For the development of unmanned autonomous vehicle, it is essential to detect obstacles, especially vehicles, in the forward direction of navigation. In order to reliably exclude regions that do not contain obstacles and save a considerable amount of computational effort, it is often necessary to confine computation only to ROI(region of interest)s. A ROI is usually chosen as the interior region of the lane. We propose a computationally simple and efficient method for the detection of lanes based on Hough transform and quadratic curve fitting. The proposed method first employs Hough transform to get approximate locations of lanes, and then applies quadratic curve fitting to the locations computed by Hough transform. We have experimented the proposed method on real outdoor road scene. Experimental results show that our method gives accurate detection of straight and curve lanes, and is computationally very efficient.

When a video surveillance system tracks a specific object, it is very important to get quickly the information of the object through fast image processing. Usually one camera surveillance system for tracking the object made results in various problems such like occlusion, image noise during the tracking process. It makes difficulties on image based moving object tracking. Therefore, to overcome the difficulties the multi video surveillance system which installed several camera within interested area and looking the same object from multi angles of view could be considered as a solution. If multi cameras are used for tracking object, it is capable of making a decision having high accuracy in more wide space. This paper proposes a method of recognizing and tracking a specific object like a car using the homography in which multi cameras are installed at the crossroad.

In order to extract the contour of interesting object in the image, Kass suggested the Active Contour Model called "Snakes". Snakes is a model which defines the contour of image energy. It also can find the contour of object by minimizing these energy functions. The speed of this model is slow and this model is sensitive of initialization. In order to improve these problems, Gunn extracted the accurate contour by using two initialization. and operated to less sensitive of initialization. This method could extract more accurate contour than the existing method, but it had no effect in the speed and it was sensitive of noise. This paper applied to the Energy Minimization Algorithm about only the pixel within the window applying the window of 8$\times$8 size at each contour point consisting Snakes in order to solve these problems. The method offered in this paper is applied to extract the contour of original image and cup image added to gaussian noise. By tracking the face using this offered method, it is applied to virtual reality and motion tracking. tracking.

In this paper, we propose a stereo image recognition-based method for measuring the volume of the rectangular parallelepiped. The method measures the volume from two images captured with two CCD (charge coupled device) cameras by sequential processes such as ROI (region of interest) extraction, feature extraction, and stereo matching-based vortex recognition. The proposed method makes it possible to measure the volume of the 3D object at high speed because only a few features are used in the process of stereo matching. From experimental results, it is demonstrated that this method is very effective for measuring the volume of the rectangular parallelepiped at high speed.

The space Debris laser ranging system is called to be a definite type of satellite laser ranging system that measures the distance to satellites. It is a system that performs POD (Precise Orbit Determination) by measuring time of flight by firing a laser. Distance precision can be measured in mm-level units, and it is the most precise system among existing systems. Currently, KASI has built SLR in Sejong and Geochang, and utilized SLR data to verify the precise orbits of the STSAT-2C and KOMASAT-5. In recent years, due to the fall or collision of space debris, its satellites have been threatened, and in terms of security, laser tracking of space objects is receiving great interest in order to protect their own space assets and protect the safety of the people. In this paper, a 1.5m-class main mirror was applied for the system design of a multipurpose laser tracking system that considers satellite laser ranging and space object laser tracking. System preliminary performance analysis was performed based on Link Budget analysis considering specifications of major components.

Most deep learning-based video object segmentation methods perform the segmentation with past prediction information stored in external memory. In general, the more past information is stored in the memory, the better results can be obtained by accumulating evidence for various changes in the objects of interest. However, all information cannot be stored in the memory due to hardware limitations, resulting in performance degradation. In this paper, we propose a method of storing new information in the external memory without additional memory allocation. Specifically, after calculating the attention score between the existing memory and the information to be newly stored, new information is added to the corresponding memory according to each score. In this way, the method works robustly because the attention mechanism reflects the object changes well without using additional memory. In addition, the update rate is adaptively determined according to the accumulated number of matches in the memory so that the frequently updated samples store more information to maintain reliable information.

In this paper, we propose a method to automatically create the contents for spot-the-difference games. A spot-the-difference game is the game that finds the differences such as removal of some objects in the image or changes of shapes and colors from the original image. The original purpose of the exemplar-based image inpainting technique is to remove unnecessary objects. We use the exemplar-based inpainting technique to make the spot-the-difference game contents. From our implementation and experiments, we showed the effectiveness of our automatic generation technique of spot-the-difference contents.

기존 영상감시 시스템의 물체 탐지 알고리즘은 주로 배경 모델링 기법을 기반으로 하고 있다. 이 기법은 차영상 기법보다는 성능이 뛰어나기는 하지만 여전히 정지 카메라에서만 활용이 가능하고, 주변 환경에 따라 알고리즘 상의 많은 임계값을 현재 상황에 맞춰 일일이 조절해 주어야 한다는 한계점이 있다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 배경모델링 기법을 사용하지 않고 입력되는 영상의 Color 정보를 이용하여 영상 내에 있는 여러 대상을 직접 판단하여 관심 있는 물체를 탐지하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 먼저 현재의 영상을 하나의 물체로 추정되는 영역이 하나의 영역으로 구분되어지게 간단하게 분할해낸다 그리고 나누어진 영역마다 대표 Color 값을 계산하여 미리 학습된 데이터를 기준으로 Support Vector Domain Description (SVDD) 알고리즘을 사용하여 구별해내고 그 결과를 바탕으로 영역이 무엇인지를 판별해낸다. 이 방법은 정지되어 있는 카메라뿐만 아니라 움직이는 카메라 상에서도 사용되어질 수 있으며 알고리즘 상에서 사용되는 임계값의 종류가 적기 때문에 많은 상황에서 일반적으로 쓰일 수 있다.

We present a new computer vision technique which can detect unexpected or static vertical objects in road driving environment. We first obtain temporal and spatial difference images in each frame of a stereo video sequence. Using the difference images, we then generate VO and HO maps by improving the conventional V and H disparity maps. From the VO and HO maps, candidate areas of vertical obstacles on the road are detected. Finally, the candidate areas are merged and refined to detect vertical obstacles.
