This paper proposes a SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features) based face recognition method which is one of typical interest point extraction algorithms. In general, SURF based object recognition is performed in interest point extraction and matching. In this paper, although, proposed method is employed not only in interest point extraction and matching, but also in face image rotation and interest point verification. image rotation is performed to increase the number of interest points and interest point verification is performed to find interest points which were matched correctly. Although proposed SURF based face recognition method requires more computation time than PCA based one, it shows better recognition rate than PCA algorithm. Through this experimental result, I confirmed that interest point extraction algorithm also can be adopted in face recognition.

In this paper, we introduce an autonomous calibration method for a 2D laser displacement sensor (e.g. laser vision sensor and laser range finder) by matching a single point on a flat structure. Many arc welding robots install a 2D laser displacement sensor to expand their application by recognizing their environment (e.g. base metal and seam). In such systems, sensing data should be transformed to the robot's coordinates, and the geometric relation (i.e. rotation and translation) between the robot's coordinates and sensor coordinates should be known for the transformation. Calibration means the inference process of geometric relation between the sensor and robot. Generally, the matching of more than 3 points is required to infer the geometric relation. However, we introduce a novel method to calibrate using only 1 point matching and use a specific flat structure (i.e. circular hole) which enables us to find the geometric relation with a single point matching. We make the rotation component of the calibration results as a constant to use only a single point by moving a robot to a specific pose. The flat structure can be installed easily in a manufacturing site, because the structure does not have a volume (i.e. almost 2D structure). The calibration process is fully autonomous and does not need any manual operation. A robot which installed the sensor moves to the specific pose by sensing features of the circular hole such as length of chord and center position of the chord. We show the precision of the proposed method by performing repetitive experiments in various situations. Furthermore, we applied the result of the proposed method to sensor based seam tracking with a robot, and report the difference of the robot's TCP (Tool Center Point) trajectory. This experiment shows that the proposed method ensures precision.

This paper presents a new system for online signature verification, approaching for finding gaps between a point-to-point matching and a segment-to-segment matching. Each matching algorithm has been separately used in previous studies. Various features with respect to each matching algorithm have been extracted for solving two-class classification problem. We combined advantages of the two algorithms to implement an efficient system for online signature verification. In the proposed method, extreme feints are used to extract writer-dependent features. In addition, using the writer-dependent features proves to be more adaptive than using writer-independent features in terms of efficiency of classification and verification in this paper.

This paper presents the matching algorithm with the satellite images using the image warping method. Two stereo images, which are used for the DEM(Digital Elevation Model) extraction, are generally distorted because the images are acquired at different locations and angles. Therefore, the matching Process can't be executed with the original images. To solve this problem, a dynamic triangular image warping method is proposed. At first, the initial matching is executed with seed point, and then, using the matched points from the initial matching, the distorted images is compensated. We experimented this algorithm with the parts of the $6000{\times}6000$ SPOT satellite images. The experiment results show this algorithm is superior to other warping algorithm.

This paper is related to the object-based stereo matching algorithm which makes it possible to estimate inner-region disparities for each segmented region. First, several sample points are selected for effectively representing the segmented region, Next, stereo matching is applied to the small area within segmented region which existed in the neighborhood or each sample point. Finally, inner-region disparities are interpolated using a plane equation with disparity of each selected sample. According to the proposed method, the problem of feature-based method that the depth estimation is possible only in the feature points can be solved through the propagation of the disparity in the sample point into the inside of the region. Also, as selecting sample points in contour of segmented region we can effectively suppress obscurity which is occurred in the depth estimation of the monotone region in area-based methods.

In the closed range space, the parallel two CCD cameras are used to acquire a pair of stereo image. The acquired stereo image are computed with Wavelet Transform repeatedly and including the low frequency component, the image size of those are reduced. It is the pyramid structure. The optimum matching point is searched to the pixel. Then appling the optimum matching point to DLT, it extract the three - dimensional surface coordinate from a stereo image. The direct linear transformation(DLT) method is used to calibrate the stereo camera compute the coordinate on a three dimensional space. To find the parameters for the DLT method, 30 control points which marked on the cylinder type object are used. To improve the matching algorithm, the paper select the pyramid structure for Wavelet Transform. The acquired disparity information is used to represent the really three-dimensional surface coordinate.

This paper introduces an Interactive Feature Extraction (!FE) approach for the registration of satellite imagery by matching extracted point and line features. !FE method contains both point extraction by cross-correlation matching of singular points and line extraction by Hough transform. The purpose of this study is to minimize user's intervention in feature extraction and easily apply the extracted features for image registration. Experiments with these imagery dataset proved the feasibility and the efficiency of the suggested method.

The purpose of this paper is to extract DEM (Digital Elevation Model) using KOMPSAT images. DEM extraction consists of three parts. First part is the modeling of satellite position and attitude, second part is the matching of two images to find corresponding points of them and third part is to calculate the elevation of each point by using the result of the first and second part. The position and attitude modeling of satellite is processed by using GCPs. Area based matching method is used to find the corresponding points between the stereo satellite images. The elevation of each point is calculated using the exterior orientation information obtained from sensor modeling and the disparity from the stereo matching. In experiment, the KOMPSAT images, 2592$\times$2796 panchromatic images are used to extract DEM. The experiment result show the DEM using KOMPSAT images.

In this paper, we applied FFT to PCB Images, cutting unnecessary singals and noise, moving the starting point to center of image and used rotaion transform. from the detected edge Hough Transform identify the length, but not the angle, so we matched PCB images with using rotation transform to identify length and angle. After rotation transform we employ Least Squared Method to exact stereo matching.

In this study, a length adjustment algorithm for cyclic signals in manufacturing process using Time Invariant Feature point Extraction and Matching(TIFEM) is proposed. In order to precisely compensate the length of cyclic signals which have irregular length in the middle of signal as well as in the full length more feature points are needed. The extracted feature must involve information about the pattern of signal and should have invariant properties on time and scale. The proposed TIFEM algorithm extracts features having the intrinsic properties of the signal characteristics at first. By using those extracted features, feature vector is constructed for each time point. Among those extracted features, the only effective features are filtered and are chosen such as basis for the length adjustment. And then the partial length adjustment is performed by matching feature points. To verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, the experiments were performed with the experimental data mimicking the three kinds of signals generated from the actual semiconductor process.
