In this paper, we analyzed the mr detection and the stability of the object tracking system by an adaptive stereo object hacking using region-based MAD(Mean Absolute Difference) algorithm and the modified PID(Proportional Integral Derivative)-based pan/tilt controller. That is, in the proposed system, the location coordinates of the target object in the right and left images are extracted from the sequential stereo input image by applying a region-based MAD algorithm and the configuration parameter of the stereo camera, and then these values could effectively control to pan/tilt of the stereo camera under the noisy circumstances through the modified PID controller. Accordingly, an adaptive control effect of a moving object can be analyzed through the advanced system with the proposed 3D robot vision, in which the possibility of real-time implementation of the robot vision system is also confirmed.

In this paper, a new stereo object extraction algorithm using a block-based MSE (mean square error) algorithm and the configuration parameters of a stereo camera is proposed. That is, by applying the SSD algorithm between the initial reference image and the next stereo input image, location coordinates of a target object in the right and left images are acquired and then with these values, the pan/tilt system is controlled. And using the moving angle of this pan/tilt system and the configulation parameters of the stereo camera system, the mask window size of a target object is adaptively determined. The newly segmented target image is used as a reference image in the next stage and it is automatically updated in the course of target tracking basing on the same procedure. Meanwhile, a target object is under tracking through continuously controlling the convergence and FOV by using the sequentiall extracted location coordinates of a moving target.

A robotically assisted field material handling system designed for loading and unloading of a planar pallet with a forklift in unstructured field environment is presented. The system uses combined acoustic/visual sensing data to define the position/orientation of the pallet and to determine the specific locations of the two slots of the pallet, so that the forklift can move close to the slot and engage it for transport. In order to reduce the complexity of the material handling operation, we have developed a method based on the integration of 2-D range data of Poraloid ultrasonic sensor along with 2-D visual data of an optical camera. Data obtained from the two separate sources complements each other and is used in an efficient algorithm to control this robotically assisted field material handling system . Range data obtained from two linear scannings is used to determine the pan and tilt angles of a pallet using least mean square method. Then 2-D visual data is used to determine the swing angle and engagement location of a pallet by using edge detection and Hough transform techniques. The limitations of the pan and tilt orientation to be determined arc discussed. The system developed is evaluated through the hardware and software implementation. The experimental results are presented.

In this paper, we propose a tracking and recognition of pedestrian/vehicle for intelligent multi-visual surveillance system. The intelligent multi-visual surveillance system consists of several fixed cameras and one calibrated PTZ camera, which automatically tracks and recognizes the detected moving objects. The fixed wide-angle cameras are used to monitor large open areas, but the moving objects on the images are too small to view in detail. But, the PTZ camera is capable of increasing the monitoring area and enhancing the image quality by tracking and zooming in on a target. The proposed system is able to determine whether the detected moving objects are pedestrian/vehicle or not using the SVM. In order to reduce the tracking error, an improved camera calibration algorithm between the fixed cameras and the PTZ camera is proposed. Various experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed system.

웹 카메라로부터 입력된 비디오 영상으로부터 실시간 얼굴 인식은 빠르고 정확한 시스템이 요구된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 객체 분류 기법인 SVM을 이용하여 실시간 다중 얼굴 인식이 가능한 시스템 구현에 중점을 두었다. 본 논문은 얼굴 skin/non-skin 정보를 이용한 얼굴 후보 영역의 검출 단계, 얼굴/비얼굴의 검출 단계, 그리고 얼굴의 인식 단계로 구성되어 있다. 각각의 단계별로 SVM을 적용하였고 각 SVM은 오프라인상의 학습 부분과 온라인상의 테스트 부분으로 구성되어 있고, SVM의 QP 최적화 문제를 해결하기 위해 학습 알고리즘인 SMO을 적용하였다. 팬(Pan)-틸트(Tilt) 제어가 가능한 저가형 웹 카메라를 이용하여 자동으로 얼굴 위치를 추적, 이동하면서 얼굴 인식을 수행하였다.

In this paper, a new intelligent moving target tracking and surveillance system basing on the pan/tilt-embedded stereo camera system is suggested and implemented. In the proposed system, once the face area of a target is detected from the input stereo image by using a YCbCr color model and then, using this data as well as the geometric information of the tracking system, the distance and 3D information of the target are effectively extracted in real-time.

초점거리, 노출 및 백색 평형이 자동으로 조절되는 PTZ 카메라에서는 회전각도에 따라 각 장면의 조명이 변화하기 때문에 각 장면에서 부동한 노출과 백색평형 값을 가지게 되며 때로는 인접 이미지의 색상도 큰 차이가 있을 수 있다. 그러므로 파노라마 배경에서 현재 입력영상의 대응 배경을 추출하여 픽셀 차분하면 에러가 많이 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 조도변화에 강인한 Haar-Like 특징을 이용하여 넓은 시야 범위를 감시할 수 있는 PTZ 카메라에서 이동 객체를 검출하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다.

Speed, accuracy and smoothness are the important properties of pan-tilt camera. In the case of a high ratio zoom lens system, low vibration characteristic is a crucial point in driving pan-tilt mechanism. In this paper, a novel micro-stepping controller with a function of reducing vibration was designed using field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) technology for high zoom ratio pan-tilt camera. The proposed variable reference current (VRC) control scheme reduces vibration decently and optimizing coil current in order to prevent the step motor from occurring missing steps. By employing VRC control scheme, the vibration in low speed could be significantly minimized. The proposed controller can also make very high speed of 378kpps micro-step driving, and increase maximum acceleration in motion profiles.
