This paper addresses the factorization method to estimate the projective structure of a scene from feature (points) correspondences over images with occlusions. We propose both a column and a row space approaches to estimate the depth parameter using the subspace constraints. The projective depth parameters are estimated by maximizing projection onto the subspace based either on the Joint Projection matrix (JPM) or on the the Joint Structure matrix (JSM). We perform the maximization over significant observation and employ Tardif's Camera Basis Constraints (CBC) method for the matrix factorization, thus the missing data problem can be overcome. The depth estimation and the matrix factorization alternate until convergence is reached. Result of Experiments on both real and synthetic image sequences has confirmed the effectiveness of our proposed method.

The ubiquitous smart home is the home of future that takes advantage of context information from user and home environment and provides automatic home services for the user. User's location and motion are the most important contexts in the ubiquitous smart home. This paper presents a method positioning user's location using four cameras and some home context parameter together with user preferences provided. Some geometry math problems would be raised to figure out approximately which area is monitored by cameras. The moving object is detected within the image frames and then simulated in a 2D window to present visually where user is located and show his moving. The moving ways are statistically recorded and used for predicting user's future moving.

This study aims to investigate the method to reduce the surface temperature caused by insolation. To achieve this goal, surface temperature of building is measured and the effects of exterior material's color and brilliance were checked with infrared imaging. And also, exterior material's absorptances due to outdoor surface heat transfer coefficients were measured. After surface temperature measurement of 37 specimen of 5 categories, the temperature is the highest on wood($53.62^{\circ}C$) and panel($52.05^{\circ}C$). Dryvit, stone, brick is the rating of order. For exterior material's absorptances, panel(0.883) and wood(0.868) were high and Dryvit, stone, brick follows wood and panel.

As there comes out better and better solutions for delivering multimedia data on the internet, the number of WebCAM sites which transmits pictures of any spot to the user's system is getting increased. WebCAM service over the internet can be compared with the CATV in that it is beyond the spatial constraints. In this project, we construct a WebCAM site Which performs not only the fundamental WebCAM functions of capturing images and of transmitting them periodically but also various kinds of modules carrying out tasks such as image processing, remote control of the camera, processing multiple user requests, making panorama views and so on using Java which is the most popular language for the internet or CGI. The past images are stored in a database implemented for the WebCAM system, so the system can be extended to get over the constraints in time also.

감시, 인지, 보안 시스템으로부터 얻은 비디오 영상에서 원하는 객체를 탐지해 내는 것은 매우 중요하다. 객체 추출 방법은 여러 가지가 있지만 가장 많이 쓰이는 방법이 배경을 이용하는 방법이다. 이때 실외 환경에 설치된 카메라의 경우 날씨, 시간에 따른 태양의 밝기등과 영상 내의 객체의 변화 량에 따라서 효율적으로 적응할 수 배경 추출 알고리즘이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 빠르고 정확하게 배경을 얻기 위한 기본적인 방법인 평균값과 최빈값을 이용한 방법을 혼합하여 영상의 변화 량에 따른 빠르고 정확한 배경을 추출하는 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다.

본 논문에서는 저해상도 휴대폰 컬러 영상을 대상으로 조명변화에 강인한 얼굴 영역 자동 검출 방법을 제안한다. 얼굴 영역 추출을 위하여 대중화된 휴대폰 영상 가운데 저해상도 컬러 영상을 사용한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 조명에 의해 변화가 큰 영상의 질을 LB_MSR 알고리즘을 이용하여 향상시킨뒤, YCbCr 색공간에서 Cb, Cr과 Y성분을 모두 이용하여 얼굴 영역을 검출해낸다. 실험결과 조명변화가 존재하는 영상을 LB_MSR 방법으로 향상시킨뒤 Cb, Cr 그리고 Y를 이용함으로써 기존의 방법보다 얼굴 영역을 보다 정확하게 검출할 수 있음을 볼 수 있었다.

Recently, a service robot industry outstands as an up and coming industry of the next generation. Specially, there are so many research in self-steering movement(SSM). In order to implement SSM, robot must effectively recognize all around, detect objects and make a surrounding map with sensors. So, many robots have a sonar and a infrared sensor, etc. But, in these sensors, We only know informations about between the robot and the object as well as resolution faculty is of inferior quality. In this paper, we will introduce new algorithm that recognizes objects around robot and makes a two dimension surrounding map with a omni-direction vision camera and two stereo vision cameras.

Canine cataract is developed with aging and can cause the blindness or surgical treatment if not treated timely. The first observation must be made by pet owners but they do not have proper equipment and knowledge to see the abnormalities. In this paper, we propose an intelligent image processing method to extract canine cataract suspicious object from non-professional equipment such as ordinary digital camera and cellular phone photographs so that even casual owners of pet dog can make a pre-diagnosis of such a surgery-needed disease as soon as possible. The experiment shows that the proposed method is successful in most cases except the dog has similar colored hair to the color of cataract.

Recently, it has become an important problem to extract semantic objects from videos, which are useful for improving the performance of video compression and video retrieval. In this thesis, an automatic extraction method of moving objects of interest in video is suggested. We define that an moving object of interest should be relatively large in a frame image and should occur frequently in a scene. The moving object of interest should have different motion from camera motion. Moving object of interest are determined through spatial continuity by the AMOS method and moving histogram. Through experiments with diverse scenes, we found that the proposed method extracted almost all of the objects of interest selected by the user but its precision was 69% because of over-extraction.

A personal computer based color machine vision system with video camera and fluorescent lighting system was used to generate images of stationary tobacco leaves. Image processing algorithms were developed to extract both the geometric and the color features of tobacco leaves. Geometric features include area, perimeter, centroid, roundness and complex ratio. Color calibration scheme was developed to convert measured pixel values to the standard color unit using both statistics and artificial neural network algorithm. Improved back propagation algorithm showed less sum of square errors than multiple linear regression. Color features provide not only quality evaluation quantities but the accurate color measurement. Those quality features would be useful in grading tobacco automatically. This system would also be useful in measuring visual features of other agricultural products.
