To obtain visual information of a target object, a camera should be placed within the visibility region. As the visibility region is dependent on the relative position of the target object and the surrounding object, the position change of the surrounding object during a task requires recalculation of the visibility region. For a fast computation of the visibility region so as to modify the camera position to be located within the visibility region, we propose a spherical projection method. After being projected onto the sphere the visibility region is represented in $\theta$-$\psi$ spaces of the spherical coordinates. The reduction of calculation space enables a fast modification of the camera location according to the motion of the surrounding objects so that the continuous observation of the target object during the task is possible.

An x-ray vision can be a unique method to monitor and analyze the motion of mechanical parts in real time which are invisible from outside. Our problem is to identify the pose, i.e. the position and orientation of an object from x-ray projection images. It is assumed here that the x-ray imaging conditions that include the relative coordinates of the x-ray source and the image plane are predetermined and the object geometry is known. In this situation, an x-ray image of an object at a given pose can be estimated computationally by using a priori known x-ray projection image model. It is based on the assumption that a pose of an object can be determined uniquely to a given x-ray projection image. Thus, once we have the numerical model of x-ray imaging process, x-ray image of the known object at any pose could be estimated ...

This paper presents an unoccluded cylindrical object pose measurement using a slit beam laser in which a robot recognizes all of the unoccluded objects from the top of jumbled objects, and picks them up one by one. The elliptical equation parameters of a projected curve edge on a slice are calculated using LSM. The coefficients of standard elliptical equation are compared with these parameters to estimate the object pose. The hamming distances between the estimated coordinates and the calculated ones are extracted as measures to evaluate a local constraint and a smoothing surface curvature. The edges between slices are linked using error function based on the edge types and the hamming distances. The linked edges on slices are compared with the model object's length to recognize the unoccluded object. This proposed method may provide a solution to the automation of part handling in manufacturing environments such as punch press operation or part assembly.

We propose a method to measure the number of specific species of class using CAFFE model and a method to measure length and width of object using stereo vision. To obtain the width of an object, the location coordinates of objects appearing on the left and right sensor is compared and the distance from the sensor to the object is obtained. Then the length of the object in the image by using the distance and the approximate value of the actual length of the object is calculated.

A hierarchical structure for the cooperative control of multiple mobile robots using coordinates of objects obtained from vision system is proposed. The order-level perceives environments represented by workspace sets. The algorithm selects an object to be moved using an object discrimination part and determines the robot actions. The action-level generates a trajectory of each wheel velocity of robot. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

From the relationship between the two different views of an object with grid, the three dimensional coordinates of intersection points are determined. The images are captured and digitized with a CCD camera and a frame grabber. To find intersection points, local thresholding and line thinning operations are performed. By establishing the correspondence between the points in the two views, the three dimensional corrdinates of intersection points are calculated.

Geometric transformations require many operations in displaying moving 3D objects on the screen and a fast computation is a important problem in CAD or animation applications. The general method to compute the transformation coordinates of an object represented by an octree must perform the operations on every node. This paper proposes an efficient method that computes the rectangular coordinates of the vertices of the octree nodes into the coordinates of the universe space using the basicvectors in order to compute quickly geometric transformations of 3D images represented by an octree. The coordinates of the vertices of each octant are computed by using the formula presented here, which requies additions and multiplications by powers of 2. This method has a very fast execution time and is compared with the general computation method.

In this study, we developed a Portable Multi-sensor System, which consists of a video camera, a GPS/MEMS IMU and a UMPC to acquire video images and position/attitude data. We performed image georeferencing based on the bundle adjustment without ground control points using the acquired data and then evaluated the effectiveness of our system through the accuracy verification. The experimental results showed that the RMSE of relative coordinates on the ground point coordinates obtained from our system was several centimeters. Our system can be efficiently utilized to obtain the 3D model of object and their relative coordinates. In future, we plan to improve the accuracy of absolute coordinates through the rigorous calibration of the system and camera.

Maritime object detection systems, which detects small maritime obstacles such as fish farm buoys and visualizes distance and direction, is equipped with a 3-axis gimbal to compensate for errors caused by hull motion, but there is a limit to distance error corrections necessitated by the vertical movement of the camera and the maritime object due to wave motions. Therefore, in this study, the distance error of maritime object detection systems caused by the movement of the water surface according to the external environment is analyzed and corrected using average filter and moving average filter. Random numbers following a Gaussian standard normal distribution were added to or subtracted from the image coordinates to reproduce the rise or fall of the buoy under irregular waves. The distance calculated according to the change of image coordinates, the predicted distance through the average filter and the moving average filter, and the actual distance measured by laser distance meter were compared. In phases 1 and 2, the error rate increased to a maximum of 98.5% due to the changes of image coordinates due to irregular waves, but the error rate decreased to 16.3% with the moving average filter. This error correction capability was better than with the average filter, but there was a limit due to failure to respond to the distance change. Therefore, it is considered that use of the moving average filter to correct the distance error of the maritime object detection system will enhance responses to the real-time distance change and greatly improve the error rate.
