A spatial augmented reality (SAR) system enables a virtual image to be projected onto the surface of a real-world object and the user to intuitively control the image using a tangible interface. However, occlusions frequently occur, such as a sudden change in the lighting environment or the generation of obstacles. We propose a robust object tracker based on a multithreaded system, which can track an object robustly through occlusions. Our multithreaded tracker is divided into two threads: the detection thread detects distinctive features in a frame-to-frame manner, and the tracking thread tracks features periodically using an optical-flow-based tracking method. Consequently, although the speed of the detection thread is considerably slow, we achieve real-time performance owing to the multithreaded configuration. Moreover, the proposed outlier filtering automatically updates a random sample consensus distance threshold for eliminating outliers according to environmental changes. Experimental results show that our approach tracks an object robustly in real-time in an SAR environment where there are frequent occlusions occurring from augmented projection images.

In image jacobian based visual servoing, generally, inverse jacobian should be calculated by complicated coordinate transformations. These are required excessive computation and the singularity of the image jacobian should be considered. This paper presents a visual servoing to control the pose of the robotic manipulator for tracking and grasping 3-D moving object whose pose and motion parameters are unknown. Because the object is in motion tracking and grasping must be done on-line and the controller must have continuous learning ability. In order to estimate parameters of a moving object we use the kalman filter. And for tracking and grasping a moving object we use a fuzzy inference based reinforcement learning algorithm of dynamic recurrent neural networks. Computer simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performance of this visual servoing

In this paper, we propose a new scheme of motion tracking based on fuzzy inference (FI)and wavelet transform (WT) from image sequences. First, we present a WT to segment a feature extraction of dynamic image . The coefficient matrix for 2-level DWT tent to be clustered around the location of important features in the images, such as edge discontinuities, peaks, and corners. But these features are time varying owing to the environment conditions. Second, to reduce the spatio-temporal error, We develop a fuzzy inference algorithm. Some experiments are peformed to testify the validity and applicability of the proposed system. As a result, proposed method is relatively simple compared with the traditional space domain method. It is also well suited for motion tracking under the conditions of variation of illumination.

Augmented Reality(AR) is the core technology of the future knowledge service industry. It is expected to be used in various fields such as medical, education, entertainment etc. Briefly, augmented reality technology is a technique in which a mapped virtual object is augmented when a real-world object is viewed through a device after mapping a real-world object and a virtual object. In this paper, we implemented object detection and tracking system, which is a key technology of augmented reality. To speed up the object tracking, the ORB algorithm, which is a lightweight algorithm compared to the detection algorithm, is applied. In addition, KNN classifier, which is a machine learning algorithm, was applied to detect a single object by learning multiple images.

본 논문에서는 컬러와 운동 정보를 혼합한 손 추적 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 손의 검출 및 추적은 많은 경우 피부색을 모델링하여 검출을 하는 방식을 사용한다. 하지만 이와 같은 방법으로는 빛이나 주변 사물에 의해 영향을 많이 받기 때문에 정확한 값을 일정하게 도출해 낼 수 없었다. 또한, 피부색에 의존하므로, 손뿐만 아니라 얼굴 및 비부 색과 비슷한 색을 갖는 배경 등에 의해 추적이 방해받을 수 있다. 이에 본 논문은 운동 히스토리 기법(MHI)을 이용하여 움직임을 파악한 후 이를 CamShift와 결합함으로서, 효과적으로 추적할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 제안된 시스템은 C/C++을 기반으로 구현하였으며, 실험에서 제안 방법이 안정적이고 우수한 성능을 보여줌을 증명하였다.

This paper describes the realization of a coordinates tracking algorithm for an EOTS (Electro-Optical Tracking System). The EOTS stabilizes the image sensors, tracks targets automatically, and provides navigation capability for vehicles. The coordinates tracking algorithm calculates the azimuth and the elevation angle of an EOTS using the inertial navigation system and the attitude sensors of the vehicle, so that LOS designates the target coordinates which are generated by a Radar. In the error analysis, the unexpected behaviors of an EOTS due to the time delay and deadbeat of the digital signals of the vehicle equipments are anticipated and the countermeasures are suggested. The application of this algorithm to an EOTS will improve the operational capability by reducing the time which is required to find the target and support flight especially in the night time flight and the poor weather condition.

This paper presents an automatic target tracking flight system using a PID controller based on velocity command of a multirotor UAV. The automatic flight system includes marker based onboard target detection and an automatic velocity command generation replacing manual controller. A quad-rotor UAV is equipped with a camera and an image processing computer to detect the marker in real time and to estimate the relative distance from the target. The marker tracking system consists of PID controller and generates velocity command based on the relative distance. The generated velocity command is used as the input of the UAV's original flight controller. The operation of the proposed system was verified through actual flight tests using a marker on top of a moving vehicle and tracks it to successfully demonstrate its capability using a quad-rotor UAV.
