Document image layout analysis contains the process to segment document image into detailed regions and the process to classify the segmented regions into text, picture, table or etc. In the region classification process, the size of a region, the density of black pixels, and the complexity of pixel distribution are the bases of region classification. But in case of picture, the ranges of these bases are so wide that it's difficult to decide the classification threshold between picture and others. As a result, the picture has a higher region classification error than others. In this paper, we propose document image layout analysis method which has a better performance for the picture and text region classification than that of previous methods including commercial softwares. In the picture and text region classification, median filter is used in order to reduce the influence of the size of a region, the density of black pixels, and the complexity of pixel distribution. Futhermore the classification error is corrected by the use of region expanding filter and constrained conditions.

Despite the fact that the copyright has grown into a large-scale business, there are many constant problems especially in image copyright. In this study, we propose an automatic object extraction and classification system for the scanned educational book image by combining document image processing and intelligent information technology like deep learning. First, the proposed technology removes noise component and then performs a visual attention assessment-based region separation. Then we carry out grouping operation based on extracted block areas and categorize each block as a picture or a character area. Finally, the caption area is extracted by searching around the classified picture area. As a result of the performance evaluation, it can be seen an average accuracy of 83% in the extraction of the image and caption area. For only image region detection, up-to 97% of accuracy is verified.

This study aims at analyzing educational effects of the horticultural picture books, which are depending on B.S. Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives. After collecting various horticulture-related picture books, this study classified them by the B.S bloom's educational taxonomy. There were objectives of the cognitive domain, objectives of the affective domain, psychomotor domain in plants and gardening activities. And the cognitive domain, affective domain, psychomotor domain subdivided into the sub-region can learn from the horticulture picture books to teach the unique characteristics could be found. To know the teachers' perceptions of the effectiveness of using picture books in the horticulture class, questionnaire were analyzed from the survey. As a result, by Bloom's educational taxonomy area they preferred children's books. Teacher think that fairy tale books promote the interest of the children and have the advantage of fostering creativity. In addition, an easy point to get in school, lack of hours in the effective education to help horticulture that was expected. The cognitions of most effective storytelling method of horticulture picture book was story immersion. And the effective activity after reading picture book was drawing picture. Also, the most effective teaching materials was a real-life picture.

한글은 알파벳 문자처럼 소리를 바탕으로 한 표음문자이지만, 각 글자의 형태는 표의문자인 한자와 유사한 시각적인 효과를 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 자기공명 영상법을 이용하여 한국인이 한글문자와 그림을 인지할 경우 나타나는 신경망적 특성을 알아보았다. 그 결과. 한글과 그림 자극에 대하여 양반구 모두에서 후측두엽 부위의 활성화가 나타났다. 그러나, 전두엽과 측두엽 부분의 활성화는 오직 한글자극의 경우에만 관찰되었다. 좌반구 중전 두엽의 활성화는 음성 및 의미론적 처리와 관련되어 있다고 볼 수 있으며, 우반구 anterior cingulate 활성화는 언어 및 소리의 형성과 관계가 있다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 우반구 medial frontal 영역인 BA 8의 활성화가 관찰되었다 이 영역은 시각적으로 고차적인 비음성적 자극을 통제하거나 그와 유사한 시각공간적인 정보의 분석과 관련이 있다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 한글의 특성적인 형태가 특정 영역을 활성화시킨 것을 시사한다.

In this paper, we describe a system of controlling the pictorial puzzle program using information of hand shape. We extract hand region using skin color information and then principal component analysis uses centroidal profile information which comes blob of 2D appearance for hand shape recognition. This method suit hand shape recognition in real time because it extracts hand region accurately, has little computation quantity, and is less sensitive to lighting change using skin color information in complicated background. Finally, we controlled a pictorial puzzle with using recognized hand shape information. This method has good result when we make an experiment on application of pictorial puzzle. Besides, it can use so many HCI field.

In this paper, we propose a new accurate and robust image mosaic technique of the mural underdrawing taken from the infra-red camera, which is based on multiple image registration and adaptive blending technique. The image mosaicing methods which have been developed so far have the following deficits. It is hard to generate a high resolution image when there are regions that do not have features or intensity gradients, and there is a trade-off in overlapping region size in view of registration and blending. We consider these issues as follows. First, in order to mosaic images with neither noticeable features nor intensity gradients, we use a projected supplementary pattern and pseudo color image for features in the image pieces which are registered. Second, we search the overlapping region size with minimum blending error between two adjacent images and then apply blending technique to minimum error overlapping region. Finally, we could find our proposed method is more effective and efficient for image mosaicing than conventional mosaic techniques and also is more adequate for the application of infra-red mural underdrawing mosaicing. Experimental results show the accuracy and robustness of the algorithm

The purpose of this study was to qualitatively examine the meaning of students' drawings in outdoor classes and modeling-based learning cycles. Ten students were observed in a gifted education center in Seoul. Under the theme of the Hantan River, three outdoor classes and three modeling activities were conducted. Data were collected to document all student activities during field trips and classroom modeling activities using simultaneous video and audio recording and observation notes made by the researcher and students. Please note it is unclear what this citation refers to. If it is the previous sentence it should be placed within that sentence's punctuation. Hatisaru (2020) Ddrawing typess were classified by modifying the representations in a learning context in geological field trips. We used deductive content analysis to describe the drawing characteristics, including students writing. The results suggest that students have symbolic images that consist of geologic concepts, visual images that describe topographical features, and affective images that express students' emotion domains. The characteristics were classified into explanation, generality, elaboration, evidence, coherence, and state-of-mind. The characteristics and drawing types are consecutive in the modeling-based learning cycle and reflect the students' positive attitude and cognitive scientific domain. Drawing is a useful tool for reflecting students' thoughts and opinions in both outdoor class and classroom modeling activities. This study provides implications for emphasizing the importance of drawing activities.
