본 논문에서는 어안렌즈를 통해 획득한 전방향 영상을 파노라마 영상으로 변환하기 위한 영역분할 방법을 제안한다. 각 분할된 영역에 대한 변환 과정에서 발생하는 영상 왜곡을 완화하면서 에지를 보존하기 위하여 기존 양성형 보간 방법을 대체하는 바이래터럴 필터 보간 방법을 제안한다. 또한 파노라마 변환 영상에서 본 논문의 제안방법의 결과가 기존 결과보다 에지가 잘 보존됨을 확인하였다.

Due to the fact that fisheye lens can provide super wide angles with the minimum number of cameras, field-of-view over 180 degrees, many vehicles are attempting to mount the camera system. Not only use the camera as a viewing system, but also as a camera sensor, camera calibration should be preceded, and geometrical correction on the radial distortion is needed to provide the images for the driver's assistance. In this thesis, we introduce a geometric correction technique to minimize the loss of the image data from a vehicle fish-eye lens having a field of view over $180^{\circ}$, and a asymmetric distortion. Geometric correction is a process in which a camera model with a distortion model is established, and then a corrected view is generated after camera parameters are calculated through a calibration process. First, the FOV model to imitate a asymmetric distortion configuration is used as the distortion model. Then, we need to unify the axis ratio because a horizontal view of the vehicle fish-eye lens is asymmetrically wide for the driver, and estimate the parameters by applying a non-linear optimization algorithm. Finally, we create a corrected view by a backward mapping, and provide a function to optimize the ratio for the horizontal and vertical axes. This minimizes image data loss and improves the visual perception when the input image is undistorted through a perspective projection.

Lenses with an ultra wide angle of view are usually called fisheye lenses since a fish can see an ultra wide panoramic view under water. As the angle of view for these kinds of lenses reaches a wide angle, the illumination on an image sensor is reduced by a rapid drop. In this paper, we discuss the causes and the ways to correct for a rapid drop. First, it is treated for the sign convention of directional cosine vectors and normal vectors on the curved surface by means of analytic geometry. And, from the fundamental discussion for these vectors, the rapid illumination drop is numerically analyzed for various kinds of causes by utilizing geometrical optics and radiometry as well as Fresnel equations derived from electromagnetic boundary conditions. As a result, we are able to get the full understanding for the rapid illumination drop and to propose ways to correct effects due to an wide angle of view.

There are many research results about a self-localization technique of mobile robot. In this paper we present a self-localization technique based on the features of ceiling vision using a fisheye lens. The features obtained by SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) can be used to be matched between the previous image and the current image and then its optimal function is derived. The fisheye lens causes some distortion on its images naturally. So it must be calibrated by some algorithm. We here propose some methods for calibration of distorted images and design of a geometric fitness model. The proposed method is applied to laboratory and aile environment. We show its feasibility at some indoor environment.

In this paper, we developed an omni-directional surveillance and motion detection method. The fish-eye lens provides a wide field of view image. Using this image, the equi-distance model for the fish-eye lens is applied to get the perspective and panorama images. Generally, we must consider the trade-off between resolution and field of view of an image from a camera. To enhance the resolution of the result images, some kind of interpolation methods are applied. Also the moving edge method is used to detect moving objects for the object tracking.

We propose an interpolation method considering barrel distortion of fisheye lens using nearest pixels on a corrected image. The correction of barrel distortion comprises coordinate transformation and interpolation. This paper focuses on interpolation. The proposed interpolation method uses nearest four coordinates on a corrected image rather than on a distorted image unlike existing techniques. Experimental results show that both subjective and objective image qualities are improved.

렌즈를 통하여 촬영하는 모든 영상은 근본적으로 렌즈에 의한 기하학적인 왜곡이 발생하게 된다. 특히 방송영상에 있어서 더 넓은 영역을 촬영하기 위하여 어안렌즈를 사용하게 되면 왜곡은 더욱 심각해진다. 이러한 기하학적인 렌즈 왜곡은 반지름 r에 대한 다항식으로 모델링될 수 있고 여기서 각 항의 계수를 구함으로써 왜곡은 보정될 수 있다. 각항의 계수는 Block-Matching Algorithm(BMA)을 이용한 대응 화소 검출을 통해서 얻어 질 수 있는데 기존의 BMA는 사각형의 정해진 크기의 탐색 영역(search region)을 가지게 되므로 렌즈왜곡과 같은 특수한 상황에서는 비효율적이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 렌즈 왜곡에 적응적인 탐색 영역(search region)을 갖는 새로운 BMA를 제안한다. 이는 렌즈 왜곡의 특성을 분석하여 렌즈 왜곡이 많이 일어나는 부분만을 특별히 정해서 대응 화소를 찾으므로 찾는 속도는 현저히 증가하고 성능은 기존의 BMA와 같은 성능을 보인다. 이러한 알고리즘은 하드웨어 구현에도 많은 도움이 될 것이다.
