This paper proposes a hand-eye laser range finder (LRF) based welding plane recognition method for autonomous robotic welding. The robot welding is the process of joining a metal piece and the welding plane along the welding path predefined by the shape of the metal piece. Thus, for successful robotic welding, the position and direction of the welding plane should be exactly detected. If the detected position and direction of the plane is not accurate, the autonomous robotic welding should fail. For precise recognition of the welding plane, a line on the plane is detected by the LRF. For obtaining the line on the plane, the Hough transform is applied to the obtained data from the LRF. Since the Hough transform is based on the voting method, the sensor noise can be reduced. Two lines on the plane are obtained before and after rotation of the robot joint, and then the direction of the plane is calculated by the cross product of two direction vectors of two lines. For verifying the feasibility of the proposed method, the simulation with the robot simulator, RoboticsLab developed by Simlab Co. Ltd., is carried out.

Identification of the mandibular canal path in Computed Tomography (CT) scans is important in dental implantology. Typically, prior to the implant planning, dentists find a sagittal plane where the mandibular canal path is maximally observed, to manually identify the mandibular canal. However, this is time-consuming and requires extensive experience. In this paper, we propose a deep-learning-based framework to detect the desired sagittal plane automatically. This is accomplished by utilizing two main techniques: 1) a modified version of the iterative transformation network (ITN) method for obtaining initial planes, and 2) a fine searching method based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) classifier for detecting the desirable sagittal plane. This combination of techniques facilitates accurate plane detection, which is a limitation of the stand-alone ITN method. We have tested on a number of CT datasets to demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve more satisfactory results compared to the ITN method. This allows dentists to identify the mandibular canal path efficiently, providing a foundation for future research into more efficient, automatic mandibular canal detection methods.

연삭가공은 숫돌의 입자가 마멸,파쇄,탈락,생성의 과정을 반복하면서 가공하는 것으로 연삭과정은 사용하는 연삭숫돌의 종류, 드레싱조건,연삭조건 등의 인자에 영행을 받는다. 더욱이 연삭숫돌의 연삭성능은 연삭가공시간의 경과에 따라 변화한다. 이때 요구되는 가공능률과 가공정밀도를 일정하게 유지하기 위해서는 연삭과정을 자동감시하고 이상상태를 진단하는 기술의 확립이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 AE를 이용하여 평면연삭에 있어서 연삭숫돌의 종류별(WA계 비트리파이드 및 레지노이드결하ㅂ제연삭숫돌 36종류) 및 연삭조건을 변화시켰을때의 연삭저항 및 AE 신호의 변화등을 In-process 검출하여 연삭가공상태의 자동감시 및 자동이상진단시스템을 위한 AE의 적용 가능성을 검토하였다.

This paper proposes the method to detect contours of a face, eyes and a mouth in a color image for making an avatar automatically. First, we use the HSI color model to exclude the effect of various light condition, and we find skin regions in an input image by using the skin color is defined on HS-plane. And then, we use deformable templates and Genetic Algorithm(GA) to detect contours of a face, eyes and a mouth. Deformable templates consist of B-spline curves and control point vectors. Those can represent various shape of a face, eyes and a mouth. And GA is very useful search procedure based on the mechanics of natural selection and natural genetics. Second, an avatar is created automatically by using contours and Fuzzy C-means clustering(FCM). FCM is used to reduce the number of face color As a result, we could create avatars like handmade caricatures which can represent the user's identity, differing from ones generated by the existing methods.

Detecting human face and facial landmarks automatically in an image is as essential step to a fully automatic face recognition system. In this paper, we present a new approach to detect automatically face and its eyes of input image with scale and rotation variations of faces by using an intensity based template matching with a single log-polar face template. In a template-based matching it is necessary to normalize the scale changes and rotations of an input image to a template ones. The log-polar mapping which simulates space-variant human visual system converts scale changes and rotations of input image into constant horizontal and cyclic vertical shifts in the output plane. Intelligent use of this property allows us to shift of the candidate log-polar faces mapped at various fixation points of an input image to be matched to a template over the log-polar plane. Thus, the proposed method eliminates the need of adapting multitemplate and multiresolution schemes, which inevitably give rise to intensive computation involved to cope with scale and rotation variations of faces. Through this scale and rotation involved to cope with scale and method can lead to detecting face and its eyes simultaneously. Experimental results on a database of 795 images show over 98% detection rate.

3D positional information of lane can be automatically calculated tv combining GPS data, IMU data if coordinates of lane centers are given. The Road Safety Survey and Analysis Vehicle(RoSSAV) is currently under development to analyze three dimensional safety and stability of roads. RoSSAV has GPS and IMU sensors to get positional information of the vehicle and two road-facing CCD cameras for extraction of lane coordinates. In this paper, we develop technology that automatically detects centers of lanes from the road-facing cameras of RoSSAV. The proposed algorithm defines line-support regions by grouping pixels with similar edge orientation and magnitude together and extracts a line from each line support region by planar fitting. Then if extracted lines and the region in-between satisfy the criteria of brightness and width, we decide this region as lane. The proposed algorithm was more precise and stable than the previously proposed algorithm based on brightness threshold method. Experiments with real road scenes confirmed that lane was effectively extracted by the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a study on the development of deep learning structure for defective pixel detection of next-generation smart LED display board using imaging device. In this research, a technique utilizing imaging devices and deep learning is introduced to automatically detect defects in outdoor LED billboards. Through this approach, the effective management of LED billboards and the resolution of various errors and issues are aimed. The research process consists of three stages. Firstly, the planarized image data of the billboard is processed through calibration to completely remove the background and undergo necessary preprocessing to generate a training dataset. Secondly, the generated dataset is employed to train an object recognition network. This network is composed of a Backbone and a Head. The Backbone employs CSP-Darknet to extract feature maps, while the Head utilizes extracted feature maps as the basis for object detection. Throughout this process, the network is adjusted to align the Confidence score and Intersection over Union (IoU) error, sustaining continuous learning. In the third stage, the created model is employed to automatically detect defective pixels on actual outdoor LED billboards. The proposed method, applied in this paper, yielded results from accredited measurement experiments that achieved 100% detection of defective pixels on real LED billboards. This confirms the improved efficiency in managing and maintaining LED billboards. Such research findings are anticipated to bring about a revolutionary advancement in the management of LED billboards.

본 논문은 텍스처된 3차원 점군데이터를 효율적으로 모델링하는 방법을 제안한다. 지상라이다로부터 획득한 3차원 점군데이터는 많은 노이즈를 가지고 있으며 이로 인해 자동적인 모델링이 어렵다. 3차원 모델링에 있어서 메쉬를 생성해야 3차원 랜더링이 가능하지만 3차원 메쉬 생성은 노이즈에 취약하기 때문에 디자이너들이 수작업으로 노이즈를 제거해야만 한다. 하지만 노이즈 자제가 지상 라이다로부터 들어온 데이터이기 때문에 자동적인 노이즈 제거가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 텍스처된 지상 라이다 데이터로부터 칼라 영상의 정보를 이용한 윤곽선 정보 검출 방법을 제안한다. 대부분의 건물과 같은 구조물에서 최 외곽은 같은 색의 정보를 가지고 있다. 최 외곽 칼라의 정보를 이용하여 칼라 정보의 변화를 제한하고, 유사 칼라 정보를 가지고 있는 픽셀만 얻어냄으로써 최외각 정보를 얻어낸다. 칼라 이미지를 이용만 필터링 된 점군데이터는 xy, xz, yz 각각의 평면에서 윤곽선 데이터를 가지며 이는 구조물에 대한 모델링의 속도를 빠르게 해준다.
