거리 계측 시스템은 물체까지의 거리를 삼차원 좌표계에서 측정하는 장치이다. 군용 장비나 건설, 항해, 검사 조립, 로봇 비전 등에 널리 사용되는 무접촉식 원격 거리 계측(ranging) 시스템은 자동화 응용에 매우 중요하다. 계측 방식은 active와 passive방식으로 구분되는데, active방식은 laser나 microwave, 초음파 등의 time of flight를 이용하거나 레이저 조사(illumination)에 대한 카메라 영상을 해석하는 등의 다양한 방식이 있으나 장치가 복잡하며, passive 방식은 stereo camera의 양안영상을 이용하거나 focus특성을 이용하는 방식 등이 있으나 대부분 연산시간이 많이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 수동식 스테레오 카메라에서 양안시차를 산출하여 triangulation으로 목표전의 거리를 측정하는 방식에서, 연산 시간이 많이 소요되는 과정을 고속으로 처리하는 새로운 방식을 제안하였다. 즉, 목표점에서의 양안 edge 영상을 구하고, 이 영상의 projection profile을 cross correlation하여, 시차를 고속으로 산출해 거리를 구하는 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 이 방식의 효율성을 실험 결과를 통하여 보였다.

최근 비행시간 (Time-of-Flight, TOF) 원리에 기반한 깊이 카메라의 등장과 함께 저해상도 깊이 카메라와 고해상도 컬러 카메라로 이루어진 복합형 카메라 시스템 (Fusion Camera System) 이 각광을 받고 있다. 복합형 카메라 시스템에서 취득한 저해상도 깊이맵을 컬러 영상과 같은 영상 평면 (Image Plane) 에 위치시키고 같은 해상도를 가질 수 있게 하려면 카메라 보정 및 3차원 투영, 홀 (Hole) 채우기와 같은 일련의 전처리 과정이 필요하다. 그러나 전처리 과정을 거친 깊이맵은 깊이 카메라의 내부 특성, 카메라 보정의 부정확성 등에 의해 많은 오차를 가진다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 오차가 많은 상황에서도 강건하게 동작하는 깊이맵 업샘플링 방법을 제안한다. 먼저, 전처리 과정을 통해 얻은 깊이 정보의 신뢰도를 컬러 영상과의 상관관계에 기반하여 측정한다. 그리고 낮은 신뢰도의 깊이 정보를 참조하지 않는 수정된 커널 회기법 (Kernel Regression)을 통해 깊이맵과 컬러 영상의 경계 정합을 수행하여 세밀한 깊이 표현이 가능한 고해상도 깊이맵을 형성한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 깊이 정보의 신뢰도 정의와 그에 따른 참조를 통해 카메라 보정 결과가 부정확하더라도 높은 성능의 깊이맵 생성을 보장한다. 실험결과를 통해 기존의 깊이맵 업샘플링 기술보다 제안하는 방법이 더 정확한 깊이 정보를 제공하는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

In this paper range measurement systems using ultrasonic and visual sensors are designed. By varying the focus of a camera, the range to a target pattern is computed. Pour different methods are tested for the focusing-based range measurement. The best result is obtained when counting edge pixels found by Laplacian operator. Higher accuracy can be obtained by fusing the measurement of camera focusing with that of ultrasonic sensor. The system designed is experimented within the range of 300-450mm.

This paper presents a sensor fusion method to recognize a cylindrical object a CCD camera, a laser slit beam and ultrasonic sensors on a pan/tilt device. For object recognition with a vision sensor, an active light source projects a stripe pattern of light on the object surface. The 2D image data are transformed into 3D data using the geometry between the camera and the laser slit beam. The ultrasonic sensor uses an ultrasonic transducer array mounted in horizontal direction on the pan/tilt device. The time of flight is estimated by finding the maximum correlation between the received ultrasonic pulse and a set of stored templates - also called a matched filter. The distance of flight is calculated by simply multiplying the time of flight by the speed of sound and the maximum amplitude of the filtered signal is used to determine the face angle to the object. To determine the position and the radius of cylindrical objects, we use a statistical sensor fusion. Experimental results show that the fused data increase the reliability for the object recognition.

This paper presents an automatic target tracking flight system using a PID controller based on velocity command of a multirotor UAV. The automatic flight system includes marker based onboard target detection and an automatic velocity command generation replacing manual controller. A quad-rotor UAV is equipped with a camera and an image processing computer to detect the marker in real time and to estimate the relative distance from the target. The marker tracking system consists of PID controller and generates velocity command based on the relative distance. The generated velocity command is used as the input of the UAV's original flight controller. The operation of the proposed system was verified through actual flight tests using a marker on top of a moving vehicle and tracks it to successfully demonstrate its capability using a quad-rotor UAV.

This paper describes design, implementation and functional test of on-board flight analog video system. Video system is the part of the telemetry system as a means of providing flight vehicle's image data.

A three-dimensional image capturing device and its signal processing algorithm and apparatus are presented. Three dimensional information is one of emerging differentiators that provides consumers with more realistic and immersive experiences in user interface, game, 3D-virtual reality, and 3D display. It has the depth information of a scene together with conventional color image so that full-information of real life that human eyes experience can be captured, recorded and reproduced. 20 Mega-Hertz-switching high speed image shutter device for 3D image capturing and its application to system prototype are presented[1,2]. For 3D image capturing, the system utilizes Time-of-Flight (TOF) principle by means of 20MHz high-speed micro-optical image modulator, so called 'optical resonator'. The high speed image modulation is obtained using the electro-optic operation of the multi-layer stacked structure having diffractive mirrors and optical resonance cavity which maximizes the magnitude of optical modulation[3,4]. The optical resonator is specially designed and fabricated realizing low resistance-capacitance cell structures having small RC-time constant. The optical shutter is positioned in front of a standard high resolution CMOS image sensor and modulates the IR image reflected from the object to capture a depth image (Figure 1). Suggested novel optical resonator enables capturing of a full HD depth image with depth accuracy of mm-scale, which is the largest depth image resolution among the-state-of-the-arts, which have been limited up to VGA. The 3D camera prototype realizes color/depth concurrent sensing optical architecture to capture 14Mp color and full HD depth images, simultaneously (Figure 2,3). The resulting high definition color/depth image and its capturing device have crucial impact on 3D business eco-system in IT industry especially as 3D image sensing means in the fields of 3D camera, gesture recognition, user interface, and 3D display. This paper presents MEMS-based optical resonator design, fabrication, 3D camera system prototype and signal processing algorithms.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a new vault technique through a kinematic comparison of the YANG Hak Seon and Yeo 2 vaults. Method: The photographic images of the YANG Hak Seon and Yeo 2 vaults were collected using a high-speed camera, and their kinematic characteristics were analyzed using three-dimensional image analysis. Results: During the post-flight phase of the Yeo 2 and YANG Hak Seon vaults, the time of flight, height of flight, and flight distance were similar. At the peak of the post-flight phase, the trunk rotation angle of the YANG Hak Seon vault rotated $457^{\circ}$ more than did the Yeo 2 vault. During the post-flight descending period, the twist velocity of the trunk was much faster with the YANG Hak Seon vault ($1,278^{\circ}/s$) than with the Yeo 2 vault ($1,016^{\circ}/s$). Conclusion: To succeed in the new technique, the average twist velocity during post-flight must be maintained at $1,058^{\circ}/s$ and the twist velocity must be increased from the ascending phase.

최근에, 효율적인 상호작용을 지원하는 시스템 인 휴먼 머신 인터페이스(HMI)가 인기를 끌고있다. 본 논문에서는 차량 상호작용방법 중 하나로 새로운 실시간 저비용 손동작 제어 시스템을 제안한다. 계산 시간을 줄이기 위해 RGB 카메라를 사용하여 손 영역을 감지할 때 많은 계산이 필요하므로 TOF (Time-of-Flight) 카메라를 사용하여 깊이 정보를 취득한다. 또한, 푸리에 기술자를 사용하여 학습 모델을 줄였다. 푸리에 디스크립터는 전체 이미지에서 적은 수의 포인트만 사용하므로 학습 모델을 소형화 할 수 있다. 제안 된 기법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 데스크탑과 라즈베리 pi 2의 속도를 비교했다. 실험 결과에 따르면 소형 임베디드와 데스크탑의 성능 차이는 크지 않다. 제스처 인식 실험에서 95.16 %의 인식률이 확인되었다.

IPresented is a small and handy remotely piloted vehicle(RPV) that can be used for military and non-military surveillance operations. The RPV is equipped with an on-board high resolution color camera to transmit the analog video images and on-board electronics to provide real-time flight information to the pilot, thereby enabling him/her to remotely pilot within the range of 5 km radius. This paper describes the RPV system including its design, manufacturing and flight test results which manifest the stability of on-board mission and flight equipment as well as the remote piloting capability. A future plan for necessary improvements identified from the flight tests are also discussed.
