본 논문은 로봇 매니퓰레이터의 엔드 이펙터(end-effector)에 부착된 스테레오 카메라를 사용하여 움직이는 물체의 초기자세나 이동에 관한 정보가 미지인 3차원 물체의 파지(grasping)를 위해서, 로봇 매니퓰레이터의 자세(위치 및 방위)제어에 관한 새로운 비주얼 서보잉(visual servoing)을 제안한다. 로봇 매니퓰레이터의 현재의 자세를 목표자세에 잘 추적하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 카메라 자세에 대한 대상물체의 자세변화와 이미지상의 특정점 변화를 기술하는 관계식인 이미지 Jacobian을 미분변환을 이용하여 구했으며, 로봇 매니퓰레이터의 제어를 위해서는 간단한 PD제어기를 사용하였다. 마지막으로 다양한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 수법의 유효성을 확인했다.

In this paper, robot's grasping poses are classified into three cases, and force/torque information in each grasping pose is analyzed. In the grasping process, error between the desired and the actual grasping poses can be generated because of uncertainty in the environment. A systematic algorithm is presented, that uses the force/torque information generated by grasping pose error to estimate robot's actual grasping pose.

In this paper, we propose fuzzy c-means (FCM) to solve recognition errors in invariant range image, multi-pose face recognition. Scale, center and pose error problems were solved using geometric transformation. Range image face data was digitized into range image data by using the laser range finder that does not depend on the ambient light source. Then, the digitized range image face data is used as a model to generate multi-pose data. Each pose data size was reduced by linear reduction into the database. The reduced range image face data was transformed to the gradient face model for facial feature image extraction and also for matching using the fuzzy membership adjusted by fuzzy c-means. The proposed method was tested using facial range images from 40 people with normal facial expressions. The output of the detection and recognition system has to be accurate to about 93 percent. Simultaneously, the system must be robust enough to overcome typical image-acquisition problems such as noise, vertical rotated face and range resolution.

1. Introduction Pose estimation of a three dimensional object has been studied in robot vision area, and it is needed in a number of industrial applications such as process monitoring and control, assembly and PCB inspection. In this research, we propose a new pose estimation method based on principal axes analysis. Here, it is assumed that the locations of x-ray source and the image plane are predetermined and the object geometry is known. To this end, we define a dispersion matrix of an object, which is a discrete form of inertia matrix of the object. It can be determined here from a set of x-ray images, at least three images are required. Then, the pose information is obtained fro...

Navigating an unknown environment is a challenging task for a robot, especially when a large number of obstacles exist and the odometry lacks reliability. Pose tracking allows the robot to determine its location relative to its previous location. The ICP (iterative closest point) has been a powerful method for matching two point clouds and determining the transformation matrix between the maps. However, in a situation where odometry is not available and the robot moves far from its original location, the ICP fails to calculate the exact displacement. In this paper, we suggest a method that is able to match two different point clouds taken a long distance apart. Without using any odometry information, it only exploits the features of corner points containing information on the surroundings. The algorithm is fast enough to run in real time.

일반적으로 비전기반 3차원 인체 포즈 인식 기술은 HCI(Human-Computer Interaction)에서 인간의 제스처를 전달하기 위한 방법으로 사용된다. 특수한 환경에서 단순한 2차원 움직임 포즈만 인식할 수 있는 2차원 포즈모델 기반 인식 방법에 비해 3차원 관절을 묘사한 포즈모델은 관절각에 대한 정보와 신체 부위의 모양정보를 선행지식으로 사용할 수 있어서 좀 더 일반적인 환경에서 복잡한 3차원 포즈도 인식할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 이 논문은 인체의 3차원 관절 정보를 이용한 포즈 인식 기술을 인터페이스로 활용한 상호작용 게임 콘텐츠 개발에 관해 기술한다. 제안된 시스템에서 사용되는 포즈는 인체 관절 중 14개 관절의 3차원 위치정보를 이용해서 구성한 포즈 템플릿과 현재 사용자의 포즈를 비교해 인식된다. 이 방법을 이용하여 제작된 시스템은 사용자가 부가적인 장치의 사용 없이 사용자의 몸동작만으로 자연스럽게 게임 콘텐츠를 조작할 수 있도록 해준다. 제안된 3차원 인식 기술을 게임 콘텐츠에 적용하여 성능을 평가한다. 향후 다양한 환경에서 더욱 강건하게 포즈를 인식할 수 있는 연구를 수행할 계획이다.

Monte Carlo localization is known to be one of the most reliable methods for pose estimation of a mobile robot. Although MCL is capable of estimating the robot pose even for a completely unknown initial pose in the known environment, it takes considerable time to give an initial pose estimate because the number of random samples is usually very large especially for a large-scale environment. For practical implementation of MCL, therefore, a reduction in sample size is desirable. This paper presents a novel approach to reducing the number of samples used in the particle filter for efficient implementation of MCL. To this end, the topological information generated through the thinning technique, which is commonly used in image processing, is employed. The global topological map is first created from the given grid map for the environment. The robot then scans the local environment using a laser rangefinder and generates a local topological map. The robot then navigates only on this local topological edge, which is likely to be similar to the one obtained off-line from the given grid map. Random samples are drawn near the topological edge instead of being taken with uniform distribution all over the environment, since the robot traverses along the edge. Experimental results using the proposed method show that the number of samples can be reduced considerably, and the time required for robot pose estimation can also be substantially decreased without adverse effects on the performance of MCL.

In the field of computer vision and robotics, bin picking is an important application area in which object pose estimation is necessary. Different approaches, such as 2D feature tracking and 3D surface reconstruction, have been introduced to estimate the object pose accurately. We propose a new approach where we can use both 2D image features and 3D surface information to identify the target object and estimate its pose accurately. First, we introduce a label detection technique using Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSERs) where the label detection results are used to identify the target objects separately. Then, the 2D image features on the detected label areas are utilized to generate 3D surface information. Finally, we calculate the 3D position and the orientation of the target objects using the information of the 3D surface.

This paper presents the wall following control of a small indoor airship (blimp). The purpose of the wall following control is that a blimp maintains its position and pose and flies along the wall. A blimp has great inertia and it is affected by temperature, atmospheric pressure, disturbance and air flow around blimp. In order to fly indoors, a volume of blimp should be small. The volume of a blimp becomes small then the buoyancy of a blimp should be smaller. Therefore, it is difficult to attach additional equipments on the blimp which are necessary to control blimp. For these reasons, it is difficult to control the pose and position of the blimp during the wall following. In our research, to cope with its defects, we developed new blimp. Generally, a blimp is controlled by using rudders and elevators, however our developed blimp has no rudders and elevators, and it has faster responses than general blimps. Our developed blimp is designed to smoothly follow the wall by using low-cost small ultra sonic sensors instead of high-cost sensors. Finally, the controller is designed to robustly control the pose and position of the blimp which could control in spite of arbitrary disturbance during the wall following, and the effectiveness of the controller is verified by experiment.

This paper introduces a methodology of active calibration of a camera pose (orientation and position) using the images of cylindrical objects that are going to be manipulated. This active calibration method is different from the passive calibration where a specific pattern needs to be located at a certain position. In the active calibration, a camera attached on the robot captures images of objects that are going to be manipulated. That is, the prespecified position and orientation data of the cylindrical object are transformed into the camera pose through the two consecutive image frames. An ellipse can be extracted from each image frame, which is defined as a circular-feature matrix. Therefore, two circular-feature matrices and motion parameters between the two ellipses are enough for the active calibration process. This active calibration scheme is very effective for the precise control of a mobile/task robot that needs to be calibrated dynamically. To verify the effectiveness of active calibration, fundamental experiments are peformed.
