While virtual field trips (VFT) are considered as an attractive alternative to traditional field experience, it is unclear how VFT are best used in Earth Science curriculum. In this study, we investigated the effects of flash panorama-based VFT on students' spatial visualization ability and their understanding of volcanic concept in high school Earth Science class. To investigate the effects of instructional treatment, we conducted pre and post-test on participants' spatial visualization ability and their understanding of volcanic concept, and analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and linear regression. Findings are as follows: First, the change in students' spatial visualization ability in experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group, especially in spatial manipulation category. Second, the change in students' understanding of volcanic concept in experimental group was higher than that of control group in most of the categories, but it is statistically not significant. Last, the change in correlation between spatial visualization ability and understanding of volcanic concept in experimental group was remarkably high compared to control group.

In school science class, actual geological field trips tend to be restricted due to a number of problems including travel distance, cost, safety, and so on. Therefore, alternative way should be sought to provide students with the benefits of actual field trip. The purpose of this study is to develop web-based virtual field trip (VFT) about Jeju island in Korea by using flash panorama, and to explore a variety of ways to utilize the VFT. The characteristics of Jeju VFT are as follows: it provides virtual space for secondary school students to learn about volcanic topography and geology; students can access contents in a non-sequential order by virtue of web-based system, and students can control learning pace according to their ability; it is possible to investigate the same field site repeatedly, not limited by time and space; it presents differentiated worksheets for different school grade; it provides diverse complementary web contents, e. g., closeup features, thin sections, inquiry questions, and explanations of outcrops. We proposed several ways with instructional models to utilize Jeju VFT in science class and extra-school curricular as well.

Sports scene is characterized by large amount of global motion due to pan and zoom of camera motion, and includes many small objects moving independently. Some short period of sports games is thrilling to televiewers, and important to producers. At the same time that kinds of scenes exhibit exceptionally dynamic motions and it is very difficult to analyze the motions with conventional algorithms. In this thesis, several algorithms are proposed for global motion analysis on these dynamic scenes. It is shown that proposed algorithms worked well for motion compensation and panorama synthesis. When cascading the inter frame motions, accumulated errors are unavoidable. In order to minimize these errors, interpolation method of motion vectors is introduced. Affined transform or perspective projection transform is regarded as a square matrix, which can be factorized into small amount of motion vectors. To solve factorization problem, we preposed the adaptation of Newton Raphson method into vector and matrix form, which is also computationally efficient. Combining multi frame motion estimation and the corresponding interpolation in hierarchical manner enhancement algorithm of motion parameters is proposed, which is suitable for motion compensation and panorama synthesis. The proposed algorithms are suitable for special effect rendering for broadcast system, video indexing, tracking in complex scenes, and other fields requiring global motion estimation.

We formulate the problem and propose a new heuristic method for determining the number of pallets of each type of component parts produced in FMS. The proposed method uses the Schweitzer's mean value analysis algorithm of which robustness and fitness for this problem is shown through simulation experiments. This method finds a better solution more efficiently than Solot's PANORAMA, which is well-known method to determine the number of pallets of FMS.

We have developed mathematically precise image-processing algorithms for extracting rectilinear images from fisheye images as well as digital pan/tilt/zoom technology. Using this technology, vertical lines always appear as vertical lines in the panned and/or tilted images. Furthermore, polygonal panoramic images composed of multiple rectilinear images have been obtained using the developed digital pan/tilt technology.

외국에서는 수려하고 아름다운 '경치' 또는 '경관(landscape)'을 가진 장소(view point, scenic view, panorama ：site)와 도로(scenic 4.ive, scenic byway)를 지정하여 운영하고 있다. 반면에 우리나라에서는 경관이 수려한 장소 및 구간을 관광명소로 발굴하여 관광자원으로 활용하는 사례는 거의 얼다. 전라남도 또한 수려한 해상과 내륙의 경관을 보유하고 있지만, 경관을 관광자원으로 활용하지 못하고 있다. (중략)

파노라마 영상은 카메라의 동작을 고려하여 시공간적으로 영상을 정렬한 영상으로서 효과적으로 비디오 데이터를 표현할 수 있는 방법이다. 그러나 기존의 파노라마 영상 구성 기법들은 영상을 정렬할 때 오버랩(overlap)되는 화소값들을 단순히 미디언 필터링하기 때문에 시간의 경과에 따른 밝기값의 동적인 변화를 수용하지 못한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해 시간적으로 증가하는 가중치를 사용하여 영상을 통합함으로써 최근의 영상 정보를 충분히 반영하는 파노라마 영상 구성 방법을 제안한다.

가상현실 기술에는 공간상에 가상현실을 구현하기 위한 파노라마 기술과 사물의 가상현실을 구현하기 위한 오브젝트 기술 두 부분으로 나누어진다. 현재까지의 기술 중 오브젝트 가상현실에 대하여서는 관찰자가 오브젝트론 상, 하, 좌, 우로 회전, 이동시키면서 확대, 축소 가능한 상태로 볼 수 있는 입체적인 접근 방법을 제공하지만, 파노라마 가상현실의 표현에 있어서는 제작 방식의 제한된 상황으로 천장과 바닥의 표현이 왜곡되거나 표현되지 못하는 단점을 보이고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 파노라마의 기본적 개념과 파노라마 가상현실 제작과정을 통하여 상하 표현의 제한되는 단점을 파악하고, 상하의 표현을 근본적으로 가능하게 하는 정육면체 타입의 새로운 데이터 형식을 제안하여 파노라마 가상현실 공간을 구성하도록 한다.
