Minsun Hong received a master of science with a thesis entitled, “Affective Image Quality for Sports Content”. Some practical insights regarding image quality on displays have led to this academic research begun. First, sports content is on live-broadcasting and there is a tendency to skip a detailed color correction process, even though the shooting is…
Yuchun Yan is now a master of science! She submitted the thesis, entitled “Skin Balancing: Chromatic Adjustment of Multi-illuminant Portraits on One Scene using Facial Color to Reproduce Standard Image Quality”. She investigated the special situation when multiple portraits undue different scene illuminants gathered together and how people perceive the color difference in terms of…
Eunjin presented her doctoral dissertation entitled as, “Image-Color Harmony: Key Color Generation and Image Recoloring.” She attempted an interdisciplinary approach to synergize the technique of computational imaging and theory of color harmony toward a proposal of practical solutions. For example, when a corporate color is given, her algorithm retouches some colors within an image, so that…

Hyunjoo Bee received her master degree with a dissertation entitled, “Material Reconfiguration for Visual Exploration and Product Design Alternatives [재질 재배치에 기반한 제품 디자인 대안의 시각적 탐색]”. The study began with a simple but novel research question, “what about rearranging the materials before confirming the design?” Surprisingly, she found out that many of us are…
Sungwook submitted his master thesis entitled, “The Influence of Atypical Color on Aesthetics of Product Design” in that he identified the value and impact of unusual color on consumers’ impression. He has investigate the aesthetic appeal or cognitive association when color of an object or graphical elements, such as graphic user interface(GUI) is atypical. For…
