In this paper, we present a method for reconstructing a surface mesh animation sequence from point cloud animation data. We mainly focus on the articulated body of a subject - the motion of which can be roughly described by its internal skeletal structure. The point cloud data is assumed to be captured independently without any inter-frame correspondence information. Using a template model that resembles the given subject, our basic idea for reconstructing the mesh animation is to deform the template model to fit to the point cloud (on a frame-by-frame basis) while maintaining inter-frame coherence. We first estimate the skeletal motion from the point cloud data. After applying the skeletal motion to the template surface, we refine it to fit to the point cloud data. We demonstrate the viability of the method by applying it to reconstruct a fast dancing motion.

This study explores several donor location strategies and discusses experiment results, which contributes to the saving of time and effort required in designing data fusion processes. In particular, three concepts are introduced. The Mahalanobis distance is applied to locate the nearest neighbors more effectively; which incorporates the covariance structure of attributes. The ideal point helps reduce the dimensionality problem that arises in conjoint-type experiments. The correspondence analysis is used to derive the coordinates from non-metric attributes. The Monte Carlo simulation results show that the proposed donor location strategies provide better fusion performance, compared to the currently-in-use methods.

In this paper, we present a methodology of sensing and control for a robot system designed to be capable of grasping an object and moving it to target point Stereo vision system is employed to determine to depth map which represents the distance from the camera. In stereo vision system we have used a center-referenced projection to represent the discrete match space for stereo correspondence. This center-referenced disparity space contains new occlusion points in addition to the match points which we exploit to create a concise representation of correspondence an occlusion. And from the depth map we find the target object´s pose and position in 3-D space. To find the target object´s pose and position, we use the method of the model-based recognition.

This paper proposes a new method to process panoramic image stitching using SURF(Speeded Up Robust Features). Panoramic image stitching is considered a problem of the correspondence matching. In computer vision, it is difficult to find corresponding points in variable environment where a scale, rotation, view point and illumination are changed. However, SURF algorithm have been widely used to solve the problem of the correspondence matching because it is faster than SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform). In this work, we also describe an efficient approach to decreasing computation time through the homography estimation using RANSAC(random sample consensus). RANSAC is a robust estimation procedure that uses a minimal set of randomly sampled correspondences to estimate image transformation parameters. Experimental results show that our method is robust to rotation, zoom, Gaussian noise and illumination change of the input images and computation time is greatly reduced.

In this study, we consider the meaning of one-to-one correspondence through theoretical background under operation of matrix. On algebraic point of view, its significance is 'through one-to-one correspondence from a set with given structure, become a methods in order to induce an algebraic system in to a new set.' That is a key idea making isomorphic structure. Such process experiences necessity of mathematical fact, as well as the deep understanding of one-to-one correspon -dence. Also that becomes a base for develop a various mathematical concepts, such as matrix, exponential laws, symmetric difference, permutation and so on. This study help teachers and students to understand of mathematical concepts meaningfully and to facilitate teacher's professional development.

This study proposes a method of feature point extraction using scale-space filtering and a feature point tracking algorithm based on a texturedness similarity comparison, With well-defined operators one can select a scale parameter for feature point extraction; this affects the selection and localization of the feature points and also the performance of the tracking algorithm. This study suggests a feature extraction method using scale-space filtering, With a change in the camera's point of view or movement of an object in sequential images, the window of a feature point will have an affine transform. Traditionally, it is difficult to measure the similarity between correspondence points, and tracking errors often occur. This study also suggests a tracking algorithm that expands Shi-Tomasi-Kanade's tracking algorithm with texturedness similarity.

Transient stabilization with voltage regulation is investigated for a synchronous generator when the mechanical power is perturbed to any unknown value within its physical bounds so that the operating point of the system shifts to an unknown point. An adaptive excitation controller is designed based on the backstepping method with tuning functions. It will be shown that the adaptive control law proposed can achieve the convergence of the system states to the new equilibrium point in correspondence with the real value of the unknown mechanical power and the regulation of the terminal voltage to the required value. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller for the transient stabilization and voltage regulation.

Not all line or point features capable of being extracted by sonar sensors from cluttered home environments are useful for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) due to their ambiguity because it is difficult to determine the correspondence of line or point features with previously registered feature. Confused line and point features in cluttered environments leads to poor SLAM performance. We introduce a sonar feature structure suitable for a cluttered environment and the extended Kalman filter (EKF)-based SLAM scheme. The reliable line feature is expressed by its end points and engaged togather in EKF SLAM to overcome the geometric limits and maintain the map consistency. Experimental results demonstrate the validity and robustness of the proposed method.

Hausdorff distance(HD) commonly used measures for object matching, and calculates the distance between two point set of pixels in two-dimentional binary images without establishing correspondence. And it is realized as the image filter applying the fuzzy. In this paper, the fuzzy hardware realizes in order to construct the image filter applying HD, also, propose as the method for the noise removal using it in the image. MIN-MAX circuit designs the circuit using MAX-PLUS, and the fuzzy HD hardware results are obtained to the simulation. And then, the previous computer simulation is confirmed to the result by using MATLAB.

Direct and inverse mathematical operators of stereo transformation (stereo operators) are studied in this paper. The stereo operators install a one-to-one correspondence between three dimensional coordinates of any point in space and the stereo coordinates which can be displayed on the screen under the given conditions, i.e. stereo vision base and the position of viewer. The stereo operators can be applied to the analyses of stereoscopic image distortions when the stereo vision base and the position of viewer are changed.
