Most of life thing including human being have tendency of reaction with inherently their own pattern against environmental change caused by such as light, sound, smell etc. Especially, a sense of direction often works as a very important factor in such reaction. Actually, human or animal lift that can react instantly to a stimulus determine their action with a sense of direction to a stimulant. In this paper, we try to propose how to give a sense of direction to a robot using sound being representative stimulant, and tracking sensors being able to detect the direction of such sound source. We also try to propose how to determine the relative directions among devices or robots using the digital compass and the RSSI on wireless network.

3D reconstruction of a human face from an image sequence remains an important problem in computer vision. We propose a method, based on a factorization algorithm, that reconstructs a 3D face model from short image sequences exhibiting rotational motion. Factorization algorithms can recover structure and motion simultaneously from one image sequence, but they usually require that all feature points be well tracked. Under rotational motion, however, feature tracking often fails due to occlusion and frame out of features. Additionally, the paucity of images may make feature tracking more difficult or decrease reconstruction accuracy. The proposed 3D reconstruction approach can handle short image sequences exhibiting rotational motion wherein feature points are likely to be missing. We implement the proposal as a reconstruction method; it employs image sequence division and a feature tracking method that uses Active Appearance Models to avoid the failure of feature tracking. Experiments conducted on an image sequence of a human face demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

인간과 로봇이 같은 공간에서 작업을 할 경우가 많아짐에 따라 안전성을 고려한 로봇의 제어가 필요하다. 안정성을 위해서 로봇은 인간의 힘에 순응해야 함으로 낮은 임피던스가 요구되는 반면에 높은 제어성능을 갖도록 하기 위해서는 외란에 강인하기 위해서는 높은 임피던스가 요구된다. 이러한 이율배반적인 목적을 달성하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 적분슬라이딩모드와 외란관측기(DOB)를 사용하여 인간의 힘 이외의 외란에는 강인한 특성을 보이고 인간의 힘에는 순응할 수 있는 제어기를 설계한다. 인간의 동작이 특정 주파수의 범위에 있다는 사실에 근거하여 인간에 의한 외란인 경우의 외란에 대해서는 로봇이 순응하도록 슬라이딩모드를 설계하는 것이 본 논문의 독창적인 아이디어이다.

Robots will be able to coexist with humans and support humans effectively in near future. One of the most important aspects in the development of human-friendly robots is to cooperation between humans and robots. In this paper, we proposed a method for multi-object identification in order to achieve such human-centered system and robot localization in intelligent space. The intelligent space is the space where many intelligent devices, such as computers and sensors, are distributed. The Intelligent Space achieves the human centered services by accelerating the physical and psychological interaction between humans and intelligent devices. As an intelligent device of the Intelligent Space, a color CCD camera module, which includes processing and networking part, has been chosen. The Intelligent Space requires functions of identifying and tracking the multiple objects to realize appropriate services to users under the multi-camera environments. In order to achieve seamless tracking and location estimation many camera modules are distributed. They causes some errors about object identification among different camera modules. This paper describes appearance based object representation for the distributed vision system in Intelligent Space to achieve consistent labeling of all objects. Then, we discuss how to learn the object color appearance model and how to achieve the multi-object tracking under occlusions.

최근 영상 콘텐츠의 확산에 따라 기존 콘텐츠들이 동영상으로 전환되고 있으며, 새로운 플랫폼들의 등장으로 인해 영상 콘텐츠 생태계의 성장은 가속화되고 있다. 이처럼 가속화된 성장은 전문가의 영역으로 분류되던 동영상 제작 및 편집 기술들을 일반인들 또한 쉽게 접하고 이용할 수 있도록 기술의 보편화 과정에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 이러한 기술들의 발전으로 인해 사람의 수작업을 통해서만 영상을 녹화하고 조절하던 과정들을 객체 추적 기술에 기반하여 자동으로 촬영하고자 하는 객체를 찾아 화면의 정중앙에 위치시켜 영상을 녹화하는 자동화 과정이 가능하게 되었다. 하지만 추적하고자 하는 객체를 지정하는 일은 아직까지 사람의 수작업을 요구하며 객체를 지정하는 수작업 과정에서 지연이나 객체 지정에 실수가 발생할 수도 있다. 이에 따라, 본 연구에서는 Haar Cascade Classifier를 활용한 얼굴 탐지기법과 CMT 객체 추적 알고리즘을 결합한 새로운 객체 추적 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 스마트폰에서 실시간 연속적인 객체추적을 위한 효율적이고 강인한 영상추적 시스템에 잘 응용될 수 있다.

Multi-tracking of general objects and specific faces is an important topic in the field of computer vision applicable to many branches of industry such as biometrics, security, etc. The rapid development of deep neural networks has resulted in a dramatic improvement in face recognition and object detection problems, which helps improve the multiple-face tracking techniques exploiting the tracking-by-detection method. Our proposed method uses face detection trained with a head dataset to resolve the face deformation problem in the tracking process. Further, we use robust face features extracted from the deep face recognition network to match the tracklets with tracking faces using Hungarian matching method. We achieved promising results regarding the usage of deep face features and head detection in a face tracking benchmark.

This paper proposes a novel computer human interface, named Virtual Wireless Microphone (VWM), which utilizes computer vision and signal processing. It integrates real-time face tracking and sound signal processing. VWM is intended to be used as a speech signal input method for human computer interaction, especially for autonomous intelligent agent that interacts with humans like as digital secretary. Utilizing VWM, the agent can clearly listen human master's voice remotely as if a wireless microphone was put just in front of the master.

Wireless wearable sensor networks have emerged as a promising technique for human motion tracking due to the flexibility and scalability. In such system several wireless sensor nodes being attached to human limb construct a wearable sensor network, where each sensor node including MEMS sensors (such as 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis magnetometer and 3-axis gyroscope) monitors the limb orientation and transmits these information to the base station for reconstruction via low-power wireless communication technique. Due to the energy constraint, the high fidelity requirement for real time rendering of human motion and tiny operating system embedded in each sensor node adds more challenges for the system implementation. In this paper, we discuss such challenges and experiences in detail during the implementation of such system with wireless wearable sensor network which includes COTS wireless sensor nodes (Imote 2) and uses TinyOS 1.x in each sensor node. Since our system uses the COTS sensor nodes and popular tiny operating system, it might be helpful for further exploration in such field.

In this paper we describe a motion tracking algorithm for 3D human animation using stereo vision system. This allows us to extract the motion data of the end effectors of human body by following the movement through segmentation process in HIS or RGB color model, and then blob analysis is used to detect robust shape. When two hands or two foots are crossed at any position and become disjointed, an adaptive algorithm is presented to recognize whether it is left or right one. And the real motion is the 3-D coordinate motion. A mono image data is a data of 2D coordinate. This data doesn't acquire distance from a camera. By stereo vision like human vision, we can acquire a data of 3D motion such as left, right motion from bottom and distance of objects from camera. This requests a depth value including x axis and y axis coordinate in mono image for transforming 3D coordinate. This depth value(z axis) is calculated by disparity of stereo vision by using only end-effectors of images. The position of the inner joints is calculated and 3D character can be visualized using inverse kinematics.
