The purpose of this study is to develop a crop-row detector which can be applied to an automatic row following control for cultivators or thinning machines. In this report, a possibility of new crop-row detecting method was discussed. This detecting method consists of two principal means. One is the hardware means to convert the two dimensional crop-row vision to the compacted one dimensional information. The conversion is achieved by a color line sensor and a rotating mirror. In order to extract crop-row , R and G signals of RGB color system are used. The locations of two different points on the target row are detected by this means. Another is the software means to estimate the offset value and the heading angle between the detector and the target row which can be assumed as a straight line. As a result of discussion, it was concluded that this detecting method would be accurate enough for practical use.

In this work, a simple and low cost sensor technique is proposed to test oil color in real time using in-line sensor. It is presented to use a ratio of intensity in red wavelength range to intensities of green and blue wavelength ranges (defined as a 'chromatic ratio') in order to estimate the oil color change. The proposed sensor technique is realized by irradiating a white LED as light source and a RGB color sensor as photoreceiver, and the chromatic ratio of various types of used oils are measured. The results show that chromatic ratio generally reflects chemical deterioration of oil, including oil oxidation and thermal degradation. It is concluded that the proposed sensor could be used for an effective oil monitoring technology.

Line tracking is a well defined method of mobile robot navigation. It is simple in concept, technically easy to implement, and already employed in many industrial sites. Among several different line tracking methods, magnetic sensing is widely used in practice. In comparison, vision-based tracking is less popular due mainly to its sensitivity to surrounding conditions such as brightness and floor characteristics although vision is the most powerful robotic sensing capability. In this paper, a vision-based robust path line detection technique is proposed for the navigation of a mobile robot assuming uncontrollable surrounding conditions. The technique proposed has four processing steps; color space transformation, pixel-level line sensing, block-level line sensing, and robot navigation control. This technique effectively uses hue and saturation color values in the line sensing so to be insensitive to the brightness variation. Line finding in block-level makes not only the technique immune from the error of line pixel detection but also the robot control easy. The proposed technique was tested with a real mobile robot and proved its effectiveness.

Satellite cameras are calibrated before launch in detail and in general, but it cannot be guaranteed that the geometry is not changing during launch and caused by thermal influence of the sun in the orbit. Modem satellite imaging systems are based on CCD-line sensors. Because of the required high sampling rate the length of used CCD-lines is limited. For reaching a sufficient swath width, some CCD-lines are combined to a longer virtual CCD-line. The images generated by the individual CCD-lines do overlap slightly and so they can be shifted in x- and y-direction in relation to a chosen reference image just based on tie points. For the alignment and difference in scale, control points are required. The resulting virtual image has only negligible errors in areas with very large difference in height caused by the difference in the location of the projection centers. Color images can be related to the joint panchromatic scenes just based on tie points. Pan-sharpened images may show only small color shifts in very mountainous areas and for moving objects. The direct sensor orientation has to be calibrated based on control points. Discrepancies in horizontal shift can only be separated from attitude discrepancies with a good three-dimensional control point distribution. For such a calibration a program based on geometric reconstruction of the sensor orientation is required. The approximations by 3D-affine transformation or direct linear transformation (DL n cannot be used. These methods do have also disadvantages for standard sensor orientation. The image orientation by geometric reconstruction can be improved by self calibration with additional parameters for the analysis and compensation of remaining systematic effects for example caused by a not linear CCD-line. The determined sensor geometry can be used for the generation? of rational polynomial coefficients, describing the sensor geometry by relations of polynomials of the ground coordinates X, Y and Z.

This paper proposes an edge adaptive color interpolation for an ultra-small HD-grade complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) video sensor in camera phones that can process 720-p/30-fps videos. Recently, proposed methods with great image quality perceptually reconstruct the green component and then estimate the red/blue component using the reconstructed green and neighbor red and blue pixels. However, these methods require the bulky memory line buffers in order to temporally store the reconstructed green components. The edge adaptive color interpolation method uses seven or nine patterns to calculate the six edge directions. At the same time, the threshold values are adaptively adjusted by the sum of the color values of the selected pixels. This method selects the suitable one among the patterns using two flowcharts proposed in this paper, and then interpolates the missing color values. For verification, we calculated the peak-signal-to-noise-ratio (PSNR) in the test images, which were processed by the proposed algorithm, and compared the calculated PSNR of the existing methods. The proposed color interpolation is also fabricated with the 0.18-${\mu}m$ CMOS flash memory process.

필름 스캐너는 기존의 광학 필름으로부터 고해상도와 고화질의 디지털 영상을 취득할 수 있는 입력 장치로, 최근 인쇄 및 편집 전문가들의 사용이 증대되고 있다. 그러나 광원 및 센서의 비선형적 특성으로 인해 원 필름 영상의 컬러와 스캔된 영상의 컬러가 일치하지 않는 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 필름 스캐너에서는 스캔된 디지털 영상에 대한 색 보정이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 스캔된 RGB 색공간의 데이터를 L$^{*}$ /a$^{*}$ /b$^{*}$ 색 공간으로 변환한 후 역전파 신경회로망을 이용하여 색 보정한다. 또한 TMS320C32 DSP 칩과 고해상도 라인 센서를 사용하여 R, G, B 각각 12 비트의 색분해도와 2400 dpi 급의 해상도를 갖는 필름 스캐너로 직접 구현하여 색 보정의 검증을 하였으며, 역 전파 신경망에 적용한 결과 평균 색 보정률이 79.8%로, 기존의 다항회귀법보다 43.5% 성능이 개선된 결과이다.

오늘날 멀티미디어의 응용이 크게 늘면서 영상 취득 장치의 수요가 증대되고 있다. 그중 필름 스캐너는 고해상도와 고화질의 디지털 영상을 취득할 수 있는 장치이다. 그러나 필름 스캐너에서는 광원 및 센서의 비선형적 특성으로 인해 원 필름 영상의 컬러와 스캔된 영상의 컬러가 정확히 일치하지 않는 문제가 발생한다. 따라서, 필름 스캐너에서는 스캔된 디지털 영상에 대한 색보정이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 스캔된 RGB 색공간의 데이터를 CIE L/sup */a/sup */b/sup */ 색공간으로 변환한 후 다항회귀를 이용하여 색보정한다. 또한, TMS320C32 DSP 칩과 고해상도 라인 센서를 사용하여 R, G, B 각각 12 비트의 색분해도와 2400 dpi 급의 해상도를 갖는 스캐너 하드웨어를 구현하였다. 제작한 스캐너의 색보정 성능을 평가하기 위한 실험 결과, 색보정 전에는 평균색차 (ΔE/sup *//sub ab/)가 13.48 이었던 것이 색보정 후에는 8.46으로 감소함을 확인하였다.

We experimented on AGV driving test with color CCD camera which is setup on it. This paper can be divided into two parts. One is image processing part to measure the condition of the guideline and AGV. The other is part that obtains the reference steering angle through using the image processing parts. First, 2 dimension image information derived from vision sensor is interpreted to the 3 dimension information by the angle and position of the CCD camera. Through these processes, AGV knows the driving conditions of AGV. After then using of those information, AGV calculates the reference steering angle changed by the speed of AGV. In the case of low speed, it focuses on the left/right error values of the guide line. As increasing of the speed of AGV, it focuses on the slop of guide line. Lastly, we are to model the above descriptions as the type of PID controller and regulate the coefficient value of it the speed of AGV.

In this paper, we have proposed the design and implementation for efficient Command Control and Alert(C2A). Information fusion must be done for knowing the state and identification of targets using multi-sensor. The threat priority of targets which are processed and identified by information fusion is calculated by air-defence operation logic. The threat targets are assigned to the valid and effective weapons by nearest neighborhood algorithm. Furthermore, the assignment result allows operators to effectively operate C2A by providing the operators with visualizing symbol color and the assignment pairing color line. We introduce the prototype which is implemented by the proposed design and algorithm.
