In autonomous navigation of a mobile vehicle or a mobile robot, localization calculated from recognizing its environment is most important factor. Generally, we can determine position and pose of a camera equipped mobile vehicle or mobile robot using INS and GPS but, in this case, we must use enough known ground landmark for accurate localization. hi contrast with homography method to calculate position and pose of a camera by only using the relation of two dimensional feature point between two frames, in this paper, we propose a method to calculate the position and the pose of a camera using relation between the location to predict through perspective transform of 3D feature points obtained by overlaying 3D model with previous frame using GPS and INS input and the location of corresponding feature point calculated using KLT tracking method in current frame. For the purpose of the performance evaluation, we use wireless-controlled vehicle mounted CCD camera, GPS and INS, and performed the test to calculate the location and the rotation angle of the camera with the video sequence stream obtained at 15Hz frame rate.

In this paper, we present automatic face detection and tracking which is robustness in rotation and translation. Detecting a face image, we used Haar-like feature, which is fast detect facial image. Also tracking, we applied Lucas-Kanade feature tracker and KLT algorithm, which has robustness for rotated facial image. In experiment result, we confirmed that face detection and tracking which is robustness in rotation and translation.

The increased availability of portable, low-cost, high resolution video equipments have resulted in a rapid growth of the applications for video sequences. These video devices can be mounted in handhold unit, mobile unit and airborne platforms like maned or unmaned helicopter, plane, airship, etc. This paper describes the feasibility fur generating image map from the experimental results we designed to track the interested points extracted by KLT operator in the neighboring frames and implement image matching for each frames taken from UAV (Unmaned Aerial Vehicle). In the image registration for neighbourhood frames of aerial video, the results demonstrate the successful rate of matching slightly decreases as the drift between frames increases, and also that the stable photographing is more important matching condition than the pixel shift.

This paper deals with a color-based tracking of a moving object. Firstly, existing Camshift algorithm is complemented to improve the tracking weakness in the brightness change of an image which occurs in every frame. The complemented Camshift still shows unstable tracking when the objects with same color of the tracking object exist in background. In order to overcome the drawback this paper proposes the Camshift combined with KLT algorithm based on optical flow. The KLT algorithm performing the pixel-based feature tracking can complement the shortcoming of Camshift. Experimental results show that the merged tracking method makes up for the drawback of the Camshit algorithm and also improves tracking performance.

본 논문은 스테레오 카메라를 통해 얻은 변이 정보를 이용하여, 3 차원으로 머리의 회전 각도를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 머리 회전에 의한 주시 방향은 사람이 관심을 가지는 방향이므로 이동을 추정하는 것에 비해 많은 중요성을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 얼굴 영역 내의 여러 특징점들 중 3 개의 특징점들을 포함하는 여러 평면(Plane)이 머리가 이동하더라도, 그 평면들 사이의 각은 변하지 않으므로, 회전 각도 추정에 영향을 주지 않는 점을 이용하여 회전 각도를 추정하였다. 또한, 기존 논문이 카메라 보정을 통해 3 차원 위치를 측정하지만, 제안하는 방법은 변이 공간에서 회전 각도를 추정하기 때문에 카메라 보정 과정이 필요하지 않다. 변이 정보를 얻기 위한 스테레오 장비는 평행 카메라 모델로 가정하며, 얼굴 내의 특징점은 KLT(Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) 특징 추적 알고리즘을 이용하였다. 실험결과는 기준 영상에 대하여 추정된 3 차원 각도를 나타낸다.

The purpose of this paper is an image processing algorithm development as a base research achieving performance enhancement of integrated navigation system. We used the SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm for image processing, and developed feature point matching filter for rejecting mismatched points. By applying the proposed algorithm, it is obtained better result than other methods of parameter tuning and KLT based feature point tracking. For further study, integration with INS and algorithm optimization for the real-time implementation are under investigation.

This paper explains effective tracking method for a vehicle cutting in a line on the road automatically. The method employs KLT based on optical flow using play-back image sequence. Main contribution of this paper is play-back image sequence that is in order image frames for rewind direction from a reference point in time. The moment when recognizing camera can read a license plate very well can usually be the reference point in time. The biggest images of object traced can usually be obtained at this moment also. When optic flow is applied, the bigger image of the object traced can be obtained, the more feature points can be obtained. More many feature points bring good result of tracking object. After the recognizing cameras read a license plate on the vehicle suspected of cut-in-line violation, and then the system extracts the play-back image sequence from the tracking cameras for watching wide range. This paper compares using play-back image sequence as normal method for tracking to using play-forward image sequence as suggested method on the results of the experiment and also shows the suggested algorithm has a good performance that can be applied to the unmanned system for watching cut-in-line violation.

본 논문에서는 3차원 복원을 위한 특징점 추출 및 매칭에 대한 보다 정확한 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 컴퓨터 비전의 기본이 되는 분야로 복원뿐 만 아니라 SLAM과 같은 지도 작성 및 자율 운행에도 필요한 방법이다. 본 연구는 3차원 물체 복원을 위해서 사용하는 방법 중 하나인 Column space fitting(CSF)을 이용하여 turntable-image data에 적용하여 성능을 평가하여 정확성을 검증을 한다. 오늘날 3D scanner를 이용하여 물체를 3차원 모델을 획득하고 3D프린터를 이용하여 다양한 분야에 적용한다. 그러나 고가의 장비이기 때문에 접근성이 떨어진다. 본 연구는 영상들만을 가지고 기하학적 계산을 통해 3차원 모델을 획득한다. 본 연구결과는 기존의 방법인 KLT 알고리즘과 비교하여 RMSE의 값을 약 5배를 줄이는 성능 향상을 보인다.

The increased availability of portable, low-cost, high resolution video devices has resulted in a rapid growth of the applications for video sequences. These video devices can be mounted in handhold unit, mobile unit and airborne platforms like maned or unmaned helicopter, plane, airship, etc. A core technique in use of video sequences is to align neighborhood video frames to each other or to reference images. For video sequences registration, we extracted interested points from aerial video sequences using Harris, $F{\square}rstner$, and KLT operators and implemented image matching using these points. As the result, we analysed image matching results for each operators and evaluated accuracy of aerial video registration.

본 논문에서는 다시점 카메라부터 획득된 부분적인 3D 점군을 사용하여 실내환경의 3D 복원을 위한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 지금까지 다양한 양안차 추정 알고리즘이 제안되었으며, 이는 활용 가능한 깊이 영상이 다양함을 의미한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 일반화된 다시점 카메라를 이용하여 실내환경을 복원하는 방법을 다룬다. 첫 번째, 3D 점군들의 시간적 특성을 기반으로 변화량이 큰 3D 점들을 제거하고, 공간적 특성을 기반으로 주변의 3D 점을 참조하여 빈 영역을 채움으로써 깊이 영상 정제 과정을 수행한다. 두 번째, 연속된 두 시점에서의 3D 점군을 동일한 영상 평면으로 투영하고, 수정된 KLT (Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) 특징 추적기를 사용하여 대응점을 찾는다. 그리고 대응점 간의 거리 오차를 최소화함으로써 정밀한 정합을 수행한다. 마지막으로, 여러 시점에서 획득된 3D 점군과 한 쌍의 2D 영상을 동시에 이용하여 3D 점들의 위치를 세밀하게 조절함으로써 최종적인 3D 모델을 생성한다. 제안된 방법은 대응점을 2D 영상 평면에서 찾음으로써 계산의 복잡도를 줄였으며, 3D 데이터의 정밀도가 낮은 경우에도 효과적으로 동작한다. 또한, 다시점 카메라를 이용함으로써 수 시점에서의 깊이 영상과 컬러 영상만으로도 실내환경 3D 복원이 가능하다. 제안된 방법은 네비게이션 뿐만 아니라 상호작용을 위한 3D 모델 생성에 활용될 수 있다.
