The capability of environment recognition is very important for mobile robot. Especially, a function of target tracking is necessary in monitoring and watching an object using mobile robot. In general, vision sensors such as CCD camera and laser range finder were used for tracking of a moving target. However, they are not only affected by intensity of illumination in environment but also require high performance processors to process large amount of data. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the construction of target tracking system for mobile robot using only ultrasonic sensors to cope with these problems.

Photon mapping is an efficient global illumination technique for realistic image synthesis that has been developed in computer graphics. In this paper, an adaptive photon mapping in the use of automatic differentiation is proposed. Since the automatic differentiation is used when photons emit from the light sources through the scene, we can check the variation of surrounding shape. Therefore, we can decrease the number of photons and generate an image in relatively low computational cost.

The human centric lighting (HCL) control is a major focus point of the smart lighting system design to provide energy efficient and people mood rhythmic motivation lighting in smart buildings. This paper proposes the HCL control using indoor surveillance camera to improve the human motivation and well-beings in the indoor environments like residential and industrial buildings. In this proposed approach, the indoor surveillance camera video streams are used to predict the day lights and occupancy, occupancy specific emotional features predictions using the advanced computer vision techniques, and this human centric features are transmitted to the smart building light management system. The smart building light management system connected with internet of things (IoT) featured lighting devices and controls the light illumination of the objective human specific lighting devices. The proposed concept experimental model implemented using RGB LED lighting devices connected with IoT features open-source controller in the network along with networked video surveillance solution. The experiment results are verified with custom made automatic lighting control demon application integrated with OpenCV framework based computer vision methods to predict the human centric features and based on the estimated features the lighting illumination level and colors are controlled automatically. The experiment results received from the demon system are analyzed and used for the real-time development of a lighting system control strategy.

This system can predict the maximum output about all illumination levels so that the PV system designer can design the system having the best efficiency. For the output prediction exact about the solar cell, that is the device the basis most in the PV system, the basis has to be in order to try this way. The solution based on Lambert W-function are presented to express the transcendental current-voltage characteristic containing parasitic power consuming parameters like series and shunt resistances. A simple and efficient method for the extraction of a single current-voltage (I-V) curve under the constant illumination level is proposed. With the help of the Lambert W function, the explicit analytic expression for I is obtained. And the explicit analytic expression for V is obtained. This analytic expression is directly used to fit the experimental data and extract the device parameters. The I-V curve of the solar cell was expressed through the modeling using Lambert W-function and the numerical formula where there is the difficulty could be logarithmically expressed This method expresses with the I-V curve through the modeling using Lambert W-function which adds other loss ingredients to the equation2 as to the research afterward. And the solar cell goes as small and this I-V curve can predict the power penalty in the system unit.

The quantity of light available for a space can be translated in term of the amount of energy savings through a process of a building energy simulation. To get significant energy savings in general illumination, the electric lighting system must be incorporated with a daylight - activated dimmer control. A prototype configuration of an once interior has been established and the integration between the building envelope and lighting and HVAC systems is evaluated based on computer modeling of a lighting control facility. First of all, an energy-efficient luminaire system is designed and the lighting analysis program, Lumen-Micro 2000 predicts the optimal layout of a conventional fluorescent lighting future to meet the designed lighting level and calculates unit power density, which translates the demanded met of electric lighting energy. A dimming control system integrated with the contribution of daylighting has been applied to the operating of the artificial lighting. Annual cooling load due to lighting and the projecting saving amount of cooling load due to daylighting under overcast diffuse sky m evaluated by computer software ENER-Win. In brief, the results from building energy simulation with measured daylight illumination levels and the performance of lighting control system indicate that daylighting can save over 70 percent of the required energy for general illumination in the perimeter zones through the year A 25[%] of electric energy for cooling and almost all off heating energy may be saved by dimming and turning off the luminaires in the perimeter zones.

Soil texture has an important influence on agriculture such as crop selection, movement of nutrient and water, soil electrical conductivity, and crop growth. Conventionally, soil texture has been determined in the laboratory using pipette and hydrometer methods requiring significant amount of time, labor, and cost. Recently, in-situ soil texture classification systems using optical diffuse reflectometry or mechanical resistance have been reported, especially for precision agriculture that needs more data than conventional agriculture. This paper is a part of overall research to develop an in-situ soil texture classification system using image processing. Issues investigated in this study were effects of sensor travel speed and light source and intensity on image quality. When travel speed of image sensor increased from 0 to 10 mm/s, travel distance and number of pixel were increased to 3.30 mm and 9.4, respectively. This travel distances were not negligible even at a speed of 2 mm/s (i.e., 0.66 mm and 1.4), and image degradation was significant. Tests for effects of illumination intensity showed that 7 to 11 Lux seemed a good condition minimizing shade and reflection. When soil water content increased, illumination intensity should be greater to compensate decrease in brightness. Results of the paper would be useful for construction, test, and application of the sensor.

In this paper, we propose an audience counting method in an auditorium based on pattern comparison. The previous counting methods based on object detection can't exactly count the audience in real time because auditorium has coarse illumination condition and so many audiences. Therefore, in this paper, we count the audience in an auditorium with fixed seats by the method which the pattern from each reference seat is compared to the pattern from each input seat. Especially, to overcome limitations based on either illumination or noise, two pattern comparison methods are efficiently employed and combined. One is based on the amplitude projection, and the other is based on Walsh-Hadamard Kernel. Walsh-Hadamard Kernel has the characteristic which complements amplitude projection. Therefore, we ran achieve the accurate counting in the presence of coarse illumination and noise. The experimental results show that our method performs well on sequences of images acquired in an auditorium. We also verify a realistic possibility for other applications applying our method to the parking positioning system.

To enhance the resolution and the depth of focus of the patterns whose size reaches the optical resolution limits, the various imaging methods are being tried. Generally in the linear polarization illumination methods, the contrast gap exists between TE mode TM mode according to the pattern direction. However, through the previous research, the elliptical polarization illumination(EPI) method was proposed to overcome this contrast gap. In this research, we investigated the optimal polarization condition to be able to enhance the depth of focus(DOF) for the optional mask which is containing the opposite direction patterns by applying the various polarization conditions including EPI. The DOF according to each polarization condition was obtained by ED-Tree(Exposure-Defocus Tree) for the given exposure dose and CD error boundaries. As the result, we can ascertain th effect of EPI for the enhancement of DOF in some condition of optical system.
