In this paper, we propose the gunnery detection method based on reference frame modeling and frame difference method. The frame difference method is basic method in target detection, and it's applicable to the detection of moving targets. The goal of proposed method is the detection of gunnery target which has huge variation of energy and size in the time domain. So, proposed method is based on frame difference, and it guarantee real-time processing and high detection performance. In the method of frame difference, it's important to generate reference frame. In the proposed method, reference frame is modeled and updated in real time processing using statistical values for each pixels. We performed the simulation on 73 IR video data that has gunnery targets, and the experimental results showed that the proposed method has 95.7% detection ratio under condition that false alarm is 1 per hour.

This paper proposes a video tracking method for a deformable moving object using an active contour model. In order to decide the convergent directions of the contour points automatically, a new energy function based on a frame difference map and an updating rules of the frame difference map are presented. Experimental results on a set of synthetic and real image sequences showed that the proposed method can fully track a speedy deformable object while extracting the boundary of the object exactly in every frame.

In this paper, we propose a Motion Estimation (ME) using new blocks based on the Frame Difference (FD) between two adjacent frames for Frame Rate-up Conversion (FRC). The proposed algorithm decides the shape of blocks by the FD. The experimental results show that the proposed method has better performance than conventional methods.

The hold-type display panel such as a liquid crystal displays(LCD) has problem of motion blur. The problem can be improved by a Frame Rate-up Conversion(FRC) using a frame interpolation. We propose a Motion Estimation(ME) by using adaptively expanded block based on frame difference for PRC. The proposed method is executed using an adaptively expanded block in order to get more accurate motion vector. By using frame difference, we can reduce complexity more significantly than conventional methods. We use quantitative analysis in order to evaluate experimental results. The results show that the proposed method has better performance and lower complexity than conventional methods.

Three different cases should be considered for motion tracking: moving object with fixed camera, fixed object with moving camera and moving object with moving camera. Two methods are widely used for motion tracking: the optical flow method and the difference frame method. The optical new method is mainly used when either one, object or camera is fixed. This method tracks object using time-space vector which compares object position frame by frame. This method requires heavy computation, and is not suitable for real-time monitoring system such as DVR(Digital Video Recorder). The different frame method is used for moving object with fixed camera. This method tracks object by comparing the difference between background images. This method is good for real-time applications because computation is small. However, it is not applicable if the camera is moving. This thesis proposes and implements the motion tracking system using the difference frame method with PTZ(Pan-Tilt-Zoom) control. This system can be used for moving object with moving camera. Since the difference frame method is used, the system is suitable for real-time applications such as DVR.

In this paper, we describe a fast 3D video segmentation method using mathematical morphology. The proposed 3D video segmentation algorithm is composed of intra-frame segmentation step and inter-frame segmentation step. In the intra-frame segmentation step, the first frame is segmented using the fast hierarchical segmentation method. Then, in the inter-frame segmentation step, the next frames are segmented using markers that are extracted from the difference of previous segmentation result and simplified present image. Experimental results show that the proposed method has more fast structure and is suitable for video segmentation.

This paper presents a video tracking method for a deformable moving object using an active contour model in the image sequences. It is quite important to decide the local convergence directions of the contour points for correctly extracting the boundary of the moving object with deformable shape. For this purpose, an energy function for the active contour model is newly proposed by adding a directional energy term using a frame difference map to tile Greedy algorithm. In addition, an updating rule of tile frame difference map is developed to encourage the stable convergence of the contour points. Experimental results on a set of synthetic and real image sequences showed that the proposed method can fully track the deformable object while extracting the boundary of the object elaborately in every frame.

In this study, we constructed a visual sensor system for weld seam tracking in real time in GMA welding. A sensor part consists of a CCD camera, a band-pass filter, a diode laser system with a cylindrical lens, and a vision board for inter frame process. We used a commercialized robot system which includes a GMA welding machine. To extract the weld seam we used a inter frame process in vision board from that we could remove the noise due to the spatters and fume in the image. Since the image was very reasonable by using the inter frame p개cess, we could use the simplest way to extract the weld seam from the image, such as first differential and central difference method. Also we used a moving average method to the successive position data or weld seam for reducing the data fluctuation. In experiment the developed robot system with visual sensor could be able to track a most popular weld seam. such as a fillet-joint, a V-groove, and a lap-joint of which weld seam include planar and height directional variation.

In this paper, we propose a new method to improve low light image. In order to improve the image quality of a night image with a moving object as much as the quality of a daytime image, the following tasks were performed. Firstly, we reduce the noisy of the input night image and improve the night image by the tone mapping method. Secondly, we segment the input night image into a foreground with motion and a background without motion. The motion is detected using both the difference between the current frame and the previous frame and the difference between the current frame and the night background image. The background region of the night image takes pixels from corresponding positions in the daytime image. The foreground regions of the night image take the pixels from the corresponding positions of the image which is improved by the tone mapping method. Experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the visual quality more clearly than the existing methods.

In this paper, an efficient method to find cut in the MPEG stream data is proposed. For this purpose, histogram difference and pixel difference is considered as a noise signal. The signal is then filtered out by a median filter to make the frame difference larger. The frame difference obtained in this way is classified into cut frame and non-cut frame by the 2-means clustering without using any threshold value. To improve the classification ratio, a back-propagation neural network is constructed, where outputs of 2-means clustering are used as the inputs of the network. The simulation results demonstrate the performance of the proposed methods.
