- The solution shows panorama image from multi images. The panorama images is processing by real-time stitching algorithm.
- Each cameras has a limited field of view, but the solution can be monitoring large areas from merged into a panorama image.
- The performance is excellent with the following technical configuration.
. real time image processing using GPU.
. Accurate calculation of R, T, K (Rotation, Translation, Camera intrinsic) between each camera with nonlinear optimization
. Color calibration using the exposure blending
- The solution can be applied efficiently and easy in Military Region, tourist attractions, intersections, ports
* Real-time N to 1 stitching algorithm
- Existing stitching algorithm is modified to separate 2 parts of offline and online processing for more efficient realtime processing.
- The Off-Line processing part is calculated first time or if the matching inaccurate.
- On-Line processing part is a routine to create the panoramic image by warping (Warping) calculated by the matching, the blending value.
No ordered input images
- Feature extraction and to calculate the homography matrix between each image by evaluating (RANSAC), and set image position through matching rate.
- To get correct R, T using bundle adjustment
- Searching the overlap region, the blending coefficient is determined with respect to the non-overlapping region.
- Obtained R, T, K, and connected by warping the images and blending and complete the panorama finally

Project period : (2013.09~2013.11)
*Introduction
• Y/T(Yard Trailer) Y/T(Yard Trailer) number identification solution using image processing.
• The solution using camera is easy to installation and maintance compare to the RFID. And It is more free from distance constraint.
• Machine learning methods - SVM (Support Vector Machine), MLP (Multi Layers Perceptron) are used to recognize the number ID
• A high-speed image processing through the GPU parallel programming
*Real-time pre-processing for features extraction
• The process of preprocessing for ID number extraction
-In the first step, we apply different filters, morphological operations, contour algorithms, and validations to retrieve those parts of the image that could have targeted region.
-Especially, we targeted to detect a ventilating opening instead of number ID, because that target is less shape change than the 3 characters of number ID.
*Vehicle Identification
• HOG(Histogram of gradient) feature extraction and SVM machine learning to detect a ventilating opening
• Each segmented character is to extract the features for training and classifying the MLP algorithm
• The feature is horizontal, vertical histogram values from 5x5 low resolution image.
*Experiment
• Recognition rate over the 95%
• Detection speed about 0.05 sec/frame (Image size : 1280x720, Intel® core™ i5-3570 cpu 3.40GHz, NVIDIA Geforce GTX 650)
• The trailer enter speed about 20~30 km/h
