본 연구는 화면전환 및 필기 등의 프레젠테이션을 편리하게 제어 할 수 있는 시스템을 구현하고자 한다. 카메라를 이용한 컴퓨터 비전 분야에서 주변의 조명 환경의 영향을 적게 받는 적외선을 이용한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 제안하는 방법에서는 USB(Universal Serial Bus) 타입의 카메라를 적외선 환경에 맞게 개조하고, 이를 이용하여 적외선 LED(Light Emitting Diode)를 이용한 전자 분필 영상을 취득하여, 실시간으로 전자 분필의 위치를 검출한다. 검출된 영역은 사전에 사용자가 설정한 '필기 가능 영역'과 변형 함수에 기반하여, 실제 모니터 좌표로 사상되어 화면에 표시되게 된다. 제안하는 시스템은 저렴한 가격의 웹 캠과 적외선 조명 이외에는 별도의 장비가 필요하지 않으면서도, 대형 스크린을 터치 방식으로 활용할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 실험 결과, 계산된 모니터 좌표와 사용자가 의도한 위치간의 평균 RMS(Root Mean Square) 오차는 약 15픽셀로 나타나서, 글씨를 필기하고 화면의 특정 부분을 강조하기 위한 활용이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Typically, vision-based AR systems operate on the basis of prior knowledge of the environment such as a square marker. The traditional marker-based AR system has a limitation that the marker has to be located in the sensing range. Therefore, there have been considerable research efforts for the techniques known as real-time camera tracking, in which the system attempts to add unknown 3D features to its feature map, and these then provide registration even when the reference map is out of the sensing range. In this paper, we describe a real-time camera tracking framework specifically designed to track a monocular camera in a desktop workspace. Basic idea of the proposed scheme is that a real-time camera tracking is achieved on the basis of a plane tracking algorithm. Also we suggest a method for re-detecting features to maintain registration of virtual objects. The proposed method can cope with the problem that the features cannot be tracked, when they go out of the sensing range. The main advantage of the proposed system are not only low computational cost but also convenient. It can be applicable to an augmented reality system for mobile computing environment.

To utilize omni-directional images acquired by a rotating line camera for indoor spatial information services, we should register precisely the images with respect to an indoor coordinate system. In this study, we thus develop a georeferencing method to estimate the exterior orientation parameters of an omni-directional image - the position and attitude of the camera at the acquisition time. First, we derive the collinearity equations for the omni-directional image by geometrically modeling the rotating line camera. We then estimate the exterior orientation parameters using the collinearity equations with indoor control points. The experimental results from the application to real data indicate that the exterior orientation parameters is estimated with the precision of 1.4 mm and $0.05^{\circ}$ for the position and attitude, respectively. The residuals are within 3 and 10 pixels in horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. Particularly, the residuals in the vertical direction retain systematic errors mainly due to the lens distortion, which should be eliminated through a camera calibration process. Using omni-directional images georeferenced precisely with the proposed method, we can generate high resolution indoor 3D models and sophisticated augmented reality services based on the models.

We propose a camera system to acquire indoor stereo omni-directional images and its calibration method. These images can be utilized for indoor precise mapping and sophisticated imagebased services. The proposed system is configured with a rotating stereo line camera system, providing stereo omni-directional images appropriate to stable stereoscopy and precise derivation of object point coordinates. Based on the projection model, we derive a mathematical model for the system calibration. After performing the system calibration, we can estimate object points with an accuracy of less than ${\pm}16cm$ in indoor space. The proposed system and calibration method will be applied to indoor precise 3D modeling.

This paper presents an imaging system for reconstruction of enhanced color images using the conventional Bayer CFA. By extracting various colors such as RGBCY from two sequential images which consist of a image by broadband G channel lens filter and the other image captured without one, the proposed color image reconstruction system can reduce the computational complexity for demosaicking and make high resolution color information without aliasing artifacts. Because the proposed system uses the common Bayer CFA image sensor, fabricating a new type of CFA is not necessary for obtaining a multi-spectral image, which can be easily extensible for applications of multi-spectral imaging. Finally, in order to verify the performance of the proposed system, experimental results are performed. By comparing with the existing demosaicking methods, the proposed camera system showed the significant improvements in the sense of color resolution.

In order to geometrically correct high-resolution satellite imagery, the sensor modeling process that restores the geometric relationship between the satellite sensor and the ground surface at the image acquisition time is required. In general, high-resolution satellites provide RPC (Rational Polynomial Coefficient) information, but the vendor-provided RPC includes geometric distortion caused by the position and orientation of the satellite sensor. GCP (Ground Control Point) is generally used to correct the RPC errors. The representative method of acquiring GCP is field survey to obtain accurate ground coordinates. However, it is difficult to find the GCP in the satellite image due to the quality of the image, land cover change, relief displacement, etc. By using image maps acquired from various sensors as reference data, it is possible to automate the collection of GCP through the image matching algorithm. In this study, the RPC of KOMPSAT-3A satellite image was corrected through the extracted matching point using the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehichle) imagery. We propose a pre-porocessing method for the extraction of matching points between the UAV imagery and KOMPSAT-3A satellite image. To this end, the characteristics of matching points extracted by independently applying the SURF (Speeded-Up Robust Features) and the phase correlation, which are representative feature-based matching method and area-based matching method, respectively, were compared. The RPC adjustment parameters were calculated using the matching points extracted through each algorithm. In order to verify the performance and usability of the proposed method, it was compared with the GCP-based RPC correction result. The GCP-based method showed an improvement of correction accuracy by 2.14 pixels for the sample and 5.43 pixelsfor the line compared to the vendor-provided RPC. In the proposed method using SURF and phase correlation methods, the accuracy of sample was improved by 0.83 pixels and 1.49 pixels, and that of line wasimproved by 4.81 pixels and 5.19 pixels, respectively, compared to the vendor-provided RPC. Through the experimental results, the proposed method using the UAV imagery presented the possibility as an alternative to the GCP-based method for the RPC correction.

Recently, it is essential to have the system which can track down and identity the random object in the space in which security is a high priority. Due to the fact that we mentioned above, in this paper. We suggest the intelligent video surveillance system effective image-process-education in this paper. The experiment was conducted to check and track down the entering vehicle. And, Pan-Tilt-Zoom camera was used to obtain the enlarged image of the object while a vehicle was making stop in target area. As a result, the experiment has shown the data as following. When the object is in motion, success rate is 97.4%, while success rate is 91% when the object is motionless. By using the suggested system, effective image-process-education is should be achieved because the students who participate in the class can have simultaneous access to the system for real time image data and camera control.

The first Korean remote sensing satellite, Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT-1), is going to be launched in 1999. This will carry a 7m resolution Electro-Optical Camera (EOC) for earth observation. The primary mission of the KOMPSAT-1 is to acquire stereo imagery over the Korean peninsular for the generation of 1:25,000 scale cartographic maps. For this mission, research is being carried out to assess the possibilities of automated or semi-automated mapping of EOC data and to develop, if necessary, such enabling tools. This paper discusses the issue of automated digital elevation model (DEM) generation from EOC data and identifies some important aspects in developing a DEM generation system from EOC data. This paper also presents the current status of the development work for such a system. The development work will be described in three pares of sensor modelling, stereo matching and DEM interpolation. The performance of the system is shown with a SPOT stereo pair. A DEM generated from commercial software is also presented for comparison. The proposed system seems to generate promising results.

지능형 차량 시스템에 있어서 교통 표지판 검출/인식은 매우 중요한 요소들 중의 하나이다. 따라서 주행 중인 차량에서 카메라로부터 취득한 영상을 이용하여 교통 표지판을 인식하는 여러 가지 영상인식 알고리즘들이 개발되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 알고리즘은 표지판의 색상 값이 날씨와 시간에 따른 조도와 컬러의 변화에 따라 성능이 크게 변한다는 점에서 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 환경 변화에 강인한 교통 표지판 검출 및 인식 알고리즘을 제안한다. 구체적으로, 표지판 검출을 위하여 제안하는 알고리즘에서는 색상과 형태 정보를 이용하여 교통 표지판 후보군을 찾는다. 여러 색상 임계값에 대하여 영상 피라미드 형태를 만들고, 모든 피라미드 영상들에 대해서 인식 알고리즘을 수행함으로써 실외 빛에 변화에 강인하게 한다. 교통 표지판 후보군을 찾은 후, 후보군들을 Linear SVM을 통해 학습함으로써 교통 표지판인지 아닌지 분류해낸다. 실험 결과는 제안하는 알고리즘이 정확하게 교통 표지판을 인식하고, 동시에 실외 빛의 변화에 상관없이 강인하게 표지판을 인식함을 보여준다.
