This study deals with image-based visual servoing for automatic recharging of mobile robot. Because mobile robot must be recharged periodically, it is necessary to detect and move to docking station. Generally, laser scanner is used for detect of position of docking station. CCD Camera is also used for this purpose. In case of using cameras, the position-based visual servoing method is widely used. But position-based visual servoing method requires the accurate calibration and it is hard and complex work. Another method using cameras is image-based visual servoing. Recently, image based visual servoing is widely used for robotic application. But it has a problem that cannot have linear trajectory in the 3-dimensional space. Because of this weak point, image-based visual servoing has a limit for real application. In case of 2-dimensional movement on the plane, it has also similar problem. In order to solve this problem, we point out the main reason of the problem of the resolved rate control method that has been generally used in the image-based visual servoing and we propose an image-based visual servoing method that can reduce the curved trajectory of mobile robot in the cartesian space.

For the observation of treeing, a visual measurement with an optical microscope has been used to explain breakdown mechanism in high-voltage systems. The conventional directed visual method of tree aging observation is difficult to measure in short time processing, and it is impossible to analyze on tree degradation area, progressed direction, tree pattern, etc. By using an image processing technique, the tree features which appear immediately after the tree initiation as well as changes in the configuration of the tree can be easily measured and observed than using the conventional visual methods. In this paper, we have developed a tree observating system by using image processing for tree growth, degradation area and other treeing progress. As an experimental result, it can be concluded that the image processing method is a more effective alternative than directed visual observation method. As a matter of fact, it is possible to record the image of tree propagation immediately after its first appearance and explain the characteristics of tree growth froth the computer processing image.

본 논문에서는 fMRI를 사용하여 뇌신경 반응을 측정한 후, 자극으로 주어진 $10{\times}10$ 크기의 이진 영상을 사전 정보 없이 복원하기 위해 비음수 행렬 분해를 이용한 자동화된 영상 기저 추출 방법을 제안한다. 영상 기저란 영상을 표현하는 기본 단위로, 기존 연구에서는 사전에 정의된 $1{\times}1$, $2{\times}1$, $1{\times}2$, $2{\times}2$의 크기를 갖는 총 361개의 영상 기저에 반응하는 뇌 신호를 분석하여 기저 영상으로 복원하고, 모든 기저에 대한 복원 결과를 선형 결합하여 최종복원 영상을 획득하였다. 사람이 사전에 정의한 영상 기저를 필요로 하는 기존 연구와는 달리, 본 연구에서는 비음수 행렬 분해를 기반으로 학습 데이터로 주어진 이진 영상을 가장 잘 표현하는 영상 기저를 자동 추출하였다. 자동으로 추출된 영상 기저를 사용하여 이진 영상을 복원한 결과, 기존 연구 방법보다 개선된 복원 정확도를 보였다.

In teleoperating, as seeing the monitor screen obtained from a camera instituted in the working environment, human operator generally controls the slave arm. Because we can see only 2-D image in a monitor, human operator does not know the depth information and can not work with high accuracy. In this paper, we proposed a traded control method using an visual sensor for the purpose of solving this problem. We can control a teleoperation system with precision when we use the proposed algorithm. Not only a human operator command but also an autonomous visual sensor feedback command is given to a slave arm for the purpose of coincidence current image features and target image features. When the slave arm place in a distant place from the target position, human operator can know very well the difference between the desired image features and the current image features, but calculated visual sensor command have big errors. And when the slave arm is near the target position, the state of affairs is changed conversely. With this visual sensor feedback, human does not need coincide the detail difference between the desired image features and the current image features and proposed method can work with higher accuracy than other method without, sensor feedback. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is verified through series of experiments.

In this paper, we proposed an optical encryption method based in the concept of visual cryptography and interferometry. In our method a secret binary image was divided into two sub-images and they were encrypted by 'XOR' operation with a random key mask. Finally each encrypted image was changed into phase mask. By interference of these two phase masks the original image was obtained. Compared with general visual encryption method, this optical method had good signal-to-noise ratio due to no need to generate sub-pixels like visual encryption.

본 논문에서는 영상 콘텐츠 개발에서 원천 기술로 활용되고 있는 스토리텔링 전략에 대해서 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 스토리텔링 구성 방식은 기획, 제작, 편집의 3 단계로 수행된다. 그리고 스토리텔링 전략 방식은 수사학적 비유에 기반하고 있으며 이미지 은유법, 이미지 의인법, 이미지 직유법의 세 가지 형태의 수사학적 비유로 분류된다. 연구를 위해 은유법, 의인법, 직유법을 활용한 영상 각각 1점씩 총 3점을 제작 연구하였다. 연구 결과 영상 콘텐츠는 수사학적 표현으로 영상 콘텐츠의 커뮤니케이션 활동을 위한 시각언어로서 효과를 높일 수 있는 합리적인 방법이 될 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 다양한 비유법에 의한 영상 콘텐츠의 표현 가능성을 인식시키는데 기여할 것으로 본다. 최근 창의적인 영상 콘텐츠의 표현에 대한 관심은 증가하고 있으나 영상 콘텐츠의 창의적 발상을 위한 이론적 연구가 빈약한 실정이다. 그러므로 본 논문은 향후 창의적 영상 콘텐츠의 표현을 위한 기초 자료로서의 활용과 영상콘텐츠 연구와 지도를 위한 기초적 이론으로 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The purpose of this research was to identify the difference between expected and actual corporate image in the market and to verify the possibility of green-oriented corporate identity (CI) visual design as a useful method for communicating with consumers. In addition, this research suggests how green-oriented CI visual design can effectively convey corporate image to consumers. The methods of research used to achieve this aim were case studies and questionnaire surveys. In regard to the results, the difference between consumers'perceived favourable corporate image and companies' expectation about corporate image was found. Moreover, the results show that green-oriented visual identity (VI) design can improve corporate image. In turn, the gap between the expected and actual perception of corporate image can be decreased through green-oriented design. Based on these results, a method of effective development for green-oriented VI design is recommended.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate and review the previous researches about objective measuring fatigue caused by visual stimuli. Also, we analyze possibility of alternative visual fatigue measurement methods using facial expression recognition and gesture recognition. Background: In most previous researches, visual fatigue is commonly measured by survey or interview based subjective method. However, the subjective evaluation methods can be affected by individual feeling's variation or other kinds of stimuli. To solve these problems, signal and image processing based visual fatigue measurement methods have been widely researched. Method: To analyze the signal and image processing based methods, we categorized previous works into three groups such as bio-signal, brainwave, and eye image based methods. Also, the possibility of adopting facial expression or gesture recognition to measure visual fatigue is analyzed. Results: Bio-signal and brainwave based methods have problems because they can be degraded by not only visual stimuli but also the other kinds of external stimuli caused by other sense organs. In eye image based methods, using only single feature such as blink frequency or pupil size also has problem because the single feature can be easily degraded by other kinds of emotions. Conclusion: Multi-modal measurement method is required by fusing several features which are extracted from the bio-signal and image. Also, alternative method using facial expression or gesture recognition can be considered. Application: The objective visual fatigue measurement method can be applied into the fields of quantitative and comparative measurement of visual fatigue of next generation display devices in terms of human factor.

This paper proposes a target tracking algorithm for wheeled mobile robots using in various fields. For the stable tracking, we apply a vision system to a mobile robot which can extract targets through image processing algorithms. Furthermore, this paper presents an algorithm to position the mobile robot at the desired location from the target by estimating its relative position and attitude. We show the problem in the tracking method using the Position-Based Visual Servo(PBVS) control, and propose a tracking method, which can achieve the stable tracking performance by combining the PBVS control with Image-Based Visual Servo(IBVS) control. When the target is located around the outskirt of the camera image, the target can disappear from the field of view. Thus the proposed algorithm combines the control inputs with of the hyperbolic form the switching function to solve this problem. Through both simulations and experiments for the mobile robot we have confirmed that the proposed visual servo control method is able to enhance the stability compared to of the method using only either PBVS or IBVS control method.
