특정한 제한을 두지 않는 복잡한 자연환경에서 사용자가 원하는 목표 물체만을 정확하게 검출하는 작업은 컴퓨터 비전 및 영상처리 분야에서 중요하지만 매우 어려운 문제 중의 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 반사가 존재하는 여러 환경에서 목표하는 물체를 강인하게 검출하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서는 먼저 스테레오 카메라를 이용하여 목표 물체를 촬영한 다음, 물체를 가장 잘 표현하는 라인과 코너 특징들을 추출한다. 그런 다음, 촬영된 좌우 영상으로부터 호모그래픽 변환을 이용하여 실제로 존재하지 않는 반사된 특징들을 효과적으로 제거한다. 마지막으로, 반사된 특징들을 제거한 실제 특징들만을 군집화하여 대상 물체만을 강건하게 검출한다. 본 논문의 실험결과에서는 제안된 알고리즘이 기존의 알고리즘에 비해서 반사가 존재하는 자연 환경에서 목표 물체를 보다 강인하게 검출한다는 것을 보여준다.

Recently, various and effective contrast based salient object detection models to focus on a single target have been proposed. However, there is a lack of research on detection of multiple objects, and also it is a more challenging task than single target process. In the multiple target problem, we are confronted by new difficulties caused by distinct difference between properties of objects. The characteristic of existing models depending on the global maximum distribution of data point would become a drawback for detection of multiple objects. In this paper, by analyzing limitations of the existing methods, we have devised three main processes to detect multiple salient objects. In the first stage, regional features are extracted from over-segmented regions. In the second stage, the regional features are categorized into homogeneous cluster using the mean-shift algorithm with the kernel function having various sizes. In the final stage, we compute saliency scores of the categorized regions using only spatial features without the contrast features, and then all scores are integrated for the final salient regions. In the experimental results, the scheme achieved superior detection accuracy for the SED2 and MSRA-ASD benchmarks with both a higher precision and better recall than state-of-the-art approaches. Especially, given multiple objects having different properties, our model significantly outperforms all existing models.

Detection and identification of targets from remotely sensed imagery are of great interest for civilian and military application. This paper presents an algorithm for target detection in high spatial resolution imagery based on the spectral and the dimensional characteristics of the reference target. In this algorithm, the spectral and the dimensional information of the reference target is extracted automatically from the sample image of the reference target. Then in the entire image, the candidate target pixels are extracted based on the spectral characteristics of the reference target. Finally, groups of candidate pixels which form isolated spatial objects of similar size to that of the reference target are extracted as detected targets. The experimental test results showed that even though the algorithm detected spatial objects which has different shape as targets if the spectral and the dimensional characteristics are similar to that of the reference target, it could detect 97.5% of the targets in the image. Using hyperspectral image and utilizing the shape information are expected to increase the performance of the proposed algorithm.

The conventional algorithms which identify and follow a moving target using a camera located at a fixed position are not appropriate for applying to the cases o( using mobile robots, due to their long processing time. This paper proposes a new tracking algorithm based on the sensing system which uses a line light with a single camera. The algorithm categirizes the motion patterns of a pair of mobile objects into parallel, branching, and merging motion, to decide of which objects the trajectories should be calculated to follow the reference object. Kalman Filter is used to estimate the trajectories of selected objects. The proposed algorithm has shown in the experiments that the mobile robot does not miss the target in most cases.

다양한 영상으로부터 사용자가 원하는 대상 물체를 정확하게 분할하는 기존의 기법은 2차원적인 특징을 위주로 사용하므로 3차원적인 정보가 부족하여 여러 제한사항이 존재한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 연속적으로 입력되는 3차원의 스테레오 입체 영상으로부터 2차원과 3차원의 특징을 결합하여 군집화함으로써 대상 물체를 보다 강건하게 분할하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서는 먼저 촬영된 장면의 좌우 스테레오 영상으로부터 스테레오 정합 알고리즘을 이용해 영상의 각 화소별로 카메라와 물체 사이의 거리를 나타내는 깊이 특징을 추출한다. 그런 다음, 깊이 특징과 색상 특징을 효과적으로 군집화하여 배경에 해당하는 영역을 제외하고, 전경에 해당하는 대상 물체를 감지한다. 실험에서는 본 논문에서 제안된 방법을 여러 가지 영상에 적용하여 테스트를 해 보았으며, 제안된 방법이 기존의 2차원 기반의 물체 분리 방법에 비해 보다 강건하게 대상물체를 분할함을 확인하였다.

The resonances that contain the information on the properties of the scattering target can be used for target reconstruction approaches. The inverse scattering theory for the resonances has been applied to the problems of the scattering for a spherical, cylindrical dielectric objects and dielectrically coated conductors, shown reasonable results. Though by using this method the thickness and the dielectric constants of the target can be obtained from a determination of the spacing and of the widths of the scattering resonances, the radius of the target should be given. In this paper, we suggest the improved inverse theory combined with the resonance scattering theory to obtain the radius in addition to the dielectric constant of the target. The applications of this method for scattering problems of electromagnetic waves from cylindrical targets were accomplished, and it shows its validity.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different objects and target location of dominant hand on the non-dominant hand movement kinematics in a bimanual reaching task. Fifteen right-handed volunteers were asked to reach from same starting point to the different target point of right and left hand with grasping the objects of different size. Independent variables were 1) three different object types (small mug cup, name pen, and PET bottle), and 2) three different target locations (shorter distance, same distance, and longer distance than the non-dominant hand) of the dominant hand. Dependent variables were movement time (MT), movement distance (MD), movement mean velocity ($MV_{mean}$), and movement peak velocity ($MV_{peak}$) of the non-dominant hand. Repeated measures two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test for differences in the non-dominant hand movement kinematics during bimanual reaching. The results of this study were as follows: 1) MT of the non-dominant hand was increased significantly when traveling with grasping the mug cup and reaching the far target location, and was decreased significantly when traveling with grasping the PET bottle and reaching the near target location of the dominant hand. 2) MD of the non-dominant hand was significantly increased during reaching the far target location, and significantly decreased during reaching the near target location with dominant hand. 3) $MV_{mean}$ of the non-dominant hand was increased significantly when traveling with grasping the PET bottle, and was decreased significantly when traveling with grasping the mug cup of the dominant hand. Therefore, it can be concluded that the changes of the ipsilateral hand movement have influence on coupling of the contralateral hand movement in bimanual reaching.

In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional (3D) image correlator by use of computational integral imaging reconstruction based on the modified convolution property of periodic functions (CPPF) for recognition of partially occluded objects. In the proposed correlator, elemental images of the reference and target objects are picked up by a lenslet array, and subsequently are transformed to a sub-image array which contains different perspectives according to the viewing direction. The modified version of the CPPF is applied to the sub-images. This enables us to produce the plane sub-image arrays without the magnification and superimposition processes used in the conventional methods. With the modified CPPF and the sub-image arrays, we reconstruct the reference and target plane sub-image arrays according to the reconstruction plane. 3D object recognition is performed through cross-correlations between the reference and the target plane sub-image arrays. To show the feasibility of the proposed method, some preliminary experiments on the target objects are carried out and the results are presented. Experimental results reveal that the use of plane sub-image arrays enables us to improve the correlation performance, compared to the conventional method using the computational integral imaging reconstruction algorithm.
