In this paper, is propose to the object(human) dection method using geometrical structures and projection histograms in the image. The problem of existing methods for objects tracking of background subtracted is resulted from uncertainty at background unfixed. In this paper, two methods are applied to solve problem. This problems are proved by method. This problems is demonstrated by using this methods and applied to the train railroad crossing. Therefore, this paper aims that this contributes to improve the accident of the train railroad crossing.

This paper describes a method of road tracking by using a vision and laser with extracting road boundary (road lane and curb) for navigation of intelligent transport robot in structured road environments. Road boundary information plays a major role in developing such intelligent robot. For global navigation, we use a global positioning system achieved by means of a global planner and local navigation accomplished with recognizing road lane and curb which is road boundary on the road and estimating the location of lane and curb from the current robot with EKF(Extended Kalman Filter) algorithm in the road assumed that it has prior information. The complete system has been tested on the electronic vehicles which is equipped with cameras, lasers, GPS. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the combined laser and vision system by our approach for detecting the curb of road and lane boundary detection.

In this paper, we propose the real-time system that detects and recognizes the human face by PTZ camara. Generally, Face detection algorithms are disturbed by variable illuminations in a image. To avoid those, we use the robust adaboost algorithm for face detection. For recognition, we use PCA algorithm. we focus on the real-time system. It will be necessary in many applications.

In this paper, we propose a real-time approach for detecting and tracking a hand region by analyzing depth images. We build a hand model in advance. The model has the shape information of a hand. The detecting process extracts out moving areas in an image, which are possibly caused by moving a hand in front of a camera. The moving areas can be identified by analyzing accumulated difference images and applying the region growing technique. The extracted moving areas are compared against a hand model to get justified as a hand region. The tracking process keeps the track of center points of hand regions of successive frames. For this purpose, it involves three steps. The first step is to determine a seed point that is the closest point to the center point of a previous frame. The second step is to perform region growing to form a candidate region of a hand. The third step is to determine the center point of a hand to be tracked. This point is searched by the mean-shift algorithm within a confined area whose size varies adaptively according to the depth information. To verify the effectiveness of our approach, we have evaluated the performance of our approach while changing the shape and position of a hand as well as the velocity of hand movement.

An active object tracking algorithm using Pan and Tilt camera based in the stepwise application of region and color information from realtime image sequences is proposed. To reduce environment noises in input sequences, Gaussian filtering is performed first. An image is divided into background and objects by using the adaptive Gaussian mixture model. Once the target object is detected, an initial search window close to an object region is set up and color information is extracted from the region. We track moving objects in realtime by using the CAMShift algorithm which enables to trace objects in active camera with the color information. The proper tracking is accomplished by controlling the amount of pan and tilt to be placed the center position of object into the middle of field of view. The experimental results show that the proposed method is more effective than the hand-operated window method.

Object tracking in a real time image is one of Interesting subjects in computer vision and many practical application fields past couple of years. But sometimes existing systems cannot find object by recognize background noise as object. This paper proposes a method of object detection and tracking using adaptive background image in real time. To detect object which does not influenced by illumination and remove noise in background image, this system generates adaptive background image by real time background image updating. This system detects object using the difference between background image and input image from camera. After setting up MBR(minimum bounding rectangle) using the internal point of detected object, the system tracks object through this MBR. In addition, this paper evaluates the test result about performance of proposed method as compared with existing tracking algorithm.

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.

The pulse compression technique using Linear FM signal is commonly used for improving the performance of both the detection range and range resolution in radar system. In general, the compressed LFM waveform has relatively large sidelobe level which may prevent a target from being detected when strong jammer or clutter signal is near the target signal. In this paper, we propose a new weighting method which uses the square-root weight to suppress the sidelobe level. Typical applications are missile seekers and tracking radar systems where target tracking range is available prior to the signal processing. By computer simulation, we show that the performance of the proposed method is better than that of the conventional weighting methods in terms of sidelobe suppression.

In this paper, we propose a method to track the movement of camera from the video sequences. This method is useful for video analysis and can be applied as pre-processing step in some application such as video stabilizer and marker-less augmented reality. First, we extract the features in each frame using corner point detection. The features in current frame are then compared with the features in the adjacent frames to calculate the optical flow which represents the relative movement of the camera. The optical flow is then analyzed to obtain camera movement parameter. The final step is camera movement estimation and correction to increase the accuracy. The method performance is verified by generating a 3D map of camera movement and embedding 3D object to the video. The demonstrated examples in this paper show that this method has a high accuracy and rarely produce any jitter.

Latest advances in network sensor technology and state of the art of mobile robot, and artificial intelligence research can be employed to develop autonomous and distributed monitoring systems. In this study, as the preliminary step for developing a multi-purpose "Intelligent Space" platform to implement advanced technologies easily to realize smart services to human. We will give an explanation for the ISpace system architecture designed and implemented in this study and a short review of existing techniques, since there exist several recent thorough books and review paper on this paper. Instead we will focus on the main results with relevance to the DIND data fusion with CI of Intelligent Space. We will conclude by discussing some possible future extensions of ISpace. It is first dealt with the general principle of the navigation and guidance architecture, then the detailed functions tracking multiple objects, human detection and motion assessment, with the results from the simulations run.
