In this paper, we propose a novel surveillance throwing robot which is compact, light-weight and has an efficient shock absorption mechanism. The throwing robot is designed in a spherical shape to be easily grabbed by a hand for throwing. Also, a motor-wheel linking mechanism is designed to be robustly protected from shocks upon landing. The proposed robot has a weight of 2.2kg and the diameter of its wheels is 150 mm. Through the field experiments, the designed robot is validated to withstand higher than 13Ns of impulse.

In this paper, we propose a traffic adaptive mechanism that controls the receiver's wakeup periods based on the generated traffic amounts. The proposed control mechanism is designed for military, wild animal monitoring, and forest fire surveillance applications. In these environments, a low-rate data transmission is usually required between sensor nodes. However, continuous data is generated when events occur. Therefore, legacy mechanisms are ineffective for these applications. Our control mechanism showed a better performance in energy efficiency compared to the RI-MAC owing to the elimination of the sender node's idle listening.

By the development of recent technology, a new variant of rotorcrafts having four rotors start drawing attention from aerial-robotics engineers more than before. Its potential spans from just being control device test bed to performing difficult task such as carrying surveillance device to unreachable places. In this regards, modeling a quad-rotor is significant in analyzing its dynamic behavior and in synthesizing control system for such a vehicle. This paper summarizes the modeling of a mini quad-rotor aerial vehicle. A first principle approach is considered for deriving the model based on Euler-Newton equations of motion. The result of the modeling is a simulation platform that is expected to acceptably predict the dynamic behavior of the quad-rotor in various flight conditions. Linear models associated with different flight condition can be extracted for the purpose of control synthesis.

In numerous occasions, there is need to reconstruct partially occluded facial image. Typical examples include the recognition of criminals whose facial images are captured by surveillance cameras- ln such cases a significant part of the face is occluded making the process of identification extremely difficult, both for automatic face recognition systems and human observers. To overcome these difficulties, we consider the application of Kernel PCA-based denoising method to partially occluded facial image in this paper.

Multilateration(MLAT) is commonly used in civil and military surveillance applications to accurately locate an aircraft, vehicle or stationary emitter. MLAT calculates the TDOA of signals by transmitted aircraft and determines the aircraft's location. With more than four receivers it is possible to estimate the 3D position of the aircraft by calculating the intersection of the resulting hyperbolas and the system integrity. In this study, our objectives are to apply MLAT technique to Jeju terminal control area and to propose a MLAT receiver network to properly estimate the positions of aircraft approaching this area. Based on computer simulations, we determine locations of ground receivers in Jeju terminal control area, calculate estimated position errors of the aircraft with respect to the selected receiver networks, and find the best receiver network with the least position error.

There are various monitoring and control system using CCTV camera. However, it is important to consider disaster and terrorism with unauthorized changes on location information. Therefore we analyzed performance of observation when the camera is break down as a result from hacking to CCTV monitoring and control system.

Due to the view point, illumination, personal gait and other background situation, person re-identification across cameras has been a challenging task in video surveillance area. In order to address the problem, a novel method called Joint Bayesian across different cameras for person re-identification (JBR) is proposed. Motivated by the superior measurement ability of Joint Bayesian, a set of Joint Bayesian matrices is obtained by learning with different camera pairs. With the global Joint Bayesian matrix, the proposed method combines the characteristics of multi-camera shooting and person re-identification. Then this method can improve the calculation precision of the similarity between two individuals by learning the transition between two cameras. For investigating the proposed method, it is implemented on two compare large-scale re-ID datasets, the Market-1501 and DukeMTMC-reID. The RANK-1 accuracy significantly increases about 3% and 4%, and the maximum a posterior (MAP) improves about 1% and 4%, respectively.

In surveillance, monitoring, and target tracking operations, high-resolution images should be obtained even if the target is in a far distance. Frequent movements of vehicles such as boats degrade the image quality of onboard camera systems. Therefore, stabilizer mechanisms are required to stabilize the line of sight of boatboard camera systems against boat movements. This paper addresses design and implementation of a strapdown boatboard camera stabilizer. A two degree of freedom(DOF)(pan/tilt) robot performs the stabilization task. The main problem is divided into two subproblems dealing with attitude estimation and attitude control. It is assumed that exact estimate of the boat movement is available from an attitude estimation system. Estimates obtained in this way are carefully transformed to robot coordinate frame to provide desired trajectories, which should be tracked by the robot to compensate for the boat movements. Such a practical robotic system includes actuators with fast dynamics(electrical dynamics) and has more degrees of freedom than control inputs. Backstepping method is employed to deal with this problem by extending the control effectiveness.
