A lightscape is displayed by lots of luminance containing the wide range of lighting. The measurement of the luminance is limited because the brightness distribution was measured from a point in the existing methods. We used DSLR cameras to get information of the luminance efficiently and conveniently. The application of DSLR camera which easily provides images is widely used nowadays. We suggested the analysis of the luminance and measurement method of the scene from DSLR images using luminance distribution measurement technique.

Recently, ubiquitous computing and related technologies is more and more growing concern about. Depending on the trend, the moving object recognition and tracking research have been required in order to meet the diverse needs of the user. In the location-based services, one of the most important issues in the indoor environment is to provide location-aware services. In this paper, the effective algorithm to help estimate the position of moving objects in an indoor environment is proposed. We propose an algorithm that combined the existing trilateration measurement and the improved measurement of environmental adaptation scene analysis. The proposed indoor location estimation algorithm use the trilateration measurement when we have enough anchor in the line-of-sight environment. Otherwise that use measurement of environmental adaptation scene analysis. Consequently, the proposed algorithm has been improved the localization accuracy of a moving object as well as was able to reduce complexity of the algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a luminance correction algorithm based on measuring position for potable luminance measurement system. Measurement position and angle have an affect on the luminance value. We improve the position-based luminance measurement system using luminance correction algorithm based on the measuring angle. We analyze change of luminance value according to the measurement distance and angle from camera and light source. The certified point-luminance meter is used to evaluate a scene luminance measuring method using the image information of camera. Also, we derive an expression equation for evaluating luminance value from determined position. The performances of the proposed system are verified by using comparative experiments with the point-luminance meter using experimental signboard.

It was described the measured friction loss depending on pressure used and changes in water flow rates for a fire hose used at a fire scene on this study. As a result of actual measurement based on the result obtained by analyzing the use situation of a fire hose such as the kind, quantity, pressure used, etc. of a fire hose, the friction loss in a fire hose under the condition of using by a fire officer at a fire scene was measured as up to 56.8 %. This is much different from the equivalent length of a fire hose used to calculate the pump head in an indoor and outdoor fire-fighting facility. There is no related restrictive regulation on friction loss, there are even no data on friction loss measured by fire hose makers, and spreading a fire hose without considering friction loss at a fire scene can result in an increased length of hose used and a high-pressure water discharge from a fire engine, so this study aims to establish a standard for an equivalent length to friction loss in a fire hose and to propose a spreading method considering friction loss in a fire hose at a fire scene.

Traffic information can be broadly categorized into point information and spatial information. Point information can be obtained by chocking only the presence of vehicles at prespecified points(small area), whereas spatial information can be obtained by monitoring large area of traffic scene. To obtain spatial information by image processing, we need to track vehicles in the whole area of traffic scene. Image detector system based on global tracking consists of video input, vehicle detection, vehicle tracking, and traffic information measurement. For video input, conventional approaches used auto iris which is very poor in adaptation for sudden brightness change. Conventional methods for background generation do not yield good results in intersections with heave traffic and most of the early studies measure only point information. In this paper, we propose user-controlled iris method to remedy the deficiency of auto iris and design flame difference-based background generation method which performs far better in complicated intersections. We also propose measurement method for spatial traffic information such as interval volume/lime/velocity, queue length, and turning/forward traffic flow. We obtain measurement accuracy of 95%∼100% when applying above mentioned new methods.

A method to recognize unpaved road region using a 3D depth measurement system is proposed for mobile robots. For autonomous maneuvering of mobile robots, recognition of obstacles or recognition of road region is the essential task. In this paper, the 3D depth measurement system which is composed of a rotating mirror, a line laser and mono-camera is employed to detect depth, where the laser light is reflected by the mirror and projected to the scene objects whose locations are to be determined. The obtained depth information is converted into an image. Such depth images of the road region represent even and plane while that of off-road region is irregular or textured. Therefore, the problem falls into a texture identification problem. Road region is detected employing a simple spatial differentiation technique to detect the plain textured area. Identification results of the diverse situation of unpaved trail are included in this paper.

Recently, the development of computer achieves a system which is similar to the mechanics of human visual system. The 3-dimensional measurement using monocular vision system must be achieved a camera calibration. So far, the camera calibration technique required reference target in a scene. But, these methods are inefficient because they have many calculation procedures and difficulties in analysis. Therefore, this paper proposes a native method that without reference target in a scene. We use the grid type frame with different line widths. This method uses vanishing point concept that possess a rotation parameter of the camera and perspective ration that perspect each line widths into a image. We confirmed accuracy of calibration parameter estimation through experiment on the algorithm with a grid paper with different line widths.

A measurement method is proposed which finds 3-D position and attitude of a known polyhedra utilizing shading information. Through the systematic interpretation of relations between polyhedra and its image as well as shadow image and also the determination of candidate position, 3-D information with respect to vertex of polyhedra is extracted. Following preprocessing of this information, the image of polyhedra is represented in terms of the scene with positioned object and the correspondence is searched by means of matching process between a scene description of the object and the correspondence is searched by means of matching process between a scene description of the object and a model description stored in data-base. In the experiments, initially 3-D information is employed to select several model regions, and objects are recognized through matching process with respect to scene regions. The results demonstrate that the recognition system performs with a high efficiency by proper selection of the threshold values.
