    In document processing by computer, aiming at the construction of document database, digitization of existent printed books is an important issue. One solution is to convert a scanner image of each page into a text file by character recognition. However, when applying to thick books, shading occurred in images makes it difficult to obtain enough image quality for recognition. In this paper, we propose a method where stereo camera images are processed to adjust the curvatures and inclinations of the sheet prior to character recognition. A preliminary experiment has shown its effectiveness.

    In rainy days, it is often the case that images taken by the camera are hard to see because of adherent water drops on the surface of the lens or the protecting glass. In this paper, we propose a method for improving the quality of such images. The method employs multiple camera images describing the same scene, and synthesizes an image in which the water drops are eliminated. A preliminary study is focused on algorithms for extracting water drops from two and three images of a distant scene in which no stereoscopic disparities exist.

    As the result of the remarkable development of the information-oriented society, our living environment has changed greatly. With the advance of information technology, a society without restriction of time and space is being constructed. On the other hand, network crimes are diversified and information morals of the younger generation are becoming an important problem in today's education. The purpose of this study is to get data to develop KANSEI information education and especially information moral education. In this paper, we analyze the actual conditions of the communication of high school students using the information media.

    There is a number of research on personal identification using facial image. The most cases of them use the facial image taken from one's front or side. If the angle of collected facial image differ from that of in the database, the system would miss identify. The cognitive performance of the identification system depends on how the system got the images accurately. In this paper, we propose the method to find the front view of facial image from video images taken by the two CCD cameras simultaneously. In the results, our method could find the front view of human correctly at the most cases. The method will help to make personal identification system that does not force people to halt their head while identifying.

    Nowadays, most people use a mobile personal phone in daily life. As one of desired function, a nonverbal communication system using facial expressions has been expected to realize more effective emotional communication on the phone. In this paper, we propose a method to analyze and extract facial region and several facial parts from low resolution facial images for a caricaturing method of facial expression. Some examples show that most of the extracted regions and parts correspond to respective faces and several facial parts, such as hair, eyes and mouth.

    Information devices, which mediate information and human being, will play important role in the multimedia era. First, present status and subjects of information devices are described. Although CCD technologies are becoming mature, development of CMOS image sensors are accelerated. Flat panel displays among information display devices, i.e., LCDs and PDPs, are actively developed for information terminals and home receivers. Intelligent displays called system-on-panel have attracted special interest. Finally, a new project named Senses Information Communication is introduced, and the related sensing device technologies are reviewed.
