Abstract

To organize training in limited training area for an actuai combat, realistic training simulation plugged in by various battle conditions is essential. In this paper, we propose a virtual target overlay technique which does not use a virtual image, but Projects a virtual target on ground-based CCD image by appointed scenario for a realistic training simulation. In the proposed method, we create a realistic 3D model (for an instructor) by using high resolution Geographic Tag Image File Format(GeoTIFF) satellite image and Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED), and extract the road area from a given CCD image (for both an instructor and a trainee). Satellite images and ground-based sensor images have many differences in observation position, resolution, and scale, thus yielding many difficulties in feature-based matching. Hence, we propose a moving synchronization technique that projects the target on the sensor image according to the marked moving path on 3D satellite image by applying Thin-Plate Spline(TPS) interpolation function, which is an image warping function, on the two given sets of corresponding control point pair. To show the experimental result of the proposed method, we employed two Pentium4 1.8MHz personal computer systems equipped with 512MBs of RAM, and the satellite and sensor images of Daejoen area are also been utilized. The experimental result revealed the effective-ness of proposed algorithm.

제한된 훈련장안에서 실전에 대비한 훈련이 되려면, 다양한 전투상황이 부여된 현실감 있는 모의훈련이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 현실감 있는 모의훈련을 위해 가상영상이 아닌 지상기반 CCD 카메라영상에 지정된 시나리오대로 가상표적을 전시하는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 고해상도 GeoTIFF(Geographic Tag Image File Format) 위성 영상과 DTED(Digital Terrain Elevation Data)를 이용하여 현실감 있는 3차원 모델을 생성(운용자용)하고, 입력된 CCD 영상(운용자, 훈련자용)으로부터 도로를 추출하였다. 위성영상과 지상기반 센서영상은 관측위치, 분해능, 스케일 등에 많은 차이가 있어 특징기반 정합이 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 영상 워핑함수인 TPS(Thin-Plate Spline) 보간 함수를 일치하는 두개의 제어점 집합에 적용하여 3차원 모델에 표시된 이동경로를 따라 CCD 영상에서도 표적이 전시되는 이동 동기화 방법을 제안하였다. 실험환경은 Pentium4 1.8MHz(RAM 512M)의 PC 2대를 사용하였으며, 실험 영상은 대전지역의 위성영상과 CCD 영상을 이용, 제안한 알고리즘의 유효성을 입증하였다.
