The autonomous driving method using magnetic sensors recognizes the position by measuring magnetic fields in autonomous robots or vehicles after installing magnetic markers in a moving path. The Position estimate method using magnetic sensors has an advantage of being affected less by variation of driving environment such as oil, water and dust due to the use of magnetic field. It also has the advantages that we can use the magnet as an indicator and there is no consideration for power and communication environment. In this paper, we propose an efficient sensor system for an autonomous driving vehicle supplemented for existing disadvantage. In order to efficiently eliminate geomagnetism, we analyze the components of the horizontal and vertical magnetic field. We propose an algorithm for position estimation and geomagnetic elimination to ease analysis, and also propose an initialization method for sensor applied in the vehicle. We measured and analyzed the developed system in various environments, and we verify the advantages of proposed methods.

This paper describes methods to estimate 3-D position of target with respect to reference frame through monocular image from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). 3-D position of target is used as information for surveillance, recognition and attack. In this paper. 3-D position of target is estimated to make guidance and control law, which can follow target, user interested. It is necessary that position of target is measured in image to solve 3-D position of target. In this paper, kalman filter is used to track and output position of target in image. Estimation of target's 3-D position is possible using result of image tracking and information of UAV and camera. To estimate this, two algorithms are used. One is methode from arithmetic derivation of dynamics between UAV, carmer, and target. The other is LPV (Linear Parametric Varying). These methods have been run on simulation, and compared in this paper.

본 논문에서는 손동작 인식을 위한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 손 추출을 위한 방법으로는 피부색과 boundary energy 정보를 이용하고 moment method로 손바닥의 중심을 구하게 된다. 손동작 인식은 두 단계로 나눌 수 있다. 첫 번째 단계는 손 형상 인식으로 병렬 신경망을 이용하였다. 손 형상의 패턴을 추출하기 위해서 fitting ellipses method를 이용하였다. fitting ellipses method는 추출된 손 영역을 12개의 타원형으로 분류하고 타원 외곽선의 흰 픽셀 비율을 계산한다. 패턴은 12개의 입력 노드로 신경망에 입력되고 4개의 출력 노드로 출력되는데 각 출력 노드는 0~1사이의 값을 갖게 된다. 손 형상은 4개의 출력 노드의 구성으로 나타낼 수 있다. 두 번째 단계는 손동작 추적과 인식이다. 손동작 추적과 인식을 위해서는 손동작의 위치 정보를 예측 할 수 있는 Kalman Filter를 이용하였다. 실험은 Windows XP상에서 수행되었고 제안한 알고리즘의 효율성을 평가하였다. 손 형상을 인식하기 위해서 300개의 이미지를 인식기에 훈련시키고 200개의 이미지를 실험에 사용하였다. 194개 이상의 이미지가 정확하게 인식 되었다. 그리고 손동작 추적 인식을 실험하기 위해서 1200번의 손동작(각 동작은 400번)을 사용하였고 그 중 1002번의 손동작이 정확하게 인식 되었다.이러한 결과는 제안된 방법이 손 영역을 추출하고 손 동작을 인식하는데 유용함을 확인 할 수 있었다.

The automatic recognition of transport containers using image processing is very hard because of the irregular size and position of identifiers, diverse colors of background and identifiers, and the impaired shapes of identifiers caused by container damages and the bent surface of container, etc. In this paper we propose and evaluate a novel recognition algorithm for container identifiers that effectively overcomes these difficulties and recognizes identifiers from container images captured in various environments. The proposed algorithm, first, extracts the area containing only the identifiers from container images by using CANNY masking and bi-directional histogram method. The extracted identifier area is binarized by the fuzzy binarization method newly proposed in this paper. Then a contour tracking method is applied to the binarized area in order to extract the container identifiers which are the target for recognition. In this paper we also propose and apply a novel ART2-based hybrid network for recognition of container identifiers. The results of experiment for performance evaluation on the real container images showed that the proposed algorithm performs better for extraction and recognition of container identifiers compared to conventional algorithms.

In this study, an improved HMM based recognition model is proposed for online English and Korean handwritten characters. The pattern elements of the handwriting model are sub character strokes and ligatures. To deal with the problem of handwriting style variations, a modified Hierarchical Clustering approach is introduced to partition different writing styles into several classes. For each of the English letters and each primitive grapheme in Korean characters, one HMM that models the temporal and spatial variability of the handwriting is constructed based on each class. Then the HMMs of Korean graphemes are concatenated to form the Korean character models. The recognition of handwritten characters is implemented by a modified level building algorithm, which incorporates the Korean character combination rules within the efficient network search procedure. Due to the limitation of the HMM based method, a post-processing procedure that takes the global and structural features into account is proposed. Experiments showed that the proposed recognition system achieved a high writer independent recognition rate on unconstrained samples of both English and Korean characters. The comparison with other schemes of HMM-based recognition was also performed to evaluate the system.

The extracted identifier area is binarized by the fuzzy binarization method newly proposed in this paper and by applying contour tracking method to the binarized area, container identifiers which are targets of recognition are extracted. We proposed and applied the ART2-based RBF network for recognition of container identifiers. The results of experiment for performance evaluation on the real container images showed that the proposed algorithm has more improved performance in the extraction and recognition of container identifiers than the previous algorithms.

The formula contains up between the text and the structural information, as well as their mathematical symbols. Research on-line or off-line recognition formula is underway actively used in various fields, and various forms of the equation are implemented recognition system. Although many documents are included in the various formulas, it is not easy to enter a formula into the computer. Recognition of the expression is divided into two processes of symbol recognition and structural analysis. After analyzing the location information of each character is specified to recognize the effective area after each symbol, and to the structure analysis based on the proximity between the characters is recognized as an independent single formula. Furthermore, analyzing the relationship between the front and back each time a combination of the position relationship between each symbol, and then to add the symbol which was able to easily update the structure of the entire formula. In this paper, by using a scanner to scan the book formula was used to interpret the meaning of the recognized symbol has a relative size and location information of the expression symbol. An algorithm to remove the formulas for calculation of the number of formula is present at the same time is proposed. Using the proposed algorithms to scan the books in the formula in order to evaluate the performance verification as 100% separation and showed the recognition rate equation.
