It is difficult to find a practical solution for the backward-motion control of a car-like mobile robot with n passive trailers. Unlike an omni-directional robot, a car-like mobile robot has nonholonomic constraints and limitations of the steering angle. For these reasons, the backward motion control problem of a car-like mobile robot with $n$ passive trailers is not trivial. In spite of difficulties, backing up a trailer system is useful for parking control. In this study, we proposed a mechanical alteration which is connecting $n$ passive trailers to the front bumper of a car to improve the backward motion control performance. Theoretical verification and simulations show that the backward-motion control of a general car with n passive trailers can be successfully carried out by using the proposed approach.

Extrusion of forward-gear and backward-rod by combined extrusion with controlling the extrusion velocity using a counter tool is studied. In the combined forward-backward extrusion with controlling extrusion velocity, only parts with short gear can be formed. To obtain longer gear parts, extrusion with reverse ram motion is carried out after the combined forward-backward extrusion process. In this method, combined forward-backward extrusion is carried out until excessive extrusion length is attained and then, the motion of the punch is stopped and the counter tool is moved in the inverse direction and returned to the position for obtaining the desired extrusion length. The experiment is carried out by using lead for billets as a model material. With reverse ram motion, longer gear teeth without under-filling defect can be formed than that by only combined extrusion with controlling extrusion velocity.

The trailer system offers efficiency of transportation capability. However, it is difficult to control the backward motion. It is an open loop unstable problem. To solve this problem, we are proposed the driver assistance system. Driver assistance system assists a driver to control the backward motion of trailer system as if forward motion. A driver only secure the rear view of last passive trailer, and select the control input to drive the last passive trailer. The driver assistance system converts the control input of the driver into velocity and steering angle of the vehicle using the inverse kinematics. It is possible by electronic control input devices and the rear view camera. Effectiveness of driving assistance system is verified by the simulation and the experiments.

H.264/AVC의 B 슬라이스의 부호화 효율 향상과 두 개의 움직임벡터를 탐색하는데 소요되는 계산량 감소를 위하여 양방향 대칭(Bi-directional Symmetric) 기법이 개발된 바 있다. 이 기법은, 전방향과 역방향 참조영상 각각에 대하여 움직임 벡터를 구하고 이 두 개를 각각 다 전송하는 종래의 양방향 예측기법과는 달리, 전방향 참조영상에 대해 움직임 벡터를 찾는 동시에 역방향 참조영상에 대한 역방향 움직임 벡터를 전방향 참조영상, 역방향 참조영상, 그리고 현재 영상간의 상대적 거리를 고려한 대칭(Symmetric) 구조로 동시에 계산하여 추정하는 방법이다. 이 기법에 따르면, 전방향 움직임 벡터가 정해지면, 역방향 움직임벡터는 이와 대칭적으로 계산하여 얻어지므로 움직임벡터 추정 복잡도를 반으로 줄이고, 전방향 움직임벡터만을 전송하도록 하여 부호화할 움직임벡터의 양도 줄일 수 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 항상 전방향 움직임 벡터를 기준으로 역방향 움직임 벡터를 계산하여 얻다 보니, 장면전환등의 경우 오히려 역방향 움직임벡터를 기준으로 전방향 움직임벡터를 추산하는 것이 더욱 효율적인 경우도 있다. 본 논문에서는 전방향 참조영상에 대한 움직임 벡터를 중심으로 역방향 움직임 예측벡터를 추정하는 방법을 일반화시켜, 역방향 움직임 벡터를 중심으로 전방향 움직임 벡터를 추산하여 사용하는 방법을 제안하고 아울러 기존 방법과 제안 방법을 율왜곡 관점에서 최적으로 선택하여 사용하는 방법을 제안한다.

In this paper, it is shown how a robot with n passive trailers can be controlled in backward direction. When driving backward direction, a kinematic model of the system is represented highly nonlinear equations. The problem is formulated as a trajectory following problem, rather than control of independent generalized coordinates. Also, the state and input saturation problems are formulated as a trajectory generation problem. The trajectory is traced by a rear hinge point of the last trailer, and reference trajectories include line segments, circular shapes and rectangular turns. Experimental verifications were carried out with the PSR-2(public service robot $2^{nd}$ version) with three passive trailers. Experimental result showed that the backward motion control can be successfully carried out using the proposed control scheme.

In this paper, we propose a novel motion field estimation algorithm for which a U-disparity map and forward-and-backward error removal are applied in a vehicular environment. Generally, a motion exists in an image obtained by a camera attached to a vehicle by vehicle movement; however, the obtained motion vector is inaccurate because of the surrounding environmental factors such as the illumination changes and vehicles shaking. It is, therefore, difficult to extract an accurate motion vector, especially on the road surface, due to the similarity of the adjacent-pixel values; therefore, the proposed algorithm first removes the road surface region in the obtained image by using a U-disparity map, and uses then the optical flow that represents the motion vector of the object in the remaining part of the image. The algorithm also uses a forward-backward error-removal technique to improve the motion-vector accuracy and a vehicle's movement is predicted through the application of the RANSAC (RANdom SAmple Consensus) to the previously obtained motion vectors, resulting in the generation of a motion field. Through experiment results, we show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is superior to that of an existing algorithm.

움직임 보상 외삽 기법은 움직임 보상 보간 기법에 비해서 과거의 프레임만 사용하기 때문에 성능은 다소 떨어지지만, 전송 중에 손상된 프레임의 복원 및 프레임율 증가 뿐 아니라 분산 동영상 부호화 시스템의 부가 정보 생성에도 활용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 움직임 보상 외삽 기법의 성능을 평가하고 순방향과 역방향 움직임 추정을 함께 이용한 효율적인 움직임 보상 외삽 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 순방향과 역방향 움직임 추정을 통해 두 개의 프레임을 생성하여 두 프레임의 화소값의 평균을 현재 프레임으로 한다. 모의 실험 결과 제안하는 기법이 기존의 기법에 비해서 블록 현상이 감소하고 우수한 PSNR 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 U-시차 지도(U-disparity map)와 정방향-역방향 에러 제거를 통하여 자동차 환경에서의 새로운 모션 필드 예측기법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 자동차에 장착된 카메라로 획득된 영상에서는 자동차의 움직임에 따라 모션 벡터가 발생하게 된다. 그러나 이러한 모션 벡터는 주변 환경에 영향을 받기 때문에 정확도가 떨어진다. 특히 도로면에서는 인접한 화소값이 유사하기 때문에 정확한 모션 벡터의 추출이 어렵다. 따라서 제안하는 기법에서는 U-시차 지도를 이용하여 도로면을 제거하고 나머지 부분에 대하여 옵티컬 플로우(optical flow)를 수행한다. 또한 모션 벡터의 정확도를 향상시키기 위해 정방향-역방향 에러 제거 방법을 활용한다. 최종적으로 획득한 모션 벡터에 RANSAC(RANdom SAmple Consensus)을 적용하여 차량의 움직임을 예측하고 모션 필드를 생성한다. 실험을 통해 제안하는 기법이 기존의 기법보다 성능이 우수한 것을 확인하였다.

Block-based interframe interpolation algorithms cause severe block effect because the algorithm interpolates the skipped frame by using block based motion vector. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an algorithm that reduces the block effect in the interpolated frames. First, we propose an algorithm that obtains backward motion vector by using forward motion vector received from the transmitter. In order to predict well covered and uncovered region, backward motion vector is needed as well as forward motion vector. Second, we propose the algorithm which segments the motion boundary blocks into regions and obtains the motion vector of each region from candidates that consist of the motion vectors of neighbor blocks. This algorithm makes it possible that the moving object and the background, in spite of being in the same block, have different motion vectors from each other so that the block effect can be reduced. According to the results of simulation, the proposed algorithm is superior to conventional algorithm in subjective quality a swell as in objective quality.

In order to analyze lateral control in the backward maneuver of a tractor -trailer combination , a kinematic vehicle model and a human operator model with time delay were utilized for the operator/vehicle system. The analysis was carried out using the frequency domain approach. The open-loop stability of the vehicle motion was analyzed through the transfer functions. The sensitivity of the stability of the vehicle motion. to a change in the steering angle, was also analyzed. A mathematical model of the closed -loop operator/vehicle system was then formulated. The closed -loop stability of the operator /vehicle system was then analyzed. The effect of the delay time on the system was also analyzed through computer simulation.
