In the machine vision inspection equipment, diameter measurement is important process in inspection of cylindrical object. However, machine vision inspection equipment requires complex algorithm processing such as camera distortion correction and perspective distortion correction, and the increase in processing time and cost required for precise diameter measurement. In this paper, we proposed the algorithm for diameter measurement of cylindrical object using the laser displacement sensor. In order to fit circle for given four input outer points, grid search algorithms using root-mean-square error and mean-absolute error are applied and compared. To solve the limitations of the grid search algorithm, we finally apply the singular-value-decomposition based circle fitting algorithm. In order to compare the performance of the algorithms, we generated the pseudo data of the outer points of the cylindrical object and applied each algorithm. As a result of the experiment, the grid search using root-mean-square error confirmed stable measurement results, but it was confirmed that real-time processing was difficult as the execution time was 10.8059 second. The execution time of mean-absolute error algorithm was greatly improved as 0.3639 second, but there was no weight according to the distance, so the result of algorithm is abnormal. On the other hand, the singular-value-decomposition method was not affected by the grid and could not only obtain precise detection results, but also confirmed a very good execution time of 0.6 millisecond.

Welding fabrication invariantly involves three district sequential steps: preparation, actual process execution and post-weld inspection. One of the major problems in automating these steps and developing autonomous welding system is the lack of proper sensing strategies. Conventionally, machine vision is used in robotic arc welding only for the correction of pre-taught welding paths in single pass. However, in this paper, multipass tracking more than single pass tracking is performed by conventional seam tracking algorithm and developed one. And tracking performances of two algorithm are compared in multipass tracking. As the result, tracking performance in multi-pass welding shows superior conventional seam tracking algorithm to developed one.

This paper proposes a global mapping algorithm for multiple robots from an omnidirectional-vision simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) approach based on an object extraction method using Lucas-Kanade optical flow motion detection and images obtained through fisheye lenses mounted on robots. The multi-robot mapping algorithm draws a global map by using map data obtained from all of the individual robots. Global mapping takes a long time to process because it exchanges map data from individual robots while searching all areas. An omnidirectional image sensor has many advantages for object detection and mapping because it can measure all information around a robot simultaneously. The process calculations of the correction algorithm are improved over existing methods by correcting only the object's feature points. The proposed algorithm has two steps: first, a local map is created based on an omnidirectional-vision SLAM approach for individual robots. Second, a global map is generated by merging individual maps from multiple robots. The reliability of the proposed mapping algorithm is verified through a comparison of maps based on the proposed algorithm and real maps.

A linear laser-vision sensor called ‘Perception TriCam Contour' is mounted on an industrial robot and often used for various application of the robot such as the position correction and the inspection of a part. In this paper, a sensor center position calibration is presented for the most accurate use of the robot-Perceptron system. The obtained algorithm is suitable for on-site calibration in an industrial application environment. The calibration algorithm requires the joint sensor readings, and the Perceptron sensor measurements on a specially devised jig which is essential for this calibration process. The algorithm is implemented on the Hyundai 7602 AP robot, and Perceptron's measurement accuracy is increased up to less than 1.4mm.

In this paper, a position correction system of industrial robot for door-chassis assembly tast is developed in connection with the position correction algorithm shown in Part I. Tow notches and a hole of auto chassis are selected as the reference measure points and a vision based error detection algorithm is devised to measure in accuracy of less than 0.07mm. And also, the transformation between base and tool coordinates of the robot is shown to send the suitable correction quantities caaording to robot's option. The obtained algorithms were satisfactorily implemented for a real door-chassis model such that the system could accomplish visually acceptable door-chassis assembly task.

This paper presents the measurement and correction method of PCB alignment errors for PCB screen printer. Electronic equipment is getting smaller and yet must satisfy high performance standard. Therefore, there is a great demand for PCB with high density. However conventional PCB screen printer doesn't have enough accuracy to accommodate the demand fur high-resolution circuit pattern and high-density mounting capacity of electronic chips. It is because the alignment errors of PCB occur when it is loaded to the screen printer. Therefore, this study focuses on the development of the system which is able to measure and correct alignment errors with high-accuracy. An automatic optical inspection part measures the PCB alignment errors using machine vision, and the high-accuracy 3-axis stage makes correction for these errors. This system used two CCD cameras to get images of two fiducial marks of PCB. The geometrical relationship between PCB, cameras, and xy$\theta$ stage is derived, and analytical equations for alignment errors are also obtained. The unknown parameters including camera declining angles and etc. can be obtained by initialization process. Finally, the proposed algorithm is verified by experiments by using test bench.

최근 컴퓨터 처리 속도의 향상과 영상 처리 기술의 발달로 인해 카메라에서 획득하는 정보를 기존의 GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System), 추측 항법 기반의 측위 기술과 결합하여 안정적인 위치를 결정하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 기존 연구에서는 단안 카메라를 이용한 연구가 주로 수행되었으나 이 경우 관심 객체의 절대좌표가 구축이 되어 있어야 한다는 한계점이 있다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 본 연구에서는 스테레오 영상으로부터 삼각측량법을 적용하여 카메라와 관심 객체간 거리를 추정하는 비전 기반 측위 보조 알고리즘을 개발하고 성능 분석을 수행하였다. 또한, 추정된 거리와 카메라 영상 획득 간격을 이용해 상대적인 속도를 계산하고 이를 기존에 개발된 GNSS/이동체 내부 센서 기반 측위 알고리즘과 결합하여 통합 측위 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 실제 주행 자료를 기반으로 통합측위 알고리즘에 대한 성능을 분석한 결과 기존에 개발된 GNSS/이동체 내부 센서 기반 측위 알고리즘에 비해 속도 정보를 항법해 보정에 활용하였을 때 약 4%의 미미한 위치 정확도 향상 효과를 확인하였다. 이는 영상으로부터 추정된 속도 정보의 정밀도가 낮고, 터널 등을 지날 때는 영상으로부터 적절한 정보를 추출할 수 없다는 한계가 있어 이를 보완한 추가 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.

렌즈 왜곡현상은 비전 시스템에 있어 필연적인 현상이며 가격과 시스템의 크기를 줄이기 위한 렌즈의 선택으로 왜곡현상은 점점 더 심해지고 있다. 이와 같은 추세로 왜곡보정의 필요성은 중대한 문제가 되고 있지만 기존의 카메라 모델을 이용한 왜곡보정 방식은 복잡하고 많은 연산이 필요한 문제점이 있다. 비전 검사에서 디지털 이미지의 효과적인 왜곡 보정은 물체 탐지 및 인식의 전제 조건이다. 복잡한 모델링, 대규모 계산과 한계 정보 손실 같은 전통적인 왜곡 보정 알고리즘의 결점을 극복하기위해 본 논문에서는 사진측량적 기법을 보정 기법으로 이용하였다. 이 방법은 표준 격자 배열의 이미지를 이용하여 왜곡 이미지를 보정하는 방법으로, 제안하는 방법을 이용하여 ALC 블럭의 검사 시스템에 실험한 결과 약 4ms의 처리시간을 단축하였으며, 사람의 육안에 의한 검사보다 검사의 에러율이 2.3% 줄어들었다.

Recent increasing demand on the indoor localization requires more advanced and hybrid technology. This paper proposes an application of the hybrid indoor localization method based on a position-coded pattern that can be used with other existing indoor localization techniques such as vision, beacon, or landmark technique. To reduce the pattern-recognition error rate, the error detection and correction algorithm was applied based on Hamming code. The indoor localization experiments based on the proposed algorithm were performed by using a QCIF-grade CMOS sensor and a position-coded pattern with an area of $1.7{\times}1.7mm^2$. The experiments have shown that the position recognition error ratio was less than 0.9 % with 0.4 mm localization accuracy. The results suggest that the proposed method could be feasibly applied for the localization of the indoor mobile service robots.
