This paper presents automatic moving object detection method using the rotating camera covering larger area with a single camera. The proposed method is based on the edge segment matching which robust to the dynamic environment with illumination change and background movement. The proposed algorithm presents an edge segment based background panorama image generation method minimizing the distortion due to image stitching, the background image generation method using Generalized Hough Transformation which can reliably register the current image to the panorama image overcoming the stitching distortions, the moving edge segment extraction method that overcome viewpoint difference and distortion. The experimental results show that the proposed method can detect correctly moving object under illumination change and camera vibration.

In this paper, we propose a new object tracking system using stereo images to improve the performance of the automatic object tracking system. The existing object tracking system has optimum characteristics, but it requires a lot of computation. In the case of the image with a single eye, the system is difficult to estimate and track for the various transformation of the object. Because the stereo image by both eyes is difficult to estimate the translation and the rotation, this paper deals with the tracking method, which has the ability to track the image for translation for real time, with block matching algorithm in order to decrease the calculation. The experimental results demonstrate the usefulness of proposed system with the recognition rate of 88% in the rotation, 89% in the translation, 88% in various image, and with the mean rate of 88.3%.

This paper proposes a control method for a differential robot to track and follow a moving object based on ultrasonic sensor. To track a target object, the method uses a transmitter and two receivers to get distances from the object. The method derives translational and rotational error by the distances and then it uses the errors to calculate control values based on PID control method. The control values are used to control the robot to follow moving object. The authors do some experimentations to analyze some characteristics such as influence of PID gain, influence of translational and rotational gain. This method not only can be applied for following moving object problem but also can be done group unit control problems.

3D object recognition using only 2D images is a difficult work because each images are generated different to according to the view direction of cameras. Because SIFT algorithm defines the local features of the projected images, recognition result is particularly limited in case of input images with strong perspective transformation. In this paper, we propose the object recognition method that improves SIFT algorithm by using several sequential images captured from rotating 3D object around a rotation axis. We use the geometric relationship between adjacent images and merge several images into a generated feature space during recognizing object. To clarify effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we keep constantly the camera position and illumination conditions. This method can recognize the appearance of 3D objects that previous approach can not recognize with usually SIFT algorithm.

Generally, moving object tracking used Lucas-Kanade feature tracking method which is strong in movement, rotation and size. But this method is very weak of occlusion by background or another object and so on. In this case, this method tracks backgrounds or another objects instead a moving object, or a tracking is finished. In order to solve this problem, we proposes Lucas-Kanade feature tracking method which introduce a destimation function and prediction function.

The purpose of this paper is object recognition even in the presence of occlusion by using generalized Hough transform(GHT). The GHT can be considered as a kind of model based object recognition algorithm and is executed in the following two stages. The first stage is to store the information of the model in the form of R-table (Reference table). The next stage is to identify the existence of the objects in the image by using the R-table. The improved GHT method is proposed for the practical vision system. First, in constructing the R-table, we extracted the partial arc from the portion of the whole object boundary, and this partial arc can be used for constructing the R-table. Also, clustering algorithm is employed for compensating an error arised by digitizing an object image. Second, an efficient method is introduced to avoid Ballard's use of 4-D array which is necessary for estimating position, orientation and scale change of an object. Only 2-D array is enough for recognizing an object. Especially, scale token method is introduced for calculating the scale change which is easily affected by camera zoom. The results of our test show that the improved hierarchical GHT method operates stably in the realistic vision situation, even in the case of object occlusion.

본 논문에서는 활성 템플릿을 이용하여 임의의 형태를 가지는 이동 물체에 대한 정보를 추출하고, 이동 물체를 감지한다. 활성 템플릿을 이용함으로써 기존의 활성 모델에서 추출하지 못했던 이동 물체의 움직임 정보, 즉 전이정보, 회전정보, 크기변화 정보의 추출이 가능하다. 이 방법은 이동물체를 정확하게 감지할 필요없이 활성 템플릿 정합만으로 이동 물체에 대한 정보 추출이 가능하게 한다. 또한 이동 물체에 대한 움직임 정보 추출 후에 활성 템플릿의 윤곽선과 이동 물체 윤곽선간의 차이벡터를 이용하여 템플릿 영역내의 이동 물체 감지가 가능하다. 이것은 기존의 스네이크 알고리즘에 존재하는 지역 최소화 문제에 대한 해결방안이라고 볼 수 있다. 본 논문은 향후 얼굴 표정 인식 및 추적, 사람의 머리 추적, 행위 인식 등에 응용이 가능하다.

The barrel cam, which is a type of cylindrical cam, has been widely used as a part of index drive units for automatic manufacturing machines. The axis of rotation of the barrel cam is orthogonal to the axis of rotation of the follower. The index drive rotates or dwells depending on the cam profile, while the cam rotates with a constant velocity. Continuous sliding contact between the barrel cam and the follower surfaces causes wearing of the adhesive between them. This study shows that the contact force between two sliding bodies is responsible for the wear of the barrel cam in the paper-cup-forming machine. This contact force is calculated by using the multibody dynamics model of the paper-cup-forming machine. The analytical result is validated by comparing it to the actual wear spots on the real product.

본 논문에서는 물체들의 이동(translation) 축적(scale) 그리고 회전방향(orientation)에 무관하게 물체를 인식하는 실용적인 패턴 인식 시스템을 소개한다. 이 시스템은 2진영상으로 변환하는데 필요한 임계치(threshold)의 큰 변화에도 덜 민감하다. 특징 벡터(feature vector)로 서는 Zernike 모멘트를 사용하였는데 지금까지 잘 알려진 Hu가 제안한 7개의 모멘트 불변수 (moment invariants)와 비교한다. 또한, 실용적인 기계 시각(machine vision) 시스템에 대해 세 가지 중요한 문제로서 패턴 정규화(pattern nomalization), Zernike 모멘트의 신속한 계산, 그리고 k-NN 규칙을 이용한 분류 등을 논의하였다. 실험에서는 임의의 회전 방향에서 문자들의 크기가 10x10 화소(pixel)에서 512x512 화소까지 변하는 서로 다른 크기를 가진 인쇄된 62개의 문자와 숫자 그리고 기호들을 서로 다른 임계치에서 인식하는 것을 보여준다.
