Estimation of cable tension through proper measurements is one of the essential tasks in evaluating the safety of cable structures. In this paper, a study on cable tension estimation using the built-in accelerometer and camera in a smartphone was conducted. For the experimental study, visual displacement measurement using a smartphone camera and acceleration measurement using a built-in accelerometer were performed in the cable-stayed bridge model. The estimated natural frequencies and transformed tensions from these measurements were compared with the theoretical values and results from the normal visual displacement method. Through comparison, it can be seen that the error between the method using the smartphone and the normal visual displacement is sufficiently small to be acceptable. It has also been shown that those errors are much smaller than the difference between the values calculated by the theoretical model. These results show that the deviation according to the type of measurement method is not large and it is rather important to use an appropriate mathematical model. In conclusion, in the case of cable tension estimation, it can be said that the visual displacement measurement and acceleration using a smartphone can be a sufficiently applicable method, just like the normal visual displacement method. It is also noteworthy that the smartphone accelerometer has a larger magnitude error and has more limitations such as high-frequency sampling instability compared to the visual displacement method, but shows almost the same performance as the visual displacement method in this cable tension estimation.

Recently, advance in technology have increased the importance of visual inspection in semiconductor inspection areas. In PCB visual inspection, accurate line estimation is critical to the accuracy of the entire process, since it is utilized in preprocessing steps such as calibration and alignment. We propose a line estimation method that is differently weighted for the line candidates using a histogram of gradient information, when the position of the initial approximate corner points is known. Using the obtained line equation of the outline, corner points can be calculated accurately. The proposed method is compared with the existing method in terms of the accuracy of the detected corner points. The proposed method accurately detects corner points even when the existing method fails. For high-resolution frames of 3.5mega-pixels, the proposed method is performed in 89.01ms.

최근 비쥬얼 센서 기술의 발달로 센서 네트워크에 영상을 추가하기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 비쥬얼 센서는 다른 센서 정보에 비해 데이터가 크기 때문에 데이터의 크기를 효율적으로 관리하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 효과적인 데이터 관리에 필요한 비디오 트래픽 예측 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 비디오 센서에서 획득되는 영상의 특성을 반영하여 1차 AR 모델로 비디오 트래픽을 모델링하고 칼만필터 알고리즘을 적용하여 트래픽을 예측한다. 제안하는 방법은 계산량이 많지 않아 센서 노드에 적용되기 적합하다. 실험 결과는 제안하는 방법이 비교적 간단한 형태이지만 전체 평균 트래픽의 1% 이내로 오차로 정확하게 트래픽을 예측하는 것을 보여준다.

An indirect visual SLAM takes raw image data and exploits geometric information such as key-points and line edges. Due to various environmental changes, SLAM performance may decrease. The main problem is caused by dynamic objects especially in highly crowded environments. In this paper, we propose a robust feature-based visual SLAM, building on ORB-SLAM, via multi-channel dynamic objects estimation. An optical flow and deep learning-based object detection algorithm each estimate different types of dynamic object information. Proposed method incorporates two dynamic object information and creates multi-channel dynamic masks. In this method, information on actually moving dynamic objects and potential dynamic objects can be obtained. Finally, dynamic objects included in the masks are removed in feature extraction part. As a results, proposed method can obtain more precise camera poses. The superiority of our ORB-SLAM was verified to compared with conventional ORB-SLAM by the experiment using KITTI odometry dataset.

세계적으로 석면분석방법에 관한 다양한 연구사례가 발표되고 있는 가운데, 분석방법의 차이에 따른 석면함유물질(ACM, Asbestos Containing Material) 결과에 대한 관심이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 균질성이 확보된 ACM 시료를 시야평가법(visual estimation method)과 포인트계수법(point counting method)의 분석결과에 대한 비교 평가를 통하여 분석기관 및 분석자의 신뢰성 향상과 더불어 편광현미경 분석의 기초자료를 확보고자 하였다. 석면분석은 정성분석과 정량분석으로 구분하였으며, 석면정량을 위한 방법은 EPA 600-R-93-116의 시야평가법과 포인트계수법으로 총 400지점을 계수하는 방법으로 실시하였다. 먼저 준비된 시료의 균질성을 분산분석을 이용하여 확인한 결과 이상이 없음을 확인하였다. 정성분석의 결과는 백석면과 갈석면으로 확인되었고 정량분석결과는 포인트계수법이 시야평가법과 비교하여 전체적인 석면함유량이 저평가되는 경향과 함께 포인트계수법은 분석과정이 조금 복잡하고 분석시간이 많이 소요되었다.

The purpose of this study is to grasp visual effects of landscape on window in living space. The visual effects in the 1/3 living room scale models that are different in the dimension of window, the place of window and the landscape through the window is judge using a method of magnitude estimation. In consequence of these experiment, the following results were obtained. 1) The brightness influences the evaluation marks on visual effects of window on living space. 2) The existence of landscape has an effect on a sense of extent for living space. 3) The existence of window in visual field makes a great difference to the visual effects.

In this paper, we propose a method for estimating the pose of the camera using a rectangle feature utilized for the visual SLAM. A warped rectangle feature as a quadrilateral in the image by the perspective transformation is reconstructed by the Coupled Line Camera algorithm. In order to fully reconstruct a rectangle in the real world coordinate, the distance between the features and the camera is needed. The distance in the real world coordinate can be measured by using a stereo camera. Using properties of the line camera, the physical size of the rectangle feature can be induced from the distance. The correspondence between the quadrilateral in the image and the rectangle in the real world coordinate can restore the relative pose between the camera and the feature through obtaining the homography. In order to evaluate the performance, we analyzed the result of proposed method with its reference pose in Gazebo robot simulator.

Many of the current visual odometry algorithms suffer from some extreme limitations such as requiring a high amount of computation time, complex algorithms, and not working in urban environments. In this paper, we present an approach that can solve all the above problems using a single camera. Using a planar motion assumption and Ackermann's principle of motion, we construct the vehicle's motion model as a circular planar motion (2DOF). Then, we adopt a 1-point method to improve the Ransac algorithm and the relative motion estimation. In the Ransac algorithm, we use a 1-point method to generate the hypothesis and then adopt the Levenberg-Marquardt method to minimize the geometric error function and verify inliers. In motion estimation, we combine the 1-point method with a simple least-square minimization solution to handle cases in which only a few feature points are present. The 1-point method is the key to speed up our visual odometry application to real-time systems. Finally, a Bundle Adjustment algorithm is adopted to refine the pose estimation. The results on real datasets in urban dynamic environments demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.

비디오 부호화 기법에서 압축률 및 화질을 결정하는 중요한 부분인 움직임 예측 및 보상(motion estimation and compensation)의 성능을 개선하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 가장 기본적인 움직임 예측 기법인 전역 탐색 방법은 가장 좋은 화질을 보이지만, 현재 프레임의 각 블록과 가장 유사한 블록을 찾기 위하여 탐색영역(search area)내의 모든 점에 대해 탐색을 수행하므로 그 계산량이 매우 많게 된다. 따라서 좋은 화질을 유지하면서 계산량을 낮추기 위한 많은 고속 알고리즘이 제안되었는데, MPEG-4 표준에 채택된 PMVFAST는 움직임 벡터 간의 상관도를 이용하여 계산량을 낮추면서도 전역 탐색 기법에 근접한 화질을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 움직임 벡터의 예측을 위하여 중간값(median) 계산법에 의한 새로운 방법을 제안하고, 이를 이용하여 움직임 예측의 계산량을 획기적으로 줄일 수 있음을 보인다. 실험결과 제안한 알고리즘은 PMVFAST보다 빠르면서도 전역 탐색 기법보다 높은 평균 PNSR을 보인다.

This paper presents an effective single image haze removal using edge-preserving and adaptive transmission estimation to enhance the visibility of outdoor images vulnerable to weather and environmental conditions with computational complexity reduction. The conventional methods involve the time-consuming refinement process. The proposed transmission estimation however does not require the refinement, since it preserves the edges effectively, which selects one between the pixel-based dark channel and the patch-based dark channel in the vicinity of edges. Moreover, we propose an adaptive transmission estimation to improve the visual quality particularly in bright areas like sky. Experimental results with various hazy images represent that the proposed method is superior to the conventional methods in both subjective visual quality and computational complexity. The proposed method can be adopted to compose a haze removal module for realtime devices such as mobile devices, digital cameras, autonomous vehicles, and so on as well as PCs that have enough processing resources.
