Schema integration is one of the most difficult issues in the heterogeneous and distributed geographic database systems (GDSs). As the use of spatial information in various application areas becomes increasingly popular, the integration of geographic information has become a crucial task for decision makers. Most existing schema integration techniques described in the database literature, however, do not address the problems of managing heterogeneities among complex objects that contain visual data and/or spatial and temporal information. The difficulties arise not only from the semantic conflicts, but also from the different representations of spatial models. Consequently, it is much more complex to achieve interoperability in the area of geographic databases. This research attempts to provide a solution to such problems. The research reported in this paper describes a schema integration methodology and a prototype toolkit developed to assist in schema integration activities for GDSs.

Usually genetic algorithms are used to design optimal system. However the performance of the algorithm is determined by the fitness function and the system environment. It is expected that a co-evolutionary algorithm, two populations are constantly interact and co-evolve, is one of the solution to overcome these problems. In this paper we propose three types of co-evolutionary algorithm to solve GA-Hard problem. The first model is a competitive co-evolutionary algorithm that solution and environment are competitively co-evolve. This model can prevent the solution from falling in local optima because the environment are also evolve according to the evolution of the solution. The second algorithm is schema co-evolutionary algorithm that has host population and parasite (schema) population. Schema population supply good schema to host population in this algorithm. The third is game model-based co-evolutionary algorithm that two populations are co-evolve through game. Each algorithm is applied to visual servoing, robot navigation, and multi-objective optimization problem to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

The target of design is a harmony between Beauty and Usefulness. Design is a result from representation of visual language by designer's creative thinking system. also, As an ill-defined problem cannot be described completely. and subjectively interpret depend on the situation, it is very difficult to present a theoretical standard. There have been many Design Sciences researches in recent years. such as Rule Based Design, Parametric Design, Replacement Design, Analogy Design, Metaphor Design, Genetic Algorithm. but Objective research is still unsatisfactory condition to investigate true nature about Design. At this point, It is very important to formulating about meaning of Design Language and Thinking. This study will define about that, and based on this definition, Lay out a logical basis for Treatment design variable and materialization of process by "Elements", "Relationship", "Schema". ultimately it look forward to provide a framework and minimize the complexity about Design Thinking.

This paper presents an automated computer vision-based system to update BIM data by leveraging multi-modal visual data collected from existing buildings under inspection. Currently, visual inspections are conducted for building envelopes or mechanical systems, and auditors analyze energy-related contextual information to examine if their performance is maintained as expected by the design. By translating 3D surface thermal profiles into energy performance metrics such as actual R-values at point-level and by mapping such properties to the associated BIM elements using XML Document Object Model (DOM), the proposed method shortens the energy performance modeling gap between the architectural information in the as-designed BIM and the as-is building condition, which improve the reliability of building energy analysis. Several case studies were conducted to experimentally evaluate their impact on BIM-based energy analysis to calculate energy load. The experimental results on existing buildings show that (1) the point-level thermography-based thermal resistance measurement can be automatically matched with the associated BIM elements; and (2) their corresponding thermal properties are automatically updated in gbXML schema. This paper provides practitioners with insight to uncover the fundamentals of how multi-modal visual data can be used to improve the accuracy of building energy modeling for retrofit analysis. Open research challenges and lessons learned from real-world case studies are discussed in detail.

Viewers remember seeing more of the scene than was present in the physical input: an illusion known as boundary extension. This study examined the aspects of the distortion by presenting 69 subjects with wide-angle views of four scenes. Results of recognition and reproduction test showed that the boundary extension is not a unidirectional phenomenon. On the contrary, boundary restriction and foreground extension were observed with extreme wide-angle views of scenes. Results support the hypothesis that boundary restriction and foreground extension were mediated by the activation of a memory schema during picture perception.

Video information is an important component of multimedia system such as Digital Library. World-Wide Web(WWW) and Video-On-Demand(VOD) service system. It can support various types of information because of including audio-visual, spatial-temporal and semantics information. In addition, it requires the ability of retrieving the specific scene of video instead of entire retrieval of video document. Therefore, so as to support a variety of retrieval, this paper models metadata using video document structure information that consists of hierarchical structure, and designs database schema that can manipulate video document.

This paper handles the design and implementation of the system for transforming the XML document bated on XML Schema being different in syntax but similar in logic, with using structured differences analysis. In the system, the merge data is generated from the source and destination documents by utilizing data registry and structured differences analysis, and then XML document is generated from the generated merge data. The XML document transformation system is designed that transformation process to the present application system from the different application system gains advantage in the aspect of time, cost, and reliability. The implementation environment of the system is that it is run on IBM compatible PC and it is developed using the software of visual basic 6.0 with the Platform of Windows 2000.

Two experiments examined the visual memory distortion by presenting 170 subjects with wide-angle views of four scenes on monitor screen. Retention interval of 0, 1 and 48 hours tested in reproduction and recognition experiment. The results of reproduction showed that the subjects tend to magnify the foreground and background of scenes compared to the real input (scene) for all retention intervals. The viewers recognized mure wide-angle views for the same scenes at the retention interval of 1 and 48 hours. These results demonstrated boundary extension is not a robust and unidirectional phenomenon but boundary contraction can be occurred with wide-angle views. The results also suggested that boundary contraction is the product of the activation of a memory schema hypothesis: In memory the representation moves toward a prototypical view and prototypical object size.

Visual Object Query language(VOQL) proposed recently is a visual object-oriented database query language which can effectively represent queries on complex structured data, since schema information is visually included in query expressions. VOQL, which is a graph-based query language with inductively defined semantics, can concisely represent various text-based path expressions by graph, and clearly convey the semantics of complex path expressions. however, the existing VOQL assumes that all the attributes are multi-valued, and cannot visualize the concept of binding of object variables. therefore, VPAL query expressions are not intuitive, so that it is difficult to extend the existing VOQL theoretically. In this paper, we propose VOQL that improved on these problems. The improved VOQL visualizes the result of a single-valued attribute and that of a multi-valued attribute as a visual element and a subblob, respectively, and specifies the binding of object variables by introducing visual variables, so that the improved VOQL intuitively and clearly represents the semantics of queries.
