360 영상을 이용한 실감형 미디어에 대한 관심이 날로 높아지고 있지만 높은 대역폭 요구사항으로 인해 원활히 보급되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 360 영상을 타일 분할 기법을 적용한 뒤 각 영역의 중요도에 따라 독립적으로 품질을 조절하여 서비스하는 타일 기반 방법이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 그러나 사용자 시점에서 타일 경계에 있는 영상 지점을 바라볼 경우 다양한 품질의 영역이 부분적으로 존재하여 사용자 경험 평가가 어려운 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 360 영상을 비균등 품질의 타일들로 구성한 후 시선 위치 데이터를 통해 사용자 시점의 영상을 렌더링하는 과정에 대해 설명한다. 또한 다양한 품질의 영역으로 존재할 수 있는 사용자 시점의 영상의 두드러지는 영역에 대해 가중치를 적용하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법을 통하여 사용자 경험을 크게 해치지 않으면서 동시에 대역폭을 낮출 수 있는 360 영상 타일의 최적 구성을 찾기 위한 방향을 제시한다.

Gaze estimation, which automatically recognizes where a user is currently staring, and object detection based on estimated gaze point, can be a more accurate and efficient way to understand human visual behavior. in this paper, we propose a method to detect the objects within the region of interest around the gaze point. Specifically, after estimating the 3D gaze point, a region of interest based on the estimated gaze point is created to ensure that object detection occurs only within the region of interest. In our experiments, we compared the performance of general object detection, and the proposed object detection based on region of interest, and found that the processing time per frame was 1.4ms and 1.1ms, respectively, indicating that the proposed method was faster in terms of processing speed.

Time series data is a sequence of data points, measured typically at successive, spaced at time intervals. Many devices for an efficient exploration is developed according as the items of time series data increase. Among these devices, there is a Timebox widget as a representative device of dynamic query for interactive data exploration. Timeboxes are rectangular query region of interest. The users can draw the region of interest using simple mouse manipulation and the query result sets is displayed. But there is a limitation to represent the concrete query region and Timeboxes visualize the query region inconsistent with the mental model of users. To resolve these problems, we propose a new device called DQB(Dynamic Query Band). DQB is a qeury region consisting of user defined polyline with a thickness on time series data. This device is possible to concretely specify the query region. Also, it provides a simple and convenient interface and a good conceptual model.

In this paper, we propose the new method that offer detailed-information through relax the system memory limitation about 3D model to user. That method based on making LOD(Level of Detail) model from huge 3D data of structure cultural assets. In our method as transformed AOSP algorithm, first of all it create the hierarchical structure space about 3D data, and create the LOD model by surface simplification. Then it extract the ROI(Region of Interest) of user in simplified LOD model, and then do rendering by original model and same surface detailed-information after process the local detailed in extracted region. To evaluate the proposed method, we have some experiment by using the precise 3D scan data of structure cultural assets. Our method can offer the detailed-information same as exist method, and moreover 45% reduced consumption of memory experimentally by forming mesh structure same as ROI of simplified LOD model. So we can check the huge structure cultural assets particularly in general computer environment.

In this paper, we propose a semi-automatic segmentation method which can be used to generate video object plane (VOP) for object based coding scheme and multimedia authoring environment. Semi-automatic segmentation can be considered as a user-assisted segmentation technique. A user can initially mark objects of interest around the object boundaries and then the selected objects are continuously separated from the un selected areas through time evolution in the image sequences. The proposed segmentation method consists of two processing steps: partially manual intra-frame segmentation and fully automatic inter-frame segmentation. The intra-frame segmentation incorporates user-assistance to define the meaningful complete visual object of interest to be segmentation and decides precise object boundary. The inter-frame segmentation involves boundary and region tracking to obtain temporal coherence of moving object based on the object boundary information of previous frame. The proposed method shows stable and efficient results that could be suitable for many digital video applications such as multimedia contents authoring, content based coding and indexing. Based on this result, we have developed objects based video editing system with several convenient editing functions.

This paper presents a semantic object extraction method using user's stroke input, color, and depth information. It is supposed that a semantically meaningful object is surrounded with a few strokes from a user, and has similar depths all over the object. In the proposed method, deciding the region of interest (ROI) is based on the stroke input, and the semantically meaningful object is extracted by using color and depth information. Specifically, the proposed method consists of two steps. The first step is over-segmentation inside the ROI using color and depth information. The second step is semantically meaningful object extraction where over-segmented regions are classified into the object region and the background region according to the depth of each region. In the over-segmentation step, we propose a new marker extraction method where there are two propositions, i.e. an adaptive thresholding scheme to maximize the number of the segmented regions and an adaptive weighting scheme for color and depth components in computation of the morphological gradients that is required in the marker extraction. In the semantically meaningful object extraction, we classify over-segmented regions into the object region and the background region in order of the boundary regions to the inner regions, the average depth of each region being compared to the average depth of all regions classified into the object region. In experimental results, we demonstrate that the proposed method yields reasonable object extraction results.

In this paper, we propose layout based multimodal contents authoring tool for Digilog Book. In authoring step, users create a virtual area using mouse or pen-type device and select property of the area repetitively. After finishing authoring step, system recognizes printed page number and generate page layout including areas and property information. Page layout is represented as a scene graph and stored as XML format. Digilog Book viewer loads stored page layout and analyze properties then augment virtual contents or execute functions based on area. Users can author visual and auditory contents easily by using hybrid interface. In AR environment, system provides area templates in order to help creating area. In addition, proposed authoring tool separates page recognition module from page tracking module. So, it is possible to author many pages using only single marker. As a result of experiment, we showed proposed authoring tool has reasonable performance time in AR environment. We expect that proposed authoring tool would be applicable to many fields such as education and publication.

Data cube, which is multi-dimensional data model, have been successfully applied in many cases of multi-dimensional data analysis, and is still being researched to be applied in data stream analysis. Data stream is being generated in real-time, incessant, immense, and volatile manner. The distribution characteristics of data arc changing rapidly due to those characteristics, so the primary rule of handling data stream is to check once and dispose it. For those characteristics, users are more interested in high support attribute values observed rather than the entire attribute values over data streams. This paper propose dynamic data cube for applying data cube to data stream environment. Dynamic data cube specify user's interested area by the support ratio of attribute value, and dynamically manage the attribute values by grouping each other. By doing this it reduce the memory usage and process time. And it can efficiently shows or emphasize user's interested area by increasing the granularity for attributes that have higher support. We perform experiments to verify how efficiently dynamic data cube works in limited memory usage.

검색엔진을 사용해 질의를 입력 후 사용자가 원하는 정보를 얻을 때까지의 검색 결과정보의 탐색 범위에 대해 설문한 연구 보고서에 검색 결과정보의 첫 페이지만 보는 사용자가 설문인원의 41%를 차지했고, 상위 3페이지만 사용하는 사용자는 88%에 달한다고 하였다. 따라서 검색결과의 상위순위는 사용자의 정보 존재여부를 판단하는 중요한 척도가 된다. 또한 인터넷의 방대한 정보로 인해 정보 홍수에 빠진 사람들은 정보에 대한 까다로운 요구를 하고 있다. 이를 테면 개인화 또는 맞춤화된 정보를 제공 받기를 원하고 있다. 정보검색시 대다수의 사용자들은 질의의 길이를 2단어 이하의 키워드를 사용하여 질의가 특정한 토픽을 지향하도록 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 데이터 마이닝의 연관규칙을 적용 사용자 프로파일 DB내 질의에 대한 사용자 질의패턴을 분석하여 '분석 Agent' 통한 연관 질의 리스트를 생성하고 '추천 Agent'는 사용자들의 취향변화 즉 시간에 따라 변하는 관심영역 또는 사용자 질의 변화에 대해서 날짜별 가중치를 부여하여 사용자와 상호교류를 통해 사용자에게 맞춤형 질의를 추천하는 방안을 제시하고자 한다.
