디지털 영상 처리 분야에서 사람의 동작 인식은 다양하게 연구되고 있으며, 최근에는 깊이 영상을 이용한 방법이 매우 유용하게 사용되고 있다. 하지만 깊이 측정 센서의 위치와 각도에 따라 깊이 영상에서의 객체 크기나 형태가 왜곡되므로 사물 및 사람의 인식 과정에서 인식률이 감소하는 경우가 발생한다. 따라서 뛰어난 성능을 보장하기 위해서는 측정 센서에 의한 왜곡 보정은 반드시 고려되어야 할 사항이다. 본 논문에서는 동작 인식 시스템의 인식률을 향상시키기 위한 전처리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 깊이 측정 센서로부터 입력되는 깊이 정보를 실제 공간 (Real World)으로 변환하여 왜곡 보정을 수행한 후 투영 공간 (Projective World)으로 변환한다. 최종적으로 제안된 시스템을 OpenCV와 Window 프로그램을 사용하여 구현하였으며 Kinect를 사용하여 실시간으로 성능을 테스트하였다. 또한, Verilog-HDL을 사용하여 하드웨어 시스템을 설계하고, Xilinx Zynq-7000 FPGA Board에 탑재하여 검증하였다.

Corrosion sensors were devised to develop a system whereby the depth of chloride permeation from concrete surfaces can be monitored in cover concrete of reinforced concrete structures. For making sensor which is similar to rebar author uses Screen printer machines, Ag paste and Fe powder. Appropriate portion of Ag and Fe is over 1:2. The resistance of sensors increased as the degree of corrosion increased. And according to cover depth author suggests sensor system which has a demanded cover depth. It was therefore confirmed that the corrosion sensor can monitor chloride permeation by change of resistance.

3D depth perception has played an important role in robotics, and many sensory methods have also proposed for it. As a photodetector for 3D sensing, single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) is suggested due to sensitivity and accuracy. We have researched for applying a SPAD chip in our fusion system of time-of-fight (ToF) sensor and stereo camera. Our goal is to upsample of SPAD resolution using RGB stereo camera. Currently, we have 64 x 32 resolution SPAD ToF Sensor, even though there are higher resolution depth sensors such as Kinect V2 and Cube-Eye. This may be a weak point of our system, however we exploit this gap using a transition of idea. A convolution neural network (CNN) is designed to upsample our low resolution depth map using the data of the higher resolution depth as label data. Then, the upsampled depth data using CNN and stereo camera depth data are fused using semi-global matching (SGM) algorithm. We proposed simplified fusion method created for the embedded system.

Kinect sensor has two output data which are produced from red green blue (RGB) sensor and depth sensor, it is called color image and depth map, respectively. Although this device's prices are cheapest than the other devices for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction, we need extra work for reconstruct a smooth 3D data and also have semantic meaning. It happened because the depth map, which has been produced from depth sensor usually have a coarse and empty value. Consequently, it can be make artifact and holes on the surface, when we reconstruct it to 3D directly. In this paper, we present a method for solving this problem by using implicit surface representation. The key idea for represent implicit surface is by using radial basis function (RBF) and to avoid the trivial solution that the implicit function is zero everywhere, we need to defined on-surface point and off-surface point. Based on our simulation results using captured face as an input, we can produce smooth 3D face and fill the holes on the 3D face surface, since RBF is good for interpolation and holes filling. Modified anisotropic diffusion is used to produced smoothed surface.

The tillage depth control system is one of the most salient control system of tractor implements. A contact-type height sensor was developed to measure ground clearance for the tillage depth control. The height sensor was fabricated in this study, and its efficacy in a tillage depth control system was evaluated. Experiments were conducted in order to determine both static and dynamic detection characteristics of the height sensor using soil bin system on the sampled soil (sandy loam, sand, clay loam). The results of the static detection characteristics showed that in the case, sandy loam soil despite and clay loam soil at a wet basis moisture content of 30%, large measurement errors were observed a due to penetration of a plastic puck into the sampled soil. The results of the dynamic detection characteristics showed that the height sensor detected the distance from the ground of sandy loam soil despite the uneven nature of the ground surface and the changes in traveling speed $1km/h{\sim}5km/h$ at a wet basis moisture content of 10%.

Most autonomous mobile robots view things only in front of them. As a result, they may collide against objects moving from the side or behind. To overcome the problem we have built an Active Omni-directional Range Sensor that can obtain omnidirectional depth data by a laser conic plane and a conic mirror. In the navigation of the mobile robot, the proposed sensor system makes a laser conic plane by rotating the laser point source at high speed and achieves two dimensional depth map, in real time, once an image capture. The experimental results show that the proposed sensor system provides the best potential for navigation of the mobile robot in uncertain environment.

마이크로소프트에서 게임용 자연스러운 사용자 인터페이스를 위해 개발된 깊이 카메라인 키넥트 깊이 측정 센서는 컴퓨터 비전 분야에 있어 매우 유용한 도구이다. 키넥트의 깊이 측정 센서와 그 높은 프레임률로 인해, 본 논문에서는 키넥트 카메라를 사용해 거리 측정 시스템을 개발하였으며, 이를 이동 시 인간과 같이 사물을 감지하는데 주변 환경을 인지하기 위해 시각 시스템이 필요한 무인 차량에 시험하였다. 즉, 키넥트 깊이 측정 센서를 이용해 가시 범위 내 사물을 감지하고 사물에서 시각 센서의 거리 측정 시스템을 개선한다. 감지된 사물을 정밀하게 확인하여 실제 사물인지, 또는 픽셀 노즈(nose)인지 판단해 실제 사물이 아닌 픽셀을 무시함으로써 처리 시간을 줄인다. 이미지 처리를 위한 오픈 CV 라이브러리와 함께 깊이 분할 기법을 활용하여, 키넥트 카메라의 가시 범위 내 사물을 확인할 수 있으며, 해당 사물과 센서 사이의 거리를 측정할 수 있다. 시험 결과에 따르면 본 시스템은 저가 범위 센서인 키넥트 카메라가 장착된 자율주행차에 사용하여 감지된 사물로부터 측정 거리에 이르면 어플리케이션 방식에 따라 프로세스를 처리할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

For the underwater localization, acoustic sensor systems are widely used due to greater penetration properties of acoustic signals in underwater environments. On the other hand, the good penetration property causes multipath and interference effects in structured environment too. To overcome this demerit, a localization method using the attenuation of electro-magnetic(EM) waves was proposed in several literatures, in which distance estimation and 2D-localization experiments show remarkable results. However, in 3D-localization application, the estimation difficulties increase due to the nonuniform (doughnut like) radiation pattern of an omni-directional antenna related to the depth direction. For solving this problem, we added a depth sensor for improving underwater 3D-localization with the EM wave method. A micro scale pressure sensor is located in the mobile node antenna, and the depth data from the pressure sensor is calibrated by the curve fitting algorithm. We adapted the depth(z) data to 3D EM wave pattern model for the error reduction of the localization. Finally, some experiments were executed for 3D localization with the fast calculation and less errors.

This paper introduces the special eddy current sensor and its characteristic for bolt hole defect evaluation in gas turbine rotor. In the past, Fluorescent penetration inspection method was used for qualitative defect evaluation in gas turbine rotor bolt hole. This method can defect the bolt hole defect but can not evaluate the defect size. Nowadays, eddy current method is used quantitative defect evaluation due to advanced sensor design technology. And eddy current method is more time and cost saving than the old method. We developed bolt shape eddy current sensor for the rotor bolt hole defect detection and evaluation. The eddy current sensor moves to the bolt hole guided by screw nut and detects the defect on the bolt hole. The bolt hole mock-up and artificial defects were made and used for the signal detection & resolution analysis of eddy current sensor. The results show that signal detection capability is enough to detect 0.2 mm depth defect. And the resolution capability is enough to differentiate 02, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mm depth defect.

The depth information of an image is used in a variety of applications including 2D/3D conversion, multi-view extraction, modeling, depth keying, etc. There are various methods to acquire depth information, such as the method to use a stereo camera, the method to use the depth camera of flight time (TOF) method, the method to use 3D modeling software, the method to use 3D scanner and the method to use a structured light just like Microsoft's Kinect. In particular, the depth camera of TOF method measures the distance using infrared light, whereas TOF sensor depends on the sensitivity of optical light of an image sensor (CCD/CMOS). Thus, it is mandatory for the existing image sensors to get an infrared light image by bundling several pixels; these requirements generate a phenomenon to reduce the resolution of an image. This thesis proposed a measure to acquire a high-resolution image through gradual area movement while acquiring a low-resolution image through pixel bundling method. From this measure, one can obtain an effect of acquiring image information in which illumination intensity (lux) and resolution were improved without increasing the performance of an image sensor since the image resolution is not improved as resolving a low-illumination intensity (lux) in accordance with the gradual pixel bundling algorithm.
