In this paper, we propose the localization method of mobile robot using SURF(Speeded-Up Robust Features) and Particle filter. The proposed method is as follows: First, we seek the Landmark from the obtained image using SURF in order to find the first rigorous position of mobile robot. Second, we obtain the distance from obstacles using ultrasonic sensors in order to create the relative position of mobile robot. And then, we estimate the localization of mobile robot using Particle filter about movement of mobile robot. Finally, we show the feasibility of the proposed method through some experiments.

In this paper, we propose the system which detects the speaker, who is speaking currently, among a number of users. A proposed speaker detection system based on stereo vision and audio is mainly composed of the followings: a position estimation of speaker candidates using stereo camara and microphone, a current speaker detection, and a speaker information acquisition based on a mobile device. We use the haar-like features and the adaboost algorithm to detect the faces of speaker candidates with stereo camera, and the position of speaker candidates is estimated by a triangulation method. Next, the Time Delay Of Arrival (TDOA) is estimated by the Cross Power Spectrum Phase (CPSP) analysis to find the direction of source with two microphone. Finally we acquire the information of the speaker including his position, voice, and face by comparing the information of the stereo camera with that of two microphone. Furthermore, the proposed system includes a TCP client/server connection method for mobile service.

Due to advancements in construction technology and analytical tools, an increasing number of cable-stayed bridges have been designed and constructed in recent years. A cable is a structural element that primarily transmits the main load of a cable-stayed bridge and plays the most crucial role in reflecting the overall condition of the entire bridge system. In this study, a vision-based method was applied to estimate the tension of the stay cables located at a long distance. To measure the response of a cable using a vision-based method, it is necessary to install feature points or targets on the cable. However, depending on the location of the point to be measured, there may be no feature points in the cable, and there may also be limitations in installing the target on the cable. Hence, it is necessary to find a way to measure cable response that overcomes the limitations of existing vision-based methods. This study proposes a method for measuring cable responses by utilizing the characteristics of cable shape. The proposed method involved extracting the cable shape from the acquired image and determining the center of the extracted cable shape to measure the cable response. The extracted natural frequencies of the vibration mode were obtained using the measured responses, and the tension was estimated by applying them to the vibration method. To verify the reliability of the vision-based method, cable images were obtained from the Hwatae Bridge in service under ambient vibration conditions. The reliability of the method proposed in this study was confirmed by applying it to the vibration method using a vision-based approach, resulting in estimated tensions with an error of less than 1% compared to tensions estimated using an accelerometer.

블랙 스크린은 비디오 월 컨트롤러의 멀티스크린에 정상적인 영상이 아닌 블랙 스크린이 표출되는 현상이다. 비디오 월 컨트롤러에서 블랙 스크린이 발생하는 빈도는 높지 않지만, 운용 중에 발생하게 되면 모니터링 업무를 수행할 수 없게 되므로 치명적인 오류라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 블랙 스크린을 감지하기 위한 시스템이 개발되고 있지만, 거짓 양성의 비율이 높고 블랙 스크린이 발생한 위치를 추정하지 못하는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 R-CNN을 이용하여 감지 성능을 향상시키고 블랙 스크린이 발생한 위치를 추정하는 모델을 제안한다.

This paper proposes an indoor location positioning system for the image recognition based LBS. The proposed system is a vision-based location positioning system that is implemented the augmented reality by overlaying the location results with the view of the user. For implementing, the proposed system uses the pattern matching and location model to recognize user location from images taken by a wearable mobile PC with camera. In the proposed system, the system uses the pattern matching and location model for recognizing a personal location in image sequences. The system is estimated user location by the image sequence matching and marker detection methods, and is recognized user location by using the pre-defined location model. To detect marker in image sequences, the proposed system apply to the adaptive thresholding method, and by using the location model to recognize a location, the system can be obtained more accurate and efficient results. Experimental results show that the proposed system has both quality and performance to be used as an indoor location-based services(LBS) for visitors in various environments.

A key component of an autonomous mobile robot is to localize itself and build a map of the environment simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a vision-based localization and mapping algorithm of mobile robot using fisheye lens. To acquire high-level features with scale invariance, a camera with fisheye lens facing toward to ceiling is attached to the robot. These features are used in mP building and localization. As a preprocessing, input image from fisheye lens is calibrated to remove radial distortion and then labeling and convex hull techniques are used to segment ceiling and wall region for the calibrated image. At the initial map building process, features we calculated for each segmented region and stored in map database. Features are continuously calculated for sequential input images and matched to the map. n some features are not matched, those features are added to the map. This map matching and updating process is continued until map building process is finished, Localization is used in map building process and searching the location of the robot on the map. The calculated features at the position of the robot are matched to the existing map to estimate the real position of the robot, and map building database is updated at the same time. By the proposed method, the elapsed time for map building is within 2 minutes for 50㎡ region, the positioning accuracy is ±13cm and the error about the positioning angle of the robot is ±3 degree for localization.

영상 분석에서는 적절한 탐색 범위를 결정하는 것이 측정의 정확도에 큰 영향을 미친다. 탐색 범위는 흐름장의 상태에 따라 달라진다. 탐색 범위를 작게 잡을 경우 분석 시간이 절약되고 정확도를 높일 수 있으나, 지나치게 작게 되는 경우는 오히려 유속 분포 추정에 큰 오류를 범할 가능성이 있다. 반면에 탐색 범위를 크게 잡을 경우에는 유속 분포 추정에 큰 오류를 범할 가능성은 줄어들지만, 분석 시간이 길게 되며 전반적인 정확도는 낮아지게 된다. 따라서, 적절한 탐색 범위의 설정은 영상 분석의 정확도 향상에서 큰 관건이 된다. 실험실 수로의 경우 유속 분포에 대해 사전에 알고 있는 경우가 많으며, 유속이나 수위가 크게 변하지 않으므로, 적절한 탐색 범위의 선정이 어렵지 않다. 그러나, 현장 적용을 위한 고정식 표면영상유속계의 경우, 수위와 유량이 급변하고 또한 수위에 따른 유속 분포의 변화가 매우 심하므로 적절한 탐색 범위의 선정이 용이하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 고정된 탐색 범위를 설정하여 일차적으로 유속 분포를 추정하고, 여기서 얻은 유속 분포에 기반하여 탐색 영역을 보다 정밀하게 설정하고 재탐색을 하는 방법을 적용하였다. 이러한 유속 분포에 기반한 탐색 영역의 설정을 통하여 유속 분포 추정의 정확성을 크게 향상시킬 수 있다. 괴산댐 하류에 위치한 수전교에서 2008년 7월 $23{\sim}24$일 동안의 영상 자료를 이용한 추정 결과, 추정 유량의 오차를 절반 정도 줄여서 측정의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있었다.

Video-based modeling / rendering developed to produce photo-realistic video contents have been one of the important research topics in computer graphics and computer visions. To smoothly combine original input video clips and 3D graphic models, geometrical information of light sources and cameras used to capture a scene in the real world is essentially required. In this paper, we present a simple technique to estimate the position and orientation of an optimal light source from the topology of objects and the silhouettes of shadows appeared in the original video clips. The technique supports functions to generate well matched shadows as well as to render the inserted models by applying the estimated light sources. Shadows are known as an important visual cue that empirically indicates the relative location of objects in the 3D space. Thus our method can enhance realism in the final composed videos through the proposed shadow generation and rendering algorithms in real-time.
