Stable operation of an industry crane becomes more important as current industry facilities become larger and operate at higher speeds. This paper proposes implementing a system for monitoring moving objects within safety lines of an industry crane by camera. The cost of implementing such a system is low, since it requires only a webcam and notebook computer. The detection algorithm of moving objects uses the feature extraction method by image differential histograms. The proposed system is robust to variations in the weather and environment. The area of the inside safety lines is considered and shadow removal algorithm is used for good performance of the system. The system is valuable for practical applications in the industry.

The main object of this study was to prove the effectiveness of satellite image data for extraction of the Matsucoccus Thenbergianae Miller ビt Park damaged area. The effectiveness of extraction of damaged area was improved by using the BRCT(Backwards radiance correction transformation) with DEM for normalization of topographic effects. The surface analysis of the extracted damaged area was revealed that the damage was started at south-west slope with the aspect of 7 to 18 degrees, and 50% to 70% of the highest altitude mountains. The direction of damage attached by the Matsucoccus Thunbergianae Miller et Park was able to predict through the analysis of periodical of years' images

In this paper we proposed an intelligent PTZ camera system which detects, classifies and tracks moving objects. If a moving object is detected, features are extracted for classification and then realtime tracking follows. We used GMM for detection followed by shadow removal. Legendre moment is used for classification. Without auto focusing, we can control the PTZ camera movement by using center points of the image and object's direction, distance and velocity. To implement the realtime system, we used TI DM6446 Davinci processor. Throughout the experiment, we obtained system's high performance in classification and tracking both at vehicle's normal and high speed motion.

현재 NASA에서 제공되는 MODIS 지표반사율자료(MOD09)는 MODIS영상을 이용한 각종 주제자료들의 중요한 입력 자료로 사용되고 있으며, MODIS 지표반사율 자료에 대한 객관적인 검증연구가 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 MOD09의 검증관련 초기 연구로서, 남한에 분포하는 불변성 타겟(invariant target)을 대상으로 2006년 일별 250m MODIS 지표반사율자료(MOD09GQK)자료의 객관적 검증을 시도하였다. 우선, MOD09 QA(Quality Assurance)자료를 이용하여 구름의 영향을 받은 화소를 제거한 후, 수치지도와 토지피복도를 이용하여 정의한 불변성 타겟에 해당되는 MOD09영상의 화소값을 추출하였다. 이와 같이 추출된 시계열 MOD09GHK영상의 화소값에 1차 회귀분석을 적용하여 이상 반사율 값을 탐지하고, 그 원인을 분석하였다. 검증 결과 나지지역에 대해서 0.0186의 RMSE값이 나타났으며, 인공물의 경우 0.2891의 RMSE값을 보였다. 발생된 이상 화소를 살펴보면, 구름, 그림자, 눈에 영향에 의해 발생한 것도 있으며, 원인을 알 수 없는 이상 화소들도 분포하였다. 향후 연구에서는 한반도 전역의 MODIS 시계열 반사율영상을 대상으로 MODIS 대기보정알고리즘과 입력인자의 적합성을 판단하기 위한 연구를 진행할 예정이다.

Conventional methods of automatically recording Go game positions do not properly consider obstacles (hand or object) on a Go board during the Go game. If the Go board is blocked by obstacles, the position of a Go stone may not be correctly recognized, or the sequences of moves may be stored differently from the actual one. In the proposed algorithm, only the complete Go board image without obstacles is stored as a background image and the obstacle is recognized by comparing the background image with the current input image. To eliminate the phenomenon that the shadow is mistaken as obstacles, this paper proposes the new obstacle detection method based on the gradient image instead of the simple differential image. When there is no obstacle on the Go board, the background image is updated. Finally, the successive background images are compared to recognize the position and type of the Go stone. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has more than 95% recognition rate in general illumination environment.

In this paper, we propose a block-based real-time people counting system that can be used in various environments including showing mall entrances, elevators and escalators. The main contributions of this paper are robust background subtraction, the block-based decision method and real-time processing. For robust background subtraction obtained from a number of image sequences, we used a mixture of K Gaussian. The block-based decision method was used to determine the size of the given objects (moving people) in each block. We divided the images into $6{\times}12$ blocks and trained the mean and variance values of the specific objects in each block. This was done in order to provide real-time processing for up to 4 channels. Finally, we analyzed various actions that can occur with moving people in real world environments.

Detection of moving objects is a fundamental task in most of the computer vision applications, such as video surveillance, activity recognition and human motion analysis. This is a difficult task due to many challenges in realistic scenarios which include irregular motion in background, illumination changes, objects cast shadows, changes in scene geometry and noise, etc. In this paper, we propose an foreground extraction algorithm based on codebook, a database of information about background pixel obtained from input image sequence. Initially, we suppose a first frame as a background image and calculate difference between next input image and it to detect moving objects. The resulting difference image may contain noises as well as pure moving objects. Second, we investigate a codebook with color and brightness of a foreground pixel in the difference image. If it is matched, it is decided as a fault detected pixel and deleted from foreground. Finally, a background image is updated to process next input frame iteratively. Some pixels are estimated by input image if they are detected as background pixels. The others are duplicated from the previous background image. We apply out algorithm to PETS2009 data and compare the results with those of GMM and standard codebook algorithms.

본 논문에서는 차량 영역의 추출을 이용한 효율적인 교통 혼잡도 측정 시스템을 설계하고 구현한다. 차량 영역 정보의 추출은 첫째 영역 분할, 둘째 작은 영역의 제거와 영역의 직사각형화, 셋째 영역의 병합 및 삭제의 단계로 나눌 수 있다. 영역 분할 단계에서는 획득한 도로 영상을 영역 기반 영역 분할에 의해 영역으로 분할한다. 그 다음 영역 분할 후의 영역 정보 중 차량 영역을 추출하는데 영향을 미치지 않는 작은 영역들을 제거하고, 남은 영역들을 직사각형화한다. 마지막으로 차선 별로 남은 영역들을 병합, 삭제함으로써 각 차선마다 차량 영역 정보를 추출할 수 있다. 이러한 방법은 배경 영상과 같은 부가적인 정보를 사용하지 않고 도로 자체 영상만으로 교통 혼잡도를 측정할 수 있으며, 그림자의 영향이 없을 경우 적용할 수 있는 기법이다.Abstract In this paper, we designed and implemented an efficient road congestion analysis system using regional information. To extract vehicle regions from a road image, the system process the image in five steps: segmentation, small region elimination, region rectangularization, region merging and region deletion. First, we segment road image by a threshold value. Then, we eliminate useless small regions to extract vehicle region, and perform region rectangularization. Finally, we extract vehicle region of each lane of the road by region merging and deletion. This method has the advantage of measuring road congestion without additional information such as background images. But this method must be applied to road images without shadow.

Landsat satellite images have been increasingly used for disaster damage analysis and disaster monitoring because they can be used for periodic and broad observation of disaster damage area. However, periodic disaster monitoring has limitation because of areas having missing data due to clouds as a characteristic of optical satellite images. Therefore, a study needs to be conducted for restoration of missing areas. This study detected and removed clouds and cloud shadows by using the quality assessment (QA) band provided when acquiring Landsat-8 images, and performed image restoration of removed areas through a spatial and temporal adaptive reflectance fusion (STARFM) algorithm. The restored image by the proposed method is compared with the restored image by conventional image restoration method throught MLC method. As a results, the restoration method by STARFM showed an overall accuracy of 89.40%, and it is confirmed that the restoration method is more efficient than the conventional image restoration method. Therefore, the results of this study are expected to increase the utilization of disaster analysis using Landsat satellite images.
