Camera calibration is the process of determining the coordinate relationship between a camera image and its real world space. Accurate calibration of a camera is necessary for the applications that involve quantitative measurement of camera images. However, if the camera plane is parallel or near parallel to the calibration board on which 2 dimensional objects are defined(this is called "ill-conditioned"), existing solution procedures are not well applied. In this paper, we propose a neural network-based approach to camera calibration for 2D images formed by a mono-camera or a pair of cameras. Multi-layer perceptrons are developed to transform the coordinates of each image point to the world coordinates. The validity of the approach is tested with data points which cover the whole 2D space concerned. Experimental results for both mono-camera and stereo-camera cases indicate that the proposed approach is comparable to Tsai's method［8］. Especially for the stereo camera case, the approach works better than the Tsai's method as the angle between the camera optical axis and the Z-axis increases. Therefore, we believe the approach could be an alternative solution procedure for the ill -conditioned camera calibration.libration.

In this paper we define a Myller configuration in a Finsler space and use some special configurations to obtain results about Finsler subspaces. Let $F^{n}$ = (M,F) be a Finsler space, with M a real, differentiable manifold of dimension n. Using the pull back bundle $({\pi}^{*}TM,\tilde{\pi},\widetilde{TM})$ of the tangent bundle $(TM,{\pi},M)$ by the mapping $\tilde{\pi}={\pi}/TM$ and the Cartan Finsler connection of a Finsler space, we obtain an orthonormal frame of sections of ${\pi}^{*}TM$ along a regular curve in $\widetilde{TM}$ and a system of invariants, geometrically associated to the Myller configuration. The fundamental equations are written in a very simple form and we prove a fundamental theorem. Important lines in a Finsler subspace are defined like special lines in a Myller configuration, geometrically associated to the subspace: auto parallels, lines of curvature, asymptotes. Torse forming vector fields with respect to the Cartan Finsler connection are characterized by means of the invariants of the Frenet frame of a versor field along a curve, and the new notion of torse forming vector fields in the sense of Myller is introduced. The particular cases of concurrence and parallelism in the sense of Myller are completely studied, for vector fields from the distribution $T^m$ of the Myller configuration and also from the normal distribution $T^p$.

In recent years, there has been increased interest in characterizing and extracting 3D information from 2D images for human tracking and identification. In this paper, we propose a single view-based framework for robust estimation of height and position. In the proposed method, 2D features of target object is back-projected into the 3D scene space where its coordinate system is given by a rectangular marker. Then the position and the height are estimated in the 3D space. In addition, geometric error caused by inaccurate projective mapping is corrected by using geometric constraints provided by the marker. The accuracy and the robustness of our technique are verified on the experimental results of several real video sequences from outdoor environments.

This paper presents an automated computer vision-based system to update BIM data by leveraging multi-modal visual data collected from existing buildings under inspection. Currently, visual inspections are conducted for building envelopes or mechanical systems, and auditors analyze energy-related contextual information to examine if their performance is maintained as expected by the design. By translating 3D surface thermal profiles into energy performance metrics such as actual R-values at point-level and by mapping such properties to the associated BIM elements using XML Document Object Model (DOM), the proposed method shortens the energy performance modeling gap between the architectural information in the as-designed BIM and the as-is building condition, which improve the reliability of building energy analysis. Several case studies were conducted to experimentally evaluate their impact on BIM-based energy analysis to calculate energy load. The experimental results on existing buildings show that (1) the point-level thermography-based thermal resistance measurement can be automatically matched with the associated BIM elements; and (2) their corresponding thermal properties are automatically updated in gbXML schema. This paper provides practitioners with insight to uncover the fundamentals of how multi-modal visual data can be used to improve the accuracy of building energy modeling for retrofit analysis. Open research challenges and lessons learned from real-world case studies are discussed in detail.

With the advance of high performance computing hardware, many applications have been emerging which exploit real-time computer graphics capabilities. This paper is concerned with an effective realization method for reflection effect for the situations in which moving pictures are played in 3D computer graphics modeling world. The method determines in an geometric way the locations of the projection plan into which the playing areas of moving pictures are mapped, and then realizes the reflection effect with texture mapping. Compared with the traditional stencil buffer-based reflection method, the processing time of the proposed method does not significantly deteriorate for the models with moving pictures and reflection surfaces, and its throughput was improved by 30% at minimum and 127% at maximum for the models used in the comparative studies.

본 논문에서는 이차원(2-D) 이산 웨이블릿 면환(Discrete Wavelet Transform, DWT)을 이용한 연상압축기를 FPGA 칩에서 실시간으로 동작 가능하도록 하는 효율적인 메모리 스케줄링 방법(E$^2$M$^2$)을 제안하였다. S/W적으로 위의 메모리 사상 방법을 검증한 후, 실제로 상용화된 SFRAM을 선정하여 메모리 제어기를 구현하였다. 본 논문에서는 Mallet-tree를 이용한 2-D DWT 영상압축 칩을 구현할 경우를 가정하였다. 이 알고리즘은 연산 과정에서 많은 데이터를 정장하여야 하는데, FPGA는 많은 데이터를 저장할 수 있는 메모리가 내장되어 있지 않으므로 외부 메모리를 사용하여야 한다. 외부메모리는 열(row)에 대해서만 연속(burst) 읽기, 쓰기 동작이 가능하기 때문에 Mallet-tree 알고리즘의 데이터 입출력을 그대로 적용할 경우 실시간 동작을 수행하는 DWT 압축 칩을 구현할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 데이터 쓰기를 수행할 경우에는 메모리 셀(cell)의 수직 방향을 저장시키고 읽기를 수행할 때는 수평으로 데이터의 연속 읽기를 수행함으로써 필터가 항상 수평 방향에 위치하게 하는 방법을 제안하였다. 입방법을 C-언어로 DWT 커넬(Kernel)과 메모리의 에뮬레이터(emulator)를 구현하여 실험한 결과, Mallat-tree 이론을 그대로 적용시켰을 때와 동일한 필터링을 수행할 수 있음을 검증하였다. 또한, 상용화된 SDRAM의 메모리 제어기를 H/W로 구현하여 시뮬레이션 함으로써 본 논문에서 제안한 방법이 실제적인 하드웨어로 실시간 동작을 할 수 있음을 보였다.

A LiDAR technique has the merits that survey engineers can get a large number of measurements with high precision quickly. Aerial photos and satellite sensor images are used for generating 3D spatial images which are matched with the map coordinates and elevation data from digital topographic files. Also, those images are used for matching with 3D spatial image contents through perspective view condition composed along to the designated roads until arrival the corresponding location. Recently, 3D aviation image could be generated by various digital data. The advanced geographical methods for guidance of the destination road are experimented under the GIS environments. More information and access designated are guided by the multimedia contents on internet or from the public tour information desk using the simulation images. The height data based on LiDAR is transformed into DEM, and the real time unification of the vector via digital image mapping and raster via extract evaluation are transformed to trace the generated model of 3-dimensional downtown building along to the long distance for 3D tract model generation.

The recent advance of sensor networks and ubiquitous techniques allow collecting and analyzing of the data which overcome the limitation imposed by time and space in real-time for making decisions. Also, analysis and prediction of collected data can support useful and necessary information to users. The collected data in sensor networks environment is the stream data which has continuous, unlimited and sequential properties. Because of the continuous, unlimited and large volume properties of stream data, managing stream data is difficult. And the stream data needs dynamic processing method because of the memory constraint and access limitation. Accordingly, we analyze correlation stream data using principal component analysis. And using result of analysis, it helps users for making decisions.

This paper presents an optimization algorithm for a stable Dynamic Neural Network (DNN) using genetic algorithm. Optimized DNN is applied to a problem of controlling nonlinear dynamical systems. DNN is dynamic mapping and is better suited for dynamical systems than static forward neural network. The real time implementation is very important, and thus the neuro controller also needs to be designed such that it converges with a relatively small number of training cycles. SDNN has considerably fewer weights than DNN. The object of proposed algorithm is to the number of self dynamic neuron node and the gradient of activation functions are simultaneously optimized by genetic algorithms. To guarantee convergence, an analytic method based on the Lyapunov function is used to find a stable learning for the SDNN. The ability and effectiveness of identifying and controlling, a nonlinear dynamic system using the proposed optimized SDNN considering stability' is demonstrated by case studies.

Recently, Productivity of the construction industry has been decreasing than other industries. Because of this, BIM is being spread in the construction industry. However, quality criteria for BIM data is insufficient. Regulation information is an important factor for initial architectural design evaluations. However, building code and related regulation are numerous. National building code structure in Korea is much more complex than other countries. The purpose of this study is to suggest the typology method of building code and apply to real regulations. To achieve this purpose, the authors have extracted required information to from original regulation for code checking and suggested mapping methods between extracted information and information of IFC scheme. In addition, the authors have represented EXPRESS-G diagram for extracting information from IFC scheme and suggested code checking method through stair case. Output of this study can be used as a base line data for automated code checking system based on open BIM. Automated code checking system will be utilized in architectural design evaluations and supported to increase design quality. It can be used to mount in SEUMTER that is the construction administration system of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT).
