최근 영상 기반 렌더링(image-based rendering)을 위한 새로운 접근방법으로서 광학 흐름 요소 렌더링(optical flow rendering)이 제안되었다. 이 방법은 좌우 영상 대응(stereo matching)에서 발생하는 오류와 무관하게 고품질의 영상을 생성할 수 있고 깊이 정보 비교를 통해 기존의 렌더링 방법으로 생성한 영상과 광학 흐름 요소로부터 생성한 영상을 합성할 수 있는 반면에, 한 화소 당 하나 이상의 광학 흐름 요소를 필요로하기 때문에 연산량이 많아져 영상 생성이 느려지는 단점이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 영상 생성을 위한 광학 흐름 요소 구성법과 영상 생성법을 제안한다. 각각의 광학 흐름 요소가 영상 내에서 화소들의 구간에 대응되도록 개선하여 전체 광학 흐름 요소의 수를 줄였으며, 필터링 탐색법 (filtering search)을 적용하여 전체 광학 흐름 요소를 모두 탐색하는 대신 실제로 영상 생성에 사용되는 광학 흐름 요소만을 탐색함으로써 전체 연산량을 크게 줄였다. 제안된 방법을 SGI Indigo2 Impact 워크스테이션(R10000 CPU; 128 Mbytes)상에서 구현한 결과, 초당 10장 이상의 고속 영상 생성이 가능했다.

We proposed a new method to improve the resolution of elemental image set in the integral imaging system using super-resolution image reconstruction method. Adjacent elemental images have same image region which is projected from the common area of object. These projected images in the elemental image can be used for low resolution images of super-resolution method. Two methods for resolution improvement of elemental image set using super-resolution method are proposed. One is super-resolution among the elemental image sets and the other is among the elemental images. Simulation results are compared with resolution improved elemental image set using interpolated method.

멀티미디어(Multimedia) 시대에 있어 메시지(Message)를 통한 사회적 상호작용, 즉 커뮤니케이션 (Communication)은 시각적인 요소, 색채, 형태, 시간, 움직임 뿐 만 아니라 청각적인 요소도 메시지를 전달하는 표현요소로 자리 잡고 있다. 왜냐하면 시각이나 청각 어느 하나만으로 메시지를 전달할 때보다 시 청각을 조화시켜 메시지를 전달 할 경우에 인지도가 훨씬 높기 때문이다. 그리하여 본 연구는 영상 커뮤니케이션이 가지고 있는 시 청각적 요소들의 연관성을 찾고자 하였다. 오늘날 TV 이나 영화 인터넷 등등의 멀티미디어에서 우리는 정보전달과 설득의 영상 메시지들을 쉽게 접할 수 있다. 그 중에 특히 영상메시지의 역할을 극적으로 나타낼 수 있는 광고영상에 속한 시각적 요소 타이포그래피와 청각적 요소 사운드를 통해서 시 청각적 요소의 연관성에 대해 연구하였다. 먼저 다양한 광고영상을 소구방법과 내용에 따른 분류를 통해 분야별로 나누고 그 분야에 따른 시 청각요소의 사용 빈도와 유형을 조사하였다. 타이포그래피는 전달방법에 따라, 사운드는 사용 유형에 따라 나누어 빈도와 유형을 조사하였다. 영상의 시각요소와 청각요소의 적절한 사용이 수용자로 하여금 선호도 및 인지도에 높은 효과가 있다는 분석 결과를 가지고 국내와 국외 광고영상의 시 청각요소의 분포도를 조사, 분석하였다. 그리하여 향후 효과적인 영상 커뮤니케이션의 역할을 하기 위해 시 청각요소의 연관성을 고려한 효율적인 광고영상 제작방향을 제시하고자 한다.

In this paper, we propose a depth conversion method for orthoscopic real image reconstruction in integral imaging. Pseudoscopic image has been regarded a problem in conventional integral imaging. the depth of reconstructed image is depending on a coordinate of an elemental image. The conversion from pseudoscopic to orthoscopic may be possible by analysing the geometrical relation between pickup and reconstruction system of elemental image. The feasibility of the proposed method has been confirmed through preliminary experiments as well as ray optical analysis.

We proposed a new method to improve the resolution of far object image in curving effective integral imaging system. Basically, the curving effective integral imaging(CEII) system can improve the resolution of the reconstructed images with an increased sampling rate of elemental images. However, in the case when an object located far from the lenslet array is picked up, the low resolution of the reconstructed images of the far object has been a primary problem because the sampling rate is very low. In order to solve this drawback, by using the direct pixel mapping(DPM) method the EIA picked up from a far object is transformed into a new EIA that virtually looks like the EIA picked up from the object originally located close to the lenslet array. From this new EIA, highly resolution-enhanced images of far object could be reconstructed in the CEII system. To show the feasibility of the proposed method, simulation results are compared with the conventional method.

In this paper, a new integral imaging method with horizontal parallax only is proposed by modified use of elemental images pickuped from conventional integral imaging. The modified elemental images are obtained by magnifying single horizontal elemental image vertically and from which 3D images could be reconstructed. The proposed method can provide us large reduction of transmission information data for elemental images by eliminating the vertical parallax. The feasibility of our approach is experimentally demonstrated and its results are presented.

In this paper, we propose a generation of 2D elemental images for 3D objects using Kinect in 3D depth-priority integral imaging (DPII) display. First, we analyze a principle to pickup elemental images based on ray optics. Based on our analysis, elemental images are generated with both RGB image and depth image recorded from Kinect. We reconstruct 3D images from the elemental images with the computational integral imaging reconstruction technique and then compare various perspective images. To show the usefulness of the proposed method, we carried out the preliminary experiments. The experimental results reveal that our method can provide correct 3D images with full parallax.

In this paper, we propose a synthesis method of elemental images from Kinect images for 3D integral imaging display. Since RGB images and depth image obtained from Kinect are not able to display 3D images in integral imaging system, we need transform the elemental images in integral imaging display. To do so, we synthesize the elemental images based on the geometric optics mapping from the depth plane images obtained from RGB image and depth image. To show the usefulness of the proposed system, we carry out the preliminary experiments using the two person object and present the experimental results.

Since three-dimensional (3D) images reconstructed in interval imaging technique are related to the resolution of elemental images, there has been a problem that ray information of elemental images increases largely in order to obtain high-resolution 3D images. In this paper, to overcome this problem, a new unidirectional integral imaging based on pinhole model is proposed. Proposed method provides a new type of unidirectional elemental images, which are simply obtained by magnifying single horizontal pixel line of each elemental image to the vertical size of lenslet using ray analysis based on pinhole model and used to display 3D images. In proposed method, reduction effect of the ray information of elemental images can be obtained by scarifying vortical parallax. Feasibility of the proposed scheme is experimentally demonstrated and its results are presented.

Recently various types of curved integral imaging system have been reported for improvement of viewing angle. However, the optical implementation has been limited to only unidirectional system. In this paper, we propose a curved integral imaging (CII) system with additional use of a large-aperture ten in conventional II system and explain a generation scheme of elemental images in the proposed system. The proposed system provides full-directional curvature effect and has simple structure due to the use of well-fabricated flat devices. For the full-directional-curved II system, we perform my analysis based on Johns matrix and synthesize novel elemental images. To show the usefulness of synthesized elemental images, preliminary experiments were performed and some experimental results were presented.
