A system for and a method of analyzing a corneal lesion using an anterior segment image according to the present invention. The system includes: an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an anterior segment image from the eyeball of a subject, a feature extractor configured to extract feature information on a position and a cause of a lesion in the cornea from the anterior segment image by applying a convolution layer to the anterior segment image through machine learning on the basis of a database in which clinical information pre-acquired by analyzing positions and causes of lesions in the corneas of subjects is stored; and a result determination unit configured to identify a position of the cornea from the anterior segment image using the feature information and to analyze and determine the position and the cause of the lesion in the cornea from the position of the cornea.

A multiple ROI (region of interest) setting method and apparatus in scalable video coding and an ROI reconstructing method and apparatus are provided. The multiple ROI setting apparatus includes: an ROI setting unit which sets at least one or more ROIs and allocates ROI identification numbers to the each of ROIs; a mapping unit which allocates at least one or more slice group identification numbers to the at least one or more ROI identification numbers; and a message generating unit which generates a message including ROI-associated information, slice-group-associated information, mapping information on mapping of the ROI identification number to the at least one or more slice group identification numbers, and scalability information.

The present invention solves the problem of automatically recognizing multiple known faces in photos or videos on a local computer storage device (on a home computer). It further allows for sophisticated organization and presentation of the photos or videos based on the graphical selection of known faces (by selecting thumbnail images of people). It also solves the problem of sharing or distributing photos or videos in an automated fashion between 'friends' who are also using the same software that enables the invention. It further solves the problem of allowing a user of the invention to review the results of the automatic face detection, eye detection, and face recognition methods and to correct any errors resulting from the automated process.

Provided is an improved pornography blocking technique which blocks pornography on the basis of the contents of multimedia data. First, feature descriptor is extracted from multimedia data inputted from the Internet by using MPEG-7 scheme. And referring to reference pornography database which stores reference pornography in the form of feature descriptor, the similarity degree between the extracted feature descriptor and the feature descriptor of the reference pornography is measured by calculating the vector distance between the two feature descriptors. And it is determined whether the inputted multimedia data is pornography or not, by comparing the measured similarity degree with the similarity measurement threshold value. According to the invention, accurate pornography determining is possible, because the invention uses the contents of the multimedia data for determining. And rapid and efficient pornography determining is possible, because the invention uses feature descriptor with less information, instead of the original multimedia data.

A texture description method in frequency domains and a texture-based retrieval method using the same, in which image signals are converted into those in a frequency domain of a Polar coordinate system. The texture description method in the frequency domain includes a first step of generating a frequency layout by partitioning the frequency domain into a set of feature channels; a second step of extracting the texture feature values of the image from the respective feature channels; and a third step of constituting a texture descriptor of the image in a vector form using the texture feature values extracted from the respective feature channels of the frequency layout. In a texture-based retrieval described in the frequency domain, a retrieval method capable of satisfying respective or all the retrieval conditions such as scale-, rotation- and intensity-invariant retrieval of relevant texture images is provided. Also, a retrieval method of computing the rough scheme of texture to provide a browsing functionality in retrieving is provided.
