This paper presents an efficient architecture for $2^n$-point DCT algorithm. The proposed approach makes use of the fact that, in most DCT applications, the scaling operation in the DCT unit can be eliminated and combined with the scaling operation in the quantizer unit. This important property is efficiently exploited with the CORDIC(COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer) algorithm to produce a regular architecture suitable for VLSI implementation. Although there have been several attempts to exploit CORDIC algorithm in developing DCT architectures, the proposed approach provides the most efficient way for scaled DCT applications by completely eliminating the scale factor compensation.

In this paper, we proposed the automatical recognition algorithm of bar-code using a vision system, which can be used in the industrial application(code 93). The proposed algorithm extracts the pixels which consist of the bar-code modules unrelated to rotation, then that obtains the elements which consist of bars and spaces. After the obtained elements are divided by nine group, the value of bar-code is recognized. The performance of proposed algorithm is verified through the simulation. The proposed one has good performance.

This paper proposes an optimal three-dimensional coordinate implementation of the vision sensor using two CCD cameras. The PBVS (Position based visual servoing) is implemented using the positional information obtained from images. Stereo vision by PBVS method that has enhanced every frame using calibration parameters is effective in the distance calculation. The IBVS (Image based visual servoing) is also implemented using the difference between reference and obtained images. Stereo vision by IBVS method calculates the distance using rotation angle of motors that correspond eyes and neck without enhanced images. The PBVS method is compared with the IBVS method in terms of advantages, disadvantages, computing time, and performances. Finally, the IBVS method is applied for the dual arm manipulator on the mobile inverted pendulum. The autonomous mobile inverted pendulum is successfully demonstrated using the center of the manipulator's mass.

In this paper we suggest a new two-wheelers detection algorithm using uniform local binary pattern weighting value for projection vectors. The first, we calculate feature vectors using projection method which has robustness for rotation invariant and reducing dimensionality for each cell from origin image. The second, we applied new weighting values which are calculated by the modified local binary pattern showing the fast compute and simple to implement. This paper applied the Adaboost algorithm to make a strong classification from weak classification. In this experiment, we can get the result that the detection rate of the proposed method is higher than that of the traditional method.

본 논문에서는 제약되지 않은 카메라에서 얻어진 회전과 크기 변화를 가진 영상들을 특징 기반의 보로노이 거리 매칭 방법을 이용하여 고속으로 합성 하는 기법에 관해 기술한다. 기존의 특징점 기반 매칭 기법들이 사람의 개입에 의해 영상을 정합하거나, 크기나 회전 변화를 고려하지 않은 형태의 영상들을 처리하는 것과 달리 회전이나 크기변화요소가 포함된 입력영상들을 사람의 개입이 없이 자동으로 정확한 중첩영역을 빠르게 검색하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 우선 영상내의 특징 점들의 위상 정보와 특징 점들 사이의 거리 정보를 가지는 보로노이 거리 정합법을 통해 대응점을 구하고, 찾아진 대응 쌍들을 이용하여 2차원 투영의 초기 변환행렬을 구한다. 다음으로 비선형 이승오차 최적화 알고리즘을 이용하여 최적의 변환 행렬을 구한 후, 마지막으로 구해진 변환 행렬을 이용하여 영상을 합성한다. 실험결과를 통해 본 논문에서 제안한 방법의 효율성을 보인다.

The performance of Motion Compensated Discrete Cosine Transform (MC-DCT) video coding is improved by using the region adaptive subband image coding [18]. On the assumption that the video is acquired from the camera on a moving platform and the distance between the camera and the scene is large enough, both the motion of camera and the motion of moving objects in a frame are compensated. For the compensation of camera motion, a feature matching algorithm is employed. Several feature points extracted using a Sobel operator are used to compensate the camera motion of translation, rotation, and zoom. The illumination change between frames is also compensated. Motion compensated frame differences are divided into three regions called stationary background, moving objects, and newly emerging areas each of which is arbitrarily shaped. Different quantizers are used for different regions. Compared to the conventional MC-DCT video coding using block matching algorithm, our video coding scheme shows about 1.0-dB improvements on average for the experimental video samples.

Recently, the development of computer achieves a system which is similar to the mechanics of human visual system. The 3-dimensional measurement using monocular vision system must be achieved a camera calibration. So far, the camera calibration technique required reference target in a scene. But, these methods are inefficient because they have many calculation procedures and difficulties in analysis. Therefore, this paper proposes a native method that without reference target in a scene. We use the grid type frame with different line widths. This method uses vanishing point concept that possess a rotation parameter of the camera and perspective ration that perspect each line widths into a image. We confirmed accuracy of calibration parameter estimation through experiment on the algorithm with a grid paper with different line widths.

In this paper we deal with visual servoing that can control a robot arm with a camera using information of images only, without estimating 3D position and rotation of the robot arm. Here it is assumed that the robot arm is calibrated and the camera is uncalibrated. We use a pinhole camera model as the camera one. The essential notion can be show, that is, epipolar geometry, epipole, epipolar equation, and epipolar constrain. These play an important role in designing visual servoing. For easy understanding of the proposed method we first show a design in case of the calibrated camera. The design is constructed by 4 steps and the directional motion of the robot arm is fixed only to a constant direction. This means that an estimated epipole denotes the direction, to which the robot arm translates in 3D space, on the image plane.

In this paper, an efficient algorithm is proposed which recognizes the mixed document consisting of the printed Korean/alphanumeric texts and graphic images. In the preprocessing step an input document is aligned if necessary by rotating it. We obtain the rotation angle using the Hough transform and align the input document horizontally. Then we separate graphic image parts from text parts by considering chain codes of connected components. We further separate each character using vertical and horizontal projections. In the recognition step Korean and alphanumeric characters are classified and each of them is recognized hierarchically using several features. In summary an efficient recognition algorithm for mixed documents is proposed and its performance is demonstrated via computer simulations.

To overcome the problems of the existing black box which is exposed to the risk of blind spots in the imaging of a fixed front and rear views of an object, this paper suggests a new intelligent black box that can detect and shoot side views of an object. This paper proposes an algorithm of the intelligent black box with a rotating function in order to compensate for the side blind spot of the vehicle. This intelligent black box with rotating screen adopts the infrared distance sensor to sense an object which approaches to the vehicle and rotates automatically towards the object.
