파노라마 영상은 하나의 영상이 가지는 제한된 시점의 한계를 극복하고 폭넓은 시야를 가질 수 있다는 점에서 최근 여러 분야에서 활용되고 있는 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 자연스러운 파노라마 영상 생성을 위해 SURF(speed up robust feature)를 이용한 특징점 기반의 파노라마 영상 생성 기법을 제안한다. SURF 알고리즘을 사용하면 정합할 두 영상에서 특징점들을 추출할 수 있다. 추출된 특징점들을 RANSAC(random sample consensus) 알고리즘을 통해 특징점 간 정합시 오차율을 최소화한다. 또한, 이미지 왜곡을 최소화하기 위해 실린더 투영을 이용하여 영상을 보정한다. 최종적으로, 서로 다른 두 영상을 합성할 때 발생하는 경계 주변의 이질감을 보완하기 위해 블렌딩 기법을 사용함으로써 자연스러운 파노라마 영상을 생성한다.

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.

Wide FOV(Field-of-View) is required to contain much more visual information in a single image. The wide FOV imaging system has many industrial applications such as surveillance, security, tele-conference, and mobile robots. In order to obtain a wide FOV panorama image, an imaging system with hyperbolic cylinder mirror is proposed in this paper. Because the horizontal FOV is more important than the vertical FOV in general, a hyperbolic cylinder mirror is designed in this paper, that has a hyperbolic curve in the horizontal surface and is the same as a planar mirror in the vertical axis. Imaging model of the proposed imaging system is presented by ray tracing method and the hyperbolic cylinder mirror is implemented. The imaging performance of wide FOV is verified by experiments in this paper. This imaging system is cost-effective and is possible to acquire a wide panorama image having 210 degree horizontal FOV in real-time without an extra image processing.

In this paper we propose a method of reconstruction of cylindrical panorama using simplified projective transform from the panning image on the fixed camera. For the practical construction of cylindrical panorama we consider the rotation of the camera on the Y-axis only, even though considering the rotation components on all of the X,Y,Z axis on three-dimensional space for projective transform between general panoramas. The restriction mentioned above simplifies projective transform with existing 8 degrees of freedom into the one with 4 degrees of freedom. In the results, overall computation for projective transform can be decreased to the great extents in quantify, because the number of corresponding points required for inducing the transforming formula is gone down by half. Proposed algorithm from the simulation carried out in this paper shows similar performance and decreased computational quantity compared with existing algorithm. Also, it shows the construction of cylindrical panorama using simplified projective transform.

본 논문에서는 사각 평면이 아닌 실린더나 구 형태의 비평면 스크린에 고품질 파노라마 영상을 렌더링 하기 위해 스틸 카메라를 이용한 자동 캘리브레이션과 멀티 프로젝터를 이용한 파노라마 렌더링 시스템을 제안한다. 스틸 카메라를 이용한 비평면 스크린 캘리브레이션은 특정 패턴을 스크린에 투사하고 이를 촬영하여 프로젝터의 투사 왜곡을 보정하고 멀티 프로젝터간의 중첩 영역에 대한 보정을 자동 수행한다. 캘리브레이션이 완료된 이후에 멀티 프로젝터를 이용하여 고품질의 파노라마 비디오를 렌더링 하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 복수의 멀티 시스템과 동기화 카드를 이용하여 렌더링 시스템간의 재생 동기화를 수행 하였다. 제안하는 렌더링 시스템을 적용하면 기존의 전문가의 수동작업에 의한 인력 및 보정 시간을 줄일 수 있으며, 시스템 환경이 변하더라도 쉽게 적응적으로 렌더링 환경을 구축하는 것이 가능하고 고품질의 파노라마 비디오를 렌더링 하는 것이 가능하다.

Orthogonal Cross Cylinder mapping and segmentation based modeling methods have been implemented for constructing the image-based navigation system in this paper. The Orthogonal Cross Cylinder (OCC) is the object expressed by the intersection area that occurs when a cylinder is orthogonal with another. OCC mapping method eliminates the singularity effect caused in the environment maps and shows an almost even amount of area for the environment occupied by a single texel. A full-view image from a fixed point-of-view can be obtained with OCC mapping although it becomes difficult to express another image when the point-of-view has been changed. The OCC map is segmented according to the objects that form the environment and the depth value is set by the characteristics of the classified objects for the segmentation based modeling. This method can easily be implemented on an environment map and makes the environment modeling easier through extracting the depth value by the image segmentation. An environment navigation system with a full-view can be developed with these methods.

In general, image-based virtual environment is represented by panoramic images created by image mosaic algorithm. The cylindrical panoramic image supports the fixed-viewpoint navigation due to the constraints of construction. Shum proposed concentric mosaics to allow users to navigate freely within a circular area[10]. It is constructed by a sequence of images which is acquired from a regularly rotating camera. Concentric mosaics technique, proposed by Shum, is considered as 3D plenoptic function which is defined three parameters : distance, height and angle. In this paper, we suggest an effective method for creating concentric mosaics, in which we first align a set of strip images on the cylinder plane and stitch the aligned strips to build a panoramic image. The proposed method has no constraints such as regular panning motion of camera. Furthermore, our proposed method minimizes the use of interpolation image to create a novel view images from the concentric mosaics. It allows the result image on a novel view to have better quality with respect to the number of input images.
