This paper presents a panorama background generation and object tracking technique using a Pan-Tilt-Zoom camera. The proposed method estimates local motion vectors rapidly using phase correlation matching at the prespecified multiple local regions, and it makes minimized estimation error by vector quantization. We obtain the required image patches, by estimating the overlapped region using local motion vectors, we can then project the images to cylinder and realign the images to make the panoramic image. The object tracking is performed by extracting object's motion and by separating foreground from input image using background subtraction. The proposed PTZ-based object tracking method can efficiently generated a stable panorama background, which covers up to 360 degree FOV The proposed algorithm is designed for real-time implementation and it can be applied to many commercial applications such as object shape detection and face recognition in various surveillance video systems.

This paper developes the navigation visual aid supporting a watch officer's situation awareness and analyzes its performance test result. Developing the equipment made from composite video sensor which transfer video signal, ranger laser measurement model which search out distance, Pan/ Tilt, center control device. The developed equipment with Pan/Tilt was made from high performance video sensor and ranger laser measurement. To make a real ship test, we carried on setting the developed equipment on ship, observed a danger factor and analyzed a image, and from that we can evaluate marine environment awareness. Through this result, the developed equipment can show effective ability of the awareness of the clearer check and resolution situation when compare with the binocular.

The laser transport system of the high power laser facility is mainly composed of large-aperture laser transport mirrors (TMs). Obtaining the high-resolution online damage images during the operation, which is of great significance for operating safely of the mirrors and the facility. Based on wavefront coding, pan-tilt scanning and image stitching technologies, an online laser-damage images detection system is designed, and it can achieve high-precision detection of surface characteristics of large-aperture laser transport mirrors. The preliminary simulation proves that the system can solve the depth of field matching problem caused by pan-tilt tilt imaging and achieve higher resolution.

In most vision applications, we are frequently confronted with determining the position of object continuously. Generally, intertwined processes ire needed for target tracking, composed with tracking and control process. Each of these processes can be studied independently. In case of actual implementation we must consider the interaction between them to achieve robust performance. In this paper, the robust real time visual tracking in complex background is considered. A common approach to increase robustness of a tracking system is to use known geometric models (CAD model etc.) or to attach the marker. In case an object has arbitrary shape or it is difficult to attach the marker to object, we present a method to track the target easily as we set up the color and shape for a part of object previously. Robust detection can be achieved by integrating voting-based visual cues. Kalman filter is used to estimate the motion of moving object in 3D space, and this algorithm is tested in a pan/tilt robot system. Experimental results show that fusion of cues and motion estimation in a tracking system has a robust performance.

One of the most important factors so that mobile objects can achieve their purpose is the information about their positions. In this paper, we propose an improved beacon system, to which ultrasonic sensors are attached, for the indoor localization of mobile objects. We have researched so that it can cover the wider space and estimate more accurate positions than the existent beacon systems. The existent beacon systems have the constraint that one beacon cannot cover wide area since ultrasonic sensors have limits in the angle of signal (beam-angle) on which their signal strength depends. Hence, we used the active beacon which consists of a pan-tilt mechanism and a beacon module. The active beacon system can always aim at mobile objects in order to transmit the strongest signal of the ultrasonic sensors into the objects using the pan-tilt mechanism. In addition, this system is inexpensive because it can decrease the number of beacons by about a half of the beacons of the existent system. Finally, the results show what is the difference between the active beacon system and existent beacon systems, and how accurate it is.

We have implemented image monitoring system on PXA255 processor based embedded board that is ported QT/Embedded 2.3.7 version. User is able to monitor camera's capture image for widely separated host PC at client PXA255 board target board by ethernet communication method. And we designed PCI interface card that control motor for camera's Pan & Tilt. Bitmap format's images of $320\times{240}$ size are displayed on PXA255 board's TFT-LCD and User is able to monitor wanted position's image by touch screen input method.

In this paper we proposed an object tracking system using PTZ camera. Once the target object is detected, the CAMshift tracking algorithm focuses it in realtime mode as the camera is moving accordingly. Since the CAMShift algorithm takes into account the object size, zoom related tracking is possible. We used the spherical coordinate to gain pan and tilt position. The position information is used to set the center of target object in the middle of the image by using the PTZ protocol and RS-485 interface. Our system showed excellent experimental results in various environments.

In this paper, we propose a real tine moving object tracking system based on block-based image processing technique and human visual processing. The system has two nun features. First, to take advantage of the merit of the biological mechanism of human retina, the system has two cameras, a CCD(Charge-Coupled Device) camera equipped with wide angle lens for more wide scope vision and a Pan-Tilt-Zoon tamers. Second, the system divides the input image into a numbers of blocks and processes coarsely to reduce the rate of tracking error and the processing time. Tn an experiment, the system showed satisfactory performances coping with almost every noisy image, detecting moving objects very int and controlling the Pan-Tilt-Zoom camera precisely.
