Camera calibration is the process of determining the parameters such as the focal length of a camera, the position of a principal point, and lens distortions. For this purpose, images of checkerboard have been mainly used. When targets were automatically recognized in checkerboard image, the existing studies had limitations in that the user should have a good understanding of the input parameters for recognizing the target or that all checkerboard should appear in the image. In this study, a methodology for automatic target recognition was proposed. In this method, even if only a part of the checkerboard image was captured using rectangles including eight blobs, four each at the central portion and the outer portion of the checkerboard, the index of the target can be automatically assigned. In addition, there is no need for input parameters. In this study, three conditions were used to automatically extract the center point of the checkerboard target: the distortion of black and white pattern, the frequency of edge change, and the ratio of black and white pixels. Also, the direction and numbering of the checkerboard targets were made with blobs. Through experiments on two types of checkerboards, it was possible to automatically recognize checkerboard targets within a minute for 36 images.

In this paper, we propose an accurate camera calibration method for acquiring multiview stereoscopic images. Generally, camera calibration is performed by using checkerboard structured patterns. The checkerboard pattern simplifies feature point extraction process and utilizes previously recognized lattice structure, which results in the accurate estimation of relations between the point on 2-dimensional image and the point on 3-dimensional space. Since estimation accuracy of camera parameters is dependent on feature matching, accurate detection of checkerboard corner is crucial. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the method that performs accurate camera calibration method through accurate detection of checkerboard corners. Proposed method detects checkerboard corner candidates by utilizing 1-dimensional gaussian filters with succeeding corner refinement process to remove outliers from corner candidates and accurately detect checkerboard corners in sub-pixel unit. In order to verify the proposed method, we check reprojection errors and camera location estimation results to confirm camera intrinsic parameters and extrinsic parameters estimation accuracy.

Topology optimization of the inner reinforcement for a vehicle's hood has been performed by evolutionary structural optimization(ESO) using a smoothing scheme. The purpose of this study is to obtain optimal topology of the inner reinforcement for a vehicle's hood considering the static stiffness of bending and torsion simultaneously. To do this, the multiobjective optimization technique was implemented. Optimal topologies were obtained by the ESO method. From several combinations of weighting factors, a Pareto-optimal solution was obtained. Also, a smoothing scheme was implemented to suppress the checkerboard pattern in the procedure of topology optimization. It is concluded that ESO method with a smoothing scheme is effectively applied to topology optimization of the inner reinforcement of a vehicle's hood considering the static stiffness of bending and torsion.

The purpose of this paper is to develop the algorithm of human arousal inducing interface using steady-state visual evoked potential(SSVEP) and its verification through experiments. In order to develop the model, computer-based SSVEP program simulation is preliminary performed. From the results of the simulation, stimulus pattern is decided to checkerboard and SSVEP frequency range is set into beta wave (13~30Hz). After the experiment on proving the effect of SSVEP flashing stimulation while driving by installing it at the location of people mostly falling asleep in the highway, the result confirms that both during the night and the day, after SSVEP flashing stimulation, a wave Beta immediately increases and the subjects keep high stimulation for the 5 minute maintaining stage.
