Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for searching and following a target by using stereo vision is provided to detect objects close to a service robot, to present accurate shape of a target with image processing processed by a hardware chip, to reach the target without being collided with other objects by using collected information on surroundings, and to reach the target in a stable manner by matching information collected by stereo vision with original image processing. A method of searching and following a target for an intelligent home service robot includes a step(S110) of collecting commands issued externally; a step(S120) of processing visions for taking images through more than one camera, extracting a distance by calculating a disparity map about objects in the images taken by cameras, and extracting horizontal and vertical sizes on the objects with the extracted distance to sort out a target from objects; and a step(S160) of moving toward a target based on the result of processing visions.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for efficient image information transmission of an intelligent service robot system through using stereo vision processing are provided to transmit information, collected by a robot, to a server party for processing the collected information in consideration of loads of a network. A vision processor(100) collects videos photographed through cameras. With respect to the collected videos, the vision processor performs video processing for minimizing the amount of information about regions except an active region necessary for video processing in a robot server(20) for processing data transmitted from a robot terminal in a ubiquitous robot system. A communication unit(300) performs communication with the robot server, transmits the video information processed by the vision processor to the robot server and receives the processed result information from the robot server. A controller(200) controls the video processing by the vision processor, transmission of the processed video and operations of the robot terminal corresponding to the result information received from the robot server.

PURPOSE: A camera image evaluation and correction method for stereo matching and a stereo camera system using the same are provided to offer right/left images for stereo matching which is properly controlled on the basis of the human. CONSTITUTION: A right and left motion vector separator(360) separates right and left motion vectors. A human detector(370) creates a left ROI(Region Of Interest) area and a right ROI area in a left image motion vector and a right image motion vector. An ROI representative value extractor(380) extracts a representative value in the left ROI image of the left ROI area and the right ROI image of the right ROI area.

PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for real-time face detection using a stereo vision are provided to perform face detection in foreground including face pattern from whole video by stereo vision processor thereby widely reducing face detection processing time. CONSTITUTION: A vision processing unit(320) calculates distance information by usage of a plurality of images including face pattern. Based on the distance information, the vision processing unit divides foreground image including the face pattern and background image not including the face pattern. According to distance information, a face detection unit(330) adjusts video size of the foreground image. The face detection unit detects the face pattern from adjusted foreground image.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A user recognition device and a user recognition method are provided to use a walking pattern as ID information of a user, thereby improving a recognition rate of the user through simple configuration. CONSTITUTION: A sensing unit(110) senses vibration due to walking of a user to output an electrical signal. A pattern calculator(130) obtains a walking pattern of a pedestrian from the electrical signal. A user decider(150) compares the walking pattern with reference date. The user decider identifies a user based on the comparison result.
