본 논문에서는 얼굴 형태와 유사한 타원체형 모텔의 가변적 블록크기를 기반으로 하는 영상정렬 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실린더형 모델을 사용한 기존의 방법은 블록정합 수행 시 좌우 곡률을 고려하므로 좌우영상은 정확히 정렬하지만 상하 부분은 사람의 두상모양이나 턱 구조와 다르기 때문에 상하 영상을 정렬할 때 오류가 발생한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 얼굴 모델의 상하좌우의 곡률에 따라 가변적인 블록크기론 사용하고 영상의 상관관계를 이용하여 정확한 정렬을 할 수 있도록 한다. 그리고 얼굴 텍스쳐영상을 생성하기 위하여 영상 모자익 기법을 사용하며 영상들이 서로 잘 융합하도록 크로스디졸브(Cross dissolve) 기법을 적용하여 영상을 스티칭한다.

In the developement of LNG cargo, the current concern focuses on the slim design of insulation layer to increase the LNG carrying capacity. Not only thermal stability with BOR(Boil-Off Rate) but structual stability against the LNG weight and the sloshing phenomenon must be also considered. In this paper, we applied the stitched sandwitch composite called the 3X-Board which is stitched through the core thickness direction using glass fiber to the LNG cargo. We evaluated the thermal and structural characteristics of 3X-Board by changing the core thickness and the material, in order to explore a validity for the slim design through the finite element analysis.

파노라마 가상현실이란 특정 장소의 경험을 재현하는 방식으로, 현실 세계의 장소에 직접 가보지 않고 가상 현실 속의 사물이나 정보를 보다 쉽고 빠르게 탐색하고 습득 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는, 우리는 이상적인 키 포인트를 탐지하는 동적 프로그래밍을 사용하여 함께 이 지점과 인접한 이미지를 병합하고, 부드러운 색상 전환을 위해 이미지를 혼합하는데 사용된다. FAST와 SURF 탐지는 이미지의 확실한 특징을 찾는데 사용되고, 가장 가까운 이웃 알고리즘은 해당되는 특징을 일치시키는데 사용되며, RANSAC을 사용하여 일치하는 키 포인트를 homography로 판단한다. 이러한 방법으로 이미지를 자동 선택하여 스티칭하는 방법을 사용한다.

Recently, the interest and research on 360 camera and 360 image production are expanding. In this paper, we describe the feature extraction algorithm, alignment and image blending that make up the feature-based stitching system. And it deals with the theory of representative algorithm at each stage. In addition, the feature-based stitching system was implemented using OPENCV library. As a result of the implementation, the brightness of the two images is different, and it feels a sense of heterogeneity in the resulting image. We will study the proper preprocessing to adjust the brightness value to improve the accuracy and seamlessness of the feature-based stitching system.

본 논문에서는 입력 영상을 카메라의 자세 정보에 따라 적절히 와핑한 후 이들을 심(Seam)을 따라 이어붙인 360VR 에서 갑작스런 객체 출현에 의해 중첩 영역에서 발생하는 왜곡 문제를 해결할 방법을 제안한다. 임의의 객체가 나타났을 때, 객체의 윤곽선을 반영하여 심(Seam)을 재설정함으로써 객체가 우그러지거나, 잘려나가는 등의 왜곡 문제를 해결한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 가우시안(Gaussian) 혼합 모델 기반 전경/배경분리에 의한 움직이는 객체 추출, 객체 윤곽선 검출, 윤곽선에 기반한 심(Seam) 조정, 새로운 심(Seam) 기반 스티칭으로 왜곡을 없애는 방법을 제안하였다. 그리고 이를 실제 촬영 영상에 적용하여 왜곡 개선 효과를 보였다.

In general, the realization of spaceborne system is constrained by its space environment. In this paper, we suggest chirp stitching technique which generates and processes wideband radar signal with minimum hardware, design and implement transmit/receive equipments and operating programs to satisfy the requirement of this spaceborne high resolution SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar). We apply the top down design approach to this system, and divide hardware into equipment, module and circuit levels, and software into SR(Software Requirement), AD(Architecture Design), DD(Detailed Design) and coding levels, and then extract each requirement to satisfy the wideband requirement of this spaceborne high resolution SAR. We, at first, test the hardware functions, confirm the wideband handling capability of this system with 85MHz wideband signals generated from two 42.5MHz narrow band signals, and show that this system can be used in spaceborne high resolution SARs.

In this paper, we propose a method for combining MR image with histopathology image of the prostate using image correction and multi-stage registration. Our method consists of four steps. First, the intensity of prostate bleeding area on T2-weighted MR image is substituted for that on T1-weighted MR image. And two or four tissue sections of the prostate in histopathology image are combined to produce a single prostate image by manual stitching. Second, rigid registration is performed to find the affine transformations that to optimize mutual information between MR and histopathology images. Third, the result of affine registration is deformed by the TPS warping. Finally, aligned images are visualized by the intensity intermixing. Experimental results show that the prostate tumor lesion can be properly located and clearly visualized within MR images for tissue characterization comparison and that the registration error between T2-weighted MR and histopathology image was 0.0815mm.

In this paper, a feature based panorama image generation algorithm using FAST(Features from Accelerated Segment Test) method that is faster than SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) and SURF(Speeded Up Robust Features) is proposed. Cylindrical projection is performed to generate natural panorama images with numerous images as input. The occurred error can be minimized by applying RANSAC(Random Sample Consensus) for the matching process. When we synthesize numerous images acquired from different camera angles, we use blending techniques to compensate the distortions by the heterogeneity of border line. In that way, we could get more natural synthesized panorama image. The proposed algorithm can generate natural panorama images regardless the order of input images and tilted images. In addition, the image matching can be faster than the conventional method. As a result of the experiments, distortion was corrected and natural panorama image was generated.

Computer vision research area, a division of computer graphics application area that creates realistic visualization in computer, conducts vigorously researches on developing realistic 3D model or virtual environment. As the popularization and development of 3D display makes common users easy to experience a solid 3D virtual reality, the demand for virtual reality contents are increasing. This paper proposes 3D panorama system using depth point location-based depth map generation method. 3D panorama using depth map gives an effect that makes users feel staying at real place and looking around nearby circumstances. Also, 3D panorama gives free sight point for both nearby object and remote one and provides solid 3D video.

This paper, which covers a fluorescence microscopy image of brain tumor cells, looks at drug reactions by treating different types and concentrations of drugs on a plate of $24{\times}16$ wells. Due to the limitation of the field of view, a well was taken into 9 field images, and each has an overlapping area with its neighboring fields. To analyze more precisely, image stitching is needed. The basic method is finding a similar area using normalized cross-correlation (NCC). The problem is that some overlapping areas may not have any duplicated cells that help to find the matching point. In addition, the cell objects have similar sizes and shapes, which makes distinguishing them difficult. To avoid calculating similarity between blank areas and roughly distinguishing different cells, thresholding is added. The thresholding method classifies background and cell objects based on fixed thresholds and finds the location of the first seen cell. After getting its location, NCC is used to find the best correlation point. The results are compared with a simple boundary stitched image. Our proposed method stitches images that are connected in a grid form without collision, selecting the best correlation point among areas that contain overlapping cells and ones without it.
