Image registration is one of the critical techniques of image mosaic which has many applications such as generating panoramas, video monitoring, image rendering and reconstruction, etc. The fundamental tasks of image registration are point features extraction and tracking which take much computation time. KLT(Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) feature tracker has proposed for extracting and tracking features through image sequences. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the usage of effective and robust KLT feature detector and tracker for an image registration using the sequence image frames captured by UAV video camera. In result, by using iterative implementation of the KLT tracker, the features extracted from the first frame of image sequences could be successfully tracked through all frames. The process of feature tracking in the various frames with rotation, translation and small scaling could be improved by a careful choice of the process condition and KLT pyramid implementation.

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.

This paper presents the improved KLT(Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) of registration of Image sequence captured by camera mounted on unmanned helicopter assuming without camera attitude information. It consists of following procedures for the proposed image registration. The initial interested points are detected by characteristic curve matching via dynamic programming which has been used for detecting and tracking corner points thorough image sequence. Outliers of tracked points are then removed by using Random Sample And Consensus(RANSAC) robust estimation and all remained corner points are classified as inliers by homography algorithm. The rectified images are then resampled by bilinear interpolation. Experiment shows that our method can make the suitable registration of image sequence with large motion.

본 논문에서는 KLT(Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) 추적기에서 특징점의 개수를 일정하게 유지시키기 위해 존재하는 특징점의 관리 부분을 FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array)에 구현하기 위한 구조를 제안한다. FPGA 에 구현하기 위해 한정된 자원을 효과적으로 사용하도록 하는 것을 목표로 연산량이 많은 부분을 적은 연산량으로 구현 가능한 것으로 대체하고, 메모리의 크기와 접근 회수를 줄이기 위한 방법을 고려했다. 구현이 간단한 Harris 코너 검출기를 이용하여 특징점을 선택하고, 나눗셈 연산이 필요 없는 히스토그램을 이용하여 임계값을 설정해 특징점을 관리했다. C 언어로 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 제안한 방법을 확인했고, 기존의 특징점 관리 방법과의 비교를 통해 검증했다.
