Considering video copy transform diversity, a multi-feature video copy detection algorithm based on a Speeded-Up Robust Features (SURF) local descriptor is proposed in this paper. Video copy coarse detection is done by an ordinal measure (OM) algorithm after the video is preprocessed. If the matching result is greater than the specified threshold, the video copy fine detection is done based on a SURF descriptor and a box filter is used to extract integral video. In order to improve video copy detection speed, the Hessian matrix trace of the SURF descriptor is used to pre-match, and dimension reduction is done to the traditional SURF feature vector for video matching. Our experimental results indicate that video copy detection precision and recall are greatly improved compared with traditional algorithms, and that our proposed multiple features algorithm has good robustness and discrimination accuracy, as it demonstrated that video detection speed was also improved.

Extracting unique features from an image is a fundamental issue when making panorama images, acquiring stereo images, recognizing objects and analyzing images. Generally, the task to compare features to other images requires much computing time because some features are formed as a vector which has many elements. In this paper, we present a method that compares features after reducing the feature dimension extracted from an image using PCA(principal component analysis) and sorting the features in a linked list. SURF(speeded up robust features) is used to describe image features. When the dimension reduction method is applied, we can reduce the computing time without decreasing the matching accuracy. The proposed method is proved to be fast and robust in experiments.

This paper describes a vision-based only attitude estimation technique for the leader in the formation flight. The feature points in image obtained from the X-PLANE simulator are extracted by the SURF(Speed Up Robust Features) algorithm. We use POSIT(Pose from Orthography and Scaling with Iteration) algorithm to estimate attitude. Finally we verify that attitude estimation using vision only can yield small estimated error of $1.1{\sim}1.76^{\circ}$.

In this paper, we propose a drowsy driver detection system with a novel eye state detection method that is adaptive to various vehicle environment such as glasses, light and so forth using SURF(Speed Up Robust Feature) which can extract quickly local features from images. Also the performance of eye state detection is improved as individual three eye-state templates of each driver can be made using Bayesian inference. The experimental results under various environment with average 98.1% and 96.1% detection rate in the daytime and at night respectively and those in the opened ZJU database with average 97.8% detection rate show that the proposed method outperforms the current state-of-the-art.

In this paper, we propose the classification method of medicine bottle images using the features with color and size information. It is difficult to classify with size feature only, because there are many similar sizes of bottles. Therefore, we suggest a classification method based on color information, which robust to illumination variations. First, we extract MBR(Minimum Boundary Rectangle) of medicine bottle area using Binary Threshold of Red, Green, and Blue in image and classify images with size. Then, hue information and RGB color average rate are used to classify image, which features are robust to lighting variations. Finally, using SURF(Speed Up Robust Features) algorithm, corresponding image can be found from candidates with previous extracted features. The proposed method makes to reduce execution time and minimize the error rate and is confirmed to be reliable and efficient from experiment.

This paper introduces an objects recognition algorithm based on SURF(Speeded Up Robust Features) and GP(Genetic Programming) based gaits generation. Combining both methods, a recognition based intelligent walking for quadruped robots is proposed. The gait of quadruped robots is generated by means of symbolic regression for each joint trajectories using GP. A position and size of target object are recognized by SURF which enables high speed feature extraction, and then the distance to the object is calculated. Experiments for objects recognition and autonomous walking for quadruped robots are executed for ODE based Webots simulation and real robot.

영상 매칭은 컴퓨터 비전에서 중요한 기초 기술 중에 하나이다. 하지만 스케일, 회전, 조명, 시점변화에 강인한 대응점을 찾는 것은 쉬운 작업이 아니다. 이러한 문제점을 보안하기 위해서 스케일 불변 특징 변환(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) 고속의 강인한 특징 추출(Speeded up robust features) 알고리즘등에 제안되었지만, 시점 변화에 있어서 취약한 문제점을 나타냈다. 본 논문에서는 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 시점 변화에 강인한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 시점 변화에 강인한 영상매칭을 위해서 원본 영상과 질의 영상간 유사도 높은 특징점들의 호모그래피 변환을 이용해서 질의 영상을 원본 영상과 유사하게 보정한 뒤에 매칭을 통해서 시점 변화에 강인한 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 시점이 변화된 여러 영상을 통해서 기존 SIFT,SURF와 성능과 수행 시간을 비교 함으로서, 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘의 우수성을 입증 하였다.

Images taken using drones have been applied to fields that require rapid decision-making as they can quickly construct high-quality 3D spatial information for small regions. To construct spatial information based on drone images, it is necessary to determine the relationship between images by extracting keypoints between adjacent drone images and performing image matching. Therefore, in this study, three study regions photographed using a drone were selected: a region where parking lots and a lake coexisted, a downtown region with buildings, and a field region of natural terrain, and the performance of AKAZE (Accelerated-KAZE), BRISK (Binary Robust Invariant Scalable Keypoints), KAZE, ORB (Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF), SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform), and SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features) algorithms were analyzed. The performance of the keypoints extraction algorithms was compared with the distribution of extracted keypoints, distribution of matched points, processing time, and matching accuracy. In the region where the parking lot and lake coexist, the processing speed of the BRISK algorithm was fast, and the SURF algorithm showed excellent performance in the distribution of keypoints and matched points and matching accuracy. In the downtown region with buildings, the processing speed of the AKAZE algorithm was fast and the SURF algorithm showed excellent performance in the distribution of keypoints and matched points and matching accuracy. In the field region of natural terrain, the keypoints and matched points of the SURF algorithm were evenly distributed throughout the image taken by drone, but the AKAZE algorithm showed the highest matching accuracy and processing speed.

영상 매칭은 컴퓨터 비전에서 기초적인 기술로써 영상 추적, 물체인식 등 다양한 분양에서 많이 사용되고 있다. 하지만 스케일, 시점변화, 조명 변화에 강인한 매칭점을 찾는 것은 어려운 일이다. 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위해 SURF(Scale Invariant Feature Transform), SIFT(Speed up Robust Features) 등의 알고리즘이 제안 되었지만, 여전히 조명변화에 불안정하고 정확하지 못한 성능을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 조명변화에 대한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 히스토그램 평활화를 이용하여 영상을 보정 후, SURF를 통한 영상 매칭을 하였다. 열악한 조명환경 내에서 촬영된 영상에서 SURF를 이용하여 표현자(Descriptor)를 생성 할 때 특징점이 잘 추출되지 않는 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 히스토그램 평활화를 이용하였고, 보정 후 특징점 개수가 많이 증가하는 것을 보여 확인하였다. 기존의 SURF와 개량된 SURF를 조명이 서로 다른 영상간의 매칭 성능을 비교함으로써 제안한 알고리즘의 우수성을 확인하였다
