This paper presents a vision/LiDAR integrated navigation system that provides accurate relative navigation performance on a general ground surface, in GNSS-denied environments. The considered ground surface during flight is approximated as a piecewise continuous model, with flat and slope surface profiles. In its implementation, the presented system consists of a strapdown IMU, and an aided sensor block, consisting of a vision sensor and a LiDAR on a stabilized gimbal platform. Thus, two-dimensional optical flow vectors from the vision sensor, and range information from LiDAR to ground are used to overcome the performance limit of the tactical grade inertial navigation solution without GNSS signal. In filter realization, the INS error model is employed, with measurement vectors containing two-dimensional velocity errors, and one differenced altitude in the navigation frame. In computing the altitude difference, the ground slope angle is estimated in a novel way, through two bisectional LiDAR signals, with a practical assumption representing a general ground profile. Finally, the overall integrated system is implemented, based on the extended Kalman filter framework, and the performance is demonstrated through a simulation study, with an aircraft flight trajectory scenario.

When surgical instruments are tracked in an image-guided surgical navigation system, a stereo vision system with high accuracy is generally used, which is called optical tracker. However, this optical tracker has the disadvantage that a line-of-sight between the tracker and surgical instrument must be maintained. Therefore, to complement the disadvantage of optical tracking systems, an internal vision sensor is attached to a surgical instrument in this paper. Monitoring the target marker pattern attached on patient with this vision sensor, this surgical instrument is possible to be tracked even when the line-of-sight of the optical tracker is occluded. To verify the system's effectiveness, a series of basic experiments is carried out. Lastly, an integration experiment is conducted. The experimental results show that rotational error is bounded to max $1.32^{\circ}$ and mean $0.35^{\circ}$, and translation error is in max 1.72mm and mean 0.58mm. Finally, it is confirmed that the proposed tool tracking method using an internal vision sensor is useful and effective to overcome the occlusion problem of the optical tracker.

Objective: This case report describes the treatment of hemoptysis in a bronchiectasis patient with Hyunggaeyungyo-tang plus Gamijihwang-tang. Methods: The hemoptysis in this patient was suspected to result from bronchiectasis, which was diagnosed with a chest CT at another hospital. She was treated with a herbal medicine, Hyunggaeyungyo-tang, plus Gamijihwang-tang. The effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated by measuring the amount of hemoptysis and by a visual analogue scale (VAS) to determine the patient's quality of life. Results: After administration of Hyunggaeyungyo-tang plus Gamijihwang-tang, the severity of hemoptysis decreased, based on the amount of hemoptysis and the VAS scores. Conclusions: Hyunggaeyungyo-tang plus Gamijihwang-tang is a potent therapeutic agent for the treatment of hemoptysis.

무인 운반설비의 자동화 시스템 개발의 한 부분으로써 Stereo vision system에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. Stereo vision system에서는 영상을 통해 특정 물체를 검색하고 검색된 물체 정보를 기반으로 Edge를 추출하고, 추출된 Edge를 이용하여 물체의 위치적 특징을 찾고 무인크레인이 이동해야할 위치좌표를 전달한다. 본 논문에서는 실제 산업현장에 가장 보편적인 형상인 Slab와 Coil을 기준으로 두 대의 CCD camera를 이용하여 물체의 형상을 인식하고, 무인크레인의 Hookblock부분이 물체의 중심점을 찾는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 Stereo vision system의 카메라 설치 위치에 따라 직교식과 수평식으로 2가지의 방식을 제안, 실험을 하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘은 무인 운반설비의 자동화 시스템 개발에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, we find a robot's path using a Virtual Reality Modeling Language and overlay vision. For correct robot's path we describe a method for localizing a mobile robot in its working environment using a vision system and VRML. The robt identifies landmarks in the environment, using image processing and neural network pattern matching techniques, and then its performs self-positioning with a vision system based on a well-known localization algorithm. After the self-positioning procedure, the 2-D scene of the vision is overlaid with the VRML scene. This paper describes how to realize the self-positioning, and shows the overlap between the 2-D and VRML scenes. The method successfully defines a robot's path.

Three-diemnsional bead profile was measured using the biprism stereo vision sensor in GMAW, which consists of an optical filter, biprism and CCD camera. Since single CCD camera is used, this system has various advantages over the conventional stereo vision system using two cameras such as finding the corresponding points along the horizontal scanline. In this wort, the biprism stereo vision sensor was designed for the GMAW, and the linear calibration method was proposed to determine the prism and camera parameters. Image processing techniques were employed to find the corresponding point along the pool boundary. The ism-intensity contour corresponding to the pool boundary was found in the pixel order and the filter-based matching algorithm was used to refine the corresponding points in the subpixel order. Predicted bead dimensions were in broad agreements with the measured results under the conditions of spray mode and humping bead.

And, this system proposes a method which robot manipulator grips moving object and predicts coordinate of moving objcet. The trajectory tracking and position coordinate are computed by vision data acquired to camera. Robot manipulator tracks and grips moving object by vision data. The proposed vision systems use a algorithm to do real-time processing.

We present a real-time interactive particle-art with human motion based on computer vision techniques. We used computer vision techniques to reduce the number of equipments that required for media art appreciations. We analyze pros and cons of various computer vision methods that can adapted to interactive digital media art. In our system, background subtraction is applied to search an audience. The audience image is changed into particles with grid cells. Optical flow is used to detect the motion of the audience and create particle effects. Also we define a virtual button for interaction. This paper introduces a series of computer vision modules to build the interactive digital media art contents which can be easily configurated with a camera sensor.

본 논문에서는 단일 카메라로부터 주어진 영상을 실시간으로 장애물과 비장애물 영역으로 분류 한 후 VFH를 이용하여 안전한 경로를 선정하는 실시간 주행 시스템을 개발한다. 제안된 시스템은 배경 분류기, 점유 그리드맵 생성기와 VFH기반의 선정기로 구성된다. 배경 분류기는 입력된 $320{\times}240$ 영상의 색조와 명도 정보를 이용하여 실시간으로 배경파 장애물 영역을 분류한다. 점유 그리드맵 생성기는 이를 바탕으로 위험도에 따라 10개의 그레이 레벨을 가지는 $32{\times}24$의 점유 그리드맵을 생성한다. VFH를 이용하여 폴라 히스토그램을 작성한 후 밀도가 낮은 곳으로 주행 경로를 결정 한다. 제안된 기술의 효율성을 증명하기 위하여 다양한 형태의 장애물을 포함하는 실내 및 실외 환경에서 평가하였으며 센서 기반의 그 결과는 기존의 센서기반의 주행시스템과 비교 되었다. 그 결과 제안된 시스템은 88%의 정확도를 보였으며, 기존의 시스템보다 실시간으로 빠르고 안전한 주행을 수행할 수 있음이 증명되었다.

In this paper the intent recognition system which recognizes the human's head movements as a simple non-verbal intent representation is presented. The system recognizes five basic intent representations. i.e., strong/weak affirmation. strong/weak negation, and ambiguity by image processing of nodding or shaking movements of head. The vision system for tracking the head movements is composed of CCD camera, image processing board and personal computer. The modified template matching method which replaces the reference image with the searched target image in the previous step is used for the robust tracking of the head movements. For the improvement of the processing speed, the searching is performed in the pyramid representation of the original image. By inspecting the variance of the head movement trajectories. we can recognizes the two basic intent representations - affirmation and negation. Also, by focusing the speed of the head movements, we can see the possibility which recognizes the strength of the intent representation.
