Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method to reduce the difference in image characteristics when multiple camera images are captured for virtual space production. Sixty-four images were used by cross-mounting eight bodies and lenses, respectively. Image analysis compares and analyzes the standard deviation of the histogram and pixel distribution values. As a result of the analysis, it shows different image characteristics depending on the lens or image sensor, though it is a camera of the same model. In this paper, we have adjusted the distribution of the overall brightness value of the image to compensate for this difference. As a result, the average deviation was the maximum of (Indoor: 6.89, outdoor: 24.23), we obtained images with almost no deviation (Indoor: maximum 0.42, outdoor: maximum: 2.73). In the future, we will study and apply more accurate image analysis methods than image brightness distribution.

본 논문은 가상공간 제작을 위해 다수의 카메라로 영상을 촬영했을 때, 영상 특성 차이를 감소시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 각각 8 개의 본체와 렌즈를 교차 장착하여 64 개의 영상을 사용하였다. 영상 분석은 히스토그램과 픽셀 분포 값의 표준 편차를 분석 비교하였다. 분석결과, 동일 기종의 카메라임에도 불구하고, 렌즈 혹은 이미지 센서에 따라 각각 다른 영상 특성을 보여주었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 차이를 보정하기 위해 영상의 전체 밝기 값의 분포를 조절하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 평균 편차가 최대 (실내 : 6.89, 실외 : 24.23) 이었으나, 시뮬레이션 진행 후 편차가 거의(실내 : 최대 0.42, 실외 : 최대 : 2.73) 없는 영상을 얻었다. 추후에는 영상 밝기 분포보다 정밀한 영상 분석 방법을 연구하고 적용할 것이다.
