The trajectories of feature points can be defined by the correspondences between points in consecutive frames. The correspondence problem is known to be difficult to solve because false positives and false negatives almost always exist in real image sequences. In this paper, we propose a robust feature tracking algorithm considering incomplete trajectories such as entering and/or vanishing trajectories. The trajectories of feature points are determined by calculating the matching measure, which is defined as the minimum weighted Euclidean distance between two feature points. The weights are automatically updated in order to properly reflect the motion characteristics. We solve the correspondence problem as an optimal graph search problem, considering that the existence of false feature points may have serious effect on the correspondence search. The proposed algorithm finds a local optimal correspondence so that the effect of false feature point can be minimized in the decision process. The time complexity of the proposed graph search algorithm is given by O(mn) in the best case and O($m^2n$) in the worst case, where m and n arc the number of feature points in two consecutive frames. By considering false feature points and by properly reflecting motion characteristics, the proposed algorithm can find trajectories correctly and robustly, which has been shown by experimental results.

본 논문에서는 단일 및 군말뚝의 수평변위를 예측하기 위하여 신경망 학습속도의 향상과 지역 최소점 수렴을 방지하는 Readjusting 기법을 적용한 인공신경망을 도입하였다. 이 인공신경망을 M-EBPNN 이라고 한다. M-EBPNN에 의한 결과는 낙동강 모래지반에서 단일 및 군말뚝에 대하여 수행한 일련의 모형실험결과와 비교하였으며, 그리고 신경망의 학습속도와 지역 최소점의 수렴성을 평가하기 위하여 오류 역전파 신경망(EBPNN)의 결과와도 비교 분석하였다. M-EBPNN의 적용성 검증을 위하여 200개의 모형실험결과들을 이용하였으며, 신경망의 구조는 EBPNN의 구조와 동일한 한 개의 입력층과 두 개의 은닉층 그리고 한 개의 출력층으로 구성되었다. 전체 데이터의 25%, 50% 그리고 75% 결과는 각각 신경망의 학습에 이용되었으며 학습에 이용하지 않은 데이터들은 예측에 이용되었다. 그리고, 신경망의 최적학습을 위하여 적합한 은닉층의 뉴런 수와 학습률은 EBPNN에서 결정한 값들을 본 신경망에 이용하였다. 해석결과들에 의하면, 동일한 학습패턴에서의 M-EBPNN이 학습 반복횟수는 EBPNN 보다 최고 88% 감소하였으며 지역 최소점에 수렴하는 현상은 거의 나타나지 않았다. 따라서, 인공신경망 모델이 수평하중을 받는 말뚝의 수평변위 예측에 적용될 수 있는 가능성을 보여 주었다.

This paper proposes a method to detect LP(License Plate) of vehicles in indoor and outdoor parking lots. In restricted environment, there are many conventional methods for detecting LP. But, it is difficult to detect LP in natural and complex scenes with background clutters because several patterns similar with text or LP always exist in complicated backgrounds. To verify the performance of LP text detection in natural images, we apply MB-LGP feature by combining with ensemble machine learning algorithm in purpose of selecting optimal features of small number in huge pool. The feature selection is performed by adaptive boosting algorithm that shows great performance in minimum false positive detection ratio and in computing time when combined with cascade approach. MSER is used to provide initial text regions of vehicle LP. Throughout the experiment using real images, the proposed method functions robustly extracting LP in natural scene as well as the controlled environment.

This paper proposes a novel method for grading of underground communication conduits by laser projection image analysis. The equipment thrust into conduit consists of a laser diode, a light emitting diode and a camera, the laser diode is utilized for generating projection image onto pipe wall, the light emitting diode for lighting environment and the image of conduit is acquired by the camera. In order to segment profile region, we used a novel color difference model and multiple thresholds method. The shape of profile ring is represented as a minimum diameter and the Fourier descriptor, and then the pipe status is graded by the rule-based method. Both local and global features of the segmented ring shaped, the minimum diameter and the Fourier descriptor, are utilized, therefore injured and distorted pipes can be correctly graded. From the experimental results, the classification is measured with accuracy such that false alarms are less than 2% under the various conditions.
