This paper describes realtime visual tracking system of moving object for three dimensional target using EKF(Extended Kalman Filter). We present a new realtime visual tracking using EKF algorithm and image prediction algorithm. We demonstrate the performance of these tracking algorithm through real experiment. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the EKF algorithm and image prediction algorithm for realtime tracking and estimated state value of filter, predicting the position of moving object to minimize an image processing area, and by reducing the effect by quantization noise of image.

In this paper, we proposed realtime visual tracking system of moving object for 2D target using extended Kalman Filter Algorithm. A targeting marker are recongnized in each image frame and positions of targer object in each frame from a CCD camera while te targeting marker is attached to the tip of the SCARA robot hand. After the detection of a target coming into any position of the field-of-view, the target is tracked and always made to be located at the center of target window. Then, we can track the moving object which moved in inter-frames. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the Kalman filter algorithm for realtime tracking and estimated state value of filter, predicting the position of moving object to minimize an image processing area, and by reducing the effect by quantization noise of image

In this paper, the multi-channel high speed data acquisition system is implemented. This high speed signal processing system for 3-D image display is applicable to the manipulation of a medical image processing, multimedia data and various fields of digital image processing. In order to convert the analog signal into digital one, A/D conversion circuit is designed. PCI interface method is designed and implemented, which is capable of transmission a large amount of data to computer. In order to, especially, channel extendibility of images acquisition, bus communication method is selected. By using this bus method, we can interface each module effectively. In this paper, 32-channel A/D conversion and PCI interface system for 3-dimensional and real-time display of the retina image is developed. The 32-channel image acquisition system and high speed data transmission system developed in this paper is applicable to not only medical image processing as 3-D representation of retina image but also various fields of industrial image processing in which the multi-point realtime image acquisition system is needed.

Phase control methods are used to expand the sound image in general AV system. However, these methods are effective only to the signal under 1kHz, and the listener must be located in front center of the speaker system. In this paper, we realize the realtime processing system in which phase shifting method is dominant at low frequency and precedence effect is dominant at high frequency. Two sound cards are used to process the audio signal in realtime with 16 bits stereo channel of 44.1 kHz sampling frequency. And the analog circuit is designed to process the phase shifting. In experiments the usefulness of the proposed stereo system is confirmed.

본 논문에서는 모바일 폰 카메라의 프레임 단위 영상 신호 처리 과정에서 필요한 나눗셈 연산을 위한 나눗셈기 설계 방법을 제안한다. 나눗셈기의 내부 데이터 처리 방법에는 직렬 방식과 병렬 방식이 있다. 직렬방식은 실시간 연산이 가능한 반면에 많은 비교기와 Buffer Memory의 사용으로 인해 하드웨어 사이즈가 크다. 병렬방식은 실시간 연산을 할 수 없지만 하나의 비교기를 공유해서 연산함으로 직렬방식에 비해 하드웨어 크기를 줄일 수 있다. 이미지 처리를 위한 프레임 단위 연산은 실시간 연산을 필요로 하지 않으므로 하드웨어 자원으 효율성을 위해 직렬방식 나눗셈기를 적용한다. 입출력 조건을 동일하게 해서 병렬방식과 직렬방식의 나눗셈을 구현하여 하드웨어 크기를 비교 했을 때 동일한 동작 주파수에서 직렬방식의 나눗셈기가 병렬방식의 나눗셈기의 대락 1/8 정도의 하드웨어 크기를 가지는 것을 확인하였다.

카메라를 이용한 실시간 시정측정은 인간의 시정 감각과 유사하고 현실성 있는 시정자료를 획득할 수 있으며 기존 고가의 광학기기를 이용한 측정방법을 대체할 수 있는 새로운 측정방식이다. 영상으로부터 깊이정보나 3차원 구조의 추출 등을 통해 시정을 측정하려는 시도가 있으나, 단순하고 빠른 처리가 요구되는 실시간 시정측정과 이동물체가 많이 나타나는 경우에는 많은 문제점을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 시정의 감소는 영상에서 지수적인 대비의 감소로 나타난다는 점에 착안하여 영상으로부터 이동영역 필터를 이용하여 대비를 추출하고 영상대비와 시정간의 상관관계를 수학적으로 모델링함으로써 쉽고 빠르게 시정을 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 이동영역 필터는 영상으로부터 시정측정에 영향을 주는 하늘과 물체의 이동영역을 효과적으로 제거하기 위해 사용된다. 제안된 방법은 카메라를 통해 입력된 영상으로부터 실시간 시정측정이 가능할 뿐만 아니라 도로와 같이 차량의 이동이 많은 경우에도 안정적인 시정측정이 가능하다.

Recently, many efforts have been made for research and application of object tracking system. However, introduced object tracking algorithms have limitations to adopt a realtime object tracking system with multi camera. In this paper, we present a novel background generation and target object recognition algorithm for realtime object tracking system with multi camera and implemented it.

An efficient modeling and management of a large amount of surface data for a wide rage of geographic information play an important role in determining the functionality of 3D geographic information system. It has been put many efforts to design and manage an effective way to enhence the manipulation of the data by considering geometry type and data structures. Recently, DEM(Data Elevation Model) and TIN(Triangulated Irregular Network) are used for representing surface data. In this paper, we propose a 3D data processing method. The method utilizes the major properties of DEM and TIN, respectively. Furthermore, by approximating DEM with a TIN of an appropriate resolution, we can support a fast and realistic surface modeling. We implement the structure with the following 4 level stages. The first is an optimal resolution of DEM which represent all of wide range of geographic data. The second is the full resolution DEM which is a subarea of original data generated by user's selection in our implemeatation. The third is the TIN approximation of this data with a proper resolution determined by the relative position with the camera. And the last step is multi-resolution TIN data whose resolution is dynamically decided by considering which direction user take notice currently. Specially, the TIN of the last step is designed for realtime camera navigation. By using the structure we implemented realtime surface clipping, efficient approximation of height field and the locally detailed surface LOD(Level of Detail). We used the initial 10-meter sampling DEM data of Seoul, KOREA and implement the structure to the 3D Virtual GIS based on the Internet.

For given 3D geographic data which is usually of DEM(Data Elevation Model) format, we have to represent and manipulate the data in various ways. For example, we have to draw a part of them in drawing canvas. To do this we give users a way of selecting area they want to visualize. And we have to give a base tool for users to select the local area which can be chosen for some geographic operation. In this paper, we propose a 3D data processing method for representation and manipulation. The method utilizes the major properties of DEM and TIN(Triangular Irregular Network), respectively. Furthermore, by approximating DEM with a TIN of an appropriate resolution, we can support a fast and realistic surface modeling. We implement the structure with the following 4 level stages.

This paper investigates the implementation and flight test of realtime vision guided autopilot system based on virtual instrumentation platform. A graphical design process via virtual instrumentation platform is fully used for the image processing, communication between systems, vehicle dynamics control, and vision coupled guidance algorithms. A significatnt ojective of the algorithm is to achieve an environment robust autopilot despite wind and an irregular image acquisition condition. For a robust vision guided path tracking and hovering performance, the flight path guidance logic is combined in a multi conditional basis with the position estimation algorithm coupled with the vehicle attitude dynamics. An onboard flight test equipped with the developed realtime vision guided autopilot system is done using the rotary UAV system with full attitude control capability. Outdoor flight test demonstrated that the designed vision guided autopilot system succeeded in UAV's hovering on top of ground target within about several meters under geenral windy environment.
