In this paper, a novel type of a visual servoing method is proposed for eye-in-hand robots by employing a self-organizing fuzzy controller. For this is there defined a new Jacobian riot to be the function of a relative position of the object but to be a function of the only image features. Instead of obtaining an analytic form of the proposed Jacobian, a self-organizing fuzzy controller is then proposed to alleviate difficulties in real-time implementation. To show the validities, the proposed method is applied to a 2-dimensional visual servoing task.

This paper presents how it is effective to use many features for improving the speed and the accuracy of the visual servo systems. Some rank conditions which relate the image Jacobian and the control performance are derived. It is also proven that the accuracy is improved by increasing the number of features. Effectiveness of the redundant features is evaluated by the smallest singular value of the image Jacobian which is closely related to the accuracy with respect to the world coordinate system. Usefulness of the redundant features is verified by the real time experiments on a Dual-Arm Robot manipulator made in Samsung Electronic Co. Ltd.

This paper proposes a visual servoing method based on QR decomposition and disturbance observer. The QR decomposition factors the image feature Jacobian into a unitary matrix and an upper triangular matrix. And it is shown that several performance indices such as measurement sensitivity of visual features, sensitivity of the control to noise and controllability can be improved for any general image feature Jacobian by QR decomposition and disturbance observer. To show the validity of the proposed approach, visual servoing with stereo vision is carried out for a Samsung FARAMAN 6-axis industrial robot manipulator.

In this paper, we address the problem of controlling an end-effector to track and grab a moving target using the visual servoing technique. A visual servo mechanism based on the image-based servoing principle, is proposed by using visual feedback to control an end-effector without calibrated robot and camera models. Firstly, we consider the control problem as a nonlinear least squares optimization and update the joint angles through the Taylor Series Expansion. And to track a moving target in real time, the Jacobian estimation scheme(Dynamic Broyden's Method) is used to estimate the combined robot and image Jacobian. Using this algorithm, we can drive the objective function value to a neighborhood of zero. To show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, simulation results for a six degree of freedom robot are presented.

Visual servoing is the fusion of results from many elemental areas including high-speed image processing, kinematics, dynamics, control theory, and real-time computing. It has much in common with research into active vision and structure from motion, but is quite different from the often described use of vision in hierarchical task-level robot control systems. We present a new approach to visual feedback control using image-based visual servoing with the stereo vision in this paper. In order to control the position and orientation of a robot with respect to an object, a new technique is proposed using a binocular stereo vision. The stereo vision enables us to calculate an exact image Jacobian not only at around a desired location but also at the other locations. The suggested technique can guide a robot manipulator to the desired location without giving such priori knowledge as the relative distance to the desired location or the model of an object even if the initial positioning error is large. This paper describes a model of stereo vision and how to generate feedback commands. The performance of the proposed visual servoing system is illustrated by the simulation and experimental results and compared with the case of conventional method for dual-arm robot made in Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.

In this study, an iterative maximum a posteriori (MAP) approach using a Bayesian model of Markovrandom field (MRF) was proposed for despeckling images that contains speckle. Image process is assumed to combine the random fields associated with the observed intensity process and the image texture process respectively. The objective measure for determining the optimal restoration of this "double compound stochastic" image process is based on Bayes' theorem, and the MAP estimation employs the Point-Jacobian iteration to obtain the optimal solution. In the proposed algorithm, MRF is used to quantify the spatial interaction probabilistically, that is, to provide a type of prior information on the image texture and the neighbor window of any size is defined for contextual information on a local region. However, the window of a certain size would result in using wrong information for the estimation from adjacent regions with different characteristics at the pixels close to or on boundary. To overcome this problem, the new method is designed to use less information from more distant neighbors as the pixel is closer to boundary. It can reduce the possibility to involve the pixel values of adjacent region with different characteristics. The proximity to boundary is estimated using a non-uniformity measurement based on standard deviation of local region. The new scheme has been extensively evaluated using simulation data, and the experimental results show a considerable improvement in despeckling the images that contain speckle.

Irregular temporal sampling is a common feature of geophysical and biological time series in remote sensing. This study proposes an on-line system for reconstructing observation image series contaminated by noises resulted from mechanical problems or sensing environmental condition. There is also a high likelihood that during the data acquisition periods the target site corresponding to any given pixel may be covered by fog or cloud, thereby resulting in bad or missing observation. The surface parameters associated with the land are usually dependent on the climate, and many physical processes that are displayed in the image sensed from the land then exhibit temporal variation with seasonal periodicity. A feedback system proposed in this study reconstructs a sequence of images remotely sensed from the land surface having the physical processes with seasonal periodicity. The harmonic model is used to track seasonal variation through time, and a Gibbs random field (GRF) is used to represent the spatial dependency of digital image processes. The experimental results of this simulation study show the potentiality of the proposed system to reconstruct the image series observed by imperfect sensing technology from the environment which are frequently influenced by bad weather. This study provides fundamental information on the elements of the proposed system for right usage in application.

Lee(2009)에서 영상 강도를 위해서 lognormal 확률 모형과 영상 texture를 위해서 Markov random field(MRF)에 기반하는 Bayesian 모형을 사용하는 boundary-adaptive despeckling 방법을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 speckle 제거 영상의 최대 사후(maximum a posteriori: MAP) 추정치를 구하기 위해서 Point-Jacobian iteration을 이용한다 인접하고 있는 다른 특성의 지역에 위치한 화소의 값을 사용하는 가능성을 줄이기 위해 Boundary-adaptive algorithm은 경계에 가까울 수록 멀리 떨어진 이웃 화소로부터 정보를 덜 수집하도록 고안된다. 이러한 boundary-adaptive 방법은 전반적으로 simulation 자료를 사용하여 Lee(2009)에서 평가되었고 그리고 제안된 방법의 효험을 증명하였다. 본 연구는 Lee(2009)의 확장 연구로 MAP 추정치를 구하기 반복 algorithm의 계산 효율성을 증가 시키고 noise 제거와 함께 분류를 수행하는 수정 algorithm을 제안한다. Simulation 자료를 사용한 실험을 통해서 boundary-adaption이 분류 오류를 줄여줄 뿐 아니라 더욱 명확한 경계선을 보여준다는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 영종도 서해안에서 관측된 고해상도 Terra-SAR data에 적용한 결과는 boundary-adaption은 SAR 활용에서 분석의 정확성을 개선 시킬 수 있다는 것을 암시한다.

본 논문은 로봇 매니퓰레이터의 엔드 이펙터(end-effector)에 부착된 스테레오 카메라를 사용하여 움직이는 물체의 초기자세나 이동에 관한 정보가 미지인 3차원 물체의 파지(grasping)를 위해서, 로봇 매니퓰레이터의 자세(위치 및 방위)제어에 관한 새로운 비주얼 서보잉(visual servoing)을 제안한다. 로봇 매니퓰레이터의 현재의 자세를 목표자세에 잘 추적하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 카메라 자세에 대한 대상물체의 자세변화와 이미지상의 특정점 변화를 기술하는 관계식인 이미지 Jacobian을 미분변환을 이용하여 구했으며, 로봇 매니퓰레이터의 제어를 위해서는 간단한 PD제어기를 사용하였다. 마지막으로 다양한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 수법의 유효성을 확인했다.
