본 논문에서는 다양하고 실재적인 조명과 얼굴방향에 관계없이 원활하게 실시간으로 눈을 추적하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 기존의 능동적 적외선 조명을 이용한 대다수의 눈 추적장치들은 밝은 동공효과를 이용하고 있다. 그러나, 눈 깜박임, 외부 조명 간섭과 같은 여러 가지 요소로 인하여 동공들이 충분하게 밝게 나타나지 않는 경우가 많이 있다. 그러므로, 본 논문에서는 능동적 적외선 조명을 기반으로 한 칼만 필터링을 이용한 객체 추적 방법과 전형적인 외관을 기반으로 객체 인식 방법을 결합함으로써, 외부 조명의 간섭으로 밝은 동공 효과가 나타나지 않는 경우에도 견실하게 눈을 검출하고 추적 할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 눈 검출과 추적을 위해 SVM과 평균 이동 추적 방법을 사용하였고, 적외선 조명과 카메라를 포함한 영상 획득 장치를 구성하여 기존의 방법과 비교 실험한 결과 제안된 방법은 일부 피검자의 경우 100% 완벽하게 눈 추적을 할 수 있음을 보여 주었다.

In this study, a motion control problem for the vessels towed by tugboats or towing ships on the sea is considered. The towed vessels, such as barge ships, are used for several purposes. Generally, these vessels have no power propulsion system and are towed using ropes and towing vessel (tugboats). The basic mathematical model of the towed vessel in which three active rudders are attached was introduced from a previous study. Owing to the dependency of the motions of the towed vessel to the towing ship, a method is suggested to cope with the undesirable disturbance and improve the tracking performance. For the simulation study, a model of the towed vessel with a towing ship is made, and necessary physical parameters are identified from the experiment. For the defined and linearized model, a control system is designed, and the control performance is also evaluated. A simulation study is conducted and the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified.

본 논문에서 Pan, Tilt 카메라를 이용한 객체 추적을 위하여 초기 지역정보를 이용하여 객체를 검출하고 검출된 객체의 색 정보를 이용하여 능동 객체를 추적하는 기술을 제안한다. 외부 환경의 잡음을 제거하기 위해 적응적인 가우시안 혼합 모델링을 이용하여 배경과 객체를 분리한다. 객체가 정해지면 카메라가 이동하는 동안에도 추적이 가능한 CAMShift 추적 알고리즘을 이용하여 객체를 실시간으로 추적한다. CAMShift 추적 알고리즘은 객체의 크기를 계산하므로 객체의 크기가 변하더라도 유동적인 객체 판별이 가능하다. Pan, Tilt의 위치는 구좌표계(Spherical coordinates system)를 이용하여 계산하였다. 이렇게 구해진 Pan, Tilt 위치는 Pan, Tilt 프로토콜을 이용하여 객체의 위치를 화면의 중심에 놓이게 함으로써 적합한 추적을 가능하게 한다.

The use of robots in automated factories requires accurate bin-picking to ensure that objects are correctly identified and selected. In the case of atypical objects with multiple reflections from their surfaces, this is a challenging task. In this paper, we developed a random 3D bin picking system by integrating the low-cost vision system with the robotics system. The vision system identifies the position and posture of candidate parts, then the robot system validates if one of the candidate parts is pickable; if a part is identified as pickable, then the robot will pick up this part and place it accurately in the right location.

This study introduces a novel method for predicting the shape of soft catheter robots embedded with electromagnets. As an advancement in the realm of soft robotics, these catheter robots are crafted from flexible and pliable materials, ensuring enhanced safety and adaptability during interactions with human tissues. Given the pivotal role of catheters in minimally invasive surgeries (MIS), our design stands out by facilitating active control over the orientation and intensity of the inbuilt electromagnets. This ensures precise targeting and manipulation of the catheter segments. The research encompasses a comprehensive breakdown of the magnetic modeling, tracking algorithms, experimental layout, and analytical techniques. Both simulation and experimental results validate the efficacy of our method, underscoring its potential to augment accuracy in MIS and revolutionize healthcare-oriented soft robotics.

An optical tracking system has advantages for observing geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellites relatively over other types of observation system. Regular surveying for unidentified space objects with the optical tracking system can be an early warning tool for the safety of five Korean active GEO satellites. Two strategies of positioning on the observed image of Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite 1 are tested and compared. Photometric method has a half root mean square error against streak method. Also eccentricity method for initial orbit determination (IOD) is tested with simulation data and real observation data. Under 10 minutes observation time interval, eccentricity method shows relatively better IOD results than the other time interval. For follow-up observation of unidentified space objects, at least two consecutive observations are needed in 5 minutes to determine orbit for geosynchronous orbit space objects.

This study analyzes the regulatory issues of stakeholders, the firm, the government, and the individual, in the data industry using the principal-agent theory. While the importance of data driven economy is increasing rapidly, policy regulations and restrictions to use data impede the growth of data industry. We applied descriptive case analysis methodology using principal-agent theory. From our analysis, we found several meaningful results. First, key policy actors in data industry are data firms and the government among stakeholders. Second, two major concerns are that firms frequently invade personal privacy and the global companies obtain monopolistic power in data industry. This paper finally suggests policy and strategy in response to regulatory issues. The government should activate the domestic agent system for the supervision of global companies and increase data protection. Companies need to address discriminatory regulatory environments and expand legal data usage standards. Finally, individuals must embody an active behavior of consent.

It is helpful to use Intelligent Video Surveillance to replace and supplement the demerit which can possibly occur due to the mistake that can be made by human management. To accomplish this, it is essential that the system should digitalize image information from surveillance camera so that the system, itself, can be able to locate a object and to analyze the pattern of the object. Also, it is imperative that the system should have ability to operate a alarm and a entrance blocking system and to notify a situation to a security manager. Zooming a small object form a screen, however, requires a exact zooming ratio of the object and a shift of centric coordinate. In this paper, It is able to locate and observe closely a object from flexible background, regardless of the distance, by calculating a zooming ratio according to object moment, pan coordinate, and tilt coordinate.

Active Safety system is requested on the market of the medium and heavy duty commercial vehicle over 4.5ton beside the market of passenger car with advancement of the digital equipment proportionally. Unlike the passenger car, the mounting position of camera in case of the medium and heavy duty commercial vehicle is relatively high, it is disadvantaged conditions for lane recognition in contradiction to passenger car. In this work, we show the method of lane recognition through the Sobel edge, based on the spatial domain processing, Hough transform and color conversion correction. Also we suggest the low error method of front vehicles recognition in order to reduce the detection error through Haar-like, Adaboost, SVM and Template matching, etc., which are the object recognition methods by frontal camera vision. It is verified that the reliability over 98% on lane recognition is obtained through the vehicle test.

Passive tags are inferior to active tags in processing efficiency, so they have difficulty in largevolume processing. The proposed protocol reduces the volume of computation in passive tags and, at the same time, improves authentication for enhanced safety and security. That is, different from existing RFID protocols that return the same value even if an error happens when the reader reads a tag, the improved RFID security protocol returns a new value using a re-counter and processes the computation part of a tag in the reader or in a back.end system. Even if the information of a tag is acquired by an malicious way, it is not actual information but encrypted information that is not usable. In addition, even if tag information is read in sequence, it is changed in each read, so the protocol is safe from Location Tracking.
