This paper proposes the wafer position recognition algorithm using camera. First, for eliminating the image distortions caused by the illumination and the irregular camera position, the wafer image is restored as a circle through projective transformation. Next, we use edge detection algorithm to extract the wafer's edge and then apply Generalized Symmetry Transform(GST) to extract a circle. The GST evaluates symmetry between two points by combining a distance weight function, a phase weight function, and a logarithmic mapping of the points' intensities and detecting interest regions. Trough several experiments, we found out the proposed method is able to prevent the cleaning system and the wafer from damaging.

원영상과 목적영상 사이의 원근 변환(projective transform)에 의해서 생성되는 조강도 영상은 영상의 확대와 축소가 동시에 일어나는 특징을 가지고 있다. 조감도 영상을 구성하는 과정은 원영상의 위치에 따라서 원영상을 확대하거나 축소하여 목적영상을 만들어 내기 때문에, 원영상의 확대와 축소영역을 목적영상에 적합하게 나타내기 위한 보간법이 필요하다. 이중선형 보간법(bilinear interpolation)은 낮은 연산량 때문에 영상변환에 많이 사용되는 보간법이다. 하지만 영상의 확대와 축소 영역에서는 흐려지거나 에일리어싱(aliasing) 효과에 의한 아티팩트(artifact)가 일어나는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해서 고주파성분을 유지하는 에지(edge)정보 기반의 변형된 EWA를 사용 한다. 그리고 엔티 에일리어싱(anti-aliasing)을 수행하는 MIP-mapping을 이용한 보간법을 통해서 축소 영역에서 발생하는 에일리어싱 문제를 해결하여 조감도 영상의 화질을 개선한다.

본 논문에서는 2차원 영상 사이에 움직임 변위를 검출하여 영상내의 원근 깊이를 생성하였으며 양 시차(positive) parallax처리를 하여 입체 영상을 생성한 방법을 제안했다. 이 방식은 2 차원 영상내의 사물의 운동 방향과 속도에 관계없이 3차원 효과를 느낄 수 있다. 제안한 방법은 다양한 영상원에 대해서 실시간으로 입체 영상 변환이 가능하며 LCD shutter goggle 방식의 입체 영상 장치를 통해 실제 시각적인 검증을 수행하였다.

This study suggests a method of detecting the still object, which becomes a cause of danger within the crossroad. The Inverse Perspective Transform was performed in order to make the object size consistent by being inputted the real-time image from CCTV that is installed within the crossroad. It established the detection area in the image with the perspective transform and generated the adaptative background image with the use of the moving information on object. The detection of the stop object was detected the candidate region of the stop object by using the background-image differential method. To grasp the appearance of truth on the detected candidate region, a method is proposed that uses the gradient information on image and EHD(Edge Histogram Descriptor). To examine performance of the suggested algorithm, it experimented by storing the images in the commuting time and the daytime through DVR, which is installed on the cross street. As a result of experiment, it could efficiently detect the stop vehicle within the detection region inside the crossroad. The processing speed is shown in 13~18 frame per second according to the area of the detection region, thereby being judged to likely have no problem about the real-time processing.

This paper presents a 3-D pose (position and orientation) estimation method for an elliptic object in 3-D space. It is difficult to resolve the problem of determining 3-D pose parameters with respect to an elliptic feature in 3-D space by interpretation of its projected feature onto an image plane. As an alternative, we propose a two points-based pose estimation algorithm to seek the 3-D information of an elliptic feature. The proposed algorithm determines a homogeneous transformation uniquely for a given correspondence set of an ellipse and two coplanar points that are defined on model and image plane, respectively. For each plane, two triangular features are extracted from an ellipse and two points based on the polarity in 2-D projection space. A planar homography is first estimated by the triangular feature correspondences, then decomposed into 3-D pose parameters. The proposed method is evaluated through a series of experiments for analyzing the errors of 3-D pose estimation and the sensitivity with respect to point locations.

We propose a real-time stereoscopic image conversion method that can generate stereoscopic image with different perspective depth using motion parallax from 2-D image and offer realistic 3-D effect regardless of the direction and velocity of the moving object in the 2-D image. The stereoscopic image is generated by computing the motion parallax between adjacent two 2-D images using the proposed method for motion detection, region segmentation and depth map generation. The proposed method is suitable for real-time stereoscopic conversion processing on various image formats. It has been verified the proposed method by comparing between the stereoscopic image of the proposed method and that of MTD.

In this paper, A real-time lane tracking algorithm is proposed for lane departure warning system. To eliminate perspective effect, input image is converted into Bird's View by inverse perspective mapping. Next, suitable features are extracted for lane detection. Lane feature that correspond to area of interest and RANSAC are used to detect lane candidates. And driving lane is decided by clustering of lane candidates. Finally, detected lane is tracked using the Kalman filter. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can be processed within 30ms and its detection rate is approximately 90% on the highway in a variety of environments such as day and night.

첨단 IT기술과 음파와 영상을 이용한 하천 계측 기술의 결합을 통해 하천 수위와 유속을 자동으로 측정하는 기술들이 개발되고 있다. 특히, 표면영상을 이용한 자동유량계측 기술은 카메라 외에 별도로 고가의 장비를 구입할 필요가 없을 뿐 아니라 현장 상황을 영상으로 확인할 수 있기 때문에 현장조사 인력이 필요가 없어 경제적이고, 비접촉식으로 안전하여 각광받고 있는 기법이다. 하지만 표면영상유속계는 기본적으로 원근에 따른 영상왜곡이 발생하기 때문에 이를 정사영상으로 변환하는 과정이 반드시 필요하다. 하지만 대하천과 같이 하폭이 넓은 경우에는 참조점을 이용한 영상왜곡 보정이 어렵다는 한계가 있다. 또한 참조점을 이용한 영상왜곡 변환 방법의 경우 수위변화가 있는 경우 대응이 어렵다는 한계가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 참조점을 이용한 영상왜곡 보정 작업이 필요 없는 지표영상유속측정법(IIVM, Index Image Velocimeter)을 개발하였다. 지표영상유속측정법은 기존 표면영상유속계 달리 복잡한 영상좌표변환 과정을 매우 간단하게 처리할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 지표영상유속측정법은 지표영상유속과 카메라와 수표면 사이의 거리를 고려한 지표유속을 사용하고, 이를 통해 기존 표면영상유속계의 한계인 수위변화를 고려하기 어려웠던 점을 극복할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 수리실험과 현장영상을 활용하여 수위 변화에 따른 지표유속을 측정한 결과 하천 수위가 변화하는 상황에서도 표면유속을 정확하게 산정할 수 있었고, 실제 측정유속을 대신할 수 있는 지표유속으로도 활용 가능한 것을 확인하였다.

An analysis model for the dynamics information of two-dimensional time-series patterns is described. In the proposed model, two novel transforms that visualize the dynamic characteristics are proposed. The first transform, referred to as speed equalization, reproduces a time-series pattern assuming a constant linear velocity to effectively model the temporal characteristics of the signing process. The second transform, referred to as velocity transform, maps the signal onto a horizontal vs. vertical velocity plane where the variation oi the velocities over time is represented as a visible shape. With the transforms, the dynamic characteristics in the original signing process are reflected in the shape of the transformed patterns. An analysis in the context of these shapes then naturally results in an effective analysis of the dynamic characteristics. The proposed transform technique is applied to an online signature verification problem for evaluation. Experimenting on a large signature database, the performance evaluated in EER(Equal Error Rate) was improved to 1.17$\%$ compared to 1.93$\%$ of the traditional signature verification algorithm in which no transformed patterns are utilized. In the case of skilled forgery experiments, the improvement was more outstanding; it was demonstrated that the parameter set extracted from the transformed patterns was more discriminative in rejecting forgeries

Recently, development of technologies for autonomous vehicles has been actively carried out. This paper proposes a computer vision system to recognize lanes, crosswalks, and stop lines for autonomous vehicles. This vision system first recognizes lanes required for autonomous driving using the RANSAC algorithm and the Kalman filter, and changes the viewpoint from the perspective-angle view of the street to the top-view using the fact that the lanes are parallel. Then in the reconstructed top-view image this system recognizes a crosswalk based on its geometrical characteristics and searches for a stop line within a region of interest in front of the recognized crosswalk. Experimental results show excellent performance of the proposed vision system in recognizing lanes, crosswalks, and stop lines.
