This paper realizes control of the motion of a swimming robot fish in order to implement an underwater robot fish aquarium. And it implements positional control of a two-axis trajectory path of the robot fish in the aquarium. The performance of the robot was verified though certified field tests. It provided excellent performance in driving force, durability, and water resistance in experimental results. It can control robot motion, that is, it recognizes an object by using an optical flow object-detecting algorithm, which uses a video camera rather than image-detecting sensors inside the robot fish. It is possible to find the robot's position and control the motion of the robot fish using a radio frequency (RF) modem controlled via personal computer. This paper proposes realization of robot fish motion-tracking control using the optical flow object-detecting algorithm. It was verified via performance tests of lead-lag action control of robot fish in the aquarium.

This paper presents a method of implementing efficient optical flow estimation for dynamic scene analysis using the hierarchical Hopfield neural networks. Given the two consequent inages, Zhou and Chellappa suggested the Hopfield neural network for computing the optical flow. The major problem of this algorithm is that Zhou and Chellappa's network accompanies self-feedback term, which forces them to check the energy change every iteration and only to accept the case where the lower the energy level is guaranteed. This is not only undesirable but also inefficient in implementing the Hopfield network. The another problem is that this model cannot allow the exact computation of optical flow in the case that the disparities of the moving objects are large. This paper improves the Zhou and Chellapa's problems by modifying the structure of the network to satisfy the convergence condition of the Hopfield model and suggesting the hierarchical algorithm, which enables the computation of the optical flow using the hierarchical structure even in the presence of large disparities.

An image compensating algorithm with high-vibration movement is proposed, using optical flow and the Kalman Filter. The temporal motion vector field is calculated by Optical flow and suspicious vectors are removed or adjusted by the Gaussian interpolation method. The high-vibrated vector filled is stabilized by the Kalman filter. Lastly, compensated images are obtained by affine transformation. This proposed algorithm gives good compensated video images on high-vibration situations.

An asynchronous optical packet-switching (AOPS) node with load-balancing capability can achieve better performance in reducing the high packet-loss ratio (PLR) and time delay caused by unbalanced traffic. This paper proposes a novel dynamic load-balancing algorithm for an AOPS node with limited buffer and without wavelength converters, and considering the data flow distribution and service levels. By calculating the occupancy state of the output ports, load state of the input ports, and priorities for data flow, the traffic is balanced accordingly. Simulations demonstrate that asynchronous variant data packets and output traffic can be automatically balanced according to service levels and the data flow distribution. A PLR of less than 0.01% can be achieved, as well as an average time delay of less than 0.46 ns.

Stereo matching algorithm is usually used to obtain a disparity map from a pair of images. However, the disparity map obtained by using stereo matching contains lots of noise and error regions. In this paper, we propose a virtual-view synthesis algorithm using disparity refinement in order to improve the quality of the synthesized image. First, the error region is detected by examining the consistency of the disparity maps. Then, motion information is acquired by applying optical flow to texture component of the image in order to improve the performance. Then, the occlusion region is found using optical flow on the texture component of the image in order to improve the performance of the optical flow. The refined disparity map is finally used for the synthesis of the virtual view image. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm improves the quality of the generated virtual-view.

Optical flow는 물체의 속도 결정과 추적 뿐만 아니라 영상분할과 물체의 3차원 정보로서도 중요하다. 순차적인 영상으로부터 optical flow를 계산하기 위하여 경사법 알고리듬이 많이 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 경사법의 문제점인 영상전체에 대한 속도벡터의 평활화 현상을 국부적으로 한정시키기 위하여 스칼라 경계선을 이용하는 새로운 주위평균 계산방법을 제시하였으며, optical flow의 분산의 역치로 가중된 평균을 이용하여 이동경계 주위와 폐색영역에서 발생되는 속도오차를 감소시켰다.

There have been many homing navigation algorithms for robotic system. In this paper, we suggest a bio-inspired navigation model. It builds path integration based on optical flow. We consider two factors on robot movements, translational movement and rotational movement. For each movement, we found distinguishable optical flows. Based on optical flow, we estimate ego-centric robot movement and integrate the path optimally. We can determine the homing direction and distance. We test this algorithm and evaluate the performance of homing navigation for robotic system.

두 영상에서 정확한 광류를 얻고자 할 경우, 잘못 정합된 광류의 수가 전체의 80%이상일 경우에도, 정합이 잘된 광류만을 빠르고 안정적으로 추출하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법은 다음과 같은 단계로 구성된 그룹화 알고리즘이다. 1)광류의 방향과 길이성분으로 구성된 2차원 히스토그램을 구성한 후, 2)2차원 히스토그램에서 광류수가 높은 그룹들부터 내림차 순으로 정리한 후 각 그룹에서 광류수가 적은 그룹은 제거한다. 또, 3)선택된 그룹들의 광류수가 20% 이상일때는 히스토그램의 분해율를 증가 시키고, 10% 이하일 경우에는 히스토그램의 분해율을 감소시켜서 위 과정을 반복한다. 선택된 그룹들의 광류수가 10%에서 20%사이에 올 때까지 이 반복을 계속한다. 제안한 알고리즘을 잘못된 광류가 많이 포함된 다양한 종류의 영상에 대해서 적용한 결과 강건하게 정합이 되어 잘못된 광류를 제거할 수 있었다. 이 논문은 이에 대한 실험결과를 포함하였다.

The Cellular Nonlinear Networks structure for Distance Transform (DT) and the robust optical flow detection algorithm based on the DT are proposed. The proposed algorithm is for detecting the optical flows on the trajectories only of the feature points. The translation lengths and the directions of feature movements are detected on the trajectories of feature points on which Distance Transform Field is developed. The robustness caused from the use of the Distance Transform and the easiness of hardware implementation with local analog circuits are the properties of the proposed structure, To verify the performance of the proposed structure and the algorithm, simulation has been done about zooming image.
