In the vision-based recovery phase, a terminal guidance for the blended-wing UAV requires visual information of high accuracy. This paper presents the light source target design and detection algorithm for vision-based UAV recovery. We propose a recovery target design with red and green LEDs. This frame provides the relative position between the target and the UAV. The target detection algorithm includes HSV-based segmentation, morphology, and blob processing. These techniques are employed to give efficient detection results in day and night net recovery operations. The performance of the proposed target design and detection algorithm are evaluated through ground-based experiments.

섬유의 자동 검사에서는 섬유 패턴과 연관이 있는 결함과 패턴과 연관이 없는 결함의 2 부류를 검사하게 된다 본 논문에서는 이들 결함의 검사를 2 단계에 거쳐서 하게 되는데, 섬유 패턴에 독립적인 결함을 프로파일 분석을 통해 우선 검출하고, 섬유 패턴에 종속적인 결함을 co-occurrence 행렬을 이용해 검출하는 기법을 소개한다. 이렇게 해서 검출된 결함들은 Back-propagation 알고리즘을 사용해 분류된다. 이 기법을 통한 실험에서 백색 유광택 타포린에서 발생하는 이물질유입 및 위사빠짐을 97.1%이상 검출할 수 있었다.

We suggest a method to detect rear car license plate of one more cars by using blobs. First, we try to search all of the blobs from an input image based on the difference between objects and background. Second, we obtain rectangles enclosed the blobs, and rectangle clusters by considering the properties, for example, the number, size, distance, position. Third, the cluster is verified by the Support Vector Machine. Even if we only use the adaptive binarization as the preprocessing, the detection ratio is very high.

최근 물리적 디바이스의 도움 없이 사람이 시스템과 인터랙션 할 수 있는 인간 친화적인 인간-기계 인터페이스가 많이 연구되고 있다. 이중 대표적인 것이 본 논문의 주제인 비전기반 제스처인식이다. 본 논문에서 우리는 설정된 가상세계의 객체와의 인터랙션을 위한 손 제스처들을 정의하고 이들을 인식할 수 있는 효과적인 방법론을 제안한다. 먼저, 웹캠으로 촬영된 저해상도 영상에서 사용자의 양손을 검출 및 추적하고, 손 영역을 분할하여 손 실루엣을 추출한다. 우리는 손 검출을 위해, RGB 공간에서 명암에 따라 두개의 타원형 모델을 이용하여 피부색을 모델링하였으며, 블랍매칭(blob matching) 방법을 이용하여 손 추적을 수행하였다. 우리는 플러드필(floodfill) 알고리즘을 이용해 얻은 손 실루엣의 행/열 모드 검출 및 분석을 통해 Thumb-Up, Palm, Cross 등 세 개의 손모양을 인식하였다. 그리고 인식된 손 모양과 손 움직임의 콘텍스트를 분석해서 다섯 가지 제스처를 인식할 수 있었다. 제안하는 제스처인식 방법론은 정확한 손 검출을 위해 카메라 앞에 주요 사용자가 한 명 등장한다는 가정을 하고 있으며 많은 실시간 데모를 통해 효율성 및 정확성이 입증되었다.

Vision based night-time vehicle detection has been an emerging research field in various advanced driver assistance systems(ADAS) and automotive vehicle as well as automatic head-lamp control. In this paper, we propose night-time vehicle detection method based on multi-class support vector machine(SVM) that consists of thresholding, labeling, feature extraction, and multi-class SVM. Vehicle light candidate blobs are extracted by local mean based thresholding following by labeling process. Seven geometric and stochastic features are extracted from each candidate through the feature extraction step. Each candidate blob is classified into vehicle light or not by multi-class SVM. Four different multi-class SVM including one-against-all(OAA), one-against-one(OAO), top-down tree structured and bottom-up tree structured SVM classifiers are implemented and evaluated in terms of vehicle detection performances. Through the simulations tested on road video sequences, we prove that top-down tree structured and bottom-up tree structured SVM have relatively better performances than the others.

This paper presents face features detection and a new physiological neuro-fuzzy learning method by using two-dimensional variances based on variation of gray level and by learning for a statistical distribution of the detected face features. This paper reports a method to learn by not using partial face image but using global face image. Face detection process of this method is performed by describing differences of variance change between edge region and stationary region by gray-scale variation of global face having featured regions including nose, mouse, and couple of eyes. To process the learning stage, we use the input layer obtained by statistical distribution of the featured regions for performing the new physiological neuro-fuzzy algorithm.

The formation degree of sustain (ITO pattern) decides quality of PDP (Plasma Display Panel). For this reason, it makes efforts in searching defects more than 30 un as 100%. Now, the existing inspection is dependent upon naked eye or microscope in off-line PDP manufacturing process. In this study developed prototype inspection system of PDP 170 glass is based on line-scan mechanism. Developed system creates information that detects and sorts kinds of defect automatically. Designed inspection technology adopts multi-vision method by slip-beam formation for the minimum of inspection time and detection algorithm is embodied in detection ability of developed system. Designed algorithm had to make good use of kernel matrix that draws up an approach to geometry. A characteristic of defects, as pin hole, substance, protrusion, are extracted from blob analysis method. Defects, as open, short, spots and et al, are distinguished by line type inspection algorithm. In experiment, we could have ensured ability of inspection that can be detected with reliability of up to 95% in about 60 seconds.

The formation degree of sustain (ITO pattern) determines the quality of a PDP (Plasma Display Panel). Thus, in the present study, we attempt to detect 100% of the defects that are larger than $30{\mu}m$. Currently, the inspection method in the PDP manufacturing process is dependent upon the naked eye or a microscope in off-line mode. In this study, a prototype inspection system for PDP ITO patterned glass is developed. The developed system, which is based on a line-scan mechanism, obtains information on the defects and sorts the defects by type automatically. The developed inspection system adopts a multi-vision method using slit-beam formation for minimum inspection time and the detection algorithm is embodied in the detection ability. Characteristic defects such as pin holes, substances, and protrusions are extracted using the blob analysis method. Defects such as open, short, spots and others are distinguished by the line type inspection algorithm. It was experimentally verified that the developed inspection system can detect defects with reliability of up to 95% in about 60 seconds for the 42-inch PDP panel.

Red ginsengs are inspected manually by examining those in the dark room with back light illumination. Manual inspection is often influenced by physical condition of inspectors. Sometimes. the best grade, heaven. has some inner holes though it was inspected by a specialist. In order to resolve this problem, this study was performed to develop image processing algorithm to detect the inner holes in the x-ray image of ginseng. Because of little gray value difference between background and ginseng in the image. simple thresholding method was not appropriate. Modified watershed algorithm was used to differentiate the inner holes from background and normal ginseng body. Inner hole edge region detected by watershed algorithm consists of many number of blobs including normal portions. With line profile analysis with scanning one line at a time beginning the starting point. it shelved two peaks both ends representing extracting each blobs. in which setting threshold value as of lower peak value enabled us to obtain inner hole image. Once this procedure has to be done till the finishing point it is completing inner hole detection for one blob. Thus. conducting ail blobs by this procedure is completing inner detection of one whole ginseng. Detection results of the inner holes fer various size of red ginsengs were good even though there was small detection variation. 6.2%. according to position of x-rat tube.

본 논문에서는 다시점 카메라 환경에서 비디오 압축 도메인의 이동체 검출 및 추적 방법을 제안한다. 비디오 압축 비트열로부터 추출된 움직임 벡터와 블록 모드를 기반으로 이동블록 검증 및 라벨링, 이웃 blob 결합 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한, 단일시점 및 다시점 환경에서 이동체의 일시 정지, 교차, 겹침시에도 지속적인 추적이 가능한 일정 시간 구간내 이동체 정보 갱신 기법을 제안한다. 기준 카메라 화면에 나타나지 않는 이동체는 다른 카메라 화면의 이동체 위치로부터 기준 카메라 화면상 좌표로 변환하여 참조하였다. 제안 기법의 성능은 부호기의 움직임 벡터 정밀도에 의존적인데, 두 대의 카메라 환경에서 H.264 JM15.1 압축 비트열로부터 복호화 없이 평균 89%와 84%의 검출률과 추적률을 보였다. 또한, 물체의 일시 정지, 교차, 겹침시에도 지속적인 이동체 검출 및 추적이 가능하며, 단일시점 환경에 비해 다시점 환경에서 평균 6%의 검출률과 7%의 추적률 개선을 확인할 수 있었다.
