In this paper the authors present their attempt io realize a motion pattern detector that finds specified sequence of image from input motion image. The detector is intended to be used for time-varying facial expression understanding. Needless to say, facial expression understanding by machine is crucial and enriches quality of human machine interaction. Among various facial expressions, like blinking, there must be such expressions that can not be recognized if input expression image is static. Still image of blinking can not be distinguished from sleeping. In this paper, the authors discuss implementation of their motion pattern detector and describe experiments using the detector. Experimental results confirm the feasibility of the idea behind the implemented detector.

This paper handles the UX implementation for system control using the visual input information of hand motion. Kinect sensor from Microsoft is used to acquire the user's skeleton image from the 3-D depth map at a rate of 30 frames per sec. and eventually knows the x-y coordinates of hand joints. The x-y coordinate value changes of hands between the present frame and next frame shows the direction of changes and rotation of changes and the various hand motion is used as a UX input command for remote image control on smart TV, etc. Through the experiments, we showed the implementation of the proposed idea.

In this paper, firstly, acceleration-time histories were generated by varying strong motion duration in the frequency domain for application to a seismically isolated nuclear power structure, so as to examine the effects of strong motion duration on the behavior of the structure. Secondly, real recorded earthquakes were modified to match the target response spectrum based on the revised SRP 3.7.1(2007) and the modified time histories were applied to the analysis of a seismically isolated nuclear power structure. The obtained values of acceleration and displacement responses of the structure were, finally, compared with the values obtained in case of applying acceleration-time histories generated in the frequency domain to the structure.

This paper proposes a dynamic human pose tracking method using motion-based search strategy from an image sequence obtained from a monocular camera. The proposed method compares the image features between 3D human model projections and real input images. The method repeats the process until predefined criteria and then estimates 3D human pose that generates the best match. When searching for the best matching configuration with respect to the input image, the search region is determined from the estimated 2D image motion and then search is performed randomly for the body configuration conducted within that search region. As the 2D image motion is highly constrained, this significantly reduces the dimensionality of the feasible space. This strategy have two advantages: the motion estimation leads to an efficient allocation of the search space, and the pose estimation method is adaptive to various kinds of motion.

Stereoscopic conversion has been an important and challenging issue for many 3-D video applications. Usually, there are two different stereoscopic conversion approaches, i.e., image motion-based conversion that uses motion information and object-based conversion that partitions an image into moving or static foreground object(s) and background and then converts the foreground in a stereoscopic object. As well, since the input sequence is MPEG-1/2 compressed video, motion data stored in compressed bitstream are often unreliable and thus the image motion-based conversion might fail. To solve this problem, we present the utilization of key-motion that has the better accuracy of estimated or extracted motion information. To deal with diverse motion types, a transform space produced from motion vectors and color differences is introduced. A key-motion is determined from the transform space and its associated stereoscopic image is generated. Experimental results validate effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.

Methods for the estimation of the coefficient matrices in the equation of motion for a linear multi-degree-of-freedom structure arc studied. For this purpose, the equation of motion is transformed into an auto-regressive and moving average with auxiliary input (ARMAX) model. The ARMAX parameters are evaluated using several methods of parameter estimation; such as toe least squares, the instrumental variable, the maximum likelihood and the limited Information maximum likelihood methods. Then the parameters of the equation of motion are recovered therefrom. Numerical example is given for a 3-story building model subjected to an earthquake exitation.

To make a dynamic system a given desired motion trajectory, a new feedback error learning scheme is proposed which is based on the repeatability of dynamic system motion. This method is composed of feedforward and feedback control laws. A benefit of this control scheme is that the input pattern that generates the desired motion can be formed without estimating the physical parameters of system dynamics. The numerical simulations show the good performance of the proposed scheme

The main objective of this paper is to develop an innovative methodology for the vibration suppression control of the multiple degrees-of-freedom (MDOF) flexible structure. The proposed structure represented in this research as a clamped-free-free-free truss type plate is rotated by motors. The controller has two loops for tracking and vibration suppression. In addition to stabilizing the actual system, the proposed feedback control is based on a genetic algorithm (GA) to seek the primary optimal control gain for tracking and stabilization purposes. Moreover, input shaping is introduced for the control scheme that limits motion-induced elastic vibration by shaping the reference command. Experimental results are presented, demonstrating that, in the control loop, roll and yaw angles track control and elastic mode stabilization. It was also demonstrated that combining the input shaper with the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) feedback method has been shown to yield improved performance in controlling the flexible structure system. The broad range of problems discussed in this research is valuable in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering for flexible structures with MDOM motion.

We described a real-time 3D computer vision system called MIMIC(Motion interface f Motion information Capture system) that can capture and save motion of an actor. This system analyzes input images from vision sensors and searches feature information like a head, hands, and feet. Moreover, this estimates intermediated joints as an elbow and hee using feature information and makes 3D human model having 20 joints. This virtual human model mimics the motion of an actor in real-time. Therefore this system can realize the movement of an actor unaffectedly because of making intermediated joint for complete human body contrary to other marker-free motion capture system.
