Since a standard lens has small sight angle, a fish-eye lens can be used in order to obtain wide sight angle for the robot vision system. In spite of the advantage, the image through the lens has variable resolution; the central information of the lens is of high resolution, but the peripheral information is of low resolution. Owing to this difference of resolution, the variable resolution image should be transformed to a uniform resolution image in order to determine the positions of the objects in the image. In this work, the correction method for the distorted image is presented and the performance is analyzed. Furthermore, the camera with a fish eye lens can be used to determine the real world coordinates. The performance is shown through experiments.

In this paper, we improve pre-processing method using markers and propose accurate lattice extraction of elemental image array using minimal markers to correct distortion. We propose a method that almost equal performance of existing method and be more simple calculation. For our method, we did computational experiments and compared with reconstructed images.

The development of digital camera and advancement of computer processor could simplify the acquisition and the analysis of digial image, and be the real-time processing by the digital photogrammetry. This study is about to enhancement of the image measuring accuracy by the centroid methods. We were able to determine more effective centroid measuring methods and suitable target shape as the development of analysis system and actualize semi-automatic measuring of digital image. And we can supply the weakness of non-metric camera for the geometric internal accuracy of digital image as the correct of Kodak DCS200 camera 8008s lens distortion.

This paper proposes a coordinate correction technique using the transformation of 3D parabolic coordinate function and BP(Back Propagation) neural network in order to solve space distortion problem caused by using catadioptric camera. Although Catadioptric camera can obtain omni-directional image at all directions of 360 degrees, it makes an image distorted because of an external form of lens itself. Accordingly, To obtain transformed ideal distance coordinate information from distorted image on 3 dimensional space, we use coordinate transformation function that uses coordinates of a focus at mirror in the shape of parabolic plane and another one which projected into the shape of parabolic from input image. An error of this course is modified by BP neural network algorithm.

본 연구에서는 Rolleiflex 6006 측정용 카메라로 촬영된 사진과 DCS 420 디지털 카메라로부터 촬영된 화상을 이용, 수치근접사진측량을 실시한 후, 조경석의 표면 거칠기 측정 정확도 향상을 위하여 최소제곱법으로 기준평면 또는 기준곡면을 찾아 사용하는 방법을 연구하였으며, 조경석 표면의 연마 이전과 연마 이후의 표면 거칠기를 측정, 비교하여 연마후의 거칠기 감소크기를 산출하고, 측정 정확도를 알아보기 위하여 거칠기가 거의 없는 평면인 돌과 곡면인 돌의 표면 거칠기를 측정한 결과, 그 거칠기를 기대정확도 이상인 각각 $\pm$0.lmm 및 $\pm$0.2mm의 정확도로 측정할 수 있었다. 또한 측정용 카메라인 경우 렌즈왜곡 보정에 있어서 검정자료를 토대로 기준점을 사용하지 않는 직접보정방법인 Newton-Raphson법을 적용하여 기하학적 정확도가 향상된 수치사진화상을 얻을 수 있었으며, DCS 420 디지털 카메라와 윈도우 운영체계인 Visual basic 6.0을 이용하여, 표면 거칠기 측정시스템을 구축함으로써 연마이전 조경석과 연마이후 조경석에 대한 표면 거칠기 및 형상을 정밀 측정할 수 있는 수치근접사진측량기법을 제시할 수 있었다.

Most of vehicle detection studies using the existing general lens or wide-angle lens have a blind spot in the rear detection situation, the image is vulnerable to noise and a variety of external environments. In this paper, we propose a method that is detection in harsh external environment with noise, blind spots, etc. First, using a fish-eye lens will help minimize blind spots compared to the wide-angle lens. When angle of the lens is growing because nonlinear radial distortion also increase, calibration was used after initializing and optimizing the distortion constant in order to ensure accuracy. In addition, the original image was analyzed along with calibration to remove fog and calibrate brightness and thereby enable detection even when visibility is obstructed due to light and dark adaptations from foggy situations or sudden changes in illumination. Fog removal generally takes a considerably significant amount of time to calculate. Thus in order to reduce the calculation time, remove the fog used the major fog removal algorithm Dark Channel Prior. While Gamma Correction was used to calibrate brightness, a brightness and contrast evaluation was conducted on the image in order to determine the Gamma Value needed for correction. The evaluation used only a part instead of the entirety of the image in order to reduce the time allotted to calculation. When the brightness and contrast values were calculated, those values were used to decided Gamma value and to correct the entire image. The brightness correction and fog removal were processed in parallel, and the images were registered as a single image to minimize the calculation time needed for all the processes. Then the feature extraction method HOG was used to detect the vehicle in the corrected image. As a result, it took 0.064 seconds per frame to detect the vehicle using image correction as proposed herein, which showed a 7.5% improvement in detection rate compared to the existing vehicle detection method.

There are many research results about a self-localization technique of mobile robot. In this paper we present a self-localization technique based on the features of ceiling vision using a fisheye lens. The features obtained by SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) can be used to be matched between the previous image and the current image and then its optimal function is derived. The fisheye lens causes some distortion on its images naturally. So it must be calibrated by some algorithm. We here propose some methods for calibration of distorted images and design of a geometric fitness model. The proposed method is applied to laboratory and aile environment. We show its feasibility at some indoor environment.

The three dimensional information is extracted and visualized using by stereo images of the object and the method for a 3D stereoscopic image is presented by the vergence control algorithm. The matching, which is applied a undistortion of lens and the energy function, is executed for the efficient extraction three dimensional information. Especially, applying the optimized method of matched line to the multi direction of the disparity imges. The disadvantages of multi directional method and reliability expansion method is collected. The matched interesting range of the three dimensional information is visualized using by VRML and more 3D stereoscopic image is visualized through the vergence control according to distance of the object. more improved three dimensional information is provided to observer by visualizing both of them at the same time.

In this paper, we developed optical dosimetry system with a plastic scintillator, a commercial 50 mm, f1.8 lens, and a commercial high-sensitivity CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) camera. And, the correction processors of vignetting, geometrical distortion and scaling were established. Using the developed system, we can measured a percent depth dose, a beam profile and a dose linearity for 6 MV medical LINAC (Linear Accelerator). As results, the optically measured percent depth dose was well matched with the measured percent depth dose by ion-chamber within 2% tolerance. And the determined flatness was 2.8%. We concluded that the optical dosimetry system was sufficient for application of absorbed dose monitoring during radiation therapy.

In this paper, it is presented a digital image processing method and the program (Visual C++) to determine the shape of the suspension bridge. To investigate the precision of this method, a suspension bridge is divided into 5, 13 and 19 images, respectively, by using the 6.3M pixels digital camera with 300mm zoom lens. Obtained results of the Kwang-Ahn Grand Bridge by using this method are fairly close to the real precision surveyed data. The accuracy is more improved by increasing the number of divided images of the structure. The total cost, man power and time of field survey by this method presented in this study could be much more reduced and the developed program could be applied with little modification for other structures like cable-stayed bridges, if lens compensation algorithms and program access capabilities are improved.
