In recent years, the research of 3D mapping technique in urban environments obtained by mobile robots equipped with multiple sensors for recognizing the robot's surroundings is being studied actively. However, the map generated by simple integration of multiple sensors data only gives spatial information to robots. To get a semantic knowledge to help an autonomous mobile robot from the map, the robot has to convert low-level map representations to higher-level ones containing semantic knowledge of a scene. Given a 3D point cloud of an urban scene, this research proposes a method to recognize the objects effectively using 3D graph model for autonomous mobile robots. The proposed method is decomposed into three steps: sequential range data acquisition, normal vector estimation and incremental graph-based segmentation. This method guarantees the both real-time performance and accuracy of recognizing the objects in real urban environments. Also, it can provide plentiful data for classifying the objects. To evaluate a performance of proposed method, computation time and recognition rate of objects are analyzed. Experimental results show that the proposed method has efficiently in understanding the semantic knowledge of an urban environment.

Most of ubiquitous computing devices such as stereo camera, ultrasonic sensor based MIT cricket system and other wireless sensor network devices are widely applied to the 2 Dimensional(2D) localization system in today. Because stereo camera cannot estimate the optimal location between moving node and beacon node in Wireless Personal Area Network(WPAN) under Non Line Of Sight(NLOS) environment, it is a great weakness point to the design of the 2D localization system in indoor environment. But the conventional 2D triangulation scheme that is adapted to the MIT cricket system cannot estimate the 3 Dimensional(3D) coordinate values for estimation of the optimal location of the moving node generally. Therefore, the 3D triangulation scheme based on the space segmentation in WPAN is suggested in this paper. The measuring data in the suggested scheme by computer simulation is compared with that of the geographic measuring data in the AutoCAD software system. The average error of coordinates values(x,y,z) of the moving node is calculated to 0.008m by the suggested scheme. From the results, it can be seen that the location correctness of the suggested scheme is very excellent for using the localization system in WPAN.

This paper describes an automatic 3-dimensional (3D) segmentation method for 3D CT (Computed Tomography) images using region growing (RG) and edge detection techniques. Specifically, an augmented RG method in which the contours of regions are extracted by a 3D digital edge detection filter is presented. The feature of this method is the capability of preventing the leakage of regions which is a defect of conventional RG method. Experimental results applied to the extraction of teeth from 3D CT data of jaw bones show that teeth are correctly extracted by the proposed method.

In this paper, we suggest a new camera capturing and synthesizing algorithm with the multi-captured left and right images for the better comfortable feeling of 3D depth and also propose 3D image capturing hardware system based on the this new algorithm. We also suggest the simple control algorithm for the calibration of camera capture system with zooming function based on a performance index measure which is used as feedback information for the stabilization of focusing control problem. We also comment on the theoretical mapping theory concerning projection under the assumption that human is sitting 50cm in front of and watching the 3D LCD screen for the captured image based on the modeling of pinhole Camera. We choose 9 segmentations and propose the method to find optimal alignment and focusing based on the measure of alignment and sharpness and propose the synthesizing fusion with the optimized 9 segmentation images for the best 3D depth feeling.

In this paper, implementation mode image segmentation method for separate image is presented. The method of segmentation image in conventional method, the error are generated by the threshold values. To improve these problem for segmentation image, the calculation of weighting factor using brightness distribution by histogram of stored images are proposed. For safe image of object and laser image, the computed weighting factor is set to the threshold value. Therefore the image erosion and spread are improved, the correct and reliable informations can be measured. In this paper, the system of 3-D extracting information using the proposed algorithm can be applied to manufactory automation, building automation, security guard system, and detecting information system for all of the industry areas.

This paper describes a new method for 3D object recognition which used surface segment-based stereo vision. The position and orientation of an objects is identified accurately enabling a robot to pick up, even though the objects are multiple and partially occluded. The stereo vision is used to get the 3D information as 3D sensing, and CAD model with its post processing is used for building models. Matching is initially performed using the model and object features, and calculate roughly the object's position and orientation. Though the fine adjustment step, the accuracy of the position and orientation are improved.

This paper presents a new method for building detection and reconstruction from aerial images. In our approach, we extract the useful building location information from the generated disparity map to obtain the segmentation of interested objects and thus reduce significantly unnecessary line segment extracted in low level feature extraction step. Hypothesis selection is carried out by using undirected graph in which close cycles represent complete rooftops hypotheses, and hypothesis are finally tested to contruct building model. We test the proposed method with synthetic images generated from Avenches dataset of Ascona aerial images. The experiment result shows that the extracted 3D line segments of the buildings can be efficiently used for the task of building detection and reconstruction from aerial images.

건축, 토목, 의료, 컴퓨터 그래픽스 분야 등 다양한 분야에서 이용되는 3D point cloud는 최근 레이저 스캐너의 발달로 인해 그 용량이 점점 커지게 되었다. 컴퓨터 메모리의 용량을 넘어서서 모든 데이터를 한 번에 처리할 수 없는 대용량 3D point cloud를 가시화하고 편집하기 위해 여러 전처리 및 가시화 방법들이 소개되었고 본 논문에서 비교한 QSplat의 경우 3D 모델의 형상 확인과 용량 감소를 목적으로 원본 좌표를 손실 압축하여 저장하였다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 방법은 3D point cloud를 정육면체 격자로 분할하고 center sampling을 통해 가상점 집합을 생성하며 가시화 과정에서 격자에 저장된 point 집합 취득을 통한 빠른 렌더링이 가능하다. 홍익대학교 인근 지역을 측정한 약 1억 2천만 개 point의 대용량 3D point cloud를 QSplat과 다단계 정육면체 격자 기반 방법으로 비교한 결과 전처리 과정에서는 QSplat이, 가시화 과정에서는 다단계 정육면체 격자 기반 방법이 빠른 속도를 보여주었다. 또한 다단계 정육면체 격자 기반 방법은 point의 원본 좌표를 저장하기에 추후 가시화 외에 편집, segmentation 등의 작업을 고려하여 고안되었다.

In this paper, 3-dimensional object segmentation and classification are proposed. Planar object is segmented surface using jump boundary and internal boundary. Curved object is segmented surfaces by maximin clustering method. Segmented surfaces are classified by depth trends and angle measurement of normal vectors. Classified surfaces are merged according to adjacent surfaces and compared to Guassian curvature and mean curvature method. The proposed methods have been successfully applied to the synthetic range images and shows good classification.

3D open-field farm model developed from UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) data could make crop monitoring easier, also could be an important dataset for various fields like remote sensing or precision agriculture. It is essential to separate crops from the non-crop area because labeling in a manual way is extremely laborious and not appropriate for continuous monitoring. We, therefore, made a 3D open-field farm model based on UAV images and developed a crop segmentation model using a supervised machine learning algorithm. We compared performances from various models using different data features like color or geographic coordinates, and two supervised learning algorithms which are SVM (Support Vector Machine) and KNN (K-Nearest Neighbors). The best approach was trained with 2-dimensional data, ExGR (Excess of Green minus Excess of Red) and z coordinate value, using KNN algorithm, whose accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score was 97.85, 96.51, 88.54, 92.35% respectively. Also, we compared our model performance with similar previous work. Our approach showed slightly better accuracy, and it detected the actual crop better than the previous approach, while it also classified actual non-crop points (e.g. weeds) as crops.
