3D object detection pipelines often incorporate RGB-based object detection methods such as YOLO, which detects the object classes and bounding boxes from the RGB image. However, in complex environments where objects are heavily cluttered, bounding box approaches may show degraded performance due to the overlapping bounding boxes. Mask based methods such as Mask R-CNN can handle such situation better thanks to their detailed object masks, but they require much longer time for data preparation compared to bounding box-based approaches. In this paper, we present a 3D object recognition pipeline which uses either the YOLO or Mask R-CNN real-time object detection algorithm, K-nearest clustering algorithm, mask reduction algorithm and finally Principal Component Analysis (PCA) alg orithm to efficiently detect 3D poses of objects in a complex environment. Furthermore, we also present an improved YOLO based 3D object detection algorithm that uses a prioritized heightmap clustering algorithm to handle overlapping bounding boxes. The suggested algorithms have successfully been used at the Artificial-Intelligence Robot Challenge (ARC) 2021 competition with excellent results.

Object recognition in the field of robotics generally has depended on a computer vision system. Recently, RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) has been suggested as technology that supports object recognition. This paper, introduces the advanced RFID-based recognition using a novel tag which is named a 3D tag. The 3D tag was designed to facilitate object recognition. The proposed RFID system not only detects the existence of an object, but also estimates the orientation and position of the object. These characteristics allow the robot to reduce considerably its dependence on other sensors for object recognition. In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of the 3D tag-based RFID system. In addition, the estimation methods of position and orientation using the system are discussed.

Background: Inspection of livestock farms using surveillance cameras is emerging as a means of early detection of transboundary animal disease such as African swine fever (ASF). Object tracking, a developing technology derived from object detection aims to the consistent identification of individual objects in farms. Objectives: This study was conducted as a preliminary investigation for practical application to livestock farms. With the use of a high-performance artificial intelligence (AI)-based 3D depth camera, the aim is to establish a pathway for utilizing AI models to perform advanced object tracking. Methods: Multiple crossovers by two humans will be simulated to investigate the potential of object tracking. Inspection of consistent identification will be the evidence of object tracking after crossing over. Two AI models, a fast model and an accurate model, were tested and compared with regard to their object tracking performance in 3D. Finally, the recording of pig pen was also processed with aforementioned AI model to test the possibility of 3D object detection. Results: Both AI successfully processed and provided a 3D bounding box, identification number, and distance away from camera for each individual human. The accurate detection model had better evidence than the fast detection model on 3D object tracking and showed the potential application onto pigs as a livestock. Conclusions: Preparing a custom dataset to train AI models in an appropriate farm is required for proper 3D object detection to operate object tracking for pigs at an ideal level. This will allow the farm to smoothly transit traditional methods to ASF-preventing precision livestock farming.

The attempt to use a 3D model each field such as design, structure, construction, facilities, and estimation in the construction project has recently increased more and more while BIM (Building Information Modeling) that manages the process of generating and managing building data has risen during life cycle of a construction project. While the 2D Drawing based work of each field is achieved in the already existing construction project, the BIM based construction project aims at accomplishing 3D model based work of each field efficiently. Accordingly, the solution that fits 3D model based work of each field and supports plans in order to efficiently accomplish the relevant work is demanded. The estimation, one of the fields of the construction project, has applied BIM to calculate quantity and cost of the building materials used to construction works after taking off building quantity information from the 3D model by a item for a Quantity Take-off grouping the materials relevant to a 3D object. A 3D based estimation program has been commonly used in abroad advanced countries using BIM. The program can only calculate quantity related to one 3D object. In other words, it doesn't support the take-off process considering quantity of a contiguous object. In case of temporary materials used in the frame construction, there are instances where quantity is different by the contiguous object. For example, the formwork of the temporary materials quantity is changed by dimensions of the contiguous object because formwork of temporary materials goes through the quantity take-off process that deduces quantity of the connected object when different objects are connected. A worker can compulsorily adjust quantity so as to recognize the different object connected to the contiguous object and deduces quantity, but it mainly causes the confusion of work because it must complexly consider quantity of other materials related to the object besides. Therefore, this study is to propose the solution that automates the formwork 3D modeling to efficiently accomplish the quantity take-off of formwork by preventing the confusion of the work which is caused by the quantity deduction process between the contiguous object and the connected object.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 비젼 시스템의 3차원 정보에 의해 가변되는 윈도우 마스크와 광 BPEJTC(binary phase extraction joint transform correlator)를 이용하여 스테레오 카메라를 제어하는 새로운 3차원 물체추적 시스템을 제안하였다. 즉, 스테레오 비젼 시스템의 구성 요소에 의해 3차원 정보인 추적 물체까지의 거리 정보를 쉽게 구할 수 있고, 이 거리 정보로 윈도우 마스크를 가변 시켜 추적물체 영역을 추출할 수 있다. 이 추적물체 영역은 다음 기준영상으로 갱신하여 사용된다. 그리고 이 기준영상과 스테레오 입력 영상간에 광 BPEJTC를 실행하여 추적 물체의 위치 값을 구하고. 이 값으로 스테레오 카메라의 주시각과 팬/틸트를 제어하여 3차원 물체추적이 이루어진다. 실험 결과 제안한 알고리즘은 스테레오 입력 영상에서 배경잡음과 관계없이 추적 물체영역을 추출하여 3차원 물체추적이 가능하고, 이의 구현으로 3차원 원격작업 시스템이나 적응적인 3차원 물체 추적기 등의 구현 가능성을 제시하였다.

This paper presents a new method for reconstructing 3 dimensional object model using a zoom camera. The proposed method uses zoom images to find the distance(D) between camera and object. Also the method uses images obtained around the object to find an $angle(\theta)$ between two connected planes of the object. With the D and $\theta,$ we can reconstruct the real sized 3-D model of object with less errors without stereo camera or rangefinder.

This paper presents a 3D object recognition method for generation of 3D environmental map or obstacle recognition of mobile robots. An active light source projects a stripe pattern of light onto the object surface, while the camera observes the projected pattern from its offset point. The system consists of a laser unit and a camera on a pan/tilt device. The line segment in 2D camera image implies an object surface plane. The scaling, filtering, edge extraction, object extraction and line thinning are used for the enhancement of the light stripe image. We can get faithful depth informations of the object surface from the line segment interpretation. The performance of the proposed method has demonstrated in detail through the experiments for varies type objects. Experimental results show that the method has a good position accuracy, effectively eliminates optical noises in the image, greatly reduces memory requirement, and also greatly cut down the image processing time for the 3D object recognition compared to the conventional object recognition.

본 논문에서는 다수의 카메라들을 이용하여 3차원 공간상에 있는 물체에 대한 다중 시점 영상들을 획득하고, 그 영상들로부터 해당 3차원 물체에 대한 기하학적인 형상 및 질감 정보를 추정하여, 그 물체에 대한 고해상도 3차원 콘텐츠를 효율적으로 제작하는 새로운 시스템을 제안한다. 지금까지 다양한 다중 시점 영상 기반 3차원 객체 복원 시스템들이 제안되었지만 다중 시점 기반 3차원 객체 복원이 많은 메모리와 계산량을 필요로 하기 때문에 고해상도의 3차원 콘텐츠를 얻는 데에는 어려움이 있었다. 3차원 복원에 필요한 계산량 및 메모리량을 줄이기 위해 제안 시스템은 객체의 다중 시점을 촬영한 영상 내에서 객체가 존재할 수 있는 영역을 사전에 설정하여 객체 윤곽선 추출 과정을 빠르게 수행한다. 그리고 체인코드를 활용하여 실루엣 영상을 표현하고 3차원-2차원 투영 및 역투영 관계를 1차원 호모그래피를 통해 표현하여 객체의 비주얼 헐을 빠르게 계산한다. 복원된 3차원 객체의 기하정보는 3차원 선분 기반의 표현 기법인 DoCube를 활용하여 적은 데이터양으로 표현하였으며, 3차원 메시 생성 및 텍스쳐 맵핑을 수행하여 최종적인 3차원 객체를 생성한다. 실험 결과 제안 시스템이 $800{\times}800{\times}800$ 해상도의 3차원 객체 복원을 프레임 당 2.2초에 수행하는 것을 확인하였다.
