In this research, a mesh connected VLSI structure is proposed for the real time computation of the generalized Hough transform(GHT). The purpose of the research is to design a generalized Hough transformer that can be realized as a single chip processor. The GHT has been modified to yield a highly parallel structure consisting of simple processing elements(PEs) and communication networks. In the proposed structure, the GHT can be computed by first assigning an image pixel to a PE and performing shift and add operations. The result of the CAD circuit simulation shows that it can be computed in the time proportional to the number of pixels in the pattern. In addition to the Hough transformer, the peak detector has been designed to reduce 1)the number of the I/O operations between the transformer and the host computer and 2) the host computer's burden for peak detection by transmitting only the local peaks detected from the transformed accumulator. It is expected that the proposed single chip Hough transformer with peak detector makes a fast and inexpensive edge based object recognition systems possible for many industrial and military applications.

A flexible tactile sensor away with 8 H 8 tactile elements is designed and fabricated. The material of the sensor is PVDF(polyvinylidene fluoride) film and flexible circuitry is used in the fabrication fur the flexibility of the sensor The experimental results on static and dynamic properties of the sensor are obtained and examined. The signals of a contact pressure to the sensor are sensed and processed in the DSP system in which the signals are digitalized and filtered. The processed signals of the sensor outputs are visualized in a personal computer for illustrating the shape and force distribution of a contact object.

본 논문에서는 지능형 영상 감시 시스템에서 보행자를 검출하고 추적을 수행하기 위해 은닉층 활성함수에 가우시안 대신 FCM를 사용한 RBFNNs 패턴분류기와 객체 추적 알고리즘인 Mean Shift를 융합한 시뮬레이터를 개발한다. 시뮬레이터는 검출부과 추적부로 나누며, 검출부에서는 입력 영상으로부터 기울기의 방향성을 이용한 HOG(Histogram of Oriented Gradient) 특징을 구하고 빠른 처리속도를 위해 PCA 알고리즘을 통해 차원수를 축소하고 pRBFNNs 패턴분류기를 통해 보행자를 검출 한다. 다음 추적부에서 객체 추적 알고리즘인 Mean Shift를 이용하여 검출된 보행자 추적을 수행한다.

최근 지능형 차량과 ADAS(Advanced Driver Assistance System) 개발에 있어 차량 영상을 이용한 도로 정보 분석이 중요한 화두로 떠오르고 있다. 다양한 도로 정보 중에서 도로표지판 검출 및 판단은 차량 운행 환경을 파악할 수 있는 중요한 과정이 될 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 차량 영상에서의 색상 정보를 이용하여 표지판의 후보 영역을 추출(Candidate Generation)하고, 후보 영상에 대한 HOG(Histogram of Gradient) 특징 분석을 통해 도로표지판 여부와 그 종류를 판단(Object Classification)하는 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 또한 구현 알고리즘은 실시간 처리가 가능한 속도를 보여주어 지능형 차량 또는 ADAS에서의 실제 적용이 가능하도록 하였다.

The object of the present work is the natural frequency analysis of subambient pressure tri-pad and pico sliders. Head/disk interaction during start/stop and constant speed were detected by using the acoustic emission (AE) test system. The frequency spectrum analysis is performed using the AE signal obtained during the head/disk interaction. The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analysis of the AE signals is used to understand the interaction between the AE signal and the state of contact. Natural frequency analysis was performed using the Ansys program. The results indicate acceptable accordance of finite element calculation results with the experimental results.

This paper presents an optimal design for the SPECT reconstruction filter, based on a physical limit of SPECT lesion detection capability. To increase the performance of the filter on lesion detectability, the filter design was focused on increasing the local SyW ratio of a threshold lesion, that was determined by minimum detectable lesion size (MDU) from SPECT lesion detectabllity contrast-detail curve. The proposed filter showed flexible window characteristics of resolution recovery and noise smoothing for MDLSs in the resolution-limited and photon-limited regions, respectively, compennting for the relative impact of the main limitation factors on threshold detectability. The simulated results showed good adaptability of the proposed filter to the changes in physical parameters of photon counts, object contrast, and detector system resolution.

우리는 동영상에서 낮은 연산량으로 강인하게 움직이는 물체를 탐지하는 방법을 제안한다. 동영상에서 움직이는 물체를 탐지하기 위한 많은 방법들이 제안되었는데, 각각의 방법은 접근 방법에 따라 탐지 성능과 처리속도에 trade-off가 존재한다. 최근 폭넓게 사용되고 있는 가우시안 혼합모델을 이용한 배경모델생성 법의 경우 탐지성능은 우수하나 연산량이 많고, 차영상(Temporal difference)을 이용한 방법은 연산량은 적으나 노이즈에 민감하게 반응한다. 또한 알고리즘 특성상 탐지된 물체에 Hole과 Ghost가 발생하는 문제가 있다. 우리는 이러한 단점들을 극복하기 위해 이 두 가지 알고리즘을 효율적으로 결합하여 움직이는 물체를 탐지하였다. 실험은 사람, 차, 오토바이와 같이 실외환경에서 흔히 움직이는 물체로 탐지되는 요소들이 다양한 환경에서 실시하였으며, 실험한 결과 배경영역에서 발생하는 노이즈는 효과적으로 제거하면서 움직이는 물체를 탐지하였다.

In this letter, we propose a dual autostereoscopic display platform employing a natural interaction method, which will be useful for sharing visual data with users. To provide 3D visualization of a model to users who collaborate with each other, a beamsplitter is used with a pair of autostereoscopic displays, providing a visual illusion of a floating 3D image. To interact with the virtual object, we track the user's hands with a depth camera. The gesture recognition technique we use operates without any initialization process, such as specific poses or gestures, and supports several commands to control virtual objects by gesture recognition. Experiment results show that our system performs well in visualizing 3D models in real-time and handling them under unconstrained conditions, such as complicated backgrounds or a user wearing short sleeves.

Integral imaging combined with photon-counting detection has been researched for three-dimensional information sensing under low-light-level conditions. This paper addresses the extraction of distance information with photon-counting integral imaging. The longitudinal distance to the object is obtained utilizing photon-counting elemental images. The pixel disparity is estimated by maximizing the nonlinear correlation of photocounts. The first- and second-order statistical properties of the nonlinear correlation are theoretically derived. In the experiments, these properties are verified by varying the mean number of photocounts in the scene. The average distance is compared to that from the intensity information, showing the robustness of the proposed system even at low photocounts.
