The proposed algorithm detected face region by change the RGB color space of skin color information to the YCbCr color space. Applying eye-template from extracted face region geometrical feature vector of feature about distance and lean, nose and mouth between eye extracted. And, Proposed method could do feature of eyes, nose and mouth through stereo image's matching as well as 2D feature information extract. In the experiment, the proposed algorithm shows the consistency rate of 73% in distance within about 1m and the consistency rate of 52%in distance since about 1m.

Feature matching using image descriptors is robust method used recently. However, mismatches occur in 3D transformed images, illumination-changed images and repetitive-pattern images. In this paper, we observe that there are a lot of mismatches in the images which have repetitive patterns. We analyze it and propose a method to eliminate these mismatches. MDMF(Multiple Descriptors-based Mismatch Filtering) eliminates mismatches by using descriptors of nearest several features of one specific feature point. In experiments, for geometrical transformation like scale, rotation, affine, we compare the match ratio among SIFT, ASIFT and MDMF, and we show that MDMF can eliminate mismatches successfully.

While the circulation of images become active, various requirements to manage increasing database are raised. The content-based technology is one of methods to satisfy these requirements. The image is represented by feature vectors extracted by various methods in the content-based technology. The global feature method insures fast matching speed because the feature vector extracted by the global feature method is formed into a standard shape. The global feature extraction methods are classified into two categories, the spatial feature extraction and statistical feature extraction. And each group is divided by what kind of information is used, color feature or gray scale feature. In this paper, we introduce various global feature extraction technologies and compare their performance by accuracy, recall-precision graph, ANMRR, feature vector size and matching time. According to the experiments, the spatial features show good performance in non-geometrical modifications, and the extraction technologies that use color and histogram feature show the best performance.

In moving object tracking based on the visual sensory feedback, a prerequisite is to determine which feature or which object is to be tracked and then the feature or the object identification precedes the tracking. In this paper, we focus on the object identification not image feature identification. The target identification is realized by finding out corresponding line segments to the hypothesized model segments of the target. The key idea is the combination of the Mahalanobis distance with the geometrica relationship between model segments and extracted line segments. We demonstrate the robustness and feasibility of the proposed target identification algorithm by a moving vehicle identification and tracking in the video traffic surveillance system over images of a road scene.

There exist geometrically invariant relations in single-view images under a specific geometrical structure. This invariance may be utilized for 3D object recognition. Two types of invariants are compared in terms of the robustness to the variation of the feature points. Deviation of the invariant relations are measured by adding random noise to the feature point location. Zhu’s invariant requires six points on adjacent planes having two sets of four coplanar points, whereas the Kaist method requires four coplanar points and two non-coplanar points. Experimental results show that the latter method has the advantage in choosing feature points while suffering from weak robustness to the noise.

In the milling operation, the burr can be generated on the intersection of cutting tool and workpiece. Due to burr formation, we expect lower efficiency in the operation and the cost increase. In order to understand the burr formation mechanism in the milling operation on the arbitrary feature, we developed an algorithm to analyse and predict the exit burr formation mechanism. Firstly, the recognition of arbitrary shaped workpiece was done through the CAD data. This data includes point information on the vertices of the workpiece. Secondly, tile CAM data regarding tool geometry, tool path, cutting speed, and material data are retrieved to simulate the actual cutting process. Thirdly, we predict the exit burr formation on the edge of workpiece based on the geometric analysis. Lastly, an algorithm implemented in the Windows environment to visualize the burr formation simulation. With this information, we can predict which portion of workpiece would have the exit burr in advance so that we call manage to find a way to minimize the edit burr formation in the actual cutting.

This paper presents a new watermarking scheme that is robust against geometrical attacks such as translation and rotation. The proposed method is based on the conventional PSADT(Polar Coordinates Shape Adaptive Discrete Transform) method which is an robust watermarking scheme for an arbitrarily-shaped image such as character images. The PSADT method shows perfect robustness against geometrical attack if there is no change in the shape of the image object. However, it cannot be utilized to watermark general rectangular images because of the missing alignment between the watermarked signals in the embedding and extracting side. To overcome this problem we propose a new watermarking scheme that aligns the watermark signal using the image inherent feature, especially corner. Namely the proposed method decides a consistent target region whose shape and position isn't changed by any malicious attack and then embeds the watermark in it using the PSADT method. Experimental results show the robustness of the proposed method against geometrical attacks as well as image compression.

The most important factor of mobile robot is to build a map for surrounding environment and estimate its localization. This paper proposes a real-time localization and map building method through 3-D reconstruction using scale invariant feature from monocular camera. Mobile robot attached monocular camera looking wall extracts scale invariant features in each image using SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) as it follows wall. Matching is carried out by the extracted features and matching feature map that is transformed into absolute coordinates using 3-D reconstruction of point and geometrical analysis of surrounding environment build, and store it map database. After finished feature map building, the robot finds some points matched with previous feature map and find its pose by affine parameter in real time. Position error of the proposed method was maximum. 8cm and angle error was within $10^{\circ}$.

A new method to realize 3-dimensional object pattern recognition system using Fourier-based feature extractor has been proposed. The procedure to obtain the invariant feature vector is as follows ; A closed surface is generated by tracing the surface of object using the 3-dimensional polar coordinate. The centroidal distances between object's geometrical center and each closed surface points are calculated. The distance vector is translation invariant. The distance vector is normalized, so the result is scale invariant. The Fourier spectrum of each normalized distance vector is calculated, and the spectrum is rotation invariant. The Fourier-based feature generating from above procedure completely eliminates the effect of variations in translation, scale, and rotation of 3-dimensional object with closed-surface. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a high accuracy.
