Occupancy sensors installed in buildings and households turn off the light if the space is vacant. Currently PIR (pyroelectric infra-red) motion sensors have been utilized. Recently, the researches using camera sensors have been carried out in order to overcome the demerit of PIR that can not detect static people. If the tradeoff of cost and performance is satisfied, the camera sensors are expected to replace the current PIRs. In this paper, we propose vision sensor-based occupancy detection being composed of tracking, recognition and detection. Our softeware is designed to meet the real-time processing. In experiments, 14.5fps is achieved at 15fps USB input. Also, the detection accuracy reached 82.0%.

SLAM(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) system is to find a global position and build a map with sensing data when an unmanned-robot navigates an unknown environment. Two kinds of system were developed. One is used distance measurement sensors such as an ultra sonic and a laser sensor. The other is used stereo vision system. The distance measurement SLAM with sensors has low computing time and low cost, but precision of system can be somewhat worse by measurement error or non-linearity of the sensor In contrast, stereo vision system can accurately measure the 3D space area, but it needs high-end system for complex calculation and it is an expensive tool. In this paper, we implement the SLAM system using a single camera image and a PSD sensors. It detects obstacles from the front PSD sensor and then perceive size and feature of the obstacles by image processing. The probability SLAM was implemented using the data of sensor and image and we verify the performance of the system by real experiment.

Lane departure avoidance system is one of the key technologies for the future active-safety passenger cars. The lane departure avoidance system is composed of two subsystems; lane sensing algorithm and active-steering controller. In this paper, the road image is obtained by vision sensor and the lane parameters are estimated using image processing and Kalman Filter technique. The active-steering controller is designed to prevent the lane departure. The developed active-steering controller can be realized by steer-by-wire actuator. The lane-sensing algorithm and active-steering controller are implemented into the steering HILS(Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation) and their performance is evaluated with a human driver in the loop.

A lane sensing algorithm using vision sensors is developed based on lane geometry models. The parameters of the lane geometry models are estimated by a Kalman filter and utilized to reconstruct the lane geometry in the global coordinate. The inverse perspective mapping from image plane to global coordinate assumes earth to be flat, but roll and pitch motions of a vehicle are considered from the perspective of the lane sensing. The proposed algorithm shows robust lane sensing performance compared to the conventional algorithms.

A CCD-camera, which is structured with vision system, was used to realize automatic seam-tracking system and 3-D information which is needed to generate torch path, was obtained by using laser-slip beam. To extract laser strip and obtain welding-specific point, Adaptive Hough-transformation was used. Although the basic Hough transformation takes too much time to process image on line, it has a tendency to be robust to the noises as like spatter. For that reson, it was complemented with Adaptive Hough transformation to have an on-line processing ability for scanning a welding-specific point. the dead zone,where the sensing of weld line is impossible, is eliminated by rotating the camera with its rotating axis centered at welding torch. The camera angle is controlled so as to get the minimum image data for the sensing of weld line, hence the image processing time is reduced. The fuzzy controller is adapted to control the camera angle.

본 연구에서는 백라이트 유닛의 검사를 위한 머신비전 시스템을 구축한다. 시스템은 크게 하드웨어와 소프트웨어로 나눌 수 있고 하드웨어는 조명부, 영상획득부, 로봇 암 제어부로 분류된다. 조명부는 36W FPL램프로 구성되었고 조명부의 상판에 아크릴판을 거치대로 이용하여 백라이트 유닛을 거치한다. 로봇 암 제어부는 2축 로봇 암을 제어하여 로봇 암의 센서부착 지지대에 부착된 CCD 센서를 이동시킨다. 이와 동시에 영상획득부에서는 이미지를 획득하여 PC로 전송한다. 소프트웨어의 화상처리 검사 알고리즘은 일정 패턴이 있는 도광판에 대한 검사 알고리즘과 일정패턴이 없근 백라이트 유닛에 대한 검사 알고리즘으로 분리된다. 일정 패턴이 인쇄되어 있는 패널에 대한 검사 알고리즘은 모폴로지 연산을 이용하는 템플릿 체크방법과 블록 매칭 방법이 사용되었고 일정패턴이 없는 유닛에 대한 검사는 개선된 Otsu 방법을 이용하여 얼룩이나 흐릿한 결함에 대한 결함을 검출하였다. 실험결과 불균일한 결함과 밝기가 일정하지 않은 결함일지라고 90% 이상의 검출율로 뛰어난 성능을 입증하였다.

Welding fabrication invariantly involves three district sequential steps: preparation, actual process execution and post-weld inspection. One of the major problems in automating these steps and developing autonomous welding system is the lack of proper sensing strategies. Conventionally, machine vision is used in robotic arc welding only for the correction of pre-taught welding paths in single pass. However, in this paper, multipass tracking more than single pass tracking is performed by conventional seam tracking algorithm and developed one. And tracking performances of two algorithm are compared in multipass tracking. As the result, tracking performance in multi-pass welding shows superior conventional seam tracking algorithm to developed one.

Conventionally, CCD camera and vision sensor using the projected pattern of light is generally used to inspect the weld bead defects. But with this method, a lot of time is needed for image preprocessing, stripe extraction and thinning, etc. In this study, laser vision sensor using the scanning beam of light is used to shorten the time required for image preprocessing. The software for deciding whether the weld bead is in proper shape or not in real time is developed. The criteria are based upon the classification of imperfections in metallic fusion welds(ISO 6520) and limits for imperfections(ISO 5817).

스마트팩토리의 핵심 설비 기기인 협동로봇의 유지보수를 위해 다양한 센서 데이터를 활용한 딥러닝 기반 결함 진단 연구가 확대되고 있다. 하지만 협동로봇은 기계적 특성과 수행하는 작업의 다양성으로 인해 내부 센서 데이터의 복잡도가 매우 높아 고정적인 결함 진단 기법을 적용하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문은 협동로봇의 동작 패턴을 직관적이고 신속하게 인지할 수 있는 비전 기술을 활용하여, 동작 오류 진단을 기반으로 원인이 되는 조인트 결함 위치를 추적하는 딥러닝 기법을 제안한다.
