Continuing progress in high technology has created numerous industrial applications for new advanced composite materials. Among these materials, carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminate composite is typically used for low-weight carrying structures that require high specific strength. In this study, the damage mechanism of a compact tension (CT) specimen of woven CFRP laminates is described in terms of strain and displacement changes and crack growth behavior. The digital image correlation (DIC) method (which is employed here as a computer vision technique) is analyzed. Acoustic emission (AE) characteristics are also acquired during fracture tests. The results demonstrate the usefulness of these methods in evaluating the damage mechanism for woven CFRP laminate composites. From the results, we show these methods are so useful in order to evaluate the damage mechanism for woven CFRP laminate composites.

Quality control is essential to the final product in BGA-type PCB fabrication. So, many automatic vision systems have been developed to achieve speedy, low cost and high quality inspection. A multiple threshold selection algorithm is a very important technique for machine vision based inspection. In this paper, an inspected image is modeled by using fuzzy sets and then the parameters of specified membership functions are estimated to be in maximum fuzzy entropy with the probability of the fuzzy sets, using the exhausted search method. Fuzzy c-partitions with the estimated parameters are automatically generated, and then multiple thresholds are selected as the crossover points of the fuzzy sets that form the estimated fuzzy partitions. Several experiments related to flip chip BGA images show that the proposed algorithm outperforms previous ones using both entropy and variance, and also can be successfully applied to AVI systems.

As computer vision algorithms are developed on a continuous basis, the visual information from vision sensors has been widely used in the context of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), called visual SLAM, which utilizes relative motion information between images. This research addresses a visual SLAM framework for online localization and mapping in an unstructured seabed environment that can be applied to a low-cost unmanned underwater vehicle equipped with a single monocular camera as a major measurement sensor. Typically, an image motion model with a predefined dimensionality can be corrupted by errors due to the violation of the model assumptions, which may lead to performance degradation of the visual SLAM estimation. To deal with the erroneous image motion model, this study employs a local bundle optimization (LBO) scheme when a closed loop is detected. The results of comparison between visual SLAM estimation with LBO and the other case are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

The study aimed at conducting comparative analysis of employees' job satisfaction between Korean brand restaurant and foreign's in the food service industry, and suggesting useful human resource management. As a result, the survey showed several findings; The first, workers in the Korean brand restaurant have more satisfied than foreign brand restaurant employee overall. The second, expecially employees in the Korean brand company have higher pride and vision than those of Foreign brand company in the restaurant business. The third, service staffs in the both recognized very low in the working schedule, fairness of promotion, and wage. Some implications are as followed; The first, works as a one day manager or unit manager who is one of the best employees. The second, use education & training video to increasing the communication. The third, attend in the decision making to being a part of co' and giving a motivation.

This paper presents a visual feedback system that controls a micromanipulator using multiple microscopic vision information. The micromanipulation stations basically have optical microscope. However the single field-of-view of optical microscope essentially limits the workspace of the micromanipulator and low dept-of-field makes it difficult to handle 3D-shaped micro objects. The system consists of a stereoscopic microscope, three CCD cameras, the micromanipulator and personal computer. The use of stereoscopic microscope which has long working distance and high depth-of-field with selective field-of-view improves the recognizability of 3D-shaped micro objects and provides a method for overcoming several essential limitations in micromanipulation. Thus, visual feedback information is very important in handling micro objects for overcoming those limitations and provides a mean for the ...

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.

본 논문에서는 라즈베리파이를 활용하여 야생조류의 행동에 반응하는 비전기반 야생조류 퇴치 장치를 구현하였다. 저가형 라즈베리파이 보드를 기반으로 카메라센서와 OpenCV 모션탐지기법을 활용하여 야생조류의 침입을 탐지하고, 그리고 야생조류가 소리별로 반응하는 데이터를 누적시키는 방법을 활용하여 효율적으로 퇴치하도록 개발하였다. 성능평가는 야생 직박구리와 박새를 포획하여 야외 실험장에서 진행하였고 실제 환경에서도 야생조류를 퇴치할 수 있다는 결과를 보여준다.

Nowadays, the road safety is an important research field. One of the principal research topics in this field is the vehicle localization in the road network. This article presents an approach of multi sensor fusion able to locate a vehicle with a decimeter precision. The different informations used in this method come from the following sensors: a low cost GPS, a numeric camera, an odometer and a steer angle sensor. Taking into account a complete model of errors on GPS data (bias on position and nonwhite errors) as well as the data provided by an original approach coupling a vision algorithm with a precise numerical map allow us to get this precision.

A punched pipe in a muffler for an automobile has many important variables, like location of holes in the pipe and length of the pipe related to noise reduction of a diffuser. This pipe is cut depending on length of product and this process, generally workers cut pipes by hands. In this process, there are many errors and it relies on the skill of workers, so it can happen that cycle time for complete product gets long and productivity gets low. Therefore, we need a vision system to distinguish holes in the punched pipe and a transfer system to set the cutting position automatically by moving the pipe depending on forward and backward part of the holes. This paper explains the development of an automatic transfer device which will cause the beating pipe to be cut correctly, exactly the same length as the product.

A better tracking performance can be achieved, if visual sensors such as CCD cameras are used in controling a robot manipulator, than when only relative sensors such as encoders are used. However, for precise visual servoing of a robot manipulator, an expensive vision system which has fast sampling rate must be used. Moreover, even if a fast vision system is implemented for visual servoing, one cannot get a reliable performance without use of robust and stable inner joint servo-loop. In this paper, we propose a dynamic control scheme for robot manipulators with eye-in-hand camera configuration, where a dynamic learning controller is designed to improve the tracking performance of robotic system. The proposed control scheme is implemented for tasks of tracking moving objects and shown to be robust to parameter uncertainty, disturbances, low sampling rate, etc.
