Abstract:
A water ring decoding apparatus configured to process a data string into a restored data set, such as a video image frame, is disclosed. The restored data set is organized with at least one restored origin enveloped by a plurality of nested restored environs successively surrounding each other in the restored data set. The decoder is configured to write the data string into the restored data set by starting at the RC group corresponding to the restored origin (restored water ring (0)) and by sequentially progressing outwardly from the family of RC groups corresponding to the nearest nested restored environ (restored water ring (1)) towards the family of RC groups corresponding to a furthest nested restored environ (restored water ring (n)).
Abstract:
The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for suppressing angiogenesis, containing heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) or a nucleic acid encoding HSP27. In addition, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer, containing HSP27 or a nucleic acid encoding HSP27. Additionally, the present invention provides a method of suppressing the in vitro growth of endothelial cells using HSP27. Further, the present invention provides a method of screening an active material for suppressing angiogenesis or an active material for treating cancer, comprising the following steps: processing endothelial cell lines into samples, respectively; measuring the content of HSP27 in an endothelial cell line; and selecting the sample in which the content of HSP27 in an endothelial cell line is increased compared with a control group.
Abstract:
A water ring scanning apparatus and method, and an apparatus and method for encoding/decoding video sequences using the same are disclosed. A water ring scanning apparatus includes: a preferential scan unit for scanning information on a water ring origin point (water_ring(0)) in an image frame, which is a most significant bit of the image frame to be preferentially scanned; a scan location decision unit for deciding a location of i_th generated water ring (water_ring(i)), which is a rectangular-shape ring surrounding the water ring origin point; and a scan unit for scanning information on the location of the i_th generated water ring.
Abstract:
Provided are intelligent water ring scan apparatus and method thereof, image encoding/decoding apparatus using the water ring scanning and method thereof, and a computer-readable recording medium for recording a program that implements the methods. The apparatus or method of this research selectively improves the image quality of a particular image part that needs to be encoded with priority by transmitting the image data of the particular image part suitably for a human visual system so as to provide a visually improved image. The encoding apparatus of this research differentiates the amount of image data depending on the significance of a certain image part to process the image in various qualities suitably for the human visual system. The methods of this research can be applied to an image encoding/decoding process.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of generating contents information for managing contents including stereo-scopic contents being two-dimensional contents and three dimensional contents, and an apparatus for managing contents, the method including the steps of, when there is a scene change of contents, adding a second field including information on each of a plurality of scenes corresponding to a plurality of types, respectively, to the contents information.
Abstract:
A water ring scanning apparatus configured to process an initial data set, such as a video frame, is disclosed. The water ring scanning apparatus is configured to write a portion of data from the initial data set into a data string. The initial data set is organized with at least one initial origin enveloped by a plurality of nested initial environs successively surrounding each other in the initial data set. The scanner is configured to write a portion of the data from the initial data set into the data string by starting at the RC grouping corresponding to the initial origin (initial water ring (0)) and by sequentially progressing outwardly from the family of RC groupings corresponding to the nearest nested initial environ (initial water ring (1)) towards the family of RC groupings corresponding to a furthest nested initial environ (initial water ring (n)).
Abstract:
A method of constructing an encoded stereoscopic image data file is provided. The encoded stereoscopic image data file includes a file type declaration unit indicating whether the file is a stereoscopic image, a meta data unit including one or more track containers for containing meta data of the encoded stereoscopic image data, and an image data unit including one or more stereoscopic image data containers for containing image information of the encoded stereoscopic image data.

Abstract:
A water ring encoding method of processing an initial data set, such as an image frame, is disclosed having a writing step and an encoding step. The initial data set is organized with at least one initial origin enveloped by a plurality of nested initial environs successively surrounding each other in the initial data set. The writing step includes writing a portion of data from the initial data set into a scanned data string, by starting the writing of the portion of the data from the initial data set into the scanned data string at the RC grouping corresponding to the initial origin (initial water ring (0)) and by sequentially progressing the writing outwardly from the family of RC groupings corresponding to the nearest nested initial environ (initial water ring (1)) towards the family of RC groupings corresponding to a furthest nested initial environ (initial water ring (n)). The encoding step includes encoding the scanned data string into an encoded data string.
