영상 분석을 통하여 하천의 표면유속을 산정하는 표면영상유속계(SIV)는 기존 유속측정 방법들에 비해 간편하고, 효율적이며 짧은 시간에 원하는 영역의 유속장을 산정할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 현장 상황에 따라 분석을 위한 변수들을 달리 적용하고 있기 때문에 사용자마다 유속 결과가 달라질 수 있다는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 표면영상유속계의 측정 불확도 산정을 위해 기지의 유속 분포와 추적자 분포를 가진 인공 영상들을 제작하였다. 이 인공 영상들은 입자영상유속계(PIV)의 불확도 분석에 많이 사용되는 표준 PIV 영상과 유사한 것이다. 이 인공 영상을 이용하여 영상의 취득과 처리에 관련된 여러 변수가 최종 유속장에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구된 변수에는 상관창의 크기, 탐색창의 크기, 추적 입자의 농도, 면외 속도와 평균 영상 속도, 두 영상간의 시간 간격이 포함된다. 상호상관법을 이용하여 고정확도의 결과를 얻기 위해, 상관창의 크기는 상관창 안에 포함되는 입자의 수가 충분할 만큼 커야 하며, 추적 입자의 농도가 정확도에 크게 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 상호상관법을 이용하여 정확도 높은 유속측정 결과를 얻기 위해서는 최적 시간간격 또는 평균 영상 유속이 선택되어야 함을 보였다.

In this paper, development and tests of a real-time eye-tracker system are discussed. The tracker system tracks a user's gaze point through movement of eyes by means of vision-based pupil detection. The vision-based method has an advantage of detecting the exact positions of user's eyes. An infrared camera and a LED are used to acquire a user's pupil image and to extract pupil region, which was hard to extract with software only, from the obtained image, respectively. We develop a pupil-tracking algorithm with Kalman filter and grab the pupil images by using DSP(Digital Signal Processing) system for real-time image processing technique. The real-time eye-tracker system tracks the movements of user's pupils to project their gaze point onto a background image.

This paper presents a new method for the detection of multiple pedestrians and tracking of a specific pedestrian using color information from a moving camera. We first extract motion vector on the input image using BMA. Next, a difference image is calculated on the basis of the motion vector. The difference image is converted to a binary image. The binary image has an unnecessary noise. So, it is removed by means of the proposed noise deletion method. Then, we detect pedestrians through the projection algorithm. But, if pedestrians are very adjacent to each other, we separate them using RGB color information. And we track a specific pedestrian using RGB color information in center region of it. The experimental results on our test sequences demonstrated the high efficiency of our approach as it had shown detection success ratio of 97％ and detection failure ratio of 3％ and excellent tracking.

In this paper, we propose a moving object tracking algorithm by using motion estimation in UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) video. Proposed algorithm is based on generation of initial image from detected reference image, and tracking of moving object under the time-varying image. With a series of this procedure, tracking process is stable even when the UAV camera sways by correcting position of moving object, and tracking time is relatively reduced. A block matching algorithm is also utilized to determine the similarity between reference image and moving object. An experimental result shows that our proposed algorithm is better than the existing full search algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a collaborative tracking algorithm for intelligent video surveillance systems using the multiple network cameras. To do this, each camera detects a moving object and it's movement direction by motion templates. Once a moving object is detect, the Kalman filter is used to reduce noises, and a collaborative tracking camera is selected according to the movement direction and the camera state. In this procedure, Pan-Tilt-Zoom(PTZ) parameters are assigned to obtain clear images. Finally, some experiments show the validity of the proposed method.

This paper presents an autonomous target tracking approach and technique for transmitting ground control station image periodically for an unmanned aerial vehicle using onboard gimbaled(pan-tilt) camera system. The miniature rotary UAV which was used in this study has a small, high-performance camera, improved target acquisition technique, and autonomous target tracking algorithm. Also in order to stabilize real-time image sequences, image stabilization algorithm was adopted. Finally the target tracking performance was verified through a real flight test.

This paper presents the improved KLT(Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) of registration of Image sequence captured by camera mounted on unmanned helicopter assuming without camera attitude information. It consists of following procedures for the proposed image registration. The initial interested points are detected by characteristic curve matching via dynamic programming which has been used for detecting and tracking corner points thorough image sequence. Outliers of tracked points are then removed by using Random Sample And Consensus(RANSAC) robust estimation and all remained corner points are classified as inliers by homography algorithm. The rectified images are then resampled by bilinear interpolation. Experiment shows that our method can make the suitable registration of image sequence with large motion.

본 논문에서는 중복되지 않는 서로 다른 카메라의 영상을 활용한 동일 객체 판단 및 추적 기술에 대하여 소개한다. 영상분석에서 색상 정보는 가장 기본이 되는 중요한 정보라 할 수 있다. 특히 색상 정보를 이용하는 히스토그램은 일반적으로 추적, 인식 등에 많이 사용되고 있으나 이동 객체나 조도 변화 등에 따라 성능에 차이를 보인다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 본 연구에서는 동일 객체 판단을 위해 대표적으로 사용되는 히스토그램 정합의 두 알고리즘(HSV 공간에서의 Histogram matching 방법과 RGB 공간에서의MCSHR 알고리즘) 결합을 통해 분할 히스토그램은 객체를 3조각으로 나누어 전체와 각각의 히스토그램을 구하며 MCSHR을 RGB공간이 아니 Hue 공간 히스토그램으로 변경하여 유사도를 도출 하였으며 조도 변화에 강인한 모델을 만들기 위해 Controlled equalization기법을 사용하여 원 영상의 히스토그램의 확률과 평활화한 히스토그램의 확률 융합을 시도 하였다. 해당 실험의 비교 결과 기존 HSV공간에서 Histogram matching을 통한 유사도 비교보다 12.9% 향상된 정합율의 결과를 보였다. 또한 영상 정보와 스마트 기기를 통한 인식 방법의 융합을 통해 영상 내에서 동일 객체 판단에 대한 추가 정보 제공에 대해 방법론 적인 부분을 제안 하였다.

In this paper, we proposed a new 3-dimensional(3-D) object-tracking algorithm that can control a stereo camera using a variable window mask supported by which uses ,B-D information and an optical BPEJTC. Hence, three-dimensional information characteristics of a stereo vision system, distance information from the stereo camera to the tracking object. can be easily acquired through the elements of a stereo vision system. and with this information, we can extract an area of the tracking object by varying window masks. This extractive area of the tracking object is used as the next updated reference image. furthermore, by carrying out an optical BPEJTC between a reference image and a stereo input image the coordinates of the tracking objects location can be acquired, and with this value a 3-D object tracking can be accomplished through manipulation of the convergence angie and a pan/tilt of a stereo camera. From the experimental results, the proposed algorithm was found to be able to the execute 3-D object tracking by extracting the area of the target object from an input image that is independent of the background noise in the stereo input image. Moreover a possible implementation of a 3-D tele-working or an adaptive 3-D object tracker, using the proposed algorithm is suggested.
