본 논문에서는 MPEG2비디오 스트림에서 직접 얻을 수 있는 정보들을 활용하여 카메라의 움직임을 추정하여 이를 기반으로 하여 움직이는 객체를 추정하고자 한다. 이를 위해, 먼저 MPEG2의 움직임 벡터는 압축의 효율성 때문에 움직임의 예측이 순서적이지 못한데, 예측 프레임들의 속성을 이용하여 이를 광 플로우(Optical Flow)를 갖는 움직임 벡터(Motion Vector)로 변환하였다. 그리고 이러한 벡터들을 이용하여 카메라의 기본적인 움직임인 팬(Fan), 틸트(Tilt). 줌(Zoom) 등을 정의하였다. 이를 위하여 팬, 틸트-줌 카메라 모델의 매개변수와 같은 의미의 $\Delta$x, $\Delta$y, $\alpha$값을 정의하고자 움직임 벡터 성분의 Hough변환을 이용하여 $\Delta$x, $\Delta$y, $\alpha$값들을 구하였다. 또한 이러한 카메라 움직임(Camera Operation)은 시간적으로 연속적으로 발생하는 특징을 이용하여 각 프레임마다 구한 카메라의 움직임을 보정하였다. 마지막으로 움직이는 객체의 추정은 우선 사용자가 원하는 객체를 바운딩박스 형태로 정의한 후 카메라 움직임이 보정된 객체의 움직임 벡터를 한 GOF(Group of Pictures) 단위로 면적 기여도에 따라 누적하여 객체를 추적하고 해석하였으며 DCT 질감 정보를 이용하여 객체의 영역을 재설정 하였다. 물론 압축된 MFEG2비디오에서 얻을 수 있는 정보들은 최대 블록 단위이므로 객체의 정의도 블록단위 이상의 객체로 제한하였다. 제안된 방법은 비디오 스트림에서 직접 정보를 얻음으로써 계산속도의 향상은 물론 카메라의 움직임특성과 움직이는 객체의 추적들을 활용하여 기존의 내용기반의 검색 및 분석에도 많이 응용될 수 있다. 이러한 개발 기술들은 압축된 데이터의 검색 및 분석에 유용하게 사용되리라고 기대되며 , 특히 검색 툴이나 비디오 편집 툴 또는 교통량 감시 시스템, 혹은 무인 감시시스템 등에서 압축된 영상의 저장과 빠른 분석을 요구시 필요하리라고 기대된다.

This paper deals with a vision-based trajectory tracking control system for a quadrotor-type UAV for entertainment purpose in indoor environment. In contrast to outdoor flights that emphasize the autonomy to complete special missions such as aerial photographs and reconnaissance, indoor flights for entertainment require trajectory following and hovering skills especially in precision and stability of performance. This paper proposes a trajectory tracking control system consisting of a motion generation module, a pose estimation module, and a trajectory tracking module. The motion generation module generates a sequence of motions that are specified by 3-D locations at each sampling time. In the pose estimation module, 3-D position and orientation information of a quadrotor is estimated by recognizing a circular ring pattern installed on the vehicle. The trajectory tracking module controls the 3-D position of a quadrotor in real time using the information from the motion generation module and pose estimation module. The proposed system is tested through several experiments in view of one-point, multi-points, and trajectory tracking control.

This paper proposes an image stabilization algorithm for close watching UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) using motion separation and stabilization mode. The motion of UAV is composed of its actual navigating motion and unwanted vibrating motion so that image sequences obtained from UAV are shaken randomly. In order to stabilize these images we separate the vibrating motion component from UAV motion and remove the effect caused by it from image sequences. In the proposed algorithm the motion and global intensity change of two consecutive images are modeled with 6 motion parameters and 2 intensity change parameters respectively. These modeled parameters are estimated by non-linear least square method based on Gauss-Newton algorithm. The vibrating motion component is separated from the estimated motion using IIR filtering and the geometric deformation caused by it is removed from image sequences. In order to apply the proposed method to real aerial image sequences with many abrupt changes of camera view, we proposed a stabilizing method using two different modes named as stabilizing and non-stabilizing mode. Experimental results show that the accuracy of motion estimation is 99% and the efficiency of removing the vibrating motion component is 90%. We apply the proposed method to real aerial image sequences and verified its stabilizing performance.

The goal of this study is to implement a communication system that can monitor the status of the nacelle using the power cable itself, without the dedicated communication lines such as an UTP cable and optical fiber for the offshore wind turbine. An inductive coupling powerline communication system for a MW class offshore wind turbine was proposed and its communication performance was demonstrated. The inductive couplers was designed for operation at up to 500 A using a ferrite composite materials. Field test was carried out on the wind farms of Jeju island. Using the iperf communication test program, we have obtained more than 15 Mbps data transmission rate through the 100 m power cable that was installed between the nacelle and the bottom of the power converter. In the data transmission stability test for a week, there was no failure ever. The minimum transmission rate was 15 Mbps and the average data rate was about 20 Mbps. Next, we have installed an infrared camera inside the nacelle in order to measure the temperature distribution and variation of the nacelle. The real-time thermal image taken by the camera was successfully sent to the monitoring system without error.

Accordingly, attention is also being paid to the agricultural use of remote sensing technique that non-destructively and continuously detects the growth and physiological status of crops. However, when remote sensing techniques are used for crop monitoring, it is possible to continuously monitor the abnormality of crops in real time. For this, standard growth information of crops is required and relative growth considering the cultivation environment must be identified. With the relationship between GDD (Growing Degree Days), which is the cumulative temperature related to crop growth obtained from ideal cultivation management, and the vegetation index as standard growth information, compared with the vegetation index observed with the spectralreflectance sensor(SRS_NDVI & SRS_PRI) in each rice paddy treated with standard cultivation management and non-fertilized, it was quantitatively identified as a time series. In the future, it is necessary to accumulate a database targeting various climatic conditions and varieties in the standard cultivation management area to establish a more reliable standard growth information.
