Generally, in-plane position of moving object is measured referring to the reference pattern attached to the object. From optical camera to magnetic reluctance probe, there are many ways detecting a variation of the periodical pattern. In this paper, the various operating principles developed for in-plane positioning are reviewed and compared each other. And, a novel method measuring large rotation as well as x, y linear displacements is suggested, including a detailed description of the overall system layout. It is a modified version of the surface encoder, which is a robust digital measuring method. From the surface encoder, the rotation of an object is measured indirectly through a compensated input of optical servo and independently of linear displacements. So, the operating range can be extended simply by enlarging the reference pattern, without magnifying the decoding units.

This paper proposes a three-dimensional (3D) segmentation algorithm for extracting a diagnostic object from ultrasound images by using a LoG operator In the proposed algorithm, 2D cutting planes are first obtained by the equiangular revolution of a cross sectional Plane on a reference axis for a 3D volume data. In each 2D ultrasound image. a region of interest (ROI) box that is included tightly in a diagnostic object of interest is set. Inside the ROI box, a LoG operator, where the value of $\sigma$ is adaptively selected by the distance between reference points and the variance of the 2D image, extracts edges in the 2D image. In Post processing. regions of the edge image are found out by region filling, small regions in the region filled image are removed. and the contour image of the object is obtained by morphological opening finally. a 3D volume of the diagnostic object is rendered from the set of contour images obtained by post-processing. Experimental results for a tumor and gall bladder volume data show that the proposed method yields on average two times reduction in error rate over Krivanek's method when the results obtained manually are used as a reference data.

The ambiguity of spatial language can be a source of communication problems. For instance, the 'the opposite side' in a sentence such as 'where is the opposite side of building X' can mean more than one direction. Research interests are focused on the directions of a spatial language 'the opposite side'. This study also explored the effect of geometric properties such as reference object's shape and distance from the reference object and spatial reference frame in the comprehension of 'the opposite side'. The assessment tasks used consisted of rating how appropriate the sentence 'where is the opposite side of building X' was to describe a series of pictures. The results of experiment suggest that 'the opposite side' means in most cases more than one direction simultaneously. Changing spatial reference frame has significant effects on individuals' rating of the tasks. However, while reference object's shape (prolonged building) has a consistent effect of the ratings given, the distance from the reference object (shortened road width) has limited influence in comprehending the tasks.

Moire technique is generally divided into shadow Moire Technique and Projection Moire Technique. In this paper, determinating the direction of reference planes for this system, by comparing the results of this system with those of general terrestrial photogrammetry, is an objective of this paper. For the objective, control surveying is done and the results of control surveying are compared with those of moire photograph. In this technique, it is found that though the positions of a projector and a reference grid are not moved, a desired moire contour whose the reference plane is different respectively is easily obtained by changing the pitches of a master grid and a reference grid on an object. Also it is found that when the pitches of the two grids on an object are equal, a moire contour which has the reference plane parallel to the object can be obtained.

The use of a cache for a storing and processing of Web object is becoming larger. Also, many studies for efficient management of storing scope on cache are performed actively. Web caching technique have many differences with traditional techniques. Particularly, a heterogeneity of Web object which is a processing unit of Web caching and a variation of Web object reference characteristic with time are the important causes to decrease performance of existing techniques. In this study, We proposed the ACASH which was new web caching technique. As ACASH divided and managed Web object and a cache scope with a heterogeneity, It can reduced a heterogeneity variation of an object. Also, it is reflecting a variation of object reference characteristics with time adaptively. In the experiment, We verified that the performance of ACASH was improved than existing techniques on the two experiment model which considered a heterogeneity of an object.

In the experiments, we verified that the performance of the proposed method was more improved than existing algorithms through the two experiment models which considered heterogeneity of an object.

In this paper we propose a new method for anlayzing the properties of surface reflectance and reconstructing the shape of object using estimated reflectance parameters. We have investigated the hybrid reflectance surface which has specularreflection and diffuse reflection, which can be explained by Torrance-Sparrow model. Sample sphere made on one maerial is used to estimate the reflectance properties by using LMS algorithm. We can make the reference image which consists of surface normal and brightness value using estimated reflectance parameters, and thenarbitrary shape object made of the same material as sample can be reconstructed by matching with reference image. Photometric matching method proposed in this paper is robust because it mateches object image with the reference imageconsidering its neighbor brightness distribution. Also, in this paper plate diffuse illumination is used to remove intensity disparity with simple scheme. It is expected that the proposed algorithm can be applied to 3D recognition, vision inspection system and other fields.

Immersive 360-degree media has a problem of slowing down the video recognition speed when the video is processed by the conventional method using a variety of rendering methods, and the video size becomes larger with higher quality and extra-large volume than the existing video. In addition, in most cases, only one scene is captured by fixing the camera in a specific place due to the characteristics of the immersive 360-degree media, it is not necessary to extract feature information from all scenes. In this paper, we propose a reference frame selection method for immersive 360-degree media and describe its application process to copyright protection technology. In the proposed method, three pre-processing processes such as frame extraction of immersive 360 media, frame downsizing, and spherical form rendering are performed. In the rendering process, the video is divided into 16 frames and captured. In the central part where there is much object information, an object is extracted using an RGB vector per pixel and deep learning, and a reference frame is selected using object feature information.

The application of spatial information has drawn significant attention from a wide range of industries. Railway spatial information facilitates the cooperation among related parties and improves the efficiency of asset management and operations. This study proposes the structure of Railway Object IDentifier(ROID) on railway spatial information. Current facility management and train operation are based on relative positioning system. Despite many advantages, relative positioning system causes serious problems such as the entire reconfiguration of positioning in the case of line change. Another major concern is the interface compatibility between individual facilities with different relative positioning. ROID based on absolute positioning addresses these issues, allowing the information exchange and convergence between independent parties. This study proposes ROID based on OID standard with object IDentifier and service object-oriented reference system. Our ROID employs the absolute positioning and the unique identifier, maintaining the compatibility with existing management system.

Detection of vanishing point is a challenging task in the situations where there are several structures with straight lines. Commonly used approaches for determining vanishing points involves finding the straight lines using edge detection and Hough transform methods. This approach often fails to perform effectively when there are a lot of straight lines found. The lines not meeting at a vanishing point are considered to be noises. In such situation, finding right candidate lines for detecting vanishing points is not a simple task. This paper proposes to use reference objects for vanishing point detection. By analyzing a reference object, it identifies the contour of the object, and derives a polygon from the contour information. Then the edges of the detected polygon are used to find the vanishing points. Our experimental results show that the proposed approach can detect vanishing points with comparable accuracy to the existing edge detection based method. Our approach can also be applied effectively even to complex situations, where too many lines generated by the existing methods make it difficult to select right lines for the vanishing points.
