Developing curriculum in the field of illustration is the main purpose of this study. During the past 30 years, illustration industry has achieved remarkable success in South Korea. Moreover the trends in styles are various today. Aspiring Korean illustrators were awarded prizes by authoritative international organization for their illustrated picture books lately. Regardless of achievement in the field of illustration, an adequate curriculum to educate illustrators was never developed. Facing the challenging circumstances of the 21th century, professors of illustration need to be specialized and they must study the ultimate curriculum of illustration. Since illustration is a visual language, the kernels of education for illustration are teaching the nature of visual communication, getting the objectivity of communicating and establishing a professional techniques for expression. Even though the basic formative arts training courses are fairly important to students who major in illustration, it is impossible to see the achievement with the current situation of curriculum. In order to make good products of illustration and competent illustrator, we must try to create education system which well-matched for an independent genre of illustration field. Besides 1 hope this study will be used as one of the teaching methods for the field of animation and cartoon as well as for the field of illustration.

Verbal communication has limits in the interaction between robot and man, and therefore nonverbal communication is required for realizing smoother and more efficient communication and even the emotional expression of the robot. This study derived 7 pieces of nonverbal information based on shopping behavior using the robot designed to support shopping, selected facial expression as the element of the nonverbal information derived, and coded face components through 2D analysis. Also, this study analyzed the significance of the expression of nonverbal information using 3D animation that combines the codes of face components. The analysis showed that the proposed expression method for nonverbal information manifested high level of significance, suggesting the potential of this study as the base line data for the research on nonverbal information. However, the case of 'embarrassment' showed limits in applying the coded face components to shape and requires more systematic studies.

We have developed the sign-language synthesis system, which can be applied for intelligent terminal equipments, for the purpose of communications between normal people and the hearing-impaired. In the system, we generate the behavior of the sign-language words using CG animation based on Motion-Primitives of the motion observed of each legion of the body in the generation of words, the conventional system was difficult to control the shape of hands and the motions of hands and shoulder, requiring lots of time for the processing. Also it is a big problem to make a large database of sign-language, because it requires over 5,000 words to translate the sign-language. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the new system that is easy to construct the database by using Motion-Primitives, which can make paths of various motions more smooth than conventional systems. We have tested 100 words of the sign-language against the hearing-impaired with the proposed system. As the result of testing by the proposed system, we have earned a good recognition rate with 82%. On the other hand, we had earned the recognition ratio with 76% by using the former system.

This study analyzes the Soju(Korean alcohol) advertisement image, which is relatively easy to interpret subjectively, among sexual appeal advertisements that stimulate consumers' curiosity, where the image is verified through AOI (area of interest) 3 areas (face, body, product), and eye-tracking, one of the psychophysiological indicators. The result of the analysis reveals that visual attention, the interest in the advertising model, was higher in the face than in the body shape. Contrary to the prediction that men would be more interested in body shape than women, both men and women showed higher interest in the face than a body. Besides, it was derived that recognition and recollection of the product were not significant. This study is significant in terms of examining the pattern of visual attention such as the gaze point and gaze time of male and female consumers on sexual appeal advertisements. In further, the study looks forward to bringing a positive influence to the soju advertisement image by presenting the expression method that the soju advertisement image should pursue as well as the appropriate marketing direction.

This paper presents novel segmentation and transition techniques for dancing motion synthesis. The segmentation method for dancing motions is based on Laban Movement Analysis (LMA). We assume a dance sequence as a set of small dancing motions. To segment a dancing motion is a subjective, psychological, and complex problem, so we extract the shape factor of LMA from a dance motion and observe shape's changes to find the boundaries of dance segments. We also introduce a transition method that meets constraints on the feet. This method that is based on a linear interpolation modifies the intermediate posture motion after analyzing footprint positions. The posture could be a key-frame between source motion and target motion on the transition. With the proposed techniques, it would be easy for multimedia applications to generate plausible dance motions.

One of the critical themes in the language acquisition is its exposure to linguistic environments. Linguistic environments, which interact with infants, include not only human beings such as its parents but also artificially crafted linguistic media as their functioning elements. An infant learns a language by exploring these extensive language environments around it. Based on such large linguistic data exposure, we propose a machine learning based method on the cognitive mechanism that simulate flexibly and appropriately infant's language learning. The infant's initial stage of language learning comes with sentence learning and creation, which can be simulated by exposing it to a language corpus. The core of the simulation is a memory-based learning model which has language hypernetwork structure. The language hypernetwork simulates developmental and progressive language learning using the structure of new data stream through making it representing of high level connection between language components possible. In this paper, we simulates an infant's gradual and developmental learning progress by training language hypernetwork gradually using 32,744 sentences extracted from video scripts of commercial animation movies for children.

This study was carried out to investigate the utilization status of internet dietary information by gender(boys: 363, girls: 366) in adolescent(middle & high school students). The results were summarized as follows. The internet using frequency of 6-7times per week had 45.0% of subjects and the using time of internet per a time was shown mainly'<2hours(68.5%)'. The main place for internet use was home(79.0%) and favorite search engine was 'Yahoo'(45.7%) and 'Daum'(19.3%). As main purpose using internet were mentioned 'social intercourse'(45.0%) and data search'(24.8%). The organization that offer to reliable internet information was educational institution'(49.4%). The problems in using information site were 'poor information'(26.4%), 'slow connection speed'(22.6%), and 'don't arouse interest'(18.8%). The search experience about dietary information had only 27.9% of subjects and search purpose was 'for homework'(33.3%) and 'for health'(32.0). The satisfaction degree of dietary information was not high. The connection motive to dietary information was mainly 'by site navigation casualty'(55.7%). Only 7.7% of subjects had experience of nutrition counseling using internet, and the motive of nutrition counseling was also 'by site navigation causally'(55.8%). The purpose of counseling was 'for diet'(41.5%) and 'for health problem'(30.2%), and the satisfaction degree of counseling result was very low. As the ask of improvement for counseling site were pointed out 'poor in answer content'(44.8%) and 'lazy answer'(31.0%). The subjects wanted to get the dietary information about 'growth in status'(41.4%), 'diet related skin beauty'(14.6%), the update period less 1 month, and the way of 'free board'(32.3%), 'game'(21.1%) and 'animation'(19.3%) as offer tool. The results of this study showed that although the internet using percent and frequency of subjects was high, they used dietary information very seldom and they are dissatisfied with internet nutritional information. Therefore, the information donor should consider which dietary information was needed and what is the optimal tool for adolescent.

The stippling techniques, which represent objects with numerous points using pen and ink. The previous stippling techniques for Non-Photorsealistc Rendering(NPR) use single-colored points to represent the tone of gray image ur the material of surface. This paper presents a new stippling technique with various colored points based on the analysis of color information. By using the color information of the input image on HSV model, we define the color weight function that allows to determine automatically the number and size of points. The color jittering based on Munsell's color model can generate stippling drawings using various colored points to represent the image. Our color stippling method is expected to be used in many areas such as animation, digital art, video processing and CG tool.

Computer users frequently request large scale multimedia data such as images. voice, video rather than conventional formal data. Data in virtual fossil museum are represented as points, shape, location in multidimensional space and interrelation with other spatial object. Informations in virtual fossil museum should be maintained to manipulate spatial object and non-spatial object. In this report we propose virtual fossil museum which is consisted of two parts. In the first step, basic system is implemented in internet for non-specialist such as primary students. This system is implemented based on visual multimedia information system so that non-specialist about computer can access easily. In the second step, expert system is designed which allows computer users can store, magnify, reduce, and retrieve the spatial data. This expert system uses animation, spatial query and VRML.
