大学入学前教育における英語読解教育の在り方を入学前教育の特徴、対象学生の英語能力レベル、及びヨーロッパ言語共通参照枠(CEFR)の「情報及び議論の為の読解能力記述文」を基に検討し、教材を開発した。教材は、自律的学習を支援するためのポートフォリオと、語彙・文法レベルはCEFRのA2(初級上)に限定しながらも大学教育で必要となるB1(中級下)の読解法力が育成できる読解テキストを一体化したものとした。

In archiving video for surveillance, frame-based coding has been used and it makes storage size large because the whole image is stored even if there is no object in the image. On the other hand, object-based coding has the capability to make storage size small, because it distinguishes between the foreground and the background regions of the image, and stores only foreground objects such as people. This paper describes object-based coding by pixel state analysis. In our method, pixel state analysis detects the foreground objects and background regions in video frames. Furthermore, it distinguishes foreground object pixels as <i>stationary</i> or <i>transient</i> pixels. For <i>stationary</i> pixels, it is possible to restore the color intensity by refering to the same pixel location in the last frame. Therefore, our method makes the storage size smaller. Additionally, the <i>transient</i> pixels of foreground objects are compressed using LZH codec. Since LZH codec uses lossless compression, the object region can be compressed with lesser loss in image quality. We have evaluated our method over 9 test sequences and obtained an improvement of 15% in compression ratio and better quality for the moving parts of the object region compared to MPEG-4.
