This article is concerned with container pose estimation using CCD a camera and a range sensor. In particular, the issues of characteristic point extraction and image noise reduction are described. The Euler-Lagrange equation for gaussian and random noise reduction is introduced. The alternating direction implicit(ADI) method for solving Euler-Lagrange equation based on partial differential equation(PDE) is applied. The vertex points as characteristic points of a container and a spreader are founded using k order curvature calculation algorithm since the golden and the bisection section algorithm can't solve the local minimum and maximum problems. The proposed algorithm in image preprocess is effective in image denoise. Furthermore, this proposed system using a camera and a range sensor is very low price since the previous system can be used without reconstruction.

In this paper, we propose a real-time algorithm for estimating the relative position and velocity of a person with respect to a robot using a Kinect sensor and an extended Kalman filter (EKF). Additionally, we propose an algorithm for controlling the robot in the proximity of a person in a variety of modes. The algorithm detects the head and shoulder regions of the person using a histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) and a support vector machine (SVM). The EKF algorithm estimates the relative positions and velocities of the person with respect to the robot using data acquired by a Kinect sensor. We tested the various modes of proximity movement for a human in indoor situations. The accuracy of the algorithm was verified using a motion capture system.

Due to growth of electronics and control devices, automation and situational awareness systems have been applied by automobile. Vision systems with the introduction of unmanned system being actively developed, but are still high price and visual information is passed through the cable, because of cars are difficult to install. In this paper, can be installed inside the car at low-cost, simple image processing device through a wireless communication know the obstacles and the alarm system based on Zigbee wireless communication, infrared and ultrasonic sensors to monitor the situation through with easy parking cars outside the system design was implemented.

The death rate of pedestrian in car accidents in Korea is 2.5 times higher than the average of OECD countries'. If a system that can detect pedestrians and send alarm to drivers is built and reduces the rate, it is worth developing such a pedestrian detection system (PDS). Since the accident rate in which pedestrians are involved is higher at nighttime than in daytime, the adoption of nighttime PDS is being standardized by big auto companies. However, they are usually using night visions or multiple sensors, which are usually expensive. In this paper we suggest a method for nighttime PDS using single wide dynamic range (WDR) monochrome camera in visible spectrum band. In our experiments, pedestrians were accurately detected if only most edges of pedestrians could be obtained.

최근 컴퓨터비젼 분야에서 이벤트 검출 및 인식이 활발히 연구되고 있으며, 도전적인 주제들 중 하나이다. 이벤트 검출 기술들은 많은 감시시스템들에서 유용하고 효율적인 응용 분야이다. 본 논문에서는 사무실 환경에서 발생할 수 있는 이벤트의 검출 및 인식을 위한 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서의 이벤트는 입장( entering), 퇴장(exiting), 착석(sitting-down), 기립(standing-up)으로 구성된다. 제안된 방법은 하드웨어적인 센서를 사용하지 않고, MHI(Motion History Image) 시퀀스(sequence)를 이용한 인간의 모션 분석을 통해 이벤트를 검출할 수 있는 방법이며, 사람의 체형과 착용한 옷의 종류와 색상, 그라고 카메라로부터의 위치관계에 불변한 특성을 가진다. 에지검출 기술을 HMI 시퀀스정보와 결합하여 사람 모션의 기하학적 특징을 추출한 후, 이 정보를 이벤트 인식의 기본 특징으로 사용한다. 제안된 방법은 단순한 이벤트 검출 프레임웍을 사용하기 때문에 검출하고자 하는 이벤트의 설명만을 첨가하는 것으로 확장이 가능하다. 또한, 제안된 방법은 컴퓨터비견 기술에 기반한 많은 감시시스템에 적용이 가능하다.

전세계적으로 운전자의 주행시 차선변경이나 정지시 돌발적으로 지나가는 옆차선의 차량을 감시함으로서 교통사고발생율을 대폭 감소시킬 수 있기 때문에 많은 시스템들이 개발되고 있다. 그러나 대부분 비젼시스템과 연결되는 고정형 타입으로서 운전자의 시각을 지원해 주는 경우가 많았다. 본 연구에서는 회전형으로 제작되어 사용자가 원하는 대로 감시영역을 축소시키거나 확대시킬 수 있는 방식으로서 사각지대 감지를 위한 서보모터의 회전속도/각도와 초음파센서의 측정거리 및 LED의 ON-OFF 등 각종 파라미터를 조절함으로서 최적의 사양을 선정하였고 시험을 통해 그 타당성을 증명하였다.

In this paper we propose and realize the large scale multimedia security system that one janitor control many rooms in many building on multimedia. We Study the system that one watch janitor lots of rooms and lots of buildings the same time, and store the trespasser's moving cource in Database for understanding his action pattern using computer vision technology, but the relational system cannot solve the problem that the trespasser disjoint the security system on sensing method and the system watch only one room or one building.

This paper presents 3D position estimation algorithm with the images of 2D vision sensors which issues Red Laser Slit light and recieves the line images. Since the sensor usually measures 2D position of corner(or edge) of a body and the measured point is not fixed in the body, the additional information of the corner(or edge) is used. That is, corner(or edge) line is straight and fixed in the body. For the body which moves in a plane, the Transformation matrix between the body coordinate and the reference coordinate is analytically found. For the 3D motion body, linearization technique and least mean squares method are used.
