Object recognition in the field of robotics generally has depended on a computer vision system. Recently, RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) technology has been suggested to support recognition and has been rapidly and widely applied. This paper introduces the more advanced RFID-based recognition. A novel tag named 3D tag, which facilitates the understanding of the object, was designed. The previous RFID-based system only detects the existence of the object, and therefore, the system should find the object and had to carry out a complex process such as pattern match to identify the object. 3D tag, however, not only detects the existence of the object as well as other tags, but also estimates the orientation and position of the object. These characteristics of 3D tag allows the robot to considerably reduce its dependence on other sensors required for object recognition the object. In this paper, we analyze the 3D tag's detection characteristic and the position and orientation estimation algorithm of the 3D tag-based RFID system.

본 논문에서는 화면상 약속된 동작을 찾고 추적하는 알고리즘을 이용한 사용자 인터페이스를 제안한다. 현재 frame과 복수의 이전 frame간의 차영상을 이용하여 움직임 영역을 검출하고 약속된 제스처를 취하는 영역을 제어대상으로 인식한다. 이를 통하여 사용자가 장갑을 사용한다던지, 인종, 피부색등에 구애받지 않고 손동작 영역을 검출해 낼 수 있다. 또한 기존 색체 분포 추적 알고리즘을 개량하여 유사한 배경을 가로지르는 경우의 무게중심 위치의 정확성을 높였다. 그 결과 기존 피부색 인식 방법에 비해 약속된 손동작 인식률의 향상이 있었으며 기존 색체 추적 알고리즘에 비교하여 추적 인식률 향상을 확인할 수 있었다.

Moving object detection system has been an emerging research field in various advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and surveillance system. In this paper, we propose two optical flow based moving object detection methods at dynamic scenes. Both proposed methods consist of three successive steps; pre-processing, foreground segmentation, and post-processing steps. Two proposed methods have the same pre-processing and post-processing steps, but different foreground segmentation step. Pre-processing calculates mainly optical flow map of which each pixel has the amplitude of motion vector. Dense optical flows are estimated by using Farneback technique, and the amplitude of the motion normalized into the range from 0 to 255 is assigned to each pixel of optical flow map. In the foreground segmentation step, moving object and background are classified by using the optical flow map. Here, we proposed two algorithms. One is Gaussian mixture model (GMM) based background subtraction, which is applied on optical map. Another is adaptive thresholding based foreground segmentation, which classifies each pixel into object and background by updating threshold value column by column. Through the simulations, we show that both optical flow based methods can achieve good enough object detection performances in dynamic scenes.

Unlike rigid objects, the edge intensity of a gaseous object is various along the object boundary (edge intensities of some pixels on a gaseous object boundary are weaker than those of small rigid objects or noise itself). Therefore, the conventional edge detectors may not adequately detect boundary-like edge pixels for gaseous objects. In this paper A new methodology for segmenting gaseous object images is introduced. Proposed method consists of fuzzy-based boundary detector applicable to gaseous as well as rigid objects and concave region filling to recover object regions.

In the field of augmented reality, edge-based methods have been popularly used in tracking textureless 3D objects. However, edge-based methods are inherently vulnerable to cluttered backgrounds. Another way to track textureless or poorly-textured 3D objects is to directly align image intensity of 3D object between consecutive frames. Although the direct methods enable more reliable and stable tracking compared to using local features such as edges, they are more sensitive to occlusion and less accurate than the edge-based methods. Therefore, we propose a method that combines an edge-based method and a direct method to leverage the advantages from each approach. Experimental results show that the proposed method is much robust to both fast camera (or object) movements and occlusion while still working in real time at a frame rate of 18 Hz. The tracking success rate and tracking accuracy were improved by up to 84% and 1.4 pixels, respectively, compared to using the edge-based method or the direct method solely.

움직임 객체 분할은 내용 기반 응용을 위하여 핵심적인 것이다. 다중 프레임 차이 누적은 프레임 차이 정보를 누적하여 움직임 에지를 검출한다. 검출된 움직임 에지와 분할될 현재 프레임의 에지를 비교하여 움직임 객체 에지를 생성한다. 그러나 실시간 카메라로 입력되는 연속 동영상의 움직임 객체 에지에는 객체 색과 배경 색의 일치 혹은 객체의 움직임 감소로 말미암아 에지 단락이 발생한다. 에지 단락은 매우 심각한 문제로서 움직임 객체의 영상 품질을 심하게 손상시키는 경우도 있다. 본 연구에서는 강건하고 포괄적인 에지 연결 알고리즘을 개발하여 이 문제를 해결하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 자동 움직임 객체 분할 알고리즘을 개발하여 분명하고 깨끗한 모양의 움직임 객체를 자동으로 분할하였다. 개발한 알고리즘은 CIF 영상을 초당 30 프레임 이상 처리할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 개발한 알고리즘은 MPEG-4 내용 기반 코딩 시스템에 적용할 수 있다.

In this paper we propose an expert system for content-based image retrieval with object database. The proposed system finds keyword by using knowledge-base and feature of extracted object, and retrieves image by using keyword based image retrieval method. The system can decrease error of image retrieval and save running time. The system also checks whether similar objects exist or not. If not, user can store information of object in object database. Proposed system is flexible and extensible, enabling experts to incrementally add more knowledge and information. Experimental results show that the proposed system is more effective than existing content-based image retrieval method in running time and precision.

In this paper, we propose a new color histogram model for object tracking. The proposed model incorporates the color arrangement of the target that encodes the relative spatial distribution of the colors inside the object. Using the color arrangement, we can determine which color bin is more reliable for tracking. Based on the proposed color histogram model, we derive a mean shift framework using a modified Bhattacharyya distance. In addition, we present a method of updating an object scale and a target model to cope with changes in the target appearance. Unlike conventional mean shift based methods, our algorithm produces satisfactory results even when the object being tracked shares similar colors with the background.

Indoor localization is one of the basic elements of Location-Based Service, such as indoor navigation, location-based precision marketing, spatial recognition of robotics, augmented reality, and mixed reality. We propose a Voxel Labeling-based visual positioning system using object simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Our method is a method of determining a location through single image 3D cuboid object detection and object SLAM for indoor navigation, then mapping to create an indoor map, addressing it with voxels, and matching with a defined space. First, high-quality cuboids are created from sampling 2D bounding boxes and vanishing points for single image object detection. And after jointly optimizing the poses of cameras, objects, and points, it is a Visual Positioning System (VPS) through matching with the pose information of the object in the voxel database. Our method provided the spatial information needed to the user with improved location accuracy and direction estimation.

In this paper, we propose a vision-based object detection and tracking system using online learning. The proposed system adopts a feature point-based method for tracking a series of inter-frame movement of a newly detected object, to estimate rapidly and toughness. At the same time, it trains the detector for the object being tracked online. Temporarily using the result of the failure detector to the object, it initializes the tracker back tracks to enable the robust tracking. In particular, it reduced the processing time by improving the method of updating the appearance models of the objects to increase the tracking performance of the system. Using a data set obtained in a variety of settings, we evaluate the performance of the proposed system in terms of processing time.
