A new method for the catadioptric omnidirectional stereo vision with single camera is presented in this paper. The proposed method uses a concave lens with a convex mirror. Since the optical part of the proposed method is simple and commercially available, the resultant omnidirectional stereo system becomes versatile and cost-effective. The closed-form solution for 3D distance computation is presented based on the simple optics including the reflection and the reflection of the convex mirror and the concave lens. The compactness of the system and the simplicity of the image processing make the omnidirectional stereo system appropriate for real-time applications such as autonomous navigation of a mobile robot or the object manipulation. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed method, an experimental prototype is implemented.

In this study, we propose a spherical flux concentration structure for omnidirectional wireless power transfer. Omnidirectional wireless power transfer technology is a method that can transmit power to a transmitter located in an arbitrary position in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. However, to improve the power transfer distance in a wireless power transfer system, the diameter of the coil or the number of windings must increase, thereby increasing the size of the transmitter. The proposed transmitter structure adds a ferrite core inside the transmitter coil so that the magnetic flux generated by the transmitter is directed toward the position of the receiver. As a result, the flux linkage and the mutual inductance increase. By implementing the omnidirectional wireless power transfer system using the proposed structure, the power transfer distance can be improved by 65% compared with the conventional system without increasing the size of the transmitter. Simulation shows that the proposed spherical flux concentration structure increases the mutual inductance of the omnidirectional wireless power transmission system.

감시 및 로보트 분야 등에서 다양하게 사용되는 전방향(omnidirectional) 카메라 시스템은 넓은 시야각을 제공한다. 전방향 카메라의 사영모델과 외부변수를 추정하는 대부분의 기존 연구에서는 사전에 설정된 영상 간의 대응관계를 가정한다. 본 논문에서는 두 장의 전방향 영상으로부터 투영곡선을 자동으로 정합하여 카메라의 외부변수를 추정하는 새로운 알고리즘이 제안된다. 먼저 두 영상에서 대응되는 특징점으로부터 에피폴라 구속조건을 계산하여 초기 카메라 변수를 계산한다. 검출된 특징점과 투영곡선을 대상으로 능동적(active) 정합방법으로 대응관계를 결정한다. 최종 단계에서 대응 투영곡선을 구성하는 양 끝점의 에피폴라(epipolar) 평면과 3차원 벡터의 각도 오차를 최소화하는 카메라 변수를 추정한다. 합성영상과 어안렌즈(fisheye lens)로 취득된 실제 영상을 대상으로 제안된 알고리즘이 기존 방법에 비해 카메라의 외부변수를 정확하게 추정함을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a global mapping algorithm for multiple robots from an omnidirectional-vision simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) approach based on an object extraction method using Lucas-Kanade optical flow motion detection and images obtained through fisheye lenses mounted on robots. The multi-robot mapping algorithm draws a global map by using map data obtained from all of the individual robots. Global mapping takes a long time to process because it exchanges map data from individual robots while searching all areas. An omnidirectional image sensor has many advantages for object detection and mapping because it can measure all information around a robot simultaneously. The process calculations of the correction algorithm are improved over existing methods by correcting only the object's feature points. The proposed algorithm has two steps: first, a local map is created based on an omnidirectional-vision SLAM approach for individual robots. Second, a global map is generated by merging individual maps from multiple robots. The reliability of the proposed mapping algorithm is verified through a comparison of maps based on the proposed algorithm and real maps.

In this paper, we propose a novel compact surveillance throwing robot which has an omnidirectional shock absorption mechanism and an active control part of wheel treads to stabilize the dynamic posture of a miniature sphere type throwing robot. This throwing robot, which weighs 1.14kg and is 110mm in height, is designed in a spherical shape to be easily grabbed for throwing. Also, the omnidirectional shock absorbing aspect is designed using several leaf springs connected with inner and outer wheels. The wheel treads control part consists of a link mechanism. Through the field experiments, this robot is validated to withstand higher than 17Ns of omnidirectional impulse and increase the stabilized max speed three times from 11 rad/s to 33rad/s by increasing wheel treads.

Precision screws have a wide range of industrial applications such as electrical and automotive products. To produce screw threads with high precision, not only high precision manufacturing technology but also reliable measurement technology is required. Machine vision systems have been used in the automatic inspection of screw threads based on backlight illumination, which cannot detect defects on the thread surface. Recently, an omnidirectional inspection system for screw threads was developed to obtain $360^{\circ}$ images of screws, based on front light illumination. In this study, the illumination design for the omnidirectional inspection system was modified by adding a light shield to improve the image uniformity. Optical simulation for various shield designs was performed to analyze image uniformity of the obtained images. The simulation results were analyzed statistically using response surface method, from which optical performance of the omnidirectional inspection system could be optimized in terms of image quality and uniformity.

In contrast to parts of relatively simple shapes, it is important to match their cross-sectional shapes during mating parts of complicated shapes. It requires the 2.pi. information along their matching boundary to figure out their relative geometrical shapes. In this paper, we propose a method measuring a misalignment at the interface during mating parts with the complicated shapes by using the omnidirectional image sensing system(OLSSA). Also we carried out experiments in order to prove the method, and the results show the feasibility.
