The research about Intelligence Transport Systems(ITS) is actively studied for the traffic problem solution recently. Also, the various methods to detect vehicles moving in the roads are studied. This research using image processing technology is to give the drivers the road information quickly by developing Vehicle Detection System that detects through traffics. Purpose or this research is developing efficient algorithm to facilitate hardware composition. We use morphology method to extract corner points in the images captured by CCD camera. Also, the proposed algorithm detects vehicle's moving area by using motion vectors between corner points. The experiments of the proposed algorithm whose processing time was shortened show good results in vehicle detection on the live road images.

Spin images representing efficiently surface features of 3D mesh models have been used to detect facial landmark points. However, at a certain point, different normal direction can lead to quite different spin images. Moreover, since 3D points are projected to the 2D (${\alpha}-{\beta}$) space during spin image generation, surface features cannot be described clearly. In this paper, we present a method to detect 3D facial landmark using improved spin images by partitioning the search area with respect to angle. By generating sub-spin images for angular partitioned 3D spaces, more unique features describing corresponding surfaces can be obtained, and improve the performance of landmark detection. In order to generate spin images robust to inaccurate surface normal direction, we utilize on averaging surface normal with its neighboring normal vectors. The experimental results show that the proposed method increases the accuracy in landmark detection by about 34% over a conventional method.

A lunar rover's optical camera is used to provide navigation and terrain information in an exploration zone. However, due to the scant presence of atmosphere, the Moon has homogeneous terrain with dark soil. Also, in extreme environments, the rover has limited data storage with low computation capability. Thus, for successful exploration, it is required to examine feature detection and matching methods which are robust to lunar terrain and environmental characteristics. In this research, SIFT, SURF, BRISK, ORB, and AKAZE are comparatively analyzed with lunar terrain images from a lunar rover. Experimental results show that SIFT and AKAZE are most robust for lunar terrain characteristics. AKAZE detects less quantity of feature points than SIFT, but feature points are detected and matched with high precision and the least computational cost. AKAZE is adequate for fast and accurate navigation information. Although SIFT has the highest computational cost, the largest quantity of feature points are stably detected and matched. The rover periodically sends terrain images to Earth. Thus, SIFT is suitable for global 3D terrain map construction in that a large amount of terrain images can be processed on Earth. Study results are expected to provide a guideline to utilize feature detection and matching methods for future lunar exploration rovers.

얼굴의 특징점 추적은 많은 응용프로그램에서 사용된다. AAM기반의 접근방식은 정교한 얼굴 특징점 정보를 제공하지만 정확한 특징 점 추출을 위해 얼굴 모양 파라미터 초기화 문제와 연속 영상에서 얼굴의 이동이 클 경우 모션 보정에 대한 문제가 여전히 남아있다. 이러한 문제를 풀기 위해 본 논문에서는 CAMShift를 사용해 얼굴 영역을 추적하고, 얼굴 영역 내에서 입을 검출함으로써 AAM 검색을 위한 얼굴 모양 파라미터를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 기존 알고리즘과의 비교 실험을 통해 얼굴의 움직임이 심한 상황에서도 제안하는 알고리즘의 성능이 매우 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문은 지문 특징점 들에서 서로 연결되어진 구조 정보를 활용한 지문 매칭 알고리즘에 대해 연구하였다. 매칭에 이용한 특징은 분기점, 단점 그리고 융선의 방향 등이다. 한 융선 위에 존재하는 여러 특징점들의 연결정보를 찾고, 이를 저장하여 기준좌표축(한쌍의 특징)을 검출한다. 서로 일치하는 한 쌍의 특징을 이용해 입력지문을 이동하고 회전하여 원본지문과 일치시킨 후 각 특징들의 위치, 융선 방향이 일치하는 개수에 따라 지문의 동일여부를 판단하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 회전과 이동에 무관한 지문인식이 가능하며, 처리 속도가 빨라 실시간 지문인식에 적용할 수 있다.

Human faces are commonly found in a video such as a drama and provide useful information for video content analysis. Therefore, face detection plays an important role in applications such as face recognition, and face image database management. In this paper, we propose a face detection algorithm based on pre-processing of scene change detection for indexing and cast searching in video. The proposed algorithm consists of three stages: scene change detection stage, face region detection stage, and eyes and mouth detection stage. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can detect faces successfully over a wide range of facial variations in scale, rotation, pose, and position, and the performance is improved by $24\%$with profile images comparing with conventional methods using color components.

In this paper, we propose an AR(augmented reality) system using user's bare hand based on computer vision. It is important for registering a virtual object on the real input image to detect and track correct feature points. The AR systems with markers are stable but they can not register the virtual object on an acquired image when the marker goes out of a range of the camera. There is a tendency to give users inconvenient environment which is limited to control a virtual object. On the other hand, our system detects fingertips as fiducial features using adaptive ellipse fitting method considering the geometric characteristics of hand. It registers the virtual object stably by getting movement of fingertips with determining the shortest distance from a palm center. We verified that the accuracy of fingertip detection over 82.0% and fingertip ordering and tracking have just 1.8% and 2.0% errors for each step. We proved that this system can replace the marker system by tacking a camera projection matrix effectively in the view of stable augmentation of virtual object.
