The purpose of the present research was to investigate (I) the acquisition of character constancy of self and others as a function of age; (2) the pattern of acquisition of character constancy, and (3) the relationships between character constancy and conservation of number and mass. The subjects of this study were 160 children, 20 boys and 20 girls at each grade level, kindergarter through grade 3. The Character Constancy Tasks devised bi Rotenberg (1982) and conservation task of number and mass were administered to each child. Chi square, Guttman Scale analysis and Pearson's Correlation were used for the statistical analysis of data. The findings showed that there was increase with age in character constancy of others and of sell in that there was increase with age in children's belief that the characteristics of another person are stable across time and consistent despite changes in a person's appearance. Character constancy of others and of self were acquired in the developmental stages of identity, stability, and consistency. Character constancy of others and self correlated with the conservation of number and mass.

Seneca, the most influential classical Stoic and Justus Lipsius, the founder of Renaissance Stoicism suggest constancy, an unmovable strength of the steadfast mind based on reason and sound judgment, as a practical way or attitude in life full of both public and private evils. As a member of the Sidney family, Wroth is very much likely to have been influenced in molding her concept of constancy by Senecan and Lipsian Stoicism, which was introduced into England through Sir Philip Sidney's friendship with Lipsius. This paper explores Wroth's concept of constancy in Urania as a Stoic ideal in the context of the major Stoic writings of Seneca and Lipsius. While the titular character of the romance Urania shows some inherent attributes of Stoic constancy from the beginning of the romance, Pamphilia as the pattern of constancy gradually perfects the virtue through the ordeals of her love of Amphilanthus and her queenship. Her frequent retirements into private and secluded places are the essential occasions for her disciplining in Stoic constancy through self-examinations of her psychological and emotional disorders and poetry writing. Amphilanthus, a constantly inconstant lover, fully understands the importance of constancy in love as well in life only after his marriage to another woman and Pamphilia's marriage to another man. At the end of the romance they come to accept the vicissitudes of life in Stoic constancy. In Urania, Wroth transforms the strongly masculine Stoic constancy into a female heroic ideal. Thereby she presents those female characters as important political, ethical and cultural subjects and their constancy as a thread through the labyrinths of love and life.

This article presents a reformulation of the Grey Edge framework for colour constancy. Colour constancy is the ability of a visual system to perceive objects' colours independently of their scenes' illuminants. Colour constancy algorithms try to estimate the colour of an illuminant from image values. This estimation can later be used to correct the image as though it were taken under a white illuminant. The modification presented allows the framework to incorporate image-specific filters instead of the commonly used edge detectors. A colour constancy algorithm is proposed using PCA and FastICA linear component analyses methods for the construction of such filters. The results show that the proposed method improves the accuracies of the Grey Edge framework algorithms whilst on the other hand, achieving comparable accuracies with the state-of-the-art methods, but improving their time efficiencies.

The purpose of this study was to investigate (1) the developmental level of children's concept of gender by age and sex. (2) children's sex-specific behaviors by age and sex, and (3) children's sex-specific behaviors by developmental level of gender constancy. The subjects were 164 children (forty 3-year-olds, forty-three 5-year-olds, forty 7-year-olds and forty-one 9-year olds) with nearly equal numbers of boys and girls. They were selected from two kindergartens and one elementary school. A quasi experiment was carried out with the procedures described by Slaby and Frey (1976) to measure children's developmental level of the concept of gender constancy. Two experiments were carried out to observe children's sex-specific behaviors: one for children's toy choice behavior and the other for children's interaction with their peers. Statistical methods adopted for data analysis were frequencies. percentiles, mean. and $X^2$. It was found that children's sex-specific behaviors were different according to their developmental level of gender constancy. Children's developmental level of gender constancy was significantly different according to their age, but there was no difference according to their sex. Children's toy-choice behavior was significantly different according to their age and sex. Children's sex-specific behaviors were significantly different according to their concept of gender constancy.

Color image is largely corrupted by various ambient illumination. However, human perceives always white color as white under any illumination because of a characteristic of human vision, called color constancy. In the conventional algorithm which applied the constancy effect, after the RGB color space is transformed to the IHS(Intensity, Hue, and Saturation) color space, then the hue is preserved and the intensity or the saturation is properly enhanced. Then the enhanced IHS color is reversely transformed to the RGB color space. In this process, the color distortion is included due to the color gamut error. But in the proposed algorithm, there is not transformation. In that, the RGB color is considered as 3 dimensional color vector and we assume that white color is the natural daylight. As the color vector of the illumination can be calculated as the average vector of R, G, and B image, we can achieve the constancy effect by simply rotating the illumination vector to the white color vector. The simulation results show the efficiency of the vector rotating process for color image enhancement.

In [1] L. Nirenberg constructed a famous example of a smooth vector field which have only the constant functions as solutions in an open subset of the plane. Explanations of this phenomenon have been proposed in Treves [3] and Sjostrand [2]. The explanation in [3] is related to the following so-called "local constancy principle".ple".uot;.

영상에서 피부색은 얼굴 영상 기반의 검출 및 인식 시스템에서 중요한 단서로 사용되지만 영상 획득시의 광원에 따라 상이하게 표현되기 때문에 사용의 어려움이 있다. 이러한 문제를 위해 본 논문에서는 Retinex, Gray World, White Patch, Simplified Horn, Shades of grey, 그리고 Edge-Based color constancy 색 항등성 기법을 대상으로 피부색 복원에 관한 성능을 비교하고, 자연 영상을 이용하여 피부색 검출 성능을 평가한다. 이를 위해 Caltech Face Database의 영상들에 유색 광원의 효과를 부가하여 생성된 실험 영상을 생성했다. 이후 각 기법에 따른 피부색 복원의 일관성을 수치적으로 평가하기 위하여 Cb-Cr 히스토그램을 기반으로 결과 영상들의 표준편차를 계산하였으며, 피부색 검출 성능 실험을 위해서 YCbCr과 RGB 기반의 경출 기법을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 Gray World 기법은 타 기법에 비해 높은 성능을 나타냈으며, 색 항등성 기법의 적용을 통해 광원의 영향을 받은 피부색을 색 공간내의 일정한 범위로 복원하는 것이 가능하였다.

고선명 영상에 대한 수요가 증가하면서 다양한 방면에서 좀 더 선명하고 큰 영상을 보고 촬영하려는 요구가 늘어나고 있다. 특히 디스플레이 장치의 크기가 커지고 이에 따라 영상의 해상도가 커지면서 영상에서 나타나는 잡음이나 화질 저하가 이전에 비하여 더욱 더 눈에 띄게 나타나게 되었다. 본 논문에서 고선명 영상과 같이 해상도가 큰 영상의 색상과 명암 대비를 효과적이고 빠르게 개선하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 고해상도 영상에서 처리 속도를 높이면서 효과적으로 화질 향상 방법을 적용하기 위해 고해상도 영상을 축소시킨 영상에서 화질 향상 방법에 필요한 변수를 추출해낸다. 영상의 색상을 향상시키기 위해 기존의 색채 항상성 방법을 개선시킨 방법을 적용하였고 명암 대비를 향상시키기 위해 경계 영역을 활용한 변형 히스토그램 평활화 방법을 적용하였다. 마지막으로 고해상도 영상을 촬영할 수 있는 디지털 캠코더를 이용하여 촬영한 실험 영상으로 제안하는 방법의 성능을 분석하였다.

In this study of the relationship between preschoolers' visual perception and reading Hangul words, the 287 participants showed significant developmental change in visual perception between three to five years of age. The researcher developed the computer-based screening Test of Visual Perception for Reading (TVPR). Factor analysis confirmed three factors of TVPR : perception of number, direction, and form constancy. These factors correlated highly with four factors of motor-reduced visual perception of the Korean Developmental Test of Visual Perception (Moon et al. 2003). All factors of TVPR explained reading real words and pseudo words; direction and form constancy perception predicted reading low frequency letters. These findings confirm that preschoolers' skills in visual perception contribute to the reading of words in Hangul.
