Abstract

Vehicle Black Box (Event Data Recorder EDR) only recognizes the general surrounding environments of load. In addition, general EDR is difficult to recognize the images of a sudden illumination change. It appears that the lens is being a severe distortion. Therefore, general EDR does not provide the clues of the circumstances of the accident. To solve this problem, we estimate the value of Normalized Luminance Descriptor(NLD) and Normalized Contrast Descriptor(NCD). Illumination change is corrected using Normalized Image Quality(NIQ). Second, we are corrected lens distortion using model of Field Of View(FOV) based on designed method of fisheye lens. As a result, we propose integration algorithm of two methods that correct distortions of images using each Gamma Correction and Lens Correction in parallel.

자동차용 영상 사고기록장치(블랙박스)는 도로위의 일반적인 상황만을 촬영하게 된다. 또한, 급격한 조도변화의 상황에서는 주위의 환경을 제대로 인식하기 어렵고 렌즈 자체의 왜곡이 매우 심하기 때문에 사고 발생 시 명확한 증거로 사용하기 어렵다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 첫 번째 방법으로 정규화된 밝기 정보의 수표현자인 NLD(Normalized Luminance Descriptor)값과 정규화된 명암정보의 수표현자인 NCD(Normalized Contrast Descriptor)값을 정의하여 추출하고 두 값의 관계를 갖는 영상의 수표현자인 NIQ(Normalized Image Quality)값을 사용하여 급격한 조도변화에 대응하였다. 두 번째로, 어안렌즈가 디자인되는 방법을 기본으로 하는 FOV(Field Of View)모델을 이용하여 렌즈의 왜곡을 보정한다. 결과적으로 두 가지 영상왜곡은 각각 감마보정 및 렌즈왜곡보정의 영상처리 기법을 사용하여 병렬로 처리한 후 이를 하나의 영상으로 통합하는 알고리즘을 제안한다.
