We propose a visible light road-to-vehicle communication system at intersection as one of ITS technique. In this system, the communication between vehicle and a LED traffic light is approached using LED traffic light as a transmitter, and on-vehicle high-speed camera as a receiver. The LEDs in the transmitter are emitted in 500Hz and those emitting LEDs are captured by a high-speed camera for making communication. Here, the luminance value of each LED in the transmitter should be found for consecutive frames to achieve effective communication. For this purpose, first the transmitter should be identified, then it should be tracked for consecutive frames while the vehicle is moving, by processing the images from the high-speed camera. In our previous work, the transmitter was identified by getting the subtraction of two consecutive frames. In this paper, we mainly introduce an algorithm to track the identified transmitter in consecutive frames. Experimental results using appropriate images showed the effectiveness of the proposal.

An effective algorithm for implementation of which detects moving object from image sequences. predicts the direction of it. and drives the camera in real time is proposed. In static camera, for robust motion detection from a dynamic background scene, the proposed algorithm performs statistical modeling of moving objects and background, and trains the statistical modeling of moving objects and background, and trains the statistical feature of background with the initial parts of sequence which have no moving objects. Active camera moving objects are segmented by following procedure, an improved order adaptive lattice structured linear predictor is used. The proposed algorithm shows robust object tracking results in the environment of static or active camera. It can be used for the unmanned surveillance system, traffic monitoring system, and autonomous vehicle.

In this paper, we propose a system for processing and analyzing drone image information which can be applied variously in disasters-security situation. The proposed system stores the images acquired from the drones in the server, and performs image processing and analysis according to various scenarios. According to each mission, deep-learning method is used to construct an image analysis system in the images acquired by the drone. Experiments confirm that it can be applied to traffic volume measurement, suspect and vehicle tracking, survivor identification and maritime missions.

Semi-active laser missile systems with high accuracy are necessary to asymmetric threats, such as UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). They are usually used to attack stationary or slow moving targets, therefore we should study on the laser designator which can detect and track fast moving targets in order to deal with UAV. In this study, design specifications are came up through performance analysis of existing laser designators, and laser designation method for fast moving target is developed. The detection and tracking performance of developed laser designator are verified through inside/outside tests on ground/aerial stationary/moving targets. Through this study, we obtain laser designator techniques that could be applied to actual semi-active laser missile systems.

This paper proposes a multiple moving objects tracking system which is adaptable itself to circumstances. Snake model is sensitive to the start position value because it does not accurately express contours of objects in complex image. It can be improved as the proposed system gets background images by using difference images, segments objects using neighborhood pixels and assesses the position feature values acquired on the start position value to deformable Snake model. And also the system can simplify complex background images and reduce search regions by the constituent points of a Snake laid in Positions of object. It is showed that the proposed system can be appBied to multiple moving vehicle racking systems by the experimental results of 30fps AVI file.

This paper proposes a method to recognize and track drivable lane areas to assist the driver. The main topic is designing a deep-based network that predicts drivable road areas using computer vision and deep learning technology based on images acquired in real time through a camera installed in the center of the windshield inside the vehicle. This study aims to develop a new model trained with data directly obtained from cameras using the YOLO algorithm. It is expected to play a role in assisting the driver's driving by visualizing the exact location of the vehicle on the actual road consistent with the actual image and displaying and tracking the drivable lane area. As a result of the experiment, it was possible to track the drivable road area in most cases, but in bad weather such as heavy rain at night, there were cases where lanes were not accurately recognized, so improvement in model performance is needed to solve this problem.

As increase awareness of intelligent vehicle systems, many kinds of lane detection algorithm have been proposed. General boundary extraction method can bring good result in detection of lane on the road. But a shadow on the road, or other boundaries, such as horizontal lines can be detected. The method using morphological operations was used to extract information about Lane. By applying HSV color model for color information of lane, the candidate of the lane can be extracted. In this paper, the lane detection region was set by Hough transformation using the candidate of the lane. By extracting lane markings on the lane detection region, lane detection method can bring good result.

A number of researches on vision-based traffic monitoring system have been carried out. Most of traffic monitoring schemes belong to one of two categories: analyzing of entire traffic scene and examining of local region. However, the proposed methods suffer from severe performance deterioration when applied in different operating conditions because of the loss of robustness. This paper is aimed at surveying various methods proposed and analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of these methods. Also we propose and investigate appropriate approaches to solve the problems in specific applications.

In the real world, there are both dynamic objects and static objects, but an autonomous vehicle or mobile robot cannot distinguish between them, even though a human can distinguish them easily. It is important to distinguish static objects from dynamic objects clearly to perform autonomous driving successfully and stably for an autonomous vehicle or mobile robot. To do this, various sensor systems can be used, like cameras and LiDAR. Stereo camera images are used often for autonomous driving. The stereo camera images can be used in object recognition areas like object segmentation, classification, and tracking, as well as navigation areas like 3D world reconstruction. This study suggests a method to distinguish static/dynamic objects using stereo vision for an online autonomous vehicle and mobile robot. The method was applied to a 3D world map reconstructed from stereo vision for navigation and had 99.81% accuracy.

This paper is proposed to algorithm for measuring traffic information automatically, for example, volume count, speed and occupancy rate, from CCTV camera images installed on highway, add to function of image detectors which can be collected the traffic information. Recently the method of traffic informations are counted in lane one by one, but this manner is occurred critical errors by occlusion frequently in case of passing larger vehicles(bus, truck etc.) and is impossible to measure in the 8 lanes of highway. In this paper, installed the detection area include with all lanes, traffic informations are collected using tracking algorithm with passing vehicles individually in this detection area, thus possible to detect all of 8 lanes. The experiment have been conducted two different real road scenes for 20 minutes. For the experiments, the images are provided with CCTV camera which was installed at Kiheung Interchange upstream of Kyongbu highway, and video recording images at Chungkye Tunnel. For image processing, images captured by frame-grabber board 30 frames per second, $640{\times}480$ pixels resolution and 256 gray-levels to reduce the total amount of data to be interpreted.
