Ubiquitous computing is a model of computing in which computer functions are integrated into everyday life, providing services and information in anywhere and anytime fashion. Augmented Reality is one of ubiquitous computing technologies to provide new paradigm utilized to interact between human and computer. By adding computer-generated non-visual information to real information and their interaction. user can get the improved and more knowledgeable information about real world. The purpose of this paper is the integration of AR and knowledge-base reasoning technology in ubiquitous computing. Through the introduced concept, it is enable to provide adequate knowledge in the process of ship design and manufacturing easily (Knowledge Everywhere). That is, this is a basic research to construct knowledge-based ubiquitous environment (KAD/KAM) in shipbuilding industry.

In this paper, we propose a vision based system employing two cameras to provide effective touch screen function. The two main processes - determining touch (or no-touch) and contact location of screen plane - are essential for enabling touch screen function. First region of interest is found by using color characteristic and histogram for determining the contact mode. Second, if the hand touches the mirror, the fingertip point in image is found using the correlation coefficient based on the mirror attribute. Subsequently, the fingertip coordinate in image is transformed to the location in mirror plane by using four predefined points (termed as four-point method) and bilinear transform. Representative experimental results show that the proposed system is suited to touch screen.

Realistic facial animation research field which communicates with human and computer using face has increased recently. The human face is the part of the body we use to recognize individuals and the important communication channel that understand the inner states like emotion. To provide the intelligent interface. computer facial animation looks like human in talking and expressing himself. Facial modeling and animation research is focused on realistic facial animation recently. In this article, we suggest the method of facial modeling and animation for realistic facial synthesis. We can make a 3D facial model for arbitrary face by using generic facial model. For more correct and real face, we make the Korean Generic Facial Model. We can also manipulate facial synthesis based on the physical characteristics of real facial muscle and skin. Many application will be developed such as teleconferencing, education, movies etc.

This paper describes a visualization technique that animates geometrical defect data that are extracted using a magnetic flux leakage (MFL) operating system on nondestructive evaluation (NDE). Since data are collected from different locations and often not regular, the data must be converted to the standard format that is used within the pipeline in visualization procedures. In order to navigate inside of the pipeline, 3D virtual objects are generated and are able to explore the pipeline continuously. The major objectives of this paper are to characterize, generate general shape of defects, and enable computer interaction in virtual environment. Pipeline navigation system (PNS) has introduced the framework for interactive visual applications based upon the principles of modeling 3D objects. PNS presents some preliminary efforts to enable the user to interact human and computer with each other.

In this paper we present a system that enables the user to interact with large display system even without touching the screen. With two infrared sensitive cameras mounted on the bottom left and bottom right of the display system pointing upwards, the user fingertip position on the selected region of interest of each camera view is found using vertical intensity profile of the background subtracted image. The position of the finger in two images of left and right camera is mapped to the display screen coordinate by using pre-determined matrices, which are calculated by interpolating samples of user finger position on the images taken by pointing finger over some known coordinate position of the display system. The screen is then manipulated according to the calculated position and depth of the fingertip with respect to the display system. Experimental results demonstrate an efficient, robust and stable human computer interaction.

Objective: This study presents an observation and analysis on behavioral characteristics of old users in comparison to young users in the use of control on display interface. Background: Touch interface which allows users to control directly on display, is conceived as delight and easy way of human-computer interaction. Due to the advantage in stimulus-response ensemble, the old users, who typically experiencing difficulties in interacting with computer, would expected to have better experience in using computing machines. Method: Twenty nine participants who are over 50 years old and 14 participants who are in 20s years old were participated in this study. Three primary tasks in touch interface, which are tap, move, and flick, were delivered by the users. For the tap task, response time and point of touch response were collected and the response bias was calculated for each trial. For the move task, delivery time and the distance of finger movements were recorded for each trial. For the flick task, task completion time and flicking distance were recorded. Results: From the collected behavioral data, temporal and spatial differences between young and old users behavior were analyzed. The older users showed difficulty in completing move task requiring eye-hand coordination.

This paper describes the design principles and structure of a prototype system for collaborative authoring over a wide area network. The system includes extensive support for commenting and comment review, facilities for document space navigation, and tools for controlling and monitoring work group activity, including document locking and activity recording. The operational prototype provides a testbed for the examination of human computer interaction, group interaction, group support, document structures, and the problem and the history of efforts to address it.

Gestures have been employed for human computer interaction to build more natural interface in new computational environments. In this paper, we describe our approach to develop a gesture interface using spatial context information. The proposed gesture interface recognizes a system action (e.g. commands) by integrating gesture information with spatial context information within a probabilistic framework. Two ontologies of spatial contexts are introduced based on the spatial information of gestures: gesture volume and gesture target. Prototype applications are developed using a smart environment scenario that a user can interact with digital information embedded to physical objects using gestures.

본 논문에서는 연속적으로 캠을 통해 들어오는 영상에서 특정색 적출하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 연구되어진 방법은 지시막대의 색상을 배경과 분리하고. 분리되어진 영역에서 지시막대의 크기를 추출하고, 추출된 영역에서 중심점을 찾는다 찾아진 중심점을 기준으로 하여 중심점 이동에 따라 마우스 포인터도 같이 이동되기 때문에 마우스나, 키보드 자판을 직접 손으로 제어하지 하고 포인터의 좌표 이동으로 제어 가능하도록 하여 보다 자유로운 자세에서의 발표를 유도하며, 보다 편리하고 손쉽게 사용할 수 있는 HCI(Human Computer Interaction)를 제안하였다.
