Abstract: The present invention is directed to a device and method for inserting an advertisement using frame clustering. According to the present invention, when an advertisement insertion region is set in at least one of the frames of a video, advertisement insertion target frames including advertisement insertion regions are searched for and clustered, and an advertisement is inserted for all the clustered frames in a uniform manner, thereby enabling the natural insertion of the advertisement.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for providing a virtual advertisement, and more particularly to an apparatus and method that can determine the size of a virtual advertisement image to be inserted into a moving image while taking into account the size of an advertising region included in the moving image, that can select an appropriate virtual advertisement image based on the determined size of the virtual advertisement image, and that can measure the objective exposure level of a virtual indirect advertisement and calculate advertising expenses based on the measured objective exposure level. Furthermore, there are provided an apparatus and method that select a virtual advertisement image to be inserted into an advertising region while taking into account the size of a virtual advertising region that varies depending on the angle of a camera or the posture of a virtual advertisement object.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for correcting errors in stereo images. The apparatus for correcting errors in stereo images according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a space histogram generation unit generating space histogram information using the depth map information on the input image data; a peak frequency generation unit generating a peak frequency using the 2D image data of the input image data; an object analysis unit determining the error in each frame of the input image data on the basis of the space histogram and peak frequency; a depth map error correction unit correcting the depth map information to reduce the error; and a rendering processing unit generating left and right eye images, which are stereo images, by using the corrected depth map information.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method and a apparatus for converting a three-dimensional image using depth map information. The apparatus comprise a depth map estimation unit which estimates the depth map information for each pixel present in each frame of input image data, a depth map application unit which moves each pixel by the depth map information in the X-axis direction, a 3D image interpolation unit which, when a blank pixel occurs in the frame due to the movement, forms an interpolated pixel in the blank pixel by applying a weight to adjacent pixels of the blank pixel, and a 3D image rendering processing unit which renders a left-eye image and a right-eye image to which the interpolated pixel is applied.

Abstract: An in-vehicle voice recognition apparatus and method for outputting a voice for notifying when a factor interfering with voice recognition is detected on a road on which a vehicle travels. A camera unit takes an image of the road on which the vehicle travels and transmits the taken road image to a navigation system. An acceleration sensor measures acceleration variation values of the vehicle during traveling and transmits the measured acceleration variation values of the vehicle to the navigation system. The navigation system controls an operation for outputting a voice when a factor interfering with the voice recognition is determined to be present on the road on which the vehicle travels through at least one of the road image received from the camera unit, the acceleration variation values of the vehicle received from the acceleration sensor, and map data.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of setting a navigation terminal for a destination using voice recognition, which includes the steps of causing the navigation terminal to produce a guidance voice for requesting a voice input of the destination, causing the navigation terminal to receive the voice input, causing the navigation terminal to set the destination as a path search destination if the destination extracted from the voice input is found in a destination list previously stored, and if the extracted destination is not found in the destination list, causing the navigation terminal to receive a reference item inputted by the user corresponding to at least a destination classification reference for setting a part of a plurality of destinations previously stored corresponding to the reference item as a search range and to search out the destination corresponding to the extracted destination in the search range for setting it as the path search destination.
