This paper proposes a LuGre Model-Based Neural Network (MBNN) friction compensation algorithm for a linear motor stage. For matching the friction phenomena in both the motion-start region and the motion-reverse region, the LuGre dynamic model is employed into the proposed compensation algorithm. After training of the model-based neural network is completed, the estimated friction for compensation is obtained. From the obtained result we find that the new structure gains advantage over the non-friction compensation system on the performance of the compensator in both regions. The proposed compensator is evaluated and compared experimentally with an uncompensated system on a microcomputer controlled linear motor tracking system in the final section of the paper. The experimental results show the improvement on the maximum velocity error and the root mean square tracking error in the motion-start region ranges from 34% to 53% and from 53% to 75% respectively, and in the motion-reverse region from 48% to 65% and from 79% to 90% respectively.

고성능 컴퓨터와 디지털 카메라의 보급으로 컴퓨터를 이용한 객체 탐지 및 추적은 컴퓨터 비전의 다양한 응용분야에서 중요한 문제로 대두 되고 있다. 또한, 지능형 자동화 감시 장치, 영상 분석 장치, 자동화된 로봇 분야 등에서 그 필요성이 점점 부각 되고 있다. 객체 추적은 카메라를 이용하여 움직이는 객체의 위치를 찾는 처리 과정을 의미 하며, 강건한 객체 추적을 위해서는 객체의 스케일, 형태 변화, 회전에 강건하고 정확한 객체의 위치를 파악할 수 있어야한다. 본 논문에서는 랜덤 포레스트를 이용한 강건한 객체 추적에 대한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 정확한 객체의 위치를 찾기 위해 지역 공분산과 ZNCC (Zeros Mean Normalized Cross Correlation)를 사용하여 객체를 검출하고 검출된 객체를 5개의 부분으로 나누어 랜덤 포레스트로 객체가 잘 검출 되었는지 검증 한다. 검증된 객체 중 모델을 선택하여 객체 검출이 잘못 되었다고 판단된 경우 입력 모델을 변경하여 정확한 객체를 찾도록 하였다. 제안된 알고리즘과 기존의 알고리즘들을 비교 하였을 때 비교적 정확한 객체의 위치를 잘 찾아 가는 것을 확인하였다.

동영상에서 객체 추적은 몇 년간 컴퓨터 비전 및 여러 실용적 응용 분야에서 관심을 가지는 주제 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 보안 및 감시 시스템 분야에 적용할 수 있는 실시간 객체 추적과 얼굴영역 추출 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 카메라가 고정되어 있고 배경영상의 변화가 거의 없는 환경으로 제한하고, 입력영상과 배경영상의 차를 이용하여 객체의 위치를 탐지하고 움직임을 추적한다. 보다 안정적인 객체 추출을 위해 적응적 배경영상을 생성하고, 객체 위치 탐지 시 그물식 탐색방법을 이용하여 객체의 내부점을 추출한다. 추출된 점들을 이용하여 MBR(Minimum Bounding Rectangle)을 설정하여 객체의 실시간 추적을 가능하도록 하였다. 또한 설정된 MBR 내에서 얼굴영역을 추출함으로써 보안 및 감시 시스템의 효용성을 향상시켰다. 그리고 실험을 통하여 제한된 환경 하에서 실시간으로 빠른 객체의 추적을 보인다.

본 논문에서는 전방위 영상을 활용하여 효과적으로 감시할 수 있는 뷰어 프로그램을 구현하였다. 프로그램은 크게 Normal mode, ROI(Region of Interest) mode, Tracking mode, Auto-rotation mode의 네 가지 모드로 구성되며, 각 모드에 대한 결과 영상을 동시에 표출하도록 구현하였다. Normal mode에서는 광각 영상을 구형 영상으로 렌더링하여 팬, 틸트, 줌이 가능하도록 하며, ROI mode는 보고 싶은 영역을 선택하면 해당 영역이 확장되어 표출된다. 그리고 Auto-rotation mode에서는, Tracking mode를 이용하여 객체 추적 시 객체가 구형 영상의 특정 영역을 이탈하는 경우를 방지하기 위해, 객체의 위치를 구형 영상의 회전각과 맵핑하여 회전함으로써 객체의 지속적인 추적이 가능하게 하였다. 복수의 모드를 동시에 처리하기 위한 병렬프로그래밍을 수행하여 연산 처리 속도를 개선하였으며, 이는 한정된 화각을 가진 종래의 카메라 기반 감시 시스템에 비해 동시에 다양한 각도를 볼 수 있다는 점에서 강점을 가진다.

This paper presents a new velocity estimation strategy for a non-salient permanent magnet synchronous motor drive without high frequency signal injection or special PWM pattern. This approach is based on the d-axis current regulator output voltage of the drive system, which contains the rotor position error information. The rotor velocity can be estimated through a rotor position tracking PI controller that controls the position error at zero. For zero and low speed operation, the PI gain of the rotor position tracking controller has a variable structure according to the estimated rotor velocity. Then, at zero speed, the rotor position and velocity have sluggish dynamics because the varying gains are very low in this region. In order to boost the bandwidth of the PI controller during zero speed, the loop recovery technique is applied to the control system. The PI tuning formulas are also derived by analyzing this control system by frequency domain specifications such as phase margin and bandwidth assignment.

This paper presents a new method to extract traffic information such as number of passing vehicles and average speed by a pair of stereo road images. The whole process consists of the extraction of vehicles and the tracking of the extracted vehicles. For the extraction of vehicles, the outline of each vehicle is obtained by using binary region growing technique applied to disparity map based on multi-resolution stereo matching. The Kalman filter tracking algorithm is applied to the extracted vehicle outlines to determine the flow of vehicles. Experimental results show that the proposed method significantly improved recognition rate of vehicles over the conventional methods-frame difference and background elimination methods.

In this letter, we propose a novel approach to detecting and tracking apartment buildings for the development of a video-based navigation system that provides augmented reality representation of guidance information on live video sequences. For this, we propose a building detector and tracker. The detector is based on the AdaBoost classifier followed by hierarchical clustering. The classifier uses modified Haar-like features as the primitives. The tracker is a motion-adjusted tracker based on pyramid implementation of the Lukas-Kanade tracker, which periodically confirms and consistently adjusts the tracking region. Experiments show that the proposed approach yields robust and reliable results and is far superior to conventional approaches.

The camera has limitations of poor visibility in underwater environment due to the limited light source and medium noise of the environment. However, its usefulness in close range has been proved in many studies, especially for navigation. Thus, in this paper, vision-based object detection and tracking techniques using artificial objects for underwater robots have been studied. We employed template matching and mean shift algorithms for the object detection and tracking methods. Also, we propose the weighted correlation coefficient of adaptive threshold -based and color-region-aided approaches to enhance the object detection performance in various illumination conditions. The color information is incorporated into the template matched area and the features of the template are used to robustly calculate correlation coefficients. And the objects are recognized using multi-template matching approach. Finally, the water basin experiments have been conducted to demonstrate the performance of the proposed techniques using an underwater robot platform yShark made by KORDI.

In this study, a visual sensor system which can detect I-butt weld joint with height variation and includes a seam tracking algorithm was investigated. Three-dimensional position of an object can be acquired by using the method of distance measurement, i.e., an optical trigonometry which results from the spatial relations between the camera, the object and the structured light by a visible laser. Effects of laser intensity and iris number for the image quality as well as object material were investigated for the optical system design. For the image processing, a region of interest is defined from the whole image and a line image of laser is drew by using the gray level difference in the image. From the drew laser line, the weld joint can be recognized in searching the biggest point position calculated from the central difference method. Through a series of welding experiments, a good tracking performance was confirmed under GMA welding.

Particle filter is a kind of conditional density propagation model. Its similar characteristics to both selection and mutation operator of evolutionary strategy (ES) due to its Bayesian inference rule structure, shows better performance than any other tracking algorithms. When a new object is entering the region of interest, particle filter sets which have been swarming around the existing objects have to move and track the new one instantaneously. Moreover, there is another problem that it could not track multiple objects well if they were moving away from each other after having been overlapped. To resolve reinitialization problem, we use competitive-AVQ algorithm of neural network. And we regard interfarme difference (IFD) of background images as potential field and give priority to the particles according to this IFD to track multiple objects independently. In this paper, we showed that the possibility of real-time object tracking as intelligent interfaces by simulating the deformable contour particle filters.
