In this paper, we propse an object-oriented coding method in low bit-rate channels using pyramid structure and residual image compensation. In the motion estimation step, global motion is estimated using a set of multiresolution images constructed in a pyramid structure. We split an input image into two regions based on the gradient value. Regions with larte motions obtain observation points at low resolution level to guarantee robustness to noise and to satisfy a motion constraint equation whereas regions with local motions such as eye, and lips get observation points at the original resolution level. Local motion variations and intesity variations of an image reconstructed by the golbal motion are compensated additionally by using the previous residual image component. Finally, the model failure (MF) region is compensated by the pyramid mapping of the previous displaced frame difference (DFD). Computer simulation results show that the proposed method gives better performance that the convnetional one in terms of the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), compression ratio (CR), and computational complexity.

For robot navigation and visual reconstruction , structure from motion (SFM) is an active issue in computer vision community and its properties are also becoming well understood. As a drawback in SFM, it is well known that the SFM methods, using small motion model such as optical flow and direct method, have inevitably motion ambiguity between translation and rotation, which is called bas-relief ambiguity. In this paper based on the robust direct method using stereo image sequence, we present a new method for improving those ambiguities. Basically, the direct method uses nearly all image pixels for estimating motion parameters and depths, and global optimization techniques are adopted for finding its solution ...

The dynamic window approach(DWA) is a well known technique for reactive collision avoidance. It shows safe and efficient performance in real-world experiments. However, a robot can get stuck in local minima because no information about the connectivity of the free space is used to determine the motion. The global DWA can solve this problem of local minima by adding a navigation function. Even with the global DWA, it is still difficult for a robot to execute an abrupt change in its direction, for example, entering from the corridor to a doorway. This paper proposes a modified global DWA using the included angles of waypoints extracted from an optimal path. This scheme enables the robot to decelerate in advance before turning into the doorway. Therefore the robot can reach the goal position more safely and efficiently at high speeds.

In this paper, the block reweighting and global offset initialization methods are proposed to complement the improved IRLMS algorithm which is the effective algorithm in registration based SBNUC algorithm. Proposed block weighting method reweights the error map whose abnormal data are excluded. The global offset initialization method compensates the global nonuniformity initially. The ordinary registration based SBNUC algorithm is hard to compensate global nonuniformity because of low scene motion. We employ the proposed methods to improved IRLMS algorithm, and apply it to real-world infrared raw image stream. The result shows that new implementation provides 3.5~4.0dB higher PSNR and convergence speed 1.5 faster then the improved IRLMS algorithm.

This paper presents a numerical method of the global search for an optimal geometric path for a manipulator arm amid obstacles. Finite term quintic B-splines are used to describe an arbitrary point-to-point manipulator motion with fixed moving time. The coefficients of the splines span a linear vector space, a point in which uniquely represents the manipulator motion. All feasible geometric paths are searched by adjusting the seed points of the obstacle models in the penetration growth distances. In the numerical implementation using nonlinear programming, the globally optimal geometric path is obtained for a spatial 3-link(3-revolute joints) manipulator amid several hexahedral obstacles without simplifying any dynamic or geometric models.

회전안정화 로켓 모터를 이용하는 우주 비행체의 자세 불안정 현상을 수치적 실험을 통하여 연구하였다. 이전 연구에서는 해석적 방법을 통하여 주어진 우주 비행체에 대한 정상해를 구하고 실제 발생했던 공진과 유사한 공진조건을 찾았으나 정상해 근방에서의 안정도 또는 파라미터 공간 전역에서의 안정도가 어떻게 변하는 지를 알 수가 없었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이전 연구결과를 기초로 하여 주어진 파라미터 공간 전역에서 수치적 실험을 통하여 유동체의 파라미터 값에 따라 위성체의 자세 안정도가 어떻게 변화하는지를 관찰하고, 시스템 설계에 필요한 파라미터들의 안정/불안정 영역을 결정하였다.

A method to design a boundary controller for global stabilization of three-dimensional nonlinear dynamics of flexible marine risers is presented in this paper. Equations of motion of the risers are first developed in a vector form. The boundary controller at the top end of the risers is then designed based on Lyapunov's direct method. Proof of existence and uniqueness of the solutions of the closed loop control system is carried out by using the Galerkin approximation method. It is shown that when there are no environmental disturbances, the proposed boundary controller is able to force the riser to be globally exponentially stable at its equilibrium position. When there are environmental disturbances, the riser is stabilized in the neighborhood of its equilibrium position by the proposed boundary controller.

For applications such as video surveillance and human computer interface, we propose an efficiently integrated method to detect and track faces. Various visual cues are combined to the algorithm: motion, skin color, global appearance and facial pattern detection. The ICA (Independent Component Analysis)-SVM (Support Vector Machine based pattern detection is performed on the candidate region extracted by motion, color and global appearance information. Simultaneous execution of detection and short-term tracking also increases the rate and accuracy of detection. Experimental results show that our detection rate is 91％ with very few false alarms running at about 4 frames per second for 640 by 480 pixel images on a Pentium IV 1㎓.

In this paper, we present a real-time method to detect moving objects in a rotating and zooming camera. It is useful for camera surveillance of fixed but rotating camera, camera on moving car, and so on. We first compensate the global motion, and then exploit the displaced frame difference (DFD) to find the block-wise boundary. For robust detection, we propose a kind of image to combine the detections from consecutive frames. We use the block-wise detection to achieve the real-time speed, except the pixel-wise DFD. In addition, a fast block-matching algorithm is proposed to obtain local motions and then global affine motion. In the experimental results, we demonstrate that our proposed algorithm can handle the real-time detection of common object, small object, multiple objects, the objects in low-contrast environment, and the object in zooming camera.

In the circumstances we want to deal with, a transmission channel is limited and a global motion can happen by camera movement, and also there exists a region-of-interest(ROI) which is more important than background. So very low bit rate coding algorithm is required and processing of global motion must be considered. Also ROI must be reconstructed with required quality after decoding because of its importance. But the existing methods such as H.261, H.263 can not reconstruct ROIs with high quality because they do not consider the fact that ROIs are more important than background. So a new coding scheme is proposed that describes a method for encoding image sequences distinguishing bits between ROI and background. Experimental results show that the suggested algorithm performs well especially in the circumstances where background changes and the area of ROI is small enough compared with that of background.
