Extrapolation off the boundaries of scattered data is an intrinsic feature of interpolation. However, extrapolation causes serious problems in stereo-vision and mapping, which has not been investigated carefully. In this paper, we present novel schemes to eliminate the extrapolation effects for the generation of a digital elevation model (DEM). As a first step, we devise point distribution criteria, namely COG (Center of Gravity) and ECI (Empty Center Index), and apply rigorous and robust elimination based on the criteria. Compared with other methods, the proposed schemes are computationally fast and applicable to a wide range of interpolation techniques.

This paper develops a novel automatic parking algorithm based on a fuzzy logic controller with the vehicle pose for the input and the steering rate for the output. It localizes the vehicle by using only external sensors - a vision sensor and ultrasonic sensors. Then it automatically learns an optimal fuzzy if-then rule set from the training data, using an evolutionary fuzzy system. Furthermore, it also finds the green zone for the ready-to-reverse position in which parking is possible just by reversing. It has been tested on a 4-wheeled Pioneer mobile robot which emulates the real vehicle.

It is possible to obtain an omnidirectional stereo image via a single camera by using a catadioptric approach with a convex mirror and concave lens. In order to measure three-dimensional distance using the imaging system, the optical parameters of the system are required. In this paper, a calibration procedure to extract the parameters of the imaging system is described. Based on the parameters, experiments are carried out to verify the performance of the three-dimensional distance measurement of a single camera omnidirectional stereo imaging system.

A method to focus the object in camera system by applying the Hill climb algorithm from optical lens moving device (VCM; Voice coil motor) is proposed. The focusing algorithm from VCM is focus on the object but in these criteria is a well-known drawback; the focus is good only at same distance objects but the focus is bad (blur image) at different distance objects because of the DOF (Depth of focus) or DOF (Depth of field) at the optical characteristic. Here, the new camera system that describes the Reflector of free curvature systems (or Diffractive Fresnel lens) and the partition of focusing window area is proposed. The method to improve the focus in all areas (different distance objects) is proposed by new optical system (discrete auto in-focus) using the Reflector of free curvature systems (or Diffractive Fresnel lens) and by applying the partition of all areas. The proposal is able to obtain good focus in all areas.

Follow-me function of drones is new and attractive for selfie drone users, where the drone autonomously follows and capture the user. Currently the products use the difference between GPS's in the drone and user side mobile GCS, but the targeting accuracy is not satisfactory owing to the low accuracy of GPS data, often the order of ten meters. We designed a new follow-me mode algorithm that utilizes the accuracy of visual tracking algorithm and the reliability of GPS-based. The experiment shows that proposed follow-me can capture much accurately the target user in the center of video content than GPS-only methods, and recover the vision algorithm failure quickly in 5-10 seconds.

This paper introduces the optimal disposition of direction finder using EM(Electro-magnetic) wave propagation analysis which is based on LR(Longley-Rice) propagation model and the characteristics of direction finder, emitter and terrain. Initial model is simulated and modified to minimize propagation error as a result of the field trials. Proposed analysis used line-of-sight analysis and mountain-top extraction algorithm to optimize the disposition in the assigned area and the result can be displayed in the 3D map in order of the percentage coverage for direction finding possibility area.

최근 고도의 산업 발전이 진행되면서 생산현장의 IT 기술을 접목한 자동화시스템이 대두되고 있다. 특히 설계 도면과 생산된 부품의 정합여부를 검사하여 제품의 생산 품질을 관리하는 도면정합검사는 기존의 수작업을 대체하고, 신뢰성을 보장할 수 있는 자동화 시스템의 도입이 필수적이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 비전 시스템을 기반으로 생산된 부품의 이미지를 인식/추출하고, 이를 이미지화된 도면과 매칭하여 정합 검사하는 도면정합검사시스템을 설계하였다. 따라서 기존의 수작업을 대체하여 생산의 효율을 높이고, 보다 정확한 검사기록을 관리하여 생산의 신뢰성 향상에 크게 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

최근 국내 전력공급 문제에 따라 다양한 에너지절감형 기술과 제품이 연구되고 있다. 특히 국내 기준 전체 전력 소비량의 약 20%를 차지하는 조명분야에서는 기존 조명을 대체할 친환경, 고효율 LED 조명에 대한 기술이 대두되고 있다. LED 조명은 원리의 특성상 광효율과 비례하여 LED 접합부 온도가 상승하며 이는 광효율과 수명을 저하시킨다. 이에 다양한 방열기술이 LED 조명기술의 핵심이라 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 LED 모듈 접합부의 발열을 열전소자를 활용하여 열전발전 함으로써 에너지를 절감하고, 열회수를 통한 방열효과를 제공 하는 LED 조명을 제안한다.
