Generating of digital hologram of video contents with computer graphics(CG) requires natural fusion of 3D information between real and virtual. In this paper, we propose the system which can fuse real-virtual 3D information naturally and fast generate the digital hologram of fused results using multiple-GPUs based computer-generated-hologram(CGH) computing part. The system calculates camera projection matrix of RGB-Depth camera, and estimates the 3D information of virtual object. The 3D information of virtual object from projection matrix and real space are transmitted to Z buffer, which can fuse the 3D information, naturally. The fused result in Z buffer is transmitted to multiple-GPUs based CGH computing part. In this part, the digital hologram of fused result can be calculated fast. In experiment, the 3D information of virtual object from proposed system has the mean relative error(MRE) about 0.5138% in relation to real 3D information. In other words, it has the about 99% high-accuracy. In addition, we verify that proposed system can fast generate the digital hologram of fused result by using multiple GPUs based CGH calculation.

3차원 영상을 제작하기 위해서는 여러 시점의 색상 영상과 함께 깊이 정보를 필요로 한다. 하지만 깊이 정보를 얻을 때 사용하는 ToF 카메라는 해상도가 낮으며 적외선 신호의 주파수 문제 때문에 최대 3대까지 사용할 수 있다. 따라서 깊이 정보를 색상 영상과 함께 사용하기 위해서 깊이 정보의 업샘플링이 필수적이다. 업샘플링은 깊이 정보를 색상 카메라 위치로 3차원 워핑하고 결합형 양방향 필터(joint bilateral filter, JBF)를 사용하여 빈 영역을 채우는 방법으로 진행된다. 업샘플링은 오랜 시간이 소요되지만 그래픽스 프로세싱 유닛(graphics processing units, GPU)를 이용하여 빠르게 수행될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중 GPU의 병렬 수행을 통하여 빠르게 다시점 깊이맵을 생성할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 다중 GPU 병렬 수행은 범용 목적 GPU(general purpose computing on GPU, GPGPU) 중의 하나인 CUDA를 이용하였으며, 본 논문에서 제안된 방법을 이용하여 3개의 GPU 사용한 실험 결과 초당 35 프레임의 다시점 깊이맵을 생성했다.

본 논문에서는 허프변환 및 HSV 색변환을 이용한 효율적인 차선검출의 최적화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 차선 검출의 고속화를 위해 차선과 카메라의 위치를 감안하여 고정된 관심영역(ROI_LB)을 정하고 검출 영역을 감소시킨다. 정해진 관심영역 내에서 허프변환을 적용해 차선을 검출하고 이를 위해 Sobel Mask와 Threshold를 사용한다. 또한, HSV 색 공간을 이용하여 황색 선과 백색 선을 구별해내며 차선 이동 시에 "MOVEMENT"이라는 문자열을, 중앙선을 넘어가면 "DANGEROUS"이라는 문자열을 출력한다. 제안하는 방법의 실험 결과는 복잡한 도로 동영상에서 효과적으로 차선을 인식하고 색 구별을 하였으며 제안 방법의 유효성을 검증하기 위해 다양한 실제 차선 패턴을 대상으로 한 실험결과를 제시한다.

In this paper, we propose a method that measures the height and stagger of an catenary using the laser profile images. One line laser and area scanner CCD cameras are used. To quickly and accurately extract, from a photographed image, the area of the overhead line on which the line laser is shone, we consider the established fact that the catenary is the lowest among the electric wires. Here we are solving the the distance to the catenary if we know the distance the camera is from the ground and the angle of the catenary in the field of view. The angle will be related to the number of pixels in the image. This pixels per degree is a constant for the camera. Also, because of the different pixel resolution of the camera according to the overhead line position, we compensate the measurement result through camera calibration.

Maintenance and repair devices used for the inspection of the main parts of domestic railway vehicles have been imported from abroad. Especially, one of the representative domestic devices, the 'Wheel Profile Inspector System (WPIS)', was made by benchmarking foreign devices; this vehicle has been operated in the field. However, problems such as the reliability and performance of the WPIS in operation have appeared. In this study, in order to improve the precision and reliability of the WPIS for maintenance and inspection of railway vehicle wheels, the researchers improved the railway vehicle's WPIS by applying high-speed vision camera technology and an optimized image algorithm. The test results show that the reliability of the developed WPIS improved by approximately 10.4% compared to that of the conventional system.

Motion estimation (ME) that limits the performance of image quality and encoding speed has been developed to reduce temporal redundancy in video sequences and plays an important role in digital video compression. But it is computational demanding part of the encoder. Multi-view video is obtained by capturing one three-dimensional scene with many cameras at different positions. ME for Multi-view video requires high computational complexity. To reduce computational complexity and maintain the image quality, a fast motion estimation method is proposed in this paper. The proposed method uses a hierarchical search strategy. This strategy method consists of modified diamond search patten, multi gird diamond search pattern, and raster search pattern. These search patterns place search points symmetrically and evenly that can cover the overall search area not to fall into the local minimum or exploits the characteristics of the distribution of motion vectors to place the search points. Experiment results show that the speedup improvement of the proposed method over TZ search method (JMVC) can be up to 1.2 ~3 times faster while maintaining similar video quality and bit rates.

We developed a micro UAV based rapid mapping system that provides geospatial information of target areas in a rapid and automatic way. Users can operate the system easily although they are inexperienced in UAV operation and photogrammetric processes. For the aerial data acquisition, we constructed a micro UAV system mounted with a digital camera, a GPS/IMU, and a control board for the sensor integration and synchronization. We also developed a flight planning software and data processing software for the generation of geo-spatial information. The processing software operates automatically with a high speed to perform data quality control, image matching, georeferencing, and orthoimage generation. With the system, we have generated individual ortho-images within 30 minutes from 57 images of 3cm resolution acquired from a target area of $400m{\times}300m$.

For high speed visual inspection in semiconductor industries, it is essential to acquire two-dimensional images on regions of interests with a large field of view (FOV) and a high resolution simultaneously. In this paper, an imaging system is newly proposed to achieve high quality image in terms of precision and FOV, which is composed of single lens, a beam splitter, two camera sensors, and stereo image grabbing board. For simultaneously acquired object images from two camera sensors, Zhang's camera calibration method is applied to calibrate each camera first of all. Secondly, to find a mathematical mapping function between two images acquired from different view cameras, the matching matrix from multiview camera geometry is calculated based on their image homography. Through the image homography, two images are finally registered to secure a large inspection FOV. Here the inspection system of using multiple images from multiple cameras need very fast processing unit for real-time image matching. For this purpose, parallel processing hardware and software are utilized, such as Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA). As a result, we can obtain a matched image from two separated images in real-time. Finally, the acquired homography is evaluated in term of accuracy through a series of experiments, and the obtained results shows the effectiveness of the proposed system and method.
