When a construction company builds a high structure, many piles should be driven into the ground by a hammer whose weight is 7,000 Kg in order to make the ground under the structure safe and strong. So, it is essential to determine whether a pile is penetrated into the ground enough to support the weight of the structure since ground characteristics at different locations are different each other. This paper proposes a visual measurement system for pile rebound and penetration movement including vibration using a high-speed line-scan camera and a specially designed mark to recognize two-dimensional motion parameters of the mark using only a line-scan camera. A mark stacking white and black right-angled triangles is used for the measurement, and movement information for vertical distance, horizontal distance and rotational angle is determined simultaneously

The technology of estimating a movement trajectory using a monocular camera such as a smartphone and composing a surrounding 3D image is key not only in indoor positioning but also in the metaverse service. The most important thing in this technique is to estimate the coordinates of the moving camera center. In this paper, a new algorithm for geometrically estimating the moving distance is proposed. The coordinates of the 3D object point are obtained from the first and second photos, and the movement distance vector is obtained using the matching feature points of the first and third photos. Then, while moving the coordinates of the origin of the third camera, a position where the 3D object point and the feature point of the third picture coincide is obtained. Its possibility and accuracy were verified by applying it to actual continuous image data.

$\textbullet$In case of using overhead camera system, mobile robot moves under static working area. $\textbullet$Mobile robot must use onboard camera system to work under wide working area. $\textbullet$Mobile robot must have wireless LAN to remove restriction of movement. $\textbullet$Onboard camera system must have wireless LAN environment. $\textbullet$We develop embedded vision platform using onboard camera.

In the field of camera motion research, it is widely held that the position (movement) and pose (rotation) of cameras are correlated and cannot be independently separated. A new equation based on inner product is proposed here to independently separate the position and pose. It is proved that the position and pose are not correlated and the equation is applied to estimation of the camera exterior parameters using a real image and 3D data.

This paper describes a new feature based tracking system that can track moving objects with a pan-tilt camera. We extract corner features of the scene and tracks the features using filtering, The global motion energy caused by camera movement is eliminated by finding the maximal matching position between consecutive frames using Pyramidal template matching. The region of moving object is segmented by clustering the motion trajectories and command the pan-tilt controller to follow the object such that the object will always lie at the center of the camera. The proposed system has demonstrated good performance for several video sequences.

Multiple object association is an important capability in visual surveillance system with multiple cameras. In this paper, we introduce locally initiating line-based object association with the parallel projection camera model, which can be applicable to the situation without the common (ground) plane. The parallel projection camera model supports the camera movement (i.e. panning, tilting and zooming) by using the simple table based compensation for non-ideal camera parameters. We propose the threshold distance based homographic line generation algorithm. This takes account of uncertain parameters such as transformation error, height uncertainty of objects and synchronization issue between cameras. Thus, the proposed algorithm associates multiple objects on demand in the surveillance system where the camera movement dynamically changes. We verify the proposed method with actual image frames. Finally, we discuss the strategy to improve the association performance by using the temporal and spatial redundancy.

A simple computer vision technology to measure the middle-ranged depth with a mono camera and a plain mirror is proposed. The proposed system is structured with the rotating mirror in front of the fixed mono camera. In contrast to the previous stereo vision system in which the disparity of the closer object is larger than that of the distant object, the pixel movement caused by the rotating mirror is bigger for the pixels of the distant object in the proposed system. Being inspired by such distinguished feature in the proposed system, the principle of the depth measurement based on the relation of the pixel movement and the distance of object is investigated. Also, the factors to influence the precision of the measurement are analysed. The benefits of the proposed system are low price and less chance of occlusion. The robustness for practical usage is an additional benefit of the proposed vision system.

This paper presents an adaptive active tracking system with sector based scanning for a single PTZ camera. Dividing sectors on an image reduces the search space to shorten selection time so that the system can cover many targets. Upon the selection of a target, the system estimates the target trajectory to predict the zooming location with a finite amount of time for camera movement. Advanced estimation techniques using probabilistic reason suffer from the unknown object dynamics and the inaccurate estimation compromises the zooming level to prevent tracking failure. The proposed system uses the simple piecewise estimation with a few frames to cope with fast moving objects and/or slow camera movements. The target is tracked in multiple steps and the zooming time for each step is determined by maximizing the zooming level within the expected variation of object velocity and detection. The number of zooming steps is adaptively determined according to target speed. In addition, the iterative estimation of a zooming location with camera movement time compensates for the target prediction error due to the difference between speeds of a target and a camera. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by simulations and real time experiments.

Optical image stabilization is a device to compensate the camera movement in the exposure time. The compensation is implemented by movable lens or image sensor that adjusts the optical path to the camera movement. Generally, the camera is moved by a handshake, thus the handshake is considered as an external disturbance. However, there are many other vibrations such as car and train vibration. In this paper, the optical image stabilization system in high frequency region is presented. Notch filter and lead compensator are designed and applied to improve the stability without changing the actuator. To verify the performance of the optical image stabilization system in high frequency region, the experiment equipment with moving object is established. It is confirmed that the opticalimage stabilization system does not diverge at the resonance frequency.
