Various placards are attached to the surface of a container depending on the risk of the cargo loaded. Containers with dangerous goods should be managed separately from ordinary containers. Therefore, as part of the port automation system, there is a demand for automatic recognition of placards. In this paper, proposed is a system that automatically extracts the placard area based on the shape features of the placard and recognizes the contents in it. Various distortions can be caused by the surface curvature of the container, therefore, attention should be paid to the area extraction and recognition process. The proposed system can automatically extract the region of interest and recognize the placard using the feature that the placard is diamond shaped and the class number is written just above the lower vertex. When the proposed system is applied to real images, the placard can be recognized without error, and the used techniques can be applied to various image analysis systems.

This paper proposes a new algorithm for finding the vertex location of triangle and rectangle. The algorithm accumulates the number of occurrences of chain codes which range from 0 to 7 and computes the location of vertices using the accumulated value. Hardware and software system were constructed using IBM-PC/AT and VAX-11/780 for the experiment.

This study identified the problems of teaching quadratic functions using a translation and a vertex form by completing squares of which method make teaching contents not to be interconnected and tend to interfere students' conceptual understanding. This seems to generated from which the current mathematics curriculum is not organized to deliver the related contents of quadratic functions from polynomial expressions students have already known. To resolve it this study investigates the properties of quadratic functions from a polynomial perspective and discusses classroom implications with a couple of concrete applications.

얼굴 및 얼굴표정 연구의 기초 자료를 제공하고 실제 표정을 디자인하는 작업의 지침으로 사용되도록 하기 위하여 대규모의 표정 DB를 구축하였다. 이 DB 내에는 여러 가지 방법으로 수집된 배우 24명의 자연스럽고 다양한 표정 영상자료 약 1,500장이 저장되어 있다. 수집된 표정자료 각각에 대하여 내적상태의 범주모형과 차원모형을 모두 고려하여 다수의 사람들이 반응한 내적상태 평정 정보를 포함하도록 하였으며 사진별로 평정의 일치율을 기록함으로써 자료 이용에 참고할 수 있도록 하였다. 표정인식 및 합성 시스템에 사용될 수 있도록 각 표정자료들을 한국인 표준형 상모형에 정합하였을 때 측정된 MPEG-4 FAP 기준 39개 꼭지점들(vertices)의 좌표값들 및 표정추출의 맥락정보를 저장하였다. 실제 DB를 사용할 사람들이 가진 한정된 정보로써 전체 DB의 영상자료들을 용이하게 검색할 수 있도록 사용자 인터페이스를 개발하였다.

The objective of this paper is to develop the motion recognition method for the rehabilitation program of the people with physical disabilities. Using the infrared ray LED, this method gets the information of the user's motion and tells the difference between the information we get and the pre-defined information. In order to get the fast recognition and comparison, this method positions the specific coordinates of infrared ray LED in the pre-classified sector which keeps certain distance and angle from the point of origin. The result in our experiment shows the speed over 20 frames per second in every motion, and we are satisfied the rate for the recognition of the motions which is near 98%.

A measurement method is proposed which finds 3-D position and attitude of a known polyhedra utilizing shading information. Through the systematic interpretation of relations between polyhedra and its image as well as shadow image and also the determination of candidate position, 3-D information with respect to vertex of polyhedra is extracted. Following preprocessing of this information, the image of polyhedra is represented in terms of the scene with positioned object and the correspondence is searched by means of matching process between a scene description of the object and the correspondence is searched by means of matching process between a scene description of the object and a model description stored in data-base. In the experiments, initially 3-D information is employed to select several model regions, and objects are recognized through matching process with respect to scene regions. The results demonstrate that the recognition system performs with a high efficiency by proper selection of the threshold values.

This paper describes an idea for determining self-localization using visual landmark. The critical geometric dimensions of a pentagon are used here to locate the relative position of the mobile robot with respect to the pattern. This method has the advantages of simplicity and flexibility. This pentagon is also provided nth a unique identification, using invariant features and colors that enable the system to find the absolute location of the patterns. This algorithm determines both the correspondence between observed landmarks and a stored sequence, computes the absolute location of the observer using those correspondences, and calculates relative position from a pentagon using its (ive vortices. The algorithm has been implemented and tested. In several trials it computes location accurate to within 5 centimeters in less than 0.3 second.

SIFT is an algorithm to extract vectors at pixels around keypoints, in which the pixel colors are very different from neighbors, such as vertices and edges of an object. The SIFT algorithm is being actively researched for various image processing applications including 3D image reconstructions and intelligent vision system for robots. In this paper, we implement a hardware to sift feature detection algorithm for real time processing in embedded systems. We estimate that the hardware implementation give a performance 25ms of $1,280{\times}960$ image and 5ms of $640{\times}480$ image at 100MHz. And the implemented hardware consumes 45,792 LUTs(85%) with Synplify 8.li synthesis tool.

In this study, we developed a new algorithm which can construct model buildings used as a surface boundary in numerical models using GIS with latitudinal and longitudinal information of building vertices. The algorithm established the outer boundary of a building first, by finding segments passing neighboring two vertices of the building and connecting the segments. Then, the algorithm determined the region inside the outer boundary as the building. The new algorithm overcame the limit that the algorithm developed in the previous study had in constructing concave buildings. In addition, the new algorithm successfully constructed a building with complicated shape. To investigate effects of the modification in building shape caused by the building-construction algorithm on flows and pollutant dispersion around buildings, a computational fluid dynamics model was used and three kinds of building type were considered. In the downwind region, patterns in flow and pollutant dispersion were little affected by the modification in building shape caused. However, because of reduction in air space resulted from the building-shape modification, vortex structure was not resolved or smaller vortex was resolved near the buildings. The changes in flow pattern affected dispersion patterns of scalar pollutants emitted around the buildings.

In computer vision, it is very important to obtain reliable corresponding feature points. However, we know it is not easy to find the corresponding feature points exactly considering by scaling, lighting, viewpoints, etc. Lots of SIFT methods applies the invariant to image scale and rotation and change in illumination, which is due to the feature vector extracted from corners or edges of object. However, SIFT could not find feature points, if edges do not exist in the area when we extract feature points along edges. In this paper, we present a new placement method of marker to improve the performance of SIFT feature detection and matching between different view of an object or scene. The shape of the markers used in the proposed method is formed in a semicircle to detect dominant direction vector by SIFT algorithm depending on direction placement of marker. We applied De Bruijn sequence for the markers direction placement to improve the matching performance. The experimental results show that the proposed method is more accurate and effective comparing to the current method.
