This study proposes a novel video traffic flow detection method based on machine vision technology. The three-frame difference method, which is one kind of a motion evaluation method, is used to establish initial background image, and then a statistical scoring strategy is chosen to update background image in real time. Finally, the background difference method is used for detecting the moving objects. Meanwhile, a simple but effective shadow elimination method is introduced to improve the accuracy of the detection for moving objects. Furthermore, the study also proposes a vehicle matching and tracking strategy by combining characteristics, such as vehicle's location information, color information and fractal dimension information. Experimental results show that this detection method could quickly and effectively detect various traffic flow parameters, laying a solid foundation for enhancing the degree of automation for traffic management.

UAV는 임무 수행을 위한 INS 장비와 광학 장비를 갖추고 있다. 이 논문에서는 UAV를 위한 알고리즘으로 칼만 필터와 광류를 이용하는 영상기반 자세추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 광류는 UAV에 장착된 카메라의 영상으로부터 획득하며 UAV의 자세는 광류를 통해 측정된다. 이 논문에서 UAV 자세의 추정과 낮은 신뢰성을 보완하기위해 칼만 필터를 사용한다. 그리고 실험을 통해 알고리즘을 검증하였다. Rate table과 실제 비행영상을 이용하여 실험 하였으며, 본 논문에서 UAV의 자세 추정 알고리즘 검증 결과를 보였다. Rate table 실험에서 오차는 2도 이내였으며, AHRS를 통해 측정한 결과와 비슷한 경향을 보인다. 그러나 실제 비행 영상 실험에서 최대 Yaw 오차는 21도였으며, 최대 Pitch 오차는 7.8도로 나타났다.

This paper investigates the framework of vision-based dense displacement and strain measurement of miter gates with the approach for the quantitative evaluation of the expected performance. The proposed framework consists of the following steps: (i) Estimation of 3D displacement and strain from images before and after deformation (water-fill event), (ii) evaluation of the expected performance of the measurement, and (iii) selection of measurement setting with the highest expected accuracy. The framework first estimates the full-field optical flow between the images before and after water-fill event, and project the flow to the finite element (FE) model to estimate the 3D displacement and strain. Then, the expected displacement/strain estimation accuracy is evaluated at each node/element of the FE model. Finally, methods and measurement settings with the highest expected accuracy are selected to achieve the best results from the field measurement. A physics-based graphics model (PBGM) of miter gates of the Greenup Lock and Dam with the updated texturing step is used to simulate the vision-based measurements in a photo-realistic environment and evaluate the expected performance of different measurement plans (camera properties, camera placement, post-processing algorithms). The framework investigated in this paper can be used to analyze and optimize the performance of the measurement with different camera placement and post-processing steps prior to the field test.

Nickel oxide thin films were deposited by the DC magnetron reactive sputtering process under the conditions such as various oxygen flow rates(0, 3, 6, 8, 10 sccm) with constant 33 sccm argon flow rate for the sputtering time of 40 second with the power of 0.3 kW. Sheet resistances were measured by the four point probes. In order to observe discharge voltage characteristics according to the oxygen flow rates, the sputtering processes were performed under the powers of 0.2kW and 0.3kW. The feasibility of the coating system for high quality ferromagnetic thin films was tested through the electromagnetic simulation and the thin film thickness measurement from the experiment. It was shown that a discharge voltage was decreased under the low power and low oxygen flow rate, since the oxygen was quickly saturated on nickel target surface. The sheet resistance was increased as oxygen flow rate increased. The film thickness deposited by the coating system for ferromagnetic target was improved approximately 10% in comparison with previous coating systems.

타원형 기어는 오발 유량계에 사용되는 특수기어로써 타원형 모양에 의해 생긴 공간으로 물을 흘려보내 계측한다. 본 연구의 목적은 타원형 기어의 가공정도를 판단하고 불량을 가려내는 시스템을 머신비전을 이용하여 개발하는 것이다. 각종 산업분야에서 자동화가 확산되면서 머신미전의 수요는 늘고 있으며 업계전반의 생산공정 중 검사 공정에서 빼놓을 수 없는 인자가 되었다. 하지만 머신비전을 이용한 기어측정은 기어의 형상이 복잡하다는 이유로 잘 사용되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 머신비전을 이용한 검사 프로그램으로 타원형 기어의 측정이 가능함을 보였으며 본 연구에서 설계한 타원형 기어의 가공정도를 판단할 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a novel mapping algorithm in Omni-directional Vision SLAM based on an obstacle's feature extraction using Lucas-Kanade Optical Flow motion detection and images obtained through fish-eye lenses mounted on robots. Omni-directional image sensors have distortion problems because they use a fish-eye lens or mirror, but it is possible in real time image processing for mobile robots because it measured all information around the robot at one time. In previous Omni-Directional Vision SLAM research, feature points in corrected fisheye images were used but the proposed algorithm corrected only the feature point of the obstacle. We obtained faster processing than previous systems through this process. 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 remove the feature points of the floor surface using a histogram filter, and label the candidates of the obstacle extracted. Third, we estimate the location of obstacles based on motion vectors using LKOF. Finally, it estimates the robot position using an Extended Kalman Filter based on the obstacle position obtained by LKOF and creates a map. We will confirm the reliability of the mapping algorithm using motion estimation based on fisheye images through the comparison between maps obtained using the proposed algorithm and real maps.

As systems for real time computer vision are confronted with prodigious amounts of visual information, it has become a priority to locate and analyze just that information essential to the task at hand, while ignoring the vast flow of irrelevant detail. A method of achieving this is to using human visual attention mechanism. In this paper, short review of human visual attention mechanisms and some computation models of visual attention were shown. This paper can be used as the basic data for researches on development of visual attention system that can perform various complex tasks more efficiently.

This paper proposes an algorithm for navigation of an autonomous mobile robot with vision sensor. For obstacle avoidance, we used a curvature trajectory method. Using this method, translational and rotational speeds are controlled independently and the mobile robot traces a smooth curvature trajectory that consists of circle trajectories to a target point. While trying to avoid obstacles, the robot fan be goal-directed using curvature trajectory.

Traffic monitoring plays an important role in intelligent transportation systems. It can be used to collect real-time traffic data concerning traffic flow. Passive shadows resulted from roadside buildings or trees and active shadows caused by moving vehicles, are one of the factors that arise errors in vision based vehicle detection. In this paper, a land mark based method is proposed for vehicle detection and shadow rejection, and finally vehicle count are achieved based on the land mark detection method.
