An intelligent safety vehicle(ISV) should have an ability to predict the possibility of an accident and help a driver avoid the accident in advance. The basic function of the ISV is to alert the driver by warning when the collision is to occur. For this purpose, the ISV has to function efficiently in sensing the environmental context. While image processing provides lane information, laser radar senses road obstacles including vehicles. By applying a simple clustering algorithm to radar signals, it is possible to obtain the vehicle information. Consequently, we can identify the existence of the vehicle of interest on my lane. The reliability of the sensing algorithm is evaluated by running on the highway with a test vehicle.

The range-based method is easy to get the 3D data in detail, but the image-based is not. In this paper. employing the magnifying lens. the new approach to get the 3D data in detail is suggested. The magnifying lens amplifies the disparity in stereo vision system and the amplification of disparity is to increase the resolution of the depth. We mathematically and experimentally verifies the fact to amplify the disparity and suggests the method to improve the original 3D data with the detail 3D data.

A computer-vision based pipe-inspection algorithm is developed. The algorithm uses the modified Hough transformation and a line-scanning approach to identify the edge line and the radius of the pipe image, from which the eccentricity and dimension of the pipe-end is calculated. Line and circle detection was performed using Laplace operator with input image, which are acquired from the front and side cameras. In order to minimize the memory usage and the processing time, a clustering method with the modified Hough transformation is introduced for line detection. The dimension of inner and outer radius of pipe is calculated by the proposed line-scanning method. The method scans several lines along the X and Y axes, calculating the eccentricity of inner and outer circle, by which pipes with wrong end-shape can be classified and removed.

In this paper we propose and realize the large scale multimedia security system that one janitor control many rooms in many building on multimedia. We Study the system that one watch janitor lots of rooms and lots of buildings the same time, and store the trespasser's moving cource in Database for understanding his action pattern using computer vision technology, but the relational system cannot solve the problem that the trespasser disjoint the security system on sensing method and the system watch only one room or one building.

In this paper, we propose a new paradigm of augmented reality board game environment and a portable game assistant(PGA) which can help gamers with strategy information. Previous AR board games consist of a private and public space. The public space provides rules of the game and shows the scene of game. And the gamers control game pieces in the public space. The previous games use the RFIDs for recognizing positions of the pieces, and the VR/AR environment for providing the scene of the game. However the RFIDs are expansive, and the VR/AR environment is inconvenient because it uses additional devices: the DataGlove, the digital pen, and the HMD. The proposed system recognizes positions of real pieces using the computer vision technique, and uses a monitor to provide dynamic effects. In the private space, previous systems provide entire screen of game and position of specific pieces, but cannot be controled the pieces by gamers. Therefore, in this system, we provide PGA that helps the user to plan of the strategy individually using universally mobile. The PGA helps to plan the strategy in the individual area, and to play easily in the side of the user's convenience.

용접은 힘든 작업환경 때문에 심한 인력난을 겪고 있는 3D 업종 중의 하나이 다. 특히 아크용접을 위해서는 숙련된 작업자가 필요하기 때문에 인력난은 더욱 심각 하다. 현장에서 젊은 작업자는 보기 힘들고 대부분의 작업자는 중년이상의 나이이다. 따라서 머지않아 많은 업체들이 인력난으로 조업을 중단해야 할 사태도 우려하지 않을 수 없는 형편이다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결할 수 있는 용접자동화는 최근 많은 관심을 끌고 있으며 이제 세계적인 추세가 되었다. 용접자동화의 이점은 무엇보다도 일정한 수준의 품질과 생산성에서 찾아볼 수 있다. 용접자동화에서는 가공자동화와는 달리 시스템의 자율성이 특히 중요하다. 작업조건의 설정, 용접봉의 위치와 방향 등은 전적 으로 컴퓨터와 센서시스템을 장착한 로봇에 의해 결정되어야 한다. 따라서 작업자들이 용접에 이용하는 각종 지능적인 능력을 습득하고 이를 각종 제어기와 센서로 모방하여 자율적으로 제어하는 인공지능기술을 응용하는 용접을 로봇의 개발에 관한 각종 연구 가 활발히 진행되고 있다.

Machine vision algorithms, which are composed of noise elimination algorithm, crack detection and mapping algorithm, and path planning algorithm, are required for sealing crack networks effectively and automation of crack sealing.. Noise elimination algorithm is the first step so that computer take cognizance of cracks effectively. Noises should be removed because common road includes a lot of noises(mark of oil, tire, traffic lane, and sealed crack) that make it difficult the computer to acknowledge cracks accurately. The objective of this paper is to propose noise elimination algorithm, prove the efficiency of the algorithm through coding. The result of the coding is represented in this paper as well.
