In this paper. a key frame extraction algorithm for browsing and searching the summary of a video is proposed. Toward this end, important frames representing a shot are selected according to the correlations among frames. by using the Fourier descriptor which is useful for the shot boundary detection. To quantitatively evaluate the importance of selected frames. a new measure based on correlation coefficients of frames is proposed. If there are several frames with a same importance. another criteria is introduced to break the tie. by computing the partial moment of subframes including each candidate key frame so that the distortion rate is minimized Since a key frame extraction algorithm can be evaluated subjectively. the performance of the proposed algorithm has been verified by a statistical test. Experiments show that more than 20% improvement has been obtained by the proposed algorithm compared to existing methods.

The purpose of this study is to confirm whether the fit between the task and the information characteristics makes any effects on the user satisfaction. The task is defined as two sub-constructs representing the degree of exception and analyzability. The information characteristics is divided into the degree of aggregation, scope and timeliness of information. User satisfaction was used as a surrogate measure of the performance of information systems. The computer self-efficacy was used to control any confounding effects. Field research method using questionnaires was employed to empirically investigate the relationship among the variables. Findings of the study are summarized as follows: the fit between the task and the aggregation of information and between the task and the scope of information turned out to have significant effects on information system performance. The implication of such results is that under highly exceptional or less analyzable task environment, less-aggregated or broad information is more appropriate.

Encoding of segment contours is a critical part of a region-based coding system especially at low bit rates where the contour information occupies a majority of the bit rate. When approximating contours with polygons, a fixed upper bound on the distortion is set for the approximation process. Instead of using this fixed bound, adaptive approximation bound for a lossy coding of contourts is proposed in this paper. A function representing the relative importance of the contour segmentis defined to take into account the spatial content of the image. By using this function, the contour can be approximated adaptively. This allows a more general approach than the methods with the fixed distortion measure. The effectiveness of the adaptive contour coding approach is verified through experiments.

Several figures representing velocity transmission from joint space to task space are analyzed and compared with each other. The figures include velocity ellipsoid derived from Jacobian matrix, scaled velocity ellipsoid derived from normalized joint velocities, polytope derived by numerical scaling, and polytopes derived by linear combinations of Jacobian column vectors. The results show that the optimal directions given by the measures are not the same and the conventional velocity ellipsoid is not good choice as optimization measure as far as the moving direction is concerned. Simulation examples for 3 d.o.f. redundant robot manipulators in 2-dimensional task space are given for comparison study.

Up to the present day, the best solution we can get to the truncated moment problem (TMP) is probably the Flat Extension Theorem. It says that if the corresponding moment matrix of a moment sequence admits a rank-preserving positive extension, then the sequence has a representing measure. However, constructing a flat extension for most higher-order moment sequences cannot be executed easily because it requires to allow many parameters. Recently, the author has considered various decompositions of a moment matrix to find a solution to TMP instead of an extension. Using a new approach with the Hadamard product, the author would like to introduce more techniques related to moment matrix decompositions.

Experiments were carried out to measure variations in the oxidation potential and current density using the polarization curves of polycarbonate. The results were then examined to identify the influences affecting the oxidation potential related to various conditions, such as temperature, pH, and oxydase(citrate and lipase). The lines representing the active anodic and cathodic dissolution shifted only slightly in the potential direction relative to temperature, pH, and the effect of the enzyme. The Tafel slope for the anodic and cathodic dissolution was determined such that the reversibility polarization was indicated as being effected by various conditions. The slope of the polarization curves describing the active-to-passive transition region shifted noticeably in their direction. Also, by varying the conditions, the optimum conditions for the most ready transform were identified, including temperature, pH, oxidation rate, and resistance of oxidation potential. The critical oxidation sensitivity(I(sub)r/I(sub)f) of the anodic current density peak and maximum passive current density was also determined, which is used in measuring the critical corrosion sensitivity of a polycarbonate.

The estimation of the work of heart can be treated as one of the most important parameters for determining the amount of circulating blood needed for harmonious metabolism in the human body. By monitoring the work of heart, one can detect increased work load of heart and start the treatment at the early stage of CHF. Thus it is necessary to estimate the work of heart. The contractility of the left ventricle, the second important parameter for representing the motion of heart, can be estimated through information on the work of heart. In this study, the modified Windkessel model, which has been used for a measure of vascular hemodynamic impedance parameters, was adapted to estimate the work of heart.

A new mechanical probe for 3-D feature measurement on coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) is presented. The probe is composed of the contact stylus and the three-component force sensor. With the stylus mounted on the force sensor, the probe can not only measure 3-D features, but also detect contact force acting on the stylus tip. Furthermore, the probing direction and the actual contact position can be determined by the relationship among three components of contact force to be detected. In this paper, transformation matrix representing the relationship between the external force acting on the stylus tip and the output voltages of measurement gauges is derived and calibrated. The prototype of probe is developed and its availability is investigated through the experimental setup for calibration test of the probe. A series of experimental results show that the proposed probe can be an effective means of improving the accuracy of touch probing on CMM.

A calibration method for multiple sets of stereo vision cameras is proposed. To measure the three-dimensional shape of a very long object, measuring the object at different viewpoints and registration of the data are necessary. In this study, two lasers beams generate two strings of calibration targets, which form straight lines in the world coordinate system. An evaluation function is defined to calculate the sum of the squares of the distances between each transformed target and the fitted line representing the laser beam to each target, and the distances between points appearing in the data sets of two adjacent viewpoints. The calculation process for the approximation method based on data linearity is presented. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the method.

Snakes is an active contour model or representing image contours. To detect chest boundary on thoracic MRI sequences, we proposed a method based on modified greedy algorithm. Because thoracic MRI sequences have a spatial correlation, we added energy term related with spatial correlation to Snakes energy formulation. A measure of shape similarity called the BMD was used to evaluate the accuracy of the algorithm. The average BMD value or the modified algorithm's result is higher than greedy algorithm's.
