In this study, we conducted an empirical analysis using structural equation modeling (SEM) by distributing questionnaires to 208 Chinese tourists who constitute the largest proportion of foreign tourists visiting South Korea. The survey was conducted in a face to face (FTF) manner with the aim to contribute to globalization of Korean cuisine through comprehensive analysis of the effects of preference characteristics of Korean wave dramas on the relationship among images, attitudes, and purchase intentions for Korean cuisine. The main actor characteristics among the preference characteristics of Korean wave dramas had a significant effect on the attitudes and purchase intentions for Korean cuisine. However, the thematic characteristics among the preference characteristics of Korean wave dramas did not have a significant effect on the purchase intentions for Korean cuisine; in addition, the production characteristics did not have a significant effect on the attitudes and purchase intentions for Korean cuisine. The eco-friendly and health images of Korean cuisine had a significant effect on the purchase intentions for Korean cuisine, and the attitudes toward Korean cuisine significantly affected the purchase intentions for Korean cuisine. Based on the results of this study, it is considered necessary to continuously publicize Korean cuisine through Korean wave dramas to build positive attitudes toward Korean cuisine through enhanced images of Korean cuisine.

This study analyzes the images of models in womenswear advertisements targeting women in their fifties. The goals of this study are: 1) to investigate beauty ideals for middle-aged women by analyzing models’ look age, chronological age, wrinkles, gray hair, hair length, body type, and race; and 2) to explore how ageing is dealt with in advertisements by analyzing the range of bodies shown in advertisements, the color mode of photographs, and the clarity of models’ figures in relation to models’ look ages. A total of 155 printed advertisements from January 2012 to January 2017 from the brands Daks Ladies, Lebeige, Luciano Choi, PAT, and Zishen were selected for analysis. Womenswear brands targeting middle-aged women reinforce cultural ideals of female beauty that emphasize youth and slenderness. They do this by using thin and slender models, who most often appear to be in their twenties and thirties, and have hair longer than their shoulders. Brands with higher price ranges show a preference for Caucasian models, which reveals that a Caucasian identity is associated with sophistication. In addition, the bodies of models who appear to be in their forties and fifties were concealed by framing photographs mostly above the knees. Older models’ features were also obscured via the use of black and white photography, strong lighting and contrast, and digital editing that blurred the boundaries between figures and their backgrounds. These decisions for how to represent models could result in negative self-esteem and a denial of the symptoms of ageing among middle-aged women.

오늘날 예술에 있어서 공포의 표현은 인간성의 상실, 환경의 파괴, 인간관계에서의 소통의 부 재 등을 소재로 여러 분야에서 나타나고 있다. 예술작품에 표현된 공포 이미지에 대한 인간의 감정은 사회적, 외부 환경적, 심리, 유전적 원인 등으로 다양하게 나타날 수 있다. 특히 여러 예술 장르 중 영화는 이러한 공포 유발의 원인들을 표현하기 위해 이야기(내용)와 영상이미지(형식)를 함께 사용하게 된다. 이러한 표현 방식은 관객의 공포를 극대화시키는 효과를 갖게 된다. 따라서 공포영화에 있어 공포를 유발하는 이미지는 매우 중요한 관객 수용의 요인이 될 수 있다. 하지만 그럼에도 불구하고 공포영화의 이미지와 표현방법에 대한 관객 인식유형의 연구는 현재까지 많 이 이루어지지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 질적 방법론 중 하나인 Q방법론을 사용하여 공포 영화 속 혐오성 이미지에 대한 수용자의 주관적 감정의 상태와 유형을 분석해 보았다. 그 결과 다음과 같은 3가지 인식 유형을 도출할 수 있었다. 먼저 신체적 가해에 대한 공포 감정을 느끼는 유형이 다. 이 유형은 잔인함 혹은 신체적 가해로 인해 나타나는 불안함을 공포의 감정으로 표출하고 있다. 다음으로 낯섦에 대한 공포는 알려지지 않는 악령이나 초자연적 현상 혹은 여성에 대해 두려움을 느끼고 있는 유형이다. 마지막으로 기형적 혐오성에 대해 공포를 느끼고 있는 유형은 이질적인 것들 인간과 다른 괴물이나 외계 생명체에 대해 공포의 감정을 갖고 있는 유형이다. 이러한 분석으로 도출되는 가설을 바탕으로 추후 계량적 방법론을 통한 연구가 추가적으로 수행 된다면 더욱 더 유의미한 연구결과를 도출해 낼 수 있을 것이다.

Cryptography is a science to maintain the security of the message by changing data or information into a different form, so the message cannot be recognized. Today, many algorithms have been proposed for image encryption, but the chaotic encryption methods have a good combination of speed and high security. In recent years, the chaos based cryptographic algorithms have suggested some new and efficient ways to develop secure image encryption techniques. The chaos-based encryption schemes are composed of two steps: chaotic confusion and pixel diffusion. In the chaotic confusion stage, a combination of the chaotic maps is used to realize the confusion of all pixels. In this paper, we first give a brief introduction into chaotic image encryption and then we investigate some important properties and behaviour of the logistic map. The logistic map, aperiodic trajectory, or random-like fluctuation, could not be obtained with some choice of initial condition. Therefore, a noisy logistic map with an additive system noise is introduced. The proposed scheme is based on the extended map of the Clifford strange attractor, where each dimension has a specific role in the encryption process. Two dimensions are used for pixel permutation and the third dimension is used for pixel diffusion. In order to optimize the Clifford encryption system we increase the space key by using the noisy logistic map and a novel encryption scheme based on the Clifford attractor and the noisy logistic map for secure transfer images is proposed. This algorithm consists of two parts: the noisy logistic map shuffle of the pixel position and the pixel value. We use times for shuffling the pixel position and value then we generate the new pixel position and value by the Clifford system. To illustrate the efficiency of the proposed scheme, various types of security analysis are tested. It can be concluded that the proposed image encryption system is a suitable choice for practical applications.

This study aims to acquire basic data for creating a new landscape forest by examining and analyzing both current and desired images of a forest in a rural neighborhood park. Regarding the forest in Janggye Neighborhood Park, located in Janggye-myeon, Jangsu-gun, Jeollabuk-do Province, this study conducted a questionnaire, using one-on-one interviews, to survey residents in Janggye-myeon who visited the park, and a total of 58 questionnaire copies were used for analysis. The current image about the forest was analyzed as giving a common and non-mysterious impression, and the subjects did not notice seasonal changes very much. Overall, the residents had negative images about the current forest. The desired image of the forest is a forest that is amiable, beautiful, comfortable, safe, and pleasant. A t-test was conducted to identify differences between the current image and the desire image, and its results showed that there were significant differences in most variables. The factor group implying the forest image consists of fascination dimension and diversity dimension. When factor scores of the current image and the desired image were compared, there were bigger differences in the fascination dimension scores than in the diversity dimension scores. As a result, it is drew that it would be much more effective to prioritize images related to fascination dimension in creating a forest landscape in Janggye Neighborhood Park.

The study investigates the effect of different types of visual images, i.e., static images versus dynamic images, on English vocabulary learning. Eighty-four students in the fourth grade of an elementary school participated in this study, and they were divided into two experimental groups and a control group. One of the experimental groups utilized static images, and the other group, videos as dynamic images in vocabulary learning. The control group was provided with the definition or the explanation of each target word in L1. The results of the study manifested that the static image group showed higher scores for the post test than the dynamic image group. The comparison of the pre and post affective tests demonstrated that the static image group showed an improvement in confidence in language learning and the dynamic image group showed positive change in the attitude of all three areas: interest, confidence, and aroused motivation. The analysis of the open-ended questionnaires showed that many participants in the static image group tended to use pictures as retrieval cues to remember vocabulary.

OBJECTIVES : Visibility at night can be improved by using retroreflection for short distances and phosphorescent line markings for long distances. In this study, we analyzed the characteristics of the phosphorescent line marking through a laboratory luminance test. Field performance analysis was performed through tests conducted on the road. We also examined the luminance measurement methods using the digital image obtained during the phosphorescent visibility evaluation. METHODS : In this study, the laboratory luminance test of the phosphorescent line marking was conducted using seven specimens to characterize the luminance changes according to the type of the glass beads, the thickness of the phosphorescent line marking, and the brightness and irradiation time of the light source. Phosphorescent and general line markings were made at 150 m to investigate the field luminance performance. A preliminary review of the luminance measurement methods was made using a digital image from a digital singlelens reflex (DSLR) camera. The measured luminance ratio of the general and the phosphorescent line markings was compared with the calculated luminance ratio using luminance analysis. RESULTS: Through the laboratory luminance test, it was seen that the change in luminance, which corresponds to the brightness of the light source, appears large but the influence of the thickness and irradiation time is low. The field performance test of the phosphorescent line marking conducted on the road involved measuring the luminance on the day the marking was made and 7 days after the marking was made. The luminance was found to be 190 mcd/m2 at 30 min after sunset and approximately 10-12 mcd/m2 4h after sunset. The results of the luminance test were captured using a digital image for each time group. The luminance ratio of the phosphorescent line marking, when compared to that of the general line marking, showed a similar trend within a 13% maximum error. Additionally, when this luminance ratio is compared to the direct field measurement, it could be confirmed that the luminance ratio, as captured in the digital image, showed a similar tendency. CONCLUSIONS : 1) The change in luminance corresponding to the brightness of the light source is significant in comparison with that corresponding to the thickness and the irradiation time. In addition, the results of the field test for the phosphorescent line marking satisfied the phosphorescent fire protection standard. 2) We examined the validity of the luminance measurement method using a digital image and we concluded that the change in the luminance ratio shows a similar tendency in both the cases. The results can form the basis for luminance measurement methodology for the construction and maintenance of phosphorescent line markings.

Omni-directional high dynamic range images are used in image-based lighting or environment mapping. In game development environment high dynamic images can be used with shader assets. Recently various 360 VR camera systems are produced which can capture omni-directional images or video images without extra image stitching. In game development environment, shader assets or assets for shaders can be made along very time-consuming complex processes. In this paper, we proposed more simple and autonomous conversion system which can use directly in Unity.

A common approach adopted in the practice of advertising photography in Hong Kong is about using celebrity, pleasant environment and astonishing visual effect but the photographs so taken may not convince audience. As such, this paper attempts to formulate a new approach to incorporating concept development, visual statement and photographic composition.

블레이크 시학에서 시인의 임무는 타락한 영혼을 깨우치도록 하는 것이다. 『경험의 노래』에 등장하는 시적 화자는 물에 젖은 해안가에 서있으며, 『엘비언 딸 들의 예견』에서는 엘비언의 딸들이 비상하는 우순을 해안가에서 올려다본다. 여기서 물의 이미지는 시인의 고통과 갈등, 주저함과 꿈, 억압과 욕망과 같은 시적 세계를 보여주는 모티브이다. 바슐라르의 상상력에 따르면, “물은 우리에 게 하나의 육체와 혼과 목소리를 가지고 있는 전체적 존재로서 나타난다”고 한 다. 물은 항상 흐르고 아래로 떨어지며, 죽음으로 끝난다. 본 논문에서는 블레이 크의 시에 드러난 물의 이미지를 통하여 시인이 꿈꾸는 새로운 인식의 과정을 탐색해 본다. 블레이크의 시에서 “물에 젖은 해안”과 “이슬 젖은 풀밭,” “차가운 안개,” “물에 사는 풀,” “비밀의 눈물”과 같은 물의 이미지는 억압과 자유, 그리 고 인간존재와 타락한 영혼을 보여주는 시적 현실이다. “물의 물질적 상상력은 위기에 처해있다”는 바슐라르의 지적처럼 물의 이미지는 인물이 처해있는 주저 함과 인식의 한계상황을 잘 보여준다.

The purpose of this study was to identify images of saleswomen by uniform and body type and to determine if the images have an effect on customer satisfaction and revisiting intention. This study was conducted between February 10th and February 23rd 2015, using a questionnaire to collect data from 608 adults from Seoul, Deajeon, and Chungnam Province. A 2×2 (body type×clothes) factorial experimental design was used. Frequency, factor, and reliability analysis, analysis of variance, one-way ANOVA, Tukey test, and multiple regression analysis methods were used to analyze data. The study results were as follows: First, images of saleswomen with different uniform and body types were classified based on the following three factors: professionalism, kindness and attractiveness. Second, the saleswomen's uniforms had significant impact on perceived attractiveness, with women who wore skirt suits being identified as more attractive than women with pant suits. The saleswomen's body types had significant effect on professionalism, kindness and attractiveness. Women with average body types were perceived positively in terms of professionalism and attractiveness, whilst women with large body types were perceived positively in terms of kindness. Third, the combination of uniform and body type had a significant effect on perceived professionalism. Women with average body types wearing pant suits were perceived to have high degree of professionalism and women with large body types wearing skirt suits were evaluated to have high professionalism. Fourth, the images described as attractive and kind for both uniform and body type had a positive influences on customer satisfaction and revisiting intention.

This study investigated the preference of sensibility expression factors regarding fashion materials, such as the color, pattern and texture of fabric. Moreover, this study analyzed the relationship between the preference of sensibility expression factors and the preference of fashion images by identifying the preference of fashion images. The survey subjects were 312 women ranging in age from 20 to 40 years old. This study utilized a questionnaire as a measurement tool. First, this study performed a factorial analysis on the preference of sensibility expression factors of fashion materials. In regards to color preference, this study considered color depth such as light tone color, moderate tone color, dark tone color and vivid tone color. In regards to pattern preference, this study examined: geometric pattern, floral pattern, animal skins pattern, check pattern and symbolical pattern. In regard to preference of the texture, this study assessed: roughness, luster, flatness and lightness. Second, this study performed a factorial analysis on the preference of fashion images. This study examined five factors: dignity, uniqueness, femininity, activity and simplicity. Third, this study analyzed the effects of the preference of sensibility expression factors of fashion materials on the preference of fashion images. As a result, the color preference was related to the image preference associated with dignity, femininity and simplicity, whereas the pattern preference was related to the images of uniqueness, femininity, activity and simplicity. Moreover, the preference of texture image was related to the images of dignity, uniqueness, femininity and activity.

We study the radio properties at 1.4 GHz of Seyfert galaxies with strong forbidden highionization lines (FHILs), selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey – a large-sized sample containing nearly equal proportion of diverse range of Seyfert galaxies showing similar redshift distributions compiled by Gelbord et al. (2009) using the Very Large Array survey images. The radio detection rate is low, 49%, which is lower than the detection rate of several other known Seyfert galaxy samples. These galaxies show low star formation rates and the radio emission is dominated by the active nucleus with ≤10% contribution from thermal emission, and possibly, none show evidence for relativistic beaming. The radio detection rate, distributions of radio power, and correlations between radio power and line luminosities or X-ray luminosity for narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1), Seyfert 1 and Seyfert 2 galaxies are consistent with the predictions of the unified scheme hypothesis. Using correlation between radio and [O III]  5007°A luminosities, we show that ∼8% sample sources are radio-intermediate and the remaining are radio-quiet. There is possibly an ionization stratification associated with clouds on scales of 0.1–1.0 kpc, which have large optical depths at 1.4GHz, and it seems these clouds are responsible for free–free absorption of radio emission from the core; hence, leading to low radio detection rate for these FHIL-emitting Seyfert galaxies.

Background: Diffusion weighted imaging which is clinically useful in the differential diagnosis of the benign and malignant thyroid nodules needs a distortion improvement as thyroid is located just below the skin which causes the susceptibility artifact on the image. Purpose: To reduce susceptibility induced distortion for diffusion weighted MRI(DWI) in the thyroid by compensating the anatomic geometry with the material similar to human tissue density and provide images with a better diagnostic value. Materials and methods: An exam was performed to select the most effective material in reducing the susceptibility difference between tissue and air by using the self produced phantom. On the basis of the result, the selected material was processed and the thyroid diffusion weighted images were acquired to estimate the optimum thickness comparing the distortion and error rate variation of the magnetic susceptibility. Results: As a result of the phantom experiment sulfur, borax, normal saline, silicon pad, flour, air, silicon and graphite were effective in reducing the tissue and air susceptibility differences in order. In the post analysis borax, sulfur, flour and silicone pad had no significant difference in reducing the tissue and air susceptibility differences. Considering the magnetic field becomes uneven at the both edges inside the MRI bore, the experiment was performed by dividing the phantoms into three sections (upper, mid and lower). The susceptibility difference was statistically same among the three sections. In the post analysis using the air as reference borax, sulfur and silicon pad showed little susceptibility difference than the air. The selection of the materials were performed using the Likert 5 point scaling, where the silicon pad was proved as the most effective material. Based on this, the silicone pad was engaged on the patients’ neck. The images obtained after application of the silicone pad showed less error and distortion on both lobes of thyroid and it was statistically meaningful. As a result of the variance analysis the optimum thickness of the silicon pad was 2cm as it was not statistically significant over 2cm on the both lobes. Conclusion: In conclusion, the use of a silicon pad can significantly improve the diagnostic value of the MRI image by compensating the complex magnetic environment commonly encountered in clinical thyroid imaging, not affecting the image contrast.

Before analyzing the images taken with a Mosaic CCD imager, the images have to reach a state which can be used for further scientic analysis. The transformation of raw images into calibrated images is called data reduction. Transforming HEavely Light into Images (THELI) is a nearly fully automated reduction pipeline software (Erben et al., 2005). This pipeline works on raw images to remove instrumental signatures, mask unwanted signals, and perform photometric and astrometric calibration. Finally THELI constructs a deep co-added mosaic image and a weight map. In this poster, THELI data reduction procedures will be reviewed and the reduction process for raw images of seven X-ray bright groups, extracted from GEMS groups (Osmond & Ponman, 2004) obtained by the Wide Field Imager (WFI) mounted on MPG/ESO telescope at La Silla in March 2006 will be discussed.

This study aims to compare and analyze the differences of emotional responses between two types of e-magazines published—one with cinemagraph images and another with general still images. To conduct this study, a total of nine pages were prepared with different contents according to each theme and samples of e-magazine with a total of nineteen sections of images were exposed to a total of thirty persons of subjects. Fifteen persons were assigned to the experimental group viewing the cinemagraph images, and other fifteen persons were assigned to the control group viewing the general still images. As a result of the experiment, the emotional responses of the experimental group and the control group were significantly different. Twenty-eight items of positive emotional responses out of forty-two items of the emotional responses were more found in the experimental group, and fourteen items of negative emotional responses affected the control group more. In the experimental group where the differences in the mean value and significant differences were found, negative emotional responses were not examined but fourteen positive emotional response items such as Loveliness, Merriness, Freshness, Activeness, Attractiveness, Powerfulness, Heartwarming, Joyfulness, Interesting, Confidence, Excitement, Cheerfulness, Humorousness, and Amazement were found; in the control group, positive emotional responses were not found but three items of negative emotional responses such as Ambiguousness, Stuffiness, and Boredom were found.

This paper examines advertising images of fashion brands in vertical social network site (SNS) from the viewpoints of message strategies. Vertical social network sites are types of social curation systems applied to social networking, where information is selected, organized, and maintained. Fashion brands communicate with consumers by presenting images on vertical SNSs, anticipating improvements in brand image, popularity, and loyalty. Those images portray content for particular brands and seasonal concepts, thus creating paths for product sales information. Marketing via SNSs corresponds to relationship marketing, which refers to long-term interrelationship and value augmentation between the company and consumer, and viral advertising, which relies on word of mouth distribution via social network platforms. Taylor’s six-segment message strategy wheel, often used for analyzing viral ads, was applied to conduct a content analysis of the images. A total of 2,656 images of fashion brands advertised on Instagram were selected and analyzed. Results indicated that brand values were somewhat related to the number of followers. Follower rankings and comment rankings were also correlated. In general, fashion brands projected sensory messages most often. Acute need and rational messages were less common than other messages. Sports brands and luxury brands presented sensory messages, whereas fast fashion brands projected routine images most often. Fashion brands promoted on vertical SNSs should portray advertising images that combine message strategies.
