This paper presents a real-time Hausdorff matching algorithm for tracking of moving object acquired from an active camera. The proposed method uses the edge image of object as its model and uses Hausdorff distance as the cost function to identify hypothesis with the model. To enable real-time processing, a high speed approach to calculate Hausdorff distance and half cross matching method to improve performance of existing search methods are also presented. the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can accurately track moving object in real-time.

As factory automation is getting popular, there has been a lot of research concerned with stereo vision systems as a part of an automation system with unmanned moving equipment. In the stereo vision system, information about an object could be gained by searching through images. Edges which are based on the information about an object are used to find the position of the object and send a message of its position coordinate to a unmanned crain. This thesis proposes an algorithm to find the center point of the object's surface which is connected to the unmanned crain's hookblock, and to recognize the shape of the object by using two CCD cameras. At first, getting information about the edges, and distinguishing each edge's characteristics depend on user's option, and then find the location information by a set of positions that are proposed. This thesis is expected to be devoted to the development of an automation system of unmanned moving equipment.

This work describes a real-time method, based on motion energy detection, for detecting and tracking moving object in the consecutive image sequences. The motion of moving objects is detected by taking the difference of the two consecutive image frames. In addition an edge information of the current image is utilized in order to further increase the accuracy of detection. We can track the moving objects continuously by detecting the motion of objects from the sequence of image frames. A prototype system has been implemented using a TI TMS320C6201 EVM fixed-point DSP board, which can successfully track a moving human in real-time.

Moving object boundary is very important for moving object segmentation. But the moving object boundary shows broken boundary We invent a novel space-oriented boundary linking algorithm to link the broken boundary The boundary linking algorithm forms a quadrant around the terminating pixel in the broken boundary and searches forward other terminating pixel to link within a radius. The boundary linking algorithm guarantees shortest distance linking. We also register the background from image sequence. We construct two object masks, one from the result of boundary linking and the other from the registered background, and use these two complementary object masks together for moving object segmentation. We also suppress the moving cast shadow using Roberts gradient operator. The major advantages of the proposed algorithms are more accurate moving object segmentation and the segmentation of the object which has holes in its region using these two object masks. We experiment the algorithms using the standard MPEG-4 test sequences and real video sequence. The proposed algorithms are very efficient and can process QCIF image more than 48 fps and CIF image more than 19 fps using a 2.0GHz Pentium-4 computer.

Similarity search in moving object trajectories is an active area of research. In this paper, we introduce a new concept of measure that computes spatial distance (similarity) between two trajectories of moving objects on road networks. In addition, we propose an algorithm that generates a sequence of matching edge pairs for two trajectories that ate to be compared and computes spatial distance between them which is non Euclidian in nature. With an example, we explain how our algorithm works to show spatial similarity between trajectories of moving objects in spatial network.

비디오 객체 분할은 MPEG-4와 같은 객체 기반 코딩 단계를 위한 중요한 구성 요소이다. 새로운 MPEG-4 비디오 표준은 움직임 객체의 모양 정보를 고려하여 높은 효율의 부호화 뿐만 아니라 움직임 객체에 대한 내용기반 기능의 부호화를 수행한다. 본 논문은 비디오 시퀀스에서 움직임 객체 분할을 위한 새로운 알고리즘과 VOP(Video Object Plane) 추출 방법을 소개한다. 본 알고리즘은 첫 번째 프레임을 기준영상으로 설정한 후 두 개의 연속된 프레임 사이의 차이 값으로부터 시작된다. 즉 차이영상을 추출한 후 차이영상에 Canny 에지를 적용하고 다음 프레임의 영상에 Canny 에지와 morphologic일 연산을 적용하여 정확한 움직임 객체 에지(Moving Object Edge)를 생성한다. 이후 생성된 에지를 이용하여 VOP를 추출한다. VOP 추출 단계에서 더욱 정확한 움직임 객체 에지를 얻기 위하여 morphological 연산을 수행하였다.

This paper is a prior study to improve the efficiency of offloading based on mobile agents to optimize allocation of computing resources and reduce latency that support user proximity of application services in a Fog/Edge Computing (FEC) environment. We propose an algorithm that effectively reduces the execution time and the amount of memory required when extracting optimal moving patterns from the vast set of spatio-temporal movement history data of moving objects. The proposed algorithm can be useful for the distribution and deployment of computing resources for computation offloading in future FEC environments through frequency-based optimal path extraction.

In this paper, we propose a method that is tracking an object in real time using particle filter and the observation model with edge. First of all, the proposed method defines the object to be tracked in the initial frame. Then, it generates the edge observation model for the object to be tracked and a set of particles. It calculates the weight by comparing the average of the middle distance in eight-way of particle filter edge model with that in edge observation model, and then updates the weight with the calculated value. After resampling particles using the updated weights, it estimates the current location of the tracked object. Finally, this paper demonstrates the performance of the stable tracking through comparison with the existing method by using a number of experimental data.

In this paper, we propose a method of restoring blurred images by an edge-sensitive adaptive filter. The direction of the edge is estimated using the properties of 2-D block FFT. Reduction of blurring due to the added noise during image transfer and the focus of lens caused by shooting a fast moving object is very important. To remove this phenomenon effectively, we can use the edge information obtained by processing the blurred images. The proposed algorithm estimates both the existence and the direction of the edge. On the basis of the acquired edge direction information, we choose the appropriate edge-sensitive adaptive filter, which enables us to get better images than images obtained by methods not considering the direction of the edge. The performance of the proposed algorithm is shown in the simulation result.
