A CCD-camera, which is structured with vision system, was used to realize automatic seam-tracking system and 3-D information which is needed to generate torch path, was obtained by using laser-slip beam. To extract laser strip and obtain welding-specific point, Adaptive Hough-transformation was used. Although the basic Hough transformation takes too much time to process image on line, it has a tendency to be robust to the noises as like spatter. For that reson, it was complemented with Adaptive Hough transformation to have an on-line processing ability for scanning a welding-specific point. the dead zone,where the sensing of weld line is impossible, is eliminated by rotating the camera with its rotating axis centered at welding torch. The camera angle is controlled so as to get the minimum image data for the sensing of weld line, hence the image processing time is reduced. The fuzzy controller is adapted to control the camera angle.

In this study, a visual sensor system for weld seam tracking the I-butt weld joints in GMA welding was constructed. The sensor system consists of a CCD camera, a diode laser with a cylindrical lens and a band-pass-filter to overcome the degrading of image due to spatters and arc light. In order to obtain the enhanced image, quantitative relationship between laser intensity and iris number was investigated. Throughout the repeated experiments, the shutter speed was set at 1-milisecond for minimizing the effect of spatters on the image, and therefore most of the spatter trace in the image have been found to be reduced. Region of interest was defined from the entire image and gray level of searched laser line was compared to that of weld line. The differences between these gray levels lead to spot the position of weld joint using central difference method. The results showed that, as long as weld line was within $^\pm$15$^\circ$from the longitudinal straight fine, the system constructed in this study could track the weld line successful1y. Since the processing time reduced to 0.05 sec, it is expected that the developed method could be adopted to high speed welding such as laser welding.

In this study, a visual sensor system for weld seam tracking the I-butt weld joints in GMA welding was constructed. The sensor system consists of a CCD camera, a diode laser with a cylindrical lens and a band-pass-filter to overcome the degrading of image due to spatters and arc light. In order to obtain the enhanced image, quantitative relationship between laser intensity and iris opening was investigated. Throughout the repeated experiments, the shutter speed was set at 1/1000 second for minimizing the effect of spatters on the image, and therefore the image without the spatter traces could be obtained. Region of interest was defined from the entire image and gray level of the searched laser stripe was compared to that of weld line. The differences between these gray levels lead to spot the position of weld joint using central difference method. The results showed that, as long as weld line is within $\pm15^{o}$ from the longitudinal straight line, the system constructed in this study could track the weld line successfully. Since the processing time is no longer than 0.05 sec, it is expected that the developed method could be adopted to high speed welding such as laser welding.

We experimented on AGV driving test with color CCD camera which is setup on it. This paper can be divided into two parts. One is image processing part to measure the condition of the guideline and AGV. The other is part that obtains the reference steering angle through using the image processing parts. First, 2 dimension image information derived from vision sensor is interpreted to the 3 dimension information by the angle and position of the CCD camera. Through these processes, AGV knows the driving conditions of AGV. After then using of those information, AGV calculates the reference steering angle changed by the speed of AGV. In the case of low speed, it focuses on the left/right error values of the guide line. As increasing of the speed of AGV, it focuses on the slop of guide line. Lastly, we are to model the above descriptions as the type of PID controller and regulate the coefficient value of it the speed of AGV.

For Autonomous navigation of the mobile robots, the robots' capability to recognize 3D environment is necessary. In this paper, an on-line 3D map building method for autonomous mobile robots is proposed. To get range data on the environment, we use an sensor system which is composed of a structured light and a CCD camera based on optimal triangulation. The structured laser is projected as a horizontal strip on the scene. The sensor system can rotate $\pm$ $30{\Circ}$ with a goniometer. Scanning the system, we get the laser strip image for the environments and update planes composing the environment by some image processing steps. From the laser strip on the captured image, we find a center point of each column, and make line segments through blobbing these center poings. Then, the planes of the environments are updated. These steps are done on-line in scanning phase. With the proposed method, we can efficiently get a 3D map about the structured environment.

TFT-LCD 자동 검사 시스템에서 결함 검출을 위한 영상은 라인 스캔 카메라(line scan camera)나 에어리어 스캔 카메라 (area scan camera)에 의해서 획득하게 된다. 그러나 임펄스 잡음과 가우시안 잡음, CCD 혹은 CMOS 센서의 한계, 조명등의 영향으로 열화된 영상이 획득되며, 한도성 결함 영역을 인간의 육안으로 구분하기 어렵게 된다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 결함 검출을 위해 특징 추출 방법과 결함 검출 방법을 제안한다. 특징 벡터로 웨버의 법칙을 이용한 결함 영역과 주변 배경 영역의 평균 밝기 차와 주변 배경 영역의 밝기 변화를 이용한 표준편차를 이용하며, 결함 영역 검출를 위해 추출된 특징 벡터를 이용하여 비선형 SVM을 적용한다. 실험 결과는 제안한 방법이 다른 방법들 보다 성능이 우수함을 보여준다.

A CCD camera with a laser stripe was applied to realize the automatic weld seam tracking in GMAW. It takes relatively long time to process image on-line control using the basic Hough transformation, but it has a tendency of robustness over the noises such as spatter and arc light. For this reason. it was complemented with adaptive Hough transformation to have an on-line processing ability for scanning specific weld points. The adaptive Hough transformation was used to extract laser stripes and to obtain specific weld points. The 3-dimensional information obtained from the vision system made it possible to generate the weld torch path and to obtain the information such as width and depth of weld line. We controled the wire feeding rate using informations of weld line.

저궤도 지구관측위성에 탑재되는 전자광학 카메라는 높은 SNR 및 MTF 성능 요구조건을 만족시키기 위하여, TDI 기능이 포함된 CCD 센서를 사용하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나, CMOS 센서가 가진 다양한 장점을 활용하기 위하여 CMOS 센서에도 TDI 기능이 추가되고 있으며, CMOS 센서의 취약점 중의 하나인 motion blur 문제를 개선하기 위한 다양한 방법들이 제시되고 있다. CMOS 센서에서도 CCD 센서의 multiphased clocking 방법과 유사하게, 하나의 픽셀을 다수의 서브픽셀로 나누어 각각을 별도로 읽어내거나, 픽셀 사이에 인위적인 마스크을 삽입하기도 한다. 또한, 노출시간(integration time)을 라인타임보다 짧게 하여, TDI CMOS 카메라 시스템의 motion blur를 최소화 할 수도 있다. 노출시간을 조절하는 방법을 적용함으로써, 카메라 제어 유닛의 명령을 통하여, 각각의 촬영임무의 목적에 맞도록, SNR 우선 영상 또는 MTF 우선 영상을 선택적으로 획득하는 것이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 노출시간을 조절하여 motion blur를 최소화 하는 방법에 대해 분석한 결과를 기술하고, MATLAB 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인된 영상품질(dynamic MTF)의 개선 정도를 정리하였다.
