The Intelligent Space(ISpace) provides challenging research fields for surveillance, human-computer interfacing, networked camera conferencing, industrial monitoring or service and training applications. ISpace is the space where many intelligent devices, such as computers and sensors, are distributed. According to the cooperation of many intelligent devices, the environment, it is very important that the system knows the location information to offer the useful services. In order to achieve these goals, we present a method for representing, tracking and human following by fusing distributed multiple vision systems in ISpace, with application to pedestrian tracking in a crowd. And the article presents the integration of color distributions into particle filtering. Particle filters provide a robust tracking framework under ambiguity conditions. We propose to track the moving objects by generating hypotheses not in the image plan but on the top-view reconstruction of the scene. Comparative results on real video sequences show the advantage of our method for multi-object tracking. Also, the method is applied to the intelligent environment and its performance is verified by the experiments.

The KOMPSAT(Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite) has two optical imaging instruments called EOC(Electro-Optical Camera) and OSMI (Ocean Scanning Multispectral Imager). The image data of these instruments are transmitted to ground station and restored correctly after post-processing with the telemetry data transfeered from KOMPSAT spacecraft. The major timing information of the KOMPSAT is OBT (On-Board Time) which is formatted by the on-board computer of the spacecraft, based on 1Hz sync. pulse coming from the GPS receiver involved. The OBT is transmitted to ground station with the house-keeping telemetry data of the spacecraft while it is distributed to the instruments via 1553B data bus for synchronization during imaging and formatting. The timing information contained in the spacecraft telemetry data would have direct relation to the image data of the instruments, which should be well explained to get a more accurate image. This paper addresses the timing analysis of the KOMPSAT spacecraft and instruments, including the gyro data timing analysis for the correct restoration of the EOC and OSMI image data at ground station.

This paper proposes a semi-automatic image-based approach for 3-dimensional (3D) modeling of buildings along streets. Image-based urban 3D modeling techniques are typically based on the use of aerial and ground-level images. The aerial image of the relevant area is extracted from publically available sources in Google Maps by stitching together different patches of the map. Panoramic images are common for ground-level recording because they have advantages for 3D modeling. A panoramic video recorder is used in the proposed approach for recording sequences of ground-level spherical panoramic images. The proposed approach has two advantages. First, detected camera trajectories are more accurate and stable (compared to methods using multi-view planar images only) due to the use of spherical panoramic images. Second, we extract the texture of a facade of a building from a single panoramic image. Thus, there is no need to deal with color blending problems that typically occur when using overlapping textures.

MSC (Multi-Spectral Camera) is the payload of KOMPSAT-2, which is being developed for earth imaging in optical and near-infrared region. The design of the MSC is completed and its reliability has been assessed from part level to the MSC system level. The reliability was analyzed in worst case and the analysis results showed that the value complies the required value of 0.9. In this paper, a calculation method of reliability for the MSC system is described, and assessment result is presented and discussed.

The Channel Coding Unit (CCU) is an integral component of Payload Data Transmission System (PDTS) for the Multi-Spectral Camera (MSC) data. The main function of the CCU is channel coding and encryption. CCU has two channels (I & Q) for data processing. The input of CCU is the output of DCSU (Data Compression & Storage Unit). The output of CCU is the input of QTX which modulate data for RF communication. In this paper, there are the overview, short H/W description and operation concept of CCU.

As a main management unit of MSC, PMU controls the MSC payload operation by issuing commands to other subunit and PMU internal modules. One of these main control functions is to drive the APS(Antenna Pointing System) when APS motion is required. For this purpose, SBC(Single Board Computer) for calculating motor commands and APDE for driving APM(Antenna Pointing Mechanism) by PWM signal operate inside PUM. In this paper, details on APDE design shall be described such as electronic board architecture, primary and redundant design concept, Cross-Strap, FPGA contents and latch-up immune concept, etc., which shall show good practices of electronic board design for space program.

This paper presents a visual servoing combined by Neural Network with optimal structure and predictive control for robotic manipulators to tracking or grasping of the moving object. Using the four feature image information from CCD camera attached to end-effector of RV-M2 robot manipulator having 5 dof, we want to predict the updated position of the object. The Kalman filter is used to estimate the motion parameters, namely the state vector of the moving object in successive image frames, and using the multi layer feedforward neural network that permits the connection of other layers, evolutionary programming(EP) that search the structure and weight of the neural network, and evolution strategies(ES) which training the weight of neuron, we optimized the net structure of control scheme. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed control scheme and predictive control of moving object will be verified by computer simulation.

Intelligent Space (iSpace) is the space where many intelligent devices, such as computers and sensors, are distributed. According to the cooperation of many intelligent devices, the environment comes to have intelligence. In iSpace, the locations of multiple humans and other objects are obtained and tracked by using multiple camera and color-based method. In addition, we describe a context-aware information system which is based on Spatial-Knowledge-Tags (SKT). SKT system enables humans to access information and data by using spatial location of human and stored information in storage. The proposed tracking method is applied to the intelligent environment and its performance is verified by the experiments.

사용자가 현재 위치해 있는 장소를 알아내는 것은 상황인식 분야에서 활발히 연구되고 있는 분야중 하나로, 이를 위해서 사용자의 몸에 다양한 센서를 장착하고 그 센서로부터 추출되는 데이터를 분석하여 사용자의 위치를 인식하는 연구가 많이 이루어져왔다. 본 논문에서는, 사용자의 몸에 장착된 카메라로부터 얻어진 영상을 이용하여 사용자의 현재 장소를 인식하는 장소 인식 시스템을 제안한다. 기존의 방법론들에 비해서 높은 성능을 보이기 위해서 본 논문에서는 두 가지 방법을 제안하였다. 먼저 한 방향만의 영상으로는 인식이 어려운 장소에서도 좋은 인식 성능을 보일 수 있도록 하기 위해, 여러 대의 카메라를 동시에 사용하여 여러 방향의 영상을 얻어내는 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 이전 시간의 장소 인식 결과로부터 현재 시간의 장소를 추론하는 데에 있어서, 각 장소들에 대해 알고 있는 사전지식을 보다 많이 적용할 수 있는 인식 모델을 제안하였다. 실제 대학 실내 환경에서의 실험을 통하여, 제안한 방법을 이용한 장소 인식기법이 좋은 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.
