Landmark matching is one of an important algorithm for navigation of satellite images. This paper proposes a fast landmark matching algorithm using a MGLI (Moving Guide-Line Image). For searching the matched point between the landmark chip and a part of image, correlation matrix is used generally, but the full-sized correlation matrix has a drawback requiring plenty of time for matching point calculation. MGLI includes thick lines for fast calculation of correlation matrix. In the MGLI, width of the thick lines should be determined by satellite position changes and navigation error range. For the fast landmark matching, the MGLI provides guided line for a landmark chip we want to match, so that the proposed method should reduce candidate areas for correlation matrix calculation. This paper will show how much time is reduced in the proposed fast landmark matching algorithm compared to general ones.

This paper presents the results of research on hardware and software of the landmark tracking system to the positions of moving robot in real time. The landmark tracking system is composed of CCD camera, landmark, strobo system and image processing board. The algorithm calculates the position and direction by using the coordinate transformation fomula after calculating the centroid and rotation angle of landmark at fixed position using the image data. The experiment is performed with landmark tracking system is loaded on xyz-table. XYZ-table is used for identifying the true position in our experiment. The results shows that this system has high performance with maxima error of .+-.1 pixels.

This paper addresses an underwater landmark for updating UUV positioning information. A method is proposed in which the landmark's cubic shape and edge are recognized. The reliability, installation load, and management of landmark design were taken into consideration in order to assess practical applications of the landmark. Landmark recognition was based on topological features. The straight line recognition confirmed the landmark's location and enabled an UUV to accurately estimated its underwater position with respect to the landmark. An efficient recognition method is proposed, which provides real-time processing with limited UUV computing power. An underwater experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the proposed method's reliability and accuracy.

As one of the most interesting scenes, landmarks constitute a large percentage of the vast amount of scene images available on the web. On the other hand, a specific "landmark" usually has some characteristics that distinguish it from surrounding scenes and other landmarks. These two observations make the task of accurately estimating geographic information from a landmark image necessary and feasible. In this paper, we propose a method to identify landmark location by means of landmark recognition in view of significant viewpoint, illumination and temporal variations. We use GPS-based clustering to form groups for different landmarks in the image dataset. The images in each group rather fully express the possible views of the corresponding landmark. We then use a combination of edge and color histogram to match query to database images. Initial experiments with Zubud database and our collected landmark images show that is feasible.

This paper proposes an efficient method to locate the automated guided vehicle (AGV) into a specific parking position using artificial visual landmark and vision-based algorithm. The landmark has comer features and a HSI color arrangement for robustness against illuminant variation. The landmark is attached to left of a parking spot under a crane. For parking, an AGV detects the landmark with CCD camera fixed to the AGV using Harris comer detector and matching descriptors of the comer features. After detecting the landmark, the AGV tracks the landmark using pyramidal Lucas-Kanade feature tracker and a refinement process. Then, the AGV decreases its speed and aligns its longitudinal position with the center of the landmark. The experiments showed the AGV parked accurately at the parking spot with small standard deviation of error under bright illumination and dark illumination.

In this paper, we proposed a new FMS Landmark recognition algorithm using color images. Firstly, a NTSC image fame is captured, and then it is converted to a field image in order to reduce the image blurring from the AGV motion. Secondly, the landmark is detected via the comparison of the color vectors of image pixels with the landmark color. Finally, the identification of FMS landmark is executed using a newly designed landmark pattern with a set of reference points. The landmark pattern is normalized against its translation, rotation, and scaling. And then, its vertical projection data are fisted for the pattern classification using the standard data set. Experimental results show that our scheme performs well.

본 논문에서는 이동 로봇의 자기 위치 추(self-localization)을 위해 간단하고 효육적인 컬러 표식 모델과 추적 기법을 제안하고, 제안된 표식을 이용한 위치 추정 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 표식모델은 대칭적이고 반복적인 컬러 패턴을 갖는데. 이러한 기하학적 형태로 인해 표식 모델은 기하학적 변형이나 광학적 변형에 대해 불변인 히스토그램 특성을 나타낸다. 이러한 특징을 영상 내 표식 검출 및 추적을 위한 유사 척도로 사용하고 컨데세이션(CONDENSATION)에 기반한 확률적 접근 방식을 통해 복잡한 환경 하에서도 표식 모델을 강인하게 추적할 수 있다. 표식 모델이 검출된 후에는 표식이 갖는 기하작적 정보를 이용하여 이동 로봇과표식간의 상대적인 위치를 정확하게 추정한다.

This paper describes a robust landmark matching method to reduce ambiguity of candidate of landmark. General robot system acquires the candidate of landmark through vision sensor in outdoor environment. Our robot uses the omnidirectional vision system to get all around the view. Thus, the robot obtains more candidates of landmark than the conventional vision system. To obtain the candidates of landmark, robot uses the two types of feature. They are vertical edge and merged region of vertical edges. The former is to extract the vertical line of building, street lamp, etc. The latter is to reduce ambiguity of vertical edge in similar region. It is difficult to match the candidates of landmark...

Landmark Spots in 2D gel electrophoresis are used in many methods of 2DEG spot matching. Landmark Spots are obtained manually and it is a bottle neck in the entire protein analysis process. Automated landmark spots detection is a very crucial topic in processing a massive amount of 2DGE data. In this paper, Automated landmark spot detection is proposed using point pattern matching and graph theory. Neighbor spots are defined by a graph theory to use and only a centered spot and its neighbor spots are considered for spot matching. Normalized Hausdorff distance is introduced as a criterion for measuring degree of similarity. In the conclusion, the method proposed in this paper can get about 50% of the total spot pairs and the accuracy rate is almost 100%, which the requirements of landmark spots are fully satisfied.

본 논문에서는 보다 정확한 물체 인식을 위하여 물체의 특징점 검출 시스템을 제안한다. 물체의 특징점 검출 시스템은 학습 단계와 검출 단계로 구분된다. 학습 단계에서는 각 특징점의 탐색영역을 설정하기 위한 관심영역모델과 탐색영역에서 특징점을 검출하기 위한 각 특징점별 검출기를 생성한다. 검출 단계에서는 학습 단계에서 생성했던 관심영역모델을 이용하여 입력 영상에서 각각의 특징점의 탐색영역을 설정한다. 시스템에서 검출하고자 하는 특징점 검출 방법은 고속 푸리에 변환을 이용하기 때문에 검출 속도가 빠르며 물체의 추적 시 실패하는 확률이 낮아진다. 제안하는 방법을 개발하여 실험 영상에 적용한 결과 추적하고자 하는 물체가 불규칙적인 속도로 움직일 때에도 안정적으로 추적함을 알 수 있었다. 실험 결과는 기존의 방법들에서 사용되었던 다양한 데이터 집합에 적용하였을 때 우수한 성능을 보여준다.
