Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of two representative subway map design types, namely a diagram type and a geographical type using physiological metrics, performance metrics, and self-reported metrics, which are representative usability metrics. Background: Subway maps need to be designed in order for users to quickly search and recognize subway line information. Although most cities' subway maps currently use the diagram type designed by Henry Beck, New York City's subway map has recently been changed to the subway map type combined with the geographical type designed by Michael Hertz. However, not many studies on its efficiency are found, and the studies that are available mainly depend on questionnaire surveys or take on a subjective behavioral study type based on experts' experiences. In this regard, evaluation through a more objective method is needed. Method: This study employed usability metrics as a method to evaluate the efficiency of information search targeting the diagram type and geographical type subway maps used mostly as subway maps. To this end, physiological metrics obtained through eye tracking, task completion time, representative metric of task performance, and subjective evaluation metrics were used for the suitability evaluation of subway map designs. Results: In the result of gaze movement distance analysis, no significant difference was shown in the two design types in terms of a process finding a departure station from the starting point and a process finding a transfer station between the departure station and arrival station (destination). However, the gaze movement distance in the process finding the arrival station at the departure station was significantly shorter in the geographical type, rather than in the diagram type. The analysis of task completion time showed a result similar to the gaze movement distance analysis result. Task completion time was significantly shorter in the geographical type, rather than in the diagram type, which is in the process finding the arrival station at the departure station. In other information search processes, no significant difference was shown. As a result of subjective evaluation metrics analysis, no significant difference was revealed in the two design types. Conclusion: An analysis on the two representative subway map design types was carried out via the adoption of usability metrics. As a result, although no significant difference was shown in some information search processes, it was revealed that information search was easier in the geographical type overall. Also, it was found that usability metrics can be effectively used to evaluate the design types of subway maps. Application: The study results can be used to set design direction to offer ease in information search on subway lines. The study also can be used as a method to evaluate a subway map's design type.

Reversible data embedding theory has marked a new epoch for data hiding and information security. Being reversible, the original data and the embedded data as well should be completely restored. Difference expansion transform is a remarkable breakthrough in reversible data hiding scheme. The difference expansion method achieves high embedding capacity and keeps the distortion low. This paper shows that the difference expansion method with simplified location map, and new expandability and changeability can achieve more embedding capacity while keeping the distortion almost the same as the original expansion method.

Let G be a (p, q) graph. Let f be a map from V (G) to {1, 2, ${\ldots}$, p}. For each edge uv, assign the label ${\mid}f(u)-f(\nu){\mid}$. f is called a difference cordial labeling if f is a one to one map and ${\mid}e_f(0)-e_f(1){\mid}{\leq}1$ where $e_f(1)$ and $e_f(0)$ denote the number of edges labeled with 1 and not labeled with 1 respectively. A graph with admits a difference cordial labeling is called a difference cordial graph. In this paper, we investigate the difference cordial labeling behavior of triangular snake, Quadrilateral snake, double triangular snake, double quadrilateral snake and alternate snakes.

본 논문에서는 집적 영상 기술을 사용하여 3차원 정보를 추출하는 지도 시스템을 제안한다. 집적 영상 기술은 렌즈 배열을 가지는 2차원 영상 획득장치를 사용하여 다수의 서로 다른 원근감을 가지는 요소 영상을 기록하고 이를 이용하여 3차원 정보를 획득하고 디스플레이하는 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 각 요소 영상간의 위치 차이를 절대 차이의 합 (Summation of Absolute Difference: SAD)를 사용하여 구하고 이를 이용하여 3차원 정보를 추출한다. 따라서, 3차원 물체의 높이 정보를 구할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 카메라를 이용하여 차량 주행 중에 만날 수 있는 도로상의 수직형 돌발 장애물과 고정 장애물을 자동으로 추출하는 기술을 제안한다. 연속된 스테레오 영상 프레임들과 각 프레임의 좌, 우 영상 사이의 차영상들을 이용하여 도로 영상의 관심영역에 대한 시차를 획득하고, 기존 수직(V) 및 수평(H) 시차지도(disparity map)와는 달리 물체의 실제 크기에 비례하는 VO(Vertical Object) 및 HO(Horizontal Object)라는 새로운 지도를 생성한다.

The difference between definition time of GPS (Global Positioning System) position data and actual display time of car positions on a map could reduce the accuracy of car positions displayed in PND (Portable Navigation Device)-type CNS (Car Navigation System). Due to the time difference, the position of the car displayed on the map is not its current position, so an improved method to fix these problems is required. It is expected that a method that uses predicted future positionsto compensate for the delay caused by processing and display of the received GPS signals could mitigate these problems. Therefore, in this study an analysis was conducted to correct late processing problems of map positions by mapmatching using a Kalman filter with only GPS position data and a RRF (Road Reduction Filter) technique in a light-weight CNS. The effects on routing services are examined by analyzing differences that are decomposed into along and across the road elements relative to the direction of advancing car. The results indicate that it is possible to improve the positional accuracy in the along-the-road direction of a light-weight CNS device that uses only GPS position data, by applying a Kalman filter and RRF.

This paper suggests using the ICP (Iterative Closet Point) algorithm to compensate a two-dimensional map. ICP algorithm is a typical algorithm method using matching distance data. When building a two-dimensional map, using data through the value of a laser scanner, it occurred warping and distortion of a two-dimensional map because of the difference of distance from the value of the sensor. It uses the ICP algorithm in order to reduce any error of line. It validated the proposed method through experiment involving matching a two-dimensional map based reference data and measured the two-dimensional map.

This paper presents an evaluation system to determine the completeness of a space map obtained by a visual SLAM(Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) algorithm. The proposed system consists of three parts. First, the proposed system detects the occurrence of loop closing to confirm that users acquired the information from all directions. Thereafter, the acquired map is divided with regular intervals and is verified whether each area has enough map points to successfully estimate users' position. Finally, to check the effectiveness of each map point, the system checks whether the map points are identifiable even at the location where there is a large distance difference from the acquisition position. Experimental results show that space maps whose completeness is proven by the proposed system has higher stability and accuracy in terms of position estimation than other maps that are not proven.

최근들어, 우리나라에서는 수치지도 2.0을 이용하여 전산편집에 의해 종이지도를 제작하고 있다. 그러나 수치지도와 종이지도는 표현방법이 상이하기 때문에 축척에 따라 지도일반화가 처리되어야하며 지도일반화 기준은 사람이 눈으로 직접 판독하는 대상물의 크기에 의해 결정되어야 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 각 축척의 지도에서 표현되는 건물의 크기를 표준시력의 눈으로 관측하고 그 결과를 분석하였다. 연구결과 인간의 눈에 적합한 건물의 크기는 단변의 길이가 0.4mm이상인 도형의 면적에 해당되며, 지도일반화를 위한 독립건물, 축소건물, 밀집건물처리에 모두 이 기준을 적용하였다.
