Abstract

In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for mapping a $360^{\circ}$ circular image to a planar image. The proposed algorithm consists of obtaining size of the planar image, calculating the distance between the camera and the planar image, calculating horizontal angle of camera and planar image, calculating vertical angle between camera and planar image, calculating the position of a pixel that matches pixels in a $360^{\circ}$ circular image to pixels in a planar image. Experiments were performed to evaluate the efficient algorithm for mapping the proposed $360^{\circ}$ circular image to the plane image. The reconstruction rate of the mapped plane image was confirmed 99% and the image quality of the mapped plane image was confirmed 72%. Since the results were higher than the standard values of commercial software, the effectiveness of the algorithm was confirmed.

본 논문에서는 $360^{\circ}$ 원형영상을 평면영상에 매핑하기 위한 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 평면영상의 크기 구하기, 카메라와 평면영상 사이의 각 지점에 따른 거리 계산, 카메라와 평면영상이 수평으로 이루는 각도 산출, 카메라와 평면영상이 수직으로 이루는 각도 산출, $360^{\circ}$ 원형영상의 픽셀들을 평면영상의 픽셀에 매칭시키는 픽셀의 위치 계산 등 5단계로 구성된다. 제안한 $360^{\circ}$ 원형영상을 평면영상에 매핑하기 위한 효율적인 알고리즘을 평가하기 위하여 실험한 결과, 매핑된 평면영상의 복원율은 99%, 매핑된 평면영상의 화질은 72%로서 상용 소프트웨어의 기준치보다 높은 결과를 산출했기 때문에 알고리즘의 효용성이 확인되었다.
