This paper presents motion control of the Inchworm composed of the piezoelectric actuators and mechanical elements. Piezoelectric actuator shows nonlinear response characteristics including hysteresis due to the ferroelectric characteristics. This paper proposes feedback control scheme to improve the ability of tracking response to complex input signal and suppress the phenomenon of hysteresis using the sliding mode control technique with the integrator. The sliding mode control system has the limit to minimize both the settle time and overshoot. For making up this limit, this paper also suggests input shaping technique suitable to the inchworm control system.

파티클 필터 기반 얼굴추적은 비교적 빠른 속도와 구현의 용이성으로 널리 사용되고 있으나 조명이나 포즈변화가 있는 영상에서 드리프트(drift) 현상에 의해 얼굴추적의 정확도가 급격히 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 앞에 언급한 얼굴의 다양성에 강인한 얼굴 텍스처 특징을 제안한다. 제안방법은 인접한 픽셀들 간의 관계를 고려한 텍스처 패턴을 정의할 때 인접한 픽셀들의 평균(average)을 적용하여 조명변화에 강인하다. 또한 얼굴의 구조적 정보를 반영한 블록 기반의 텍스처 패턴 풀링(pooling)에 의해 포즈변화에 강인하다. 실제 감시환경을 가정해 CCTV 카메라로 자체 제작한 비디오 영상에서 Local Binary Pattern(LBP)와 같은 대표적인 특징들과 비교 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 드리프트(drift) 폭이 적어 더 높은 얼굴추적 정확도를 보였으며 초당 28 프레임의 매우 빠른 처리속도를 보였다.

This paper deals with the issue of force synchronizing control for the clamping servomechanism of injection molding machines. Prior to the controller design, a virtual design model has been developed for the clamping mechanism with hydraulic systems. Then, a synchronizing controller is designed and combined with an adaptive feedforward control in order to accommodate the mismatches between the real plant and the linear model plant used. As a disturbance, the leakage due to the ring gap with relative motion in the cylinder has been introduced. From the robust force tracking simulations, it is shown that a significant reduction in the force synchronizing error is achieved through the use of a proposed control scheme.

In this paper, we introduce the improved control method are communicated between a master and a slave robot in the teleoperation systems. When the master and slave robots are located in different places, time delay is unavoidable under the network environment and it is well known that the system can become unstable when even a small time delay exists in the communication channel. The time delay may cause instability in teleoperation systems especially if those systems include haptic feedback. This paper presents a control scheme based on the estimator with virtual master model in teleoperation systems over the network. As the behavior of virtual model is tracking the one of master model, the operator can control real master robot by manipulating the virtual robot. And LQG/LTR scheme was adopted for the compensation of un-modeled dynamics. The approach is based on virtual master model, which has been implemented on a robot over the network. Its performance is verified by the computer simulation and the experiment.

Hair styling has a significant influence on human social perception. An increasing number of people are learning hair styling and obtaining hair designer licenses. However, it takes a considerable amount of money and time to learn professional hairstyle and beauty techniques for hair styling. Since COVID-19, there has been a growing need for offline and video lectures due to the decline in onsite training opportunities. This study provides a field practice environment in which real hair beauty is performed in a virtual space. Further, the hairstyle that is most similar to the user's hair taken with a webcam or mobile phone is determined through an image matching system using the speeded up robust features (SURF) method. The matching hairstyle was created into a three-dimensional (3D) hair model. The created 3D hair model uses a head-mounted display (HMD) and a controller that enables finger tracking through mapping to reproduce the haircutting scissors' motion while providing a feeling of real hair beauty.

This study explores the potential of utilizing video-based data analysis and machine learning techniques to estimate the number of occupants within a building. The research methodology involves developing a sophisticated counting system capable of detecting and tracking individuals' entry and exit patterns. The proposed method demonstrates promising results in various scenarios; however, it also identifies the need for improvements in camera performance and external environmental conditions, such as lighting. The study emphasizes the significance of incorporating machine learning in architectural and urban planning applications, offering valuable insights for the field. In conclusion, the research calls for further investigation to address the limitations and enhance the system's accuracy, ultimately contributing to the development of a more robust and reliable solution for building occupancy estimation.

비디오 영상으로부터 객체를 추적하는 문제에 있어서 폐색은 오늘날까지도 해결해야하는 문제 중 하나다. 폐색이란 영상 속 찾고자 하는 객체가 이전 프레임에서는 존재했지만 특정 프레임에서는 전경 혹은 다른 객체에 의해 가려져 모습이 보이지 않는 것을 의미한다. 폐색이 나타난 상황에서 해당 객체를 추적하기 위해서는 이전 프레임까지 추적된 정보를 바탕으로 영상에 다시 객체가 나타날 때까지 위치를 잘 예측해야 한다. 본 논문은 비디오 영상의 폐색 환경에 강인한 다중 객체 추적 알고리즘을 제시한다. 이를 위해 딥러닝 기반의 LSTM 구조를 활용하여 객체의 형태 정보를 학습하고 칼만 필터를 이용해 객체의 속도 정보를 학습한다. 두 정보를 조합하여 폐색이 발생하였을 때 객체의 형태와 위치를 예측하여 영상 속에 객체가 다시 등장하더라도 추적 성능을 최대화 한다.

In this paper, adaptive controller with switching action is designed for rigid body robot manipulators to ensure the uniform stability of the manipulator system without a priori knowledge of the unmodeled dynamics. It will be shown that the parameter estimates are bounded independent of the other closed-loop signals boundedness, and also shown that the tracking error belongs to the normalized error bound via mathematical analisys. The robustness and performance of the proposed adaptive controller is investigated for the two-link direct drive manipulator actuated by VRM(Variable Reluctance Motor).

This paper proposes an EMPC (Explicit Model Predictive Controller) for temperature tracking control based on heat load prediction by an ESO (Extended State Observer) for a variable cooling circulation system with multiple indoor units connected to one outdoor unit. In this system, heat transfer and heat loss relative to the input temperature are modeled using system dynamics. Using this model, we design an EMPC based on an ESO that is robust to temperature changes and depends on airflow. To determine the stability of both the controller and the observer, asymptotic stability is verified through Lyapunov stability analysis. Finally, to validate the performance of the proposed controller, simulations are conducted under three scenarios with varying airflow, set temperature, and heat load.

This paper presents vision-based 3D facial expression animation technique and system which provide the robust 3D head pose estimation and real-time facial expression control. Many researches of 3D face animation have been done for the facial expression control itself rather than focusing on 3D head motion tracking. However, the head motion tracking is one of critical issues to be solved for developing realistic facial animation. In this research, we developed an integrated animation system that includes 3D head motion tracking and facial expression control at the same time. The proposed system consists of three major phases: face detection, 3D head motion tracking, and facial expression control. For face detection, with the non-parametric HT skin color model and template matching, we can detect the facial region efficiently from video frame. For 3D head motion tracking, we exploit the cylindrical head model that is projected to the initial head motion template. Given an initial reference template of the face image and the corresponding head motion, the cylindrical head model is created and the foil head motion is traced based on the optical flow method. For the facial expression cloning we utilize the feature-based method, The major facial feature points are detected by the geometry of information of the face with template matching and traced by optical flow. Since the locations of varying feature points are composed of head motion and facial expression information, the animation parameters which describe the variation of the facial features are acquired from geometrically transformed frontal head pose image. Finally, the facial expression cloning is done by two fitting process. The control points of the 3D model are varied applying the animation parameters to the face model, and the non-feature points around the control points are changed by use of Radial Basis Function(RBF). From the experiment, we can prove that the developed vision-based animation system can create realistic facial animation with robust head pose estimation and facial variation from input video image.
