본 논문은 입력되는 영상에서 특정 객체를 찾기 위하여 특징 검출 및 매칭 결과를 분석하여 기술한다. 영상의 특징을 추출하는 방법 중 코너를 특징으로 하는 방법인 해리스 코너 검출(Harris corner detection)을 이용하여 코너를 추출하였으며, 추출한 특징을 이용하여 다양한 크기의 템플릿을 만들어 입력된 영상과 상관계수를 구해 최대값을 가지는 위치를 찾아 입력된 영상과 객체를 매칭 시킨 결과를 분석하였다. 본 논문의 연구 결과들은 객체의 탐지 등과 같은 영상 분석 기반 기술에 활용될 수 있으리라 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 개선된 영역기반의 패턴매칭 기법을 사용하여 이동물체의 탐색과 검출을 수행하였다. 시간에 따라 변화하는 이동물체의 안정된 추적을 위해 매 영상 프레임마다 이동물체의 윤곽선을 탐지하여 다음 영상에서의 템플릿으로 사용하기 위해 갱신하였으며, 패턴매칭의 연산속도 향상을 위해 패턴 정합률에 따라 영상을 다른 비율로 압축하여 추적하는 방법을 제안하였다. 기존의 영상파일을 사용하여 시뮬레이션 한 결과 이동물체의 검출과 추적에 양호한 동작을 보여주었으며 제안된 방법의 실시간 동작 가능성을 조사하였다.

Existing methods of object tracking use template matching, re-detection of object boundaries or motion information. The template matching method requires very long computation time. The re-detection of object boundaries may produce false edges. The method using motion information shows poor tracking performance in moving camera. In this paper, a robust object tracking algorithm is proposed, using projected motion and histogram intersection. The initial object image is constructed by selecting the regions of interest after image segmentation. From the selected object, the approximate displacement of the object is computed by using 1-dimensional intensity projection in horizontal and vortical direction. Based on the estimated displacement, various template masks are constructed for possible orientations and scales of the object. The best template is selected by using the modified histogram intersection method. The robustness of the proposed tracking algorithm has been verified by experimental results.

In this paper, a fast human detection method using adaptive UV-histogram and template matching is proposed. The proposed method improves the detection rate in the scene of complex environment. The method firstly generates U-histogram to extract human candidates and adaptively generates V-histogram for each labled U-histogram, thus it could extract humans correctly, which was impossible in the previous method. The method tries to match the human candidates with the adaptively sized omega shape template to the focal length and distance in order to improve the detection accuracy. It also detects false positives by rematching the template with accumulated foreground images and hence is robust to the occlusion. Experimental results showed that the proposed method has superior performance to the Bae's method in the complex environment with about 15% improvement in precision and 80% in recall and has 20 times faster processing time than Xia's method.

The core of the machine vision that is frequently used at the pre/post-production stages is a marker alignment technology. In this paper, a method to detect the angle and position of a product at high speed by use of a unique pattern present in the marker stamped on the product, and calibrate them is proposed. In the proposed method, to determine the angle and position of a marker, the candidates of the marker are extracted by using a variation of the integral histogram, and then clustering is applied to reduce the candidates. The experimental results revealed about 5s 719ms improvement in processing time and better precision in detecting the rotation angle of a product.

For music score recognition, several approaches have been proposed including shape matching, statistical methods, neural network based methods and structural methods. In this paper, we deal with recognition for low resolution images which are captured by the digital camera of a mobile phone. Considerable distortions are included in these low resolution images, so when existing technology is used, many problems appear. First, captured images are not stable in the sense that they contain lots of distortions or non-uniform illumination changes. Therefore, notes or symbols in the music score are damaged and recognition process gets difficult. This paper presents recognition technology to overcome these problems. First, musical note to head, stick, tail part are separated. Then template matching on head part of musical note, and remainder part is applied. Experimental results show nearly 100% recognition rate for music scores with single musical notes.

The aim of this paper is the improvement of identification performance and the reduction of computational quantities in the face recognition system based on SIFT-Grid. Firstly, we propose a composition method of integrated template by removing similar SIFT keypoints and blending different keypoints in variety training images of one face class. The integrated template is made up of computation of similarity matrix and threshold-based histogram from keypoints in a same sub-region which divided by applying SIFT-Grid of training images. Secondly, we propose a computation method of similarity for identify of test image from composed integrated templates efficiently. The computation of similarity is performed that a test image to compare one-on-one with the integrated template of each face class. Then, a similarity score and a threshold-voting score calculates according to each sub-region. In the experimental results of face recognition tasks, the proposed methods is founded to be more accurate than both two other methods based on SIFT-Grid, also the computational quantities are reduce.

In this paper, we propose an object recognition technique for implementing marker less augmented reality. Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) is used for finding the local features from object images. These features are invariant to scale, rotation, translation, and partially invariant to illumination changes. Extracted Features are distinct and have matched with different image features in the scene. If the trained image is properly matched, then it is expected to find object in scene. In this paper, an object is found from a scene by matching the template images that can be generated from the first frame of the scene. Experimental results of object recognition for 4 kinds of objects showed that the proposed technique has a good performance.

When we build up a 3D model from the given 2D images, linear algorithms are often used to reduce computational cost or for initialization of nonlinear algorithms. However, contemporary linear algorithms have apparently linear structures, but virtually they are implemented using SVD. The SVD is also implemented using numerical analysis algorithms that need initialization. Moreover, solutions using SVD are more difficult to analyze than closed-form solutions. To avoid from such inconvenient numerical analysis algorithms of the contemporary methods and for convenient analysis of solutions, this paper proposes a convenient linear method that produces a closed-form solution.

HCI, 비전 기반 사용자 인터페이스 또는 제스쳐 인식과 같은 많은 분야에서 3 차원 얼굴 모션을 추정하는 것은 중요한 작업이다. 연속된 2 차원 이미지로부터 3 차원 모션을 추정하기 위한 방법으로는 크게 외형 기반 방법이나 모델을 이용하는 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 동영상으로부터 3 차원 실린더 모델과 Optical flow를 이용하여 실시간으로 얼굴 모션을 추정하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 초기 프레임으로부터 얼굴의 피부색과 템플릿 매칭을 이용하여 얼굴 영역을 검출하고 검출된 얼굴 영역에 3 차원 실린더 모델을 투영하게 된다. 연속된 프레임으로 부터 Lucas-Kanade 의 Optical flow 를 이용하여 얼굴 모션을 추정한다. 정확한 얼굴 모션 추정을 하기 위해 IRLS 방법을 이용하여 각 픽셀에 대한 가중치를 설정하게 된다. 또한, 동적 템플릿을 이용해 오랫동안 정확한 얼굴 모션 추정하는 방법을 제안한다.
