In this paper, we propose a correcting method of depth pixels which are failed to measure since temporary camera error. A block is modeled to plane and sphere surfaces through measured depth pixels in the block. Depth values in the block are estimated through each modeled surface and a error for the modeled surface is calculated by comparing the original and estimated pixels, then the surface which has the least error is selected. The pixels which are failed to measure are corrected by estimating depth values through selected surface. Simulation results show that the proposed method increases the correction accuracy by an average of 20% compared with the correction method of $5{\times}5$ median method.

In this paper, we propose a method of correcting depth image by the plane modeling and then improving the coding performance. We model a plane by using the least squares method to the horizontal and vertical directions including the target pixel, and then determine that the predicted plane is suitable from the estimate error. After that, we correct the target pixel by the plane mode. The proposed method can correct not only the depth image composed the plane but also the complex depth image. From the simulation result that measures the entropy power, which can estimate the coding performance, we can see that the coding performance by the proposed method is improved up to 80.2%.

MIV(MPEG Immersive Video)의 시험모델 TMIV 는 다시점의 비디오와 깊이(depth) 비디오를 입력 받아 시점 사이의 중복성을 제거한 후 남은 텍스처(texture)와 깊이로 텍스처 아틀라스(atlas)와 깊이 아틀라스를 각각 생성하고 이를 압축한다. 각 화소별 점유(occupancy) 정보는 깊이 아틀라스에 포함되어 압축되는데 압축 손실로 인한 점유맵 오류를 방지하기 위하여 임계값 T = 64 로 설정한 보호대역을 사용한다. 기존에 설정된 임계값을 낮추어 깊이 동적범위를 확대하면 보다 정확한 깊이값 표현으로 부호화 효율을 개선할 수 있지만 보호대역 축소로 점유맵 오류가 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 TMIV 의 부호화기와 보호화기에 비대칭 임계값을 사용하여 보호대역 축소로 인한 점유맵 오류를 보정하면서 보다 정확한 깊이 값 표현을 통하여 부호화 효율을 개선하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안기법은 깊이 동적범위 확대와 비대칭 임계값 기반의 점유맵 오류 보정을 통하여 CG 시퀀스에서 2.2% BD-rate 이득과 주관적 화질 개선을 보인다.

As the education and training is such a virtual environment is applied to various fields, its usability is endless. However, there is an underestimation of the depth of perception in the training environment. In order to solve this problem, we tried to solve the problem by applying the top-down correction method. However, it is difficult to classify the result as a learning effect or perception change. In this study, it was confirmed that the proportion of spatial components of urine had a significant effect on the depth perception, and it was confirmed that the size perception were corrected together. In this study, we propose a correction method using spatial component and depth perception to improve the accuracy of depth perception.

한국지질자원연구원은 1997년부터 새로운 에너지 자원으로 활용 가능성을 포함하고 있는 가스 하이드레이트를 조사하기 위해 동해 일원에서 탄성파탐사를 실시하고 있다. 탄성파 반사 자료로부터 가스 하이드레이트 부존여부를 확인하는 방법은 해저면과 평행하면서 위상이 반대로 나타나는 고진폭 반사파 BSR (Bottom Simulating Reflection)과 BSR상부에서의 진폭감소, 하부에서 진폭증가와 구간속도 감소 등을 들 수 있다. 여기에서는 가스 하이드레이트 탐사자료에 대한 일반자료처리와 함께 BSR을 포함하고 있는 탄성파 반사자료에 대해 코드 병렬화된 PSPI를 이용하여 깊이영역 구조보정을 실시하였다. 고용량 탐사자료로 구성된 탄성파 반사자료에 깊이영역 구조보정을 적용하기 위해서는 고성능 컴퓨터와 병렬처리 기술이 필요하다. PSPI(Phase Shift Plus Interpolation)법은 적은 컴퓨터 계산량과 효율성 그리고 주파수 영역에서 구조적으로 병렬화가 용이한 특성을 지니고 있어 구조보정에 많이 이용되고 있다. 여기에서는 MPI(Message Passing Interface)-LAM을 이용하여 병렬코드화된 PSPI를 개발하고 인공합성모델과 동해 가스 하이드레이트 깊이영역 구조보정에 적응하였다.

Determination of crack depth in filed using the self-calibrating surface wane transmission measurement and the cutting frequency in the transmission function (TRF) is very difficult due to variations of the measurement conditions. In this study, it is proposed to use the measured full TRF as a feature for crack depth assessment. A Principal component analysis (PCA) is employed to generate a basis of the measured TRFs for various crack cases. The measured TRFs are represented by their projections onto the most significant principal components. Then artificial neural networks (NNs) using the PCA-compressed TRFs is applied to assess the crack in concrete. Experimental study is carried out for five different crack cases to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Results reveal that the proposed method can be effectively used for the crack depth assessment of concrete structures.

Surface cracks in concrete are common defects that can cause significant deterioration and failure of concrete structures. Therefore, the early detection, assessment, and repair of the cracks in concrete are very important for the structural health. Among studies for crack depth assessment, self-calibrating surface wave transmission method seems to be a promising nondestructive technique, though it is still difficult in determination of the crack depth due to the variation of the experimentally obtained transmission functions. In this paper, the spectral energy transmission method is proposed for the crack depth estimation in concrete structures. To verify this method, an experimental study was carried out on a concrete slab with various surface-opening crack depths. Finally, effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by comparing the conventional time-of-flight and cutting frequency based methods. The results show an excellent potential as a practical and reliable in-situ nondestructive method for the crack depth estimation in concrete structures.

Recently, fusion camera systems that consist of depth sensors and color cameras have been widely developed with the advent of a new type of sensor, time-of-flight (TOF) depth sensor. The physical limitation of depth sensors usually generates low resolution images compared to corresponding color images. Therefore, the pre-processing module, such as camera calibration, three dimensional warping, and hole filling, is necessary to generate the high resolution depth map that is placed in the image plane of the color image. However, the result of the pre-processing step is usually inaccurate due to errors from the camera calibration and the depth measurement. Therefore, in this paper, we present a depth map upsampling method robust these errors. First, the confidence of the measured depth value is estimated by the interrelation between the color image and the pre-upsampled depth map. Then, the detailed depth map can be generated by the modified kernel regression method which exclude depth values having low confidence. Our proposed algorithm guarantees the high quality result in the presence of the camera calibration errors. Experimental comparison with other data fusion techniques shows the superiority of our proposed method.

The motion recognition system has been broadly studied in digital image and video processing fields. Recently, method using th depth image is used very useful. However, recognition accuracy of depth image based method will be loss caused by size and shape of object distorted for angle of the depth sensor. Therefore, distortion correction of depth sensor is positively necessary for distinguished performance of the recognition system. In this paper, we propose a pre-processing algorithm to improve the motion recognition system. Depth data from depth sensor converted to real world, performed the corrected angle, and then inverse converted to projective world. The proposed system make progress using the OpenCV and the window program, and we test a system using the Kinect in real time. In addition, designed using Verilog-HDL and verified through the Zynq-7000 FPGA Board of Xilinx.

본 논문에서는 결합형 양방향 필터를 이용하여 실시간으로 깊이 영상을 구하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법에서는 Kinect 깊이 카메라로부터 얻은 깊이 영상의 화질을 실시간으로 향상시키기 위해 GPU 내의 상수 메모리와 2차원 영상 처리에 적합한 텍스쳐 메모리를 사용했다. 또한, 단일 화소에 대한 결합형 양방향 필터 연산을 각 GPU 쓰레드(thread)에 할당한 다음 병렬로 처리하여 계산량을 현저히 감소시킨다. 실험 결과를 통해, 제안한 실시간 깊이 영상 보정 방법이 깊이 영상의 화질을 향상시켰고, 초당 260화면의 속도로 동작하는 것을 확인했다.
