Since seasonal changes, blooming of a flower, etc., which take place in accordance with passage of time, transpire over an extended duration of time, one performs the Time-Lapse so that one can watch them quickly by compressing time. Because such a Time-Lapse records a wide range of conditions including the place, angle of view, and time found in a natural state in accordance with a precise interval of time and in the samestate, it is also referred to as Interval recording. The Time-Lapse technique is used widely in various fields such as education, science, documentary, and the media. In terms of acquiring a Time-Lapse image, by making it possible for one to treat an image by deleting and adjusting unnecessary backgrounds excluding the main subject for photography such as the flower unlike existing methods and by making it possible for one to apply extensively the real-life recorded image as a library or image data in 2D or 3D, the present study seeks to propose a technique for the background treatment of Time-Lapse image that allows for everyone to bestow creativity to image production easily and conveniently.

A web-based camera (webcam) is expected to enhance construction operation monitoring. However, webcams are often installed outside a building because their mobility is limited by cable wiring, which makes it difficult to monitor construction operations inside the building. If a webcam is integrated with emerging wireless communication technologies, construction professionals may be able to monitor interior construction operations using webcams without getting network cables wired on a congested and dynamic construction job site. However, one may concern that wireless communication may not be fast enough to transport all webcam images seamlessly. This paper presents an investigation as to the observation error of webcam images when a limited amount of images are delivered.

The lane-change behavior usually consists of discretionary lane-change and mandatory lane-change types. For the first type, drivers change lanes selectively to maintain their own driving condition and the second type is the case that the drivers must change the current lane, which can occur in recurrent congestion sections like merging and weaving sections. The mandatory lane-change behavior have a great effect on the operation condition of freeway. In this paper, we first generate data such as traffic volumes, speeds, densities, and the number of lane-change within the merging and weaving sections using the data of individual vehicle collected from time-lapse aerial photography. And then, the data is divided into the stable and congested flow by analyzing the speed variation pattern of individual vehicles. In addition, the number of lane-changing from ramp to mainline within every 30-meter interval is investigated before and after traffic congestion at study sites and the distribution of lane-changing at each 30-meter point is analyzed to identify the variation of lane-changing ratio depending on the stable and congested flows. To recognize the effect of mainline flow influenced by ramp flow, this study also analyzes the characteristics of the lane-changing distributions within the lanes of mainline. The purpose of this paper is to present the basic theory to be used in developing a lane-changing model at the merging and weaving sections on freeways.
