The problem of tracking moving objects in a video stream is discussed in this pa-per. We discussed the popular technique of optical flow for moving object detection. Optical flow finds the velocity vectors at each pixel in the entire video scene. However, optical flow based methods require complex computations and are sensitive to noise. In this paper, we proposed a new method based on the Hough transform and on voting accumulation for improving the accuracy and reducing the computation time. Further, we applied the Boo-lean based edge detector for edge detection. Edge detection and segmentation are used to extract the moving objects in the image sequences and reduce the computation time of the CHT. The Boolean based edge detector provides accurate and very thin edges. The difference of the two edge maps with thin edges gives better localization of moving objects. The simulation results show that the proposed method improves the accuracy of finding the optical flow vectors and more accurately extracts moving objects' information. The process of edge detection and segmentation accurately find the location and areas of the real moving objects, and hence extracting moving information is very easy and accurate. The Combinatorial Hough Transform and voting accumulation based optical flow measures optical flow vectors accurately. The direction of moving objects is also accurately measured.

This paper presents an active auxiliary edge-resonant DC link snubber with a ringing surge damper and a three-phase voltage source type zero voltage soft-switching inverter with the resonat snubber treated here for the AC servo motor driver applications. The operation of the active auxiliary edge-resonant DC link snubber circuit with PWM voltage is described, together with the practical design method to select its circuit parameters. The three-phase voltage source type soft-switching inverter with a single edge-resonant DC link snubber treated here is evaluated and discussed for the small-scale permanent magnet (PM) type-AC servo motor driver from an experimental point of view. In addition to these, the AC motor stator current and its motor speed response for the proposed three-phase soft-switching inverter employing Intelligent Power Module(IPM) based on IGBTS are compared with those of the conventional three-phase hard-switching inverter using IPM. The practical effectiveness of the three-phase soft-switching inverter-fed permanent magnet type AC motor speed tracking servo driver is proven on the basis of the common mode current in a novel type three-phase soft-switching inverter-fed AC motor side and the conductive noise on the mains terminal interface voltage as compared with those of the conventional three-phase hard-switching inverter-fed permanent magnet type AC servo motor driver for the speed tracking applications.

본 논문에서는 개선된 챔퍼매칭(Chamfer Matching)으로 2차원 평면 객체 모델을 추적하는 방법을 제시한다. 기존 챔퍼매칭은 배경이 복잡할 경우 객체와 영상간의 유사도를 계산하기 어려운 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 챔퍼매칭을 에지와 코너특징을 사용해 복잡한 배경에서도 유사도를 계산할 수 있도록 개선한다. 개선된 챔퍼매칭은 기하(Geometric) 모델을 추적하는 파티클 필터(Particle Filter)의 우도함수로 사용된다. 기하모델은 2차원 평면 객체를 에지 및 코너 특징점과 포즈로 모델링하며, 색상 변화에 안정적인 객체서술자이다. 파티클 필터는 칼만필터 보다 더 비선형적인 추적 방법이다. 따라서 제안된 방법은 복잡한 환경에서 객체를 추적하기 위해 기하모델 및 파티클 필터, 개선된 챔퍼 매칭을 사용한다. 실험 결과에서는 제안 방법의 강건함을 기존 방법의 비교를 통해 나타낸다.

본 연구에서는 Optical Flow Method의 추적 성능을 향상시키기 위한 전처리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 Median Filter, Binarization, Morphology, Canny Edge, Contour Detecting 및 Approximation Method를 기반으로 개발되었다. Optical Flow 추적 성능 향상 여부를 평가하기 위해 Lucas-Kanade Optical Flow 알고리즘에 개발된 전처리 알고리즘을 적용하고, 전처리 알고리즘이 적용되지 않은 Optical Flow 영상과 추적 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 또한, Median Filter와 Histogram Equalization으로 구성된 기존 전처리 알고리즘과의 결과 비교를 통해, 개발된 전처리 알고리즘의 추적 성능 향상여부를 평가하였다. 실험결과, 전처리 알고리즘을 적용하지 않은 영상과 기존 전처리 알고리즘을 적용한 영상은 특징영역의 분할이 이루어지지 않아, Optical Flow의 추적 정확도가 매우 낮게 나타났다. 반면, 개발된 전처리 알고리즘을 적용한 영상에서는 외곽선이 내외부로 세분화되고, 외곽선 트리가 구성됨에 따라 Optical Flow의 추적 성능이 매우 높게 나타났다.

In this paper, we propose an efficient method that is tracking an object in real time using particle filter and adaptive observation model. When tracking object, it happens object shape variation by camera or object movement in variety environments. The traditional method has an error of tracking from these variation, because it has fixed observation model about the selected object by the user in the initial frame. In order to overcome these problems, we propose a method that updates the observation model by calculating the similarity between the used observation model and the eight-way of edge model from the current position. If the similarity is higher than the threshold value, tracking the object using updated observation model to reset observation model. On the contrary to this, the algorithm which consists of a process is to maintain the used observation model. Finally, this paper demonstrates the performance of the stable tracking through comparison with the traditional method by using a number of experimental data.

Image processing was used to recognize parts at various disposition. Non-transpatent tachometer panel for automobile and semi-transparent panel have been used as test specimen. Laplacian filter and various threshold values have been applied for preprocessing and edge following algorithm has been applied. Series of length data between edges have been generated from each image and compared using cross correlation coefficient. The result using cross correlation coefficient. The result using both edge following and cross correlation coefficient was proven to be the best fit for the proposed parts.

This paper resents a discrete-time model of an edge-following with accommodation force control. Since an irregular workpiece shape causes disturbances to the system while following an edge, the use of preview control is proposed to improve the system performance. The preview control employs future information of the workpiece contour shape, and it can be developed by LQ-optimal control principles. This study provides a general method how to utilize the local future information obtained by the finite preview to minimize an optimality criterion evaluated over a problem duration. The force controller is designed based on the preview control scheme, and then implemented on a VME-based computer. Experimental results using an industrial robot show that the preview control system achieves faster tracking speed and better force regulation than the conventional nonpreview control system.

We developed an machine vision method for navigation control of a traveling automatic guided vehicle(AGV) on desired trajectory with guided marks. The formulated EDF accumulates the edge magnitude for edge directions. The EDF has distinctive peak points at the vicinity of trajectory directions due to the directional and the positional continuities of desired trajectory. Examining the EDF by its shape parameters of the local maxima and symmetry axis results in identifying whether or not change in traveling direction of an AGV has occurred. Simulation results show that the presented method is useful for navigation control of AGV.
