A intelligent mobile hexapod robot with various types of sensors and wireless camera is introduced. We show this mobile robot can detect objects well by combining the results of active sensors and image processing algorithm. First, to detect objects, active sensors such as infrared rays sensors and supersonic waves sensors are employed together and calculates the distance in real time between the object and the robot using sensor's output. The difference between the measured value and calculated value is less than 5%. This paper suggests effective visual detecting system for moving objects with specified color and motion information. The proposed method includes the object extraction and definition process which uses color transformation and AWUPC computation to decide the existence of moving object. We add weighing values to each results from sensors and the camera. Final results are combined to only one value which represents the probability of an object in the limited distance. Sensor fusion technique improves the detection rate at least 7% higher than the technique using individual sensor.

In this paper, we investigate a real-time environment recognition system based on stereo vision for moving object. This system consists of stereo matching, obstacle detection and distance estimation. In stereo matching part, depth maps can be obtained real road images captured adjustable baseline stereo vision system using belief propagation(BP) algorithm. In detection part, various obstacles are detected using only depth map in case of both v-disparity and column detection method under the real road environment. Finally in estimation part, asymmetric parabola fitting with NCC method improves estimation of obstacle detection. This stereo vision system can be applied to many applications such as unmanned vehicle and robot.

This study proposes a novel video traffic flow detection method based on machine vision technology. The three-frame difference method, which is one kind of a motion evaluation method, is used to establish initial background image, and then a statistical scoring strategy is chosen to update background image in real time. Finally, the background difference method is used for detecting the moving objects. Meanwhile, a simple but effective shadow elimination method is introduced to improve the accuracy of the detection for moving objects. Furthermore, the study also proposes a vehicle matching and tracking strategy by combining characteristics, such as vehicle's location information, color information and fractal dimension information. Experimental results show that this detection method could quickly and effectively detect various traffic flow parameters, laying a solid foundation for enhancing the degree of automation for traffic management.

A moving object detection algorithm for surveillance video is here proposed which employs background initialization based on two-stage median filtering and a background updating method based on state transition diagram. In the background initialization, the spatiotemporal similarity is measured in the subinterval. From the accumulated difference between the base frame and the other frames in a subinterval, the regions affected by moving objects are located. The median is applied over the subsequence in the subinterval in which regions share similarity. The outputs from each subinterval are filtered by a two-stage median filter. The background of every frame is updated by the suggested state transition diagram The object is detected by the difference between the current frame and the updated background. The proposed method showed good results even for busy, crowded sequences which included moving objects from the first frame.

본 논문은 궤적을 군집화하여 혼잡한 영상에서 이동 객체를 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 객체의 외형 정보에 기반한 기존의 방법들과는 달리 객체의 움직임 정보만을 이용해 이동 객체를 검출한다. 이를 위하여 입력 영상의 매 프레임에서 특징점을 추출하며, 인접한 프레임간의 추적 과정을 통하여 특징점들의 궤적을 생성한다. 동일 객체에서 얻어진 궤적들은 유사한 움직임을 보일 것이라는 가정 하에 군집화 과정을 통하여 이동 객체를 검출한다. 궤적들의 군집화를 위하여 특징점 간의 위치, 움직임, 연속성에 기반한 에너지 함수로 궤적 간 유사도를 측정하였으며, conditional random fields (CRFs)를 이용하여 최적의 군집을 결정하였다. 기존의 궤적 군집화를 통한 이동 객체 검출 방법이 군집화 과정에서 한번 잘못 분류된 궤적은 잘못된 결과를 생성하는 것과는 달리, 제안한 방법에서는 군집화가 CRFs 상에서 에너지 최소화에 의해 수행되기 때문에 잘못 분류된 궤적이 반복 과정에서 다시 올바른 군집으로 재배열되는 것이 가능하다. 제안한 방법의 성능 측정을 위하여 서로 다른 혼잡도를 가지는 세 개의 영상을 이용하였으며, 약 94%의 검출률과 7%의 허위 경보율을 나타내었다.

비디오 시퀀스에서 움직임 있는 객체의 실시간 검출 및 추적은 스마트 감시 시스템에서 매우 중요한 요소로 분류되고 있다. 본 논문에서 우리는 움직임이 있는 객체의 검출을 위해 클라우지우스 엔트로피와 적응적 가우시안 혼합모델을 사용한 객체 검출 방법을 제안한다. 먼저, 엔트로피의 증가는 일반적으로 불안전한 조건에서 많은 엔트로피의 변화가 발생한 경우 복잡성 및 객체의 움직임이 증가함을 의미한다. 만약 순간적으로 엔트로피 변화가 큰 화소는 움직임 객체에 속한다고 고려하여 움직임 분할 특성을 적용한다. 따라서 우리는 먼저 클라우지우스 엔트로피 이론을 적용하여 엔트로피에 대한 에너지 변화량을 dense 맵으로 변환한다. 두 번째로 우리는 움직임 객체를 검출하기 위해 적응적 가우시안 혼합 모델을 적용하였다. 실험 결과에서 제안된 방법이 효율적으로 움직임이 있는 객체를 검출할 수 있었다.

The construction of panoramic images on smartphones and low-powered devices is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a new approach for smoothly stitching images on mobile phones in the presence of moving objects in the scene. Our main contributions include handling moving object problems, reducing processing time, and generating rectangular panoramic images. First, unique and robust feature points are extracted using fast ORB method and a feature matching technique is applied to match the extracted feature points. After obtaining good matched feature points, we employ the non-deterministic RANSAC algorithm to discard wrong matches, and the hommography transformation matrix parameters are estimated with the algorithm. Afterward, we determine precise overlap regions of neighboring images and calculate their absolute differences. Then, thresholding operation and noise removal filtering are applied to create a mask of possible moving object regions. Sequentially, an optimal seam is estimated using dynamic programming algorithm, and a combination of linear blending with the mask information is applied to avoid seam transition and ghosting artifacts. Finally, image-cropping operation is utilized to obtain a rectangular boundary image from the stitched image. Experiments demonstrate that our method is able to produce panoramic images quickly despite the existence of moving objects.

We present a scalable object tracking framework, which is capable of removing shadows and tracking the people. The framework consists of background subtraction, fuzzy based shadow removal and boundary tracking algorithm. This work proposes a general-purpose method that combines statistical assumptions with the object-level knowledge of moving objects, apparent objects, and shadows acquired in the processing of the previous frames. Pixels belonging to moving objects and shadows are processed differently in order to supply an object-based selective update. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is able to track the object boundaries under significant shadows with noise and background clutter.

This paper proposes an object detection method based on motion estimation using background subtraction in the fisheye images obtained through omni-directional camera mounted on the vehicle. Recently, most of the vehicles installed with rear camera as a standard option, as well as various camera systems for safety. However, differently from the conventional object detection using the image obtained from the camera, the embedded system installed in the vehicle is difficult to apply a complicated algorithm because of its inherent low processing performance. In general, the embedded system needs system-dependent algorithm because it has lower processing performance than the computer. In this paper, the location of object is estimated from the information of object's motion obtained by applying a background subtraction method which compares the previous frames with the current ones. The real-time detection performance of the proposed method for object detection is verified experimentally on embedded board by comparing the proposed algorithm with the object detection based on LKOF (Lucas-Kanade optical flow).
