Robotic applications, such as automatic fish cutting, require online trajectory planning because the material properties of the object, such as the bone or flesh conditions, are not known in advance. Different trajectories are required when the material properties vary. An effective online trajectory-planning algorithm is proposed using quaternions to determine the position and orientation of a robot manipulator with a spherical wrist. Quaternions are free of representation singularities and permit computationally efficient orientation interpolations. To prevent singular configurations, the exact locations of the kinematic singularities of the PUMA 560 manipulator are derived and geometrically illustrated when a forearm offset exists and the third link length is not zero.

객체의 추출 및 추적은 동영상을 처리하는 영상처리 및 컴퓨터비전 분야에서 매우 기본적이고 중요한 단계로 여러 가지 알고리즘이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 두 대의 CCD 카메라를 이용하여 영상을 획득하면서 이동하는 객체를 추적하고 좌표를 계산하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 특히 개발한 알고리즘의 적용 및 실용화를 위해 축구장에 대한 1/100크기의 축소모형을 제작하여 실험하였다. CCD 카메라를 통해 얻어지는 영상에서 이동 객체 (축구공)의 RGB값을 이용해 후보를 선정하고 후보 중 객체의 크기값(MBR size)을 이용해 객체를 추출한다. 이렇게 추출된 이동객체의 영상좌표를 획득하고 이동객체의 현재 위치를 중심으로 예상 움직임 범위를 결정하여 그 범위 내에서만 검색을 실시해 이동객체의 실시간 위치를 추적하게 된다. 한편 두 대의 CCD 카메라에 대한 상호표정 및 절대표정을 수행하고, 공간전방교선법을 이용함으로써 이동객체의 3차원 좌표를 획득할 수 있다.

컴퓨터의 급속한 발달과 다양한 영상처리기법이 도입되면서, 기존의 기계적 사진측량과 해석적 사진측량에서 숙련된 작업자에 의해 수행되었던 표정작업들을 컴퓨터를 이용해 자동화하고자 하는 시도들이 사진측량 분야에서 활발하게 이루어지기 시작했다. 사진측량공정의 자동화를 위해서는 내부표정, 상호표정, 절대표정 등의 표정작업에 관한 자동화 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구는 내부표정과 상호표정과정을 자동화하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 내부표정에는 Hough 변환을, 상호표정에는 대상공간영상정합기법을 적용하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 기존 수치사진측량시스템에서 수작업에 의존하여 반자동으로 수행되는 표정 작업들을 자동화하기 위한 방법을 제시할 수 있었다.

In the mid 90's, the U.S. government released images acquired by the first generation of photo reconnaissance satellite missions between 1960 and 1972. The Declassified Intelligent Satellite Photographs (DISP) from the Corona mission are of high quality with an astounding ground resolution of about 2 m. The KH-4A panoramic camera system employed a scan angle of $70^{\circ}$ that produces film strips with a dimension of $55\;mm\;{\times}\;757\;mm$. Since GPS/INS did not exist at the time of data acquisition, the exterior orientation must be established in the traditional way by using control information and the interior orientation of the camera. Detailed information about the camera is not available, however. For reconstructing points in object space from DISP imagery to an accuracy that is comparable to high resolution (a few meters), a precise camera model is essential. This paper is concerned with the derivation of a rigorous mathematical model for the KH-4A/B panoramic camera. The proposed model is compared with generic sensor models, such as affine transformation and rational functions. The paper concludes with experimental results concerning the precision of reconstructed points in object space. The rigorous mathematical panoramic camera model for the KH-4A camera system is based on extended collinearity equations assuming that the satellite trajectory during one scan is smooth and the attitude remains unchanged. As a result, the collinearity equations express the perspective center as a function of the scan time. With the known satellite velocity this will translate into a shift along-track. Therefore, the exterior orientation contains seven parameters to be estimated. The reconstruction of object points can now be performed with the exterior orientation parameters, either by intersecting bundle rays with a known surface or by using the stereoscopic KH-4A arrangement with fore and aft cameras mounted an angle of $30^{\circ}$.

Person re-identification is to match pedestrians observed from non-overlapping camera views. It has important applications in video surveillance such as person retrieval, person tracking, and activity analysis. However, it is a very challenging problem due to illumination, pose and viewpoint variations between non-overlapping camera views. In this work, we propose a viewpoint invariant method for matching pedestrian images using orientation of pedestrian. First, the proposed method divides a pedestrian image into patches and assigns angle to a patch using the orientation of the pedestrian under the assumption that a person body has the cylindrical shape. The difference between angles are then used to compute the similarity between patches. We applied the proposed method to real-time global multi-object tracking across multiple disjoint cameras with non-overlapping field of views. Re-identification algorithm makes global trajectories by connecting local trajectories obtained by different local trackers. The effectiveness of the viewpoint invariant method for person re-identification was validated on the VIPeR dataset. In addition, we demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed approach for the inter-camera multiple object tracking on the MCT dataset with ground truth data for local tracking.

The current research aims to explore which type of identity-based message can be more persuasive for Chinese consumers to form positive restaurant brand attitude based on their cultural orientation, and to examine the roles of brand objective relevance and psychological power state in the persuasive process. The study employs a 2(identity expression focus: warmth vs. competence) × 2(message description manner: identity-defining vs. identity-referencing) × 2(experienced power state: high vs. low) between-subjects design, and conducts an online survey where 240 Chinese participants in total has responded to the questionnaires. SPSS and AMOS programs have been used to examine the hypotheses. The findings suggest that, first, the warmth-focused messages (identity-defining messages) more positively affected Chinese consumers' object relevance than the competence-focused messages (identity-referencing messages); Second, high power-experienced Chinese consumers rather than low power consumers tend to perceive more object relevance at the warmth self-defining messages; Third, brand object relevance revealed a mediation effect in the process of the warmth-focused messages (identity-defining messages) affecting brand attitude. This research offers new insight into the relationships between consumers' cultural orientation, understandings of power, and identity-based consumer behavior, suggesting marketers should take those social influences and consumer diversities into account when developing the message to persuade consumers.

최근 가정용 로봇 연구가 활발히 진행됨에 따라, 가정과 같은 다이내믹한 환경에서 로봇이 목소리를 포함한 음원에 반응하고 그 위치를 정확히 찾아가는 것이 매우 중요해지고 있다. 인간이 목표물에 도달하기 위해 경로를 선택할 때, 그 목표물이 소리인 경우는 현재 위치에서 음원의 방향을 추적한다. 또한 그 목표물의 위치가 지도로 주워질 경우에는 현재 위치와 목표물의 절대적 방위를 기준으로 추적한다. 본 논문에서는 이처럼 사람이 다른 사람의 목소리를 듣고 반응하거나 어떤 방향으로 가고자할 때 소리가 나는 방향이나 지도를 통해 대략 자신만의 방위를 만드는 것에 착안하여, 지능형 모바일 로봇에 음원추적 장치와 전자나침반을 장착함으로써 음원의 방향 또는 절대 방위를 기준으로 목표물을 찾아가는 알고리즘을 제시하고자 한다.

This paper presents an efficient method of extracting line segments from the occupancy grids in a grid map. The grid map is composed of 2-D grids that have both the occupancy and orientation probabilities using sonar sensors. We evaluate the orientation information of every grid when the occupancy probability of the grid is updated from sonar range data. To find the shape of an object in the map from orientation information, the orientations are clustered into several groups according to their values. The line segments are, then, extracted from the clusters based on Hough transform. Finally, a feature-based map is built with these line segments. The proposed method is illustrated with the results produced by sets of experiments in an indoor environment.

In this paper, for the accurate estimation of the position and orientation of the UUV (unmanned underwater vehicle), an AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference System) was developed using the IMU (inertial measurement unit) sensor which provides information on acceleration and orientation in the object coordinate and the initial alignment algorithm and the E-KF (extended Kalman Filter). The initial position and orientation of the UUV are estimated using the initial alignment algorithm with 3-axis acceleration and geomagnetic information of the IMU sensor. The position and orientation of the UUV are estimated using the AHRS composed of 3-axis acceleration, velocity, and geomagnetic information and the E-KF. For the performance test of the orientation estimation of the AHRS, a testbed using IMU sensor(ADIS16405) and DSP28335 coded with an E-KF algorithm was developed and its performance was verified through tests.
