Indoor localization is one of the basic elements of Location-Based Service, such as indoor navigation, location-based precision marketing, spatial recognition of robotics, augmented reality, and mixed reality. We propose a Voxel Labeling-based visual positioning system using object simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Our method is a method of determining a location through single image 3D cuboid object detection and object SLAM for indoor navigation, then mapping to create an indoor map, addressing it with voxels, and matching with a defined space. First, high-quality cuboids are created from sampling 2D bounding boxes and vanishing points for single image object detection. And after jointly optimizing the poses of cameras, objects, and points, it is a Visual Positioning System (VPS) through matching with the pose information of the object in the voxel database. Our method provided the spatial information needed to the user with improved location accuracy and direction estimation.

In this paper, we propose an efficient multi-object recognition and tracking scheme based on interest points of objects and their feature descriptors. To do that, we first define a set of object types of interest and collect their sample images. For sample images, we detect interest points and construct their feature descriptors using SURF. Next, we perform a statistical analysis of the local features to select representative points among them. Intuitively, the representative points of an object are the interest points that best characterize the object. in addition, we make the movement vectors of the interest points based on matching between their SURF descriptors and track the object using these vectors. Since our scheme treats all the objects independently, it can recognize and track multiple objects simultaneously. Through the experiments, we show that our proposed scheme can achieve reasonable performance.

Tracking is a fundamental technique which is able to be applied to gesture recognition, visual surveillance, tangible agent and so forth. Especially, multiple object tracking has been extensively studied in recent years in order to perform many and more complicated tasks. In this paper, we propose a new approach of multiple object tracking which is based on discrete event. We call this system the DEMOT (Discrete Event based Multiple Object Tracking). This approach is based on the fact that a multiple object tracking can have just four situations - initiation, continuation, termination, and overlapping. Here, initiation, continuation, termination, and overlapping constitute a primary event set and this is based on the change of the number of extracted objects between a previous frame and a current frame. This system reduces computational costs and holds down the identity of all targets. We make experiments for this system with respect to the number of targets, each event, and processing period. We describe experimental results that show the successful multiple object tracking by using our approach.

Construction site management involves overseeing tasks from the construction phase to the maintenance stage, and digitalization of construction sites is necessary for digital construction site management. In this study, we aim to conduct research on object recognition at construction sites using drones. Images of construction sites captured by drones are reconstructed into BIM (Building Information Modeling) models, and objects are recognized after partially rendering the models using artificial intelligence. For the photorealistic rendering of the BIM models, both traditional filtering techniques and the generative adversarial network (GAN) model were used, while the YOLO (You Only Look Once) model was employed for object recognition. This study is expected to provide insights into the research direction of digital construction site management and help assess the potential and future value of introducing artificial intelligence in the construction industry.

Traffic sign recognition is an essential feature of intelligent transportation systems and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which are necessary for improving road safety and advancing the development of autonomous cars. This research investigates the incorporation of the YOLOv9 model into traffic sign recognition systems, utilizing its sophisticated functionalities such as Programmable Gradient Information (PGI) and Generalized Efficient Layer Aggregation Network (GELAN) to tackle enduring difficulties in object detection. We employed a publically accessible dataset obtained from Roboflow, which consisted of 3130 images classified into five distinct categories: speed_40, speed_60, stop, green, and red. The dataset was separated into training (68%), validation (21%), and testing (12%) subsets in a methodical manner to ensure a thorough examination. Our comprehensive trials have shown that YOLOv9 obtains a mean Average Precision (mAP@0.5) of 0.959, suggesting exceptional precision and recall for the majority of traffic sign classes. However, there is still potential for improvement specifically in the red traffic sign class. An analysis was conducted on the distribution of instances among different traffic sign categories and the differences in size within the dataset. This analysis aimed to guarantee that the model would perform well in real-world circumstances. The findings validate that YOLOv9 substantially improves the precision and dependability of traffic sign identification, establishing it as a dependable option for implementation in intelligent transportation systems and ADAS. The incorporation of YOLOv9 in real-world traffic sign recognition and classification tasks demonstrates its promise in making roadways safer and more efficient.

This study proposes a method for creating learning datasets to recognize obstacles using deep learning algorithms in automated construction machinery or an autonomous vehicle. Recently, many researchers and engineers have developed various recognition algorithms based on deep learning following an increase in computing power. In particular, the image classification technology and image segmentation technology represent deep learning recognition algorithms. They are used to identify obstacles that interfere with the driving situation of an autonomous vehicle. Therefore, various organizations and companies have started distributing open datasets, but there is a remote possibility that they will perfectly match the user's desired environment. In this study, we created an interface of the virtual simulator such that users can easily create their desired training dataset. In addition, the customized dataset was further advanced by using the RDBMS system, and the recognition rate was improved.

Augmented Reality (AR) technology has rapidly been applied to various application areas including e-learning and e-education. Focusing on the design and development of android tablet application, this study targeted to develop infant music education using AR technology. We used a tablet instead of personal computer because it is more easily accessible and more convenient. Our system allows infant users to play with teaching aids like blocks or puzzles to mimic musical play like game. The user sets the puzzle piece on the playground in front of the tablet and presses the play button. Then, the system extracts a region of interest among the images acquired by internal camera and separates the foreground image from the background image. The block recognition software analyzes, recognizes and shows the result using AR technology. In order to have reasonably working recognition ratio, we did experiments with more than 5,000 frames of actual playing scenarios. We found that the recognition rate can be secured up to 95%, when the threshold values are selected well using various condition parameters.

This paper proposed a framework of recognition and tracking for underwater objects using sonar images as an alternative of underwater optical camera which has the limitation of usage due to turbidity. In Part 1, a design and recognition method for 2D artificial landmark was proposed considering the practical performance of current imaging sonars. In particular, its materials are selected in order to maximize detectability based on characteristics of imaging sonar and ultrasonic waves. It has a simple and omni-directional shape which allows an easy modeling of object, and it includes region based features as identifications. Also, we proposed a real-time recognition algorithm including edge detector, Hough circle transforms, and shape matrix based recognition algorithm. The proposed methods are verified by basin tests using DIDSON.

Position measurement using a camera has been studied for a long time. This is being studied for distance recognition or object recognition in autonomous vehicles, and it is being studied in the field of indoor navigation, which is a limited space where GPS is difficult to apply. In general, in a method of measuring the distance using a camera, the distance is measured using a distance between the cameras using two stereo cameras and a value measured through a captured image or photo. In this paper, we propose a method of measuring the distance of an object using a single camera. The proposed method measures the distance by using the distance between cameras, such as a stereo camera, and the value measured by the photographed picture through the gap of the photographing time and the distance between photographing.
