일반적으로 카메라는 좁은 시각 영역(field of view)를 가짐으로 인해, 넓은 영역의 뷰를 얻기 위해서는 모터를 이용하여 카메라를 팬/틸트시키는 것이 일반적이다. 하지만, 이들은 아직까지 기계적으로 카메라를 직접 움직여 원하는 영역의 영상을 보여주기 때문에, 내구성이 떨어지며 생산 원가도 많이 든다. 또한 움직임으로 인한 모션 블러 현상도 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 한번에 보은 지역을 촬영할 수 있고, 비기계적으로 팬/틸트가 가능한 카메라 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 한번의 촬영으로 널은 영역을 얻기 위해, 어안렌즈를 CCD 센서와 항께 사용한다. 또한, 어안렌즈(fish-eye lens)를 통해 얻은 왜곡된 영상을 와핑 기술을 이용해 편 다음, 원하는 부분의 영상을 보여준다. 본 논문은 TI사의 TMS320DSC25 프로세서로 구현하였으며, 어안 렌즈 캘리브레이션 및 실시간 왜곡 보정, 영상 출력을 위한 방법을 소개한다.

본 논문에서는 인간의 눈 움직임이 반영된 물체 추적 기능을 모방하여 CCD 카메라를 통하여 실시간으로 입력되는 영상 데이터로부터 특징기반 정합방법을 응용하여 움직임 정보를 추출한 후, 팬-틸트(pan-tilt) 기능의 하드웨어를 제어하여 실시간으로 이동하는 물체를 효율적으로 추적하는 시스템을 제안하였다. 기존의 연구들에서는 주로 물체의 색상값을 이용하여 추적이 이루어지므로 조명이나 카메라의 변화에 따라 이동 물체를 놓치거나 유사한 색의 다른 물체를 잘못 추적하는 문제가 있었다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 측정기반의 정합을 응용하여 이동하는 카메라에서 이동물체를 추출하고 이 이동 물체의 좌표를 이동하여 팬-틸트 하드웨어를 제어하여 추적을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 본 시스템은 움직이는 물체를 감지해서 팬-틸트 하드웨어를 올바르게 제어하며 카메라의 움직임을 보정해가며 전체적으로 움직이는 영상 내에서 실제 움직이는 물체를 일관성 있게 추적하는 만족스러운 결과를 보인다.

In this paper, a new intelligent moving target tracking and surveillance system basing on the pan/tilt-embedded stereo camera system is suggested and implemented. In the proposed system, once the face area of a target is detected from the input stereo image by using a YCbCr color model and then, using this data as well as the geometric information of the tracking system, the distance and 3D information of the target are effectively extracted in real-time. Basing on these extracted data the pan/tilted-embedded stereo camera system is adaptively controlled and as a result, the proposed system can track the target adaptively under the various circumstance of the target. From some experiments using 80 frames of the test input stereo image, it is analyzed that standard deviation of the position displacement of the target in the horizontal and vertical directions after tracking is kept to be very low value of 1.82, 1.11, and error ratio between the measured and computed 3D coordinate values of the target is also kept to be very low value of 0.5% on average. From these good experimental results a possibility of implementing a new real-time intelligent stereo target tracking and surveillance system using the proposed scheme is finally suggested.

The stability of object tracking in non-stationary camera environment, such as intelligent surveillance system using a pan/tilt camera, is less stable compared with stationary camera environment. This is due to the fact that it is difficult to model a background image in non-stationary environment. In this letter, we propose a non-stationay pan/tilt camera surveillance system which uses a stop/go procedure together with a real-time active contour. The proposed system can track the object stable even in an environment where only a few difference frames can be obtained.

We generally used electric optical sensors in order to detect and identify sea objects efficiently. However due to the limitation of view-angle, the region acquired from the sense is restricted. So it is necessary to generate panoramic image from sea images acquired from pan-tilt camera. Previous mosaicing method is not able to generate panoramic image for sea environment because intensity is similar to all region and time varying. In this paper, we proposed new algorithm for generating high-resolution panoramic image on sea environment. Proposed algorithm use single-view point model, applying mosaicing result in feature environment to in sea environment, we overcame the limitation of previous method. In the result of virtual and real experiment, we showed that proposed algorithm is efficient for generating sea panoramic image.

This paper introduces a robot eye module, of which two degree-of-freedom motions, i.e. panning and tilting, are driven by a pair of wires. The main feature of the module is that each wire can generate push-pull motion without buckling. It is thanks to a Teflon tube which guides the path of the moving wire. End points of the tube and wire have pivot elements so that a smooth push-pull motion is produced even when the end point of wire is moved by eye rotation. This mechanism helps the eye module to be very compact. In this paper, the structure of the robot eye module is introduced in detail, and the required motor angles for a certain direction of eye line are investigated analytically and experimentally.

In this paper, a web based remote control system located at too dangerous field to access for the worker. The system was designed and implemented for three-dimensional stereo camera connected to web server which can be controlled easily by client side person working in the safe monitoring room. The user in the client side can control the vergence/focus control and zoom-in/out and pan/tilt functions through an user interface. The user interface for remote control environment was designed and implemented with Java applet mechanism, and was tested the operation result of the system.

The research and development for autonomous mobile robots has widely been reported. This paper describes a fuzzy logic based visual servoing system for an autonomous mobile robot. An existing system always needs to keep a moving object in overall image. This makes difficult to move the autonomous mobile robot spontaneously. In this paper we first explain an autonomous mobile robot and fuzzy logic system. And then we design a fuzzy logic based visual servoing system. We extract some features of the object from an overall image and then design a fuzzy logic system for controlling the visual servoing system to an exact position. We here introduce a shooting robot that can track an object and hit it. We show that the proposed system presents a desirable performance by a computer simulation and some experiments.
