In video surveillance and monitoring (VSAM), extracting foreground by detecting moving regions is the most fundamental step. The foreground extracted, however, includes not only objects in motion but also their shadows, which may cause errors in following video image processing steps. To remove the shadows, this paper presents a new technique to determine shadow pixels in the foreground image of a VSAM camera system. The proposed technique utilizes a fact that the effect of shadowing to each pixel is different defending on its brightness in a background image when determining shadow pixels unlike existing techniques where unified decision criteria are used to all pixels. Such an approach can easily accommodate local features in an image and hold consistent Performance even in changing environment. In real experiments, the proposed technique showed better results compared with an existing technique.

This study focuses on the characteristic of socio-psychological gender of a consumer except a biological gender. Socio-psychological gender is the self-image of a consumer which is related to the gender role. The goal of this study is, first, to examine if socio-psychological gender has more effect on the purchase intention than biological gender. Second, by classifying a group with femininity among socio-psychological gender, it is to examine what kinds of shopping value it aims at. Finally, it is to examine the difference between men and women from the purchase intention according to the circumstances. The result of this study is summarized as follows. First, a consumer can have both characteristics of biological gender and socio-psychological gender. There are masculinity, femininity, bisexuality, and undifferentiated type for the classification of socio-psychological gender. This study shows that there is relatively much bisexuality which has masculinity and femininity at the same time. The outcome showed that the purchase intention was higher for the product which corresponds to socio-psychological gender of a consumer than biological gender. Second, it indicated that a group with femininity pursued pleasurable shopping as compared to a group with masculinity. By contrast, it showed that a group with masculinity aimed at practical shopping more greatly. Finally, it showed that while women are less sensitive to the purchase intention at the male-dominated circumstances, men's purchase intention get lower at the female-dominated circumstances.

In this paper, we propose an automatic displacement system for testing stability of structure. Photogrammetry is a method which can measure accurate 3D data from 2D images taken from different locations and which is suitable for analyzing and measuring the displacement of structure. This paper consists of camera calibration, feature extraction using coded target & retro-reflective circle, 3D reconstruction and analyzing accuracy. Multi-view camera which is used for measuring displacement of structure is placed with different location respectively. Camera calibration calculates trifocal tensor from corresponding points in images, from which Euclidean camera is calculated. Especially, in a step of feature extraction, we utilize sub-pixel method and pattern recognition in order to measure the accurate 3D locations. Scale bar is used as reference to measure. the accurate value of world coordinate..

This paper proposes a detection method for irregularity of ionospheric delay in network RTK (Real Time Kinematic) Environment. The linearity of network RTK correction provided to user can't be assured when a characteristic of temporal-spatial of ionospheric delay is rapidly changed due to geomagnetic storm or solar flare. Therefore, incorrect ambiguity can be resolved and positioning error can be increased. A detection method for irregularity of ionospheric delay is needed to provide reliable correction. In this paper, index to detect irregularity of ionospheric delay is calculated from dispersive corrections and occurrence of irregularity is judged by comparing index and thresholds.

A lumbar juxtafacet cyst is a rare disease that causes low back pain, radiculopathy and neurological claudication by compressing the nerve roots. A 34-year-old male complained of severe low back pain and radicular pain in the right lower extremity. Magnetic resonance images revealed a cyst at the lateral recess of the spinal canal between the L3-4 disc and posterior facet joint that extended to the L4 body level. Under the guidance of an image intensifier, needle aspiration of the cyst was performed, which extracted 1.5 ml of serous, yellowish colored fluid. After the aspiration, the symptoms subsided dramatically. The follow-up magnetic resonance images showed no recurrence of the cyst. To the best of the author's knowledge, there are no reports of lumbar juxtafacet cyst treated with needle aspiration in Korea. This case is reported with a review of the relevant literature.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the effects of the degree self-monitoring, perceived risk and the types of advertising in cosmetic purchase behavior. The data were obtained with an experimental design which was 2${\times}$(2${\times}$2) mixed factorial design. The subjects were classified 280 pre-test subjects into 70 high level of self-monitoring subjects and 70 low level of self-monitoring subjects. The data were analysed with ANOVA, using the SAS program. The result of this study can be summarized as follows ; In experimental I, the effect on the consumer preference was the significant 2-way interaction effects between the degree of the self-monitoring and appeal types of advertising as well as between the types of cosmetic products depending on perceived risk and appeal types of advertising. In experimental II, the effect on the consumer purchase intention was the significant 2-way interaction effects between the degree of the self-monitoring and appeal types of advertising as well as between the types of cosmetic products depending on perceived risk and appeal types of advertising.

신용평가제도는 오늘날 그 영향력이 강력해져 사실상 세계자본시장의 문지기역할을 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같이 신용평가기관의 중요성과 영향력의 증대와 더불어 이들 평가기관의 활동에 대한 비판과 감시가 커지고 있는 이때에 아직 선진수준에 미치지 못하는 국내신용평가기관들의 현황과 평가체계를 살펴보고 선진국의 신용평가기관들과 비교해 봄으로써 앞으로 나아갈 방향을 모색해보고자 하였다. 국내 신용평가기관들의 현황을 살펴본 결과 신용평가절차에 있어서 기준이 경영상태, 성장성, 그리고 재무구조의 건전성에 있어야 함에도 불구하고 이러한 기본적인 요인들의 영향력은 미미한 반면, 비공개적이고 불투명하며 비경제적인 요인들이 중요한 비중을 차지하고 있었다. 이에 반하여 선진신용평가기관들의 분석결과는 그 신뢰도에 믿음을 가질 수 있고, 대내외적인 공신력을 인정받고 있으며, 평가과정이 매우 주관적이어서 그 내용을 모두 공개하지 않지만, 국내의 신용평가과정보다는 투명성을 인정받고 있다는 것도 사실이다. 따라서 국내신용평가기관들의 나아갈 바를 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 비재무적 요인의 평가기준에 대한 인식의 재정립이 요구되고 있다. 장기적인 시각으로 비재무적 요인에 대한 평가기준과 방법에 대한 체계의 정립이 요구되며, 전문적이고 객관적이면서도 뚜렷한 평가기관의 주관이 있는 평가가 이루어져야 할 것이다. 둘째, 신용평가방법과 기준의 강화로 대외적인 공신력을 얻도록 해야 한다. 이를 위한 방안의 하나로 성장성, 수익성, 그리고 안정성 비율 모두를 반영할 수 있는 신용평가모형을 개발하고, 자기자본비율의 대폭적인 상승이나 현금흐름의 양호여부, 경제적 부가가치(EVA), 고정장기적합률의 이행기준의 설정 등에 대한 평가기준의 재정립이 강구되어야 할 것이다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the effects of a self-monitoring rehabilitation program based on the Bandura's self-efficacy theory on the activities of daily living (ADL), 6-minute walking distances, self-efficacy and quality of life (QoL) among stroke patients after three to six months. Methods: The participants consisted of 29 patients in the experiment group and 28 patients in the control group who admitted at rehabilitation specific hospital. Self-monitoring program developed by the researcher lasted twice a week for 8 weeks from August to September, 2013. Results: ANCOVA showed that all of dependent variables of this study, ADL and 6-minute walking distances as a physical function, self-efficacy and QoL for intervention group were higher than those for control group(p<.001). Conclusion: The self-monitoring rehabilitation program based on the self-efficacy theory was found to be effective in improving physical function, self-efficacy and QoL for early post-stroke patients. Early rehabilitation program for stroke patients was recommended to consider the self-monitoring of current physical and psychosocial status as a strategy of self-management.
