The Mission Control System for KOMPSAT-2 was developed by ETRI and is being operated at Satellite Control Center at KARI to monitor and control KOMPSAT-2 (KOrea Multi-Purpose Satellite) which was launched in July 28th, 2006. MCE provides the functions such as telemetry reception and processing, telecommand generation and transmission, satellite tracking and ranging, orbit prediction and determination, attitude maneuver planning, satellite simulation, etc. KOMPSAT-2 is the successor of KOMPSAT-1 which is an earth-observation satellite. KOMPSAT-2 has higher resolution image taking ability due to MSC (Multi Spectral Camera) payload in the satellite and precise orbit and attitude determination by Mission Control System. It can produce one meter resolution image compared to six meter resolution image by KOMPSAT-1.

Automatic image recognition system is essential for a better man-to machine interaction. Because of the noise and deformation due to the sensor operation, it is not simple to build an image recognition system even for the fixed images. In this paper neural network which has been reported to be adequate for pattern recognition task is applied to the fixed and variational(rotation, size, position variation for the fixed image)recognition with a hope that the problems of conventional pattern recognition techniques are overcome. At fixed image recognition system. ART model is trained with face images obtained by camera. When recognizing an matching score. In the test when wigilance level 0.6 - 0.8 the system has achievel 100% correct face recognition rate. In the variational image recognition system, 65 invariant moment features sets are taken from thirteen persons. 39 data are taken to train multi-layer perceptron and other 26 data used for testing. The result shows 92.5% recognition rate.

DVR(Digital Video Recorder), a recently popular visual monitoring system, is required to support multi camera channel display(upto 16 channels) with various display modes in real-time. For such a multichannel display system, it is well known that tearing artifacts become more serious. Thus, one needs to design a display system for DVR so that it does not show tearing artifacts as much as possible, but keeps real-time display speed. In this paper, we present our efforts in designing and implementing a display system which rarely ever shows tearing artifacts, but without degradation of required real-time display speed, and which displays character information stably without blinking.

This paper describes the development of low cost, miniaturized multi-function image splitter for an unmanned guard system. The essential equipments of an image splitter system consist of a video system which displays in one screen images inputted by several cameras, a frame switcher which records each image sequentially in VTR, and TBC(Time Base Control) system which prevents image flickering during image switching. Currently, the price of similar system on the market is high, system management and repair are difficult, and bulky space is required. Futhermore, since currently available frame switcher can record only 30frame/sec, if eight cameras are installed, each camera image is recorded at the low speed of 3.75frame/sec, and consequently skip some images which may be vital for legal evidence. In this research, we have solved the problem of low speed recording by recording the video screen of splitted images at 30frame/sec and zooming each image when play back.

In this paper, we introduce the multi-target-based auto surveillance algorithm. Multi-target-based surveillance system detects intrusion objects in the specified areas. The proposed algorithm can divide into two parts: i) background generation, ii) object extraction. In this paper, one of the optical flow equation methods for estimation of gradient method used to generate the background [2]. In addition, the objects and back- ground video images that are continually entering the differential extraction.

The paper deals with the development of the multi-layer plant production systems using a sunlight and LED. Nowadays most of plant production systems have been developed by plant factory using only LED. In case of plant factory using LED, however, the light quantity is not sufficient for various kinds of medicinal plants. In this paper, authors have tried to apply the both the luminous sources using a natural sunlight and an appropriate LED. During the daytime, a natural sunlight was applied using the Heliostat, while in the nighttime, LED was used. The proposed mixed plant production system was constructed under the various environmental conditions such as $CO_2$ distribution, temperature and humidity. Through the hybrid plant prodution systems, the growth of Ginseng plants were recorded and demonstrated by CCD camera and monitoring program.

We present a software which we developed for the multi-purpose CCD camera. This software can be used on the all 3 types of CCD - KAF-0401E ($768{\times}512$), KAF-1602E ($1536{\times}1024$), KAF-3200E ($2184{\times}1472$) made in KODAK Co.. For the efficient CCD camera control, the software is operated with two independent processes of the CCD control program and the temperature/shutter operation program. This software is designed to fully automatic operation as well as manually operation under LINUX system, and is controled by LINUX user signal procedure. We plan to use this software for all sky survey system and also night sky monitoring and sky observation. As our results, the read-out time of each CCD are about 15sec, 64sec, 134sec for KAF-0401E, KAF-1602E, KAF-3200E., because these time are limited by the data transmission speed of parallel port. For larger format CCD, the data transmission is required more high speed. we are considering this control software to one using USB port for high speed data transmission.

Recently, in the elevator of the buildings, such as apartment and office building, the visitor monitoring cameras for surveillance, advertising LCD to provide a variety of information, emergency call devices, and safe driving information sensors are installed. A variety of multimedia data from these devices to the central control office, management office, or to guard room are transmitted in real-time. Each sub-systems in the elevator are installed with a separate lines and operated independently and use different management principals, so integrated management for each sub-systems are very difficult. In this study, we develop a new IP-based multi-channel video surveillance system which is integrated surveillance camera, emergency call devices, communications devices, various sensors in the elevator, DVR, ODM, and can manage all devices by two-way communication and integrated interface. And we evaluated the performance of the developed system.

In this paper, we proposed a face tracking algorithm for a viewpoint adaptive multi-view synthesis system. The original scene captured by a depth camera contains a texture image and 8 bit gray-scale depth map. From this original image, multi-view images can be synthesized which correspond to viewer's position by using geometrical transformation such as a rotation and a translation. The proposed face tracking technique gives a motion parallax cue by different viewpoints and view angles. In the proposed algorithm, tracking of viewer's dominant face initially established from camera by using statistical characteristics of face colors and deformable templates is done. As a result, we can provide motion parallax cue by detecting viewer's dominant face area and tracking it even under a heterogeneous background and can successfully display the synthesized sequences.
