This paper proposes a method to insert virtual objects into a real video stream based on feature tracking and camera pose estimation from a set of single-camera video frames. To insert or modify 3D shapes to target video frames, the transformation from the 3D objects to the projection of the objects onto the video frames should be revealed. It is shown that, without a camera calibration process, the 3D reconstruction is possible using multiple images from a single camera under the fixed internal camera parameters. The proposed approach is based on the simplification of the camera matrix of intrinsic parameters and the use of projective geometry. The method is particularly useful for augmented reality applications to insert or modify models to a real video stream. The proposed method is based on a linear parameter estimation approach for the auto-calibration step and it enhances the stability and reduces the execution time. Several experimental results are presented on real-world video streams, demonstrating the usefulness of our method for the augmented reality applications.

By using beam-projectors, we can easily configure a big image system. In the process of installing beam-projectors, however manual steps are essentially needed to perform a calibration such that distortions can be minimized. In order to automatically perform the correction of distortion, in this paper we propose a new auto-calibration method for beam-projector, which is based on Zigbee and can be easily implemented by simple hardware and software. In the proposed scheme, we recognize the required image project area by using Zigbee-based sensor module, and then we can obtain the best beam projection even in the case that the screen is badly twisted.

We propose a pixel-level automatic calibration circuit scheme that initializes a capacitive fingerprint sensor LSI to eliminate the influence of the surface condition and environment, which is degraded by dirt during long-time use, process variation and ambient temperature. The sample chip is fabricated on $0.35{\mu}m$ standard CMOS process. The calibration is executed by optimizing the reference voltage in each pixel to make the sensor signals of all pixels the same. The calibration control circuit is composed of the sensing circuit and charge pumping circuit, and calibrates all pixels in a short time. 16-level gray scale fingerprint images can be captured to increase the accuracy of identification. This confirms that the scheme is effective for capturing consistent clear images during long-time use.

전력 계통의 사고 검출과 사고예측으로 계통의 안정성과 신뢰성을 확보하여 전력계통의 최적 운전을 유지하게 하기위해서는 전력계통의 가장 기본 적인 요소인 전압, 전류, 전력, 주파수 및 위상의 정확한 계측이 필요하게 되는데, 넓은 범위의 입력신호를 AD 변환 범위로 변환하게 되면 작은 입력신호에 대해서는 AD로 너무 작은 신호로 변환되어 정확한 계측을 할 수가 없게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 입력 신호의 크기에 따라 증폭비율을 자동적으로 선택할 수 있는 방법과 PT나 CT의 특성에 따른 신호 왜곡과 AD 컨버터의 비선형성에 따른 신호 계측의 오차를 줄일 수 있는 캘리브레이션 방법을 소개하고자 한다.

In this paper, a design of low power Current-Reuse Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) which has wide tuning range about 1.95 GHz ~ 3.15 GHz is presented. Class-C type is applied to improve phase noise and 2-Step Auto Amplitude Calibration (AAC) is used for minimizing the imbalance of differential VCO output voltage which is main issue of Current-Reuse VCO. The mismatch of differential VCO output voltage is presented about 1.5mV ~ 4.5mV. This mismatch is within 0.6 % compared with VCO output voltage. Proposed Current-Reuse VCO is designed using CMOS $0.13{\mu}m$ process. Supply voltage is 1.2 V and current consumption is 2.6 mA at center frequency. The phase noise is -116.267 dBc/Hz at 2.3GHz VCO frequency at 1MHz offset. The layout size is $720{\times}580{\mu}m^2$.

In order to assess hydrologic and nonpoint source pollutant behaviors in a watershed with Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model, the accuracy evaluation of SWAT model should be conducted prior to the application of it to a watershed. When calibrating and validating hydrological components of SWAT model, the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient (EI) has been widely used. However, the EI value has been known as it is affected sensitively by big numbers among the range of numbers. In this study, a Web-based flow clustering EI estimation system using K-means clustering algorithm was developed and used for SWAT hydrology evaluation. Even though the EI of total streamflow was high, the EI values of hydrologic components (i.e., direct runoff and baseflow) were not high. Also when the EI values of flow group I and II (i.e., low and high value group) clustered from direct runoff and baseflow were computed, respectively, the EI values of them were much lower with negative EI values for some flow group comparison. The SWAT auto-calibration tool estimated values also showed negative EI values for most flow group I and II of direct runoff and baseflow although EI value of total streamflow was high. The result obtained in this study indicates that the SWAT hydrology component should be calibrated until all four positive EI values for each flow group of direct runoff and baseflow are obtained for better accuracy both in direct runoff and baseflow.

This paper proposes a self-calibration method of robots those are used in industrial assembly lines. The proposed method is a position compensation using laser sensor and vision camera. Because the laser sensor is cross type laser sensor which can scan a horizontal and vertical line, it is efficient way to detect a feature of vehicle and winding shape of vehicle's body. For position compensation of 3-Dimensional axis, we applied block interpolation method. For selecting feature point, pattern matching method is used and 3-D position is selected by Euclidean distance mapping between 462 feature values and evaluated feature point. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, experiments are performed in real industrial vehicle assembly line. In results, robot's working point can be displayed 3-D points. These points are used to diagnosis error of position and reselecting working point.

In this paper, radar scattering coefficients of earth surfaces such as grass fields, rice fields and bare soil surfaces are measured by using an auto-mounted network analyzer-based scatterometer system. The scatterometer system is calibrated both the magnitude and phase in order to obtain the accurate Mueller matrices of the earth surfaces. Then the accurate scattering matrices can be obtain from the Mueller matrices. The degree of correlation $\alpha$ is also obtained by this procedure and is used to correct AirSAR data which are not calibrated with phase variations.

CG and Photo-realistic image composition in the ocean scenes is frequently used in movies and TV advertisement. But it is very difficult task because it's impossible to use calibration tool in outdoor environment or to use auto-calibration algorithm using natural features like KLT(Kanade Lucas Tomasi feature tracker) from the ocean scene. We propose a simple, effective method for solving camera motion using previous knowledge about background structure. We applied our method to the production of a commercial movie, 'Hanbando' and the result was satisfactory.
