With the recent trend of intelligence and automation of construction work, a double-blade road cutter is being developed that automatically enables cutting along the cutting line marked on the road using a vision system. The road cutter can recognize the cutting line through the camera and correct the driving route in real-time, and it detects the load of the cutting blade in real-time to control the driving speed in case of overload to protect workers and cutting blades. In this study, a vision system mounted on a double-blade road cutter was developed. A cutting route recognition technology was developed to stably recognize cutting lines displayed on non-uniform road surfaces, and performance was verified in similar environments. In addition, a vision sensor protection module was developed to prevent foreign substances (dust, water, etc.) generated during cutting from being attached to the camera.

Logistics processing companies in Korea are mostly handling various types of products in and out. In order to process various types of products, the sorting business is performed by hand. In this paper, we propose a real-time QR code detection method using a vision sensor to achieve high efficiency with a small amount of manpower. The limiting system uses a vision sensor to process QR code recognition of logistics in real time. The proposed system can quickly identify a large number of QR codes through multiple recognition rather than QR code recognition, which is a single part of logistics. In the study, the system was actually implemented and verified, and multiple QR recognition was confirmed in the image through the vision center.

The integrated sensor module of vehicle combines the functions of rain sensor, auto defog sensor, and sun angle sensor into a single module. These functions originally were applied to work separatively. This integrated sensor module should meet the each performance which appears from the individual modules up to the same level or higher. Therefore, it is important to verify the stability and the accuracy considering the characteristics of the integrated sensor module according to various situations. For the verification, we need to use the actual data of integrated sensor module measured but, a lot of time and money is needed to collect data measured under various circumstances when operating. Thus, through the development of this simulator for the control of the integrated sensor module, we can use it effectively for the initial verification of integrated sensor module by implementing the various situations. In this paper, the simulator for controlling the integrated sensor module which combines vision-based rain sensor, auto defog sensor, auto light sensor, and sun angle sensor has been developed.

This paper proposes an algorithm for navigation of an autonomous mobile robot with vision sensor. For obstacle avoidance, we used a curvature trajectory method. Using this method, translational and rotational speeds are controlled independently and the mobile robot traces a smooth curvature trajectory that consists of circle trajectories to a target point. While trying to avoid obstacles, the robot fan be goal-directed using curvature trajectory.

Recently, many unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) studies have focused on small UAVs, because they are cost effective and suitable in dangerous indoor environments where human entry is limited. Map building through distance measurement is a key technology for the autonomous flight of small UAVs. In many researches for unmanned systems, distance could be measured by using laser range finders or stereo vision sensors. Even though a laser range finder provides accurate distance measurements, it has a disadvantage of high cost. Calculating the distance using a stereo vision sensor is straightforward. However, the sensor is large and heavy, which is not suitable for small UAVs with limited payload. This paper suggests a low-cost distance measurement system using a laser pointer and a monocular vision sensor. A method to measure distance using the suggested system is explained and some experiments on map building are conducted with these distance measurements. The experimental results are compared to the actual data and the reliability of the suggested system is verified.

A new intelligent stereo vision sensor system was studied for the motion and depth control of unmanned vehicles. A new bottom-up saliency map model for the human-like active stereo vision system based on biological visual process was developed to select a target object. If the left and right cameras successfully find the same target object, the implemented active vision system with two cameras focuses on a landmark and can detect the depth and the direction information. By using this information, the unmanned vehicle can approach to the target autonomously. A number of tests for the proposed bottom-up saliency map were performed, and their results were presented.

There have been continuous efforts for automation of joint tracking system. This automation process is mainly used to do in root pass of gas metal arc welding in the field of heavy industry and shipbuilding etc. For automation, it is important using of vision sensor. Welding robot with vision sensor is used for weld seam tracking on welding fabrication. Recently, it is used to on post-weld inspection for weld quality evaluation. For real time seam tracking, it is very important role in vision process technique. Vision process is included in filtering and thinning, segmentation processing, feature extraction and recognition. In this paper, it has shown performance comparison results of seam tracking for real time root pass on gas metal arc welding. It can be concluded better segment splitting method than iterative averaging technique in the performance results of seam tracking.

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. In this paper, developed vision processing techniques are detailed, and their application in welding fabrication is covered. The software for joint tracking system is finally proposed.

SCC (Smart Cruise Control) and AEBS (Autonomous Emergency Braking System) are using various types of sensors data, so it is important to consider about sensor data reliability. In this paper, data from radar and vision sensor is fused by applying a Bayesian sensor fusion technique to improve the reliability of sensors data. Then, it presents a sensor fusion verification tool developed to monitor acquired sensors data and to verify sensor fusion results, efficiently. A parallel computing method was applied to reduce verification time and a series of simulation results of this method are discussed in detail.
