본 논문은 고정된 카메라를 통해 들어오는 도로연상에서 추적되는 다중 차량들의 겹침(occlusion)발생시 칼만 필터와 차량의 특징정보를 이용하여 개별 차량을 분할하고 추적 가능한 시스템을 제안하고 구현하였다. 다중 차량을 추적할 시 가장 큰 문제점이 되고 있는 차량 겹침을 해결하기 위해 카메라와의 거리를 이용하여 해결하는 방법 3D 모델을 이용하여 해결하는 방법, 겹침 추론 등 차량 겹침을 해결하기 위한 여러 가지 방법들이 제시되고 있다. 그러나 영상에 연속적으로 나타나는 다중 차량의 겹침을 단일 차량으로 인식할 수 는 단점이 있다. 따라서 칼만 필터와 차량의 특징 정보로서 차량의 높이와 넓이의 비, 추적에 사용되는 박스에서 차량과 여백의 비를 이용함으로서 연속적으로 나타날 수 있는 차량 겹침을 분할하고 추적 가능하게 하는 시스템을 구현하고 실험하였다. 본 시스템에서는 256X 256의 크기로 15 frames/sec로 저장된 AVI 파일 형식의 동영상을 사용하여 실험에 이용하였으며, 시내 도로에서의 차량들의 실험 결과 기존의 방법 보다 차량 특징 정보를 이용한 방법이 연속적 겹침에 대한 처리에 우수함을 보였다.

In modem societies, a monitoring system is required to automatically detect and track persons from several cameras scattered in a wide area. Combining multiple cameras with non-overlapping views and a tracking technique, we propose a method that tracks automatically the target persons in one camera and transfers the tracking information to other networked cameras through a server. So the proposed method tracks thoroughly the target persons over the cameras. In this paper, we use a person model to detect and distinguish the corresponding person and to transfer the person's tracking information. A movement of the tracked persons is defined on FOV lines of the networked cameras. The tracked person has 6 statuses. The proposed system was experimented in several indoor scenario. We achieved 91.2% in an averaged tracking rate and 96% in an averaged status rate.

Growing efforts and interests of security techniques in a diverse surveillance environment, the intelligent surveillance system, which is capable of automatically detecting and tracking target objects in multi-cameras environment, is actively developing in a security community. In this paper, we propose an effective visual surveillance system that is avaliable to track objects continuously in multiple non-overlapped cameras. The proposed object tracking scheme consists of object tracking module and tracking management module, which are based on hand-off scheme and protocol. The object tracking module, runs on IP camera, provides object tracking information generation, object tracking information distribution and similarity comparison function. On the other hand, the tracking management module, runs on video control server, provides realtime object tracking reception, object tracking information retrieval and IP camera control functions. The proposed object tracking scheme allows comprehensive framework that can be used in a diverse range of application, because it doesn't rely on the particular surveillance system or object tracking techniques.

본 논문에서는 CCTV방식의 감시시스템과 사랑추적 기술을 결합한 사람추적 감시시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 기존 CCTV방식의 감시시스템의 제한점이었던 모니터링 감시방식에서 벗어나 여러 대의 카메라들이 서로 다른 지역을 감시함과 동시에 카메라에 나타난 사랑들을 여러 카메라에 걸쳐서 자동적으로 추적할 수 있는 감시시스템이다. 제안된 시스템은 고정된 다수의 비겹침 카메라와 JMF RTP API를 이용하여 서버와 클라이언트간에 미디어스트림의 네트워크 정보전달과 추적 대상의 특징정보를 전달하여 사람들을 추적한다. 계층적 사람모델을 이용하여 카메라 내에 인식된 사람을 추적하고 다른 카메라로 추적된 사람의 특징정보를 전달하여 지속적으로 추적대상을 검출, 인식함으로써, 넓은 지역에 산재된 여러 카메라들을 통해 추적대상을 끝까지 추적한다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 시스템을 이용하여 실내환경의 여는 지역에서 추적대상의 움직임을 다수의 카메라가 인식하고 감시하여 끝까지 추적하였음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose a moving object detection and tracking method for multi-view camera environment. Based on the similarity and characteristics of motion vectors and coding block modes extracted from compressed bitstreams, validation of moving blocks, labeling of the validated blocks, and merging of neighboring blobs are performed. To continuously track objects for temporary stop, crossing, and overlapping events, a window based object updating algorithm is proposed for single- and multi-view environments. Object detection and tracking could be performed with an acceptable level of performance without decoding of video bitstreams for normal, temporary stop, crossing, and overlapping cases. The rates of detection and tracking are over 89% and 84% in multi-view environment, respectively. The rates for multi-view environment are improved by 6% and 7% compared to those of single-view environment.

A CCTV system reduces some number of cameras if we use convex-mirror. In this case, convex-mirror Image distorted, we need transformation to flat images. In the center of mirror images, a transformed image has no distortion, but at near boundary image has plentiful distortion. This distortion is caused by occlusion of angled ray and diffraction. We know that the linear filtering approach cannot separate noise from signal where their Fourier spectra overlap. But using a non-linear discretization method, we shall reduce blurred noise. In this paper, we introduce the backward solution of nonlinear wave equation for reducing blurred noise and biased expansion of equilibrium contour. We propose, after applying the introduced method, and calculate with discretization method. To analysis the experimental result, we investigate to PSNR and get about 4dB better than current method.

볼록거울을 사용하여 CCTV시스템을 만들면 카메라 수를 줄이는 효과가 있다. 이 경우 볼록거울 영상은 휜 영상이므로 평면영상처럼 변환해야 한다. 이 경우에, 중앙에 비추인 영상은 평면 영상으로 변환 후에도 왜곡이 거의 없지만 거울의 테두리 부근에서 얻은 영상을 변환하면 왜곡이 심하게 나타나서 영상 내의 물체를 식별하기가 어려워진다. 렌즈의 초점이 거울의 중심부에 맞춰져 있기 때문에 변에 있는 영상은 픽셀들 사이에 겹침이 일어나기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 픽셀들 사이의 광학적 겹침을 극복하기 위해 확산 방정식의 후진대입 해를 사용하였다. 결과를 분석하기 위해 PSNR값을 조사하였더니 제안된 방법은 N. Moayeri의 방법보다 4 dB 정도 개선되었다.

In this paper, we propose a new approach for tracking each human in a surveillance camera network with various resolution cameras. When tracking human on multiple non-overlapping cameras, the traditional appearance features are easily affected by various camera viewing conditions. To overcome this limitation, the proposed system utilizes facial information along with appearance information. In general, human images captured by the surveillance camera are often low resolution, so it is necessary to be able to extract useful features even from low-resolution faces to facilitate tracking. In the proposed tracking scheme, texture-based face descriptor is exploited to extract features from detected face after face frontalization. In addition, when the size of the face captured by the surveillance camera is very small, a super-resolution technique that enlarges the face is also exploited. The experimental results on the public benchmark Dana36 dataset show promising performance of the proposed algorithm.

This paper proposes a method to track persons robustly in illumination changes and partial occlusions in color video frames acquired from a fixed camera. To solve a problem of changing appearance by illumination change, a time-independent intrinsic image is used to remove noises in an frame and is adaptively updated frame-by-frame. We use a hierarchical human model including body color information in order to track persons in occlusion. The tracked human model is recorded into a persons' list for some duration after the corresponding person's exit and is recovered from the list after her reentering. The proposed method was experimented in several indoor and outdoor scenario. This demonstrated the potential effectiveness of an adaptive model-base method that corrected distorted person's color information by lighting changes, and succeeded tracking of persons which was overlapped in a frame.

This paper presents experimental evaluation of an insect-mimicking flapping-wing device actuated by a unimorph piezoceramic actuator. Length of each rod and hinge point in the linkage/amplification system are carefully chosen such that the resulting wing motion can mimic clapping of wings in a real insect at the end of upstroke. In addition to this, a pair of corrugated wings are fabricated mimicking zig-zag cross section of a real insect wing. Thanks to the two additional implementation, the improved flapping wing device can generate a larger lift force than the previous model even though area of the new wing is about 50% less than that of the previous wing. In this work, effects of the wing clapping, the wing corrugation, and the input wave form on the lift force generation have been also experimentally investigated. Finally, the vortex generated by the flapping device has been captured by a high speed camera, showing that vortices are produced during up- and down-strokes.
