과 점기호는 시각적 형상을 구체적으로 표현하며 그 방식에 있어 간결성이 있고 사전 학습 및 시각경험에 의한 친숙성이 있을 때, 기호의 의미와 해석이 일치되는 높은 상징수준을 보였다. 또 상징수준이 높은 기호일수록 선호되는 경향이 나타나며, 이를 통해 선호도에 영향을 미치는 요인이 시각적 경험에 의한 친숙성, 표현방식의 간결성, 표현된 형상의 구체성, 시각화한 속성의 대표성임을 추론할 수 있었다. 이들 선호결정 요인은 복합적으로 작용하나 대체로 친숙성이 간결성보다 우선하였다. 이처럼 정보를 시각화하는 방식과 이미지로 표현된 내용, 인지적인 측면에서의 친근함이 상징수준과 선호도의 상대적 차이를 만들었다. 효율적인 지도읽기를 위해 점기호 처리과정에서 드러난 인지적 특성을 고려하여 보다 상징수준이 높은 관광지도의 기호가 개발되어야 할 것이다.

This study investigated the effect of generative concept maps according to learning achievements and cognitive load. A total of 78 students in the first grade of middle school participated in this study. Before the experimental treatment was implemented, students had to fill out a questionnaire assessing prior knowledge. The study was designed where all the students were presented the same learning contents regarding photosynthesis; however, the two experimental groups were provided with different concept map methods: a learner-generative concept map (GCM) and an instructor-provided concept map (PCM). GCM students were asked to make a concept map by themselves in small groups while they are reading material. PCM students were instructed to study in small groups in order to read the material; however, they were provided a concept map developed by their teacher. The control group (CG) had the teacher present the learning contents in traditional lecture format with no accompanying concept map. The results show that there were significant differences in the achievements among the groups. CG showed higher achievement than both the experimental groups. There was also a significant difference in cognitive load. Although the GCM group did not obtain higher achievement than the other groups, the GCM group showed higher mental effort and lower physical fatigue than the other groups. The GCM group might have invested more effort to find and connect ideas when drawing their concept map with peers which is unlike the conditions for the PCM group and CG. In conclusion, we should consider applying GCM in teaching and learning design in order to increase learning achievement and decrease extraneous cognitive load.

There is developing interest in precision agriculture in Korea, despite the fact that typical Korean fields are less than 1 ha in size. Describing within-field variability in typical Korean production settings is a fundamental first step toward determining the size of management zones and the inter-relationships between limiting factors, for establishment of site-specific management strategies. Measurements of rice (Oriza Sativa L) yield, chlorophyll content, and soil properties were obtained in a small (100-m by 30-m) Korean rice paddy field. Yield data were manually collected on 10-m by 5-m grids (180 samples with 3 samples in each of 60 grid cells) and chlorophyll content was measured using a Minolta SPAD 502 in 2-m by 2-m grids. Soil samples were collected at 275 points to compare results from sampling at different scales. Ten soil properties important for rice production in Korea were determined through laboratory analyses. Variogram analysis and point kriging with and without median polishing were conducted to determine the variability of the measured parameters. Influence of variogram model selection and other parameters on the interpretation of the data was investigated. For many of the data, maximum values were greater than double the minimum values, indicating considerable spatial variability in the small paddy field, and large-scale spatial trends were present. When variograms were fit to the original data, the limits of spatial dependency for rice yield and SP AD reading were 11.5 m and 6.5 m, respectively, and after detrending the limits were reduced to 7.4 m and 3.9 m. The range of spatial dependency for soil properties was variable, with several having ranges as short as 2 m and others having ranges greater than 30 m. Kriged maps of the variables clearly showed the presence of both large-scale (trend) variability and small-scale variability in this small field where it would be reasonable to expect uniformity. These findings indicate the potential for applying the principles and technology of precision agriculture for Korean paddy fields. Additional research is needed to confirm the results with data from other fields and crops.d similar tendency with the result for the frequency less than 20 Hz, but the width of change was reduced highly.

본 연구는 장성 필암서원의 입지 형국 풍수지리 등 장소성에 담긴 의미경관적 요소와 서원배치에 따른 시지각적 공간구성에 담긴 미학성 독해를 위해 시도되었다. 고지도에 표기된 '필암서원', '필봉서원', '김하서서원' 등에서 보이듯 '필암'은 곧 '필봉'이며 이는 '김하서'라는 인식이 드러나고 있다. 서원의 배산 필암산(문필산)과 필암(붓바위)은 필암서원 장소정체성 구축의 핵심이며 하서 김인후의 상징으로, 연고성을 바탕으로 한 깊은 인걸지령(人傑地靈)의 관계로 엮여있음이 읽혀진다. 필암서원은 안산(案山) 없이 파노라믹한 '증산들'을 안대(案對)로 한 계거(溪居)의 입지특성을 보인다. 하서의 태생지인 맥동마을과 필암 그리고 '단봉함서형(丹鳳含書形)' 형국을 반영한 서원의 터잡기와 조형적 반영 그리고 건물 '이름붙이기'에서 드러난 필암서원의 액호(額號)와 각 건물의 당호(堂號) 또한 성리학적 가르침을 바탕으로, 자연과 인간이 하나 되는 천인합일(天人合一)의 인식 결과에 따른 기호경관적 특질은 여타 서원 보다 뚜렷하다. 확연루(누문)-청절당(강당)-진덕재 숭의재(재실)-우동사(사당)의 "전당후재형" 배치로 구축된 교접마당을 통한 중심성의 극대화는 필암서원 고유의 공간 프레임적 특성이다. 여기에 더하여 '유식공간과 제향공간내 경장각과 계생비 배치로 얻어진 내심 이동'을 통한 중심성의 강화' 그리고 '영역성의 강화를 위한 시설과 장치' 등에서 필암서원의 공간구성상의 경관짜임이 읽혀진다. 또한 '창호 구성을 통한 조망 중심성의 강화', ' "틀에넣기"와 중첩을 통한 시각적 투명성 확보' 그리고 '재실 툇마루 높이를 통한 위계성의 구현' 등의 시각구성상의 경관짜임을 통해 성리학적 사고를 바탕으로 한 질서와 미학성이 필암서원 조형에 논리적으로 구현되었음을 독해하였다. 이와 같이 경관 재구성을 통해 정리되고 새롭게 읽혀진 필암서원의 의미체계와 공간 및 시각구성상의 미학성은 결코 우연이 아닌 필연적 결과로, 장성 필암서원의 내적 충일을 높일 수 있는 요인이며 또 다른 자원기반이다. 본 연구를 통해 얻은 경관독해의 결과가 필암서원에 대한 이해 증진과 드러나지 않은 문화경관에 대한 감수성을 높이는데 기여할 것을 기대한다.
