Image making for a person is a way to improve various factors that can express oneself, such as appearance, impression, and confidence. In general, people use mirror or camera as a traditional method to make their own image or perform presentation exercises. Recently, as smart mirrors are widely used in various fields, attempts to use smart mirrors as image making tools instead of mirrors have been frequently made. Smart Mirror is considered as a suitable tool to provide image making service because it can attach various devices such as a camera and a microphone in addition to the main advantage of a mirror that it is easily accessible. In this paper, we present BuddyMirror - a smart mirror software that provides image-making service to users, and a dedicated mobile app for flexibly running the mirror software. BuddyMirror provides functions for presentation, mock interview, and styling service at the request of users, interworking with the dedicated mobile app. We also describe the techniques developed for implementing and activating each of the new services as a module of MagicMirror, a widely used smart mirror development platform. The developed mobile app enables users to deliver presentations to BuddyMirror or to download the recorded video for image-making services.

The objective of this study was to determine the influence of women's attitudes toward women's underwear on image-creation efficacy and appearance management attitude. A total of 405 surveys of women working at an industrial complex in the Daegu-Kyoungbuk area were used for data analysis. Frequency, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and regression analysis were used for data analysis. The findings were as follows. The sub-factors of women's attitudes regarding women's underwear were found to be 'aesthetics/body-style compensation', 'ostentation', 'functionality', and 'manner estimation' and the sub-factors of image-making efficacy were 'display confidence', 'face-image confidence' and 'display ability'. Appearance management attitude had factors such as total coordination, weight management, skin management, and pursuit of change. Aesthetics/body-style compensation, functionality, and ostentation, which were sub-variables of attitudes toward underwear, had a significant influence on image-creation efficacy. Aesthetics/body-style compensation and ostentation had significant influences on appearance management attitude. Aesthetics/body-style compensation was found to have a significant influence on all sub-variables of both image-creation efficacy and appearance management attitude.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the concept of the photomontage technique, one of the various photographic techniques, and to analyze the photomontage image through the patterns that appeared in 1990's fashions. Moreover, by making clothes using the photomontage image, the intention of this study to apply the technique in real life is achieved. The results of this thesis for making clothes utilizing image of the photomontage are as followings. First, the photomontage expands the variety of materials that can be used, because the clothes using the photomontage image are able to take any photo images. Second, two different eras can co-exist in a piece of work since a photomontage work can uses two images from different eras. Third, it allows greater adaptability by expressing variety and utility in the making of the casual styles using conventional photo materials. The conclusion of this study is that the clothes appearing in the late 20th century using the photomontage image have been developed corresponding to the accelerated development of photography, machinery, and technical skill in civilization. Trends break away from the conventional expressions of art. This is a new trend and direction in art that will effect culture in the 21st century. The photo montage image would show the possibility of a good unification between human being and machines.

This study addressing the underlying strategies for Andong municipal museum complex development is in timely view that Andong has obtained a worldwide reputation as a treasury of traditional Korean Confucian culture. Thus far, there has been a tendency that various local museums are proposed to meet architectural aspirations architects and users commonly hold. Overall, though, the major role they play in making overall city image has not been considered in a systematic manner. Based on Lee's (2001) two previous studies, this study summarized the utility of cognitive distance and cognitive map concepts, which are proposed by Kevin Lunch (1976) to evaluate city image, in planning Andong municipal museum complex (AMMC). Sample is stratified into city residents and outsiders, and also into the general public and design-related professionals to see if there is any group difference in constructing their mental image. Three major findings are obtained. First, familiarity, so-called the degree of knowing, is the function of the length of stay in a designated area. That is, the longer people stay in Andong, the more likely they are familiar with its overall environmental aspects. Second, mental proximity of Andong municipal museum complex relative to existing cultural landmarks is closely related to the degree of how people value those landmarks in terms of their significance. Dosan Seowon and Hahoe folk village are most highly valued, which means higher proximity. Third, functional diversity turned out to be the most important design dimension, while display mechanism are least valued. Cognitive simulations of this sort are meaningful in that projected composite image might be a rough first approximation of true public image.

We designed a UV-LED exposure system which has 365nm dominant wavelength due to the environment-friendly and economical maskless screen plate making. And the photoresist applied on the screen stretched was exposed without mask by beam projector with UV-LED light source. Then it was developed by air spray with $1.7\;kgf/cm^2$ of injection pressure. The pencil hardness and solvent resistance of curing photoresist film were excellent as those of conventional photoresist film and the maximum resolution of line image formed by maskless screen plate making. was $100{\mu}m$, so we could establish the possibility of environment-friendly maskless screen plate making technology. But the sharpness of the patterns were ${\pm}40{\mu}m$ since the exposure system for maskless plate making has weak light intensity and the diffusion of light.

Most of past image processing systems have been designed independent of image contents. Now, evolving computation power is making the "image-dependent" elegant algorithms possible to get the better image renditions on display. This paper introduces our recent approaches to quality and pleasant imaging based on image-dependent. Three typical approaches to comfortable "Sharpness", "Lightness", and "Color" renditions on display image arc presented.

A characteristic of a region's environmental resources is the competitiveness of local agricultural products. This study explores methods of making locally produced agricultural products appealing to consumers. We looked at ways to appeal to consumers by using the image of environment resource and environment-agriculture product image congruence. The relationships of two dimensions of environmental image, perceived quality and purchase intention, are examined. From the results of the study, both the image of environment resource and environment-agriculture product image congruence have a positive effect on purchasing local agricultural products through perceived quality. This study tried to ascertain which of the two dimensions of the environmental image factor is more effective in terms of consumer appeal for local agricultural products. As a result, both the image of environment resource and environment-agricultural product image congruence are found to have a positive effect on the purchase intention of consumers through perceived quality. By comparing the paths of the two dimensions it is found that the method of appealing to consumers by using the environment-agriculture product image congruence is more effective. The results of this study present an effective method of making locally produced agricultural products appealing to consumers and suggest an effective strategic direction for selling local agricultural products.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the automatic decision-making on the rusty root of fresh ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) by an image analyzer. Critical value of rusty root of ginseng by image analyzing was the percentage of grey value 0∼148 area (G 148) to the total area of grey value 0∼255. And the discriminant formula of rusty root of ginseng as follows; rusty root of ginseng : 6.68$\times$G(148) +3.74, normal ginseng : 2.86$\times$G(148) +9.96, and fitness rates of this formula were 89.8%. Also, we developed the automatic rusty root of decision-making program. As the result of this study, the automatic decision-making on the rusty root of fresh ginseng by an image analyzer seems to have high possibility.
