One of the basic technology for implementing the autonomy of UGV(Unmanned Ground Vehicle) is a path planning algorithm using obstacle and raw terrain information which are gathered from perception sensors such as stereo camera and laser scanner. In this paper, we propose a generation method of DVGM(Directional Velocity Grid Map) which have traverse speed of UGV for the five heading directions except the rear one. The fuzzy system is designed to generate a resonable traveling speed for DVGM from current patch to the next one by using terrain slope, roughness and obstacle information extracted from raw world model data. A simulation is conducted with world model data sampled from real terrain so as to verify the performance of proposed fuzzy inference system.

In this paper, we propose a self-localization algorithm using vertical line segments. Indoor environment is consist of horizontal and vertical line features such as doors, furniture, and so on. From the input image, vertical line edges are detected by an edge operator, Then, line segments are obtained by projecting edge image vertically and detecting local maximum from the projected histogram. From the relation of horizontal position of line segments and the location of the robot, nonlinear equations are come out Localization is done by solving the equations by using Newton's method. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm using one camera is simple and applicable to indoor environment.

Recently, the research of the FPD(Flat Panel Display)which is substituted for CRT(Cathode Ray Tube) has been widely progressed. But most equipment that are used for production of FPD are expensive and we must import these equipment. Among these equipment, most important one is a auto-alignment system. In this paper, we present a high speed, high precision auto-alignment system, in which a PLD auto tuning algorithm, 1-dimensional CCD(Dcharge Coupled Device) camera, vision board, and vision data processing algorithm are included.

Injection technology is one of the important technologies in a diesel engine. Many studies have done on the injection system. In this study, the fuel chamber geometry, the orifice ratio and the needle lift of the injection valve of a diesel engine for generating electricity are varied and tested. The injection pressure, duration and spray shapes are produced with pressure transducer, needle lift sensor and highspeed camera. The result shows that the nozzle hole size has influence on the rail pressure and injection duration sensuously.

This paper describes a systein which enables a fast 3 -dimensional profile measurement using a slit-ray projection method. One distinctive feature of this system is that a real-time video is processor is employed in order to reduce the amount of image data to be processed without eliminating essential information. Experimental results show that a calibrating method presented for the TV camera and the slit-ray projector is convenient and enables sufficient accurate measurements.

In this study, control technique of two types of automatic snowplow was experimentally investigated. One is a remote-controlled snowplow used for removing snow around houses, and the other is an autonomous snowplow for use in wide, open spaces such as a parking lot of a large-scale retail store. A commercially available snowplow was modified to enable remote control by the use of a personal handy-phone system. The autonomous controller utilizes a vision sensor that consists of a CCD video camera and a computer for image processing. In addition, design of a practical landmark was examined.

A control system for crop cutting in Hot strip Mill is developed. The development system is composed of three sub-systems. one is crop shape system which captures the shapes of the strip's head and tail using the area CCD camera. Another is Laser Speed System which measures the speed and length of strip. and, the other is control system which controls the optimal cutting length and crop shear motor. As a result, with a developed system we can reduce crop loss considerably.

A two-dimensional positioning system by use of an M-array is proposed. An M-array pattern, which is known as one of the two-dimensional pseudorandom array, is attached on an object to be positioned. The M-array pattern is observed by a TV camera and crosscorrelated with the reference M-array. The maximum of the two-dimensional crosscorrelation function is sought by two-dimensional servo system. This method of positioning can be used in very noisy circumstances.

This paper presents a navigation control method for a vision guided robot. The robot is equipped with one camera, an IBM/AT compatible PC, and a sonar system. The robot can either follow track specified on a monitor screen or navigate to a destination avoiding any obstacles on its way. The robot finds its current position as well as its moving direction by taking an image of a circular pattern placed on the ceiling.

This paper proposes the multiple objects focusing algorithm. Given multiple objects at different distances from a camera, we assume that one object is well-focused and the others are out-of-focused. The proposed auto-focusing algorithm is summarized as follows: (i) detects edges from an input image, (ⅱ) estimates the radius of PSF (Point Spread Function) across the edge, (ⅲ) gather edge points having same radius of PSF, (ⅳ) segments the image into regions with the same radius of PSF, and (ⅴ) restores the each segmented region using the corresponding PSF.
