In this paper, an image segmentation algorithm is described to extract both the contour line and the inner grid patterns of body in case of ambiguous environment. The binary method using a threshold is used to extract image boundary. To reduce image noise, the $3{\times}3$ hybrid high pass filter adjusted for applying 3D information extraction of complicated shape object is proposed. This hybrid high pass filter algorithm can be applied to extract complicated shape object such as 3D body shape, CAD system, and factory automation since the processing time for image denoising is shorter than the conventional methods.

Recently, object recognition ultrasonic sensor is being used with automatization of industrial machine. Points which characterize the object can be deleted by measuring the propagation time of ultrasonic impulse and azimuth which gives its maximum amplitude, and from these points shape, position and orientation of the object are deduced. A new measuring method is adopted, where the distance to the object is calculated by sound reflection time which is measured from O-cross point of sound wave, and azimuth is measured by angle indicating maximum amplitude. The measuring accuracy of 1.0mm for distance and $0.5-2^{\circ}$ for azimuth have been accomplished. By rotational scanning of sensor the characteristic point of an object can be known and it gives the information of its shape, position and orientation. Experimental results showed that the object of some complicated shape can be recognized, which suggest its applicability to robot.

In this paper, we present tracking algorithm for the indoor moving object. We research passive method using a camera and image processing. It had been researched to use dynamic based estimators, such as Kalman Filter, Extended Kalman Filter and Particle Filter for tracking moving object. These algorithm have a good performance on real-time tracking, but they have a limit. If the shape of object is changed or object is located on complex background, they will fail to track them. This problem will need the complicated image processing algorithm. Finally, a large algorithm is made from integration of dynamic based estimator and image processing algorithm. For eliminating this inefficiency problem, image based estimator, Mean-shift Algorithm is suggested. This algorithm is implemented by color histogram. In other words, it decide coordinate of object's center from using probability density of histogram in image. Although shape is changed, this is not disturbed by complex background and can track object. This paper shows the results in real camera system, and decides 3D coordinate using the data from mean-shift algorithm and relationship of real frame and camera frame.

The Delaunay triangulation technique was tested for complicated shapes of computational domain. While a simple geometry, both in topology and in geometry, was discretized well into triangular elements. a complex geometry often failed in triangularization. A complex geometry should be devided into smaller sub-domains whose shape is simple both topologically and geometrically. The present study developed the data structures not only for relationships among neibering elements but also for shape information, and coupled these into the Delaunay triangulation technique. This approach was able to enhance greatly the reliability of triangularization specially in complicated shapes of computational domains. The GUI (Graphic User Interface) and OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) were used in order to develop the user-friendly and efficient computer code.

According to the target object for designer to sketch, an effective style or shape of input device can be defined differently. The general spatial sketching system that support various types of wand assist sketching effectively as changing suitable wand shape to the part of a target object. We suggest the idea of changing wand style by altering the posture of a 3D wand. This allows a designer to work in an intuitive way without being interrupted by complicated menus. We implement the various wand styles to the spatial sketching system with cubic-based drawing technique.

Since a 5-axis machine tool has two rotary axes, it offers numerous advantages, such as flexible accessibility, longer tool life, better surface finish, and more accuracy. Moreover, it can conduct whole machining by rotating the rotary feed axes while setting the fixture at once without re-fixing in contrast to conventional 3-axis machining. However, it is difficult to produce complicated products that have a hollow shape. In contrast, 3D printing can produce an object with a complicated hollow shape easily and rapidly. However, because of layer thickness and shrinkage, its surface finish and dimensional accuracy are not adequate. Therefore, this study proposes hybrid technology by integrating the advantages of these two manufacturing processes. 3D printing was used as the additive manufacturing rapidly in the whole body, and 5-axis machining was used as the subtractive manufacturing accurately in the joining and driving places. The reliability of the proposed technology was verified through a comparison with conventional technology in the aspects of processing time, surface roughness. and dimensional accuracy.

A modified Delaunay triangulation technique is tested for complicated computational domain. While a simple geometry. both in topology and geometry, has been well discretized into triangular elements, a complex geometry having difficulty in triangulation had to be divided into small sub-domains of simpler shape. The present study presents a modified Delaunay triangulation method based on the data structure of geometric modeller. This approach greatly enhances the reliability of triangulation, especially in complicated computational domain. We have shown that efficiency of Delaunay triangulation can be much improved by using both the GUI (Graphic User Interface) and OOP (Object-Oriented Programming).

The crowded environment of a domestic pig farm is highly vulnerable to the spread of infectious diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease, and studies have been conducted to automatically analyze behavior of pigs in a crowded pig farm through a video surveillance system using a camera. Although it is required to correctly separate occluding pigs for tracking each individual pigs, extracting the boundaries of the occluding pigs fast and accurately is a challenging issue due to the complicated occlusion patterns such as X shape and T shape. In this study, we propose a fast and accurate method to separate occluding pigs not only by exploiting the characteristics (i.e., one of the fast deep learning-based object detectors) of You Only Look Once, YOLO, but also by overcoming the limitation (i.e., the bounding box-based object detector) of YOLO with the test-time data augmentation of rotation. Experimental results with two-pigs occlusion patterns show that the proposed method can provide better accuracy and processing speed than one of the state-of-the-art widely used deep learning-based segmentation techniques such as Mask R-CNN (i.e., the performance improvement over Mask R-CNN was about 11 times, in terms of the accuracy/processing speed performance metrics).

This study presents a color 3D scanner based on the laser structured-light imaging method that can simultaneously acquire 3D shape data and color of a target object using a single camera. The 3D data acquisition of the scanner is based on the structured-light imaging method, and the color data is obtained from a natural color image. Because both the laser image and the color image are acquired by the same camera, it is efficient to obtain the 3D data and the color data of a pixel by avoiding the complicated correspondence algorithm. In addition to the 3D data, the color data is helpful for enhancing the realism of an object model. The proposed scanner consists of two line lasers, a color camera, and a rotation table. The line lasers are deployed at either side of the camera to eliminate shadow areas of a target object. This study addresses the calibration methods for the parameters of the camera, the plane equations covered by the line lasers, and the center of the rotation table. Experimental results demonstrate the performance in terms of accurate color and 3D data acquisition in this study.

Recently, as autonomous vehicles and intelligent CCTV are growing more interest, the efficient object detection is essential technique. The DPM(Deformable Part Models) which is basis of this paper have used a typical object system that represents highly variable objects using mixtures of deformable part for object. Although it shows high detection performance by capturing part shape and configuration of object model, but it is limited to use in real application due to the complicated algorithm. In this paper, instead of image feature pyramid that takes up a large amount of computation in one part of the detector, we propose a method to reduce the computation speed by reconstructing a new image feature pyramid that uses adaptive bilinear interpolation of feature maps obtained on a specific image scale. As a result, the detection performance for object was lowered a little by 2.82%, however, the proposed detection method improved the speed performance by 10% in comparison with original DPM.
