Purpose: In this study, the luminance measurement analysis results of the smoke generation state are considered for visual signal display light color for real-time escape guidance in the underground common area. Method: We will analyze the scattering characteristics of light in the atmosphere and optical technology based on the visibility theory, and try to classify the elemental technology as a guidance function through a prototype of a visual signal display device for evacuation guidance. Result: In the experiment conducted under the smoke-generating condition, the results were derived with low luminance ratio and good visibility in the order of red, green, and yellow. However, this result is different from general lighting in which color rendering is considered, and is limited to signals for signals and detection. Conclusion: A conclusions were drawn by reflecting both the luminance measurement results in the smoke generation situation and the preference survey results conducted in previous studies for the light color of the visual signal for signal and detection. When events such as smoke occur, it is better to use the escape guidance visual signal in red or green.

CP (Cellular Phone) is currently one of the most attractive technologies and RT (Robot Technology) is also considered as one of the most promising next generation technology. We present a new technological concept named RCP (Robotic Cellular Phone), which combines RT and CP. RCP consists of 3 sub-modules, $RCP^{Mobility}$, $RCP^{Interaction}$, and $RCP^{Integration}$. $RCP^{Interaction}$ is the main focus of this paper. It is an interactive emotion system which provides CP with multi-emotional signal receiving functionalities. $RCP^{Interaction}$ is linked with communication functions of CP in order to interface between CP and user through a variety of emotional models. It is divided into a tactile, an olfactory and a visual mode. The tactile signal receiving module is designed by patterns and beat frequencies which are made by mechanical-vibration conversion of the musical melody, rhythm and harmony. The olfactory signal receiving module is designed by switching control of perfume-injection nozzles which are able to give the signal receiving to the CP-called user through a special kind of smell according to the CP-calling user. The visual signal receiving module is made by motion control of DC-motored wheel-based system which can inform the CP-called user of the signal receiving through a desired motion according to the CP-calling user. In this paper, a prototype system is developed for multi-emotional signal receiving modes of CP. We describe an overall structure of the system and provide experimental results of the functional modules.

We present a visual programming system for signal analysis; it allows the user to construct signal processing algorithms by assembling visually fundamental signal processing blocks, and to observe the processed signals as well as the original signals in detail by magnifying a portion and measuring the time interval and amplitude between two points. Each fundamental signal processing block is implemented as an independent dynamically linked library module. Therefore, the user can expand the system processing capability by simply adding dynamically linked library modules without restructuring the entire system.

In this paper, we aimed to analysis EEG signals related to concentration of adolescents using letter visual stimulus to induce the concentration. The visual stimulus tasks were searching errors of propositional particle in several sentences. In the EEG signals, we specially focussed on SMR waves and mid-beta waves according to the results of a preceding research. Therefore we presented position of channel and frequency band of mid-beta significantly related to the concentration waves as the experimental results.

Identity recognition in real environment with a reliable mode is a key issue in human computer interaction (HCI). In this paper, we present a robust person identification system considering score-based optimal reliability measure of audio-visual modalities. We propose an extension of the modified reliability function by introducing optimizing parameters for both of audio and visual modalities. For degradation of visual signals, we have applied JPEG compression to test images. In addition, for creating mismatch in between enrollment and test session, acoustic Babble noises and artificial illumination have been added to test audio and visual signals, respectively. Local PCA has been used on both modalities to reduce the dimension of feature vector. We have applied a swarm intelligence algorithm, i.e., particle swarm optimization for optimizing the modified convection function's optimizing parameters. The overall person identification experiments are performed using VidTimit DB. Experimental results show that our proposed optimal reliability measures have effectively enhanced the identification accuracy of 7.73% and 8.18% at different illumination direction to visual signal and consequent Babble noises to audio signal, respectively, in comparison with the best classifier system in the fusion system and maintained the modality reliability statistics in terms of its performance; it thus verified the consistency of the proposed extension.

Background and Objectives: The integration of auditory-visual speech information improves speech perception; however, if the auditory system input is disrupted due to hearing loss, auditory and visual inputs cannot be fully integrated. Additionally, temporal coincidence of auditory and visual input is a significantly important factor in integrating the input of these two senses. Time delayed acoustic pathway caused by the signal passing through digital signal processing. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of hearing loss and hearing aid digital delay circuit on sound-induced flash illusion. Subjects and Methods: A total of 13 adults with normal hearing, 13 with mild to moderate hearing loss, and 13 with moderate to severe hearing loss were enrolled in this study. Subsequently, the sound-induced flash illusion test was conducted, and the results were analyzed. Results: The results showed that hearing aid digital delay and hearing loss had no detrimental effect on sound-induced flash illusion. Conclusions: Transmission velocity and neural transduction rate of the auditory inputs decreased in patients with hearing loss. Hence, the integrating auditory and visual sensory cannot be combined completely. Although the transmission rate of the auditory sense input was approximately normal when the hearing aid was prescribed. Thus, it can be concluded that the processing delay in the hearing aid circuit is insufficient to disrupt the integration of auditory and visual information.

Objective: To demonstrate that human visual illusion can contribute to sub-endocardial dark rim artifact in contrast-enhanced myocardial perfusion magnetic resonance images. Materials and Methods: Numerical phantoms were generated to simulate the first-passage of contrast agent in the heart, and rendered in conventional gray scale as well as in color scale with reduced luminance variation. Cardiac perfusion images were acquired from two healthy volunteers, and were displayed by the same gray and color scales used in the numerical study. Before and after k-space windowing, the left ventricle (LV)-myocardium boarders were analyzed visually and quantitatively through intensity profiles perpendicular the boarders. Results: k-space windowing yielded monotonically decreasing signal intensity near the LV-myocardium boarder in the phantom images, as confirmed by negative finite difference values near the board ranging -1.07 to -0.14. However, the dark band still appears, which is perceived by visual illusion. Dark rim is perceived in the in-vivo images after k-space windowing that removed the quantitative signal dip, suggesting that the perceived dark rim is a visual illusion. The perceived dark rim is stronger at peak LV enhancement than the peak myocardial enhancement, due to the larger intensity difference between LV and myocardium. In both numerical phantom and in-vivo images, the illusory dark band is not visible in the color map due to reduced luminance variation. Conclusion: Visual illusion is another potential cause of dark rim artifact in contrast-enhanced myocardial perfusion MRI as demonstrated by illusory rim perceived in the absence of quantitative intensity undershoot.

We propose an efficient method of de-interlacing in the post-pocessing of HDTV signal. Since the proposed method considers human visual weight, it gives the better performance in the edge information preservation than that of the median filter. The processing time of the proposed method is twice faster than median filter, therefore the proposed method is suitable for the real-time de-interlacing in the post-processing of HDTV signal.

In the life environment changed with not only the material abundance but also the quality, it is the most crucial factor for the strategy of sensibility engineering to investigate vital signal according to the sensibility. In this perspective, it is necessary to design and merchandise the products in cope with each sensibility and needs as well as its functional aspects. In this paper, we proposed the correlation between the visual sensibility and the vital signal using the wearable based electrocardiogram sensing clothes. We measured the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal by wearing the electrocardiogram sensing clothes. The heart rate variability (HRV) is calculated form the acquired ECG signal by wearing the electrocardiogram sensing clothes. And the power spectrum analysis using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is evaluated the correlation between the visual sensibility and the vital signal. we plan to conduct empirical applications to verify the adequacy and the validity of the proposed method.
