The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of balance control in virtual moving surround stimulation using head mount display (HMD) device and force platform in patients with brain injury. Fifteen patients with stroke (mean age 54.47 yrs) and fifteen healthy normal persons participated. COP parameters were obtained total path distance, frequency of anterior-posterior and medial-lateral component by FFT analysis, weight-spectrum analysis in the two different conditions; (1) during comfortable standing with opened or closed eyes, (2) during virtual moving surround stimulation delivered using HMD with four different moving pattern. Moving patterns consisted of close-far, superior-inferior lilting (pitch) , right-left tilting (roll) and horizontal rotation (yaw) movement. In all parameters, the test-retest reliability was high. Also, the construct validity of virtual moving surround stimulation was excellent (p＜0.05). A posturographic balance assessment system equiped with virtual moving surround stimulation using HMD is considered clinically useful in evaluation of balance control in patients with brain injury.

To transmit MPEG-2 video on an errorneous channel, a number of error control techniques are needed. Especially, error concealment techniques which can be implemented on receivers independent of transmitters are essential to obtain good video quality. In this paper, prediction of motion vector and an adaptive boundary matching algorithm are presented for temporal error concealment. Before the complex BMA, we perform error concealment by a motion vector prediction using neighboring motion vectors. If the candidate of error concealment is not satisfied, search range and reliable boundary pixels are selected by the temporal activity or motion vectors and a damaged macroblock is concealed by applying an adaptive BMA. This error concealment technique reduces the complexity and maintains a PSNR gain of 0.3∼0.7㏈ compared to conventional BMA.

Recognizing finger movements have been used as a intuitive way of human-computer interaction. In this study, we implement an wearable device for finger motion recognition and evaluate the accuracy of several ML (Machine learning) techniques. Not only HMM (Hidden markov model) and DTW (Dynamic time warping) techniques that have been traditionally used as time series data analysis, but also NN (Neural network) technique are applied to compare and analyze the accuracy of each technique. In order to minimize the computational requirement, we also apply the pre-processing to each ML techniques. Our extensive evaluations demonstrate that the NN-based gesture recognition system achieves 99.1% recognition accuracy while the HMM and DTW achieve 96.6% and 95.9% recognition accuracy, respectively.

In this paper, we proposed a fuzzy controller for the evaluation of the quantization Parameters in the H.263 coder to optimize the subjective quality of each coded frame, keeping the transmission rate constant. We adopted the Mamdani method for fuzzification and the centroid method for defuzzification. The energy and entropy are correlated to features of the HVS in spatial domain, while motion vectors are used to estimate the temporal characteristics of the signal. And then, the fuzzy inputs adapted the variance and the entropy in spatial domain, and the motion vector in temporal domain. We induced the fuzzy membership function and decided the fuzzy relevance to be compatible in visual characteristics. And then, we designed FAM banks. The fuzzy technology has been applied to a practical video compression. This results is obtained an effective rate control technique, an optimum bit allocation and a high subjective quality using fuzzy quantization.

In this paper, an H.263 video codec is implemented by adopting the concept of hardware and software co-design. Each module of the codec is investigated to find which approach between hardware and software is better to achieve real-time processing speed as well as flexibility. The hardware portion includes motion-related engines, such as motion estimation and compensation, and a memory control part. The remaining portion of theH.263 video codec is implemented in software using a RISC processor. This paper also introduces efficient design methods for hardware and software modules. In hardware, an area-efficient architecture for the motion estimator of a multi-resolution block matching algorithm using multiple candidates and spatial correlation in motion vector fields (MRMCS), is suggested to reduce the chip size. Software optimization techniques are also explored by using the statistics of transformed coefficients and the minimum sum of absolute difference (SAD)obtained from the motion estimator.

Full-search algorithm requires large amount of computation which causes time delay or very complex hardware architecture for real time implementation. In this paper, we propose a fast motion estimator based on bit-plane matching, which reduce the computational complexity and the hardware cost. In the proposed motion estimator, the conventional motion estimation algorithms are applied to the binary images directly extracted from the video sequence. Furthermore, in the proposed VLSI motion estimator, we employ a Pair of processing cores that calculate the motion vector continuously By controlling the data flow in a systolic fashion using the internal shift registers in the processing cores, we avoid using SRAM (local memory) so that we remove the time overhead for accessing the local memory and adopt lower-cost fabrication technology. We modeled and tested the proposed motion estimator in VHDL, and then synthesized the whole system which has been integrated in a 0.6-$\mu$m triple-metal CMOS chip of size 8.15 X 10.84$\textrm{mm}^2$.

The system for controlling the robotic arm through the foot motion detection was implemented for the disabled who not free to use of the arm. In order to get an image on foot movement, two cameras were setup in front of both foot. After defining multiple regions of interest by using LabView-based Vision Assistant from acquired images, we could detect foot movement based on left/right and up/down edge detection within the left/right image area. After transferring control data which was obtained according to left/right and up/down edge detection numbers from two foot images of left/right sides through serial communication, control system was implemented to control 6-joint robotic arm into up/down and left/right direction by foot. As a result of experiment, we was able to get within 0.5 second reaction time and operational recognition rate of more 88%.

본 논문에서는 optical flow 추정과 그 문제점에 대하여 기술하였다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 대표적인 방법으로 regularizaiton기법에 대하여 설명하고 이의 변형에 대하여 기술하였다. 또한 최근에 활발히 연구되고 있는 robust 통계학을 이용한 움직임 추정 및 계층적 기법에 대하여 기술하였다. 또한 두 개의 합성 영상에 대하여 optical flow 추정결과를 보였다. Optical flow는 여러 가지 컴퓨터 비젼문제의 기본 정보를 제공함에도 불구하고, 문제 자체가 ill-posed 문제이어서 아직까지도 효과적인 방법이 제안되어 있지 않아 앞으로도 많은 연구가 진행될 것으로 생각된다.
