다시점 영상 부호화와 함께, 가상물체를 지능형으로 합성하기 위해서는 정합할 위치를 강인하게 추적(tracking)하여야 한다. 기존의 특징추적기법은 시점이 확장된 시스템에서, 광원의 영향과 가려진 영역의 발생으로 인하여, 추적 할 수 없게 되거나 시각적 혼동이 발생하는 등의 많은 문제점을 유발한다. 뿐만 아니라 다시점에 의한 정보의 급격한 증가는 시점간 움직임을 추적하여 정합하는 연산량의 추가적 발생을 초래한다. 이에 본 논문은 광원이나 가려진 영역(occtusion)의 영향이 적은 형상과 정보량이 많은 텍스쳐를 동시에 고려하여 영역의 변형에 따라 발생하는 최적 움직임을 예측하는 파라미터 모델을 결정함으로써 사각영역을 추적한다. 이 때 미리 연산된 카메라 파라미터와 투영관계를 사용해 시점간에 가상 객체를 지속적으로 3차원 정합한다. 결과적으로, 제안된 알고리즘은 기존의 특징추적 알고리즘에 비해 광원의 영향과 가려진 영역에 강인하며 정합의 오류가 적고 추적 할 때 시점간의 대응을 위한 연산을 줄이기 때문에 실감 혼합현실 시스템의 구현에 매우 효율적임을 실험을 통해 증명하였다.

We present a novel head tracking system for stereoscopic displays that ensures the viewer has a high degree of movement. The tracker is capable of segmenting the viewer from background objects using their relative distance. A depth camera using TOF(Time-Of-Flight) is used to generate a key signal for eye tracking application. A method of the moving parallax barrier is also introduced to supplement a disadvantage of the fixed parallax barrier that provides observation at the specific locations.

The Galileo system, a global navigation satellite system(GNSS) developed by E.U., uses the direct sequence/spread spectrum(DS/SS) modulation. A DS/SS-based system performs a fine synchronization between the received and locally generated spreading signals, via attacking process. In the absence of multipath signals, using the symmetric characteristic of the correlation function, the delay lock loop with the early minus late discriminator(EL-DLL) offers the best performance in tracking. However, in the presence of multipath signals, the symmetry of the correlation function could be lost, causing a tracking bias. In this paper, we observe that the correlation values in the advanced offset range remain almost unchanged, due to the multipath signals being received later than a line-of-sight signal. Based on this observation, we propose a novel tracking scheme for a Galileo BOC(1,1) system.

본 논문에서는 3차원 모니터를 시청하는 시청자의 위치를 추적한 후 시청위치에 따라 다른 시점의 영상을 제공하는 시스템을 제안한다. 본 시스템은 센서들의 신호를 제어하는 CPU, 3개의 초음파센서, 1개의 PIR(Passive infrared radiation)센서, 센서별 신호를 분기해주는 PLD(programmable logic device)로 구성되어 있다. 3개의 초음파 센서를 이용해 20개의 탐색구역 내에 있는 시청자의 정확한 위치를 추적한다. 시스템을 구현한 결과 전방 5m, 좌우 3m의 탐색범위 내에서 시청자의 위치를 정확히 추적하여 해당 시점의 영상을 디스플레이 하였다.

The global navigation satellite system (GNSS), which is the core technique for the location based service, adopts the direct sequence/spread spectrum (DS/SS) as its modulation method. The success of a DS/SS system depends on the synchronization between the received and locally generated pseudo noise (PN) signals. As a step in the synchronization process, the tacking scheme performs fine adjustment to bring the phase difference between the two PN signals to zero. The most widely used tracking scheme is the delay locked loop with early minus late discriminator (EL-DLL). In the ideal case, the EL-DLL is the best estimator among various DLL. However, in the band-limited multipath environment, the EL-DLL has tracking bias. In this paper, the timing offset range of correlation function is divided into advanced offset range (AOR) and delayed offset range (DOR) centering around the correct synchronization time point. The tracking bias results from the following two reasons: symmetry distortion between correlation values in AOR and DOR, and mismatch between the time point corresponding to the maximum correlation value and the synchronization time point. The former and latter are named as the type I and type II tracking bias, respectively. In this paper, when the receiver has finite bandwidth in the presence of multipath signals, it is shown that the type II tracking bias becomes a more dominant error factor than the type I tracking bias, and the correlation values in AOR are not almost changed. Exploiting these characteristics, we propose a novel tracking bias mitigation scheme and demonstrate that the tracking accuracy of the proposed scheme is higher than that of the conventional scheme, both in the presence and absence of noise.

기존 증강현실과 같은 합성 추적기법에서, 시점을 확장시켜 깊이감을 얻을 수 있는 다시점 영상기술을 적용하였을 경우 특징추출 및 대응의 연산량은 급격히 증가하며, 넓어진 FOV(field-of-view)는 대응을 어렵게 하여 특징의 흔들림을 초래하고 광원과 가려진 영역의 영향을 증대시켜 시점간의 추적을 어렵게 한다. 이에 본 논문은 등극선 기하조건을 고려한 다시점 실감 영상 합성 추적 기법을 제안한다.

대역 제한된 DS/SS 시스템의 상관 함수는 최고 값이 나타나는 시점과 함께 이른 또는 늦은 상관시간 옵셋 영역에서 극소 또는 극대로 나타나는 시점을 특징점으로 갖는다. 이 가운데 이른 상관시간옵셋 영역의 상관 함수는 다중경로 신호에 의해 덜 왜곡되기 때문에 이 영역의 상관 함수를 이용해 부호 동기를 추적하여 유지할 수 있다면 EL-DLL (delay lock loop with early minus late discriminator) 보다 추적편이를 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문에 이런 특성을 이용하는 추적편이 완화 기법을 제안하고, 모의실험을 통해 성능을 알아본다.

In this paper, we propose a 3DTV system that considers user's view point and display environment. The proposed system consists of 3 parts - multi-view encoder/decoder, face-tracker, and 2D/3D converter. The proposed system try to encode multi-view sequence and decode it in accordance with the user's view point and it also gives a stereopsis to the multi-view image by using of 2D/3D conversion which converts decoded two-dimensional(2D) image to three-dimensional(3D) image. Experimental results shows that we are able to correctly reconstruct a stereoscopic view that is exactly corresponding to user's view point.

An advantage of parallax barrier displays is that they can also display 2D and 3D contents and can be automatically switched between the two types. But, as the viewer changes position, different views of the scene will be directed by the barrier to the visual system. Moving horizontally beyond a certain point will produce "image flipping" of the different views of the scene. These limitations make unavoidable the use of another autostereoscopic display solutions like eye tracking or increasing the number of views. In this paper, a method of the moving parallax barrier design is introduced to supplement a disadvantage of the fixed parallax barrier that provides observation at specific locations. For making the moving parallax barrier, the cross connector with 640 lines FPC is designed. A commercially available web camera is utilized to implement eye-tracking system and shows the experimental result.

In this paper, we introduce an eye-tracking 3D display system using variable parallax barrier and DDC communication. A barrier of variable parallax barrier composed of 4 sub-barriers and a commercially available web camera is utilized to implement the eye-tracking system. The coordinates of a viewer is extracted from the web camera transfer to 3D display via DDD/CI communication. The variable barrier attached to the LCD moves electrically according to the right eye position for 3D images. This system is compared experimentally with the commercial parallax barrier methods.
