There are two kinks of processes could detect the laser pointer. One is the process which detects the location of the pointer. the other one is a possibility of dividing with the process which converts the coordinate of the laser pointer which is input in coordinate of the monitor. The previous Mean-Shift algorithm is not appropriately for real-time video image to calculate many quantity. In this paper, we proposed the context driven real-time laser pointer detection and tracking. The proposed method is a possibility of getting the result which is fixed from the situation which the background and the background which are complicated dynamically move. In the actual environment, we can get to give constant results when the object come in, when going out at forecast boundary. Ultimately, this paper suggests empirical application to verify the adequacy and the validity with the proposed method. Accordingly, the accuracy and the quality of image recognition will be improved the surveillance system.

In this paper, we propose a new integrated computer vision system designed to track multiple human beings and extract their silhouette with an active stereo camera. The proposed system consists of three modules: detection, tracking and silhouette extraction. Detection was performed by camera ego-motion compensation and disparity segmentation. For tracking, we present an efficient mean shift based tracking method in which the tracking objects are characterized as disparity weighted color histograms. The silhouette was obtained by two-step segmentation. A trimap is estimated in advance and then this was effectively incorporated into the graph cut framework for fine segmentation. The proposed system was evaluated with respect to ground truth data and it was shown to detect and track multiple people very well and also produce high quality silhouettes. The proposed system can assist in gesture and gait recognition in field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI).

We suggest that HSV Color Space may be used to detect a vehicle detecting system at nighttime. It is essential that a licence plate should be extracted when a vehicle is under surveillance. To do so, a licence plate may be enlarged to certain size after the aimed vehicle is taken picture from a distance by using Pan-Tilt-Zoom Camera. Either Mean-Shift or Optical Flow Algorithm is generally used for the purpose of a vehicle detection and trace, even though those algorithms have tendency to have difficulty in detection and trace a vehicle at night. By utilizing the fact that a headlight or taillight of a vehicle stands out when an input image is converted in to HSV Color Space, we are able to achieve improvement on those algorithms for the vehicle detection and trace. In this paper, we have shown that at night, the suggested method is efficient enough to detect a vehicle 93.9% from the front and 97.7% from the back.

Recently entered into an aging socity as the number of elderly drivers is increasing. Traffic accidents of elderly drivers are caused by driver inattentions such as poor vehicle control due to aging, visual information retrieval problems caused by presbyopia, and objects identifying problems caused by low contrast sensitivity. In this paper, detection method of ROIs on the road is proposed. The proposed method creates the saliency map to detect the candidate ROIs from the input image. And, the input image is segmented to obtain the ROIs boundary. Finally, selective visual attention regions are detected according to the presence or absence of a segmented region with saliency pixels. Experimental results from a variety of outdoor environmental conditions, the proposed method presented a fast object detection and a high detection rate.

This paper describes a structure of adaptive equalizer to improve reception performance of ATSC digital television (DTV) for 8-VSB receivers. There are many strong and dynamic echoes affecting reliable reception of DTV signal. Conventional DFE based least mean square (LMS) algorithm is readily implemented and has good Performance. There are still problems to be solved, however, in handling strong echoes and indoor reception. In this paper, structure of adaptive equalizer to mitigate these Problems in strong multipath interference conditions and indoor reception environment is first presented. Methods to reduce error propagation effects on DFE and initialization scheme of filter coefficients for fast convergence are then introduced. Computer simulation results prove that an adaptive equalizer with proposed design methods can combat with Brazil Ensemble and the Threshold of Visibility(TOV) is improved.

본 논문은 윤곽선이 두드러지는 Saliency Map모델을 생성하고 객체 후보 영상을 획득하여 객체를 추출할 수 있는 기법에 관한 연구이다. 제안하는 기법은 객체의 윤곽선 정보가 두드러지는 Saliency Map을 생성하기 위해 에지(Edge), 초점(Focus), 엔트로피(Entropy)를 특징 정보로써 사용하고, 획득한 Saliency Map의 임계화 과정 및 라벨링 과정을 통해 배경 영역을 제거한 객체 후보 영상을 획득한다. 이후 Mean Shift Segmentation 알고리즘을 적용한 영상의 세그먼트별 객체 후보 영상의 픽셀 평균값을 적용한 영상을 다시 라벨링 과정을 이용하여 객체를 추출한다.

In this paper, we propose a face detection method for medical service robot. The proposed method is robust in complex background and light. Our method is performed by three steps. Firstly the background is eliminated using mean shift algorithm. Thereafter, based on color space, face is extracted. Finally the object is extracted using Haar-like feature method. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed system, it was tested and experimental results show that the proposed method is applicable for medical service robot.

본 논문에서 우리는 도로 영역과 하늘 영역, 그리고 도로와 하늘이 아닌 나머지 영역으로 분할하기 위해 동적인(dynamic) 패턴을 이용한 적응적인(adaptive) 병합 방법을 제안한다. 원본영상에서 Mean Shift 알고리즘과 라벨링(Labeling)을 수행하고 영역을 과분할 한다. 컬러에 의해서 도로와 하늘영역이 검출되지 못하는 영역을 위해서 도로 영역과 하늘 영역에서 동적인 패턴 추출한 후 매칭을 통해 유사 영역을 병합한다. 이것은 도로와 하늘의 정보를 현재 환경에서 적응적으로 추출하는 방법이다. 실험에서 정적인(static) 패턴을 사용해서 병합하는 방법과 동적인 패턴을 사용해서 병합하는 방법을 비교하였다. 그 결과, 동적인 패턴을 사용하였을 때 8.12%의 향상된 성능을 보였다.

영상에서 경계선의 추출의 저수준 영상 처리에서 매우 중요하다. 하지만 대다수의 경계선 추출 방법들은 노이즈들의 영역이 많기 때문에 효율적이지 못하고 영상이 서로 다르기 때문에 유연하지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제 해결을 위하여 우선 노이즈 감소 단계를 제시한다. 그리고 점진적인 변화 폭의 히스토그램과 내부 클래스 최소 변이상의 양쪽 임계값들을 자동으로 선택하도록 한다.

본 논문은 얼굴 특징 추적을 이용한 새로운 인터페이스를 제안한다. 눈의 움직임만으로 구현된 기존의 시스템은 마우스 클릭 이벤트에 걸리는 waiting time으로 인해 속도 개선이 필요했다. 이를 위해서 본 논문에서는 눈의 움직임 뿐 아니라 입의 움직임도 인식하여 사용자의 요구를 처리할 수 있는 시스템을 개발한다. 제안된 시스템은 얼굴 검출 모듈, 눈 검출 모들, 입 검출 모듈, 얼굴 특징 추적 모듈, 마우스 제어모듈의 5 가지 모듈로 구성되어 있다. 먼저, 피부색 모델과 연결 성분 분석을 이용하여 얼굴을 검출하고 신경망 기반의 분류기와 에지 검출기를 이용하여 검출된 얼굴 영역에서 눈과 입을 찾는다. 이후 프레임에서는 mean-shift 알고리즘과 템플릿 매칭을 이용하여 눈과 입이 정확하게 추적되어 눈의 움직임으로 마우스의 포인트를 움직이고 입의 움직임으로 메뉴나 아이콘을 클릭하게 된다. 제안된 시스템의 효율성을 검증하기 위해서 웹 브라우저의 인터페이스로 활용하였다. 25명의 사용자에 대해 실험한 결과는 제안된 시스템이 보다 편리하고 친숙한 인터페이스로 활용될 수 있다는 것을 보여주었다.
