Compact Advanced Satellite 500-4 (CAS500-4), which is scheduled to be launched in 2025, is a mid-resolution satellite with a 5 m resolution developed for wide-area agriculture and forest observation. To utilize satellite images, it is important to establish a precision sensor model and establish accurate geometric information. Previous research reported that a precision sensor model could be automatically established through the process of matching ground control point (GCP) chips and satellite images. Therefore, to improve the geometric accuracy of satellite images, it is necessary to improve the GCP chip matching performance. This paper proposes an improved GCP chip matching scheme for improved precision sensor modeling of mid-resolution satellite images. When using high-resolution GCP chips for matching against mid-resolution satellite images, there are two major issues: handling the resolution difference between GCP chips and satellite images and finding the optimal quantity of GCP chips. To solve these issues, this study compared and analyzed chip matching performances according to various satellite image upsampling factors and various number of chips. RapidEye images with a resolution of 5m were used as mid-resolution satellite images. GCP chips were prepared from aerial orthographic images with a resolution of 0.25 m and satellite orthogonal images with a resolution of 0.5 m. Accuracy analysis was performed using manually extracted reference points. Experiment results show that upsampling factor of two and three significantly improved sensor model accuracy. They also show that the accuracy was maintained with reduced number of GCP chips of around 100. The results of the study confirmed the possibility of applying high-resolution GCP chips for automated precision sensor modeling of mid-resolution satellite images with improved accuracy. It is expected that the results of this study can be used to establish a precise sensor model for CAS500-4.

In this paper, we propose the input image selection-method to improve the reconstructed high-resolution (HR) image quality. To obtain ideal super-resolution (SR) reconstruction image, all input images are well-registered. However, the registration is not ideal in practice. Due to this reason, the selection of input images with low registration error (RE) is more important than the number of input images in order to obtain good quality of a HR image. The suitability of a candidate input image can be determined by using statistical and restricted registration properties. Therefore, we propose the proper candidate input Low Resolution(LR) image selection-method as a pre-processing for the SR reconstruction in automatic manner. In video sequences, all input images in specified region are allowed to use SR reconstruction as low-resolution input image and/or the reference image. The candidacy of an input LR image is decided by the threshold value and this threshold is calculated by using the maximum motion compensation error (MMCE) of the reference image. If the motion compensation error (MCE) of LR input image is in the range of 0 < MCE < MMCE then this LR input image is selected for SR reconstruction, else then LR input image are neglected. The optimal reference LR (ORLR) image is decided by comparing the number of the selected LR input (SLRI) images with each reference LR input (RLRI) image. Finally, we generate a HR image by using optimal reference LR image and selected LR images and by using the Hardie's interpolation method. This proposed algorithm is expected to improve the quality of SR without any user intervention.

본 논문은 1 비트 변환(1-bit transform: 1BT) 알고리듬에 적응적 탐색 지점 조정을 추가적으로 적용한 알고리듬이다. 1BT는 정합 오차 기준을 Sum of Absolute(SAD)를 대신 하여 Number of Non-matching Point(NNMP)를 사용하여 속도를 향상시키고, 하드웨어 구현을 용이하게 했다. 하지만 정합 오차 기준만 바뀌었을 뿐, 전역 탐색(FS: Full Search)알고리듬을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 1BT방법에 적응적 탐색 지점 조정을 적용함으로써 추가적으로 속도 향상하는 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 실험 결과에서는 기존의 1BT와 제안하는 알고리듬을 비교하여 PSNR과 시간 측면에서의 뛰어난 성능을 보여준다.

In this paper, we propose a new feature matching algorithm which is robust to the viewpoint change by using the FAST(Features from Accelerated Segment Test) feature detector and the SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) feature descriptor. The original FAST algorithm unnecessarily results in many feature points along the edges in the image. To solve this problem, we apply the principal curvatures for refining it. We use the SIFT descriptor to describe the extracted feature points and calculate the homography matrix through the RANSAC(RANdom SAmple Consensus) with the matching pairs obtained from the two different viewpoint images. To make feature matching robust to the viewpoint change, we classify the matching pairs by calculating the Euclidean distance between the transformed coordinates by the homography transformation with feature points in the reference image and the coordinates of the feature points in the different viewpoint image. Through the experimental results, it is shown that the proposed algorithm has better performance than the conventional feature matching algorithms even though it has much less computational load.

This paper proposes a robust controller for flexible joint robots to achieve tracking performance and to improve robustness against both matched and mismatched disturbances. The proposed controller consists of a disturbance observer(DOB), passivity-based controller, and integral sliding mode controller(ISMC) in a backstepping manner. The DOB compensates the mismatched disturbance in the link-side and formulates the reference input for the motor-side controller. Interconnection and damping assignment passivity-based controller (IDA-PBC) performs tracking control of motor-side, and it is integrated to nominal control of ISMC to guarantee the over-all stability of the nominal system, while, matched disturbances are decoupled by the discontinuous control of ISMC. In the design of the link-side controller, PD type impedance controller is designed with DOB and this leads the continuous control input which is suitable to the reference input for the motor-side.

Most of digital subtraction methods in dental radiography are based on registration using manual landmarks. We have developed an automatic registration method without using the manual selection of landmarks. By restricting a geometrical matching of images to a region of interest (ROl), we compare the cross-correlation coefficient only between the ROIs. The affine or perspective transform parameters satisfying maximum of cross-correlation between the local regions are searched iteratively by a fast searching strategy. The parameters are searched on the 1/4 scale image coarsely and then, the fine registration is performed on the original scale image. The developed method can match the images corrupted by Gaussian noise with the same accuracy for the images without any transform simulation. The registration accuracy of the perspective method shows a 17% improvement over the manual method. The application of the developed method to radiography of dental implants provides an automatic noise robust registration with high accuracy in almost real time.

Spatial data is becoming very important as a medium that connects various data produced in smart cities, digital twins, autonomous driving, smart construction, and other applications. In addition, the rapid construction and update of spatial information is becoming a hot topic to satisfy the diverse needs of consumers in this field. This study developed a software prototype that can match the position of an image-based 3D building model produced without Ground Control Points using existing spatial data. As a result of applying this software to the test area, the 3D building model produced based on the image and the existing spatial data show a high positional matching rate, so that it can be widely used in applications requiring the latest 3D spatial data.

본 논문은 최근 연구가 지속적으로 진행되고 있는 움직임 추정 기술 중 하나인 1비트 변환(One-bit Transform, IBT) 알고리듬의 정확도를 개선시킨 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 1비트 변환 알고리듬은 정합오차 기준을 기존의 Sum of Absolute Differences (SAI)에서 이진연산이 가능한 정합오차로 바꿔서 하드웨어 설계에 보다 적합하도록 제안된 알고리듬이지만 정합 과정에서 많은 오차를 야기하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 1비트 변환 알고리듬 과정 중 계산 되는 필터 값의 보정을 통해 움직임 추정의 정확도를 향상 시켰다. 실험 결과에서 제안된 알고리듬이 객관적인 화질 측면에서 기존의 1비트 변환 알고리듬보다 더 우수한 성능을 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

지문을 이용한 개인 인증 절차는 지문 형태 별로 구분하는 분류(classification) 과정과 본인임을 확인하는 정합(matching) 과정으로 구분할 수 있다. 지문의 분류와 정합을 위해서는 기존 연구들이 지문의 특징점 수와 방향성의 흐름 패턴에 의존한다. 본 논문에서는 방향성의 흐름 패턴을 이용한 중심점 추출에 초점이 맞춰져 있으며 추출된 중심점 정보는 현재 구현되어진 특징점 추출 정보와 연계해 정합을 위한 기준점으로 활용한다. 중심점 추출 방식은 입력된 지문 영상에 대해 3 $\times$ 3 Sobel 마스크를 적용한 후 8 $\times$ 8블록 영상을 분할하여 각 대표 방향 성분을 추출하며 추출되어진 방향 성분과 특이점 패턴을 비교하여 중심점을 탐색한다.
