In this paper, we propose the color fuzzy decision algorithm to face segmentation in a color image. Our algorithm can segment without the user's interaction by fuzzy decision marking. And it removes small parts such as a noise using wavelet morphology in the image obtained by applying the fuzzy decision algorithm. Also, it merges and chooses the face region in each quantization image through rough sets. This video object division algorithm is shown to be superior to a conventional algorithm.

For this study we used a CCD video camera to capture the pavement image information via the computer. During investigation processing, the CCD video camera captured 10${\sim}$30 images per second. If the vehicle velocity is too fast, the collected images will be duplicated and if the velocity is too slow there will be a gapped between images. Therefore, in order to control the efficiency of the image grabber we should add accessory tools such as the Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) and odometer. Furthermore, Kalman Filtering can also solve these problems. After the CCD video camera captured the pavement images, we used the Least-Squares method to eliminate images of gradation which have non-uniform surfaces due to the illumination at night. The Fuzzy Entropy method calculates images of threshold segments and creates binary images. Finally, the Object Labeling algorithm finds objects that are cracks or noises from the binary image based on volume pixels of the object. We used these algorithms and tested them, also providing some discussion and suggestions.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-21 Digital Item Adaptation(DIA)에 의한 워터마크 신호의 영향을 실험하고 분석한다. MPEG-21 DIA에서는 다양한 소비환경에 맞게 멀티미디어 컨텐츠를 변할 수 있는 기능들을 제공하고 있다. 그러나 컨텐츠 변환기능들은 저작권 보호를 위해 컨텐츠에 삽입된 워터마크신호를 홰손시킬 수 있으므로, DIA 환경에서 워터마킹기술을 사용하기 위해서는 워터마킹기술에 대한 DIA의 영향을 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 일반적으로 널리 알려진 대표적인 워터마킹기술을 이용하여 MPEG-21 DIA에서 정의하고 있는 각각의 적응변환기능에 대한 워터마크의 강인성을 실험하여, 그 결과를 바탕으로 DIA 환경에서 워터마킹기술을 적용할 때 필요한 요구사항을 분석하였다.

본 논문은 기존의 질감기반 (texture) 얼굴검출 시스템에서 컬러 영상을 도입하여 성능개선의 중요한 부분인 얼굴 오검출율을 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 얼굴 영상의 컬러 성분은 흑백 성분과 비교하여 낮은 공간 주파수 영역을 가지는 특징이 있다. 질감기반 얼굴검출에서 높은 대비 (contrast) 성분의 에지는 얼굴이 아닌 영역에서 얼굴로 오인할 수가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 오인을 감소하기 위해 독립적인 컬러 채널 성분들을 질감기반 얼굴 검출에 각각 이용하여 그 얻어진 결과들을 융합 (fusion) 하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험결과로 제안한 칼라 채널 융합 방법을 통해 얻은 얼굴 검출율은 기존 흑백 영상과 비슷하게 유지되며 오검출율을 현저히 줄이는 것을 보였다.

This paper researched the operation methods of software video teleconferencing on the tactical communication networks under 1Mbps. The tactical communication networks have limited bandwidths, frequent data losses and transmission delays due to the unstable networks. In addition, the bandwidth for video teleconferencing has to be much smaller since the Army Tactical Command Information System(ATCIS) has priority of using the bandwidth. This paper analyzed such restrictions of tactical communication networks, presented some methods to improve the quality of the software video teleconferencing on the tactical communication networks and their actual experiments as well. It is applied in the first place to re-transmit the lost packets and to reduce the image size for the data traffic. Nothing is better for the video teleconferencing than to provide the bandwidth enough for every user. However, on the tactical communication networks with the limited bandwidth, video teleconferencing can be improved by optimizing the compression rate of image data, the number of image frames, the audio codec and the usage of audio compensation data.

Purpose - Due to the Covic-19 pandemic, the perceived value of video conferencing platforms has been increased drastically. However, there is little guidance on how service providers can improve video conferencing platforms. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that influence the users' perceived value of video conferencing services based on the heuristic-systematic model and the value-based adoption model. Design/Methodology/Approach - In this paper, we theoretically explore the relationship of the antecedents of perceived value(credibility, expertise, attractiveness, economic feasibility, security, and interactivity) and its outcomes (perceived usefulness, perceived risk and perceived value). The outcomes of this research is a conceptualization of antecedents of perceived value supported by research hypothesis based on the existing literature. A total of 100 valid questionnaires were collected to empirically test the research model. Findings - The analysis results showed that credibility, economic feasibility, and interactivity positively influenced perceived usefulness. On the other hand, credibility, professionalism and interactivity negatively influenced perceived risk. Perceived usefulness positively affects perceived value and perceived risk has a negative effect on perceived value. The brand image as a moderating variable was found to decrease the effect of perceived risk on perceived value. Research Implications - The contribution of this study is significant for video conferencing providers as follows. First, a service provider can actively utilize influencers or referees with high credibility and expertise to maximize the perceived usefulness of users. Second, economic feasibility should be ensured in respect of users through various alliance discount strategies. Third, a video conferencing service company needs to build a positive brand image in order to increase users' perceived value.

In this paper, Stereo 4K@60fps 360 VR real-time video capture system which consists of video stream capture, video encoding and stitching module is been designed. The system captures stereo 4K@60fps 360 VR video by stitching 6 of 2K@60fps stream which are captured through HDMI interface from 6 cameras in real-time. In video capture phase, video is captured from each camera using multi-thread in real-time. In video encoding phase, raw frame memory transmission and parallel encoding are used to reduce the resource usage in data transmission between video capture and video stitching modules. In video stitching phase, Real-time stitching is secured by stitching calibration preprocessing.

A variety of multimedia applications require multimedia database management systems to manage multimedia data, such as text, image, and video, as well as t support content-based image or video retrieval. In this paper we design and implement a content-based image retrieval system, BADA-IV/I$^2$R(Image Information Retrieval), which is developed based on BADA-IV multimedia database management system. In this system image databases can be efficiently constructed and retrieved with the visual features, such as color, shape, and texture, of image. we extend SQL statements to define image query based on both annotations and visual features of image together. A high-dimensional index structure, called CIR-tree, is also employed in the system to provide an efficient access method to image databases. We show that BADA-IV/I$^2$R provides a flexible way to define query for image retrieval and retrieves image data fast and effectively: the effectiveness and performance of image retrieval are shown by BEP(Bull's Eye Performance) that is used to measure the retrieval effectiveness in MPEG-7 and comparing the performance of CIR-tree with those of X-tree and TV-tree, respectively.

This paper proposes a new haze removal method for moving image sequence. Since the conventional dark channel prior haze removal method adjusts each color component separately in RGB color space, there can be severe color distortion in the haze removed output image. In order to resolve this problem, this paper proposes a new haze removal scheme that adjusts luminance and saturation components in HLS color space while retaining hue component. Also the conventional dark channel prior haze removal method is developed to obtain best haze removal performance for a single image. Therefore, if it is applied to a moving image sequence, the estimated parameter values change rapidly and the haze removed output image sequence shows unnatural glitter defects. To overcome this problem, a new parameter estimation method using Kalman filter is proposed for moving image sequence. Experimental results demonstrate that the haze removal performance of the proposed method is better than that of the conventional dark channel prior method.
