  • Tracking of the moving object, which is realized by the computer vision, is used for military and industrial fields. It is the application technique with imply complicated processing for understanding the input images. But, in these days, the most moving object tracking algorithms have many difficult problems. A typical problem is the increase of calculation time depending on target number. For this reason, there are many studies to solve real time processing problems and errors for background environmental change. In this paper, we used optical flow which is one of moving object tracking algorithms. It represents vector of the moving object. Optical flow estimation based on the regularization method depends on iteration method but it is very sensitive the noise. We proposed a new method using the Combinatorial Hough Transform (CHT) and Voting Accumulation in order to find optimal constraint lines. Also, we used the logical operation in order to release the operation time. The proposed method can easily and accurately extract the optical flow of moving object area and the moving information. We have simulated the proposed method using the test images. This images are included the noise. Experimental results show that the proposed method get better flow and estimate accurately the moving information.

  • In this thesis, an object tracking method based on the active feature model and the optical flow in stereo images is proposed. We acquired the translation information of object of interest and the features of object by utilizing the geometric information and depth of stereo images. Tracking performance is improved for the occlude object with this information by predicting the movement information of features of the occlude object. Rigid and non-rigid objects are experimented. From the result of experiment, the OOI can be real-time tracked from complicate back ground. Besides, we got the improved result of object tracking in any occlusion state, no matter what it is rigid or non-rigid object.

  • EOTS(Electro-Optical Tracking System) provides stabilized images while tracking a moving target. The key of geo-pointing is the function that fixes EOTS's sight to a specific position(geo-point) throughout aircraft maneuvers. In this paper, a major error source for the geo-pointing is identified as the transport delay of navigation information, and an augmented Kalman filter is designed to estimate the present attitude of aircraft using delayed navigation information. Simulation results including the presented scheme shows that the error due to the information transport delay reduces under half.

  • In this paper, we propose a new adaptive stereo object tracking system that can be used when the back ground image is complex and the cameras are not fixed . In this method, we used the Block Matching Algorithm to separate the tracking object form the background image and then the optical JTC system is used to obtain the convergence-controlling and pa/tilt-controlling values fro the left and right cameras. the experimental results are found to track the object robustly & adaptively for the object tracking in various background images, and the possibility of real-time implementation of the proposed system by using the optical JTC is also suggested.

  • In order to improve target tracking performance of the conventional electro-optical tracking system (EOTS) in the high speed and high maneuvering vehicle, an EOTS navigation algorithm is proposed, in which an inertial measurement unit(IMU) is included and navigation results of the vehicle are used. The proposed algorithm integrates vehicle's navigation results and the IMU and the time-delay and the scale factor errors are augmented into the integrated Kalman filter. In order to evaluate the proposed navigation algorithm, a land vehicle navigation experiments were performed a navigation grade navigation system, TALIN4000 and a tactical grade IMU, LN-200 and a equipment for roll motion were loaded on the land vehicle. The performance evaluation results show that the proposed algorithm effecting works in high maneuvering environment and for the time-delay.

  • In a visual driver-assistance system, separating moving objects from fixed objects are an important problem to maintain multiple hypothesis for the state. Color and edge-based tracker can often be "distracted" causing them to track the wrong object. Many researchers have dealt with this problem by using multiple features, as it is unlikely that all will be distracted at the same time. In this paper, we improve the accuracy and robustness of real-time tracking by combining a color histogram feature with a brightness of Optical Flow-based feature under a Sequential Monte Carlo framework. And it is also excepted from Tracking as time goes on, reducing density by Adaptive Particles Number in case of the fixed object. This new framework makes two main contributions. The one is about the prediction framework which separating moving objects from fixed objects and the other is about measurement framework to get a information from the visual data under a partial occlusion.

  • In this study, a visual sensor system which can detect I-butt weld joint with height variation and includes a seam tracking algorithm was investigated. Three-dimensional position of an object can be acquired by using the method of distance measurement, i.e., an optical trigonometry which results from the spatial relations between the camera, the object and the structured light by a visible laser. Effects of laser intensity and iris number for the image quality as well as object material were investigated for the optical system design. For the image processing, a region of interest is defined from the whole image and a line image of laser is drew by using the gray level difference in the image. From the drew laser line, the weld joint can be recognized in searching the biggest point position calculated from the central difference method. Through a series of welding experiments, a good tracking performance was confirmed under GMA welding.

  • Recently, Optical BJTC as a new approach for real-time multi-target tracking has been intensively studied. But the conventional system has some problems in the practical applications such as the false alarm and target missing and low correlation efficiency, and these poor performances are analyzed to be deeply dependent on the binarization method. So, in this paper, a new BJTC system which has the improved performances in target discrimination and diffraction efficiency is suggested, which is based on the JTPS having the same properties with those of the matched filter and new power spectrum binarization method to use effectively the high frequency components of the JTPS signal. Through the computer simulation and some experiments, the performances of the new BJTC tracking system are analyzed and proved to be superior to those of the conventional system baseds on Median method in multi- target tracking problems.

  • 광 fiber를 이용한 새로운 구조의 초고속 광디스크 드라이버를 제안하였다. 기존의 광 픽 업 모듈을 레리져 다이오드, 광검출기, 렌즈 및 각종 광학계등의 무거운 부분과 GRIN렌즈 및 초경량의 PD로만 구성되는 광 헤드의 가벼운 부분으로 분리하였다. 무거운 부분은 Fixed part로 고정시키고 가벼운 부분만을 Moving part로 함으로써 광 헤드의 tracking 속도를 증가 시켰다. 또한 컴퓨터의 하드디스크 드라이버에서와 같은 초고속의 Pivot-arm tracking방식 을 채용하기 위해 Fixed part와 Moving part를 광 fiber를 이용해 접속하였으며 이 새로운 구 조에서 데이타 신호, tracking 및 focusing 에러 신호를 검출하는 메커니즘에 대해 설명하였다.
