This paper proposes a database index and retrieval method using the PCA(Principal Component Analysis). We perform a scene change detection and key frame extraction from the DC Image constructed by DCT DC coefficients in the compressed video stream that is video compression standard such as MPEG. In the extracted key frame, we use the PCA, then we can make codebook that has a statistical data as a codeword, which is saved as a database index. We also provide retrieval image that are similar to user's query image in a video database. As a result of experiments, we confirmed that the proposed method clearly showed superior performance in video retrieval and reduced computation time and memory space.

With increase in digitalmedia data, various video indexing and video sequence matching algorithms have been proposed to efficiently manage and utilize digital media. In this paper, we propose a robust video indexing algorithm to detect scene changes for video sequences with abrupt luminance variations and an efficient video sequence matching algorithm for video sequence query. To improve the accuracy and to reduce the computational complexity for video indexing with abrupt luminance variations, the proposed algorithm utilizes edge features as well as color features, which yields a remarkably better performance than conventional algorithms. In the proposed algorithm first we extract the candidate shot boundaries using color histograms and then determine using edge matching and luminance compensation if they are shot boundaries or luminance changes. If the scene contains trivial brighness variations, the edge matching and luminance compensation are performed only for shot boundaries. In experimental results, the proposed method gives remarkably a high performance and efficiency than the conventional methods with the similar computational complexity.

New methods are proposed for printing a full resolution image on a limited output device. The proposed algorithm uses a dot-pattern database that models overlapping phenomena among neighbor printing dots. To solve the problem of dot-overlap, the gray levels of dot-pattern sets were calculated using a circular dot-overlap model and then measured by a spectrometer. Thereafter, in order to improve the visual quality of the color dithering, the contrast sensitivity function of the human visual system was used. As a result, the optimal dot-pattern can be selected from the database. Consequently, the proposed algorithm can produce high quality images while using low-cost color devices.

This paper addresses a method to automatically detect out a person's face from a given image that consists of a hair and face view of the person and a complex background scene. Out method involves an effective detection algorithm that exploits the spatial distribution characteristics of human skin color via an adaptive fuzzy color classifier (AFCC), The universal skin-color map is derived on the chrominance component of human skin color in Cb, Cr and their corresponding luminance. The desired fuzzy system is applied to decide the skin color regions and those that are not. We use RGB model for extracting the hair color regions because the hair regions often show low brightness and chromaticity estimation of low brightness color is not stable. After some preprocessing, we apply convex-hull to each region. Consequent face detection is made from the relationship between a face's convex-hull and a head's convex-hull. The algorithm using the convex-hull shows better performance than the algorithm using pattern method. The performance of the proposed algorithm is shown by experiment. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm successfully and efficiently detects the faces without constrained input conditions in color images.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of Cu-methionine chelate(Cu-Met) and Cu-soy proteinate(Cu-SP) on the performance, small intestinal microflora and immune response in laying hens. A total of 960 Hy-line $Brown^{(R)}$ laying hens of 39 wks old were assigned to one of the following 6 dietary treatment: control(C), antibiotic(Avilamycine 6 ppm), Cu-Met 50 and Cu-Met 100(50 and 100 ppm Cu as Cu-methionine chelate), Cu-SP 50 and Cu-SP 100(50 and 100ppm Cu as Cu-soy proteinate). Each treatment was replicated 4 times with forty birds per replication, housed in 2 birds per cages. Forty birds units were arranged according to randomized block design. Feeding trial lasted 6 wks under 16 hours lighting regimen. Hen-day and hen-house egg production of groups treated with Antibiotic and Cu supplements tended to be higher than the control with significant difference (P<0.05) shown between Cu-Me 100 and control. Egg weight was significantly (P<0.05) heavier in antibiotic and Cu-SP treatments than Cu-Met treatments but they were not significantly different from the control. Eggshell strength, egg shell thickness, egg yolk color and Haugh unit were not significantly different among treatments. There were no significant differences in leukocytes and erythrocytes in the chicken blood. But mean corpuscular hemoglobin value(MCH) was significantly (P<0.05) higher in Cu-SP 100 than antibiotic treatment. The concentrations of serum IgG and IgA were not significantly different among treatments. Copper concentration in the liver tended to increase as the level of copper supplementation increased, that of Cu-SP 100 being significantly (P<0.05) higher than those of the control and antibiotic treatment. Concentrations of iron and zinc of the liver were not significantly influenced by treatments. Populations of Cl. perfringens and Lactobacilli in the small intestinal content were significantly (P<0.05) influenced by treatments. Population of Cl. perfringens decreased and that of Lactobacilli increased in the copper supplemented groups. The result of this experiment showed that Cu-Met and Cu-SP are comparable to antibiotic in improving egg production in laying hens. Birds fed diets supplemented with Cu-SP produced heavier eggs than those fed diets with Cu-Met. There were no significant differences in the performances between 50 ppm and 100 ppm copper supplementation as organic forms.

Julpyun(traditional Korean rice cake) was prepared by adding silkworm powder(SP) in the ratio of 0%, 3%, 6%, 9% of rice flour, and tested by proximate composition, sensory evaluation, chromaticity and rheological properties. In proximate composition, as the SP increased, amounts of moisture, crude protein and ash increased proportionally. In sensory evaluation test, 6% SP added Julpyun showed the highest score in color, Julpyun added with 3% SP gave the strongest flavor. From the scores of taste, texture and overall quality, 3% SP added Julpyun was evaluated as the best. In rheometer test, hardness increased as the amount of SP increased. Gumminess and brittleness tended to decrease as the ratio of SP increased and 3% SP added Julpyun showed the high value in them.

In this study, the physicochemical characteristics of imported whole sesame oil (WS; WS1, WS2), imported sesame powder oil (SP; SP1, SP2), sesame oil mixed with imported whole sesame and sesame powder (WSP; WSP1, WSP2) were analyzed and their quality characteristics were compared according to the imported raw material type. $L^*$ and $b^*$ values of WS1 were the lowest and the browning index was significantly high. WS2 showed contrasting results. The redness of sesame oil was high due to its high acid value. The correlation value showed a low acid value as the content of saturated fatty acid was high. SP showed low values for antioxidant property and overall preference. The overall preference score of sensory evaluation showed the highest positive correlation with the score, suggesting that SP lacked the unique fragrance. Therefore, SP lacked the specific aroma and antioxidant property.

The Color Management System in recent printers adopts ICC profiles for both monitors and printers. However, the ICC profile doesn't contain the characteristics of reproduced color on each monitor, because the color on each monitor is changed by user adjustment such as color temperature, brightness, and contrast adjustment. It is also depended on the backlight type and lifetime. As a result, unwanted color is reproduced on the printed paper, not like that on the monitor. To overcome the color difference between monitors and printers, it is needed to control the information of ICC profile. That is, first, the ICC profile is generated by the measurement of monitors having user set, then, through the CMS, the color on monitors can be produced on printed paper. However, it is difficult to apply the above system for normal users due to absence of measuring equipment and time consuming process. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel color matching technique based on the estimation of condition for each monitor having user set. The estimation is performed by a simple comparison visual test using a test image on printed paper and monitor. Then, the condition of monitor is applied to the ICC profile. As a result, the new ICC profile contains the color difference between user monitor and printer. The experimental results show the printed images using our proposed method have almost similar color with those on monitors.
