본 논문에서는 고해상도 비디오를 위한 프레임 레이트 변환 방법을 제시한다. 서로 다른 방식이나 포맷을 가진 영상 신호를 변환할 때에는 시각적으로 거슬리는 움직임 지터(motion jitter)나 영상의 모서리에서의 블러링(blurring) 현상이 일어날 수 있다. 제시하는 방법에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 양방향 움직임 추정/보상을 이용하여 프레임 레이트를 증가 변환한다. 또한 보다 정확한 움직임 벡터를 찾기 위해 다중 프레임을 통한 양방향 탐색 방법을 제안한다. 먼저, 픽셀 값을 알고 있는 현재 프레임과 이전 프레임간의 움직임 벡터를 이용하여 양방향 움직임 벡터를 얻는다. 얻은 움직임 벡터는 벡터 스무딩 블록을 거친다. 그 후 OBMC(Overlapped Block Motion Compensation)를 이용하여 보간 프레임을 구성한다. 실험 결과는 기존 방법들보다 제안 방법이 주관적 화질 면에서 우수함을 나타낸다.

In the bomb impact test, to acquire the bomb impact point location the high-priced embedded equipments such as the Bomb Scoring System or the EOTS are needed. Recently, a high-resolution image processing could be possible since the resolution of the commercial camera is growing rapidly. In this paper we first propose an image transformation method for acquiring the real bomb impact image using a high-resolution commercial camera, and then present the process calculating the real bomb impact point location coordinate from the transformed image. Based on the experimental results we found the possibilities that the real bomb impact point information could be effectively earned just using the commercial camera.

As recently, high-resolution satellite images of 1m spatial resolution are opened to the public and able to be used commercially, the studies that make ortho-images using them and apply to digital mapping and database of geo-spatial information system are having been progressed actively. Therefore, the purposes of this study are to establish the auto-extraction methods and to develope algorithms for automatically extracting buildings out of man-made structures, after making the IKONOS ortho-image. As the result of this study, we can extract buildings automatically at 72% out of the whole buildings. And we have analyzed the error trend by means of the comparison with ortho-image, digital map and drawing result, then we could know that obtain the good result for extraction of the building through the methods and algorithms of this study.

The High-resolution satellite images are able to get the latest information of wide range area and to shorten updating cycle of digital map better than the aerial images. Especially, as high-resolution satellite images are opened to public recently and able to be used commercially, the studies that make ortho-images using them and apply to the digital mapping and the database of geo-spatial information system are having been progressed actively. Therefore, the purposes of this study are to establish the auto-extraction methods and to develop algorithms for automatically extracting buildings which are distributed very much in urban areas and which updating cycle needs to shorten, out of man-made structures in the IKONOS ortho-image with 1m spatial resolution. The result of this study, we can extract automatically extract 72% out of the whole buildings. And we could know that the methods and algorithms proposed in this study are good relatively analyzing the error trend by means of the comparison with ortho-image, digital map and hawing result.

The spread of satellite image increases various services using it. Especially, 3D visualization services of the whole earth such as $Google\;Earth^{TM}$ and $Virtual\;Earth^{TM}$ or 3D GIS services for several cities provide realistic geometry information of buildings and terrain of wide areas. These service can be used in the various fields such as urban planning, improvement of roads, entertainment, military simulation and emergency response. The research about extracting the building and terrain information effectively from the high-resolution satellite image is required. In this paper, presents a system for effective extraction of the building model from a single high-resolution satellite image, after examine requirements for building model extraction. The proposed system utilizes geometric features of satellite image and the geometric relationship among the building, the shadow of the building, the positions of the sun and the satellite to minimize user interaction. Finally, after extracting the 3D building, the fact that effective extraction of the model from single high-resolution satellite will be show.

In this paper, we propose a new scheme to generate region-of-interest (ROI) enhanced depth maps in the hybrid camera system, which is composed of a low-resolution depth camera and a high-resolution stereoscopic camera. The proposed method creates an ROI depth map for the left image by carrying out a three-dimensional (3-D) warping operation onto the depth information obtained from the depth camera. Then, we generate a background depth map for the left image by applying a stereo matching algorithm onto the left and right images captured by the stereoscopic camera. Finally, we merge the ROI map with the background one to create the final depth map. The proposed method provides higher quality depth information on ROI than the previous methods.

Recently, the use of high-resolution satellites is increasing in many areas. In order to supply useful satellite images stably, it is necessary to establish automatic precision geometric correction technic. Geometric correction is the process that corrected geometric errors of satellite imagery based on the GCP (Ground Control Point), which is correspondence point between accurate ground coordinates and image coordinates. Therefore, in the automatic geometric correction process, it is the key to acquire high-quality GCPs automatically. In this paper, we proposed iterative precision geometry correction method. we constructed an image pyramid and repeatedly performed GCP chip matching, outlier detection, and precision sensor modeling in each layer of the image pyramid. Through this method, we were able to acquire high-quality GCPs automatically. we then improved the performance of geometric correction of high-resolution satellite images. To analyze the performance of the proposed method, we used KOMPSAT-3 and 3A Level 1R 8 scenes. As a result of the experiment, the proposed method showed the geometric correction accuracy of 1.5 pixels on average and a maximum of 2 pixels.

With the recent increase in available high-resolution (< ~1 m) satellite SAR images, the demand for precise registration of SAR images is increasing in various fields including change detection. The registration between high-resolution SAR images acquired in different look angle is difficult due to speckle noise and geometric distortion caused by the characteristics of SAR images. In this study, registration is performed in two stages, coarse and fine, using the x-band SAR data imaged at staring spotlight mode of TerraSAR-X. For the coarse registration, a method combining the adaptive sampling method and SAR-SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) is applied, and three rigid methods (NCC: Normalized Cross Correlation, Phase Congruency-NCC, MI: Mutual Information) and one non-rigid (Gefolki: Geoscience extended Flow Optical Flow Lucas-Kanade Iterative), for the fine registration stage, was performed for performance comparison. The results were compared by using RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) and FSIM (Feature Similarity) index, and all rigid models showed poor results in all image combinations. It is confirmed that the rigid models have a large registration error in the rugged terrain area. As a result of applying the Gefolki algorithm, it was confirmed that the RMSE of Gefolki showed the best result as a 1~3 pixels, and the FSIM index also obtained a higher value than 0.02~0.03 compared to other rigid methods. It was confirmed that the mis-registration due to terrain effect could be sufficiently reduced by the Gefolki algorithm.

본 논문에서는 개선된 고속의 Back Projection 기법과 에지맵 보간을 이용한 단일영상 기반의 초해상도(super resolution) 영상을 생성하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 영상의 색채 왜곡을 방지하기 위해 RGB 컬러 도메인에서 HSV 컬러 도메인으로 변경하여 밝기정보인 V만 이용한다. 먼저 잡음제거와 속도 향상을 위해 개선된 고속 back projection을 이용해 영상을 확대 재구성한다. 이와 함께 LoG(laplacian of gaussian) 필터링을 이용하여 에지 맵을 추출한다. 에지의 정보와 back projection의 결과를 이용하여 고해상도 영상을 재구성한다. 제안하는 알고리즘을 이용하여 복원한 영상은 부자연스러운 인공물을 효과적으로 제거하고, blur현상을 줄여 에지 정보를 보정하고 강조해준다. 또한 실험을 통해 제안하는 알고리즘이 기존의 보간법과 전통적인 back projection 결과보다 주관적인 화질이 우수하고 객관적으로 우수한 성능을 나타내는 것을 입증한다.
