This study aims at investigating the perceptions of science teachers about the role of visual representations in the teaching of electromagnetism, and finding out how science teachers use visual representations in their teaching of electromagnetism and the difficulties they experience in dealing with those representations. A total of 121 science teachers responded to the online survey. The results showed that most of the teachers agreed to the significance of using visual representations in the classroom but regarded their role as means of simply delivering science knowledge rather than constructing or generating knowledge. For the three visual representations widely used in teaching of electromagnetism in secondary schools (electrostatic induction on electroscope, magnetic field around current carrying wire, structure and principle of electric motor), the teachers preferred teacher-centered use of visual representations rather than student-centered and teacher's construction of representations were the most frequent among four types of use; interpretation, construction, application, and evaluation. The difficulties of teaching with these three visual representations were categorized into several factors; teachers, students, the characteristics of the representations, and lack of resources and classroom environment. Teachers' limited perceptions about the role of visual representations were associated with the ways of using visual representations in their teaching. Implications for the effective use of visual representations for science learning and teaching were discussed.

이 연구의 목적은 시각의 유도운동을 기반으로 하는 새로운 현기증 진단 방법을 제시하는데 있다. 시각의 유도운동은 주위환경이 움직임에 따라 고정된 물체도 움직이는 것처럼 느끼는 현상이다. 실험은 방음실에서 수행되었으며, 전체적인 시스템은 PC, 조이스틱, 프로젝터 그리고 스크린으로 구성되어졌다. 현기증의 크기를 정량적으로 측정하기 위하여 세 가지의 다른 주수온도(1$0^{\circ}C$, 2$0^{\circ}C$,3$0^{\circ}C$)를 사용하는 온도자극법에 의해 현기증이 유도되어졌다. 또한, 색의 변화에 의하여 유발되어지는 COP(center of pressure)의 변동을 찾기 위해 여섯 가지색이 유도운동에 사용되어졌다. 그 결과, 유도운동이 현기증과 높은 연관성이 있다는 것과 색의 변화가 인체의 균형에 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그렇지만, 색 자체의 변화보다는 집중도와 선명도가 뛰어난 색의 조합으로 구성된 유도운동 시스템이 필요하다는 것도 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 시각의 유도운동이 현기증의 정량적인 측정에 유용함을 알 수 있었고 이 연구가 현기증 진단 시스템의 개발에 확장되어 쓰여질 수 있을 것이다.

In scalable video coding, MCTF plays an important role for time-scalability and SNR-scalability. But there is image quality decreasing as MCTF level is increased because time interval of each frame is extended so that is hard to find suitable motion vector. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to prevent image quality from decreasing with unsuitable motion vector during MCTF update process using JND. We adapt JND to find errors within blocks of image and set a threshold which is used to add high frequency components during update process. We can overcome time-gap between frames and achieve better image quality through the proposed algorithm.

시각 장애인들의 시각 정보에 대한 낮은 접근성은 문화, 예술 활동에 큰 제약을 가져다 주고 있다. 실제로 시각 장애인 중 약 절반 이상이 문화, 여가생활에 만족하지 못한다고 답하였고 전시회, 미술품 감상 또는 관람 활동은 약 5%만이[1] 참여하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 시각이라는 감각의 한계를 뛰어넘어 시각 미디어를 즐길 수 있게 하는 서비스를 제작하였고, 이는 크게 웹서비스인 web view editor와 물리적인 촉각 디스플레이로 구성된다. 시각 미디어인 이미지는 8×8로 나눠 각 영역을 OpenCV 라이브러리와 K-means clustering 알고리즘을 이용하여 9 level로 분류시키고, 구분된 level에 맞게 cell의 높낮이 차이를 두기 위하여 Arduino를 통한 회전-선형 변환기를 제작했다. Arduino의 PWM 기능을 이용해 모터의 속도와 방향을 제어하며, 각 모터의 드라이버는 Arduino와 연결되어 있어 모터의 회전을 제어하게 했다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서는 cell의 높낮이 차이를 9 level로 구분하여 시각 정보를 촉각으로 수용할 수 있는 장치를 제작하였고, 이 장치를 통해 기존의 시각 장애인들이 문화 생활을 쉽게 향유하고 이를 바탕으로 창의성과 상상력을 증대시켜 더욱 밀접하게 사회와 연결되고 소통 할 수 있는 기회의 초석이 되기를 기대하는 바이다.

We develop a video processing method that allows the more advanced human perception oriented video coding. The proposed method necessarily reflects all influences by the rate-distortion based optimization and the human visual perception that is affected by the visual saliency, the limited space-time resolution and the regional moving history. For reflecting the human perceptual effects, we devise an online moving pattern classifier using the Hedge algorithm. Then, we embed the existing visual saliency into the proposed moving patterns so as to establish a human visual perception model. In order to realize the proposed human visual perception model, we extend the conventional foveation filtering method. Compared to the conventional foveation filter only smoothing less stimulus video signals, the developed foveation filter can locally smooth and enhance signals according to the human visual perception without causing any artifacts. Due to signal enhancement, the developed foveation filter more efficiently transfers the bandwidth saved at smoothed signals to the enhanced signals. Performance evaluation verifies that the proposed video processing method satisfies the overall video quality, while improving the perceptual quality by 12%~44%.

Based on known physiological and psychophysical results, a neural network model for visual selection, called FeaureGate is proposed. The model consists of a hierarchy of spatial maps. and the flow of information from each level of the hierarchy to the next is controlled by attentional gates. The gates are jointly controlled by a bottom-up system favoring locations with unique features. and a top-down mechanism favoring locations with features designated as target features. The present study focuses on the top-down mechanism of the FeatureGate model that produces results similar to Moran and Desimone's (1985), which many current models have failed to explain, The FeatureGate model allows a consistent interpretation of many different experimental results in visual attention. including parallel feature searches and serial conjunction searches. attentional gradients triggered by cuing, feature-driven spatial selection, split a attention, inhibition of distractor locations, and flanking inhibition. This framework can be extended to produce a model of shape recognition using upper-level units that respond to configurations of features.

This study aims to develop a system that enables users employing PC and VR devices to collaboratively analyze data visualizations in a remote environment. The system provides a task-oriented node-link control interface to aid users in understanding the visualization analysis process and effectively distributing roles. Additionally, it offers a network environment where multiple users can collaborate and receive feedback on visualization analysis even when physically separated. To elucidate the collaborative analysis method implemented in the system, we designed a scenario. Furthermore, we conducted a pilot experiment to evaluate the system's usability with participants majoring in related fields. The experimental results confirmed that users can freely analyze data through easily comprehensible interface manipulations in an extended reality space, and efficiently conduct real-time collaborative analysis in a remote environment.

The cultural production of meanings is becoming more and laden with the intricacies of signs and symbols in our times. The idea of 'character' is important as an intermediation for information and an essential characteristic of "the object" experienced through the sence of sight. Character is symbolicin its form but also in its iconic markings. Motion Picture Animation makes Character not just an expression of an image but visual communication that expands the action of meaning piled up, sign upon sign. The analysis of 'character' suggests that motion picture animated characters could play an important role as a cultural mode leading to new styles not merely as an aesthetic mechanism. The study there with analyzed animated character systematically to discem where the sign phenomena shows up in social conventions under the semiotic rigor of Peirce's concepts of icon, index, and symbol.
