This paper introduces a methodology of active calibration of a camera pose (orientation and position) using the images of cylindrical objects that are going to be manipulated. This active calibration method is different from the passive calibration where a specific pattern needs to be located at a certain position. In the active calibration, a camera attached on the robot captures images of objects that are going to be manipulated. That is, the prespecified position and orientation data of the cylindrical object are transformed into the camera pose through the two consecutive image frames. An ellipse can be extracted from each image frame, which is defined as a circular-feature matrix. Therefore, two circular-feature matrices and motion parameters between the two ellipses are enough for the active calibration process. This active calibration scheme is very effective for the precise control of a mobile/task robot that needs to be calibrated dynamically. To verify the effectiveness of active calibration, fundamental experiments are peformed.

We are interested in the problem of fitting a curve to a set of points in the plane in such a way that the sum of the squares of the orthogonal distances to given data points ins minimized. In[1] the prob-lem of fitting circles and ellipses was considered and numerically solved with general purpose methods. Especially in [2] H. Spath proposed a special purpose algorithm (Spath's ODF) for parabolas y-b=$c($\chi$-a)^2$ and for rotated ones. In this paper we present another parabola fitting algorithm which is slightly different from Spath's ODF. Our algorithm is mainly based on the steepest descent provedure with the view of en-suring the convergence of the corresponding quadratic function Q(u) to a local minimum. Numerical examples are given.

The CAD model of a elliptical gear for wire cutting has been developed. The rolling contact of pitch ellipses whose rotation axes coincide with their focus has been analyzed, and the perimeter of the pitch ellipse has been divided into equal-length segments by the number of teeth. A master tooth profile, which is a composite curve of circular arcs that represents involute, has been introduced. The elliptical gear has been designed by imposing the master tooth on the divided points of the pitch ellipse, and a full fillet has been achieved between neighbour teeth. Thus, the whole profile of an elliptical gear is a composite curve of arcs only, and consequently NC codes for wire cutting can be easily generated. Furthermore, a computer simulation program is developed to verify the mesh of the elliptical gear.

Two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved using SIMPLER method in the intrinsic curvilinear coordinates system to study the unsteady viscous flow physics over two-dimensional ellipses. Unsteady viscous flows over various thickness-to-chord ratios of 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, and 1.2 elliptic cylinders are simulated at different Reynolds numbers of 200, 400, and 1,000. This study is focused on the understanding the effects of Reynolds number and elliptic cylinder thickness on the drag and lift forces. The present numerical solutions are compared with available experimental and numerical results and show a good agreement. Through this study, it is observed that the Reynolds number and the cylinder thickness affect significantly the frequencies of the force oscillations as well as the mean values and the amplitudes of the drag and lift forces.

The optimum design of a structure requires to determine economical member size and shape of a structure which satisfies the design conditions and functions. In this study, it is attempted to minimize a dead weight of the bogie frame. Therefore, shape optimization is performed for a bolster rib at first and then size optimization for the thickness of top and bottom plate. For the efficient reduction of a weight of a bogie frame, various ellipses centered at a centroid of a bolster rib are made and tried. For the shape optimization, a major axis and an eccentricity of an ellipse are chosen as design variables. From the numerical results of shape and size optimization of a bogie frame, it is known that the weight can be reduced up to 12.476 Y4717.21 kg) with displacement and stress constraints.

This paper presents a new concept for controlling of under actuated robot manipulators with avoiding obstacles using switching computed torque method (SCTM). One fundamental approach of this algorithm is to use the partly stable controllers (PSCs) in order to fulfill the ultimate control objective. Here, we use genetic algorithms (GA)in order to employ the optimum control action for a given time frame with the available set of elemental controllers, depending on which links/variables are controlled, i.e. the selection of optimum switching sequence of the control actions. The proposed approach models links of the robot using evolving ellipses and then introduces a penalty scheme for the objective function of GA when it detects collisions. An under actuated robot manipulator, which has three detrees-of-freedom is taken into consideration so as to illustrate the design procedure. Simulation results show the e.ectiveness of the proposed method.

Using the complex parabolic rotations of holomorphic null curves in ℂ⁴ we transform minimal surfaces in Euclidean space ℝ³ to a family of degenerate minimal surfaces in Euclidean space ℝ⁴. Applying our deformation to holomorphic null curves in ℂ³ induced by helicoids in ℝ³, we discover new minimal surfaces in ℝ⁴ foliated by hyperbolas or straight lines. Applying our deformation to holomorphic null curves in ℂ³ induced by catenoids in ℝ³, we rediscover the Hoffman-Osserman catenoids in ℝ⁴ foliated by ellipses or circles.

3차원 공간상에서 볼록 영역 광원이 주어진 물체를 비추면 각 객체에 대해 두 가지 유형의 그림자 볼륨, 즉 주어진 객체에 의해 부분적으로 가려지는 그림자볼륨과 완전히 가려지는 그림자 볼륨이 생성된다. 이를 각각 반음영부(penumbra)와 완전음영부(umbra)라 한다. 본 논문에서는 원, 타원, 구, 타원체, 실린더 등과 같은 볼록 이차 광원으로부터 볼록 다각형의 완전음영부를 구하는 문제를 고려한다. 먼저 완전음영부의 경계 표면을 특성화하고, 이를 이용하여 완전음영부를 구하는 알고리즘을 제시한다.

Indoor positioning is highlighted recently, and various kinds of indoor positioning systems are under developments. Since positioning systems have their own characteristics, proper positioning scheme should be chosen according to the required specifications. Positioning methods are classified into time-based and angle-based one. This paper presents the error analysis of time-based and angle-based location methods. Because measurements of these methods are nonlinear, linearizations are needed in both cases to estimate the user position. In the linearization, Gauss-Newton method is used in both cases. To analyze the position error, we investigate the error ellipse parameters that include eccentricity, rotation angle, and the size of ellipse. Simulation results show that the major axes of TOA and AOA method lie in different quadrants at most region of workspace, especially where the geometry is poor. When the TOA/AOA hybrid is employed, it is found that the error ellipse is reduced to the intersection of ellipses of TOA and AOA.
