This paper proposes a face recognition method based on modified Otsu binarization, Hu moment and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Proposed method is robust to brightness, contrast, scale, rotation, and translation changes. Modified Otsu binarization can make binary images that have the invariant characteristic in brightness and contrast changes. From edge and multi-level binary images obtained by the threshold method, we compute the 17 dimensional Hu moment and then extract feature vector using LDA algorithm. Especially, our face recognition system is robust to scale, rotation, and translation changes because of using Hu moment. Experimental results showed that our method had almost a superior performance compared with the conventional well-known principal component analysis (PCA) and the method combined PCA and LDA in the perspective of brightness, contrast, scale, rotation, and translation changes with Olivetti Research Laboratory (ORL) database and the AR database.

It has recently been combined with advanced technologies such as AR and VR, and its application range is expanding to various forms of smart signage. However, until now, digital signage service that reaches us is installed in many floating populations such as bus stops, elevators, and banks and is used in the form of providing news, weather, and advertisements. In addition, large companies, government offices, and outdoor advertising companies occupy the market. The use of such services in small and medium-sized businesses and small retail stores is costly and expensive to manage. Also, it is difficult to generalize the market because services and solutions are being deployed in the market in the form of top-down. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a digital signage system for transmitting a remote video advertisement that uses a show window in front of the store as a beam project screen for small retail stores, and can remotely set and manage and update it in OSGi service platform.

현재 다양한 분야(영화, 광고, AR 등)에서 영상합성 기법이 많이 사용되고 있다. 실제 영상에 가상의 객체를 합성하거나 가상의 환경에 객체를 합성하는 경우 등 영상과 객체간의 사실적인 합성결과를 얻기 위해서는 실제 환경에 적용된 광원의 정보가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 실 세계 조명 정보를 표현하는 HDR(High Dynamic Range) 영상을 이용하여 실 세계의 광원을 추정하는 기법을 제안한다. 광원 추정을 위해 노출 시간을 달리한 일련의 LDR(Low Dynamic Range) 영상으로부터 실 세계정보를 선형적으로 표현할 수 있는 HDR 영상을 생성한다. HDR 영상을 가시화 한 후 영상에 나타나는 밝기 값을 기반으로 영상을 분할하고 분할된 영상들이 나타내는 빛의 세기에 비례하여 방향성 광원을 추정한다. 추정된 조명조건을 이용하여 IBL(Image Based Lighting)등의 전역조명 효과와 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있으며 소수의 광원을 추정함으로써 실시간 렌더링이 중요한 가상현실이나 증강 현실 분야에도 적용할 수 있다. 또한 분할된 영상들로부터 광원을 추정하기 때문에 각각의 영상들이 오브젝트에 나타내는 조명효과도 확인할 수 있다.

In order to effectively distribute the resources, it is very critical to understand the status or progress of construction site quickly and accurately. Augmented Reality (AR) can provide this situation with information which is convenient and intuitive. Conventional implementation of AR in outdoor or construction site condition requires additional sensors or markers to track the position and direction of camera. This research is aimed to develop the technologies which can be utilized in gathering the information of constructing or constructed buildings and structures. The AR technique that does not require additional devices except for the camera was implemented to simplify the system and improve utility in inaccessible area. In order to do so, the position of camera's perspective center and direction of camera was estimated using exterior orientation techniques. And 3D drawing model of building was projected and overlapped using this information. The result shows that by using this technique, the virtual drawing image was registered on real image with few pixels of error. The technique and procedure introduced in this paper simplifies the hardware organization of AR system that makes it easier for the AR technology to be utilized with ease in construction site. Moreover, this technique will help the AR to be utilized even in inaccessible areas. In addition to this, it is expected that combining this technique and 4D CAD technology can provide the project manager with more intuitive and comprehensive information that simplifies the monitoring work of construction progress and planning.

AR(Augmented Reality)는 일반적으로 VE(Virtual Environments) 혹은 VR(Virtual Reality)에서 파생한 것으로 실제 환경(real environment)에 컴퓨터 그래픽스 영상을 삽입하여 실제와 가상의 영상 혼합을 뜻한다[1]. 실세계는 컴퓨터로 만들기 힘든 많은 정보들이 존재한다. 그렇지만 그 정보들 중에 우리가 필요하지 않은 많은 정보도 있고, 때로는 우리가 필요 하는 정보가 부족할 수도 있다. 컴퓨터로 재생한 가상 환경을 이용하면, 필요하지 않은 정보들을 단순하게 만들거나 보이지 않는 정보들을 만들어 낼 수 있다.

This study was for characterizing the engineering geological properties of Moryang Fault, and providing the basic data for tunnel design. Land-sat image analysis, geologic surveys, resistivity prospecting and 3-dimensional analysis for results of resistivity prospecting, core boring, mineralogical identification and chemical analysis for the bedrock, and K-Ar age dating for fault clay were carried out for the study of Moryang Fault which is located at Duckhyunri Sangbukmyun Uljinkun Ulsan metropolis. As a result of the study, it was shown that strike/dip was N20-3$0^{\circ}C$E/70-9$0^{\circ}C$NW, width of fault ranged from 20 to 60m(maximum 80m), and depth was more than 50m. K-Ar age dating results of fault clay were 5,700$\pm$1.129Ma and 1,900$\pm$0.380Ma. Hydraulic fracturing test results showed the principal stress direction similar to the strike of Moryang Fault.

In this paper, we present a distortion correction for wearable Augmented Reality (AR) on mobile phones. Head Mounted Display (HMD) using mobile phones, such as Samsung Gear VR or Google's cardboard, introduces lens distortion of the rendered image to user. Especially, in case of AR the distortion is more complicated due to the duplicated optical systems from mobile phone's camera and HMD's lens. Furthermore, such distortions generate mismatches of the visual cognition or perception of the user. In a natural way, we can assume that transparent wearable displays are the ultimate visual system which generates the least misperception. Therefore, the image from the mobile phone must be corrected to cancel this distortion to make transparent-like AR display with mobile phone based HMD. We developed a transparent-like display in the mobile wearable AR environment focusing on two issues: pincushion distortion and field-of view. We implemented our technique and evaluated their performance.

최근에는 통신기술과 인터넷의 발달로 원격의 사람과 전화, 이메일, 메신저 또는 화상회의 시스템 등을 통해서 쉽게 의사소통 할 수 있다. 이 시스템들은 주로 음성, 그림, 동영상 또는 문자 기반의 시청각 정보를 서로 주고 받으며 자신의 의사 및 감정을 전달하는 통로를 제공한다. 그러나 일상 생활에서 시청각 정보 외에 촉감 정보도 서로 의사소통 하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 악수, 포옹 등의 촉감 상호작용은 사람 사이에서 친근감을 표시하는데 가장 직접적인 방법으로 자신의 감정을 전달하거나 느낌을 표현하는데 사용된다. 그럼에도 불구하고 촉감 상호작용을 가능케 하는 의사소통 시스템의 연구는 아직 폭넓게 진행되고 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 일상에서와 같이 원격에서도 상대를 바라 볼 수 있고 자연스럽게 접촉할 수 있는 원격 촉감 커뮤니케이션 시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템에서는 로컬 사용자가 손가락으로 상대의 몸 특정 부위를 만질 수 있고 서로 그 촉감을 실시간으로 느낄 수 있다. 이 시스템은 크게 AR 시스템, 그래픽 시스템, 햅틱 시스템, 택타일 시스템의 부시스템들로 나눌 수 있다. AR 시스템에서는 몸의 한 부위에 사각형의 AR 마커를 부착한 원격 사용자를 웹카메라로 촬영하고 ARToolKit 을 사용하여 마커의 위치를 측정한다. AR 마커의 바로 밑에는 택타일 장치가 장착되어 있으며 이 부위를 통하여 원격의 사용자는 로컬사용자가 자신의 팔을 만지는 느낌을 받게된다. 그래픽 시스템은 로컬사용자에게 촬영된 원격 사용자와 측정된 마커의 위치가 대표하는 원격 사용자의 가상 피부, 그리고 자신의 가상 손가락을 보여준다. 햅틱 시스템에서는 촉감 장치를 사용하여 로컬 사용자의 손가락 위치를 구하여 원격 사용자의 가상 피부와 접촉했을 때 그 충돌을 감지하고 접촉력을 계산하여 촉감 장치에 반영함으로써 그 접촉력을 느낄 수 있도록 한다. 택타일 시스템에서는 원격 사용자의 AR 마커 밑에 장착된 배열 타입의 진동 촉감 장치에 접촉 정보를 주어 로컬 사용자와 접촉 했을 때 접촉 부위에 진동을 줌으로써 촉감을 느끼도록 한다.

As the recent advances in network and wireless communications and semiconductor design and process technologies, our computing platform is rapidly shifting from desktop PCs to mobile devices such as UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC), Tablet PC, and Smartphone. Especially, wide-spreading Smartphones allow a new field of application based on location based services available with an user interface called augmented reality (AR). Therefore, this paper introduces an implementation of AR using various OpenAPls on Android Smartphones. In order to utilize enrich user data in real time, the system integrates with location based social network services also with OpenAPI. These APIs enable third-party developers to make use of rich contents of many portal web sites. The prototype was implemented on the real Android phone, Sky Sirius, and the result shows that it can provide an efficient location based service using AR technology without any constraints on mobile devices; in addition, it connects SNS to AR for sharing user data including photos, videos, and messages based on a specific location.
