In this paper, we propose an algorithm which estimates the displacements and velocities of objects in the soccer field from the soccer image sequences. Assuming the time interval of an object movement is given, we transform the object positions into those in the soccer field model and compute the distance and the velocity. When four corresponding pairs of the feature points, such as the crossing points of the lines in the soccer field, exist and three of them are not on a line, we transform the object positions in the soccer image into those in the soccer field by using the perspective displacement field model. In addition, when the soccer image has less than four feature points, we first transform the object positions into those in the image which has more than four feature points, and then transform the positions into those in the soccer field again. To find the coordinate transformation between two images, we estimate the panning and zooming for consecutive images in the sequence. In the experimental results, we quantitatively evaluated the estimation accuracy by applying our algorithm to the synthetic. soccer image sequences generated by graphic tools, and applied it to the real soccer image sequences for broadcasting to show its usefulness.

In this paper through Honam high-speed railroad which is planned with the north and south axis, we will verify the feasibility of the coordinate conversion using railroad control points after regarding current planned-railroad as the linear central axises. From analysis, distortion of Y axis varies 21cm to 40cm diminishing to a gentle straight line, distortion of X axis varies 14cm to 29cm. Through a revision, the deviation value between the coordinates were 6mm to 9mm and it satisfied the allowable error of national geographic information institute which is following ITRF (International Terrestrial Reference Frame) and cadastral boundary survey(10cm). consequently the coordinate conversion is possible using railroad control points as common control points.

본 연구는 고속도로에 설치된 CCTV 카메라에서 교통량, 속도, 점유율 등의 교통정보를 수집하기 위하여 검지영역을 자동으로 설치하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이를 위하여 교통정보센터에 설치된 콘트롤러에서 CCTV 카메라의 Pan, Tilt, Zoom 요소값을 보내면 이 값만큼 CCTV 카메라가 panning, tilting이 되고, 이에 따른 변화된 영상이 교통정보센터로 전송이 된다. 기존의 연구로는 영상 내에서 도로를 추출하기 위하여 차 영상(difference image)에 의한 도로추출방법과 윤곽선 추출방법에 의한 도로추출 방법이 있으나, 전자는 도로를 추출하는데 있어서 시간이 많이 소요된다는 문제점이 있으며, 후자는 정확한 도로를 추출하지 못한다는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 우선 각 차로 상의 직선의 방정식을 구하고, 이 직선의 방정식에서 CCTV 카메라가 Panning, Tilting하는 중심점을 찾은 다음 CCTV 카메라의 Pan, Tilt 값에 의하여 3차원상의 원근비율에 따라 각 차로 별 좌표변환방법을 이용한다. 본 연구를 위한 실험은 고속도로 기흥IC에 15m 높이로 설치된 CCTV 카메라에서 영상을 캡쳐하였으며, 차후 교통량, 속도, 점유율 등 교통정보를 산출하는데 처리 속도를 고려하여 영상의 해상도는 640480픽셀과 256명암값에서 계산되었다.

In this paper, a new extraction algorithm for artificial structure in 3D cloud points of terrestrial LIDAR is described, considering that various obstacles in terrestrial LIDAR make it difficult to apply conventional algorithms which are designed for air-born LIDAR data. Firstly we use the R, G, B color information from the terrestrial LIDAR data to discriminate among the massive 3D cloud points. Hough transform is then applied to estimate the straight lines that correspond to the target structure. Finally, the structure is extracted by comparing the distance between the estimated line and 3D cloud points. The proposed algorithm is efficient in the sense that it requires the user interaction only when the reference colors are obtained. Computer simulation shows the performance to be quite satisfactory.

An algorithm for detecting a line segment in an image is presented using incremental pixel extension. We use a different approach from conventional algorithms, such as the Hough transform approach and the line segment grouping approach. The Canny edge is calculated and an arbitrary point is selected among the edge elements. After the arbitrary point is selected, a base line approximating the line segment is calculated and edge pixels within an arbitrary radius are selected. A weighted value is assigned to each edge pixel, which is selected by using the error of the distance and the direction between the pixel and the base line. A line segment is extracted by Jilting a line using the weighted least square method after determining whether selected pixels are linked or delinked using the sum comparison of the weights. The proposed algorithm is compared with two other methods and results show that our algorithm is faster and can detect the real line segment.

The layered depth image (LDI) is an efficient approach to represent three-dimensional objects with complex geometry for image-based rendering (IBR). LDI contains several attribute values together with multiple layers at each pixel location. In this paper, we propose an efficient preprocessing algorithm to compress depth information of LDI. Considering each depth value as a point in the two-dimensional space, we compute the minimum distance between a straight line passing through the previous two values and the current depth value. Finally, the minimum distance replaces the current attribute value. The proposed algorithm reduces the variance of the depth information , therefore, It Improves the transform and coding efficiency.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for creating stereoscopic video from a monoscopic video. Parallel straight lines in a 3D space get narrower as they are farther from the perspective images on a 2D plane and finally meet at one point that is called a vanishing point. A viewer uses depth perception clues called a vanishing point which is the farthest from a viewer's viewpoint in order to perceive depth information from objects and surroundings thereof to the viewer. The viewer estimates the vanishing point with geometrical features in monoscopic images, and can perceive the depth information with the relationship between the position of the vanishing point and the viewer's viewpoint. In this paper, we propose a method to estimate a vanishing point with edge direction histogram in a general monoscopic image and to create a depth map depending on the position of the vanishing point. With the conversion method proposed through the experimental results, it is seen that stable stereoscopic conversion of a given monoscopic video is achieved.

The experimental analysis method of stress intensity factors by "slab analogy" which was developed by authors proved itself effective to the determination of stress intensity factors of various shape of through cracks. Its experimental results, however, still has errors more or less 10% in comparison with known theoretical values. In this paper, a newly evaluating method, multi-point selection method, is presented by which these errors were decreased by more than 2%.e than 2%.

In this study, we investigate balance of a biped robot applying Foot Placement Estimator (FPE) in simulation. FPE method is used to determine a stable foot location for balancing the biped robot when an initial orientation of the robot body is statically unstable. In this case, the 6-DOF biped robot with point foot is modelled considering contact and friction between foot and the ground. For simulation, the mass of the robot is 1 kg assuming the center of robot mass (COM) is located at the center of the robot body. The height from the ground to the COM is 1 m. Robot balance is achieved applying stable foot locations calculated from FPE method using linear and angular velocities, and the height of the COM. The initially unstable angular postures, $5^{\circ}$ and $-5^{\circ}$, of the robot body are simulated. Simulation results confirm that the FPE method provides stable balance of the robot for all given unstable initial conditions.

In this study, the effect of semi-rigid connections on the structural behavior of 20-story braced steel structure has been investigated utilizing the second-order elastic structural analysis program in which nonlinear behavior of beam-column connections and geometric nonlinearity have been considered. Global effects such as P-delta effect and sway at the top have been studied, as well as distribution of member force and combined stress in structural members as local effects. When the structure subjected to horizontal load and vertical load is equipped with lateral-load resisting system such as braces, replacement of shear connection with semi-rigid connection has not caused any problem in P-delta effect and top lateral displacement. Distribution of member forces resulted in reduction in member size for economic structural design.
