In the past, there have been many theory and algorithms for vehicle tracking. But the time complexity of many feature point matching methods for vehicle tracking are exponential. Also, object segmentation and detection algorithms presented for vehicle tracking are exhaustive and time consuming. Therefore, we present the fast and efficient two stages method that can efficiently track the many moving vehicles on the road. The first detects the vehicle plate regions and extracts the feature points of vehicle plates. The second associates the feature points between frames using dynamic programming.

본 논문에서는 변이지도의 정확도 향상을 위하여, 비용 함수를 이용한 교차 일치성 검사 기법을 제안하고, 다양한 조건의 실험을 통하여 제안한 알고리듬이 효율적임을 보였다. 좌우 변이정보를 이용하는 교차 일치성 검사로 오정합을 검출하는 방법을 시도해왔다. 하지만 이러한 방법은 물체의 경계에서 발생하는 오정합을 찾기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 최종 변이의 신뢰도 향상을 위해 교차 일치성 검사의 정확도를 높이는 방법을 제안하였다. 일반적으로 영역 기반 스테레오정합 방법은 물체의 경계에서 정확도 높지 못하다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 정합창의 크기를 늘리거나 특징 점을 이용한 적응적 가변 정합창을 적용하는 방법을 시도하였다. 하지만, 여전히 기존 교차 일치성 검사를 통한 오정합 검출은 부정확하다. 이러한 영역의 비용 함수 값들을 비교한 결과 첫 번째와 두 번째 값의 차이가 적거나 크게 나타난다. 제안한 방법은 기존 방법에 비해 오정합 검출 능력을 향상 시킨다. 제안한 방법의 결과를 확인하기 위해 스테레오 비전에서 많이 사용되는 영상을 적용하고 분석하였다. 또한, 기존 교차 일치성 검사 방법과 제안한 방법의 객관적으로 비교하기 위해 전체 영역에 대한 오차율 (error ratio)과 교차 일치성 검사로 유효하다고 판단된 변이 값 중 실제 변이 값과 일치하지 않은 변이값의 오차율을 비교하였다. 실험 결과 기존 방법에 비해 제안한 방법이 1~5%정도 낮은 오차율을 보였다

This paper presents the solution to model matching of switched asynchronous sequential machines by corrective control. We propose a model of switched asynchronous sequential machines, in which the system can have different dynamics of asynchronous machines governed by a pre-determined sequence of switching. The control objective is to derive a corrective control law so that the stable state behavior of the closed-loop system can match that of a prescribed model. A new skeleton matrix is defined to represent the reachability of the switched asynchronous machine, and a novel control scheme is presented that interweaves the switching signal and the corrective control procedure. A design algorithm for the proposed controller is illustrated in a case study.

Full-search algorithm requires large amount of computation which causes time delay or very complex hardware architecture for real time implementation. In this paper, we propose a fast motion estimator based on bit-plane matching, which reduce the computational complexity and the hardware cost. In the proposed motion estimator, the conventional motion estimation algorithms are applied to the binary images directly extracted from the video sequence. Furthermore, in the proposed VLSI motion estimator, we employ a Pair of processing cores that calculate the motion vector continuously By controlling the data flow in a systolic fashion using the internal shift registers in the processing cores, we avoid using SRAM (local memory) so that we remove the time overhead for accessing the local memory and adopt lower-cost fabrication technology. We modeled and tested the proposed motion estimator in VHDL, and then synthesized the whole system which has been integrated in a 0.6-$\mu$m triple-metal CMOS chip of size 8.15 X 10.84$\textrm{mm}^2$.

In the paper, we propose enhanced feature extraction and matching methods for a mobile environment based on modified SURF. We propose three methods to reduce the computational complexity in a mobile environment. The first is to reduce the dimensions of the SURF descriptor. We compare the performance of existing 64-dimensional SURF with several other dimensional SURFs. The second is to improve the performance using the sign of the trace of the Hessian matrix. In other words, feature points are considered as matched if they have the same sign for the trace of the Hessian matrix, otherwise considered not matched. The last one is to find the best distance-ratio which is used to determine the matching points. We find the best distance-ratio through experiments, and it gives the relatively high accuracy. Finally, existing system which is based on normal SURF method is compared with our proposed system which is based on these three proposed methods. We present that our proposed system shows reduced response time while preserving reasonably good matching accuracy.

Image registration is a fundamental task in image processing used to match two or more images. It gives new information to the radiologists by matching images from different modalities. The objective of this study is to develop 2D image registration algorithm for PET/CT and CT images acquired by different systems at different times. We matched two CT images first (one from standalone CT and the other from PET/CT) that contain affluent anatomical information. Then, we geometrically transformed PET image according to the results of transformation parameters calculated by the previous step. We have used Affine transform to match the target and reference images. For the similarity measure, mutual information was explored. Use of particle swarm algorithm optimized the performance by finding the best matched parameter set within a reasonable amount of time. The results show good agreements of the images between PET/CT and CT. We expect the proposed algorithm can be used not only for PET/CT and CT image registration but also for different multi-modality imaging systems such as SPECT/CT, MRI/PET and so on.

A moving object tracking algorithm for image searching based on specific color detection is proposed in this paper. That is preprocessed for a luminance variation and noise cancellation to be robust system. The motion tracking is used the difference between input image and reference image in R, G, B each channels for a moving image. The proposed method is enhanced to 15% fast in comparison with the contour tracking method and the matching method, and stable.

객체 중심점에서 움직임을 추정하고 보상하여 빠르게 움직이는 객체의 윤곽선을 실시간으로 추적 할 수 있는 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 방사상 표현 (radial representation) 방식을 적용하여 객체 중심점에서만 블록정합 (block matching) 알고리듬으로 움직임을 추정하고 보상하여 적은 계산량으로 객체 움직임을 추정하고 보상함으로써 객체 윤곽선을 실시간으로 추적하였다. 에너지 수렴 과정에서 기울기 영상과 차영상 (differential image)을 에너지 함수로 함께 사용함으로 배경 잡영 등에도 강건하도록 하였다. 실험 결과 움직임이 빠른 객체와 배경 잡영 속의 객체도 실시간으로 강건하게 추적함을 확인하였다.

본 논문은 다시점 카메라로부터 획득된 다시점 영상을 이용하여, 영상내의 모든 화소에 대한 정확한 변이 정보를 획득하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 정합창(measurement window)을 사용하는 화소기반 정합방법을 통해 정확한 변이 추정과 비용 함수 계산시 반복적인 계산을 줄임으로써 전체적인 수행 속도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 정확한 변이 정보를 획득하는데 있어서 가려진 영역이 많은 영향을 미친다. 또한 가려진 영역의 판단 및 처리는 2대의 카메라로는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 평행식으로 구성된 5대 이상의 다시점 카메라로부터 획득된 다시점 영상을 사용함으로써 변이 정보의 신뢰도를 높이고, 가려진 영역을 처리할 수 있다. 또한 비용 함수 계산의 반복성을 이용하여 계산량을 줄임으로써 전체적인 수행시간을 줄인다. 이렇게 획득된 변이 정보는 다시점 영상의 중간시점영상 생성을 위해 사용된다.

Studies on space-invariant pattern recognition have been carried out from various approaches. Pattern recognition system using SDF filter, from weighted linear summation of tranining images, has been the focus of research since its first appearence. In this thesis, off-axis pSDF spatial matched filter has been constructed by combining angular multiplexing of off-axis reference plane wave with pSDF filter made from pseudo-inverse algorithm, and transformed to phase only filter. From observation of the correlation responses in the correlation plane, it is shown that proposed off-axis pSDF spatial matched filter is available to pattern classification and can be used for optical correlator.
