  • Motion vector is that comparing a frame between previous frame and current one about how much moved. Using this motion vector, if move the image object of current frame to former frame, it could be corrected to shake from hand and camera shaking. On this thesis, compared efficiency of block matching using SAD(Sum of Absolute Difference) equation as picking out the motion vector, matching using phase correlation, matching using feature point, block matching using bitplane.

  • This study proposes a closed-loop shaping control method with $H_{\infty}$ optimization for optical image stabilization (OIS) in mobile phone cameras. The image stabilizer is composed of a horizontal stage constrained by ball bearings and actuated by the magnetic force from voice coil motors. The displacement of the stage is measured by Hall effect sensors. From the OIS frequency response experiment, the transfer function models of the stage and Hall effect sensor were identified. The weight functions were determined considering the tracking performance, noise attenuation, and stability with considerable margins. The $H_{\infty}$ optimal controller was executed using closed-loop shaping and limiting the controller order, which should be less than 6 for real-time implementation. The control algorithm was verified experimentally and proved to operate as designed.

  • The inverted pendulum is a typical example of unstable systems and has been used for verification of designed control systems. It is also very popular in control education in laboratories, serving as a good example to show the utility of the state space approach to the controller design. This paper shows two kinds of experiment using inverted pendulum: one is the stabilization of a single spherical inverted pendulum by a plane manipulator using visual feedback, and the other is the state transfer control of a double pendulum. In the former experiment, the feedback stabilization using a CCD camera has major importance as an example of controller implementation with non-contact measurement. The latter involves the standard stabilizing regulation method and nonlinear control techniques. The details of the experimental systems, the control algorithms and the experimental results will be given.

  • In this paper, we present two types of digital image stabilization (DIS) schemes for mobile video communications. In the first scheme, the DIS system, which is used as a preprocessor of the video encoder, compensates the camera’s undesirable shakes before encoding. This method can reduce the bit rate of encoded video sequence by attenuating the prediction error to be encoded. In the second proposed scheme, the DIS system is coupled with the video decoder. The second scheme uses the K-means clustering algorithm to estimate the camera motion using motion vectors decoded from the received video stream. Simulation results show that the first scheme improves coding efficiency, while the second scheme is computationally efficient since it does not require motion estimation.

  • The combustion characteristics of a partially premixed flame in a dump combustor were studied to determine the effects of hydrogen enrichment in propane. Bluff-body was used for flame stabilization. Fuel mixtures containing a hydrogen mole fraction ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 were burnt at ambient pressure within a quartz chamber. Tests were carried out keeping the total reactant flow rate by adjusting the fuel and air flow rates. The fluctuations of pressure were measured by piezoelectric pressure sensor. The instantaneous flame structure and OH chemiluminescence images were described by High-speed Intensified Charged Coupled Device (HICCD) camera and Intensified Charged Coupled Device (ICCD) camera. The present results show that hydrogen enrichment in fuel changed the location of primary reaction zone from inner recirculation zone to turbulent shear layer and pressure signal. The reason is that chemical aspects take precedence over flow aspects in the hydrogen-enriched flame.

  • This Paper Presents a Method for Stitching a Large Number of Images Recorded by a Large Number of Individual Users Through a Cellular Phone Camera at a Venue. In Contrast to 360 Camera Solutions that Use Existing Fixed Rigs, these Conditions must Address New Challenges Such as Time Synchronization, Repeated Transformation Matrix Calculations, and Camera Sensor Mismatch Correction. In this Paper, we Solve this Problem by Updating the Transformation Matrix Using Time Synchronization Method Using Audio, Sensor Mismatch Removal by Color Transfer Method, and Global Operation Stabilization Algorithm. Experimental Results Show that the Proposed Algorithm Shows better Performance in Terms of Computation Speed and Subjective Image Quality than that of Screen Stitching.

  • A mobile surveillance robot is defined as a surveillance robot system that is mounted on a mobile platform and is used to protect public areas such as airports or harbors from invaders. The mobile surveillance robot that is mounted on a mobile platform consists of a gun module, a camera system module, an embedded control system, and AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference System). It has two axis control systems for controlling its elevation and azimuth. In order to obtain stable images for targeting invaders, this system requires a stabilizer to compensate any disturbance due to vehicle motion. In this study, a virtual model of a mobile surveillance robot has been created and ADAMS/Matlab simulations have been performed to verify the suitability of the proposed stabilization algorithm. Further, the suitability of the stabilization algorithm has also been verified using a mock-up of the mobile surveillance robot and a 6-DOF (Degree Of Freedom) motion simulator.

  • In this paper, we propose a new method for stabilizing the image captured from a camera mounted on a buoy robot. In this study, in order to solve the problem of cumulative errors and noise produced by a general gyro sensor measuring the orientation angle of the buoy robot, we propose new method for stabilizing the image. In this method, image processing techniques are combined with a newly designed target mounting mechanism that adapts to wave fluctuations. New target extraction and angle estimation techniques are introduced, along with the new mounting mechanism used for the camera and the target, which produce a stabilized image even if the buoy robot is on fluctuating waves.

  • We studied the method which would determine the appropriate additive damping factor for the damped least sequres(DLS) optimization. We calculated eigenvalues of the product of the Jacobian matrix of error function by using the singular value decomposition(SVD) method. While suitable damping factor was appiled to the additive DLS by using SVD and Gaussian elimination method, the convergence and stability of the optimization process were examined in a triplet-type camera lens-system where the condition number is well conditioned. We compared the convergence and stability of merit function when median, maximum and minimum of eigenvalues were used as a damping factor in the optimization process. When damping factor is median of eigenvalue, the convergence and stability of merit function are more excellent than in the case of two other eigenvalues. Thus, we adopt the median of eigenvalues as an appropriate damping factor. Next, by using SVD and Gaussian elimination method, we compound the convergence and stability of optimization process for triplet-type camera lens-system design. In these two method; triplet-type camera lens-system in which condition number is well conditioned, has little improvement with the combination of DLS and SVD.

  • Due to light condition or shadow around camera, acquired image sequence is often degraded by intensity fluctuation. This artifact is called luminance flicker. As the luminance flicker corrupts the performance of motion estimation or object detection, it should be corrected before further processing. In this paper, we analyze the flicker generation model and propose the new algorithm for flicker reduction. The proposed algorithm considers gain and offset parameter separately, and stabilizes the luminance fluctuation based on these parameters. We show the performance of the proposed method by testing on the sequence with artificially added luminance flicker and real sequence with object motion.
