In order to provide natural images with a specified depth through three-dimensional display system, the stereo images should be similar to those projected from real environment as much as possible. Even when two persons see an identical scene, the binocular Parallax between two images of an object varies as a function of one's inter-pupilary distance (IPD). In this study, we investigated whether individual differences, such as IPD and accommodative vergence, would affect the perception of three dimensional scene provided by stereo-images. Results showed that a person's IPD is correlated with the limit of screen and binocular parallax for single vision, and affects the perceived depth of an object on fixation. More specifically, with longer IPD the limit of screen and binocular parallax for single vision is decreased, and the perceived depth is reduced. These results suggest that the screen and binocular parallax of an object should be calibrated with regard to users IPD to provide natural stereo-images with a specified depth and to Prevent double vision.

PURPOSE: Previous studies have shown that healthy young adults reduced gait velocity during texting or talking while walking. It was reported that increasing number of pedestrian accidents were related to distract the environmental attention. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of texting and texting while listening to music on gait parameters. METHODS: Texting and listening to music while walking were assessed in two dual-task condition using 35 healthy young adults. The outcome measurements were assessed in terms of spatiotemporal gait parameters in three walking conditions, namely, comfortable walking speed, walking while texting, and walking while texting and listening to music. To avoid learning effect, subjects were individually blinded to assessment schedule and space. The changes between the three walking conditions were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. RESULTS: When comparing the two dual-task conditions with the single-task condition, it was found that dual-task interference was increased in almost gait velocity, cadence, stride length, step time, double limb support, and single limb support. In addition, walking while texting and listening to music condition negatively was affected gait speed, stride length, and step time more than the texting only condition. CONCLUSION: Walking while texting and listening to music as well as waling while texting may decrease pedestrian safety when crossing streets by diverting the person's attention away from the street environment.

This paper studies on the recognition rate change with respect to illumination variance and the confidence level of PCA(Principal Component Analysis) based face recognition by measuring the cumulative match score of CMC(Cumulative Match Characteristic). We studied on the confidence level of the algorithm under illumination changes and selection of training images not only by testing multiple training images per person with illumination variance and single training image and but also by changing the illumination conditions of testing images. The experiment shows that the recognition rate drops for multiple training image case compared to single training image case. We, however, confirmed the confidence level of the algorithm under illumination variance by the fact that the training image which corresponds to the identity of testing image belongs to upper similarity lists regardless of illumination changes and the number of training images.

Group communication that involves the setup of a list of users has been a topic of interest in mobile industry. Push to Talk over Cellular (PoC), a group communication service for cellular phone network, is a type of half duplex communications that allows a single person to reach an active talk group without making several calls, but a single button press. Based on this service, we build a new protocol called Push to Talk over Mobile Wimax that uses group communication service in 802.16e network. Also, weper formed simulation to verify and evaluate performance of the designed service in Mobile Wimax network. From the results of performance evaluation, network administrators can evaluate the stability of network and make a better of network's shortcoming and have decision to build the robust network.

In this paper, we introduce the technology to convert a single human image into a fashion show animation video clip. The technology can help the customers confirm the dynamic fitting result when combined with the virtual try on technique as well as the interesting experience to a normal person of being a fashion model. We developed an extended technique of full human 2D to 3D inverse modeling based on SMPLify human body inverse modeling technique, and a rigged model animation method. The 3D shape deformation of the full human from the body model was performed by 2 part deformation in the image domain and reconstruction using the estimated depth information. The quality of resultant animation videos are made to be publically available for evaluation. We consider it is a promising approach for commercial application when supplemented with the post - processing technology such as image segmentation technique, mapping technique and restoration technique of obscured area.

This study considers the problems and social changes caused by the increase of single-person households in the elderly, and examines SmartHome services for them. We chose trust, security risk, self efficacy, social influence, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness as factors that affect attitude. The cognitive level of these factors and the difference betweene gender and education level of these factors were analyzed. The analysis showed that the elderly were fully aware of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. In addition, the elderly women are more socially influenced than the elderly men in the use of SmartHome services, and there was a significant difference in self efficacy and social influence by education level. This study will provide a new research perspective for subsequent studies and can be utilized as an important underlying study.

Purpose: This study is a secondary data analysis study to identify factors related to the quality of life of people aged 65 y or older, according household type. Methods: In 2019, the study extracted the data from the elderly participants (65 y of age or older) from G province Community Health Survey. The data were compiled and analyzed in a composite sample. Results: The quality of life was lowest among single people, grandparents-grandchildren (F=39.88, p<.001). Variables that significantly influenced quality of life in single-person households were basic security(β=-.03, p=.002), high-risk drinking (β=.04, p=.002), number of day to walk (β=.01, p<.001), diabetes mellitus (β=-.03, p<.001), depression (β=-.02, p<.001), and contact frequency (β=.00, p<.001). Variables that significantly influenced grandparents-grandchildren households were basic security (β=.03, p<.001), smoking(β=-.02, p<.001), number of day to walk (β=.00, p<.001), hypertension (β=-.01, p=.009), diabetes mellitus (β=-.04, p<.001), cognitive impairment (β=-.02, p<.001), depression(β=-.02, p<.001), contact frequency (β=.01, p<.001), and neighborhood trust (β=.02, p<.001). Conclusion: In this study, there were differences in health-related quality of life for each type of household, and various support systems are needed in their social networks to suit their characteristics.

Video content is divided into long-form video content and short-form video content according to the length. Long form video content is created with a length of 15 minutes or longer, and all frames of the captured video are included without editing. Short-form video content can be edited to a shorter length from 1 minute to 15 minutes, and only some frames from the frames of the captured video. Due to the recent growth of the single-person broadcasting market, the demand for short-form video content to increase viewers is increasing. Therefore, there is a need for research on content editing technology for editing and generating short-form video content. This study studies the technology to create short-form videos of main scenes by capturing images, voices, and motions. Short-form videos of key scenes use a pre-trained highlight extraction model through machine learning. An automatic video editing system and method for automatically generating a highlight video is a core technology of short-form video content. Machine learning-based automatic video editing method and system research will contribute to competitive content activities by reducing the effort and cost and time invested by single creators for video editing

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the food sources of zinc and the usual intake of dietary zinc among Korean toddlers and preschool children. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A total of 2,679 children aged 1-5 years was selected from the 2009-2013 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data. Dietary data collected from a single 24-h recall were used to evaluate the food sources of zinc. To estimate usual zinc intake, the distribution obtained from single 24-h recall data in the total sample was adjusted using the ratio of within-to-between-person variance in zinc intake obtained from 2-day 24-h recall sub-sample data of the 2009 KNHANES. The proportion of children with usual zinc intake below the estimated average requirement (EAR) and above the tolerable upper intake level (UL) was assessed. RESULTS: The main sources of zinc in Korean children were grains, dairy products, and meat. The mean usual intakes of zinc among all individuals, those aged 1-2 yrs, and those aged 3-5 yrs were 5.50, 5.01, and 5.83 mg/d, respectively. In all participants, 1.1% of the children consumed zinc below the EAR, whereas 10.7% exceeded the UL. The proportion of children with excessive zinc intake was 25.6% in the 1-2 yrs age group and 0.6% in the 3-5 yrs age group. CONCLUSIONS: According to the current UL, the risk of excessive zinc intake appears to be high among Korean toddlers. Future studies that monitor the health effects of excessive zinc intake are needed to appropriately guide zinc intake in children.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the differences of ejection fraction of left ventricle through the quantitative analysis of diastolic and systolic volumes according to slices selected using cardiac MR imaging. A total of 12 volunteers (7 normal, 1 myocardium bridge, and 4 arrhythmia) underwent cardiac MRI on a MR scanner(Magnetom Trio, Siemens, Germany). Ejection fractions for quantitative analysis were calculated at single slice of center of left ventricle, 3, 5, and 6-7 slices extending from the center of left ventricle. Average values were analyzed for evaluating differences of ejection fraction according to the number of slices selected. Mean value of normal person of ejection fraction were 67.14% at single slice of center of left ventricle, 66.24% at 3 slices, 65.63% at 5 slices, and 65.29% at 6-7 slices. While ejection fraction obtained from a patient with 61.74% at single slice of center of left ventricle, 60.92% at 3 slices, 60.89% at 5 slices, and 61.89% at 6-7 slices. There was no significant differences by the number of slices selected. This study demonstrates that ejection fraction obtained from single slice of center of left ventricle may represent a optimum parameter for cardiac function, instead of the value calculated on the variable slices selected.
