Among numerous factors that have an effect on visual field, the effects of background condition on the size of the visual field were investigated to obtain more practical visual field that can be readily applicable to industrial settings. A visual experiment was conducted, in which the subject was instructed to search a target with distinct orientations. Size contrast, meridian, nontarget density, and subject's gender showed a significant effect on the size of the visual field at $\alpha=0.01$. The size of the visual field was linearly proportional to size contrast, and inversely proportional to density. Female's visual fields were found to be significantly larger than male subjects', The size of the visual field on horizontal axis was larger than that on vertical axis, and the size of the head & eye field on right meridian was also larger than that on left meridian. The shape was found to be horizontally oriented oval and statistically asymmetric with respect to horizontal and vertical axes. The regression equations to predict the visual fields on the given background condition were suggested. The visual fields suggested in this study would be valuable to the design of visual displays and the panel layout of various displays and controls.

This study surveyed the elementary school teachers' use of visual representations and their perceptions of the functions of visual representations in the teaching of electricity unit. A total of 110 elementary teachers who have experiences in teaching electricity unit responded to online survey. The result showed firstly that most of the teachers use visual representations in their teaching and it is mostly limited to those presented in textbooks or images that they can get easily from internet search. Secondly, elementary teachers thought that they have high ability in using visual representations and low ability in understanding students' visual presentation ability. Thirdly, visual representations are more often preferred to be used as teacher-centered ways than student-centered ways for motivating students and conceptual understanding. However, in case of scientific inquiry, both teacher-centered and student-centered ways were equally preferred. Lastly, the teachers' perceptions of the functions of visual representations were categorized into 'teaching-instrumental function', 'learning-instrumental function', 'communicative-instrumental function' and 8 subcategories were found. The most frequent function was the 'information delivery function' in the 'teaching-instrumental function' category. Implications for teacher education and further studies were discussed.

본 논문에서는 High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) 부호화 속도 향상을 위하여 주변 CU들의 정보를 활용한 고속 병합모드 결정 방법을 제안한다. 표준화가 완료된 HEVC에서는 병합 후보 리스트(Merge Candidate List)에서 생성되는 동일한 후보 모드를 가진다. $2N{\times}2N$에 대하여 병합 모드와 병합 SKIP 모드(Merge SKIP mode)가 후보들을 공유하며 모드 검색을 수행한다. 이러한 병합과정은 후보 모드만큼 수행 후 병합 SKIP 모드 또한 필요에 따라 후보만큼 수행하는 검색과정은 반복 연산으로 복잡도를 가중시키고 있다. 이러한 부호화 복잡도를 감소시키기 위하여 제안된 방법에서는 이미 부호화된 시공간적 주변 블록들 및 상위 부호화 깊이 블록의 병합 (Merge) 정보를 활용하여 현재 부호화 블록의 모드를 조기에 결정한다. 주변 블록 정보가 모두 병합 SKIP 모드일 경우 조기에 병합 SKIP 모드만을 검색하도록 하고, 그렇지 않은 경우에는 기존의 병합 과정을 수행하도록 설계하였다. 실험을 통해 제안한 방법이 기존의 HEVC의 부호화 시간보다 21.25%가 감소시킬 수 있으며, 화질 열화는 매우 적음을 보인다.

사람들은 하루에도 수없이 어떤 물체나 사람을 찾는다. 이때 찾아야 하는 대상이 무엇인가 하는 정보 외에도 그 대상이 가지고 있는 지각적 정보도 시각탐색에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 안구운동추적기를 사용하여 탐색 목표를 알려주는 사전제시 자극의 크기 정보가 시각탐색과정에 영향을 주는지를 알아 보고자 하였다. 실험참가자는 화면가운데 제시된 특정 기호 자극(사전제시 자극)을 먼저 확인하고, 이후 화면 주변에 원형으로 제시된 8개의 자극들(탐색 디스플레이) 중 그 자극(목표자극)을 찾아 그 크기가 사전제시시와 동일한지 혹은 달라졌는지를 판단하는 과제를 실시하였다. 실험조건은 탐색 디스플레이가 모두 동일한 크기를 가진 항목들로 이루어졌는지 여부(동질적 디스플레이/이질적 디스플레이)와 목표자극의 사전제시시 크기(큼/작음)와 탐색시 크기(큼/작음)에 따라 8개의 피험자내 조건으로 구성되었다. 연구가설은 탐색 함목들이 다른 크기를 가진 이질적 디스플레이 조건에서 실험참가자는 사전제시 자극의 크기 정보와 일치하는 항목들을 먼저 살펴볼 전략을 사용할 것이라고 예측하였다. 실험결과, 과제수행 반응시간에서 탐색 디스플레이의 주효과, 목표자극의 탐색시 크기 주효과, 그리고 디스플레이 조건에 따라 다른 목표자극의 사전제시시와 탐색시 크기의 일치성 효과가 관찰되었다. 안구운동 측정치들을 분석한 결과, 그 첫 도약이 탐색 목표자극으로 향한 비율(Initial Saccade to Target Ratio)에서 반응시간과 유사하게 탐색 디스플레이 조건에 따라 목표자극의 크기 일치성 효과가 각각 달리 나타났다. 즉, 목표자극의 크기의 일치성 효과는 이질적 디스플레이 조건에서만 관찰되었는데, 이는 실험참가자들이 목표자극의 크기 정보를 바탕으로 탐색 항목들 중 사전 목표자극의 크기와 같은 항목들에게 먼저 주의를 기울였음을 나타낸다. 사후 분석 결과, 목표자극의 크기가 일관될 때는 이질적 디스플레이 조건의 안구움직임과 과제수행이 동질적 디스플레이 조건 보다 조금 더 빨랐으나, 목표 자극의 크기가 달라질 때는 오히려 더 느려졌음을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the visual elements for effectively conveying the make-up method of the Korean history. We will do basic research on language visualization through visual poetry by using a make-up method as a visual expression element. Our research methods consisted of a related literature research, an internet search, and case study methods. The make-up methods of Korean classical make-up through visual poetry consisted of a through literature review. First, make-up methods, cosmetics, jewelry, and hair styles are shown in the classic make-up style of each age. Second, classical make-up visual poetry shows the identity, gender, and character depictions. Third, there were many visual metaphors about the hair types, figures, and hair among the classical make-up methods of each age. I think that this topic is worth researching as an appropriate medium to increase attractiveness. This research is with visual expression elements of the Korea make-up method. This study analyzed the Korean traditional make-up method that expresses and reinterprets visual metaphors. The results of this study can be applied for basic research.

Motion estimation is a core part of most video compression systems since it directly affects the output video quality and the encoding time. The full search (FS) technique gives the highest visual quality but has the problem of a significant computational load. To solve this problem, we present in this paper a modified median (MMED) operation and advanced search strategies for fast motion estimation. The proposed MMED operation includes a temporally co-located motion vector (MV) to select an appropriate initial candidate. Moreover, we introduce a search procedure that reduces the number of thresholds and simplifies the early termination conditions for the determination of a final MV. The experimental results show that the proposed approach achieves substantial speedup compared with the conventional methods including the motion vector field adaptive search technique (MVFAST) and predictive MVFAST (PMVFAST). The proposed algorithm also improves the PSNR values by increasing the correlation between the MVs, compared with the FS method.

With the growing popularity of digital video applications, those areas of the efficient transmit, storage management, and search technology for video data are emerging as an important core technology. To be an effective video indexing system, users need to be able to find the video segments that they want. Unfortunately, video data is difficult to manage because of its unstructured data type and large volume with linear forms. This paper proposes a shot verification using visual rhythm and video retrieval system. The shot verification is designed to detect a segment from video easily and quickly, known as shot boundaries, just by changing the visual rhythm without playing the image. Therefore, this can decrease the false detected shots and generate the unidentified shots and key frames. The retrieval system is constructed in terms of visual descriptor from the list of MPEG-7. The effectiveness of the proposed shot verification process and video retrieval system is demonstrated.

Depending upon the eye and head movement, the visual field is often classified into three categories ; stationary field, eye field and head and eye field. To investigate the effect of background condition on the size of the visual field, an experiment was conducted, in which the subject was instructed to search a target with distinct orientations. In each trial, a single target was presented on the perimeter modified to cover the range of 330 .deg. around the fixation point, with the visual angle subtended 1.4 .deg. vertically and horizontally. Nontarget density, meridian, size contrast and subject showed a significant effect on the visual field at .alpha. =0.01, where density was inversely proportional to the size of the visual field, and size contrast linearly proportional to the size of the visual field. The size of the visual field on horizontal axis was larger than that on vertical axis, and that on right and upper meridian was also larger than on left and lower meridian. The shape was found to be horizontally oriented oval and statistically asymmetric with respect to horizontal and vertical axes. In addition, the regression equations to predict the visual field on the given background condition were suggested. These results were expected to be used as a design guideline when arranging displays and controls on panels such as automobile display panels, cockpits, etc.

The search for relevant and actionable information is a key to achieving clinical and research goals in biomedicine. Biomedical information exists in different forms: as text and illustrations in journal articles and other documents, in images stored in databases, and as patients' cases in electronic health records. This paper presents ways to move beyond conventional text-based searching of these resources, by combining text and visual features in search queries and document representation. A combination of techniques and tools from the fields of natural language processing, information retrieval, and content-based image retrieval allows the development of building blocks for advanced information services. Such services enable searching by textual as well as visual queries, and retrieving documents enriched by relevant images, charts, and other illustrations from the journal literature, patient records and image databases.
