In this thesis, a video tracker with a TMS320C31 DSP is designed and implemented. It is intended to work with PC through PCI Bus and can be used in real-time applications. The DSP board is capable of grabbing image data from camera, and calculating the position of a target, and tracking its movement. The tracking situation can be displayed in a PC monitor and displacement of the movement is fed back to pan and tilt the camera. Experimental results show that the tracker implemented here works well in real applications.

In this paper, we studied for the real-time azimuthal measurement of HMD(Head Mounted Display) using the feature points detection to control the tele-operated vision system on the mobile robot. To give the sense of presence to the tele-operator, we used a HMD to display the remote scene, measured the rotation angle of the HMD on a real time basis, and transmitted the measured rotation angles to the mobile robot controller to synchronize the pan-tilt angles of remote camera with the HMD. In this paper, we suggest an algorithm for the real-time estimation of the HMD rotation angles using feature points extraction from pc-camera image.

In this paper, a new stereo object tracking system using the disparity motion vector is proposed. In the proposed method, the time-sequential disparity motion vector can be estimated from the disparity vectors which are extracted from the sequence of the stereo input image pair and then using these disparity motion vectors, the area where the target object is located and its location coordinate are detected from the input stereo image. Basing on this location data of the target object, the pan/tilt embedded in the stereo camera system can be controlled and as a result, 3D tracking of the target object can be possible.

본 논문에서는 조명 또는 장면의 갑작스러운 변화에 효과적으로 배경모델링을 하기 위해 국부이진패턴을 이용한 다중 배경모델링 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 각 장면에서 독립적인 배경모델을 이용하여 모델 업데이트를 실시한다. 이후 검출된 전경 영역의 비율이 일정 임계치를 넘게 되면 기존의 모델 중 적합한 모델을 찾거나 새로운 모델을 생성하여 현재 배경모델을 대체한다. 이는 배경모델의 성능을 유지하면서 효율적으로 장면의 변화에 바로 대응할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 실험결과에서는 실내조명이 갑작스럽게 변하는 영상과 Pan Tilt Zoom 카메라를 이용한 다중 영상에서 제안한 방법이 효과적으로 동작함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper we propose a new method for modeling indoor environment with stereo camera and suggest a localization method for mobile robot navigation on the basis of it. From the viewpoint of easiness in map building and exclusion of artificiality, the main idea of this paper is that environment is represented as global topological map and each node has omni-directional metric and color information by using stereo camera and pan/tilt mechanism. We use the depth and color information itself in image pixel as feature for environmental abstraction. In addition, we use only the depth and color information at horizontal centerline in image, where optical axis is passing. The usefulness of this m...

In this paper, we present real-time, accurate face region detection and tracking technique for an intelligent surveillance system. It is very important to obtain the high-resolution images, which enables accurate identification of an object-of-interest. Conventional surveillance or security systems, however, usually provide poor image quality because they use one or more fixed cameras and keep recording scenes without any clue. We implemented a real-time surveillance system that tracks a moving person using pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras. While tracking, the region-of-interest (ROI) can be obtained by using a low-pass filter and background subtraction. Color information in the ROI is updated to extract features for optimal tracking and zooming. The experiment with real human faces showed highly acceptable results in the sense of both accuracy and computational efficiency.

본 논문에서는 MPEG 압축 도메인 상에서 카메라 움직임 정보를 추출하는 효과적인 방법을 제안한다. 카메라 움직임 정보는 동영상에서의 주요 장면과 프레임간의 관계를 기술할 수 있는 실마리를 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 MPEG Video의 모션벡터를 이용하여 카메라 움직임 정보를 추출한다. 카메라 움직임에 따라 모션벡터는 특징적으로 분포하는 특성이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 특징들을 이용하여 MPEG 모션벡터의 방향성과 크기를 이용하여 각 모션벡터끼리 교차점과 평행성분을 구한다. 그리고 이것을 이용하여 같은 교차점과 평행성분끼리 모션벡터 Clustering 을 수행한다 본 논문에서는 클러스터링 된 모션벡터를 Fuzzy inference rule을 이용하여 카메라 움직임이 Zoom, Pan, Tilt 인지 여부를 판단한다. 실험은 전통적인 방법 중에 하나인 Affine Model 방법과 비교하며 본 논문의 방법이 어느정도 우수함을 입증한다.

The camera and reduction mechanism that are equipment outdoors camera for general CCTV are miniaturization trend gradually. The foreign countries began to sell variableness speed type camera drivels that do DC voltage by motive power recently. But, Domestic is state that enterprise which has technology connected with this does not exist. We need optimum control program design, an internal organs technology, actuator interface and a driver design technology that have position control special quality of high accuracy as a necessary technology for CCTV camera drivers. Also, we need detailed mechanism design and a manufacture technology of camera drivers that behave variable speed essentially.

To achieve autonomous mobile robot navigation, accurate localization technique is the fundamental issue that should be addressed. In augmented reality, the position of a user is required for location-based services. This paper presents indoor localization using infrared reflective artificial landmarks. In order to minimize the disturbance to the user and to provide the ease of installation, the passive landmarks are used. The landmarks are made of coated film which reflects the infrared light efficiently. Infrared light is not visible, but the camera can capture the reflected infrared light. Once the artificial landmark is identified, the camera's relative position/orientation is estimated with respect to the landmark. In order to reduce the number of the required artificial landmarks for a given environment, the pan/tilt mechanism is developed together with the distortion correction algorithm.
