This paper describes the general considerations and operational applications of aircraft night vision goggle(NVG). The operators should recognize the NVG characteristics, natural night light sources and interoperability between them. And they have to keep attention to the method to take steps to avoid misperceptions, illusions during flight, and the negative impact on the effectiveness and safety of the mission. The considerations based on the interoperability between NVG and night operation suggest the evaluation items of NVG field test and flight test.

This paper presents a stereo vision based autonomous inspection system for welding quality control of a RV(Recreational Vehicle) sinking seat. The three dimensional geometry of the welding bead, which is the welding quality criteria, is measured by using the captured stereo images with a median filter applied on it. The image processing software for the system was developed using the NI LabVTEW software with NI vision system. In the manufacturing process of a RV sinking seat, the developed system can be used for overcoming the precision error that arises from a visible inspection by an operator. The welding quality inspection system for RV sinking seat was verified using experimentation.

We designed and fabricated a vision chip for edge detection with a $160{\times}120$ pixel array by using 0.35 ${\mu}m$ standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The designed vision chip is based on a retinal structure with a resistive network to improve the speed of operation. To improve the quality of final edge images, we applied a saturating resistive circuit to the resistive network. The light-adaptation mechanism of the edge detection circuit was quantitatively analyzed using a simple model of the saturating resistive element. To verify improvement, we compared the simulation results of the proposed circuit to the results of previous circuits.

In today's digital non-linear global business environment, innovation initiatives are influenced by inter-organizational, political, economic, environmental, technological systems, as well as by decisions made individually by key actors in these systems. Network-based structures emerge from social linkages and collaborations among various actors, creating innovation ecosystems, complex adaptive systems in which entities co-create value. A shared vision of value co-creation allows people operating individually to arrive together at the same future. Yet, relationships are difficult to see, continually changing and challenging to manage. The Innovation Ecosystem Transformation Framework construct includes three core components to make innovation relationships visible and articulate networks of relational capital for the wellbeing, sustainability and business success of innovation ecosystems: data-driven visualizations, storytelling and shared vision. Access to data facilitates building evidence-based visualizations using relational data. This has dramatically altered the way leaders can use data-driven analysis to develop insights and provide ongoing feedback needed to orchestrate relational capital and build shared vision for high quality decisions about innovation. Enabled by a shared vision, relational capital can guide decisions that catalyze, support and sustain an ecosystemic milieu conducive to innovation for business growth.

In this paper, satellite communication based video surveillance system that consisted of ultra-small aperture terminals with small-size smart vision sensor is proposed. The events such as forest fire, smoke, intruder movement are detected automatically in field and false alarms are minimized by using intelligent and high-reliable video analysis algorithms. The smart vision sensor is necessary to achieve high-confidence, high hardware endurance, seamless communication and easy maintenance requirements. To satisfy these requirements, real-time digital signal processor, camera module and satellite transceiver are integrated as a smart vision sensor-based ultra-small aperture terminal. Also, high-performance video analysis and image coding algorithms are embedded. The video analysis functions and performances were verified and confirmed practicality through computer simulation and vision sensor prototype test.

Drivable area detection is a major task in advanced driver assistance systems. For drivable area detection, several studies have proposed vision-sensor-based approaches. However, conventional drivable area detection methods that use vision sensors are not suitable for environments with changes in road elevation. In addition, if the boundary between the road and vegetation is not clear, judging a vegetation area as a drivable area becomes a problem. Therefore, this study proposes an accurate method of detecting drivable areas in environments in which road elevations change and vegetation exists. Experimental results show that when compared to the conventional method, the proposed method improves the average accuracy and recall of drivable area detection on the KITTI vision benchmark suite by 3.42%p and 8.37%p, respectively. In addition, when the proposed vegetation area removal method is applied, the average accuracy and recall are further improved by 6.43%p and 9.68%p, respectively.

Nowadays, the existing manual method for recording actual progress of the construction site has some drawbacks, such as great reliance on the experience of professional engineers, work-intensive, time consuming and error prone. A method integrating computer vision and BIM(Building Information Modeling) is presented for indoor automatic progress monitoring. The developed method can accurately calculate the engineering quantity of target component in the time-lapse images. Firstly, sample images of on-site target are collected for training the classifier. After the construction images are identified by edge detection and classifier, a voting algorithm based on mathematical geometry and vector operation will divide the target contour. Then, according to the camera calibration principle, the image pixel coordinates are conversed into the real world Coordinate and the real coordinates would be corrected with the help of the geometric information in BIM model. Finally, the actual engineering quantity is calculated.

Keeping a system in stable state is one of the important issues of control theory. The main goal of our basic research is stability of unmanned aerial vehicle (quadrotor). This type of system uses a variety of sensors to stabilize. In control theory and automatic control system to stabilize any system it is need to apply feedback control based on information from sensors. Our aim is to provide balance based on the 3D spatial information in real time. We used PID control method for stabilization of a seesaw balancing system and the article presents our experimental results. This paper presents the possibility of balancing of seesaw system based on feedback information from stereo vision system only.

This study proposed vision artificial intelligence-based automated supervision technology for external insulation and finishing system, and basic research was conducted for it. The automated supervision technology proposed in this study consists of the object detection model (YOLOv5) and the part that derives necessary information based on the object detection result and then determines whether the external insulation-related adhesion regulations are complied with. As a result of a test, the judgement accuracy of the proposed model showed about 70%. The results of this study are expected to contribute to securing the external insulation quality and further contributing to the realization of energy-saving eco-friendly buildings. As further research, it is necessary to develop a technology that can improve the accuracy of the object detection model by supplementing the number of data for model training and determine additional related regulations such as the adhesive area ratio.

This paper proposes a reliable high-precision positioning system that converges a satellite navigation system and a vision system in order to resolve position errors and outdoor shaded areas, two disadvantages of a satellite navigation system. In kinematic point positioning, the number of available satellite navigation systems changes in accordance with a moving object's position. For location determination of the object, it should receive location data from at least four satellite navigation systems. However, in urban areas, exact location determination is difficult due to factors like high buildings, obstacles, and reflected waves. In order to deal with the above problem, a vision system was employed. First, determine an exact position value of a specific building in urban areas whose environment is poor for a satellite navigation. Then, identify such building by a vision system and its position error is corrected using such building. A moving object can identify such specific building using a vision system while moving, make location data values, and revise location calculations, thereby resulting in reliable high precision location determination.
