This paper presents a distance perception model based around a moving camera, in the context of driving a self-guidance vehicle. Aligned images, by escape points, and acquired by a moving camera, present objects at different positions depending on its relative distance to camera. The objects that are farthest from the observer(the camera) gradually lose their alignment as the distance diminishes. With the current setup, this lack of alignment is noticeable up to a distance of 10 meters. In the paper, the results of real imagery tests are presented and discussed.

PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera based surveillance systems are enlarging their field of application due to their wide observable area. We aimed to detect both static and moving objects in automated working space by using a PTZ camera. For object detection we used background difference method because of the high quality segmentation. However, the method has a problem called 'hole' that is caused by non-continuous surveillance of the PTZ camera and its own characteristics. Moreover, the occlusion which occurs when the moving object overlaps with the static object should be solved for robust object detection. In this paper, we suggest a region-based technique for updating background images thereby overcoming the hole and occlusion problem. Through experiments with real scenes, it was verified that meaningful static and/or moving objects were detected very well.

This paper proposes a signal generation method for automatic control of a monitoring camera. Using the control signal, the monitoring camera can track a moving object and keep it near the image center for a longer time. The proposed method is estimated in the experiments that automatically move a maker located at the specified position to the image center.

This paper describes a new feature based tracking system that can track moving objects with a pan-tilt camera. We extract corner features of the scene and tracks the features using filtering, The global motion energy caused by camera movement is eliminated by finding the maximal matching position between consecutive frames using Pyramidal template matching. The region of moving object is segmented by clustering the motion trajectories and command the pan-tilt controller to follow the object such that the object will always lie at the center of the camera. The proposed system has demonstrated good performance for several video sequences.

본 논문에서는 이동 카메라 환경에서 이동 및 이동 중 정지물체를 검출하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 이동 중에 일시적으로 정지한 물체는 검출 결과의 응용관점에서 볼 때 이동물체의 검출만큼이나 중요한데, 기존의 이동물체 검출 방법들은 이들을 배경과 구분하지 못하는 한계를 갖는다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안하는 방법에서는 이동 가능성 큐, 위치 가능성 큐, 그리고 색 분포 유사성 큐를 정의하여 이동물체 검출 및 지속적인 추적에 이용한다. 그래프 컷 알고리즘은 세 개의 큐를 결합하여 시공간 영상분할을 수행함으로써 이동 및 이동 중 정지물체를 검출한다. 제안하는 방법은 이동물체 뿐 아니라 이동 중 정지물체에 대해서도 검출이 가능함을 실험을 통해 증명하였다.

In this study, a novel method for dimension measurement of large-scale moving objects using stereo camera with 2-degree of freedom (2-DOF) mechanism is presented. The proposed method utilizes both the advantages of stereo vision technique and the enlarged visibility range of camera due to 2-DOF rotary mechanism in measuring large-scale moving objects. The measurement system employs a stereo camera combined with a 2-DOF rotary mechanism that allows capturing separate corners of the measured object. The measuring algorithm consists of two main stages. First, three-dimensional (3-D) positions of the corners of the measured object are determined based on stereo vision algorithms. Then, using the rotary angles of the 2-DOF mechanism the dimensions of the measured object are calculated via coordinate transformation. The proposed system can measure the dimensions of moving objects with relatively slow and steady speed. We showed that the proposed system guarantees high measuring accuracy with some experiments.

본 논문에서는 카메라 회전에 의한 배경의 왜곡이 존재하는 환경에서 조명변화와 대상물체의 흔들림에도 강건한 에지 세그먼트 정합을 통한 이동물체 자동 검출방법을 제안한다. 이동물체 검출을 위한 기존의 연구는 카메라가 고정되어 있는 환경을 대상으로 한 연구가 주를 이루지만 응용분야의 확대로 카메라를 회전함으로써 하나의 카메라로 보다 넓은 영역을 커버할 수 있는 시스템에 대한 요구가 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 왜곡이 적은 에지세그먼트 기반 배경 파노라마 영상 생성 방안, 왜곡이 포함된 파노라마 영상에서 신속하게 현재 영상의 배경에지영상을 추출할 수 있는 에지특징 기반 GHT를 이용한 배경영상생성 방안, 시점의 차이와 왜곡을 극복하고 신뢰성 있게 이동 에지 세그먼트를 추출할 수 있는 에지 정합방안을 제안한다. 실험결과 제안한 방법은 조명 변화와 카메라의 흔들림에도 정확한 이동물체 검출이 가능함이 입증되었다.

This paper presents the robot vision control schemes based on the Newton-Raphson (N-R) and the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) methods for the tracking of moving targets. The vision system model used in this study involves the six camera parameters. The difference is that refers to the uncertainty of the camera's orientation and focal length, and refers to the unknown relative position between the camera and the robot. Both N-R and EKF methods are employed towards the estimation of the six camera parameters. Based on the these six parameters estimated using three cameras, the robot's joint angles are computed with respect to the moving targets, using both N-R and EKF methods. The two robot vision control schemes are tested by tracking the moving target experimentally. Given the experimental results, the two robot control schemes are compared in order to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.

In the intelligent video surveillance, recognizing the moving objects is important issue. However, the conventional moving object recognition methods have some problems, that is, the influence of light, the distinguishing between similar colors, and so on. The recognition methods for the moving objects using depth information have been also studied, but these methods have limit of accuracy because the depth camera cannot measure the depth value accurately. In this paper, we propose a recognition method for the moving objects by using both the depth and the color information. The depth information is used for extracting areas of moving object and then the color information for correcting the extracted areas. Through tests with typical videos including moving objects, we confirmed that the proposed method could extract areas of moving objects more accurately than a method using only one of two information. The proposed method can be not only used in CCTV field, but also used in other fields of recognizing moving objects.

In this paper, efficient tracking of a moving object using optimal representative blocks is implemented by a mobile robot with a pan-tilt camera. The key idea comes from the fact that when the image size of moving object is shrunk in an image frame according to the distance between the camera of mobile robot and the moving object, the tracking performance of a moving object can be improved by changing the size of representative blocks according to the object image size. Motion estimation using Edge Detection(ED) and Block-Matching Algorithm(BMA) is often used in the case of moving object tracking by vision sensors. However these methods often miss the real-time vision data since these schemes suffer from the heavy computational load. In this paper, the optimal representative block that can reduce a lot of data to be computed, is defined and optimized by changing the size of representative block according to the size of object in the image frame to improve the tracking performance. The proposed algorithm is verified experimentally by using a two degree-of-freedom active camera mounted on a mobile robot.
