3D object recognition using only 2D images is a difficult work because each images are generated different to according to the view direction of cameras. Because SIFT algorithm defines the local features of the projected images, recognition result is particularly limited in case of input images with strong perspective transformation. In this paper, we propose the object recognition method that improves SIFT algorithm by using several sequential images captured from rotating 3D object around a rotation axis. We use the geometric relationship between adjacent images and merge several images into a generated feature space during recognizing object. To clarify effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we keep constantly the camera position and illumination conditions. This method can recognize the appearance of 3D objects that previous approach can not recognize with usually SIFT algorithm.

Recently, as the size of display devices tends to increase and taking pictures with smart phones has become commonplace, the need for taking high-resolution pictures with smart phones is increasing. However, when the lens size of a camera is limited, such as in a smartphone, there is a physical limit to increasing the resolution of a photo. This paper is about a technique for increasing the resolution of a picture even when using a small-sized lens like a smartphone camera. It is to take multiple pictures while moving the smartphone, and to increase the resolution by combining these pictures into one picture. First of all, two pictures were taken while moving the smartphone horizontally for the 2D picture. Processes such as camera matrix estimation, and homograph inverse transformation were performed using OpenCV, and the resolution was improved by synthesizing one picture. It was confirmed that the resolution was improved in parts such as oblique lines or arcs on several test pictures.

When user wants to receive a smart safe return service, user sends a service request using a smart device to support GPS location data. After the smart safe return system receives the location of user, it selects the neighboring CCTV cameras based on user's location information, and controls the selected CCTV cameras to take a picture of the user, and to chase the user automatically. This service can be useful when there is a crime-ridden district on the path to return home late at night. Previous systems can't provide the smart safe return service to multiple user simultaneously. In this paper, we propose the smart safe return system which can provide the service to multiple users simultaneously.

Recently, video surveillance is becoming more and more common as many camera are installed due to crime, terrorism, traffic and security. And systems that control cameras are becoming increasingly general. Video input from the installed camera is monitored by the multiscreen at the central control center, it is essential to simultaneously monitor multiscreen in real-time to quickly respond to situations or dangers. However, monitoring of multiscreen in a mobile environment such as a smart phone is not applied to hardware specifications or network bandwidth problems. For resolving these problems, in this paper, we propose a system that can monitor multiscreen in real-time in mobile-phone environment. We reconstruct the desired multiscreen through transcoding, it is possible to monitor continuously video streaming of multiple cameras, and to have the advantage of being mobile in mobile-phone environment.

Recently, as the installation of a large number of high-performance CCTVs for crime prevention and traffic control has increased rapidly, the problem of increasing system requirements for response to privacy infringement factors and analysis of high-definition image information transmitted from multiple cameras has been actively emerging. Accordingly, there is a need for a method for responding to privacy infringement and a method for efficiently processing surveillance images input from multiple cameras. In this paper, in order to reduce the processing cost of the input image and improve the processing speed, an integrated image is generated by grouping images input from a plurality of cameras. After analyzing the pre-generated integrated video, it detects a preset privacy event or an event that highlights interest. Depending on whether or not an event is detected, you will perform an editing operation corresponding to the event.

본 연구의 주제는 텍스트를 어떻게 회화적이미지로 전환시킬 수 있을까?에 대한 것이다. 오늘날 디지털 환경 속에 있는 우리는 이미지 중심의 세계 속에 살고 있다. 과거 텍스트가 해왔던 정보의 생산과 전달 그리고 저장의 역할을 오늘날은 상당부분 이미지가 하게 되었다. 하지만 그럼에도 불구하고 아날로그 방식과 정서는 여전히 우리 곁에 남아있는 것도 사실이다. "Yesterday to Today"는 문자의 최소 단위인 알파벳을 통하여 이미지를 재현하려는 작품이다. 이 작품은 크게 두 가지 Idea로 이루어지는데 하나는 복수개의 실시간 영상 소스를 이용하여 이미지를 구성해내는 것과, 다른 하나는 텍스트에 의한 이미지의 변환이다. 복수개의 실시간 영상 소스는 프로그램이 작동하는 컴퓨터와 직/간접적으로 연결되어 전달되는데, 직접적으로 연결되어 근거리의 특정한 지점으로부터 영상 소스를 받을 수 있고, 또 하나의 방법은 인터넷을 통한하나 이상의 원거리 지점으로부터 보내어지는 영상을 조합하여 받을 수 있다. 프로그램 구현 개념은 픽셀 소스 카메라에서 캡쳐된 최초 이미지를 명도, 색상, 채도로 분류하고, 이것의 각각을 26개의 구간-자판의 개수에 의하여 정해짐-으로 나누고, 다시 그 각각의 구간을 26단계로 나눈다. 이렇게 나누어진 구간들은 알파벳과 1:1로 대응시켜 결과이미지의 해당 부분을 수치대로 재현하도록 프로그램 시킨다. 이미지의 부분들을 지정하기 위하여 특정한 텍스트로부터 알파벳의 빈도수를 조사했는데, 이 조사를 바탕으로 빈도수의 많고 적음에 따라 이미지부분들이 26개 구간으로 정해졌다. 이미지 재현 방법은 사용자가 모니터 위의 Result Image Cam을 통하여 얻고자 하는 이미지를 캡쳐한 후, 특정한 텍스트를 타이핑하면 이미지를 재현할 수 있는데, -입력된 텍스트의 알파벳은 프로그램이 지정한 HSI 컬러 모델의 영역과 1:1로 대응하게 하였다-이 이미지는 특정 장소에 실시간으로 받아진 영상을 데이터화 한 소스에 의하여 만들어진다. 이미지를 재현할 때 텍스트에 따라 알파벳 빈도수는 달라질 수 있으므로 비록 최초 이미지가 동일할지라도 얻고자하는 결과 이미지가 달라진다. 그러므로 사용자는다양한 창조적 경험을 할 수 있다.

Fast advancement and dynamic diffusion of Smart device make big change to personal user. They have been extended from consumer only watching video to prosumer recording and sharing User Created Video(UCV). With this reason, as a platform for various kind of content service. Especially, UCVs for the purpose of sharing experience are recorded from same event on limited time and space by some people. These are also produced by various cameras that has each angle similar like broadcasting videos. In this paper, we present multi-view characteristic of UCV and propose Multi-view UCV service that is watching UCVs from same event through adjusting camera angle. Through user satisfaction survey, we knew that adjusting camera angle is preferred for watching UCV including overlapping part more than linear watching.

In this paper, we propose an image-based method for modeling 3D objects with curved surfaces based on the NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) representation. Starting from a few calibrated images, the user specifies the corresponding curves by means of an interactive user interface. Then, the 3D curves are reconstructed using stereo reconstruction. In order to fit the curves easily using the interactive user interface, NURBS curves and surfaces are employed. The proposed surface modeling techniques include surface building methods such as bilinear surfaces, ruled surfaces, generalized cylinders, and surfaces of revolution. In addition to these methods, we also propose various advanced surface modeling techniques, including skinned surfaces, swept surfaces, and boundary patches. Based on these surface modeling techniques, it is possible to build various types of 3D shape models with textured curved surfaces without much effort. Also, it is possible to reconstruct more realistic surfaces by using proposed view-dependent texture acquisition algorithm. Constructed 3D shape model with curves and curved surfaces can be exported in VRML format, making it possible to be used in different 3D graphics softwares.

This study was conducted laboratory flume tests to identify landslide features and flow characteristics of debris using a flume test equipment. Under the several test conditions dependent on rainfall intensity and slope angle, the authors measured pore water pressure, slope failure and displacement, spreading area of debris on a regular time interval. The test processes were also recorded by video cameras and digital still cameras. According to the test results, pore water pressures have trends of direct proportion to the rainfall intensity and the slope angle, resulting in high potential of landslide triggering. The spreading area of debris is also increased with the slope angle and the rainfall intensity as well as the rainfall duration.

This paper proposes the enhanced auto-focus algorithm detecting several objects and selecting the target object. Proposed algorithm first detects some objects distributed in the image using focus measure operator and multi-window and then selects the target object through fuzzy reasoning with three fuzzy membership functions. Implementation can be simple because it only needs image sensor instead of infrared or ultrasonic equipment. Experimental result shows that the proposed algorithm can improve the quality of image by focusing to the target object.
