This paper presents force-feedback control performance of a haptic device in virtual environment of minimally invasive surgery(MIS). As a first step, based on an electrorheological (ER) fluid and spherical geometry, a new type of master device is developed and integrated with a virtual environment of MIS such as a surgical tool and human organ. The virtual object is then mathematically formulated by adopting the shape retaining chain linked(S-chain) model. After evaluating reflection force, computational time, and compatibility with real time control, the virtual environment of MIS is formulated by interactivity with the ER haptic device in real space. Tracking control performances for virtual force trajectory are presented in time domain.

An automatic multiframe procedure for tracking signalized points on multiple, differently moving discontinuous surface is described. The position of markers which attached on human body give us some important information such as velocity, acceleration, angular velocity and angular acceleration, etc, of the rigid objects. Generally, the detected objects occufying some area in images rather than a point because of the generic size of the marks or the smeared effects of the camera. To solve the problem we used a modified clustering algorithm.

본 논문은 핸드 제스쳐에 의해 증강현실 내의 가상 객체 제어기술로, HOG기반의 핸드 제스쳐 인식을 제안하고 있다. 인식을 위한 특징점들은 HOG불럭들에 의하여 결정되며, 크기가 다른 여러 불럭들을 시험하여 가장 적절한 불럭구성을 결정하며, AdaBoostSVM기법을 사용하여 분류 목적에 가장 적절한 불럭들을 추출한다. 실험 결과 핸드 제스쳐 인식률은 94% 이었다.

This paper presents a motion capture based rehabilitation training system for a lower-limb paretic patient. The system evaluates the rehabilitation status of the patient by using the bend posture of the knees and the weight balance of the body. The posture of both legs is captured with a single camera using the planar mirror. The weight distribution is obtained by the Wii Balance Board. Self-occlusion problem in the tracking of the legs is resolved by using k-nearest neighbor based clustering with body symmetry and local-linearity of the posture data. To do this, we present data normalization and its symmetric property in the normalized vector space.

Many mobile robot navigation methods utilize laser scanners, ultrasonic sensors, vision camera, and so on for detecting obstacles and path following. However, human utilizes only vision(e.g. eye) information for navigation. In this paper, we study a mobile robot control method based on only the camera vision. The Gaussian Mixture Model and a shadow removal technology are used to divide the foreground and the background from the camera image. The mobile robot uses a combined CAMSHIFT and KLT feature tracker algorithms based on the information of the foreground to follow a person. The algorithm is verified by experiments where a person is tracked and followed by a robot in a hallway.

In this paper, we propose a face recognition method using a neuro-fuzzy algorithm. In the preprocessing step, we extract the face part from the background image by tracking face boundaries. Then based on the a priori knowledge of human faces we extract the features such as widths of eyes and mouth, and distances from eye to nose and nose to mouth. In the recognition step. We use a neuro-fuzzy algorithm that employs a fuzzy membership function and modified error backpropagation algorithm. The former absorbs the variation of feature values and the latter shows good learning efficiency. Computer simulation results with 20 persons show that the proposed method gives higher recognition rate than the conventional ones.

Although big-sized markers are good for accurate marker recognition and tracking, they are easily occluded by other objects and deteriorate natural visualization and level of immersion during user interaction in AR environments. In this paper, we propose an approach to exploiting the use of rectangular markers to support tangible AR interaction based on fingertip touch using small-sized markers. It basically adjusts the length, width, and interior area of rectangular markers to make them more suitably fit to longish objects like fingers. It also utilizes convex polygons to resolve the partial occlusion of a marker and properly enlarges the pattern area of a marker while adjusting its size without deteriorating the quality of marker detection. We obtained encouraging results from users that the approach can provide better natural visualization and higher level of immersion, and be accurate and tangible enough to support a pseudo feeling of touching virtual products with human hands or fingertips during design evaluation of digital handheld products.

There are several researches on 2D gaze tracking techniques for the 2D screen for the Human-Computer Interaction. However, the researches for the gaze-based interaction to the stereo images or contents are not reported. The 3D display techniques are emerging now for the reality service. Moreover, the 3D interaction techniques are much more needed in the 3D contents service environments. This paper addresses gaze-based 3D interaction techniques on stereo display, such as parallax barrier or lenticular stereo display. This paper presents our researches on 3D gaze estimation and gaze-based interaction to stereo display.

This paper deals with the biped robot gait on changing the initial postures. Gait of a biped robot depends on the constraints of mechanical kinematics and initial posture. Also biped robot's dynamic walking stability is investigated by ZMP(Zero Moment Point). The path trajectory. with the knee joint bent like a human, is generated and applied with the above considerations. To decrease trajectory tracking error, in this paper, a new initial posture similar to bird's case is proposed and realized with the real robot.

An adaptive fuzzy controller is constructed from a set of fuzzy IF-THEN rules whose parameters are adjusted on-line according to some adaptation law for the purpose of controlling the plant to track a given trajectory. Adaptive fuzzy controller of this paper is designed based on the Lyapunov synthesis approach The adaptive fuzzy controller is designed through the following steps: first, construct an initial controller based on linguistic descriptions(in the form of fuzzy IF-THEN rules) about the unknown plant from human experts; then, develop an adaptation law to adjust the parameters of the fuzzy controller on-line, the adaptive fuzzy controllers are used to control the inverted pendulum to track a given trajectory.
