증강현실(Augmented Reality, AR)은 물리적 현실세계에 가상의 세계를 중첩하여 부가적인 정보나 서비스를 제공하는 것으로 대부분 스마트폰과 같이 카메라를 장착한 기기를 이용하게 된다. 스마트폰의 카메라가 마커를 인식할 경우 가상의 오브젝트가 화면에 중첩하여 보이게 되는 것이다. 카메라가 인식하는 마커를 하나 이상 사용할 수 있다. 다중 마커를 사용하는 경우 마커를 인식할 때 중첩되는 가상의 오브젝트를 동일한 것으로 사용할 수도 있고 각 마커별로 다른 가상 오브젝트를 사용할 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 전시되어 있는 작품을 마커로 등록하여 각 이미지별로 작품의 정보가 중첩되어 나타나도록 유니티의 AR 파운데이션 프레임워크를 이용하여 구현한다. 여러 작품이 전시되므로 이를 다중 마커로 사용하고 각 작품별 정보가 각기 다르게 출력되도록 구현한다.

본 논문에서는 복잡 배경으로부터 임의의 다중물체를 효과적으로 검출함과 동시에 고속 분할할 수 있는 문맥자유 마커제어 분수계 변환 (context-free marker controlled watershed transform)을 제안하였다. 먼저 잡음에 강건한 주목 연산자 (attention operator)를 써서 복잡 배경 속의 여러 물체 별로 그 위치를 검출하여 문맥자유 마커를 추출하고, 이를 마커로 한정된 레이블링 (marker constrained labeling)을 하여 최소값 부과과정이 필요 없는 문맥자유 마커제어 분수계 변환을 제안함으로써 과분할없이 신속하게 분할할 수 있도록 하였다. 다중 물체가 포함된 복잡 영상에 적용 실험하여, 대상 물체에 대한 사전정보 없이도 과분할과 처리시간을 대폭 줄여 효과적으로 다중 물체를 검출함과 동시에 고속 분할이 가능함을 확인 할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 특정 마커를 사용하는 실감형 증강현실 시스템 상에서 카메라가 비정형적인 움직임을 하는 경우에 대하여, 다중 마커를 사용한 떨림 현상을 줄인 실시간 움직임 추적 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 카메라의 움직임을 추정하기 위하여 카메라와 마커 사이의 변환을 계산해야 한다. 이미지로부터 검출된 각 마커의 네 모서리 점들을 이용하여, 각 마커에 대한 변환을 계산한다. 마커는 서로 다른 로컬 좌표계를 가지고 있고, 마커에 대한 변환은 해당 마커의 좌표계에 의해 정의된다. 다중 마커의 로컬 좌표계로부터 최적의 카메라 움직임을 추정하기 위한 정합 알고리즘을 제안한다. 정합을 위한 방법으로 레퍼런스 마커를 사용한다. 레퍼런스 마커는 정합 과정에서 자동적으로 선택된다. 레퍼런스 마커를 기준으로 각 마커의 변환에 대해 신뢰성(confidence rate)을 기반으로 가중치를 적용함으로써 최적의 카메라 움직임을 추정할 수 있다. 또한 추정된 카메라의 움직임의 최적화를 위하여 히스토리 버퍼를 사용하여 떨림 현상을 제거하는 방법을 제안한다. 추정된 카메라의 위치에 대한 평균 필터 및 중간 필터의 개념과 유사한 보정 방법을 통해 떨림 현상을 제거한다. 실험을 통해 다른 방법들과 비교한 우리가 제안한 방법의 정확성을 확인할 수 있다.

In this paper, we present a marker detection and recognition method from camera image for a disabled person to interact with a server system which can control appliance of surrounding environment. It converts the camera image to a binary image by using multi-threshold and extracts contours of objects in the binary image. After that, it approximates the contours to a list of line segments. It finds rectangular markers by using geometrical features which are extracted from the approximated line segments. It normalizes the shape of extracted markers into exact squares by using the warping technique. It extracts feature vectors from marker image by using principal component analysis and then recognizes the marker. The proposed marker recognition system is robust for light change by using multi-threshold. Also, it is robust for angular variation of camera by using warping technique and principal component analysis. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves 100% recognition rate at maximum for 21 markers and execution speed of 12 frames/sec.

AR contents, if markers to be tracked move fast, show flickering while updating images captured from cameras. Conventional methods employing image based markers and SLAM algorithms for tracking objects have the problem that they do not allow more than 2 objects to be tracked simultaneously and interacted with each other in the same camera scene. In this paper, an improved SLAM type algorithm for tracking dynamic objects is proposed and investigated to solve the problem described above. To this end, method using 2 virtual cameras for one physical camera is adopted, which makes the tracked 2 objects interacted with each other. This becomes possible because 2 objects are perceived separately by single physical camera. Mobile robots used as dynamic objects are synchronized with virtual robots in the well-designed contents, proving usefulness of applying the result of individual tracking for multiple moving objects to augmented visualization of objects.

In this paper, the multi-camera calibration algorithm for optical motion capture system is proposed. This algorithm performs 1st camera calibration using DLT(Direct linear transformation} method and 3-axis calibration frame with 7 optical markers. And 2nd calibration is performed by waving with a wand of known length(so called wand dance} throughout desired calibration volume. In the 1st camera calibration, it is obtained not only camera parameter but also radial lens distortion parameters. These parameters are used initial solution for optimization in the 2nd camera calibration. In the 2nd camera calibration, the optimization is performed. The objective function is to minimize the difference of distance between real markers and reconstructed markers. For verification of the proposed algorithm, re-projection errors are calculated and the distance among markers in the 3-axis frame and in the wand calculated. And then it compares the proposed algorithm with commercial motion capture system. In the 3D reconstruction error of 3-axis frame, average error presents 1.7042mm(commercial system) and 0.8765mm(proposed algorithm). Average error reduces to 51.4 percent in commercial system. In the distance between markers in the wand, the average error shows 1.8897mm in the commercial system and 2.0183mm in the proposed algorithm.

A high speed context-free marker-controlled and minima imposition-free watershed transform is proposed for efficient multi-object detection and segmentation from a complex background. The context-free markers are extracted from a complex backgrounded multi-object image using a noise tolerant attention operator. These make marker-controlled watershed possible for the over-segmentation reduction without region merging. The proposed method presents a marker-constrained labeling that can speed up the segmentation of a marker-controlled watershed transform by eliminating the necessity of the minima imposition. Simulation results show that the proposed method can efficiently detects and segments multiple objects from a complex background while reducing over- segmentation and the computation time.

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are optical probes with excellent fluorescence properties. Therefore, they have been applied to various bio-medical imaging techniques and biosensors. Due to the unique optical characteristics of wide absorption and narrow fluorescence energy bands, multiple types of signals can be generated by the combination of fluorescence wavelengths from different QDs, which enables the simultaneous detection of more than two biomarkers. In this review, the advantages and applications of QDs and QD nanobeads (QBs) in multiple biomarker assays were described, and new developments or improvements in multiplexed biomarker detection techniques were summarized. In particular, recent reports were summarized, focusing on the design strategies in immunoassay construction and signal transducing materials for fluorescence-linked immunosorbent assays using QDs and immunochromatographic assays using QBs. New detection platforms will be developed for early diagnosis of diseases and other fields if multiplexed detection technologies of excellent accuracy and sensitivity are combined with artificial intelligence algorithms.

To analyze the genetic relationships among Korean potato cultivars and to develop cultivar identification method using DNA markers, we carried out genotyping using simple sequence repeats (SSR) analysis and developed multiplex-SSR set. Initially, we designed 92 SSR primer combinations reported previously and applied them to twenty four Korean potato cultivars. Among the 92 SSR markers, we selected 14 SSR markers based on polymorphism information contents (PIC) values. PIC values of the selected 14 markers ranged from 0.48 to 0.89 with an average of 0.76. PIC value of PSSR-29 was the lowest with 0.48 and PSSR-191 was the highest with 0.89. UPGMA clustering analysis based on genetic distances using 14 SSR markers classified 21 potato cultivars into 2 clusters. Cluster I and II included 16 and 5 cultivars, respectively. And 3 cultivars were not classified into major cluster group I and II. These 14 SSR markers generated a total of 121 alleles and the average number of alleles per SSR marker was 10.8 with a range from 3 to 34. Among the selected markers, we combined three SSR markers, PSSR-17, PSSR-24 and PSSR-24, as a multiplex-SSR set. This multiplex-SSR set used in the study can distinguish all the cultivars with one time PCR and PAGE (Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) analysis and PIC value of multiplex-SSR set was 0.95.
