This paper suggests a judgement method for an inclined plane before entrance of it and the detection of obstacle position. Main idea is started from the assumption that obstacle is always on the bottom plane, and corner appears at this position. The process to detect the obstacle consists of three steps. First the 3D data using stereo matching is acquired to detect an obstacle. Second a bottom plane is extracted by using limit condition. Last the obstacle position is found by using Harris corner detection. Obstacle position detection on an inclined plane was verified by outdoor and indoor experiment. In error analysis, it is confirmed that an average error of obstacle detection in outdoor was larger than the error in indoor but the error are within about 0.030 m. This method will be applied to unmanned vehicles to navigate under various environment.

This paper presents an algorithm capable of detecting free space for the autonomous vehicle navigation. The algorithm consists of two main steps: 1) estimation of longitudinal profile of road, 2) detection of free space. The estimation of longitudinal profile of road is detection of v-line in v-disparity image which is corresponded to road slope, using v-disparity image and hough transform, Dijkstra algorithm. To detect free space, we detect u-line in u-disparity image which is a boundary line between free space and obstacle's region, using u-disparity image and dynamic programming. Free space is decided by detected v-line and u-line. The proposed algorithm is proven to be successful through experiments under various traffic scenarios.

As visual surveillance systems become more and more common in human lives, approaches based on these systems to solve security problems in practice are boosted, especially in railway applications. In this paper, we first propose a robust snag detection algorithm and then present a railway security system by using a combination of multiple sensors and the vision based snag detection algorithm. The system aims safety at several repeatedly occurred situations including slope protection, inspection of the falling-object from bridges, and the detection of snags and foreign objects on the rail. Experiments demonstrate that the snag detection is relatively robust and the system could guarantee the security of the railway through these real-time protections and detections.

본 연구에서는 수직 수평면 회피를 분리한 수중운동체의 충돌회피시스템을 구성하였다. 가상지시선(Imaginary Reference Line) 개념을 고안하여 기존의 수직면 충돌회피알고리즘을 수평면에 확장, 적용하였으며 회피각 결정에 장애물의 경사각뿐만 아니라 경사 변화율도 고려하여 보다 원활한 회피가 이루어질 수 있도록 하였다. 제어기의 경우 운동방정식의 비선형성을 고려하고 회피시스템의 강인성을 확보하기 위해 슬라이딩모드 제어를 적용하였다. 수중운동체의 임무 수행중 임의의 3차원 장애물에 대한 회피상황을 가정하고 수치모사를 통해 구성된 충돌회피시스템의 성능을 검증하였다. 또한, 충돌회피알고리즘의 구성 인자인 소나 성능변수들과 보정 계수의 변화에 따른 충돌회피시스템의 성능변화를 살펴보았다.
