Robot manipulator is one of the important features in service robot area. Until now, there has been a lot of research on robot" manipulator that can imitate the functions of a human being by recognizing and grasping objects. In this paper, we present a robot arm based on the object recognition vision system. We have implemented closed-loop control that use the feedback from visual information, and used a sonar sensor to improve the accuracy. We have placed the web-camera on the top of the hand to recognize objects. We also present some vision-based manipulation issues and our system features.

In this paper, we present a new approach to visual feedback control using image-based visual servoing with stereo vision. In order to control the position and orientation of a robot with respect to an object, a new technique is proposed using binocular stereo vision. The stereo vision enables us to calculate an exact image Jacobian not only around a desired location but also at other locations. The suggested technique can guide a robot manipulator to the desired location without providing a priori knowledge such as the relative distance to the desired location or the model of an object even when the initial positioning error is large. This paper describes a model of stereo vision and how to generate feedback commands. The performance of the proposed visual servoing system is illustrated by experimental results and compared with conventional control methods for an assembly robot.

This paper proposes object detection algorithm using laser scanner and vision system for the path planning of autonomous mobile agents. As the scanner-based method can observe the obstacles in only two dimensions, it is hard to detect the shape and the number of obstacles. On the other hand, vision-based method is sensitive to the environment and has its difficulty in the accurate distance measurement. Thus, we combine these two methods based on K-means algorithm such that the obstacle avoidance and optimal path planning of autonomous mobile agents can be achieved.

This paper describes a vision-based line recognition and control of driving direction for an AGV(autonomous guided vehicle). As navigation guide, black stripe attached on the corridor is used. Binary image of guide stripe captured by a CCD camera is used. For detect the guideline quickly and extractly, we use for variable thresholding algorithm. this low-cost line-tracking system is efficiently using pc-based real time vision processing. steering control is studied through controller with guide-line angle error. This method is tested via a typical agv with a single camera in laboratory environment.

In this paper, we propose a vision based passenger monitoring system for passenger's safety in railway station. Since 2005, Korea Railroad Research Institute (KRRI) has developed a vision based monitoring system, funded by Korean government, for passenger's safety in railway station. The proposed system uses various types of sensors, such as, stereo camera, thermal-camera and infrared sensor, in order to detects danger situations in platform area. Especially, detection process of the system exploits the stereo vision algorithm to improve detection accuracy. The paper describes the overall system configuration and proposed detection algorithm, and then verifies the system performance with extensive experimental results in a real station environment.

According to the KT telecommunication statistics, people stayed inside their houses on an average of 11.9 hours a day. As well as, according to NSC statistics in the united states, people regardless of age are injured for a variety of reasons in their houses. For purposes of this research, we have investigated an abnormal event detection algorithm to classify infrequently occurring behaviors as accidents, health emergencies, etc. in their daily lives. We propose a fusion method that combines three classification algorithms with vision pattern, audio pattern, and activity pattern to detect unusual user events. The vision pattern algorithm identifies people and objects based on video data collected through home CCTV. The audio and activity pattern algorithms classify user audio and activity behaviors using the data collected from built-in sensors on their smartphones in their houses. We evaluated the proposed individual pattern algorithm and fusion method based on multiple scenarios.

This paper presents a novel collision avoidance technique for mobile robots based on omni-directional vision simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). This method estimates the avoidance path and speed of a robot from the location of an obstacle, which can be detected using the Lucas-Kanade Optical Flow in images obtained through fish-eye cameras mounted on the robots. The conventional methods suggest avoidance paths by constructing an arbitrary force field around the obstacle found in the complete map obtained through the SLAM. Robots can also avoid obstacles by using the speed command based on the robot modeling and curved movement path of the robot. The recent research has been improved by optimizing the algorithm for the actual robot. However, research related to a robot using omni-directional vision SLAM to acquire around information at once has been comparatively less studied. The robot with the proposed algorithm avoids obstacles according to the estimated avoidance path based on the map obtained through an omni-directional vision SLAM using a fisheye image, and returns to the original path. In particular, it avoids the obstacles with various speed and direction using acceleration components based on motion information obtained by analyzing around the obstacles. The experimental results confirm the reliability of an avoidance algorithm through comparison between position obtained by the proposed algorithm and the real position collected while avoiding the obstacles.

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.

Quantization error, generated by the quantization process of an image, is inherent in computer vision. Because, especially in stereo vision, the quantization error in a 2-D image results in position errors in the reconstructed 3-D scene, it is necessary to analyze it mathematically. In this paper, the analysis of the probability density function (pdf) of quantization error for a line-based stereo matching scheme is presented. We show that the theoretical pdf of quantization error in the reconstructed 3-D position information has more general form than the conventional analysis for pixel-based stereo matching schemes. Computer simulation is observed to surpport the theoretical distribution.
