The aim of this study was to develop a gifted educational program in math-gifted class in elementary school using recently developed 4D-frame. This study identified how this program impacted on spatial sense and mathematical creativity for mathematically gifted students. The investigation attempted to contribute to the developments for the gifted educational program. To achieve the aim, the study analysed the 5 and 6th graders' figure learning contents from a revised version of the 2007 national curriculum. According to this analysis, twelve learning sections were developed on the basis of 4D-frame in the math-gifted educational program. The results of the study is as follows. First, a learning program using 4D-frame for spatial sense from mathematically gifted elementary school students was statistically significant. A sub-factor of spatial visualization called mental rotation and sub-factors of spatial orientations such as sense of distance and sense of spatial perception were statistically significant. Second, the learning program that uses 4D-frame for mathematical creativity was statistically significant. The sub-factors of mathematical creativity such as fluency, flexibility and originality were all statistically significant. Third, the manipulation properties of 4D-frame helped to understand the characteristics of various solid figures. Through the math discussions in the class, participants' error correction was promoted. The advantage of 4D-frame including easier manipulation helped participants' originality for their own sculpture. In summary, this found that the learning program using 4D-frame attributed to improve the spatial sense and mathematical creativity for mathematically gifted students in elementary school. These results indicated that the writers' learning program will help to develop the programs for the gifted education program in the future.

In this paper, we designed an LSF coefficient quantizer of the wideband speech codec that can produce high quality speech service. For the efficient LSF coefficient quantizer, the interframe correlation was used. Also we separately quantized the LSF coefficients with high and low interframe correlation. Predictive pyramid vector quantizer (PVQ) was used for quantizing the LSF coefficients with high interframe correlation, and PVQ was used for quantizing the LSF coefficients with low interframe correlation. Experiments show that the proposed UF quantizer can quantize LSF information in 40 bits/frame, with an average spectral distortion (SD) of 1 dB and less than 3.87% frames having SD greater than 2 dB.

This paper presents the method of calculating the quantization level of the intra-frame in MPEG-4 video encoder. The intra-frame is an essential part in that the quality of the whole GOP is affected by the quality of this frame since the intra-frame, which works as a reference frame within GOP, continuously propagates through other frames. This work proposes how to use bits assigned for gaining the quantization level of the intra-frame, complexity of input images, and GOP structures. The result shows that while existing approaches have the decline in efficiency by using fixed values or show different qualifies depending on the characteristics of the images, the current approach shows the steady results in various images. Comparing with Q2 algorithm obtained in MPEG-4 VM, the approach suggested in this paper gains the benefit of maximum 3.49dB with some variations depending on the characteristics of the images.

For constructing 3D information using aerial photograph or video sequences, left and right stereo images having different viewing angle should be prepared in overlapping area. In video sequences, left and right stereo images would be generated by mosaicing left and right slice images extracted in consecutive video sequences. Therefore, this paper is focused on generating left and right stereo mosaic images that are able to construct 3D information and video sequences could be made for the best use. In the stereo mosaic generation, motion parameters between video sequences should be firstly determined. In this paper, to determine motion parameters, free mosaic method using geometric relationship, such as relative orientation parameters, between consecutive frame images without GPS/INS geo-data have applied. After determining the motion parameters, the mosaic image have generated by 4 step processes: image registration, image slicing, determining on stitching line, and 3D image mosaicking. As the result of experiment, generated stereo mosaic image and analyzed result of x, y-parallax have showed.

This paper investigated the sub-region compression effect of the three dimensional DCT(3D-DCT) using the difference component(DC) of inter-frame in images. The proposed algorithm are the method that obtain compression effect to divide the information into subband after 3D-DCT, the data appear the type of cubic block(8${\times}$8${\times}$8) in eight difference components per unit. In the frequence domain that transform the eight differential component frames into eight DCT frames with components of both spatial and temporal frequencies of inter-frame, the image data are divided into frame component(8${\times}$8 block) of time-axis direction into 4${\times}$4 sub block in order to effectively obtain compression data because image components are concentrate in corner region with low-frequency of cubic block. Here, using the weight of sub block, we progressed compression ratio as consider to adaptive sub-region of low frequency part. In simulation, we estimated compression ratio, reconstructed image resolution(PSNR) with the simpler image and the complex image contained the higher frequency component. In the result, we could obtain the high compression effect of 30.36dB(average value in the complex-image) and 34.75dB(average value in the simple-image) in compression range of 0.04~0.05bpp.

Purpose: Current gas-mask is very uncomfortable structure for spectacles wearer. Improving this problem can aid military men and firemen to protect themselves and rescue other person. Methods: we changed the structure from dual type of outward lens and inward lens into a single type structure. we attached acrylic frame to gas-mask instead of outward lens and protected the gas inflow by shutting the gab of lens and frame using silicon shield, and made the frame "S" style for removing astigmatism and maintaining of vertex distance. Results: It was possible to correct visual acuity and gas shield, and could changed the lens like a common spectacles. The new type of gas-mask spectacles could remove 0.53D~1.78D astigmatism occurred from the slant of eyesight and lens surface, 0.07D~0.66D overcorrection occurred from short vertex distance, and 0.1D~0.3D astigmatism occurred from pantoscopic angle. Conclusion: Because new type of gas-mask spectacles had clear visual field, it was expected to improve fighting power and rescue ability.

This paper proposes a new frame rate up-conversion method. First, the proposed triple frame-based bidirectional motion estimation method reduce block artifacts in the interpolated frame by solving the wrong motion estimation in the area with similar characteristics. Second, the proposed motion vector smoothing reduces outliers, which result in block artifacts, considering the spatio-temporal neighboring motion vectors. In the experiments, the proposed frame rate up-conversion method improves the average PSNR and SSIM by up to 4.337 dB and 0.089, respectively, compared to the existing methods.

본 논문에서는 영상 시퀀스의 이전 프레임과 현재 프레임 사이의 차분 데이터로 이루어진 차분 프레임에 대하여 제안한 FDVQ(프레임 차분 체적양자화기)를 적용했을 때, 복원된 영상의 원 영상에 대한 해상도(PSNR)를 분석하였다. 시험 동영상(moving image)으로 실험한 결과, 저주파 성분을 많이 포함하는 차분 영상 데이터에 대하여 높은 압축률에서 제안된 FDVQ 방법으로 얻은 복원 해상도는 2D-DCT와 VQ를 이용한 방법보다 개선된 결과를 나타내었다. PSNR 결과에 대한 영상 특성의 분석 결과에서 FDVQ를 이용한 방법은 VQ 방법보다 압축률은 비슷하였으나 해상도는 평균 0.39㏈ 정도 향상되었다. 또한, 평균압축률 약 0.05bpp에서 2D-DCT 방법에 비해 고주파 성분을 많이 포함하는 경우는 0.8㏈ 이상 향상되었으며, 저주파 성분을 많이 포함하는 경우는 평균 0.4㏈ 정도 향상된 복원영상(reconstructed image)을 얻을 수 있었다.
