With the recent trend of intelligence and automation of construction work, a double-blade road cutter is being developed that automatically enables cutting along the cutting line marked on the road using a vision system. The road cutter can recognize the cutting line through the camera and correct the driving route in real-time, and it detects the load of the cutting blade in real-time to control the driving speed in case of overload to protect workers and cutting blades. In this study, a vision system mounted on a double-blade road cutter was developed. A cutting route recognition technology was developed to stably recognize cutting lines displayed on non-uniform road surfaces, and performance was verified in similar environments. In addition, a vision sensor protection module was developed to prevent foreign substances (dust, water, etc.) generated during cutting from being attached to the camera.

A GNSS/INS integration system can not provide navigation solutions if there are no available satellites. To overcome this problem, a vision sensor is integrated with this system. Since generally a vision aided integration system uses only feature point to compute navigation solutions, it has a problem in observability. In this case, additional landmarks, which is priory known points, can improve the observability. In this paper, the observability is evaluated using TOM/SOM matrix and Eigenvalues. There are always the observability problems in the feature-point-only case, but the landmark-use case is fully observable after the $2^{nd}$ update time. Consequently the landmarks ensure full observability, so the system performance can be improved.

The requirement of rehabilitation is increasing from the stroke, spinal cord injury. One of the most difficult part is the upper limb rehabilitation because of its nervous complexity. A rehabilitation has effectiveness when a professional therapist treats in work at facility, but it has problems of an accessibility, a constant availability, a self-participation and taking lots of cost and time. In this paper, we test and experiment the accuracy and execution time of the pattern recognition algorithms like PCA, ICA, LDA, SVM to show the recognition possibility of it on the upper limb function from the 3D trajectory information which is gathered from stereo vision sensor(Kinect). From the result, PCA, ICA have low accuracy, but LDA, SVM have good accuracy to use for physical rehabilitation on the upper limb function.

Due to recent improvements in computer processing speed and image processing technology, researches are being actively carried out to combine information from camera with existing GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and dead reckoning. In this study, developed a vision-based positioning assistant algorithm to estimate the distance to the object from stereo images. In addition, GNSS/on-board vehicle sensor/vision based positioning algorithm is developed by combining vision based positioning algorithm with existing positioning algorithm. For the performance analysis, the velocity calculated from the actual driving test was used for the navigation solution correction, simulation tests were performed to analyse the effects of velocity precision. As a result of analysis, it is confirmed that about 4% of position accuracy is improved when vision information is added compared to existing GNSS/on-board based positioning algorithm.

In this paper, we propose an autonomous driving system using an end-to-end model to improve lane departure and misrecognition of traffic lights in a vision sensor-based system. End-to-end learning can be extended to a variety of environmental conditions. Driving data is collected using a model car based on a vision sensor. Using the collected data, it is composed of existing data and data with outlayers removed. A class was formed with camera image data as input data and speed and steering data as output data, and data learning was performed using an end-to-end model. The reliability of the trained model was verified. Apply the learned end-to-end model to the model car to predict the steering angle with image data. As a result of the learning of the model car, it can be seen that the model with the outlayer removed is improved than the existing model.

With the development of computer vision technology, video sensors such as CCTV are detecting incident. However, most of the current incident have been detected based on existing fixed imaging equipment. Accordingly, there has been a limit to the detection of incident in shaded areas where the image range of fixed equipment is not reached. With the recent development of edge-computing technology, real-time analysis of mobile image information has become possible. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possibility of detecting expressway emergencies by introducing computer vision technology to dash cam. To this end, annotation data was constructed based on 4,388 dash cam still frame data collected by the Korea Expressway Corporation and analyzed using the YOLO algorithm. As a result of the analysis, the prediction accuracy of all objects was over 70%, and the precision of traffic accidents was about 85%. In addition, in the case of mAP(mean Average Precision), it was 0.769, and when looking at AP(Average Precision) for each object, traffic accidents were the highest at 0.904, and debris were the lowest at 0.629.

This paper proposes a hand-posture recognition method using reinforcement learning for the performance improvement of vision-based hand-posture recognition. The difficulties in vision-based hand-posture recognition lie in viewing direction dependency and self-occlusion problem due to the high degree-of-freedom of human hand. General approaches to deal with these problems include multiple camera approach and methods of limiting the relative angle between cameras and the user's hand. In the case of using multiple cameras, however, fusion techniques to induce the final decision should be considered. Limiting the angle of user's hand restricts the user's freedom. The proposed method combines angular features and appearance features to describe hand-postures by a two-layered data structure and reinforcement learning. The validity of the proposed method is evaluated by appling it to the hand-posture recognition system using three cameras.

This paper provides an overview of recent trends in sensor fusion technologies for vehicle positioning. The GNSS by itself cannot satisfy precision and reliability required by autonomous driving. We survey sensor fusion techniques that combine the outputs from the GNSS and the inertial navigation sensors such as an odometer and a gyroscope. Moreover, we overview landmark-based positioning that matches landmarks detected by a lidar or a stereo vision to high-precision digital maps.

무인 자율 자동차는 사람이 차량 제어에 개입할 수 있는 일반적인 '무인 자동차'와는 달리 센서, 메라와 같은 '장애물 인식장치'와 GPS모듈 과 같은 '자동 항법 장치'를 기반으로 조향, 변속, 가속, 브레이크를 도로환경에 맞춰 스스로 제어해 목적지까지 주행할 수 있는 차량을 의미한다. 따라서 무인 자율 주행 자동차에는 차량제어기술, 차선인식기술, 충돌 회피 기술 등이 필요 하며 이를 위해 각종 센서뿐만 아니라 센서 네트워크, 컴퓨터비전, 인공지능 등의 다양한 기술들이 접목되어야 한다. 본 논문은 소형 무인자동차의 제작을 통한 알고리즘과 그 평가에 대해서 나타낼 것이다.
