Image-based survey can be performed for a floating structure using the hydraulic model tests and empirical methods. I extracted the frame images from a digital camcoder movies and found the corner points for image matching. In the future, we will try the movie acquisition in the improved lab environment for a precise result.

Determining the absolute location of a mobile robot is essential in the navigation of a mobile robot. In this paper, a method to determine the position of a mobile robot through the visual image of a landrnark using neural networks is proposed. In determining the position of a mobile robot on the world coordinate, there is a position error because of uncertainty in pixels, incorrect camera calibration and lens distortion. To reduce the errors, a method using a BPNN(Back Propagation Neural Network) is proposed. The experimental results are presented to illustrate the superiority of the proposed method when comparing with the conventional methods.

A non-contact type measurement system is specially devised to measure the width of a piston ring groove in the grinding process. This system comprises a line camera with an imaging lens, collimated white light source, and a one axis translation stage. When the measurement system movesalong the diagonal direction of the cylinder, the line camera captures an image. By analyzing such images, the width of the piston ring groove can be determined. The experimental results prove that the proposed system is useful, especially as a monitoring system in grinding piston ring grooves on cylinders with accuracy of several micrometers in an area of dozens of millimeters.

As an electron scanning microscopes has traditionally required a considerably large room equipped with several service and pipe lines due to its inherent size. As an alternative, a small sized SEM, simply called a mini-SEM, is introduced even if the performance in terms of magnification and resolution is a little inferior to a classical thermal SEM. However, the size and fabrication cost is dramatically reduced, dedicating to opening a new market. The optical system in the mini-SEM is redesigned and specimen stage is quitely reduced and vertical axis is excluded. The design tools and calibration techniques to develope the mini-SEM are introduced and its performance is verified through numerical analysis experiments.

It is possible to obtain an omnidirectional stereo image via a single camera by using a catadioptric approach with a convex mirror and concave lens. In order to measure three-dimensional distance using the imaging system, the optical parameters of the system are required. In this paper, a calibration procedure to extract the parameters of the imaging system is described. Based on the parameters, experiments are carried out to verify the performance of the three-dimensional distance measurement of a single camera omnidirectional stereo imaging system.

Over the last few years computer based image processing has become more prominent in forensic science. The image quality from many CCTV systems is too poor for facial recognition. but there are other human characteristics which allow us to recognize individuals from a distance. one of these parameters is a human's height. In this paper, we propose useful height measurement method by auto Position, size adjustment which uses image superimposition and edge detection regardless of lens distortion and not uses conventional photogrammetry calibration methods.

During the navigation of mobile robot, one of the essential task is to determination the absolute location of mobile robot. In this paper, we proposed a method to determine the position of the camera from a landmark through the visual image of a quadrangle typed landmark using neural network. In determining the position of the camera on the world coordinate, there is difference between real value and calculated value because of uncertainty in pixels, incorrect camera calibration and lens distortion etc. This paper describes the solution of the above problem using BPN(Back Propagation Network). The experimental results show the superiority of the proposed method in comparison to conventional method in the performance of determining camera position.

During the navigation of mobile robot, one of the essential task if to determine the absolute position of mobile robot. In this paper, a method to determine the position of the camera using a vanishing point and neural networks without landmark if proposed. In determining the position of the camera on the world coordinate, there are differences between the real value and the calculated value because of uncertainty in pixels, incorrect camera calibration and lens distortion etc. This paper describes the solution of the above problem using BPNN(Back Propagation Neural Network) and experimental results show the capability to adapt for a mobile robot.

In this paper, we address an active ranging system based on laser structured light image for mobile robot application. Since the burdensome correspondence problem is avoidable, the structured light image processing has efficient computation in comparison with the conventional stereo image processing. By using a cylindrical lens in the laser generation, it is possible to convert a point laser into a stripe laser without motorized scan in the proposed system. In order to achieve robustness against environmental illumination noise, we propose an efficient integro-differential image processing algorithm. The proposed system has embedded image processing module and transmits distance data to reduce the computational burden in main control system.

본 논문에서는 정밀 측정 장비인 VMS(Video Measuring System)에서 줌을 서보 모터(servo motor)로 제어하는 자동화된 줌 렌즈 보정에 대하여 연구하였다. 이전의 자동화된 줌 렌즈의 연구들은 줌, 초점과 조리개 3 가지의 렌즈 설정에 대한 모든 카메라 파라미터들에 대하여 보정하였지만, VMS 의 자동화된 줌 렌즈의 보정은 줌의 렌즈 설정에 대해서만 보정한다. 줌 렌즈 설정에 의해 보정 되는 파라미터들은 줌에 따라 변화하는 이미지 중심과 픽셀 크기이다. 카메라의 외부 파라미터들을 제외한 이유는 VMS에서는 카메라가 움직이고 않고, 스테이지가 움직이면서 그에 따른 좌표 값을 주기 때문에 카메라의 이동과 회전에 대하여 보정할 필요가 없다. 줌을 조정하는 줌 단계가 많기 때문에 모든 줌 단계를 보정하기 위해서는 많은 시간과 노력이 든다. 본 논문에서는 보정 파라미터들을 최소 단계의 줌 렌즈 설정에 대하여 계산하고 계산되지 않은 영역들을 보간법으로 빠르고 효과적인 줌 렌즈 보정을 할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다.
