In this paper, we propose the algorithm that automatically measures the height of the object to move on the base plane by using the geometric information. To extract a moving object from real-time images creates the background image and each pixel is modeled by the three values. The extracted region is represented by cardboard model and calculates the coordinate center in the each part. The top and bottom point of an object are extracted by the calculated coordinate center and an iterative computation. The two points, top and bottom, are used for measuring the height. Given the vanishing line of the ground plane, the vertical vanishing point, and at least one reference height in the scene; then the height of any point from the ground may be computed by specifying the image of the point and the image of the vertical intersection with the ground plane at that point. Through a confidence valuation of the height to be measured, we confirmed similar actual height and result in the simulation experiment.

본 논문은 영상에서 형태적 정보를 추출하는데 사용되는 수학적 형태학(mathematical morphology)에 퍼지 집합 이론을 적용하여 새로운 퍼지 수학적 형태학을 제안한다. 일반적인 수학적 형태학은 이진 영상에만 적용되는 한계를 가지고 있었다. 이를 그레이 스케일 영상에도 적용 가능하도록 한 Sinha와 Dougherty[8]이 제안한 방법도 기하학적 형태 변환을 보장하지 못하는 결점이 있었는데 본 논문에서는 그 결점을 제거하는 새로운 수축(erosion)과 확장(dilation) 연산을 정의하고 그 특성을 연구하였다. 본 논문이 제안한 방법과 [8]의 방법을 실제 영상에 대한 실험으로 비교하였다.

Modeling from images is a cost-effective means of obtaining 3D geometric models. These models can be effectively constructed from classical Structure from Motion algorithm. However, it's too difficult to reconstruct whole scenes using SFM method since general sites contain a very complex shapes and brilliant colours. To overcome this difficulty, the current paper proposes a new reconstruction method based on a moving Planar mirror. We devise the mirror posture instead of scene itself as a cue for reconstructing the geometry That implies that the geometric cues are inserted into the scene by compulsion. With this method, we can obtain the geometric details regardless of the scene complexity. For this purpose, we first capture image sequences through the moving mirror containing the interested scene, and then calibrate the camera through the mirror's posture. Since the calibration results are still inaccurate due to the detection error, the camera pose is revised using frame-correspondence of the comer points that are easily obtained using the initial camera posture. Finally, 3D information is computed from a set of calibrated image sequences. We validate our approach with a set of experiments on some complex objects.

본 논문은 이산 곡률을 확장된 QEM(Quadric Error Metrics)으로 변환한 새로운 메쉬 간략화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이산 곡률이란 이산적인 표면으로 구성된 메쉬 표면의 곡률이며, 기하학 정보만을 이용하여 계산 가능하다. QEM은 간략화 오차를 평면과 한 점과의 거리 제곱의 합인 이차식으로 표현함으로써 빠른 간략화를 수행한다. 본 논문은 모서리 간략화 수행 시의 새로운 점과 주변 평면과의 거리 뿐만 아니라, 그 점에서의 이산 곡률을 계산한다. 즉, 간략화 오차에 거리와 곡률을 함께 고려하여 이차식으로 표현함으로써 빠르고 높은 품질의 간략화가 수행 가능하다.

In order to utilize remote sensed images effectively, it is necessary to correct geometric distortion. Geometric correction is a critical step to remove geometric distortions in satellite images. For geometric correction, Ground Control Points (GCPs) have to be chosen carefully to guarantee the quality of geocoded satellite images, digital maps, GPS surveying or other data. Traditional approach to geometric correction used GCPs requires substantial human operations. Also that is necessary much time and manpower. In this paper, we presented an on-line automatic geometric correction by constructing GCP Chip database. The Proposed on-line automatic geometric correction system is consists of four part. Input image, control the GCP Chip, revision of selected GCP, and output setting part. In conclusion, developed system reduced the processing time and energy for tedious manual geometric correction and promoted usage of Landsat imagery.

In the latest medical world, the attempt of reconstructing anatomical human body system using computer graphics technology awakes people's interests. Actually, this trial has been made in dentistry too. There are a lot of practicable technology fields using computer graphics in dentistry For example, 3D visualization and measurement of dental data, detection of implant location, surface reconstruction for restoring artificial teeth in prostheses and relocation of teeth in orthodontics can be applied. In this paper, we propose methods for definitely detecting the geometric features of teeth such as cusp, ridge, fissure and pit, which have been used as most important characteristics in dental applications. The proposed methods are based on the approximate curvatures that are measured on a 3D tooth model made by scanning an impression. We also give examples of the geometric features detected by using the proposed methods. Comparing to other traditional methods visually, the methods are very useful in detecting more accurate geometric features.

The first Korean geostationary weather satellite, Communications, Oceanography and Meteorology Satellite (COMS) will be launched in 2008. The ground station for COMS needs to perform geometric correction to improve accuracy of satellite image data and to broadcast geometrically corrected images to users within 30 minutes after image acquisition. For such a requirement, we developed automated and fast geometric correction techniques. For this, we generated control points automatically by matching images against coastline data and by applying a robust estimation called RANSAC. We used GSHHS (Global Self-consistent Hierarchical High-resolution Shoreline) shoreline database to construct 211 landmark chips. We detected clouds within the images and applied matching to cloud-free sub images. When matching visible channels, we selected sub images located in day-time. We tested the algorithm with GOES-9 images. Control points were generated by matching channel 1 and channel 2 images of GOES against the 211 landmark chips. The RANSAC correctly removed outliers from being selected as control points. The accuracy of sensor models established using the automated control points were in the range of $1{\sim}2$ pixels. Geometric correction was performed and the performance was visually inspected by projecting coastline onto the geometrically corrected images. The total processing time for matching, RANSAC and geometric correction was around 4 minutes.

Because satellite images have the advantage of high resolution, multi-spectral, revisit and wide swath characteristics, it is increased to utilize satellite image and get information little by little in nowadays. In order to utilize remote sensed images effectively, it is necessary to process satellite images through many processing steps. Among them, geometric correction is essential step for satellite image processing. In this study, we constructed geometric correction data using LANDSAT satellite images. First, we extracted GCPs from maps and constructed database over the Korean peninsular. Second, LANDSAT satellite images, 165 scenes were corrected geometrically using GCP database. Finally, we made 7 mosaic images by means of geometric correction images over Korean peninsular. We think that constructed geometric correction data will be used for many application fields as basic data.

SAR imagery can overcome the limitations of electro-optical sensor imagery and provide us Information which plays a supplementary role. But it is necessary to remove a variety of geometric errors in SAR imagery. An accurate geometric correction of SAR imagery is not easy task to achieve, though some techniques and theories are introduced. We also have difficulties such as transformation problem between 'International' ellipsoid in Radarsat system and 'Bessel' ellipsoid. Two widely used correction method, one is made by simulated image, and the other by collinearity equation, usually use DEM. In this study, the merits and demerits of geocoding methods respectively and the effective method for Korean terrain were found.
