HTTP adaptive streaming has recently emerged to handle the rapidly growing traffic and to provide high quality multimedia contents. To improve the QoE (Quality of Experience) for HTTP adaptive streaming service, the average video bitrate should be maximized, and the video switching frequency (difference of bitrate between adjacent segments) and video stalling events need to be minimized. The recently proposed quality adaptation algorithms for HTTP adaptive streaming do not provide high QoE, since detailed QoE factors such as video switching frequency and bitrate difference of adjacent segments, are not considered. In this paper, we propose a SQA (Smooth Quality Adaptation) algorithm to improve the user QoE. The proposed algorithm provides the smoothed QoE, such that it minimizes the unnecessary video switching events by maintaining the quality in a certain period, thus minimizing the bitrate difference of adjacent segments. Through simulation, we confirm that the proposed algorithm reduces the unnecessary switching events, and prevents the sudden decrease in video quality.

Three-dimensional multimedia industry such as 3D TV, movie and broadcast has been developed vividly. For generating 3D contents with high quality, virtual auditory display, so called VAD, is being researched to offer more realistic experience to listeners. When people render VAD using headphones or two speakers, head-related transfer function(HRTF) plays a key role. The best solution is measuring all individuals' HRTFs, but it is hard to measure all listeners' HRTFs. To overcome this difficulty, many research groups have tried to construct their own measurement system and to build HRTF databases. However, some of them have not enough subjects or spatial resolution and they are mainly focused on Caucasian. There exists difference between Korean and Caucasian in a view of physical features. In other words, if Koreans hear three-dimensional sound rendered by HRTF database based on Caucasian, performance might be hindered. To verify this possibility and remedy the drawbacks, construction of new HRTF database aimed at Korean is needed. Therefore, our laboratory built HRTF measurement system which can measure HRTF of three-dimensional space with dense spatial resolution. With this system, 55 Korean males and 45 females' HRTFs were measured and Korean HRTF database was built based on these data.

In this paper, we developed an efficient virtual experiment kit with creative and interactive multimedia contents, which can be used to enhance the quality of education in the area of digital logic circuits. Since our virtual experiment kit is implemented to describe the on-campus laboratory, the learners can obtain similar experimental data through it. Also, our web-based virtual experiment kit is designed to enhance the efficiency of both the learners and the educators. The learners will be able to achieve high learning standard and the educators save time and labor. The virtual experiment is performed according to the following procedure: (1) Circuit Composition on the Bread Board (2) Applying Input Voltage (3) Output Measurements (4) Checkout of Experiment Results. Furthermore, the circuit composition on the bread board and its corresponding online schematic diagram are displayed together on the virtual experiment kit for the learner's convenience. Finally, we have obtained several affirmative effects such as reducing the total experimental hours and the damage rate for experimental equipments and increasing learning efficiencies as well as faculty productivity.

Since 1995 local newspapers competitively commenced the service of multimedia electronic newspaper on Internet WWW due to the technical development in data processing and the widely used Internet. It includes image, phonetics and moving pictures as well as texts. The Internet service of newspaper articles are not only the information source which enables the users utilize the various information easily and rapidly but also to be an important reference service tools in the library. Howeverjn many cases. the current local electronic newspaper service aims at the service itself. Therefore, the information does not contain plenty of information. In some cases, information searching system focused on the users are not established yet. In this research, structuring process and characteristics of the Internet WWW electronic newspaper and the current service status and contents of the local newspaper have been reviewed. Construction of menu, information searching system and reference mannual for users of 6 local newspapers have been analyzed to secure efficient service for users.

With the advance of the environment where we can get various multimedia contents, adult image detection has become an important issue these days. In this paper, we suggest a method of robustly detecting navel areas from input images which can be usefully utilized in adult image detection. The suggested algorithm first extracts face regions and extracts candidate nipple areas using a nipple map. Our method then selects only actual nipple regions by filtering candidate areas with geometrical features and an average nipple filter. Subsequently, the method robustly detects navel areas by using the structural relation with the nipple areas and applying edge and saturation images. Experimental results show that the suggested algorithm can effectively detect navel regions.

Due to the development and wide use of digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) and Wireless Broadband Internet (WiBro), the digital contents industry using images has been progressed. Therefore, the image processing has been applied in a variety of fields and in order to transmit and conserve accurate information, the degradation phenomenon for images should be removed. As a representative cause of the degradation phenonenon, noise has become known and Gaussian noise occurs in the process of transmission. Diverse researches for Gaussian noise removal have been implemented and a great number of algorithms have been proposed until now. In this paper, for mage restoration an algorithm using the adaptive threshold value is proposed in Gaussian noise environment and the threshold value is established by using the histogram of edge image. And from simulation results, the noise removal performance of the proposed method is proven using mean square error (MSE) and peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR).

Social bookmarking is one of the most interesting trends in the current web environment. In a social bookmarking system, users annotate a web page with tags, which describe the contents of the page. Numerous studies have been done using this information, mostly on enhancing the quality of web search. In this paper, we use this information to measure the semantic similarity between two web pages. Since web pages consist of various types of multimedia data, it is quite difficult to compare the semantics of two web pages by comparing the actual data contained in the pages. With the help of social bookmarks, this comparison can be performed very effectively. In this paper, we propose a new similarity measure between web pages, called Web Page Similarity Based on Entire Tags (WSET), based on social bookmarks. The experimental results show that the proposed measure yields more satisfactory results than the previous ones.
