Tracking of moving objects within video streams is a complex and time-consuming process. Large number of moving objects increases the time for computation of tracking the moving objects. Because of large computations, there are real-time processing problems in tracking of moving objects. Also, the change of environment causes errors in estimation of tracking information. In this paper, we present a new method for tracking of moving objects using optical flow motion analysis. Optical flow represents an important family of visual information processing techniques in computer vision. Segmenting an optical flow field into coherent motion groups and estimating each underlying motion are very challenging tasks when the optical flow field is projected from a scene of several moving objects independently. The problem is further complicated if the optical flow data are noisy and partially incorrect. Optical flow estimation based on regulation method is an iterative method, which is very sensitive to the noisy data. So we used the Combinatorial Hough Transform (CHT) and Voting Accumulation for finding the optimal constraint lines. To decrease the operation time, we used logical operations. Optical flow vectors of moving objects are extracted, and the moving information of objects is computed from the extracted optical flow vectors. The simulation results on the noisy test images show that the proposed method finds better flow vectors and more correctly estimates the moving information of objects in the real time video streams.

In this paper, we propose a new approach for tracking a moving object in moving image sequences using active contour models and optical flow. In our approach object segmentation is achieved by active contours, and object tracking is done by motion estimation based on optical flow. To get more dynamic characteristics, Lagrangian dynamics combined to the active contour models. For the optical flow computation, a method, which is based on Spatiotempo-ral Energy Models, is employed to perform robust tracking under poor environments. A prototype real tracking system has been developed and applied to a contents-based video retrieval systems.

This paper proposes a new and simple input prediction method for robust servo system. A robust tracking control system for optical disk drives to reject disk runout was recently proposed based on both Coprime Factorization(CF) and Zero Phase Error Tracking(ZPET) control. The CF control system can be designed simply and systematically. Moreover, this system has not only stability but also robustness to parameter uncertainties and disturbance rejection capability. Since optical disk tracking servo systems can detect only racking error, it was proposed that the reference input signal for ZPET could be estimated from tracking errors. In this paper, we propose a new control structure for the ZPET controller. It requires less memory than the previously proposed method for the reference signal generation. Therefore, it is very effective in runout control. Furthermore, this method can be applied to defective optical disk like surface defects on disk. Numerical simulation and experimental result show the proposed method effective.

본 연구는 칼라기반에서 단일 이동객체 추적을 다루고 있다. 우선 매 영상에서 이동객체 영상의 밝기 변화에 따른 추적 약점을 개선하기 위해 기존의 Camshift 알고리즘을 보완하였다. 보완된 알고리즘도 추적중인 물체와 색상이 같은 주변 물체가 존재할 경우 불안정한 추적을 보여주었는데 본 연구에서는 이를 해결하기 위해 Optical Flow기반의 KLT 알고리즘과 병합하는 방법을 제시하였다. 픽셀기반의 특징점 추적을 수행하는 KLT 알고리즘은 칼라기반의 Camshift의 단점을 보완할 수 있다. 실험 결과 제안된 병합 방법은 기존의 추적단점을 보완하였으며 추적성능이 개선됨을 실험으로 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 Optical Flow Method의 추적 성능을 향상시키기 위한 전처리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 Median Filter, Binarization, Morphology, Canny Edge, Contour Detecting 및 Approximation Method를 기반으로 개발되었다. Optical Flow 추적 성능 향상 여부를 평가하기 위해 Lucas-Kanade Optical Flow 알고리즘에 개발된 전처리 알고리즘을 적용하고, 전처리 알고리즘이 적용되지 않은 Optical Flow 영상과 추적 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 또한, Median Filter와 Histogram Equalization으로 구성된 기존 전처리 알고리즘과의 결과 비교를 통해, 개발된 전처리 알고리즘의 추적 성능 향상여부를 평가하였다. 실험결과, 전처리 알고리즘을 적용하지 않은 영상과 기존 전처리 알고리즘을 적용한 영상은 특징영역의 분할이 이루어지지 않아, Optical Flow의 추적 정확도가 매우 낮게 나타났다. 반면, 개발된 전처리 알고리즘을 적용한 영상에서는 외곽선이 내외부로 세분화되고, 외곽선 트리가 구성됨에 따라 Optical Flow의 추적 성능이 매우 높게 나타났다.

In this paper, we present a schematic method estimating the tracking vibration quantity occurring in the track-following system of an optical recording device. A tracking loop gain adjustment algorithm is introduced to estimate accurately the tracking vibration quantity in spite of the uncertainties of the tracking actuator, Accordingly, the tracking vibration quantity can be estimated from the tracking error, the controller output, the nominal actuator model, and a compensated gain. An optimal tracking controller can be designed from a minimum tracking open-loop gain calculated by the estimated tracking vibration quantity The proposed vibration quantity estimation and controller design method are applied to the track-following system of an optical recording device and are evaluated through the experimental result.

This paper presents a robust tracking controller design method for the track-following system of an optical recording device. A tracking loop gain adjustment algorithm is introduced to accurately estimate the tracking vibration quantity in spite of the uncertainties of the tracking actuator. A minimum tracking open-loop gain is calculated by the estimated tracking vibration quantity and a tolerable limit of tracking error. A robust tracking controller is designed by considering a robust $H_\infty$ control problem with the weighting function of a slightly larger gain than the minimum tracking open-loop gain. The proposed controller design method is applied to the track-following system of an optical recording device and is evaluated through the experimental result.

광학계측분야는 레이더 계측이 어려운 저고도 구간의 계측을 담당하여 비행체 추적에 있어서 중요한 역할을 차지하고 있다. 기존의 광학추적시스템은 외국의 장비를 도입해 사용하고 있기 때문에 시험장 상황에 적합하게 수정하기 어렵고, 대부분 차량 탑재형으로 제작되어 있어 계측 장소에 제한이 있다. 자체 개발 소형 광학추적기는 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해서 단순한 구성으로 설계하여 시험장 내 어떠한 장소에서도 설치하여 운용할 수 있는 것을 주목적으로 하였다. 뿐만 아니라 인공지능 기술을 적용한 광학추적기술 연구를 위해서 자체 개발 광학추적기를 보유할 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 소형 광학추적기의 설계 개념, 기본적인 추적기능 구현을 위한 장비의 구성, 그리고 비행체 특성에 맞는 환경설정을 위한 시뮬레이션을 진행하였다. 이를 위해 팬/틸트의 입출력 데이터를 사용하여 모델링을 구하였으며, 시뮬레이션을 통해 얻어진 결과와 실제 비행시험 결과를 비교하여 전반적인 시뮬레이션의 구성에 대한 타당성을 검증하였다.

A new multi-beam optical system is presented on the grounds of tri-positioning systems in this paper. The system has been developed to improve the data transfer rate for the optical disk system. The actuating system is composed of a tracking and focusing actuating system basically and a newly developed beam rotating actuator. The beam rotating actuator is employed in a multi-beam optical system to trace more than one track simultaneously. The multi-beam optics is established through the optical simulation and several experimental trials. The differential phase tracking method is used in the tracking error signal detection based on the only one beam spot. We also analyze the characteristics of multi-beam optical system. The experimental result shows that the multi-beam positioning system has performance adequate to the multi-beam optical disk system.
