  • This study proposes a novel video traffic flow detection method based on machine vision technology. The three-frame difference method, which is one kind of a motion evaluation method, is used to establish initial background image, and then a statistical scoring strategy is chosen to update background image in real time. Finally, the background difference method is used for detecting the moving objects. Meanwhile, a simple but effective shadow elimination method is introduced to improve the accuracy of the detection for moving objects. Furthermore, the study also proposes a vehicle matching and tracking strategy by combining characteristics, such as vehicle's location information, color information and fractal dimension information. Experimental results show that this detection method could quickly and effectively detect various traffic flow parameters, laying a solid foundation for enhancing the degree of automation for traffic management.

  • In this paper, we propose a methodology for estimating the optimal traversable destination from the location-based information of the object recognized by the mobile robot to perform the object delivery service. The location estimation process is to apply the generalized Voronoi graph to the grid map to create an initial topology map composed of nodes and links, recognize objects and extract location data using RGB-D sensors, and collect the shape and distance information of obstacles. Then, by applying the hybrid approach that combines the center of gravity and thinning method, the optimal moving position for the service robot to perform the task of grabbing is estimated. And then, the optimal node information for the robot's work destination is updated by comparing the geometric distance between the estimated position and the existing node according to the node update rule.

  • This paper proposes an e-logistics system supporting efficient vehicle moving trajectory management. Recent advances in wireless communications have given rise to a number of location-based services including logistics vehicle tracking, cellular phone user's location finding, and location-based commerce. Logistics systems typically entail tracking vehicles for purposes of the logistics center knowing the whereabouts of the vehicles and/or consignments. Moreover, storing and managing location trajectory of continuously moving vehicles and consignments is necessary for supporting efficient logistics plan and consignment. The proposed system is able to manage spatial objects in GIS as well as logistic information in the mobile environment. And for the efficiently managing and retrieving of transporting trajectory of logistics, we extend previous moving object indexing method, TB-Tree, to use multi-version framework and evaluate data updating performance. It is able to apply the proposed method to develop mobile contents services based on continuously changing location of moving object in the mobile environment.

  • Trilateration is a typical method to locate an object, which requires inherently at least three prerecognized reference points. In some cases, owing to out of reachability to communication facilities the target node cannot be reachable always to three base stations. This paper presents a predictive method, which can identify the location of a moving target node in real time even though the target node could not get in touch with all three base stations. The method is based on the PIDcontrolled Moving Objects Spatio-Temporal Model Algorithm. Simulation results verify that this method can predict the moving direction of a moving target, and then combine with its past position information to judge accurately the location.

  • With the structure of tilde-area computing system which Is specified by a researching team in Vrije University, Netherlands, lots of researchers and developers have been progressing the studies of global location and interconnection services of distributed objects existing in global sites. Most of them halve focused on binding services of only non-duplicated computational objects existing wide-area computing sites without any consideration of duplication problems. But all of objects existing on the earth rave the duplicated characteristics according to how to categorize their own names or properties. These objects with the same property can define as duplicated computational objects. Up to now, the existing naming or trading mechanism has not supported the binding services of duplicated objects, because of deficiency of independent location service. For this reason, we suggest a new model that can not only manages locations of duplicated objects In wide-area computing environments, but also provide minimum binding time by considering both the optimal selection of one of duplicated objects and load balance among distributed systems. Our model is functionally divided into 2 parts, one part to obtain an unique object handle of duplicated objects with same property as a naming and trading service, and the other to search one or more contact addresses by a node manager using a liven object handle, as a location service For location transparency, these services are independently executing each other. Based on our model, we described structure of wide-area integrated tree and algorithms for searching and updating contact address of distributed object on this tree. finally, we showed a federation structure that can globally bind distributed objects located on different regions from an arbitrary client object.

  • In this paper, we present a new approach to visual feedback control using image-based visual servoing with stereo vision. In order to control the position and orientation of a robot with respect to an object, a new technique is proposed using binocular stereo vision. The stereo vision enables us to calculate an exact image Jacobian not only around a desired location but also at other locations. The suggested technique can guide a robot manipulator to the desired location without providing a priori knowledge such as the relative distance to the desired location or the model of an object even when the initial positioning error is large. This paper describes a model of stereo vision and how to generate feedback commands. The performance of the proposed visual servoing system is illustrated by experimental results and compared with conventional control methods for an assembly robot.

  • Recently, location systems using RFID technology have been studied in indoor environments. However, the existing techniques require high computational cost to compute the location of a moving object because they compare the location proximity of all reference tags and objects. In this paper, we propose an RFID based location positioning scheme using event filtering, which reduces the computation cost of calculating the locations of moving objects while maintaining the accuracy of location estimation. In addition, we propose an incremental location update policy to reduce the location update cost for moving objects. We also compare the proposed scheme with one of the localization schemes, LANDMARC using a performance evaluation. As a result, the proposed scheme outperforms LANDMARC in terms of the computational cost of location estimation. The proposed scheme also reduces the cost of location update by using the RFID-based update policy.

  • Recently, ubiquitous computing and related technologies is more and more growing concern about. Depending on the trend, the moving object recognition and tracking research have been required in order to meet the diverse needs of the user. In the location-based services, one of the most important issues in the indoor environment is to provide location-aware services. In this paper, the effective algorithm to help estimate the position of moving objects in an indoor environment is proposed. We propose an algorithm that combined the existing trilateration measurement and the improved measurement of environmental adaptation scene analysis. The proposed indoor location estimation algorithm use the trilateration measurement when we have enough anchor in the line-of-sight environment. Otherwise that use measurement of environmental adaptation scene analysis. Consequently, the proposed algorithm has been improved the localization accuracy of a moving object as well as was able to reduce complexity of the algorithm.

  • In the near future various new services will be created by using ubiquitous computing and ubiquitous network. Especially u-LBS(Ubiquitous Location Based Services) is recognized as one of the most important services. U-LBS is based on the data created by recognizing objects including both human and matters at any time and anywhere. Many researches related with object locating method by using RF are in the process of studying However there are few researches on the location of objects. In this paper we propose the recognition method of the location of objects by using RF and USN technology. In detail, the strength of RF signal is used to recognize the location of objects. Also we discuss about the future work to enhance the recognition rate of location by using a number of conditions including the weather, temperature etc. And Genetic Algorithm is used to get the optimal parameters with which we can get the more exact recognition rate of location.
