본 논문에서는 보안 시스템에서 사람 인식을 위한 중요한 단서 중의 하나인 사람의 키를 측정하는 알고리즘으로, 이미지 시퀀스에서 사람의 영역을 추출하고 기하학적 정보를 이용해 추출된 사람의 키를 측정하고자 한다. 이를 위해 단일 이동 물체 사람을 대상으로 하여 시퀀스 이미지에서 사람의 움직임 정보를 추출하고, 추출된 영역에서 수직 히스토그램 투영을 하여 사람의 중심선을 찾아 머리와 발의 좌표점을 추출한다. 추출된 좌표점들은 소실점과 소실선의 기하학적 해석과 미리 입력한 다른 물체의 기준높이를 가지고 실세계에서의 사람의 키를 측정하게 된다.

markerless system to a two-dimensional imaging is used to estimate the depth map as a stereo vision system uses expensive equipment. We estimate the depth map from monocular image enhancement and object extracted relative to the vanishing point is estimated depth map. Augmented objects in order to get better virtual immersion depending on the distance of the objects should be drawn in different sizes. In this paper, creating images obtained from the vanishing point, and in-depth information on the augmented object, augmented with different sizes and improved engagement of inter-object interaction.

In this paper, we propose the semi-auto camera calibration method including user input. The proposed method estimates the vanishing points using user defined reference lines and defines the constraint for reducing outlier in vanishing points estimation process. The proposed camera calibration method based on both algebraic and geometric method improves a calibration performance for difficult condition, which represents that existing method can't calibrate a image. Experimental results show that the proposed method calibration accuracy higher than existing method.

In this paper, we propose a semi-automatic 3D building reconstruction method using uncalibrated images which includes the facade of target building. First, we extract feature points in all images and find corresponding points between each pair of images. Second, we extract lines on each image and estimate the vanishing points. Extracted lines are grouped with respect to their corresponding vanishing points. The adjacency graph is used to organize the image sequence based on the number of corresponding points between image pairs and camera calibration is performed. The initial solid model can be generated by some user interactions using grouped lines and camera pose information. From initial solid model, a detailed building model is reconstructed by a combination of predefined basic Euler operators on half-edge data structure. Automatically computed geometric information is visualized to help user's interaction during the detail modeling process. The proposed system allow the user to get a 3D building model with less user interaction by augmenting various automatically generated geometric information.

This paper describes a method to identify objects for autonomous navigation of an outdoor mobile robot. To identify objects, the robot recognizes the object from an image taken by moving robot on outdoor environment. As a beginning, this paper presents the candidates for a segment of region to building of artificial object, sky and trees of natural objects. Then we define their characteristics individually. In the process, we segment the regions of the objects included by preprocessing using multiple features. Multiple features are HSI, line segments, context information, hue co-occurrence matrix, principal components and vanishing point. An analysis of building identifies the geometrical properties of building facet such as wall region, windows and entrance. The building as intersection in vertical and horizontal line segment of vanishing point extracts the mesh. The wall region of building detect by merging the mesh of the neighbor parallelograms that have similar colors. The property estimates the number of story and rooms in the same floors by merging skewed parallelograms of the same color. We accomplish the result of image segmentation using multiple features and the geometrical properties analysis of object through experiments.

In this paper, we propose a single view-based technique for the estimation of human height and position. Conventional techniques for the estimation of 3D geometric information are based on the estimation of geometric cues such as vanishing point and vanishing line. The proposed technique, however, back-projects the image of moving object directly, and estimates the position and the height of the object in 3D space where its coordinate system is designated by a marker. Then, geometric errors are corrected by using geometric constraints provided by the marker. Unlike most of the conventional techniques, the proposed method offers a framework for simultaneous acquisition of height and position of an individual resident in the image. The accuracy and the robustness of our technique is verified on the experimental results of several real video sequences from outdoor environments.

Delaunay triangulation is suitable for fingerprint matching because of its robustness to rotation and translation. However, missing and spurious minutiae degrade the performance and computational efficiency. In this paper, we propose a method of combining local quality assessment and 4-category minutiae classification to improve accuracy and decrease computational complexity in matching process. Experimental results suggest that removing low quality areas from matching candidate areas and classifying minutiae improve computational efficiency without degrading performance. The results proved that the proposed algorithm outperforms the matching algorithm (BOZORTH3) provided by NIST.

운동(motion) 벡터는 보고 있는 카메라와 관측되는 대상물 사이의 상대적인 움직임에 의해서 발생되는 3차원 물체의 속도가 2차원 영상에 투사되어 맺히는 영상에서의 2차원 속도 벡터를 가리킨다 영상에서 물체의 움직임은 3차원 공간상의 운동을 알 수 있는 중요한 정보로써 물체를 추적하는데 응용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 여러 장의 연속적인 2차원 밝기 영상으로부터 카메라의 움직임을 추정하는 문제를 다룬다. 기존의 특징 기반 추적 기법에서는 저 단계의 영상 처리 과정에서 모델과 배경의 특징점이 서로 분리되지 않거나, 모델의 특징(feature)이 소실되었을 경우, 추적이 용이하지 못하고, 카메라와 3차원 물체의 병진과 회전 운동에 의해 발생된 움직임의 경우 3차원 표적 특징이 많이 사라져서 오차가 많이 누적되기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 목표물 및 배경 특징들을 사용하여 카메라의 운동 정보를 찾아내는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 3차원 카메라의 운동 정보 추정 기법은 크게 두 장의 연속된 영상으로부터 3차원 모델과 배경의 많은 특징들에 대한 광류(optical flow) 검색 과정과, 이로부터 취득한 움직임 벡터와 카메라의 비선형 운동 방정식과 Lagrange multiplier를 통한 카메라의 운동 정보 추정 과정으로 구성된다.

When a camera installed on a vehicle is used, estimation of the camera pose including tilt, roll, and pan angle with respect to the world coordinate system is important to associate camera coordinates with world coordinates. Previous approaches using huge calibration patterns have the disadvantage that the calibration patterns are costly to make and install. And, previous approaches exploiting multiple vanishing points detected in a single image are not suitable for automotive applications as a scene where multiple vanishing points can be captured by a front camera is hard to find in our daily environment. This paper proposes a camera pose estimation method. It collects multiple images of lane markings while changing the horizontal angle with respect to the markings. One vanishing point, the cross point of the left and right lane marking, is detected in each image, and vanishing line is estimated based on the detected vanishing points. Finally, camera pose is estimated from the vanishing line. The proposed method is based on the fact that planar motion does not change the vanishing line of the plane and the normal vector of the plane can be estimated by the vanishing line. Experiments with large and small tilt and roll angle show that the proposed method outputs accurate estimation results respectively. It is verified by checking the lane markings are up right in the bird's eye view image when the pan angle is compensated.

시각기반 증강현실 시스템의 구현을 위해서는 입력되는 카메라영상의 프레임을 매번 특징점을 추출하고 패턴 매칭 과정을 반복하는 것은 저 사양의 모바일 기기에서는 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결 하고자 카메라영상에서 패턴이 한번 인식되게 되면 그 이후의 영상에 대해서는 패턴 인식과정을 생략하고 이전 영상에서 매칭된 특징점을 광류 기반 추적기법을 사용하여 추적하도록 한다. 또한 패턴 추적 절차의 수행 중 추적이 실패하여 생기는 특징점 소실 문제는 정확한 호모그래피 행렬과 카메라 자세 추정을 어렵게 하는데 이러한 문제를 해결하도록 하는 패턴 추적의 성공 또는 실패는 판단하는 기준을 세워 모바일 기기에서 빠르게 동작하도록 하는 광류 추적 기법을 사용한 자연 특징 추적 기반 증강현실 시스템을 제안한다.
