In this paper, we propose a new structure modeling algorithm from 3D cloud points of terrestrial LADAR data. Terrestrial LIDAR data have various obstacles which make it difficult to apply conventional algorithms designed for air-borne LIDAR data. In the proposed algorithm, the field data are separated into several clusters by adopting the structure extraction method which uses color information and Hough transform. And cluster based Delaunay triangulation technique is sequentially applied to model the artificial structure. Each cluster has its own priority and it makes possible to determine whether a cluster needs to be considered not. The proposed algorithm not only minimizes the effects of noise data but also interactively controls the level of modeling by using cluster-based approach.

The research and development of the unmanned vehicle is being carried out actively in domestic and foreign countries. The research is being carried out to provide various services so that the weakness of system such as conventional 2D-based navigation systems can be supplemented and the driving can be safer. This paper suggests the method that enables real-time video processing in more efficient way by realizing the location detection and signal recognition technique of traffic signals in video. In order to overcome the limit of conventional methods that have a difficulty in analyzing the signal as it is sensitive to brightness change, the proposed method realizes the program that grasps the depth data in front of the vehicle using video processing, analyzes the signal by detecting traffic signal and estimates color components of traffic signal in front and the distance between traffic signal and the vehicle.

In this paper, we propose a direct depth map acquisition method for the convergence camera array as well as the parallel camera array. The conventional methods perform image rectification to reduce complexity and improve accuarcy. However, image rectification may lead to unwanted consequences for the convergence camera array. Thus, the proposed method excludes image rectification and directly extracts depth values using the epipolar constraint. In order to acquire a more accurate depth map, occlusion detection and handling processes are added. Reasonable depth values are assigned to the obtained occlusion region by the distance and color differences from neighboring pixels. Experimental results show that the proposed method has fewer limitations than the conventional methods and generates more accurate depth maps stably.

Anthocyanins contained in Rhododendron schlippenbachii (royal azalea) are expressed in a variety of colors and affect flower colors. R. schlippenbachii flowers of seven colors (white, red group: pink, deep pink, red, purple group: light purple, purple, deep purple) were collected from the garden around KT&G building in the college of agriculture and life science. Seven types of anthocyanins [cyanidin 3-O-diglucoside, cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside-5-O-glucoside, cyanidin 3-O-galactoside, peonidin 3-O-arabinoside-5-O-glucoside, cyanidin 3-O-glucoside, cyanidin 3-O-(6"-O-malonyl) arabinoside, cyanidin 3-O-(6"-O-coumaroyl) glucoside] turned out to be from the cyanidin and peonidin series in R. schlippenbachii flowers. Also, seven types of flavonols [azaleatin 3-O-glucoside, azaleatin 3-O-arabinoside, azaleatin 3-O-rhamnoside, quercetin 3-O-galacatoside, quercetin 3-O-glucoside, quercetin 3-O-arabinoside, quercetin 3-O-rhamnoside] were identified in R. schlippenbachii flowers. Total anthocyanin amounts decreased in R. schlippenbachii flowers in the following order: 'deep pink' (8.07) > 'red' (6.37) > 'pink' (5.35) > 'deep purple' (0.78) > 'purple' (0.43) > 'light purple' ($0.22mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$ dry weight, DW) > 'white' (not detected). Total flavonol amounts decreased in the following order: 'pink' (97.78) > 'deep pink' (63.79) > 'deep purple' (61.98) > 'white' (57.58) > 'light purple' (47.06) > 'purple' (46.76) > 'red' ($7.60mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$ dry weight, DW). This study provided the quantitative and qualitative information for the variation of anthocyanin and flavonol compounds in R. schlippenbachii flowers. Furthermore, this information can contribute to the identification of anthocyanin and flavonol compounds in other Rhododendron flowers.

This paper proposes a shot change detection algorithm by using frame segmentation and the object changes among moving blocks. In order to detect the rapid moving changes of objects between two consecutive frames, the moving blocks on the diagonal are defined, and their histograms are calculated. When a block of the current frame is compared to the moving blocks of the next frame, the block histograms are used and the threshold of a shot change detection is automatically adjusted by Otsu's threshold method. The proposed algorithm was tested for the various types of color or gray videos such as films, dramas, animations, and video tapes in National Archives of Korea. The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm could enhance the detection rate when compared to the studied methods that use brightness, histogram, or segmentation.

This paper proposes an effective compression method to utilize the 3D integral image with large amount of data obtained by a lens array in various applications. The conventional compression methods for still images exhibit low performance in terms of coding efficiency and visual quality, since they cannot remove the correlation between elemental images. In the moving picture compression methods, 1D scanning techniques that produce a sequence of elemental images are not enough to remove the directional correlation between elemental images. The proposed method effectively sequences the elemental images from an integral image by the 2D referencing technique and compresses them using the multi-frame referencing of H.264/AVC. The proposed 2D referencing technique selects the optimal reference image according to vertical, horizontal, and diagonal correlation between elemental images. Experimental results show that compression with the sequence of elemental images presents better coding efficiency than that of still image compression. Moreover, the proposed 2D referencing technique is superior to the 1D scanning methods in terms of the objective performance and visual quality.

In this paper, we develop a pattern recognition algorithm applied to a humanoid robot which is exploited as a guide for visually handicapped persons to find a desired path to their destinations. Behavior primitives of a humanoid robot are defined, and Canny's edge detection algorithm is employed to extract the pattern and color of the paving blocks that especially devised for visually handicapped persons. Based on these, an efficient path finding algorithm is developed and implemented on a humanoid robot, running on an embedded linux operating system equipped with a video camera. The performance of our algorithm is experimentally examined in terms of the response time and the pattern recognition ratio. In order to validate our algorithm in various realistic environments, the experiments are repeatedly performed by changing the tilt of paving blocks and the brightness in surrounding area. The results show that our algorithm performs sufficiently well to be exploited as a path finding system for visually handicapped persons.

According to global trend, despite the overall scale of agricultural industry has been downsized, agriculture accommodating cutting-edge ICT technologies has been proliferated, and various timely-issued relevant researches have been on progress to deploy the future food cultivation. In this paper, we propose an effective nutrient management system with web-based monitoring with functionality of controlling temperature, humidity, pH (hydrogen ion), EC (Electric Conductivity), LED and cooling fan to maintain the hydroponic nurturing environment being optimal. In this paper, in order the arduino hardware and java software are employed to control the nurturing environment automatically in optimal fashion. In proposed system, due to the usage of WiFi router with the socket communication and DB-assisted Web server with proper interfaces, it allows to facilitate the management to keep monitoring and controling overall hydroponic nurturing environment. Since the proposed Web-based management system provides the superior reliability, the short nurturing period and the robustness to the pest by controlling LED emitting color rather than conventional system, so it can be applied and appropriate for in-house vegetable factory overcoming limitation of time and location.
