In this paper, an epipolar model without the ephemeris data is proposed. Also, various epipolar models such as the epipolar geometry of perspective sensor, the one proposed by Gupta and Hartley and the one based on the Orun and Natarajan's sensor model are reviewed and their accuracy are quantitatively analyzed using devised measure. Modeling data from ground control points, ground control points, ephemeris data and independent checking points are selected on SPOT over Taejon and Boryung area and KOMPSAT over Taejon and Nonsan area. Based on the results, the epipolar model of perspective sensor and the one by Gupta and Hartley have the average accuracy within 1 pixel but show high errors in several checking points. The proposed epipolarity model provides better results than that of perspective sensor and by Gupta and Hartley. Also, it shows the accuracy similar to the one based on Orun and Natarajan's sensor model.

The geometry of satellite image captured by linear CCD sensor is different from that of frame camera image. The fact that the exterior orientation parameters for satellite image with linear CCD sensor varies from scan line by scan line, causes the difference of image geometry between frame and linear CCD sensor. Therefore, we need the epipolar geometry for linear CCD image which differs from that of frame camera image. In this paper, we proposed a method of resampling linear CCD satellite image in epipolar geometry under the assumption that image is not formed in perspective projection but in parallel projection, and the sensor model is a 2D affine sensor model based on parallel projection. For the experiment, IKONOS stereo images, which are high resolution linear CCD images, were used and tested. As results, the spatial accuracy of 2D affine sensor model is investigated and the accuracy of epipolar resampled image with RFM was presented.

Generating an epipolar image which is removed a y-parallax from an original image is an essential technique for creating a 3D stereoscopic model or producing a map. In epipolar image production, there is a method of generating epipolar images by estimating the relative orientation parameters after matching the extracted distinct points in two images and a method of generating epipolar images by using the baseline and rotation angles of the two images after determining the exterior orientation parameters In this study, it was proposed a methodology to generate epipolar images using direction cosine in the exterior orientation parameters of the input images, and a method to use the transformation matrix for easy calculation when converting from the original image to the epipolar image. The applicability of the proposed methodology was evaluated by using images taken from the fixed wing and rotary wing drones. As a result, it was found that epipolar images were generated regardless of the type of drones.

As of 2014, KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) operates two high-resolution satellites such as Kompsat-2 and Kompsat-3. Kompsat-3 has capability of in-track stereo images acquisition but it is quite limited because the stereo mode lowers the spatial coverage in a trajectory. In this paper we analyze the epipolar geometry from the heterogeneous Kompsat-2 and Kompsat-3 image combination to epipolar resample them for 3D spatial data acquisition. The analysis was carried out using the piecewise approach with RPCs (Rational Polynomial Coefficients) and the result showed the parabolic epipolar curve pattern. We also concluded that the third order polynomial transformation is required for epipolar image resampling. The resampled image pair showed 1 pixel level of y-parallax and can be used for 3D display and digitizing.

In this study, the epipolar images were created by both methods of resolution adjustment and piecewise approach using RPC(Rational Polynomial coefficients) and ancillary data of IKONOS-2 and SPOT-5 satellite images whose resolutions are different from each other. The stereo geometry of these two satellite images was analyzed and the RPC block modelling was accomplished for generating epipolar images. In order to evaluate the accuracy of created epipolar images, the y-parallaxes were analyzed for the specific points which were apparently identified in mountainous, plain and urban area. Also the RMSEs of the specific points were calculated using the coordinates from the epipolar stereo images and the coordinates from the block triangulation. Y-parallaxes were within one pixel and the RMSEs were within two meters for X, Y and Z each.

Kompsat-3 is an optical high-resolution earth observation satellite launched in May 2012. The AEISS sensor of the Korean satellite provides 0.7m panchromatic and 2.8m multi-spectral images with 16.8km swath width from the sun-synchronous near-circular orbit of 685km altitude. Kompsat-3 is more advanced than Kompsat-2 and the improvements include better agility such as in-track stereo acquisition capability. This study investigated the characteristic of the epipolar curves of in-track Kompsat-3 stereo images. To this end we used the RPCs(Rational Polynomial Coefficients) to derive the epipolar curves over the entire image area and found out that the third order polynomial equation is required to model the curves. In addition, we could observe two different groups of curve patterns due to the dual CCDs of AEISS sensor. From the experiment we concluded that the third order polynomial-based RPCs update is required to minimize the sample direction image distortion. Finally we carried out the experiment on the epipolar resampling and the result showed the third order polynomial image transformation produced less than 0.7 pixels level of y-parallax.

정사영상 생성, 도시 공간의 모형화 등 도면화의 다양한 응용분야에 적용을 위해서는 위성 영상으로부터 수치고도모형을 생성하는 것은 중요하며, SPOT-5, IKONOS, QUICKBIRD, ORBVIEW 등의 고해상도 위성영상은 효율적이고 경제적으로 수치고도모형을 생성할 수 있는 정보를 제공하고 있다. 그러나, 이들 고해상도 위성영상으로부터 수치고도모형을 생성하기 위해서는 센서모형화, 에피폴라 영상 생성 그리고 영상정합에 대한 사전지식이 필요하다. 이들 중 에피폴라 영상생성은 중요한 인자이며 이에 대한 연구는 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 뿐만 아니라, IKONOS 위성영상으로부터 수치고도모형을 생성하는 연구는 다항식비례모형에 기반한 연구가 주로 이루어졌다. 이에 본 연구에서는 센서 독립적이면서 적은 수의 기준점만으로 센서모형화와 에피폴라 영상생성이 가능한 평행투영모형을 이용하여 수치고도모형을 생성하는 일련의 처리과정을 새롭게 제안하였다. 제안된 방법론은 IKONOS 위성영상을 이용하여 적용하고 평가하였다.

Rectification 은 서로 다른 시점에서 얻은 두 영상을 동일한 평면에 투영시키는 호모그래피를 적용하여 원 영상의 에피폴라 라인을 수평방향으로 정렬시키는 과정이다. 이때 호모그래피에 의해 변환된 영상 사이에서도 에피폴라 제약조건이 성립해야 하며, 이를 만족시키는 호모그래피가 여러 개 존재하므로 제약조건을 추가하여 응용에 적합한 호모그래피를 구하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 Rectification 결과를 객체분할에 이용하기 위해, 원 영상과 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있는 호모그래피를 구하도록 하였다. 기존의 방법은 복잡한 과정을 거쳐 최종적으로 구한 호모그래피를 적용한 후에도 결과 영상을 얻기 위해서 입력 영상에 따라 크기와 위치를 재조정해야 한다는 문제가 있는 반면, 제안한 알고리즘은 크기나 위치에 대한 조정 과정이 필요 없으므로 어느 영상에나 동일하게 적용할 수 있다. 제안한 방법으로 원 영상과 유사하고 원 영상 사이의 변위 값을 유지하고 있는 결과영상을 얻을 수 있었으며 이를 객체분할에 적용하였다.
