This paper is about motion gesture recognition system, and proposes the following improvement to the flaws of the current system: a motion gesture recognition system and such algorithm that uses the video image of the entire hand and reading its motion gesture to advance the accuracy of recognition. The motion gesture recognition system includes, an image capturing unit that captures and obtains the images of the area applicable for gesture reading, a motion extraction unit that extracts the motion area of the image, and a hand gesture recognition unit that read the motion gestures of the extracted area. The proposed application of the motion gesture algorithm achieves 20% improvement compared to that of the current system.

In this paper, we propose a new method to improve low light image. In order to improve the image quality of a night image with a moving object as much as the quality of a daytime image, the following tasks were performed. Firstly, we reduce the noisy of the input night image and improve the night image by the tone mapping method. Secondly, we segment the input night image into a foreground with motion and a background without motion. The motion is detected using both the difference between the current frame and the previous frame and the difference between the current frame and the night background image. The background region of the night image takes pixels from corresponding positions in the daytime image. The foreground regions of the night image take the pixels from the corresponding positions of the image which is improved by the tone mapping method. Experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the visual quality more clearly than the existing methods.

In this paper, image processing technique that reduces video images of buoy motion to yield time series of image coordinates of buoy objects will be investigated. The buoy motion images are noisy due to time-varying brightness as well as non-uniform background illumination. The occurrence of boats, wakes, and wind-induced white caps interferes significantly in recognition of buoy objects. Thus, semi-automated procedures consisting of object recognition and image measurement aspects will be conducted. These offer more satisfactory results than a manual process. Spectral analysis shows that the image coordinates of buoy objects represent wave motion well, indicating its usefulness in the analysis of wave characteristics.

Due to the temporal spatial correlation of the image sequence, the motion vector of a block is highly related to the motion vectors of its adjacent blocks in the same image frame. If we can obtain useful and enough information from the adjacent motion vectors, the total number of search points used to find the motion vector of the block may be reduced significantly. Using that idea, an efficient fuzzy prediction search (FPS) algorithm for block motion estimation is proposed in this paper. Based on the fuzzy inference process, the FPS can determine the motion vectors of image blocks quickly and correctly.

The low power motion estimation for MPEG-4 is a soft-core for hardwired motion estimation block in MPEG-4. This motion estimation is modified by 10 difference mode. So, this motion estimation decrease a power consumption compare conventional step search. This modified 4SS Low power Motion Estimation has been tested and verified to be valid for implementation of FPGA. The average PSNR between the original image and the motion-compensated image is 28.25dB. And Power consumption is 26mW.

The stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) display provides a 3D image by inducing binocular disparity for the observers who wear special glasses. With the rapid progress in flat panel display technologies, the stereoscopic 3D display is becoming a new benefit-model of the current display industry, and several kinds of commercial stereoscopic 3D products have been released and are attracting people. Nowadays, the motion picture quality of the 3D image becomes as important as resolution or luminance since most of the commercial 3D products are 3D televisions or 3D monitors which are required to display a clear motion 3D image. In this paper, an analysis and simulation of the motion picture quality of stereoscopic 3D image is proposed, and a comparison of the motion picture performance among the current stereoscopic 3D technologies is also provided.

In this paper, we propose a panorama-based object tracking scheme for wide-view surveillance systems that can detect and track moving objects with a pan-tilt camera. A dynamic mosaic of the background is progressively integrated in a single image using the camera motion information. For the camera motion estimation, we calculate affine motion parameters for each frame sequentially with respect to its previous frame. The camera motion is robustly estimated on the background by discriminating between background and foreground regions. The modified block-based motion estimation is used to separate the background region. Each moving object is segmented by image subtraction from the mosaic background. The proposed tracking system has demonstrated good performance for several test video sequences.

This paper proposes an automatic object segmentation and background composition method for video communication over consumer mobile phones. The object regions were extracted based on the motion and color variance of the first two frames. To combine the motion and variance information, the Euclidean distance between the motion boundary pixel and the neighboring color variance edge pixels was calculated, and the nearest edge pixel was labeled to the object boundary. The labeling results were refined using the morphology for a more accurate and natural-looking boundary. The grow-cut segmentation algorithm begins in the expanded label map, where the inner and outer boundary belongs to the foreground and background, respectively. The segmented object region and a new background image stored a priori in the mobile phone was then composed. In the background composition process, the background motion was measured using the optical-flow, and the final result was synthesized by accurately locating the object region according to the motion information. This study can be considered an extended, improved version of the existing background composition algorithm by considering motion information in a video. The proposed segmentation algorithm reduces the computational complexity significantly by choosing the minimum resolution at each segmentation step. The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm can generate a fast, accurate and natural-looking background composition.

연속된 초음파 영상 시퀀스로부터 파노라마 영상을 만들기 위해서는 인접된 프레임 사이의 움직임을 추정해야 한다. 기존에는 고정 블록 움직임 추정 방법이 주로 사용되고 있는데 본 논문은 정확성을 높이고 계산시간을 단축하기 위해 다해상도 영상을 이용한 특징점 기반 블록 움직임 추정 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 블록 움직임 추정 방법은 규칙적으로 블록을 배치하기 때문에 추정된 움직임의 정확도를 높이기 위해서는 블록의 크기가 커지기 때문에 처리 시간이 오래 걸린다. 본 논문에서는 특징점을 중심으로 블록을 배치하여 움직임 추정의 정확도는 유지하면서 블록의 크기를 줄일 수 있었다. 어파츄어문제(aperture problem)을 줄이기 위해 코너점을 특징점으로 하였다. 움직임 추정 영역은 일정한 크기의 부영역으로 나누고, 각 부영역에서 가장 코너 강도가 큰 점을 선택하였다. 특징점을 선택하는 데는 해리스 스테판 코너검출기를 사용하였다. 코너점들이 한 곳으로 편중될 경우 블록들이 움직임 추정 영역에서 골고루 분산되지 않아 이렇게 구한 블록 움직임을 이용하여 전역 움직임을 구하면 오차가 커진다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 특징점을 선택하는 영역에 제한을 두도록 하였다. 초음파 영상에는 스펙클과 잡음이 많아 코너점을 구하기 전에 영상 평활화를 해야 한다. 계산시간을 줄이고 잡음이 감소된 영상에서 코너점을 구하기 위해 저해상도 영상에서 블록 움직임을 구한 후 점점 고해상도로 확산하는 형태로 다해상도 영상을 사용한다. 실제 세가지 종류의 초음파 영상 시퀀스에 대해 실험결과 제안된 방법은 기존의 방법에 비해 움직임 추정 오차(Displaced Frame Difference)를 평균 66.02에서 58.98로 줄이면서 계산시간은 평균 71ms에서 44ms 으로 빠르게 됨을 알 수 있었다.

In general, the swing motion of the crane is controlled and suppressed by activating the trolley motion. In many papers reported by us, we suggested a new type of anti-sway control system of the crane. In the proposed control system, a small auxiliary mass(moving-mass) is installed on the spreader and the swing motion is controlled by moving the auxiliary mass. The actuator reaction against the auxiliary mass applies inertial control forces to the container in order to reduce the swing motion in the desired manner. The measuring system is based on laser sensor or others. However it is not so useful in real world. Especially, in this paper, the image sensor is used to measures the motions of the spreader and the measured data are fed back to the controller in real time. The applied image processing technique is a kind of robust template matching method which is named Vector Code Correlation (VCC) and devised to consider the real environmental conditions. And the $H_{\infty}$ based control technique is applied to suppress swing motion of the crane. And the experimental result shows that the proposed measurement system based on image sensor and control system is useful and robust to disturbances.
