Friday,
August 22 at 12:00-1:30 pm / 2:00 -3:00 pm
During the conference, two open labs will be scheduled at from
12:00 to 1:30 pm and 2:00 to 3:00 pm on Friday, August 22. MFI
08 all participants are free to stop by two labs without arrangement.
Research at the ISPL Laboratory is centered
on developing fundamental intelligent algorithms through
advanced modeling, exploiting novel signal processing theory,
and exploring intelligent information processing techniques,
all in an effort to realize the demands of advanced information-technology.
ISPL draws upon a wide range of research experiences as
indicated by the active journal publications in areas such
as image and speech signal processing, data fusion, and
pattern recognition for intelligent and multimodal systems.
Its present vision is focused on developing advanced algorithms
capable of human interactions with intelligent computers
achieved by the integration of multiplicity of interface
technologies including speech, images and motion tracking.
Research areas Speech signal processing - Single and multi microphones based speech enhancement
- Acoustic echo cancellation
- Blind source separation
- Multimodal speech recognition
- Continuous speech recognition
- Real-time lip-synch system
Image signal processing
- Preprocessing and detection
- Motion tracking
- Classification and recognition
- Vision-based robot navigation
- Virtual mouse using space mapping and gesture recognition
- Wide dynamic range for image enhancement
- Defog for image enhancement
The
"Intelligent Robotics Laboratory (IRL)" was established
in 1993 when Dr. Jae-Bok Song joined the Department of Mechanical
Engineering, Korea University. Up to now, more than 300
papers on the mechatronics and robotics fields have been
published on various journals and conferences. Currently,
various researches are being conducted with great enthusiasm.
- Safety mechanisms such as safe joints
and safe links are exploited as important elements of a
safe manipulator which improves both high positioning accuracy
in the normal operation and collision safety in the emergency
condition. They are based on a novel and creative compliance
system for reliable operation.
- “Guardian” is a portable guard robot
designed to patrol in the dangerous environment. It can
be thrown into the dangerous sites where it wanders around,
jumps over obstacles, climbs stairs, and transmits the camera
image to a remote operator.
- An Omnidirectional mobile robot can move
in an arbitrary direction without changing the robot’s heading.
Its motion ability is superior to that of other mobile robots,
and therefore it can be applied to various industry and
entertainment robots.
- Vision-based navigation is becoming an
increasingly viable in mobile robot navigation because a
vision sensor is cheap and its image has rich information.
Various types of virtual features can be extracted and exploited
for navigation.
- Outdoor navigation is required for autonomous
navigation of an UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle). An outdoor
environment is very large and has various uncertainties.
Therefore, multiple sensors should be used simultaneously
to deal with both sensor limitations and environmental uncertainties.
