The handling ability of containers at the terminal strongly depends on the performance of the cargo handling system such as RTGC(Rubber Tired Gantry Crane) and RMGC(Rail Mounted Gantry Crane). This paper introduces a guide line measurement system on the operating condition, in which two camera are installed to detect the guide line. Because the line tracking is the basic technique for control system design of RTGC, it is necessary to develop a useful and reliable measurement system. If the displacement and angle of the RTGC relative to a guide line as the trajectory to follow is obtained, the position of RTGC is automatically calculated. Therefore, in this paper, a camera-based measurement system is introduced. The proposed measurement system is robust against light fluctuation and cracks of the guide line. This system consists of two camera and a PC which are installed at the lower side of the RTGC. Two edges of the guide line are detected from an input image taken by the cameras in the moving state, and these positions are determined in a Hough parameter space by using the Hough transformation method. From the experimental results, the accuracy and usefulness of the proposed system is evaluated by comparing other instruments.

A vision sensor measure range data using laser light source. This sensor generally use patterned laser which shaped single line. But this vision sensor cannot satisfy new trend which feeds foster and more precise processing. The sensor's sampling rate increases as reduced image processing time. However, the sampling rate can not over 30fps, because a camera has mechanical sampling limit. If we use multi line laser pattern, we will measure multi range data in one image. In the case of using same sampling rate camera, number of 2D range data profile in one second is directly proportional to laser line's number. For example, the vision sensor using 5 laser lines can sample 150 profiles per second in best condition.

An integrated Robot control system for SCARA robot is developed. The system consists of an off-line programming(OLP), software and a robot controller using four digital signal processor(TMS32OC50). The OLP has functions of teaching task, dynamic simulator, three dimensional animation, and trajectory planning. To develop robust dynamic control algorithm, a new sliding mode control algorithm for the robot is proposed. The trajectory tracking performance of these algorithm is evaluated by implementing to SCARA robot(SM5 type) using DSP controller which has conventional PI-FF control algorithm. To make SCARA robot operate according to off-line teaching, an interface between OLP and robot controller in the integrated system is designed. To demonstrate performance of the integrated system, the proposed control algorithm is applied to the system.

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.

Recently, a large amount of budget was invested in improving the railway tracks(double tracking, route improvement) of Janghang and Jungang line. However, further action to enhance the investment effect has been needed because the desired effect have not been obtained. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of track improvement briefly by examining the project summary of Janghang and Jungang line railway line improvement and analysing the change of the transport performance and revenue. The results of this study can be applied not only to establish an operation plan for maximizing the revenue of rail operation also to enhance an effect of track improvement.

Power line communications is a topic which has been studied for many years, However. the technology has not been widely adopted for data networking in homes and small businesses due to low speed. low functionality. and other barriers. Recently. with a proper technology. it is shown that the power line infrastructure can also be served as a high-speed communications medium. This paper describes a transmission scheme for power lines that is based on orthogonal frequency division multiplex(OFDM) technique. This technique can be used for high-speed data communication over the power line. This paper also presents an adaptive tracking algorithm which allocate bits and power adaptively according to the channel characteristics. The performance of the proposed scheme has been demonstrated by some simulations with taking modeled channel conditions into account.

A discrete dynamic model for tracking feature points in 2D images is developed. Conventional snake approaches deform a contour to lock onto features of interest within an image by finding a minimum of its energy functional, composed of internal and external forces. The neighborhood around center snaxel is a space matrix, typically rectangular. The structure of the model proposed in this paper is a set of connected vertices. Energy model is designed for its local minima to comprise the set of alternative solutions available to active process. Block on tracking is one dimension, line type. Initial starting points are defined to the satisfaction of indent states, which is then automatically modified by an energy minimizing process. The track is influenced by curvature constraints, ascent/descent or upper/lower points. The advantages and effectiveness of this layer approach may also be applied to feature points tracking of digital image whose pixels have one directional properties with high autocorrelation between adjacent data lines, vertically or horizontally. The test image is the ultrasonic carotid artery image of human body, and we have verified its effect on intima/adventitia starting points tracking.
