  • This paper deals with the problem of moving object detection and location in computer vision. We describe a new object-dependent motion analysis method for tracking target in an image sequence taken from a moving platform. We tackle these tasks with three steps. First, we make an active contour model of a target in order to build some of low-energy points, which are called kernels. Then we detect interest points in two windows called tracking windows around a kernel respectively. At the third step, we decide the correspondence of those detected interest points between tracking windows by the probabilistic relaxation method In this algorithm, the detecting process is iterative and begins with the detection of all potential correspondence pair in consecutive image. Each pair of corresponding points is then iteratively recomputed to get a globally optimum set of pairwise correspondences.

  • Sub-assembly in ship manufacturing is a sequence of filet joint welding of stiffeners on metal panels and the process is different depending on companies. In this paper, we introduce a new intelligent robotic system of the sub-assembly process in Samsung Heavy Industry, where one shift of 22m * 9m workspace includes one to ten panels and each panel includes up to 10 stiffeners. The inherent problems such as several hundreds of different panels, unstructured task environment and the large scale do not allow a fixed automation, but needs highly intelligent versatile automation. The robotic system is composed of four 14DOF macro-mini robots and a task recognition system. Application of this system has verified the task specification such as low temperature environment(-10.deg. C) and productivity is satisfied successfully.

  • The most important function in distribution automation system (DAS) is the service restoration. KEPCO's current service restoration provides a very effective restoration service. However, it has been developed without the consideration of unexpected abnormal conditions that may occur while processing the sequence of switching operations. The objective of this paper is to provide practical service restoration schemes under consideration of abnormal conditions. The proposed service restoration schemes have been integrated to a branch office (B/O) in KEPCO. The proposed method strongly supports the conventional service restoration and adds to its value.

  • As design a network system that should command and response to do tasks by PLC, to make factory automation for being distributed facilities which are not guaranteed procedure, through polling method, commands are send orderly by PLC and responses are answered by each sub-unit. It make a guarantee of sequence and drive a master-slave operation in network. This method help to distribute procedure systems and make possible dividing tasks to each unit. To make this method, network protocol's format have Master or Slave ID and tasking data and Master's command or Slave unit's report. In network interpret algorithm, skip algorithm are included and it make guarantee of protecting data though network are in noise. Data that are made by this method are send to PC to transmit long-distance user by internet.

  • This paper proposes a two dimensional behavior analysis method for fish in a water tank based on the ARX method and the Kalman filter algorithm using image processing technology. In modeling the behavior of fish, the input is denoted as the environmental change and uses M-sequence. The output is expressed by the partnership between fish. The behavior model of individual fish is identified by the ARX method. It is then estimated by the Kalman filter algorithm. Finally, the fish behavior is analyzed by FFT. To prove the effectiveness of the pro-posed algorithm, it is applied to two tilapias in a water tank with dimensions of 100cm$\times$100cm$\times$50cm. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through ARX identification, estimation of Kalman filter, and FFT analysis.

  • This study proposes a sequence of procedures to extract building boundaries and planar patches through segmentation of rasterized lidar data. Although previous approaches to building extraction have been shown satisfactory, there still exist needs to increase the degree of automation. The methodologies proposed in this study are as follows: Firstly, lidar data are rasterized into grid form in order to exploit its rapid access to neighboring elevations and image operations. Secondly, propagation of errors in raw data is taken into account for in assessing the quality of gradients-driven properties and further in choosing suitable parameters. Thirdly, extraction of planar patches is conducted through a sequence of processes: histogram analysis, least squares fitting, and region merging. Experimental results show that the geometric components of building models could be extracted by the proposed approach in a streamlined way.

  • We propose a path planning method to improve the productivity of AOI (automated optical inspection) machines in PCB (printed circuit board) assembly lines. The path-planning problem is the optimization problem of finding inspection clusters and the visiting sequence of cameras to minimize the overall working time. A unified method is newly proposed to determine the inspection clusters and visiting sequence simultaneously. We apply a hybrid genetic algorithm to solve the highly complicated optimization problem. Comparative simulation results are presented to verify the usefulness of the proposed method.

  • When we perform the test related to the power distribution system such as artificial fault test, protective coordination test, distribution automation test in short length test line, Lumped Constant Circuit, a kind of variable impedance, should be attached to the test line in order to make it equivalent to a real line in length electrically. In this paper we designed the positive sequence and zero sequence Lumped Constant Circuit with optimized inductor and resister for the modification of long, 16km, distribution line, when they are attached to the short, 4km, distribution test line.

  • The welding distortion of a hull structure in the shipbuilding industry is inevitable at each assembly stage. The geometric inaccuracy caused by the distortion tends to preclude the introduction of automation and mechanization. Thus, additional man-hours are needed for the adjusting work in the assembly stage. To overcome this problem, a distortion control method should be applied. For this purpose, it is necessary to develop an accurate prediction method that can explicitly account for the influence of various factors on the welding distortion. In order to minimize the weld-induced residual deformation, this paper proposes the optimum welding sequence as a method for distortion control. The validity of this method has been substantiated by a number of numerical simulations and experiments.
