A vision sensor measure range data using laser light source, This sensor generally use patterned laser which shaped single line. But this vision sensor cannot satisfy new trend which needs faster and more precise processing. The sensor's sampling rate increases as reduced image processing time. However, the sampling rate can not over 30fps, because a camera has mechanical sampling limit. If we use multi line laser pattern, we will measure multi range data in one image. In the case of using same sampling rate camera, number of 2D range data profile in one second is directly proportional to laser line's number. For example, the vision sensor using 5 laser lines can sample 150 profiles per second in best condition.

This paper deals with a tangible interface system that introduces robot as remote avatar. It is focused on a new method which makes a robot imitate human arm motions captured from a remote space. Our method is functionally divided into two parts: capturing human motion and adapting it to robot. In the capturing part, we especially propose a modified potential function of metaballs for the real-time performance and high accuracy. In the adapting part, we suggest a geometric scaling method for solving the structural difference between a human and a robot. With our method, we have implemented a tangible interface and showed its speed and accuracy test.

An optical method to measure the three-dimensional (3D) shape of a surface with specular reflection is proposed. The proposed method is based on the analysis of the geometric path of the light from a point source, and the relative displacements of points in the reflection image. The 3D shape of a concave mirror is shown to be determined approximately via experiments, where the vision system consists of LED array illumination, a half-mirror, and an imaging sensor.

This paper presents the sensor fusion algorithm that recognizes a primary vehicle by fusing radar and monocular vision data. In general, most of commercial radars may lose tracking of the primary vehicle, i.e., the closest preceding vehicle in the same lane, when it stops or goes with other preceding vehicles in the adjacent lane with similar velocity and range. In order to improve the performance degradation of radar, vehicle detection information from vision sensor and path prediction predicted by ego vehicle sensors will be combined for target classification. Then, the target classification will work with probabilistic association filters to track a primary vehicle. Finally the performance of the proposed sensor fusion algorithm is validated using field test data on highway.

In this paper, we presents a behavior planning for humanoid robots using behavior primitive in 3 dimensional workspace. Also, we define behavior primitives that humanoid robot accomplishes various tasks effectively. Humanoid robot obtains information of the outside environment and its inner information from various sensors in complex workspace with various obstacles. We verify our approach on a developed small humanoid robot using embedded vision and sensor system in a experimental environment. The experimental results show that the humanoid robot performs its tasks fast and effectively.

In recent years, owing to the development of the image processing technology, the research to build control system using a vision sensor is stimulated. However, the time delay must be considered, because it works of time to get the result of an image processing in the system. It can be seen as an obstacle factor to real-time control. In this paper, using the pattern matching technique, the location of two objects is recognized from one image which was acquired by a camera. And it is implemented to a position control system as feedback data. Also, a possibility was shown to overcome a problem of time delay using PID controller. A number of experiments were done to show the validity of this study.

Is this paper, a pedestrian inertial navigation system with vision is proposed. The navigation system using inertial sensors has problems that it is difficult to determine the initial position and the position error increases over time. To solve these problems, a vision system in addition to an inertial navigation system is used, where a camera is attached to a pedestrian. Landmarks are installed to known positions so that the position and orientation of a camera can be computed once a camera views the landmark. Using this position information, estimation errors in the inertial navigation system is compensated.

본 논문에서는 지능형 감시 시스템을 위한 3가지 이상행위 검출 방법을 제안한다. 단순히 직접 감시나 센서에 의존한 문제점 검출이 아닌 비전 기반 기술을 적용하여 특정지역 및 모든 감시구역에 대하여 객체의 이상 행동을 감지하는 방법들을 소개한다. 제안하는 이상행위의 분류는 배회, 도주, 특정 감시 지역 침입 3가지로 정의한다. 휘도 기반의 평균 배경 모델링 방법을 통하여 움직임 물체를 검출하고, 검출된 객체를 분석(위치, 크기, 방향, 속도) 및 정의한다. 이때 이상행위의 판단에 따라 정의된 시나리오 환경으로 구성하고 분석하였다. 제안하는 방법은 실험에 사용된 3가지 이상행위에 대해 1초 안에 검출되는 것을 보였다.

원격지의 로봇을 조작함에 있어, 원격지의 상황을 정확히 인식하는 것이 우선적으로 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 로봇에 설치된 스테레오 카메라를 통해 입력된 비디오를 네트워크를 통해 전달하고, 조작 공간에 있는 사용자가 Head Mounted Display(HMD) 기기를 통해 원격지의 상황을 현장감 있게 파악할 수 있는 비전 시스템을 구현했다. 로봇 내 S/W의 효과적인 통합을 위해 카메라 입력 처리 및 비디오 스트리밍은 Ubuntu의 ROS를 이용하여 구현됐으며, 조작 공간의 HMD 기기 및 관련 조작 센서 통합은 Windows 상에 구현하여, 실험을 통해 원격지의 상황을 25fps 수준의 HD 해상도 비디오로 확인할 수 있었다.
