Video image processing systems (VIPS) offer numerous benefits to transportation models and applications, due to their ability to monitor traffic in real time. VIPS based on a wide-area detection algorithm provide traffic parameters such as flow and velocity as well as occupancy and density. However, most current commercial VIPS utilize a tripwire detection algorithm that examines image intensity changes in the detection regions to indicate vehicle presence and passage, i.e., they do not identify individual vehicles as unique targets. If VIPS are developed to track individual vehicles and thus trace vehicle trajectories, many existing transportation models will benefit from more detailed information of individual vehicles. Furthermore, additional information obtained from the vehicle trajectories will improve incident detection by identifying lane change maneuvers and acceleration/deceleration patterns. However, unlike human vision, VIPS cameras have difficulty in recognizing vehicle movements over a detection zone longer than 100 meters. Over such a distance, the camera operators need to zoom in to recognize objects. As a result, vehicle tracking with a single camera is limited to detection zones under 100m. This paper develops a methodology capable of monitoring individual vehicle trajectories based on image processing. To improve traffic flow surveillance, a long distance tracking algorithm for use over 200m is developed with multi-closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras. The algorithm is capable of recognizing individual vehicle maneuvers and increasing the effectiveness of incident detection.

This paper explains effective tracking method for a vehicle cutting in a line on the road automatically. The method employs KLT based on optical flow using play-back image sequence. Main contribution of this paper is play-back image sequence that is in order image frames for rewind direction from a reference point in time. The moment when recognizing camera can read a license plate very well can usually be the reference point in time. The biggest images of object traced can usually be obtained at this moment also. When optic flow is applied, the bigger image of the object traced can be obtained, the more feature points can be obtained. More many feature points bring good result of tracking object. After the recognizing cameras read a license plate on the vehicle suspected of cut-in-line violation, and then the system extracts the play-back image sequence from the tracking cameras for watching wide range. This paper compares using play-back image sequence as normal method for tracking to using play-forward image sequence as suggested method on the results of the experiment and also shows the suggested algorithm has a good performance that can be applied to the unmanned system for watching cut-in-line violation.

For an unmanned vehicle to be driven on the off-road terrain, it is necessary to consider the vehicle's stability. This paper suggests a path tracking controller for simulation of real-time vehicle stability analysis. The path tracking controller uses the preview distance to track the given trajectory. The disturbance moment is estimated using the yaw moment observer, and this information is used for compensation in the yaw moment control. On a curved path, the vehicle's desired velocity is determined from the curvature of the path. Because the vehicle is equipped with six independent motor driven wheels, the driving torques are distributed on all the wheels. The effectiveness of the path tracking controller is verified using ADAMS/MATLAB co-simulation.

본 연구에서는 도시계획결정 이후 예산등의 이유로 장기간 집행되지 않은 도시계획 도로시설의 가시적인 관리 및 활용에 있어 참고자료의 하나로서 Google Earth 영상을 이용하였다. 연구 대상지의 Google Earth 영상을 취득하여 미집행 시설을 추적한 결과, 실제의 토지이용현황을 구체적으로 반영함과 동시에 시간과 경제적 비용을 절약할 수 있는 추적방법으로 평가 되었다. 향후 미집행 시설의 관리나 집행 시 기초적인 참고자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Adaptive neural networks based lateral controller is presented to guarantee path following performance for vehicle lane keeping in the presence of parameter time-varying characteristics of the vehicle lateral dynamics due to the road surface condition, load distribution, tire pressure and so on. The proposed adaptive controller could compensate vehicle lateral dynamics deviated from nominal dynamics resulting from parameter variations by incorporating it with neural networks that have the ability to approximate any given nonlinear function by adjusting weighting matrices. The controller is derived by using Lyapunov-based approach, which provides adaptive update rules for weighting matrices of neural networks. To show the superiority of the presented adaptive neural networks controller, the simulation results are given while comparing with backstepping controller chosen as the baseline controller. According to the simulation results, it is shown that the proposed controller can effectively keep the vehicle tracking the pre-given trajectory in high velocity and curvature with much accuracy under parameter variations.

In this paper, we propose an approach to identify the driving environment for intelligent highway vehicles by means of image processing and computer vision techniques. The proposed approach mainly consists of two consecutive computational steps. The first step is the lane marking detection, which is used to identify the location of the host vehicle and road geometry. In this step, related standard image processing techniques are adapted for lane-related information. In the second step, by using the output from the first step, a four-stage algorithm for vehicle detection is proposed to provide information on the relative position and speed between the host vehicle and each preceding vehicle. The proposed approach has been validated in several real-world scenarios. Herein, experimental results indicate low false alarm and low false dismissal and have demonstrated the robustness of the proposed detection approach.

This paper outlines opportunities and challenges in the implementation of BPEL based WFMS(WorkFlow Management System) for the MES(Manufacturing Execution Systems) in semiconductor manufacturing. At present, the most MESs in semiconductor wafer fabrication shop have the problems in terms of application software integration, reactivity, and adaptability. When a plant has to produce new product mix, remodel the manufacturing execution process, or replace obsolete equipments, the principal road blocks for responding to new manufacturing environment are the difficulties in porting existing application software to new configurations. In this paper, the issues about WFMS technologies including BPEL standard applied for MES are presented. And then, we introduce the integrated development framework named nanoFlow which is optimized for developing the BPEL based WFMS application for automated manufacturing system. And we describe a WFMS implemented with using nanoFlow framework, review and evaluate the system.

본 논문은 고정된 카메라를 통해 들어오는 도로연상에서 추적되는 다중 차량들의 겹침(occlusion)발생시 칼만 필터와 차량의 특징정보를 이용하여 개별 차량을 분할하고 추적 가능한 시스템을 제안하고 구현하였다. 다중 차량을 추적할 시 가장 큰 문제점이 되고 있는 차량 겹침을 해결하기 위해 카메라와의 거리를 이용하여 해결하는 방법 3D 모델을 이용하여 해결하는 방법, 겹침 추론 등 차량 겹침을 해결하기 위한 여러 가지 방법들이 제시되고 있다. 그러나 영상에 연속적으로 나타나는 다중 차량의 겹침을 단일 차량으로 인식할 수 는 단점이 있다. 따라서 칼만 필터와 차량의 특징 정보로서 차량의 높이와 넓이의 비, 추적에 사용되는 박스에서 차량과 여백의 비를 이용함으로서 연속적으로 나타날 수 있는 차량 겹침을 분할하고 추적 가능하게 하는 시스템을 구현하고 실험하였다. 본 시스템에서는 256X 256의 크기로 15 frames/sec로 저장된 AVI 파일 형식의 동영상을 사용하여 실험에 이용하였으며, 시내 도로에서의 차량들의 실험 결과 기존의 방법 보다 차량 특징 정보를 이용한 방법이 연속적 겹침에 대한 처리에 우수함을 보였다.

The dynamics of the vehicle system has highly nonlinear components such as an engine, a torque converter and variable road condition. This thesis proposes a Fuzzy Logic Algorithm that shows better control performance than Antiwindup PI in the highly nonlinear vehicle system. Traction Control System(TCS), which adjusts throttle valve opening by Fuzzy Logic Algorithm improves vehicle drivability, steerability and stability when vehicle is starting and cornering. When a throttle valve is opened at large degree, Fuzzy Logic Algorithm shows better performances like a small settling time and a small oscillation than Antiwindup PI in simulation. The decreased desired slip ratio improves steerability in the simulation when a vehicle is cornering. The Fuzzy Logic Algorithm has been tested by a 1/5-scale vehicle for tracking the constant desired velocity.

A vision system for Intelligent vehicles here. The system exploits the characteristics of the gray level histogram of the road to detect lane markers. Each lane maker is then analyzed using a decision tree, and finally the relations between lane markers are analyzed to create structures defining the lane boundaries. The resulting system also generates images that can be used ae preprocessing stages in lane detection, lane tracking or obstacle detection algorithm. The system runs in realtime ay rates of about 30Hz.
