Although guided-waves are very efficient for long-range nondestructive damage inspection, it is not easy to extract meaningful pulses of small magnitude out of noisy signals. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop an efficient signal processing technique for the current guided-wave technology. The specific contribution of this investigation towards achieving this goal, a two-stage Gabor pulse-based matching pursuit algorithm is proposed : rough approximations with a set for predetermined parameters characterizing the Gabor pulse and fine adjustments of the parameters by optimization. The parameters estimated from the measured signal are then used to assess not only the location but also the size of a crack existing in a rod. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the longitudinal wave-based damage detection in rods is considered. To estimate the crack size, Love's theory for the dispersion of longitudinal waves is employed.

For successful guided-wave damage inspection, the appropriate signal processing of measured wave signals is very important. The objective of this paper is to introduce an efficient signal processing technique especially suitable for the guided-waves used for damage detection. The key idea of this technique is to model guided-waves by chirp functions of special form considering the dispersion phenomenon. To determine the parameter of the chirp functions simulating guided-waves, the matching pursuit algorithm is employed. The damage information in waveguides can be extracted by pulse-characterizing parameters. The effectiveness of present method is checked with the longitudinal wave-based damage inspection.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for moving object tracking from moving camera using histogram back program intersection(HI) and XY-projection The proposed method segments objects using histogram back projection, matches tracing objects using histogram intersection and extracts them using XY- projection. Through the simulation this paper shows that the proposed method segments. matches and tracks objects without significant error image sequences obtained by moving camera.

In this paper, we propose a pulmonary nodule registration for the tracking of lung nodules in sequential CT scans. Our method consists of following five steps. First, a translational mismatch is corrected by aligning the center of optimal bounding volumes including each segmented lung. Second, coronal maximum intensity projection(MIP) images including a rib structure which has the highest intensity region in baseline and follow-up CT series are generated. Third, rigid transformations are optimized by normalized average density differences between coronal MIP images. Forth, corresponding nodule candidates are defined by Euclidean distance measure after rigid registration. Finally, template matching is performed between the nodule template in baseline CT image and the search volume in follow-up CT image for the nodule matching. To evaluate the result of our method, we performed the visual inspection, accuracy and processing time. The experimental results show that nodules in serial CT scans can be rapidly and correctly registered by coronal MIP-based rigid registration and local template matching.

스테레오 물체 추적기는 좌. 우측 카메라의 스테레오 입력 영상에서 이동 물체의 주시각을 제어하면서 자동으로 추적 물체가 항상 영상의 중앙에 위치하도록 제어해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 복잡한 배경이 존재하고 카메라가 움직이는 경우 스테레오 물체 추적을 위한 방법으로 블록 정합 알고리즘(BMA)으로 추적 물체와 배경을 분리하고, JTC를 이용해 주시각 및 팬/틸트 제어 값을 구하여 좌, 우측 카메라를 제어하는 스테레오 자동 물체 추적 시스템을 제시하였다. 추적결과 배경잡음에 상관없이 적응적으로 작용하여 정확히 이동 물체의 위치를 스테레오로 추적할 수 있었다.

This paper presents a new model based method for tracking moving object from a moving camera. In the proposed method, binary model is derived from detected object regions and Hausdorff distance between the model and edge image is used as its similarity measure to overcome the target's shape changes. Also, a novel search algorithm and some optimization methods are proposed to enable realtime processing. The experimental results on our test sequences demonstrate the high efficiency and accuracy of our approach.

In this paper, we propose a new adaptive stereo object tracking system that can be used when the back ground image is complex and the cameras are not fixed . In this method, we used the Block Matching Algorithm to separate the tracking object form the background image and then the optical JTC system is used to obtain the convergence-controlling and pa/tilt-controlling values fro the left and right cameras. the experimental results are found to track the object robustly & adaptively for the object tracking in various background images, and the possibility of real-time implementation of the proposed system by using the optical JTC is also suggested.

이동 물체 검출 및 추적은 과중한 연산량에 의해 초당 처리할 수 있는 프레임의 수가 적게 되거나 정합 과정이 단순하여 추적을 실패하는 문제점들이 있다. 본 논문에서는 동영상내에서 이동 물체를 검출하고 추적하는 새로운 접근 방법을 제안한다. 입력된 영상으로부터 배경과 물체를 분리하기 위해 background subtraction을 이용하였고, 분리된 물체들은 이진 연결 요소 분석을 통하여 세그먼트 된다. 그리고 물체의 추적을 위하여 Kalman filter를 사용하였다. 본 논문의 실험에서는 야외에서 촬영한 비디오 시퀀스를 이용하였으며, 물체 검출 및 추적이 조명 변화, 그림자에도 잘 적응함을 증명하였다.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for initializing a target vehicle detection, tracking the vehicle and estimating the distance from it on the stereo images acquired from a forward-looking stereo camera mounted on a road driving vehicle. The process of vehicle detection extracts road region using lane recognition and searches vehicle feature from road region. The distance of tracking vehicle is estimated by TSS correlogram matching from stereo Images. Through the simulation, this paper shows that the proposed method segments, matches and tracks vehicles robustly from image sequences obtained by moving stereo camera.

이진 특징 기술자는 실수 벡터 형태의 특징 기술자보다 빠르게 특징점 추출 및 정합이 가능하고 메모리 공간도 적게 차지하는 장점이 있다. 하지만, 특징점의 수가 많아질수록 정합에 많은 시간이 소요되므로 실시간 처리가 중요한 객체 추적에 적용하기 위해서는 정합의 고속화 방법에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 이진 특징 기술자의 군집화를 통한 특징점의 고속 정합 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 k-means 군집화 알고리즘을 기반으로 정합을 위한 기술자 탐색을 효과적으로 수행함으로써 군집화를 사용하지 않는 기존의 정합 방법에 비해 빠르면서도 높은 정확도를 유지한다.
