In this paper, we propose a pen gesture recognition system for user interface in multimedia terminal which requires fast processing time and high recognition rate. It is realtime and interaction system between graphic and text module. Text editing in recognition system is performed by pen gesture in graphic module or direct editing in text module, and has all 14 editing functions. The pen gesture recognition is performed by searching classification features that extracted from input strokes at pen gesture model. The pen gesture model has been constructed by classification features, ie, cross number, direction change, direction code number, position relation, distance ratio information about defined 15 types. The proposed recognition system has obtained 98% correct recognition rate and 30msec average processing time in a recognition experiment.

Text-based image retrieval is not only cumbersome as it requires the manual input of keywords by the user, but is also limited in the semantic approach of keywords. However, content-based image retrieval enables visual processing by a computer to solve the problems of text retrieval more fundamentally. Vision applications such as extraction and mapping of image characteristics, require the processing of a large amount of data in a mobile environment, rendering efficient power consumption difficult. Hence, an effective image retrieval method on mobile platforms is proposed herein. To provide the visual meaning of keywords to be inserted into images, the efficiency of image retrieval is improved by extracting keywords of exchangeable image file format metadata from images retrieved through a content-based similar image retrieval method and then adding automatic keywords to images captured on mobile devices. Additionally, users can manually add or modify keywords to the image metadata.

This study aims to extract key topics through text mining of incident records (incident history, post-incident measures, preventive measures) from construction safety accident case data available on the public data portal. It also seeks to provide fundamental insights contributing to the establishment of manuals for disaster prevention by identifying correlations between these topics. After pre-processing the input data, we used the LDA-based topic modeling technique to derive the main topics. Consequently, we obtained five topics related to incident history, and four topics each related to post-incident measures and preventive measures. Although no dominant patterns emerged from the topic pattern analysis, the study holds significance as it provides quantitative information on the follow-up actions related to the incident history, thereby suggesting practical implications for the establishment of a preventive decision-making system through the linkage between accident history and subsequent measures for reccurrence prevention.

Recently, unstructured random data such as website logs, texts and tables etc, have been flooding in the internet. Among these unstructured data there are potentially very useful data such as bulletin boards and e-mails that are used for customer services and the output from search engines. Various text mining tools have been introduced to deal with those data. But most of them lack accuracy compared to traditional data mining tools that deal with structured data. Hence, it has been sought to find a way to apply data mining techniques to these text data. In this paper, we propose a text mining system which can incooperate existing data mining methods. We use text mining as a preprocessing tool to generate formatted data to be used as input to the data mining system. The output of the data mining system is used as feedback data to the text mining to guide further categorization. This feedback cycle can enhance the performance of the text mining in terms of accuracy. We apply this method to categorize web sites containing adult contents as well as illegal contents. The result shows improvements in categorization performance for previously ambiguous data.

The EGI system is a new communication method in limelight for helping disabled users to input and handle information on the computer more easily. However, due to the EGI system's "JEM(Jittery Eye Movements)" generation, it actually increases heavy psychological and physiological stresses for the user to input or perceive the target information on a machine. This study illustrates how to resolve this "JEM" issue and suggests a method that is easy and simple to be controled by anyone. A demo tool was built and tested to find and prove the reasons for "JEM" This test shows that that the case with snap up is less stressful than without to input text as a final result of the test evaluation in both psychological snap up and physiological brain wave test. Postnatal or naturally acquired, it is found that the disabled can have opportunities for smoother communication, and a possible efficient system development for better communication.

Objective: The aim of this study is to predict Korean text entry on touchscreens using ACT-R cognitive architecture. Background: Touchscreen application in devices such as satellite navigation devices, PDAs, mobile phones, etc. has been increasing, and the market size is expanding. Accordingly, there is an increasing interest to develop and evaluate the interface to enhance the user experience and increase satisfaction in the touchscreen environment. Method: In this study, Korean text entry performance in the touchscreen environment was analyzed using ACT-R. The ACT-R model considering the characteristics of the Korean language which is composed of vowels and consonants was established. Further, this study analyzed if the prediction of Korean text entry is possible through the ACT-R cognitive model. Results: In the analysis results, no significant difference on performance time between model prediction and empirical data was found. Conclusion: The proposed model can predict the accurate physical movement time as well as cognitive processing time. Application: This study is useful in conducting model-based evaluation on the text entry interface of the touchscreen and enabled quantitative and effective evaluation on the diverse types of Korean text input interfaces through the cognitive models.

This paper proposes a new approach to eliminate the reflectance component for the detection of text in color images. Color images, printed by color printing technology, normally have an illumination component as well as a reflectance component. It is well known that a reflectance component usually obstructs the task of detecting and recognizing objects like texts in the scene, since it blurs out an overall image. We have developed an approach that efficiently removes reflectance components while preserving illumination components. We decided whether an input image hits Normal or Polarized for determining the light environment, using the histogram which consisted of a red component. We were able to go ahead through the ability to extract by reducing the blur phenomenon of text by light because reflection component by an illumination change and removed it and extracted text. The experimental results have shown a superior performance even when an image has a complex background. Text detection and recognition performance is influenced by changing the illumination condition. Our method is robust to the images with different illumination conditions.

We present a hybrid approach of texture-based method and connected component (CC)-based method for text extraction in complex images. Two primary methods, which are mainly utilized in this area, are sequentially merged for compensating for their weak points. An automatically constructed MLP-based texture classifier can increase recall rates for complex images with small amount of user intervention and without explicit feature extraction. CC-based filtering based on the shape information using NMF enhances the precision rate without affecting overall performance. As a result, a combination of texture and CC-based methods leads to not only robust but also efficient text extraction. We also enhance the processing speed by adopting appropriate region marking methods for each input image category.

This study explores the effects of an video-recording English speaking task model on learners. The learning model, a form of mobile learning, was developed to facilitate the learners' output practice applying advantages of a smartphone and Text-to Speech. The survey results shows the positive effects of the speaking task on the domain of pronunciation, speaking, listening, writing in terms of students' confidence, as well as general English ability. The study further examines the possibilities and limitations of the speaking task in assisting Korean learners improve their speaking ability, who do not have sufficient exposure to English input or output practice due to the situational limitations where English is learned as a foreign language.
