Mobile devices like smartphones and tablets are becoming increasingly capable in terms of processing power. Although they are already used in computer vision, no comparable measurement experiments of the popular feature extraction algorithm have been made yet. That is, local feature descriptors are widely used in many computer vision applications, and recently various methods have been proposed. While there are many evaluations have focused on various aspects of local features, matching accuracy, however there are no comparisons considering on speed trade-offs of recent descriptors such as ORB, FAST and BRISK. In this paper, we try to provide a performance evaluation of feature descriptors, and compare their matching precision and speed in KD-Tree setup with efficient computation of Hamming distance. The experimental results show that the recently proposed real valued descriptors such as ORB and FAST outperform state-of-the-art descriptors such SIFT and SURF in both, speed-up efficiency and precision/recall.

확산이 지배적인 흐름을 가정하여, 쇄파대의 해향저류와 난류구조에 대한 수치모형이 $ extsc{k}$-$\varepsilon$ 난류모형을 이용하여 개발되었다. 해향저류란 쇄파대에서 바다쪽으로 흐르는 주기평균된 강한 흐름을 말하며 주로 파곡 아래에 나타난다. 롤러에서 쇄파에 의해 발생된 난류는 아래쪽으로 퍼져나가면서 그 기운을 잃게된다. 지배 방정식은 파에 의한 주기평균-전단응력이 고려된 운동 방정식과 쇄파에 의한 난류 에너지 생성이 포함된 $textsc{k}$-와 $\varepsilon$-식으로 구성된다. 이 식들은 삼단계 완전 음해법으로 차분되고, Thomas 알고리즘으로 풀 수 있다. 쇄파지점에 가까운 곳을 제외하면, 모형은 실험값과 좋은 일치를 보여준다

특징 기반 영상 인식 방법은 객체의 특징을 이용하므로 템플릿 정합에 비해 고속으로 수행될 수 있다. 불변 특징 기반의 파노라마 생성은 영상 인식의 한 응용으로서, 두 영상 간의 특징점 정합에 많은 처리 시간이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 특징 강도 정보를 이용하여 특징점 정합 속도를 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. SURF 알고리즘으로 특징점들을 추출한 후, 특징 강도 정보를 계산하여 강한 특징점들을 선택하여 특징 정합에 사용한다. 특징 강도가 강한 특징점들은 그렇지 않은 특징점들 보다 더 의미 있다고 볼 수 있다. 실험에서 $320{\times}240$ 크기의 칼라 영상에 대해 제안한 방법은 특징 강도 정보를 사용하지 않았을 때보다 40% 이상 처리 속도의 향상을 보였다.

With the remarkable growth in rich media in recent years, people are increasingly exposed to visual information from the environment. Visual information continues to play a vital role in rich media because people's real interests lie in dynamic information. This paper proposes a novel discrete dynamic swarm optimization (DDSO) algorithm for video object tracking using invariant features. The proposed approach is designed to track objects more robustly than other traditional algorithms in terms of illumination changes, background noise, and occlusions. DDSO is integrated with a matching procedure to eliminate inappropriate feature points geographically. The proposed novel fitness function can aid in excluding the influence of some noisy mismatched feature points. The test results showed that our approach can overcome changes in illumination, background noise, and occlusions more effectively than other traditional methods, including color-tracking and invariant feature-tracking methods.

This paper proposes a novel formation algorithm of identical robots based on object tracking method using omni-directional images obtained through fisheye lenses which are mounted on the robots. Conventional formation methods of multi-robots often use stereo vision system or vision system with reflector instead of general purpose camera which has small angle of view to enlarge view angle of camera. In addition, to make up the lack of image information on the environment, robots share the information on their positions through communication. The proposed system estimates the region of robots using SURF in fisheye images that have $360^{\circ}$ of image information without merging images. The whole system controls formation of robots based on moving directions and velocities of robots which can be obtained by applying Lucas-Kanade Optical Flow Estimation for the estimated region of robots. We confirmed the reliability of the proposed formation control strategy for multi-robots through both simulation and experiment.

The accuracy of an augmented reality (AR) application is highly dependent on the resolution of the object's image and the device's computational processing capability. Naturally, a mobile smart device equipped with a high-resolution camera becomes the best platform for portable AR services. AR applications require significant energy consumption and very fast response time, which are big burdens to the smart device. However, there are very few ways to overcome these burdens. Computation offloading via mobile cloud computing has the potential to provide energy savings and enhance the performance of applications executed on smart devices. Therefore, in this paper, adaptive mobile computation offloading of mobile AR applications is considered in order to determine optimal offloading points that satisfy the required quality of experience (QoE) while consuming minimum energy of the smart device. AR feature extraction based on SURF algorithm is partitioned into sub-stages in order to determine the optimal AR cloud computational offloading point based on conditions of the smart device, wireless and wired networks, and AR service cloud servers. Tradeoffs in energy savings and processing time are explored also taking network congestion and server load conditions into account.

Image stitching is a process of combining two or more images with overlapping area to create a panorama of input images, which is considered as an active research area in computer vision, especially in the field of augmented reality with 360 degree images. Image stitching techniques can be categorized into two general approaches: direct and feature based techniques. Direct techniques compare all the pixel intensities of the images with each other, while feature based approaches aim to determine a relationship between the images through distinct features extracted from the images. This paper proposes a novel image stitching method based on feature pixels with approximated clustering filter. When the features are extracted from input images, we calculate a meaning of the minutiae, and apply an effective feature extraction algorithm to improve the processing time. With the evaluation of the results, the proposed method is corresponding accurate and effective, compared to the previous approaches.

With the popularity of sensor-rich environments, smartphones have become one of the major platforms for obtaining and sharing information. Since it is difficult to utilize GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) inside the area with many buildings, the localization of smartphone in this case is considered as a challenging task. To resolve problem of localization using smartphone a four step image-based localization method and procedure is proposed. To improve the localization accuracy of smartphone datasets, MMS (Mobile Mapping System) and Google Street View were utilized. In our approach first, the searching for candidate matching image is performed by the query image of smartphone's using GNSS observation. Second, the SURF (Speed-Up Robust Features) image matching between the smartphone image and reference dataset is done and the wrong matching points are eliminated. Third, the geometric transformation is performed using the matching points with 2D affine transformation. Finally, the smartphone location and attitude estimation are done by PnP (Perspective-n-Point) algorithm. The location of smartphone GNSS observation is improved from the original 10.204m to a mean error of 3.575m. The attitude estimation is lower than 25 degrees from the 92.4% of the adjsuted images with an average of 5.1973 degrees.

본 연구는 특징점 기반 변위 계측 알고리즘에서 환경 변화 및 타겟의 종류에 따라 특징점 검출 성능을 비교 분석하였고, 특징점 검출 알고리즘에 따른 변위 측정정확도를 비교 분석하기 위해 진행되었다. 성능 평가를 위해 3층 전단 구조물을 설계하였으며, FHD(1920×1080)급 카메라를 활용하여 구조물의 변위 응답을 기록하였다. 촬영거리 증가와 조도 변화에 따른 성능분석을 위해 최초 촬영거리를 10m로 설정하여 10m씩 멀어지면서 최대 40m까지 실험을 수행하였으며, 두 가지 조도 환경(450lux와 120lux)을 조성하였다. 구조물에 설치된 인공 타겟과 자연 타겟(볼트연결부 및 슬래브 단면적)을 관심영역으로 설정하여 Shi-Tomasi corner, SURF, BRISK 및 KAZE 특징점 검출 알고리즘으로 특징점을 검출하였다. 특징점 검출 성능분석 결과 Shi-Tomasi corner와 KAZE 알고리즘이 타겟 종류, 조도변화 및 촬영거리 증가에 강건한 것으로 보여줬으며, 두 알고리즘을 활용한 변위 측정정확도도 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 자연 타겟 활용시 변위 측정정확도는 인공 타겟의 경우보다 낮아지는 것을 보여주며, 밝기 대비가 가장 낮은 슬래브 단면적을 타겟으로 활용시 비전센서 운용거리가 20m로 적용 한계성을 보여줬다. 이는 촬영거리 증가에 따라 자연 타겟의 해상도가 저하되어 특징점을 추출에 한계성을 나타냈다.
