Objectives: The aims of this study are to design a optimized mechanical structure of digital tongue imaging system (DTIS) equipped with LEDs in aspects of object distance and camera angle of coverage. Methods and Results: We tried to find optimized object distance while recording a rectangular object of common tongue size. In case object distance is 22 cm or less, edge of the rectangle was not taken beyond the shooting range. In contrast, if object distance is 40 cm or more, the rectangle image was too small. Therefore when considering the variation of subjects, we selected distance of 35-40 cm as appropriate object distance for the DTIS. We also tried to find optimized angle between camera view axis and horizontal line. We photographed from the side of the face of 7 adults with exposed tongue. We drew an exposed tongue lines to connect the tongue tip points and the tongue root points by using the photos acquired from the side faces. And then we calculated the tongue exposure angles between the vertical line and the exposed tongue lines. Mean tongue exposure angle was $28.3^{\circ}$ when tongue was lightly exposed and $13.3^{\circ}$ when maximally. So we determined $73^{\circ}$ as appropriate slope angle of part in contact with face of the DTIS and by considering that the standard variation was great, we designed control gears to adjust the slope of the camera view axis and to regulate the object distance. Conclusions: We designed a optimized mechanical structure in object distance and slope angle of part in contact with face of the DTIS.

Fast development of network technology and digitalization of various kinds of information are accelerating the convergence of between them. Accordingly, an environment for integrated service is needed, where users can be provided with various kinds of information such as voice, video, and text, using even different kinds of devices in heterogeneous networks for communication and broadcasting. In general, enablers integrate several functions to provide with various services in application layer based on IMS in BcN including even different kinds of networks. But in order to receiving convergence services, we must reason the environment of the user through the profiles of the networks and the devices and provide a suitable service to the user. In this paper, we will propose an efficient architecture and functions of a context-aware module which decides the appropriate services based on the profiles in the IMS enabler and its convergence service environments.

Traditional watermarking technologies are symmetric method which embedding and detection keys are same. Although the symmetric watermarking method is easy to detect the watermark, has method has weakness against to malicious attacks to remove or modify the watermark information when the symmetric key is disclosure. Recently, the asymmetric watermarking method that has different keys to embed and detect is watched several researchers as a next generation watermarking technology. In this paper, we have expanded search space of secret key using the solution set of linear simultaneous equations. Secret key is generated by secure linear transformation method to prevent of guessing secret key from public key, and the correlation value between secret key and public key is high. At the results, the multi bits information can be embedded and high correlation value was detected after JPEG compression.

With rapid development in ultra fast communication and digital multimedia, the realistic broadcasting technology, that can stimulate five human senses beyond the conventional audio-visual service is emerging as a new generation broadcasting technology. In this paper, we introduce a haptic broadcasting system and related core system and component techniques by which we can 'touch and feel' objects in an audio-visual scene. The system is composed of haptic media acquisition and creation, contents authoring, in the haptic broadcasting, the haptic media can be 3-D geometry, dynamic properties, haptic surface properties, movement, tactile information to enable active touch and manipulation and passive movement following and tactile effects. In the proposed system, active haptic exploration and manipulation of a 3-D mesh, active haptic exploration of depth video, passive kinesthetic interaction, and passive tactile interaction can be provided as potential haptic interaction scenarios and a home shopping, a movie with tactile effects, and conducting education scenarios are produced to show the feasibility of the proposed system.

With the rapid development of the VR industry, many VR contents are produced and circulated, and the need for copyright protection is increasing. In this paper, we propose a method of embedding and extracting watermarks in consideration of VR production process. In embedding, SIFT is performed by selecting the region where distortion is minimized in VR production, and transformed into frequency domain using DWT and embedded into the QIM method. In extracting process, in order to correct the distortion in the projection process, the top and bottom regions are changed to different projection methods and some middle regions are rotated using 3DoF to extract the watermark. After this processing, extracted watermark has higher accuracy than the conventional watermark method, and the validity of the proposed watermark is shown by showing that the accuracy is maintained even in various attacks.

While the Internet develops rapidly, a huge amount of image data collected from smart phones, digital cameras and black boxes are being shared through social media sites. Generally, social images are handled by tagging them with information. Due to the ease of sharing multimedia and the explosive increase in the amount of tag information, it may be considered too much hassle by some users to put the tags on images. Image retrieval is likely to be less accurate when tags are absent or mislabeled. In this paper, we suggest a method of extracting tags from social images by using image content. In this method, CNN(Convolutional Neural Network) is trained using ImageNet images with labels in the training set, and it extracts labels from instagram images. We use the extracted labels for automatic image tagging. The experimental results show that the accuracy is higher than that of instagram retrievals.

We studied the spatial filtering characteristics of a multi-phase hologram optical low-pass filter(HOLF). Using the Monte-Carlo based hologram generation program, we designed holograms whose diffraction patterns are circular shaped 21 beams and calculated the diffraction efficiencies and MTFs. 4-phase HOLF have the same diffraction efficiency as that of 2-phase HOLF. The MTF graphs of the two are also nearly alike. But 8-phase HOLF shows higher efficiency than those previously discussed and has larger MTF values in the low frequency region. 16-phase HOLF has just a little better characteristics than 8-phase. Considering the errors which can arise in the process of making holograms, 8-phase HOLF fits the goal of improving the resolution of spatial filter. We also fabricated 8-phase HOLF and .measured MTF The experimental results agree well with the theoretical expectations.

On live performance such as play and musical, various stage effects are utilized to attract a diverse audience. These stage effects include traditional direction techniques, striking display effects and all kinds of ways of being immersed in the scene. In this paper, we propose a novel digital visual effects(digilog) for controlling the surface texture of objects based on spatial augmented reality. For this purpose, we present a method of neutralizing the appearance of an arbitrary object using a projector-camera system. To make the object appear as if it is a transparent object by projecting a carefully determined compensation image onto the surface of objects, we use the homography method for a simple and effective off-line projector-camera calibration. The successful uses of the basic algorithm of Smart Projector for measuring radiometric parameters led us believe that this method may be used for temporal variation of plays and musicals.

The wireless sensor network is one of the most practical and cost-effective solutions for monitoring systems covering wild and wide area such as wildfire monitoring. However, the RF distance between sensor nodes is very short due to the need of low power consumption of the sensor node, so the number of sensor nodes to be deployed in the target area is more than tens of thousands. In this paper, we design and analyze the deployment issues as well as re-deployment problem occurred when the battery is exhausted. We also propose the needs and solutions for coverage problem in dynamic deployment. By the experimental evaluations, we analyze the packet success ratio between sensor nodes under various environments such as obstacles and variable distances.
