Active safety vehicle devices are getting more attention recently. To prevent traffic accidents, the environment in front and even around the vehicle must be checked and monitored. In the present applications, mainly camera and radar based systems are used as sensing devices. Laser scanner, one of the sensing devices, has the advantage of obtaining accurate measurement of the distance and the geometric information about the objects in the field of view of the laser scanner. However, there is a problem that detecting object occluded by a foreground one is difficult. In this paper, criterions are proposed to manage this problem. Simulation is conducted by vehicle mounted the laser scanner and multiple-hypothesis algorithm tracks the candidate objects. We compare the running times as multi-hypothesis algorithm parameter varies.

This paper proposes a new method using multi-layer overlapped windows to improve the performance of YOLO network which is vulnerable to detect small dense objects. In particular, the proposed method uses the YOLO Network based on the multi-layer overlapped windows to track small dense vehicles that approach from long distances. The method improves the detection performance for location and size of small vehicles. It allows crossing area of two multi-layer overlapped windows to track moving vehicles from a long distance to a short distance. And the YOLO network is optimized so that GPU computation time due to multi-layer overlapped windows should be reduced. The superiority of the proposed algorithm has been proved through various experiments using captured images from road surveillance cameras.

본 논문에서는 다중객체 검출과 동시에 추적을 수행하는 이중계층구조의 파티클 샘플링을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 다중 객체 검출을 위한 상위 계층 파티클 샘플링과 검출된 객체의 추적을 위한 하위 계층 파티클 샘플링으로 구성된다. 상위 계층에서는 빠른 객체 검출을 위해 슬라이딩 윈도우 대신 움직임 추정 기반의 부모 파티클 (parent particles; PP) 윈도우를 사용하여, 이동 객체 주위로 리샘플링된 파티클을 통해 객체를 검출한다. 하위 계층에서는 상위 계층에서 검출한 객체의 객체영역에 자식 파티클 (child particles; CP)을 생성하여 해당 객체를 추적한다. 실험결과를 통해 비디오 시스템에서 기존 객체 검출 방법보다 빠른 검출이 가능하고, 다중 객체를 효과적으로 추적할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

최근 지능형 관제 시스템은 다양한 응용 분야에서 빠르게 발전하고 있으며, 딥러닝, IoT, 클라우드 컴퓨팅 등의 기술이 지능형 관제 시스템에 활용하는 방안이 연구되고 있다. 지능형 관제 시스템에서 중요한 기술은 영상에서 객체를 인식하고 추적하는 것이다. 그러나 기존의 다중 객체 추적 기술은 정확도 및 속도에서 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 객체 추적의 정확성을 높이고, 객체가 서로 겹쳐있거나 동일한 클래스에 속하는 객체들이 많을 경우에도 빠르고 정확하게 추적 가능한 원샷 아키텍처 기반의 YOLO v5와 YOLO v6을 사용하여 실시간 지능형 관제시스템을 구현하였다. 실험은 YOLO v5와 YOLO v6를 비교하여 평가하였다. 실험결과 YOLO v6 모델이 지능형 관제시스템에 적합한 성능을 보여주고 있다. 실험결과 YOLO v6 모델이 지능형 관제시스템에 적합한 성능을 보여주고 있다.

This research is a case study of underwater object tracking based on real-time recurrent regression networks (Re³). Re³ has the concept of generic object tracking. Because of these characteristics, it is very effective to apply this model to unclear underwater sonar images. The model also an pursues object tracking method, thus it solves the problem of calculating load that may be limited when object detection models are used, unlike the tracking models. The model is also highly intuitive, so it has excellent continuity of tracking even if the object being tracked temporarily becomes partially occluded or faded. There are 4 types of the dataset using multi-beam sonar images: including (a) dummy object floated at the testbed; (b) dummy object settled at the bottom of the sea; (c) tire object settled at the bottom of the testbed; (d) multi-objects settled at the bottom of the testbed. For this study, the experiments were conducted to obtain underwater sonar images from the sea and underwater testbed, and the validity of using noisy underwater sonar images was tested to be able to track objects robustly.

본 논문에서는 무인항공기의 근거리 비행체 탐지 및 추적을 위한 영상처리 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리듬은 연속되는 영상에서 계산되는 호모그래피를 사용하여 움직이는 객체를 검출하고 확률적 다수-가설 추적기법으로 검출된 객체가 접근하는 비행체인지의 여부를 판단한다. 이는 항공기의 저고도 비행 시 영상에 보여지는 지표면과 같이 복잡한 배경 위에서 이동하는 비행체를 검출할 수 있고, 비행체의 동역학적 특성을 고려할 수 있기 때문에 색상기반의 비행체 탐지기법보다 향상된 성능을 보여준다. 또한 외부영향에 대한 임계치의 민감도를 현저히 감소시키므로 소형 무인항공기의 저고도 비행실험수행 시 효과적이다. 제안된 영상처리 알고리듬을 실제 비행실험 영상에 적용하여 성능을 검증하였다.

In this paper, we propose a simple and effective vision-based tracking controller design for autonomous object tracking using multicopter. The multicopter based automatic tracking system usually unstable when the object moved so the tracking process can't define the object position location exactly that means when the object moves, the system can't track object suddenly along to the direction of objects movement. The system will always looking for the object from the first point or its home position. In this paper, PID control used to improve the stability of tracking system, so that the result object tracking became more stable than before, it can be seen from error of tracking. A computer vision and control strategy is applied to detect a diverse set of moving objects on Raspberry Pi based platform and Software defined PID controller design to control Yaw, Throttle, Pitch of the multicopter in real time. Finally based series of experiment results and concluded that the PID control make the tracking system become more stable in real time.

The performance of a tracking system is greatly increased if multiple types of sensors are combined to achieve the objective of the tracking instead of relying on single type of sensor. To conduct the multi-modal tracking, we have previously developed a multi-modal sensor-based tracking model where acoustic sensors mainly track the objects and visual sensors compensate the tracking errors [1]. In this paper, we find a network synchronization problem appearing in the developed tracking system. The problem is caused by the different location and traffic characteristics of multi-modal sensors and non-synchronized arrival of the captured sensor data at a processing server. To effectively deliver the sensor data, we propose a time-based packet aggregation algorithm where the acoustic sensor data are aggregated based on the sampling time and sent to the server. The delivered acoustic sensor data is then compensated by visual images to correct the tracking errors and such a compensation process improves the tracking accuracy in ideal case. However, in real situations, the tracking improvement from visual compensation can be severely degraded due to the aforementioned network synchronization problem, the impact of which is analyzed by simulations in this paper. To resolve the network synchronization problem, we differentiate the service level of sensor traffic based on Weight Round Robin (WRR) scheduling at the routers. The weighting factor allocated to each queue is calculated by a proposed Delay-based Weight Allocation (DWA) algorithm. From the simulations, we show the traffic differentiation model can mitigate the non-synchronization of sensor data. Finally, we analyze expected traffic behaviors of the tracking system in terms of acoustic sampling interval and visual image size.

The camera has limitations of poor visibility in underwater environment due to the limited light source and medium noise of the environment. However, its usefulness in close range has been proved in many studies, especially for navigation. Thus, in this paper, vision-based object detection and tracking techniques using artificial objects for underwater robots have been studied. We employed template matching and mean shift algorithms for the object detection and tracking methods. Also, we propose the weighted correlation coefficient of adaptive threshold -based and color-region-aided approaches to enhance the object detection performance in various illumination conditions. The color information is incorporated into the template matched area and the features of the template are used to robustly calculate correlation coefficients. And the objects are recognized using multi-template matching approach. Finally, the water basin experiments have been conducted to demonstrate the performance of the proposed techniques using an underwater robot platform yShark made by KORDI.
