In this paper, we implemented an image sensor module possible of detecting color temperature in an indoor environment. The color temperature information in the video information acquired by the image sensor was matched with a color difference illuminometer to produce an LUT. An algorithm was developed so that color temperature information according to the received RGB values can be automatically calculated. As a result of measuring the color temperature with an image sensor indoors, an accurate result of less than 5.91% was obtained compared to the reference value. It was confirmed that the uniformity of 23.5% or more was excellent compared to the color temperature measurement result using a color sensor.

As on-line purchases is activated, customers' demand increases for the realistic and accurate digital information of a product design. In this paper, we propose a practical method that can generate a realistic 3D model of a real product using a 3D geometry obtained by a 3D scanner and its photographic images. In order to register images to the 3D geometry, the camera focal length, the CCD scanning aspect ratio and the transformation matrix between the camera coordinate and the 3D object coordinate must be determined. To perform this 2D-3D registration with consideration of computational complexity, a three-step method is applied, which consists of camera calibration, determination of a temporary optimum translation vector (TOTV) and nonlinear optimization for three rotational angles. A case study for a metallic coated industrial part, of which the colour appearance is hardly obtained by a 3D colour scanner has performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, we propose a method which infers an accurate disparity map for radiometrically varying stereo images. For this end, firstly, we transform the input color images to the log-chromaticity color space from which a linear relationship can be established during constructing a joint pdf between input stereo images. Based on this linear property, we present a new stereo matching cost by combining weighted mutual information and the SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) descriptor with segment-based plane-fitting constraints to robustly find correspondences for stereo image pairs which undergo radiometric variations. Experimental results show that our method outperforms previous methods and produces accurate disparity maps even for stereo images with severe radiometric differences.

There are two significant drawbacks in triple image indexing; one is that is cannot support concept-based image retrieval and the other is that it fails to allow disjunctive labeling of images. To remedy the drawbacks, we propose a new technique supporting a concept-based retrieval against images indexed by indefinite fuzzy triples (I-fuzzy triples). The I-fuzzy triples allow not only a disjunctive image labeling, but also a concept-based matching against images labeled disjunctively. The disjunctive labeling is based on the expended closed world assumption and the concept-based image retrieval is based on fuzzy matching. In this paper, we also propose a concept-based query evaluation against the image database to extract desired answers with the degree of certainty $\alpha$$\in$[1,0].

본 논문에서는 인간의 눈 움직임이 반영된 물체 추적 기능을 모방하여 CCD 카메라를 통하여 실시간으로 입력되는 영상 데이터로부터 특징기반 정합방법을 응용하여 움직임 정보를 추출한 후, 팬-틸트(pan-tilt) 기능의 하드웨어를 제어하여 실시간으로 이동하는 물체를 효율적으로 추적하는 시스템을 제안하였다. 기존의 연구들에서는 주로 물체의 색상값을 이용하여 추적이 이루어지므로 조명이나 카메라의 변화에 따라 이동 물체를 놓치거나 유사한 색의 다른 물체를 잘못 추적하는 문제가 있었다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 측정기반의 정합을 응용하여 이동하는 카메라에서 이동물체를 추출하고 이 이동 물체의 좌표를 이동하여 팬-틸트 하드웨어를 제어하여 추적을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 본 시스템은 움직이는 물체를 감지해서 팬-틸트 하드웨어를 올바르게 제어하며 카메라의 움직임을 보정해가며 전체적으로 움직이는 영상 내에서 실제 움직이는 물체를 일관성 있게 추적하는 만족스러운 결과를 보인다.

In this paper we propose a new robust method to extract accurate human silhouettes indoors with active stereo camera. A prime application is for gesture recognition of mobile robots. The segmentation of distant moving objects includes many problems such as low resolution, shadows, poor stereo matching information and instabilities of the object and background color distributions. There are many object segmentation methods based on color or stereo information but they alone are prone to failure. Here efficient color, stereo and image segmentation methods are fused to infer object and background areas of high confidence. Then the inferred areas are incorporated in graph cut to make human silhouette extraction robust and accurate. Some experimental results are presented with image sequences taken using pan-tilt stereo camera. Our proposed algorithms are evaluated with respect to ground truth data and proved to outperform some methods based on either color/stereo or color/contrast alone.

본 논문에서는 다양한 변이 추정 방식 중 영역기반(Area-based) 알고리듬과 특정기반(Feature-based) 알고리듬을 결합한 하이브리드(Hybrid) 변이추정 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리듬은 Features from Accelerated Segment Test(FAST) 코너 점 추출기[2]를 이용하여 좌, 우 영상 각각의 특징 점을 추출한 후, 특징 점들의 정보를 이용한 스테레오 정함을 통해 신뢰도 높은 초기 변이지도(Disparity map)를 생생하게 된다. 그러나 생성된 초기 변이지도는 조밀하지 못하므로, 조밀한 변이 지도를 획득하기 위해 특징점이 추출된 영역에 대해서는 추정된 초기 변이 값을 이웃 픽셀과의 색 유사도를 고려하여 전파시키고 특징 점이 추출되지 않은 영역에 대해서는 이진 윈도우(Binary window)를 활용한 영역기반 변이추정 알고리듬[1]을 이용하여 변이 값을 추정한다. 이를 통해, 제안 알고리듬은 특징 기반 알고리듬에서 발생할 수 있는 보간법 문제를 해결함과 동시에 신뢰도가 높은 초기 변이지도를 사용함으로써, 영역 기반 알고리듬의 정합 오차를 줄여 신뢰도 높은 변이지도를 생생할 수 있다. 실험 결과 추정된 초기 변이지도는 ground truth와 비교 시 약 99%이상의 정확도를 보이며, 특징 점이 추출된 영역에서 기존의 영역기반 알고리듬보다 더 정확한 변이 값이 추정되었음을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a moving object tracking algorithm by using hierarchical search method in dynamic scenes. Proposed algorithm is based on two main steps: generation step of initial model from different pictures, and tracking step of moving object under the time-yawing scenes. With a series of this procedure, tracking process is not only stable under far distance circumstance with respect to the previous frame but also reliable under shape variation from the 3-dimensional(3D) motion and camera sway, and consequently, by correcting position of moving object, tracking time is relatively reduced. Partial Hausdorff distance is also utilized as an estimation function to determine the similarity between model and moving object. In order to testify the performance of proposed method, the extraction and tracking performance have tested using some kinds of moving car in dynamic scenes. Experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm provides higher performance. Namely, matching order is 28.21 times on average, and considering the processing time per frame, it is 53.21ms/frame. Computation result between the tracking position and that of currently real with respect to the root-mean-square(rms) is 1.148. In the occasion of different vehicle in terms of size, color and shape, tracking performance is 98.66%. In such case as background-dependence due to the analogy to road is 95.33%, and total average is 97%.
