This paper proposes a method to trace and interpret a moving object based on the information which can be directly obtained from MPEG-2 compressed video stream without decoding process. In the proposed method, the motion flow is constructed from the motion vectors included in compressed video. We calculate the amount of pan, tilt, and zoom associated with camera operations using generalized Hough transform. The local object motion can be extracted from the motion flow after the compensation with the parameters related to the global camera motion. Initially, a moving object to be traced is designated by user via bounding box. After then automatic tracking Is performed based on the accumulated motion flows according to the area contributions. Also, in order to reduce the cumulative tracking error, the object area is reshaped in the first I-frame of a GOP by matching the DCT coefficients. The proposed method can improve the computation speed because the information can be directly obtained from the MPEG-2 compressed video, but the object boundary is limited by macro-blocks rather than pixels. Also, the proposed method is proper for approximate object tracking rather than accurate tracing of an object because of limited information available in the compressed video data.

In this paper, we suggest a method to acquire the moving object centered video by panning and tilting a camera automatically according to motion vectors calculated by detecting the motion of a moving object on video steam. We create a difference image by estimating the intensity difference at the grid points of neighboring frames. And we detect the motion using both horizontal projection histogram and vertical projection histogram and decide the center of motion part. Then we calculate a new direction and degree of the motion by comparing coordinates at the center of current motion and the center of previous motion. By controling the RCM using these Motion vectors, we can get video stream positioned unwire object on the center of video frame. Through the experiments, we could get a moving object centered video stream continuously arid monitor remotely by implementing sever/client architecture based on the web.

최근 중소 테마파크들은 방문객의 감소로 인한 운영의 어려움을 겪고 있다. 새로운 어트랙션의 도입 및 테마파크의 리뉴얼을 통해 방문객 증가를 유도하기에는 천문학적인 비용이 소요된다. 이런 비용 소모는 운영 업체의 입장에서 부담하기 쉽지 않은 구조로 새로운 방법으로 방문객의 재방문률을 높일 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 대표적인 방안으로 최근 높은 관심으로 인해 관련 기술 및 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 VR 시스템의 어트랙션 적용이 있다. 많은 움직임이 없고 안정적인 속도로 운영되는 어트랙션에 VR의 콘텐츠를 적용하여 사용자의 탑승률을 높이고 이로 인해 재방문률 또한 증가 시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료되어 많은 접근이 시도되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 어트랙션의 탑승자에게 몰입감 높은 VR 콘텐츠 제공을 위해 탑승한 어트랙션의 움직임과 VR영상을 동기화 하는 매칭 모듈에 대해 제안한다. 제안하는 모듈은 가속도 센서의 움직임에 따라 1차 적분하여 속도를 산출하고 이를 2차 적분하여 거리를 산출한다. 기존의 가속도 센서를 통한 이동거리 판단에는 칼만 필터를 적용한 오차 보정, 다분화 사다리꼴 적분 등의 연산이 필요하지만 본 논문의 고정 어트랙션에서는 탑승체의 방향이 결정되어 있어 최소화된 연산으로 정확한 이동거리를 판단할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this paper, an improved block-based background modeling technique using adaptive parameter estimation that judiciously adjusts the number of model histograms at each frame sequence is proposed. The conventional block-based background modeling method has a fixed number of background model histograms, resulting to false negatives when the image sequence has either rapid illumination changes or swiftly moving objects, and to false positives with motionless objects. In addition, the number of optimal model histogram that changes each type of input image must have found manually. We demonstrate the proposed method is promising through representative performance evaluations including the background modeling in an elevator environment that may have situations with rapid illumination changes, moving objects, and motionless objects.

In this paper, we propose a thermal imagery-based object detection algorithm for low-light level nighttime surveillance system. Many features selected by Haar-like feature selection algorithm and existing Adaboost algorithm are often vulnerable to noise and problems with similar or overlapping feature set for learning samples. It also removes noise from the feature set from the surveillance image of the low-light night environment, and implements it using the lightweight extended Haar feature and adaboost learning algorithm to enable fast and efficient real-time feature selection. Experiments use extended Haar feature points to recognize non-predictive objects with motion in nighttime low-light environments. The Adaboost learning algorithm with video frame 800*600 thermal image as input is implemented with CUDA 9.0 platform for simulation. As a result, the results of object detection confirmed that the success rate was about 90% or more, and the processing speed was about 30% faster than the computational results obtained through histogram equalization operations in general images.

The subway, which is an urban railway, is the core of public transportation. Urban railways are always exposed to serious problems such as theft, crime and terrorism, as many passengers use them. Especially, due to the nature of urban railway environment, the scope of surveillance is widely dispersed and the range of surveillance target is rapidly increasing. Therefore, it is difficult to perform comprehensive management by passive surveillance like existing CCTV. In this paper, we propose the implementation, design method and object recognition algorithm for intelligent object recognition system in urban railway. The object recognition system that we propose is to analyze the camera images in the history and to recognize the situations where there are objects in the landing area and the waiting area that are not moving for more than a certain time. The proposed algorithm proved its effectiveness by showing detection rate of 100% for Selected area detection, 82% for detection in neglected object, and 94% for motionless object detection, compared with 84.62% object recognition rate using existing Kalman filter.

밀집된 돈방에서 사육되는 돼지의 공격적인 행동들은 돼지의 성장에 심각한 악영향을 주고, 이는 농가의 경제적 손실로 이어진다. 따라서 돈방 내의 비정상 상황들을 지속적으로 모니터링할 수 있는 IT기반의 영상 감시 시스템이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 돼지의 행동 분석 이전에 필수적으로 선행되어야 하는 개별 돼지의 탐지를 위한 키넥트 카메라 기반의 새로운 모니터링 시스템을 제안한다. 먼저, 배경차영상 기법과 깊이 임계값을 이용하여 서있는 돼지만을 탐지한다. 둘째, 서있는 돼지들 중에서 움직임이 있는 돼지만을 관심영역으로 설정하여 탐지한다. 마지막으로, 서서 움직이는 돼지들 사이에서 발생하는 근접 문제를 깊이 정보를 이용한 등고선기법을 제안 적용하여 돼지 객체의 탐지를 완성한다. 실제 세종에 위치한 한 돈사에서 취득한 깊이 영상 정보를 이용하여 본 논문에서 제안하는 시스템의 성능을 실험적으로 검증하였다.

Purpose : Motion effects in parallel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are investigated. Parallel MRI is known to be robust to motion due to its reduced acquisition time. However, if there are some involuntary motions such as heart or respiratory motions involved during the acquisition of the parallel MRI, motion artifacts would be even worse than those in conventional (non-parallel) MRI. In this paper, we defined several types of motions, and their effects in parallel MRI are investigated in comparisons with conventional MRI. Materials and Methods : In order to investigate motion effects in parallel MRI, 5 types of motions are considered. Type-1 and 2 are periodic motions with different amplitudes and periods. Type-3 and 4 are segment-based linear motions, where they are stationary during the segment. Type-5 is a uniform random motion. For the simulation, Cartesian and spiral grid based parallel and non-parallel (conventional) MRI are used. Results : Based on the motions defined, moving artifacts in the parallel and non-parallel MRI are investigated. From the simulation, non-parallel MRI shows smaller root mean square error (RMSE) values than the parallel MRI for the periodic (type-1 and 2) motions. Parallel MRI shows less motion artifacts for linear(type-3 and 4) motions where motions are reduced with shorter acquisition time. Similar motion artifacts are observed for the random motion (type-5). Conclusion : In this paper, we simulate the motion effects in parallel MRI. Parallel MRI is effective in the reduction of motion artifacts when motion is reduced by the shorter acquisition time. However, conventional MRI shows better image quality than the parallel MRI when fast periodic motions are involved.

This paper presents a method for moving objects detection, analysis and expression how much move as numerical value from the image which is captured by a network camera. To perform this method, we process few kinds of pre-processing to remove noise that are getting background image, difference image, binarization and so on. And to consider perspective effect, we propose modified ART2 algorithm. Finally, we express the result of ATR2 clustering as numerical value. This method is robust to size of object which is changed by perspective effect.

이 논문은 응급상황을 인식하기 위하여 어안렌즈를 통해 획득된 영상을 이용하여 기절 동작을 인식하는 방법을 제안한다. 거실의 천장 중앙에 위치한 어안렌즈(fish-eye lens)를 장착한 카메라로부터 화각이 170인 RGB 컬러 모델의 어안 영상을 입력 받은 뒤, 가우시안 혼합 모델 기반의 적응적 배경 모델링 방법을 이용하여 동적으로 배경 영상을 갱신한다. 입력 영상의 평균 밝기를 구하고 평균 밝기가 급격하게 변화하지 않도록 영상 픽셀을 보정한 뒤, 입력 영상과 배경 영상과 차이가 큰 픽셀을 찾음으로써 움직이는 객체를 추출하였다. 그리고 연결되어 있는 전경 픽셀 영역들의 외곽점들을 추적하여 타원으로 매핑하고 움직이는 객체 영역의 형태를 단순화하였다. 이 타원을 추적하면서 어안 렌즈 영상을 투시 영상으로 변환한 다음 타원의 크기 변화, 위치 변화, 이동 속도 정보를 추출하여 이동과 정지 및 움직임이 기절동작과 유사한지를 판단하도록 하였다. 본 논문에서는 실험자로 하여금 기절동작, 걷기 동작, 앉기 동작 등 여러 동작을 취하게 하고 기절 동작 인식을 실험하였다. 실험 결과 어안 렌즈 영상을 그대로 사용하는 것보다 투시 영상으로 변환하여 타원의 크기변화, 위치변화, 이동속도 정보를 이용하는 것이 높은 인식률을 보였다.
