Human observers perceive a contour where no line or edge is given (subject contour), such as the border between gratings of thin lines offset by half a cycle. Subjective contours occur in a wide variety of circumstances in nature. A common factor in all such figures in the perception of a surface(contour) occuluding part of a background, i.e. subject contours are always accompanied by subject surfaces. Some examples about these kinds of figures are given by kanizsa trangle or square. Ph;ysiological observations are reported in which the perceptual phenomenon that some simple examples of subject contours are perceived as images (gigures; contours) through physiological experiments was investgated. In this paper, we proposed a neural network extracting the induce dstimuli for the perception of subject contours based on the visual mechnism. This visual mechnism is proposed by hubel & wiesel's paper.

영역 기반 부호화 시 윤곽선의 정보량은 부호화 후 전체 정보량의 큰 부분을 차지한다. 본 논문에서는 분할 기반 영상 부호화를 위한 새로운 적응적 윤곽선 부호화 기법을 제안한다. 주변 영역간의 대비를 고려하여 적응적으로 윤곽선을 부호화하는 제안한 기법을 적용하여 주관적 화질의 저하 없이 전체 윤곽선 정보량을 줄일 수 있다. 영상에 형태학적 분수계 알고리즘을 적용하여 영역별로 분할한 후, 윤곽선 세그먼트들을 인접 영역간의 대비에 따라 분류한다. 분류된 윤곽선 세그먼트 중, 낮은 대비 영역 사이의 윤곽선 세그먼트들은 형태학적 저역 통과 필터 등에 의해 크게 압축할 수 있다. 실험을 통해 제안한 윤곽선 부호화 기법은 초저속 환경 하에서 우수한 수행 결과를 나타내었다.

목 적 : 일반스프링 매트리스에 비교하여 지지력 등을 향상시킨 컨투어 코일 매트리스가 주관적 및 객관적인 수면의 질을 향상시킬 수 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 건강하게 수면하는 일반인 대상자 15명을 모집하였다. 연구대상자들은 두 종류의 매트리스에서 잠을 자면서 야간수면다원검사를 시행하였고 검사 전, 후 주관적인 수면의 질에 대한 자가설문지를 작성하게 하였다. 한 연구대상자가 각각 다른 매트리스에서 2일에 걸쳐 야간수면다원검사를 시행하여 얻어진 객관적인 수면변인들과 주관적인 자가 설문지 변수들로 교차설계분석을 시행하였다. 결 과 : 야간수면다원검사에서 측정된 수면잠복기가 컨투어 코일 매트리스에서 잠을 잔 경우 일반스프링 매트리스에서 잠을 잔 경우보다 평균 1.9분 감소하였다. 이외에도 주관적으로 느낀 수면 중 각성횟수, 깊게 잠든 느낌 그리고 잠자리의 편안함이 컨투어 코일 매트리스가 유의하게 더 나은 결과를 보였다. 결 론 : 매트리스가 종류에 따라서 주관적인 수면의 질뿐만 아니라 객관적인 수면의 질에도 영향을 미친다고 할 수 있다.

This paper presents contour simplification method and a regional hierarchical segmentation algorithm based on PSNR for the transmission of image in mobile communication, of which available bandwidth is very limited. It first takes into account the global information and produces a coarse segmentation, that is, with a small number of regions. Then, each segmented region has different quality. Thus, the region with low quality is selected by PSNR and improved by introducing regions corresponding to more local information. It is able to improve the subjective quality of image and reduce contour information. In addition, contour simplification method is proposed for the efficient lossless chain coding. The proposed method can be applied to the applications such as mobile communications and videotelephone through PSTN, of which the available transmission bandwidth is very limited.

In bicycle design, saddle is the major part which effects the subjective comfort of rider. This study examines the correlation between the subjective comfort and elastic body pressure. The elastic body pressure measuring instrument for free-form surface such as saddle is developed by force sensor register, A/D converter and computer. The subjective comfort is measured quantit- atively by 11-point scale method and the elastic body pressure distribution is obtained through 3 different saddles at 4 postures. The pressure distribution is presented by computerized equi- pressure contour. While mean pressure, standard deviation of pressure, maximum pressure are inversely proportional to subjective comfort, the modified saddle-bearing weight which is the surface integral of pressure is directly proportional. Consequently, standard deviation of pressure is most important characteristic which affects variation of subjective comfort.

An image fusion method is proposed on the basis of depth model segmentation to overcome the shortcomings of noise interference and artifacts caused by infrared and visible image fusion. Firstly, the deep Boltzmann machine is used to perform the priori learning of infrared and visible target and background contour, and the depth segmentation model of the contour is constructed. The Split Bregman iterative algorithm is employed to gain the optimal energy segmentation of infrared and visible image contours. Then, the nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) transform is taken to decompose the source image, and the corresponding rules are used to integrate the coefficients in the light of the segmented background contour. Finally, the NSCT inverse transform is used to reconstruct the fused image. The simulation results of MATLAB indicates that the proposed algorithm can obtain the fusion result of both target and background contours effectively, with a high contrast and noise suppression in subjective evaluation as well as great merits in objective quantitative indicators.

The purpose of this study was to make a scale for measuring the subjective hand of fabrics. For this purpose subjective hand expressions which were published in the journals were reviewed. 11 pairs(9 biopolar-pairs, 2 unipolar-pairs) were selected after searching the definitions in a dictionary followed by focus group interview and survey. To find out if these terminological biopolar pairs are agreed with the biopolar pairs in human sensation, a survey of fabric hand was undertaken using a scale consisted of 20 words(18 words from biopolar-pairs, 2 words from unipolar pairs). Among 11 pairs, 10 pairs except [taktakhada-poksinhada] were accepted as biopolar pair of word terminologically and sensuously. [taktakhada-poksinhada] was recognized as a biopolar pair terminologically but not sensuously. These 20 words were classified as 5 factors-surface contour, density, flexibility, dampness, and extensibility

Sensory attributes and preferences that contribute to consumer satisfaction with artificial leather were measured by subjective evaluation, and subjective hand and preferences were analyzed in relation to its use. Using tactile and visual senses, 50 experts in fashion and textile industry evaluated leathers classified into two categories, suede and polyurethane coated, according to different manufacturing methods. They answered questions on subjective hand and preferences of different artificial leathers of various fashion items (jackets, purses, bags, shoes, boots, furniture, etc.), using specific adjectives to describe the hand properties. As a result, it was found that the subjective hand properties of artificial leathers were related to 'Thickness', 'Fullness/softness', 'Surface contour', 'Stickiness', and 'Elasticity'. The leather type from different manufacturing methods influenced their perceived hand and preferences relating to use. By use, different hands were preferred. The preferences for jackets and furniture of suede type leathers were related to their surface properties, whereas the preferences for items of the other type of leathers were associated with their resilience. On the other hand, in the case of polyurethane coated leathers, the preferences for jackets were significantly affected by their thickness, while those for the other items were influenced by their resilience and surface properties.

In this paepr, a new image segmentation method reducing efficiently contour information causing bottleneck problem at segmentatio-based very low bit rate codingis proposed, while preserving objective and subjective quality. It consists of 4-level hierarchical image segmentation based on mathematical morphology and 1-leve region merging structure using contast of two adjacent regions. For two adjacent region pairs at the fourth level included in each region of the thid level, contrast is calculated. Among the pairs of two adjacent regions with less value than threshold, two adjacent regions having the minimum contrast are merged first. After region merging, texture of the merged region is updated. The procedure is performed recursively for all the adjacent region pairs at the fourth level included in each region of the third level. Compared with the previous method, the objective and subjective image qualities are similar. But it reduces 46.65% texture information on the average by decreasing total region number to be tansmitted. Specially, it shows reduction of the 23.95% contour information of the average. Thus, it can improve efficiently the bottleneck problem at segementation-based very low bit rate coding.
