In this paper, we propose a method for vehicle plate detection using depth information which is not influenced by illumination. The 3D camera coordinates of pixels in each block are obtained by using the depth information. Factors of the plane in the block are calculated by 3D coordinates of pixels. After that, the plane similarity between adjacent blocks is calculated by comparing between factors of planes. The adjacent blocks are grouped if the plane similarity is high so that the plane areas are detected. The actual height and width of the plane area are calculated by using depth information and compared with the vehicle plate in order to detect the vehicle plate.

We propose a novel plane detection in disparity space and evaluate its performance. Our method simplifies and makes scenes in disparity space easily dealt with by approximating various surfaces as planes. Moreover, the approximated planes can be represented in the same size as in the real world, and can be employed for obstacle detection and camera pose estimation. Using a stereo matching technique, our method first creates a disparity image which consists of binocular disparity values at xy-coordinates in the image. Slants of disparity values are estimated by exploiting a line simplification algorithm which allows our method to reflect global changes against x or y axis. According to pairs of x and y slants, we label the disparity image. 4-connected disparities with the same label are grouped, on which least squared model estimates plane parameters. N plane models with the largest group of disparity values which satisfy their plane parameters are chosen. We quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate our plane detection. The result shows 97.9%와 86.6% of quality in our experiment respectively on cones and cylinders. Proposed method excellently extracts planes from Middlebury and KITTI dataset which are typically used for evaluation of stereo matching algorithms.

In this study we performed the experiment to detect the ERP using SVM with wavelet features. The EEG signal that is generated visual stimulated ERP database in SCCN applied for the experiment. The feature vectors for experiment are categorized frequency and continuous wavelet- based vectors. In experimental results, the detection rate of SVM with wavelet feature vectors improved above 10% comparing with frequency- based feature vector. Based on the experimental results we analyzed the relation between the activity degree of the ERP and the band split characteristics of the ERP by wavelet transform.

This paper proposes a robust lane detection algorithm for non-flat roads by combining a piecewise linear model and dynamic programming. Compared with other lane models, the piecewise linear model can represent 3D shapes of roads from the scenes acquired by monocular camera since it can form a curved surface through a set of planar road. To represent the real road, the planar roads are created by various angles and positions at each section. And dynamic programming determines an optimal combination of planar roads based on lane properties. Experiment results demonstrate the robustness of proposed algorithm against non-flat road, curved road, and camera vibration.

This paper proposes a method for the real-time camera tracking which detects and employs feature points located on a planar object in 3D space. The proposed approach operates in two stages. First, multiple feature points are detected in the 3D space, and then only those that exist on the planar object are selected. The camera's extrinsic parameters are then estimated using the projective geometry relationship between the feature points of the plane and the camera's image plane. The experiments are conducted in a typical indoor environment with regular lighting, without any special illumination setups. In contrast to conventional approaches, the proposed method can detect new feature points on the planar object in real-time and employ them for the camera tracking. This allows for continuous tracking even when the reference features for the camera pose initialization are not available. The experimental results show an average re-projection error of about 5 to 7 pixels, which is relatively small given the image resolution, and demonstrating that camera tracking is possible even in the absence of reference features within the image.

This paper proposes a hand-eye laser range finder (LRF) based welding plane recognition method for autonomous robotic welding. The robot welding is the process of joining a metal piece and the welding plane along the welding path predefined by the shape of the metal piece. Thus, for successful robotic welding, the position and direction of the welding plane should be exactly detected. If the detected position and direction of the plane is not accurate, the autonomous robotic welding should fail. For precise recognition of the welding plane, a line on the plane is detected by the LRF. For obtaining the line on the plane, the Hough transform is applied to the obtained data from the LRF. Since the Hough transform is based on the voting method, the sensor noise can be reduced. Two lines on the plane are obtained before and after rotation of the robot joint, and then the direction of the plane is calculated by the cross product of two direction vectors of two lines. For verifying the feasibility of the proposed method, the simulation with the robot simulator, RoboticsLab developed by Simlab Co. Ltd., is carried out.

In this paper, we propose a technique to estimate the coordinates of feature points existing on a 2D planar object in the three dimensional space. The proposed method detects multiple 3D features from the image, and excludes those which are not located on the plane. The proposed technique estimates the planar homography between the planar object in the 3D space and the camera image plane, and computes back-projection error of each feature point on the planar object. Then any feature points which have large error is considered as off-plane points and are excluded from the feature estimation phase. The proposed method is archived on the basis of the planar homography without any additional sensors or optimization algorithms. In the expretiments, it was confirmed that the speed of the proposed method is more than 40 frames per second. In addition, compared to the RGB-D camera, there was no significant difference in processing speed, and it was verified that the frame rate was unaffected even in the situation that the number of detected feature points continuously increased.

본 논문에서는 직육면체 형태의 실내 공간에서 다중 개체 영역을 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 평면 검출 알고리즘은 평면성을 띄지 않거나 관측이 미흡한 영역에 대해 기하 정보를 검출할 수 없다. 이로 인해 장애물과 같은 개체의 영역을 파악할 수 없는 한계점이 있다. 제안 방법은 유클리드 클러스터링을 기반으로 군집화를 수행하고, 클러스터의 간소화를 통해 다중 개체 영역을 검출한다. 제안 방법은 직육면체 공간의 내부표면을 활용해 직육면체 공간과 좌표계를 공유하는 주요 개체들의 영역을 다량으로 검출한다. 제안 방법은 실험을 통해 다중 개체 영역이 적합하게 검출되었음을 보인다.

In the case of robot and Argument Reality applications using a camera in environments, a technology to estimate planes is a very important technology. A RGB-D camera can get a three-dimensional measurement data even in a flat which has no information of the texture of the plane;, however, there is an enormous amount of computation in order to process the point-cloud data of the image. Furthermore, it could not know the number of planes that are currently observed as an advance, also, there is an additional operation required to estimate a three dimensional plane. In this paper, we proposed the real-time method that decides the number of planes automatically and estimates the three dimensional plane by using the continuous data of an RGB-D camera. As experimental results, the proposed method showed an improvement of approximately 22 times faster speed compared to processing the entire data.

본 논문에서는 실내에서 RGBD 영상을 이용하여 물체를 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 특정 물체가 아닌 일반적인 여러 가지 물체에 대한 특징을 규정하기 어려우므로 본 논문에서는 영상 정보에 의존하기 보다 물체와 픽셀의 기하학적 구조에 기반하여 물체를 검출한다. 우선 컬러 정보를 이용하여 대략적인 영상 영역분할을 하고 이를 같은 레이블로 분류하여 물체와 배경의 후보를 얻는다. 대체로 실내 환경에서 바닥은 평면이라 가정할 수 있으므로 바닥의 평면 모델을 만들어서 물체 후보에서 이를 제외시킨다. 또한, 물체에 대한 간단한 가정을 통해 바닥 이외의 배경 역시 물체와 구분하여서 물체 후보들을 가려낸다. 최종적으로 3 차원 공간에서 가까이 위치하는 레이블을 하나로 통합하는 과정을 통해 최종적인 물체 영역을 검출하고 이를 bounding box 로 표시한다. 직접 촬영한 몇몇 실내 RGBD 영상에서 실험한 결과, 제안하는 방법이 기존 방법들에 비해 물체 검출 성능이 좋은 것을 확인하였다.
