In this study, we developed the drowziness prevention system to detect the driver's drowziness and relieve the driver. A computer vision method was proposed to detect the driver's drowziness. We extracted the eyes and mouth in the face image and tracked the positions from the image sequencies in real time. The eye blink duration and yawning was used as the parameters of drowziness. Wehn the drowziness state of a driver is detected, the driver is refreshed by the scent generator and the alarm. Also, the driver's bio-signal is acquired and analysed the vigilance state.

This paper presents a new method for illumination normalization in eye detection. Based on the retinex image formation model, we employ the discrete wavelet transform to remove the lighting effect in face image data. The final result based on the proposed method shows the better performance in detecting eyes compared with previous work.

This study analyzes the visual image and the symbolic image of the 'New Woman' main female characters' costumes in three films: , , and , set in the Korean Empire Period and filmed in the last 10 years. The findings are as follows. First, on the visual image by formative characteristics, Gibson girl style was reflected in Western costume design. Korean costume design is based on a traditional style (or modified in some parts). Second, the three films have the same historical background on the visual image by the fidelity of historical research; however, the fidelity of historical research differs and varies with the personality of characters or situations in the films. Third, all three films share the symbolic image by characteristics of characters and 'New Woman' aspect with the same historical background and 'New Woman' female character in common; however, the personality and 'New Woman' aspect of the characters were somewhat different. There was also a distinct difference in the symbolic image of Western and Korean costumes. Western and Korean costumes signify externality versus internality and denial versus the affirmation of national identity in ; dailiness versus ceremonialness and dynamics versus statics in ; and independence versus conformity and variability versus continuity in .

This paper proposes a novel localization algorithm based on ego-motion which used Lucas-Kanade Optical Flow and warping image obtained through fish-eye lenses mounted on the robots. The omnidirectional image sensor is a desirable sensor for real-time view-based recognition of a robot because the all information around the robot can be obtained simultaneously. The preprocessing (distortion correction, image merge, etc.) of the omnidirectional image which obtained by camera using reflect in mirror or by connection of multiple camera images is essential because it is difficult to obtain information from the original image. The core of the proposed algorithm may be summarized as follows: First, we capture instantaneous $360^{\circ}$ panoramic images around a robot through fish-eye lenses which are mounted in the bottom direction. Second, we extract motion vectors using Lucas-Kanade Optical Flow in preprocessed image. Third, we estimate the robot position and angle using ego-motion method which used direction of vector and vanishing point obtained by RANSAC. We confirmed the reliability of localization algorithm using ego-motion based on fisheye warping image through comparison between results (position and angle) of the experiment obtained using the proposed algorithm and results of the experiment measured from Global Vision Localization System.

In this study an economical image stitching algorithm for use in automotive industry is developed for retrofittable panoramic image assistance applications. The aim of this project is to develop a driving assistance system known as Panoramic Parking Assistance (PPA) which is cheap, retrofittable and compatible for every type of automobiles. PPA generates bird's eye view image using cameras installed on the automobiles. Image stitching requires to get bird's eye view position of the vehicle. Panoramic images are wide area images that cannot be available by taking one shot, attained by stitching the overlapping areas. To achieve correct stitching many algorithms are used. This study includes some type of these algorithms and presents a simple one that is economical and practical. Firstly, the mathematical model of a wide view of angle camera is provided. Then distorted image correction is performed. Stitching is implemented by using the SIFT and SURF algorithms. It has been seen that using such algorithms requires complex image processing knowledge and implementation of high quality digital processors, which would be impracticle and costly for automobile use. Thus a simpler algorithm has been developed to decrase the complexity. The proposed algorithm uses one matching point for every couple of images and has ease of use and does not need high power processors. To show the efficiency, images coming from four distinct cameras are stitched by using the algorithm developed for the study and usability for automotive application is analyzed.

In a robot/vision system, the vision sensor, typically a CCD array sensor, is mounted on the robot hand. The problem of determining the relationship between the camera frame and the robot hand frame is refered to as the hand-eye calibration. In the literature, various methods have been suggested to calibrate camera and for sensor registration. Recently, one-step approach which combines camera calibration and sensor registration is suggested by Horaud & Dornaika. In this approach, camera extrinsic parameters are not need to be determined at all configurations of robot. In this paper, by modifying the camera model and including the lens distortion effect in the perspective transformation matrix, a new one-step approach is proposed in the hand-eye calibration.

In the field of biometric security such as face and iris recognition, it is essential to extract facial features such as eyes and lips. In this paper, we have studied a method of detecting eye and lip region in face image using faster R-CNN. The faster R-CNN is an object detection method using deep running and is well known to have superior performance compared to the conventional feature-based method. In this paper, feature maps are extracted by applying convolution, linear rectification process, and max pooling process to facial images in order. The RPN(region proposal network) is learned using the feature map to detect the region proposal. Then, eye and lip detector are learned by using the region proposal and feature map. In order to examine the performance of the proposed method, we experimented with 800 face images of Korean men and women. We used 480 images for the learning phase and 320 images for the test one. Computer simulation showed that the average precision of eye and lip region detection for 50 epoch cases is 97.7% and 91.0%, respectively.

In this paper, an USB-OTG (Uiversal Serial Bus On-the-go) interface module was designed with the iris information for personal identification. The image recognition algorithm which was searching face and iris areas, was proposed with pixel differences from eye blinking after several facial images were captured and then detected without any activities like as pressing the button of smart phone. The region of pupil and iris could be fast involved with the proper iris area segmentation from the pixel value calculation of frame difference among the images which were detected with two adjacent open-eye and close-eye pictures. This proposed iris recognition could be fast processed with the proper grid size of the eye region, and designed with the frame difference between the adjacent images from the USB-OTG interface with this camera module with the restrict of searching area in face and iris location. As a result, the detection time of iris location can be reduced, and this module can be expected with eliminating the standby time of eye-open.
