Obtaining the complete trajectory of the object is a very important task in computer vision applications, such as video surveillance. Previous studies to recover the trajectory between two disconnected trajectory segments, however, do not takes into account the object's motion characteristics and uncertainty of trajectory segments. In this paper, we present a novel approach to recover the trajectory between two disjoint but associated trajectory segments, called goal-directed tracking. To incorporate the object's motion characteristics and uncertainty, the goal-directed state equation is first introduced. Then the goal-directed tracking framework is constructed by integrating the equation to the object tracking and trajectory linking process pipeline. Evaluation on challenging dataset demonstrates that proposed method can accurately recover the missing trajectory between two disconnected trajectory segments as well as appropriately constrain a motion of the object to the its goal(or the target state) with uncertainty.

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.

Almost vision application systems use 2-D information by taking only one camera. Recently it arises to utilize 3-D information, which is distance from camera to object, because 2-D information is not sufficient. Therefore, we take stereo camera system. In motion detection algorithm using stereo vision, it operates like one camera system, which takes advantage of correlation, edge, and difference algorithm, when it detects any motion. At that time, to detect motion, it compares two images, which is from two cameras, to calculate disparity that contains distance information. By disparity, it can compute real distance and size of object information. We describe a motion detection algorithm which computes 3-D distance and object size in real time.

The motion of a cylindrical object resting on shallow seabed due to wave forces and soil friction is studied. Given environmental conditions such as wave characteristics and seabed soil properties, the equations of motion are derived and the corresponding reponses of the cylinder in two dimensional plane, i.e., translational and rotational displacements, accelerations, are calculated. The motion is substantially restrained by the penetration of a cylinder into seabed and the parametric study focuses on finding out a minimum penetration depth which makes the cylinder motionless.

This paper presents a new method for automatically calibrating robot link (Kinematic) parameters during the process of estimating motion parameters of a moving object. The motion estimation is performed based on stereo cameras mounted on the end-effector of a robot manipulator. This approach significantly differs from other calibration approaches in that the calibration is achieved by simply observing the motion of the moving object (without resorting to any other external calibrating tools) at numerous and widely varying joint-angle configurations. A differential error model, which expresses the measurement errors of a robot in terms of robot link parameter errors and motion parameters, is developed. And then a measurement equation representing the true measurement values is derived. By estimating the above two kinds of parameters minimizing the difference between the measurement equations and the true moving pattern, the calibration of the robot link parameters and the estimation of the motion parameters are accomplished at the same time.

Generally, moving images contain the various components in motions, which reange from a static object and background to a fast moving object. To extract the accurate motion parameters, we must consider the various motions. That requires a wide search egion in motion estimation. The wide search, however, causes a high computational complexity. If we have a few knowledge about the motion direction and magnitude before motion estimation, we can determine the search location and search window size using the already-known information about the motion. In this paper, we present a local adaptive motion estimation approach that predicts a block motion based on spatio-temporal neighborhood blocks and adaptively defines the search location and search window size. This paper presents a technique for reducing computational complexity, while having high accuracy in motion estimation. The proposed algorithm is introduced the forward and backward projection techniques. The search windeo size for a block is adaptively determined by previous motion vectors and prediction errors. Simulations show significant improvements in the qualities of the motion compensated images and in the reduction of the computational complexity.

The purpose of this research is to examine precise linear motion and rotary motion. A six-degrees-of-freedom fine motion mechanism is introduced to drive an object precisely in directions of X, Y and Z-axes and around them : three rectangular linear motion and rotary ones. An experimental mechanism is introduced in which a $70$\times$70$\times$70$\times$(${mm}^3$) cube object is driven by six PZT actuator. The study is to establish the six-degrees-of-freedom fine motion mechanism of linear motion and rotary motion using PZT actuator.

Robust extraction of 3D object's features, shape and global motion information from 2D image sequence is described. The object's 21 feature points on the pyramid type synthetic object are extracted automatically using color transform technique. The extracted features are used to recover the 3D shape and global motion of the object using stereo paraperspective camera model and sequential SVD(Singuiar Value Decomposition) factorization method. An inherent error of depth recovery due to the paraperspective camera model was removed by using the stereo image analysis. A 30 synthetic object with 21 features reflecting various position was designed and tested to show the performance of proposed algorithm by comparing the recovered shape and motion data with the measured values.

We propose a coordinated motion control algorithm of dual manipulators handling a flexible object. The controller is designed so that it can specify the apparent impedance of the object as well as can control its deformation. The experimental results will illustrate validity of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper we propose an algorithm that detects, tracks a moving object, and classify whether it is human from the video clip captured under the fixed video camera. It detects the outline of the moving object by finding out the local maximum points of the modulus image, which is the magnitude of the motion vectors. It also estimates the size and the center of the moving object. When the object is detected, the algorithm discriminates whether it is human by segmenting the face. It is segmented by searching the elliptic shape using Hough transform and grouping the skin color region within the elliptic shape.
