In this paper, we proposed the 2-dimensional inspection algorithm for micro-BGA(Ball Grid Array) device using a vision system. The proposed method uses the subpixel algorithm for high precision. The proposed algorithm preferentially extracts the package area of device in the input image. After the extraction of package area, each ball areas are extracted by ball search window method. The parameters for inspection are calculated for the extracted ball area. In the simulation results, we have the average error within $17{\mu}m$.

The fiber-optic interferometer which is a powerful application for nondestructive measurement techniques has many advantages such as capability of making portable system, easy optical arrangement, low optical loss. In spite of these advantages, this system has an environmental sensitivity of thermal drifts and vibrations. Against environmental perturbations and nonlinear characteristic of phase modulator, the accurate and fast ${\pi}/2$ phase stepping has been achieved by using zero-crossing detection. CCD camera trigger signal is generated at the 4 zero-crossing points. Our System has achieved up to 100 Hz of image capture speed and 0.6 mrad of accuracy of phase stepping, accuracy.

A 3D depth measurement system is proposed for mobile vehicles. Depth measurement system which is composed of a rotating mirror, a line laser and mono-camera is employed to detect depth, where the laser light is reflected by the mirror and projected to- the scene objects whose locations are to be determined. The obtained depth information is converted into an image. Such depth images of the road region represent even and plane while that of off-road region is irregular or textured. Road region is detected employing a simple spatial differentiation technique to detect the plain textured area. Identification results of the diverse situation of Non-linear trail are included in this paper.

A study on the fluid flow with ultrasonic forcing is carried out to obtain data for the turbulence enhancement. A large water tank is made of the transparent acrylic plates and a horizontal flow field is given by setting two acrylic tubes to face mutually on a horizontal line. A 2-dimensional PlV system which is composed of a continuous-output 4W Argon-ion laser, a high-speed video camera, a PC based by an image grabber and a high resolution monitor is used to investigate characteristics of the complex turbulence flow field. And a 2MHz ultrasonic transducer is used fur ultrasonic vibration forcing. Some experiments are carried out at Reynolds numbers of 2,000 and 4,000 and at 7 angles of ultrasonic incidence. In results, the flew velocity vector distribution, kinetic energy and turbulence intensity in both cases of with and without ultrasonic forcing are examined, compared and discussed by using PIV measurement. It is clarified that the ultrasonic forcing into flow field is valid to obtain the turbulence enhancement.

This paper is concerned with the development of Internet-based robot system controlled on the remote site via the Internet. In order to draw the public attention into this exciting system, we built the simple system by which a robot is moved in response to answer for the given OX quizzes. As the primary research fer Internet-based robot control, this study focuses on the development of user-friendly interface by which a beginner achieves information for a robot on the remote site from the 3D virtual simulator and the real camera image. for the compensation of Internet time delay, position prediction simulator is implemented in the user interface.

Generally, most of machining processes are done according to the dimention of the draft made by CAD. However, there are many cases that a sample is given without the draft because of the simplicity of the shape in the machining of 2D objects. To cut the same shape as the given sample, this paper proposes the method to extract the geometric information about a large sample using the robot vision and to draw the demensional draft for the machining. Because the resolution of one frame in the vision system is too low, it is necessary to set up a camera according to the desired resolution and to capture the image moving along the contour. And the overall outline can be compounded of the sequentially captured images. In the experiment, we compared the product after the cutting with the original sample and found that the size of two objects was coincided within the allowed error bound.

This paper considers the lens distortions such as a fisheye distortion and a perspective distortion. While a fisheye lens has a wide field-of-view, it causes a large distortion to the images. Regardless of a fisheye lens or a rectilinear lens, a lens generates perspective distortion in a vertical direction when the lens views in an upward direction or downward direction. These distortions deform images differently from human visual functions. Therefore, this paper presents a method to correct the distortions, and whereby, the research in this paper enlarges choices of images to image processing algorithm that may select the distorted images and the corrected images depending on applications. An infinite polynomial model is employed in the fisheye radial distortion correction, and the vertical perspective distortion correction is done by using a vanishing point. The methods introduced in this paper are implemented on the images captured by a rear-view camera installed on a vehicle and showed their robustness of the correction.

This paper presents the development of estimation model and control method based on the new computer vision. This proposed control method is accomplished using a sequential estimation scheme that permits placement of the rigid body in each of the two-dimensional image planes of monitoring cameras. Estimation model with six parameters is developed based on a model that generalizes known 4-axis scara robot kinematics to accommodate unknown relative camera position and orientation, etc. Based on the estimated parameters,depending on each camers the joint angle of robot is estimated by the iteration method. The method is tested experimentally in two ways, the estimation model test and a three-dimensional rigid body placement task. Three results show that control scheme used is precise and robust. This feature can open the door to a range of application of multi-axis robot such as assembly and welding.

Vision system is an indispensable part of constructing the chess-playing robot. Chessboard detection and pieces localization in the captured image of robot's camera are important steps for processes followed such as pieces recognition, move calculation, and robot controlling. We present a method for detecting the Janggi chessboard and pieces based on the edge and color feature. Hough transform combined with line extraction is used for segmenting the chessboard and warping it to form the rectangle shape in order to detect and interpolate the lines of chessboard. Then we detect the existence of pieces and their side by applying the saliency map and checking the color distribution at piece locations. While other methods either work only with the empty chessboard or do not care about the piece existence, our method could detect sufficiently side and position of pieces as well as lines of the chessboard even if the occlusion happens.

Diesel engines exhaust much more NOx(Nitrogen Oxides) and PM(Particulate Matter) than gasoline engines, and it is not easy to reduce both NOx and PM simultaneously because of the trade-off relation between two components. This study investigated flame characteristics of the partial premixed compression ignition known as new combustion method which can reduce NOx and PM simultaneously. The investigation was performed through the analysis of the flame images taken by a high speed camera from the visible engine which is the modified single cylinder diesel engine. The results obtained through this investigation are summarized as follows; (1) The area of the luminous yellow flame was reduced due to the decrease of flame temperature and even distribution of temperature. (2) The darkish yellow flame zone caused by the shortage of the remaining oxygen after the middle stage of combustion was considerably reduced. (3) Since the ignition delay was shortened, the violent combustion did not occur and the combustion duration became shortened.
