본 논문에서는 마르코프 네트워크로 모델링된 다관절체(Articulated body) 사람을 양안 영상(stereo image)을 통해 획득 되어진 디스패리티 맵(disparity map)을 이용해 효과적으로 추적하는 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 색상 정보만을 사용하여 에너지함수의 우도(likelihood)를 계산하는 방법은 조명 및 그림자의 영향과 배경 색상의 임의성 때문에 강건하지 못 하다. 본 논문에서는 색상 정보에 더불어 디스패리티 정보를 활용하여 우도를 계산하는 방법을 제안한다. 원통형 모양의 사람의 신체 요소(body part)는 2차원 영상으로 사영될 때 직사각형으로 사영되므로 이 직사각형의 디스패리티의 분포가 불연속 하지 않다는 특성을 이용한다. 또한 본 논문에서는 디스패리티 맵을 사용한 조건적 메시지 생성 방법을 제안해 신뢰 전파에서 불필요한 메시지 업데이트 수행을 줄이는 방법을 보여준다. 메시지 업데이트는 신뢰 전파 알고리즘의 전체 수행 시간에 80% 이상을 차지하므로, 조건적 메시지 생성 방법은 기존 대비 9~45%의 속도 향상을 보였다. 또한 사람의 연속적인 움직임 특성을 이용한 다이나믹 모델을 제안해 추적 속도를 향상하였다. 자세한 내용은 4장에 설명되어 있다. 실험 결과 제안하는 디스패리티 정보를 활용한 신뢰 전파를 사용해 다관절체를 추적하는 방법은 기존 대비 강건한 추적 결과와 함께 빠른 속도로 추적할 수 있었다.

Human errors are now considered as the most significant source of accidents or incidents in large-scale systems such as aircraft, vessels, railway, and nuclear power plants. As 61% of the train accidents in Korea railway involving collisions, derailments and fires were caused by human errors, there is a strong need for a systematic research that can help to prevent human errors. Although domestic railway operating companies use a variety of methods for analyzing human errors, there is much room for improvement. Especially, because most of them are based on written papers, there is a definite need for a well-developed computerized system supporting human error analyzing tasks. The purpose of this study is to propose a framework for a computerized human error analysis system focused on the railway industry on the basis of human error analysis mechanism. The proposed framework consists of human error analysis (HEA) module, similar accident tracking (SAT) module, cause factor recommendation (CFR) module, cause factor management (CFM) module, and statistics (ST) module.

보행을 관찰하고 객관적인 정보를 추출하여 그 기능을 평가하는 것을 보행 분석이라고 한다. 최근 사용되는 보행 측정 장비들은 다수의 카메라, 지면 반력 측정 장치로 구성되어 고가이며, 이를 설치할 넓은 장소를 필요로 한다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 단일 카메라를 통해 얻은 영상에서 마커 없이 인체의 3차원 보행 동작을 측정하는 기법을 제안한다. 파티클 필터를 사용하여 훈련 데이터와 보행에 관한 사전 정보 없이 사람의 동작을 추적한다. 인체와 지면에 관한 동역학을 통해 물리적으로 합당한 인체의 동작들을 생성하였다. 보행 영상에서 계산한 모든 관절의 평균 에러는 제안한 방법에서 $12.4^{\circ}$로, 기존 파티클 필터의 에러 $34.6^{\circ}$보다 작았다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 단일 카메라만으로 보행을 정량적으로 측정하여 기존 복잡한 장비를 대체할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.

In this paper, we develope a type of humanoid robot which can express its emotion against human actions. To interact with human, the developed robot has several abilities to express its emotion, which are verbal communication with human through voice/image recognition, motion tracking, and facial expression using fourteen Servo Motors. The proposed humanoid robot system consists of a control board designed with AVR90S8535 to control servor motors, a framework equipped with fourteen server motors and two CCD cameras, a personal computer to monitor its operations. The results of this research illustrate that our intelligent emotional humanoid robot is very intuitive and friendly so human can interact with the robot very easily.

This paper describes the developement of a Design Issue Management System (DIMS). Although human factors engineering has been recognized as one of the critical activities in the design of man-machine system, it has been hardly successful nor effective in practice to cope with the hyman factors requirements by regulations. For supporting the human factors engineering in nuclear power plants, DIMS ahs three major modules : Design Requirements Data Base, Design Issue Tracking System, Issue Evaluation Support System. These modules function as formal verification architects that the licensing authority requests for verifying the safety of the equip- ment and facilities in nuclear power plants. An example application to an operator support system, named Critical Function Monitoring System, during its independent review of the human factors shows the usage and the benefit of DIMS.

The MPI CyberMotion Simulator provides a unique motion platform, as it features an anthropomorphic robot with a large workspace, combined with an actuated cabin and a linear track for lateral movement. This paper introduces the simulator as a tool for studying human perception, and compares its characteristics to conventional Stewart platforms. Furthermore, an experimental evaluation is presented in which multimodal human control behavior is studied by identifying the visual and vestibular responses of participants in a roll-lateral helicopter hover task. The results show that the simulator motion allows participants to increase tracking performance by changing their control strategy, shifting from reliance on visual error perception to reliance on simulator motion cues. The MPI CyberMotion Simulator has proven to be a state-of-the-art motion simulator for psychophysical research to study humans with various experimental paradigms, ranging from passive perception experiments to active control tasks, such as driving a car or flying a helicopter.

The movements of the human body are difficult to capture owing to the complexity of the three-dimensional skeleton model and occlusion problems. In this paper, we propose a motion capture system that tracks dynamic human motions in real time. Without using external markers, the proposed system adopts multiple depth sensors (Microsoft Kinect) to overcome the occlusion and body rotation problems. To combine the joint data retrieved from the multiple sensors, our calibration process samples a point cloud from depth images and unifies the coordinate systems in point clouds into a single coordinate system via the iterative closest point method. Using noisy skeletal data from sensors, a posture reconstruction method is introduced to estimate the optimal joint positions for consistent motion generation. Based on the high tracking accuracy of the proposed system, we demonstrate that our system is applicable to various motion-based training programs in dance and Taekwondo.

This paper considers the ability of counting and positioning multi-targets by using a mobile UWB radar device. After a background subtraction process, distinguishing between clutters and human body signals, the position of targets will be computed using weighted Gaussian mixture methods. While computer vision offers many advantages, it has limited performance in poor visibility conditions (e.g., at night, haze, fog or smoke). UWB radar can provide a complementary technology for detecting and tracking humans, particularly in poor visibility or through-wall conditions. As we know, for 2D measurement, one method is the use of at least two receiver antennas. Another method is the use of one mobile radar receiver. This paper tried to investigate the position detection of the stationary human body using the movement of one UWB radar module.

This study was conducted to assess the validity of fecal coliforms to fecal streptococci ratio (FC/FS) for distinguishing the human from animal origin of fecal pollution in surface water. FC/FS ratio determined in effluent from municipal wastewater and human feces treatment plant (WWTP) and in downstream close to discharge of human feces was above 4 which indicates human origin. However FC/FS ratios determined seasonally in other water zones of the Nakdong River, even in the same sampling site, varied differently (above 4 or less than 0.7) due to different survival time of FC and FS and other environmental factors such as rainfall in watershed. Compared to other season, FC/FS ratios in winter were much lower regardless of the origin. It is concluded that the FC/FS ratio determined in surface water is not always valid for determining the origin of fecal pollution.
