In this study, we constructed a preview-sensing visual sensor system for weld seam tracking in GMA welding. The visual sensor consists of a CCD camera, a diode laser system with a cylindrical lens and a band-pass-filter to overcome the degrading of image due to spatters and/or arc light. To obtain weld joint position and edge points accurately from the captured image, we compared Hough transform method with central difference method. As a result, we present Hough transform method can more accurately extract the points and it can be applied to real time weld seam tracking. Image processing is carried out to extract straight lines that express laser stripe. After extracting the lines, weld joint position and edge points is determined by intersecting points of the lines. Although a spatter trace is in the image, it is possible to recognize the position of weld joint. Weld seam tracking was precisely implemented with adopting Hough transform method, and it is possible to track the weld seam in the case of offset angle is in the region of $\pm15^{\circ}$.

In this study, a preview-sensing visual sensor system is constructed far weld seam tracking in GMA welding. The visual sensor system consists of a CCD camera, a diode laser system with a cylindrical lens, and a band-pass-filter to overcome the degrading of image due to spatters and/or arc light. Among the image processing methods, Hough transform method is compared with the central difference method from a viewpoint of the capability for extracting the accurate feature position. As a result, it was revealed that Hough transform method can more accurately extract the feature positions and it can be applied to real time weld seam tracking. Image processing which includes Hough transform method is carried out to extract straight lines that express laser stripe. After extracting the lines, weld joint position and edge points are determined by intersecting the lines. Even though the image includes a spatter trace on it, it is possible to recognize the position of weld joint. Weld seam tracking was precisely implemented with adopting Hough transform method, and it is possible to track the weld seam in the case of offset angle is in the region of $\pm$ $15^{\circ}$.

The tracking accuracy of buoy-based LBL(Long Base Line) systems can be significantly influenced by sea environmental conditions. Particularly, the position of buoys that may have drifted due to sea currents. Therefore it is necessary to predict and optimize the drifted-buoy positions in the deploying step. This research introduces a free-drift simulation model using ocean data from the European CMEMS. The simulation model's predictions are validated by comparing them to actual sea buoy drift tracks, showing a substantial match in averaged drift speed and direction. Using this drift model, we optimize the initial buoy layout and compare the tracking performance between the center hexagonal layout and close track layout. Our results verify that the optimized layout achieves lower tracking errors compared to the other two layout.

To implement full automation in pipe welding, it si most important to develop special sensors and their related systems which act like human operator when detecting irregular groove conditions. In this study, an automatic pipe Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) system was proposed to full control pipe welding procedure with intelligent sensor systems. A five-axes manipulator was proposed for welding torch to automatically access to exact welding position when pipe size and welding angle were given. Pool status and torch position were measured by using a weld-pool image monitoring and processing technique in root-pass welding for weld seam tracking and weld pool control. To overcome the intensive arc light, pool image was captured at the instance of short circuit of welding power loop. Captured image was processed to determine weld pool shape. For weld seam tracking, the relative distance of a torch position from the pool center was calculated in the extracted pool shape to move torch just onto the groove center. To control penetration of root pas, gap was calculated in the extracted pool image, and then weld conditions were controlled for obtaining appropriate penetration. welding speed was determined with a fuzzy logic, and welding current and voltage were determined from a data base to correspond to the gap. For automatic fill-pass welding, the function of human operator of real time weld seam control can be substituted by a sensor system. In this study, an arc sensor system was proposed based on a fuzzy control logic. Using the proposed automatic system, root-pass welding of pipe which had gap variation was assured to be appropriately controlled in welding conditions and in torch position by showing sound welding result and good seam tracking capability. Fill-pass welding by the proposed system also showed very successful result by tracking along the offset welding line without any control of human operator.

The size of a display is large, The form becoming various of that do not apply to previous methods of gaze tracking and if setup gaze-track-camera above display, can solve the problem of size or height of display. However, This method can not use of infrared illumination information of reflected cornea using previous methods. In this paper, Robust pupil detecting method for eye's occlusion, corner point of inner eye and center of pupil, and using the face pose information proposes a method for calculating the simply position of the gaze. In the proposed method, capture the frame for gaze tracking that according to position of person transform camera mode of wide or narrow angle. If detect the face exist in field of view(FOV) in wide mode of camera, transform narrow mode of camera calculating position of face. The frame captured in narrow mode of camera include gaze direction information of person in long distance. The method for calculating the gaze direction consist of face pose estimation and gaze direction calculating step. Face pose estimation is estimated by mapping between feature point of detected face and 3D model. To calculate gaze direction the first, perform ellipse detect using splitting from iris edge information of pupil and if occlusion of pupil, estimate position of pupil with deformable template. Then using center of pupil and corner point of inner eye, face pose information calculate gaze position at display. In the experiment, proposed gaze tracking algorithm in this paper solve the constraints that form of a display, to calculate effectively gaze direction of person in the long distance using single camera, demonstrate in experiments by distance.

한글 본 논문에서는 개방된 광역을 대상으로 하는 옥외 증강현실을 위한 관측점 트래킹 시스템을 구현하였다. 옥외용 증강현실 시스템은 관측점이 이동하면 주위환경이 변하기 때문에 이동체의 위치와 관측시점의 위치를 트래킹 해야만 실제영상과 가상영상의 정확한 정합이 가능하다. 따라서 옥외용 증강현실의 전역 트래킹은 이동체의 위치와 방향을 추적하는 시스템이므로 GPS를 응용하여 구현하였다. 지역 트래킹 시스템은 이동할 때 현재 위치에서 이동체 내부의 사용자가 바라보는 시점의 변화를 추적하기 위한 장치이므로 제한된 영역에서 시점 트래킹이 가능한 광학식 위치 추적 시스템을 사용하여 구현하였다. 따라서 본 논문은 실제 영상과 실시간으로 트래킹된 가상정보를 정합함으로서 제한적이지만 옥외용 증강현실 시스템의 응용분야에 적용 가능성을 보였다.

객체의 추출 및 추적은 동영상을 처리하는 영상처리 및 컴퓨터비전 분야에서 매우 기본적이고 중요한 단계로 여러 가지 알고리즘이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 두 대의 CCD 카메라를 이용하여 영상을 획득하면서 이동하는 객체를 추적하고 좌표를 계산하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 특히 개발한 알고리즘의 적용 및 실용화를 위해 축구장에 대한 1/100크기의 축소모형을 제작하여 실험하였다. CCD 카메라를 통해 얻어지는 영상에서 이동 객체 (축구공)의 RGB값을 이용해 후보를 선정하고 후보 중 객체의 크기값(MBR size)을 이용해 객체를 추출한다. 이렇게 추출된 이동객체의 영상좌표를 획득하고 이동객체의 현재 위치를 중심으로 예상 움직임 범위를 결정하여 그 범위 내에서만 검색을 실시해 이동객체의 실시간 위치를 추적하게 된다. 한편 두 대의 CCD 카메라에 대한 상호표정 및 절대표정을 수행하고, 공간전방교선법을 이용함으로써 이동객체의 3차원 좌표를 획득할 수 있다.

지금까지 근거리 다중 표적에 대한 위치 추적은 2차원 MUSIC (MUltiple Signal Classification) 기법 등으로 표적 의 위치를 추정하여 JPDA (Joint Probabilistic Data Association) 필터 등의 순차적 상태 추정 알고리즘을 적용해 왔다. 그러나 이러한 방법은 데이터 연관 과정을 해결해야할 뿐 아니라 샘플 기간마다 표적의 위치를 추정하기 위해 많은 격자를 탐색해야 하므로 연산량 부하가 가중된다 또한 다수의 표적이 근접하여 위치할 경우 각 표적에 대한 위치 추정 오차가 크게 되어 위치 추적 성능이 저하되는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 근거 리 음장 (near field)에서의 선배열 센서 출력 신호 공분산 행렬로부터 위치 변위를 추정하여 근거리 다중 표적에 대한 위치 추적이 가능한 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 근접 및 교차 표적에 대한 모의실험을 수행하여 그 성능의 우수함을 확인하였다.

Tracking control schemes on the precise mechanical system in presence of nonlinear dynamic friction is proposed. A nonlinear dynamic friction is regarded as the bristle friction model to compensate fer effects of friction. The conventional SMC method often shows poor tracking performance in high-precision position tracking application since it cannot completely compensate for the friction effect below a certain precision level. Thus to improve the precise position tracking performance, we propose the SMC method combined with the disturbance observer having tunable transient performance. Then this control scheme has the high precise tracking peformance as well as a good transient response when it is compared with the conventional SMC method and the similar types of observers, The experiment on the XY ball-screw drive system with the nonlinear dynamic friction confirms the feasibility of the proposed control scheme.
