This study proposes a partial-to-partial point cloud registration method based on estimated parameters in photogrammetry and QR code. Some research and development on Generating a 3D map of the workspace by photogrammetric methods have been proposed for the decommissioning work at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Photogrammetry is a method for 3D reconstruction of the location and shape of target objects from many images, and the processing time depends on the number of images. Considering the reconstruction of a large area, the number of images increases, and processing time also increases significantly. To reduce such computational time, this study considers applying SfM-MVS (Structure from Motion and Multi-View Stereo), which is one of the photogrammetry methods, to each segmented image group, aligning each obtained result, integrating them, and creating a model of the entire space. This alignment is called partial-to-partial registration and it is difficult to find the correspondence points for registration. Therefore, we place markers such as QR codes in the target reconstruction space to make it easy to find the correspondence points. We adopt the QR code as a 2D code because it is easy to reconstruct by photogrammetry. In this paper, we discuss the validity of this approach by comparing it with the integrated model using all images applying SfM-MVS. We verify the validation of the proposed method by simulation due to the large number of images and the ease of modifying the environment. The experiment about varying the number of image divisions shows that the reconstruction result from all images is more accurate than the integrated result. However, all of these models have high reconstruction accuracy. Moreover, the accuracy of the integrated model does not depend on the number of divisions.

When performing shape recognition using machine learning from point cloud data, data expansion can be expected to improve accuracy. In this research, we developed a virtual 3D scanner, VCC (Virtual Cloud Creator), that automatically generates data with a distribution close to actual measurement from large-scale point clouds. VCC can generate labeled point cloud data with an appropriate point cloud density from any viewpoint using 3D measured point cloud data and CAD data created from the point cloud data. It was confirmed that shape recognition accuracy was improved by using the augmented data generated by VCC for learning.

In photogrammetry, when each image captures the features of the target object for 3D reconstruction, a more highly accurate 3D reconstruction can be obtained in a shorter time from a small number of images. For this reason, effective images for 3D reconstruction must be selected. We generate test images by constructing a virtual environment and changing the shooting conditions based on the simulation for this image selection. In particular, we focus on linear trajectory shooting, in which the camera moves on a straight rail and obtains images. We verify the 3D reconstruction considering the calculation time reduction based on effective image selection. The experimental result shows that the camera pose estimation can be improved by using images obtained at multiple shooting angles in the case of linear trajectory shooting. The additional experimental result reveals that the calculation time for the reconstruction result is reduced by applying the images selected at regular intervals.

This paper reports on an automatic process for 3D environmental modeling from acquired image sequences. We have studied methods of 3D environment modeling to understand unknown environments. However, 3D environment modeling using acquired image sequences is a time-consuming task. When 3D environment modeling is performed using image sequences acquired in an unknown environment, the generated models do not always produce the expected result. Therefore, we consider that the quality of the generated 3D environment models could be quickly verified by realizing the sequential presentation of the generated models. To verify the effectiveness of the automatic process, we implemented it under different execution environments. Consequently, the automatic process could generate a 3D environment model from acquired image sequences.

画像からの三次元復元において、画像枚数が少なくても、各画像が三次元復元の対象物の特徴を捉えていれば、短時間で高精度な三次元復元を実現できることが知られている。そこで、三次元復元に有効な画像を選択するために、シミュレーションによる仮想環境の構築と撮影条件の変更により、画像選択のためのテストデータを生成することが考えられる。本研究では、直線レール上をカメラが移動して画像を撮影する場合に着目し、この場合における、三次元復元にかかる計算時間短縮を考慮した有効な画像選択条件をシミュレーションにより調査・検証する。

近年、自律的に航行する無人船が活発に研究されており、これらの船の多くは観察や輸送などの無人作業を実行するように設計されている。一方、この研究では通常の船では困難な海底の泥を集めるムーンプール付きの無人船を使用している。地域以来使用する船舶は風による乱れが大きいため、泥抜きの際は定点と方位を維持する必要がある。船にはサイドスラスターが装備されており、定点と船首方位を保持することができる。この研究では、制御方法は固定小数点と方位を維持するために考案され、制御方法は、堅牢なスライディングモード制御に基づいている。提案した制御方法をシミュレーションにより検証し、所望の挙動を確認した。

In this paper, we describe about the development of real time distance measurement system for underwater robot. This system has two laser modules and a monocular camera. Two laser modules set on the monocular camera and two points always see in the camera image. If the distance of camera and the measurement object is near, the distance of two laser points is long. If the distance of camera and measurement object is far, the distance of two laser points is short. By using this relation, the distance of the robot and the measurement object can measure. In addition, this system uses particle filter to be not affected by light. We verify this method by the several experimental results.

核燃料製造プロセスにおいて、臨界安全管理の理由で水分量は重要なパラメータである。将来の商業プラントを考慮すると、迅速で耐久性に優れた水分センサーが必要とされる。我々は物質中の水分を測定するための開口端同軸マイクロ波共振器センサーを開発してきた。このセンサーは半導体素子を持たないため、強い放射線場で使用できる。本論文では、結合剤として水を用いた造粒工程におけるMOX(UO
+PuO)中の水分測定のための予備試験を行った。予備試験では、MOX造粒粉を模擬するために、MOXに近い比誘電率を持ち、顆粒内部に水を保持できる空隙を持つ三酸化タングステン(WO
)造粒粉を用いた。マイクロ波による水分測定の原理は次の通りである。パイレックスビーカに入れたWOを共振器の開口端に置くと、WOと空気との誘電率の違いによる静電容量の変化によって共振周波数がシフトする。さらに、WOによるマイクロ波吸収によって共振曲線のピークが減衰する。それゆえ、周波数シフトまたは減衰のどちらを測定することによってもWO中の水分量を推定できる。これらはトラッキングジェネレータおよびスペクトルアナライザによって測定できる。

The pharyngeal pumping motion to send food to the bowel is a rhythmic movement in . We proposed a computer simulation of the pumping motion to investigate the mechanisms of rhythm phenomena in living organisms. To conduct the simulations we developed a mathematical model of the pharyngeal muscle that corresponds to the actual structure at a muscular level, and which generates the pumping rhythms. Each of 29 cells was modeled as a membrane potential model based on FitzHugh-Nagumo Equations to simulate the internal response. The electrophysiological responses of the pharyngeal muscular cells were measured as an electropharyngeogram (EPG) that records the activities of the pharynx as a signal pattern, including the membrane potentials in multiple cells. We also developed an EPG model that calculated EPG based on the outputs of individual membrane-potential models. We confirmed that our model of the pharynx could generate rhythms similar to the EPG measured from 
.

The pharyngeal pumping motion to send food to bowel is one of rhythmic movements in 
. In the present study we introduce the computer simulation of biological responses to investigate the mechanism of rhythm generation of the pharyngeal muscle. To conduct the simulations, we develop a mathematical model of the pharynx that corresponds to the actual structure at a muscular level and is possible to generate the pumping rhythms. Each of 20 muscular cells was represented as an electrophysiological model that calculates the individual membrane potential to simulate the behavior of membrane potentials and the characteristics of each pharyngeal muscular cell. The connections between individual muscular-cell models were defined based on the actual electrical connections of muscular cells so as to transmit the membrane potentials. To examine whether the proposed model can generate the pumping rhythms in the pharynx, we simulated the electropharyngeogram (EPG), which is caused by the electrophysiological response of muscular cells and is one of the few signals possible to measure. We confirmed that the proposed model could generate rhythms similar to the EPG measured from 
. Moreover, our model could reproduce the EPG of a mutant. This is probably the first study that constructed a mathematical model of pharynx in and successfully simulated its rhythmic signals.
