A next generation video based car navigation is researched to supplement the drawbacks of existed 2D based navigation and to provide the various services for safety driving. The components of this navigation system could be a load object database, identification module for load lines, and crossroad identification module, etc. In this paper, we proposed the traffic lights and road sign recognition method which can be effectively exploited for crossroad recognition in video-based car navigation systems. The method uses object color information and other spatial features in the video image. The results show average 90% recognition rate from 30m to 60m distance for traffic lights and 97% at 40-90m distance for load sign. The algorithm also achieves 46msec/frame processing time which also indicates the appropriateness of the algorithm in real-time processing.

In this study, we propose a joint source/channel rate control algorithm for video encoder targeting packet erasure channel. Based on the buffer constraints of video communication systems, encoding rate constraint is presented. After defining source distortion models for coded and skipped video frames and a channel distortion model for packet errors and their propagation, an average distortion model of received video is proposed for a given encoding window. Finally, we define an optimization problem to minimize the average distortion for given channel rates and packet loss rates by controlling spatio-temporal parameters of source video and FEC block sizes. Then, we propose a window-based algorithm to solve the problem in real-time.

In this letter, we propose a novel approach to detecting and tracking apartment buildings for the development of a video-based navigation system that provides augmented reality representation of guidance information on live video sequences. For this, we propose a building detector and tracker. The detector is based on the AdaBoost classifier followed by hierarchical clustering. The classifier uses modified Haar-like features as the primitives. The tracker is a motion-adjusted tracker based on pyramid implementation of the Lukas-Kanade tracker, which periodically confirms and consistently adjusts the tracking region. Experiments show that the proposed approach yields robust and reliable results and is far superior to conventional approaches.

Understanding lane markings in a live video captured from a moving vehicle is essential to build services for intelligent vehicles such as LDWS(Lane Departure Warning Systems), unmanned vehicles, video-based car navigation systems. In this paper, we present a novel approach to recognize the color of lane markings and the lane number that he/she is driving on. More specifically, we present a background-color removal approach to understand the color of lane markings for various illumination conditions, such as backlight, sunset, and so on. In addition, we present a probabilistic network approach to decide the lane number. According to our experimental results, the proposed idea shows promising results to detect lane number in a various illumination conditions and road environments.

A wide distribution of CCTV cameras in many public areas can be used not only for video surveillance systems but also for preserving fire occurrence. A proposed approach is based on visual information through a static camera. Video sequences are analyzed to find fire candidates and then spatial analyses procedure for detected fire-like color foreground is carried out. If spatial and temporal variances changes rapidly and close to fire motion, fire candidate is considered as fire.

The article discusses the dead reckoning of the traveled path based on the analysis of the video data stream coming from the optoelectronic surveillance devices; the use of relief data makes it possible to partially compensate for the shortcomings of the first method. Using the overlap of the photo-video data stream, the terrain is restored. Comparison with a digital terrain model allows the location of the aircraft to be determined; the use of digital images of the terrain also allows you to determine the coordinates of the location and orientation by comparing the current view information. This method provides high accuracy in determining the absolute coordinates even in the absence of relief. It also allows you to find the absolute position of the camera, even when its approximate coordinates are not known at all.

In this paper, we propose the method of fire detection. A wide distribution of CCTV cameras (Closed Circuit Television) in many public areas can be used not only for video surveillance systems but also for detecting fire occurrence. A proposed approach is based on visual information through a static camera. Video sequences are analyzed to find fire candidates and then spatial analyses procedure for detected fire-like color foreground is carried out. From the simulation results, our method showed the best performance when spatial and temporal fire candidates changes rapidly and close to fire motion.

Recently, the diverse needs of the drivers for in-vehicle infotainment systems are increasing rapidly. As a result, the infotainment systems are equipped with more convenient and human-friendly high-tech features. In this paper, we designed and implemented in-vehicle multimedia infotainment system based on embedded system that was applied various multimedia to in-vehicles. The proposed system can support independent display on each screen for the multi-channel multimedia source based on one processor(1 CPU). Therefore, our system can be reduced costs compared to other systems. This system not only displays the video and audio data in storage devices but also displays CAM, T-DMB, and DVB-T multimedia contents which are supplied in real-time services. Also, our system could multi-screen displays multimedia data in smart phone using Wi-Fi. We expect that in-vehicle infotainment systems like AVN(Audio video navigation) and RSE(Rear Seat Entertainment) could be used in various applications and reduced costs.

A robust and reliable path recognition system is one necessary component for the autonomous navigation of a mobile robot to help determining its current position in its navigation map. This paper describes a computer visual path-recognition system using on-board video camera as vision-based driving assistance for an autonomous navigation mobile robot. The common problem for a visual system is that its reliability was often influenced by different lighting conditions. Here, two different image processing methods for the path detection were developed to reduce the effect of the luminance: one is based on the RGB color model and features of the path, another is based on the HSV color model in the absence of luminance.

Multimedia systems present information by various media, for example, video, sound, music, animation, movie, etc., in addition to the text which has long been used for conveying the information. But using several media may cause users' confusion and poorly designed user interface often aggravate the situation. Hypermedia systems allow the retrieval and representation of multimedia information using navigation and browsing mechanisms. Typically, there are two major navigation problems in a hypermedia compared to the ordinary user interface: disorientation and cognitive overload. In this study, the multimedia system was studied from the viewpoint of usability. Practical usability evaluation needs cost-effective, low-skill, and low- investment methods. The 'discount usability engineering' method, one of these methods, is based on the use of the following techniques: scenarios, simplified thinking aloud, and heuristic evaluation. The discount usability engineering method was applied to the usability evaluation of multimedia CD-ROM title.
