The paper actualizes the twin camera module system that is portable and very useful for the production of 3D contents. The suggested twin camera module system is a system to be able to display the 3D image after converting the inputted image from 2D stereo camera. To evaluate the performance of the twin camera module suggested in this paper, I assessed the correction of Rotation and Tilt created depending on the visual difference between the left and right stereoscopic image shot by the left and right lenses by using the Test Platform. In addition, I verified the efficiency of the twin camera module system through verifying Depth Error of 3D stereoscopic image by means of Scale Invariant Feature Transform(SIFT) algorithm. I think that if the user utilizes the suggested twin camera module system in displaying the image to the external after converting the shot image into the 3D stereoscopic image and the preparation image, it is possible to display the image in a matched way with an output device fit respectively for different 3D image production methods and if the user utilizes the system in displaying the created image in the form of the 3D stereoscopic image and the preparation image via different channels, it is possible to produce 3D image contents easily and conveniently with applying to lots of products.

Most 3D displays that are currently in the market adopt the binocular disparity method creating a different image for the left and right eye for a 3 dimensional effect. However, commercialized 3D image output devices lack in performance making it uncomfortable for the viewer and restrict the viewer to certain positions. In this paper, we propose a single-cell polarized lens type stereoscopic system which has a smaller viewing angle and reduced crosstalk, with improved light penetration compared to existing double-cell structures; and analyzed the single-cell polarized lens type stereoscopic system properties, and conducted an effect analysis of performance improvement compared to the dual-cell type. Results showed that the single-cell type had a 25% improved performance, and the 3D crosstalk index which is an important index for quality characteristics of stereoscopic systems, increased over about 37%, compared to the dual-cell type.

Many studies tried to develop a 3D display based stereo test as a substitute for the conventional stereo test. Although many 3D monitor based stereo tests have various advantages over the conventional stereo tests with printed stimuli, they have a crucial limitation in manipulating disparity. The least value for disparity manipulation is one pixel, which is too big to screen the normal stereo acuity in pc environment with a short viewing distance. In this explorative study, a Gabor image was employed as a test stimulus, because its position can be manipulated by changing its phase information, which allows sub-pixel manipulation for disparity. Instead of employing the methods of the conventional stereo tests where measurement was made only once for each of a wide range of disparity values, 10 replications were administrated for each of 6 disparity levels. The results from the test using Gabor images were compared with those using random dot stimulus because the latter stimulus was exactly the same as that of the conventional stereo test. The correlation coefficient between two tests was found to be moderate. After one month later, the whole test was repeated in the same settings. The correlation coefficient between test and retest results from Gabor images was found to be as high as that from a random dot stimulus, implying high test-retest reliability. These results suggest that a Gabor stimulus could be used as a test stimulus for the valid and reliable stereo test, even in the limited condition, such as 3D environment with a short viewing distance and a condition for evaluating the stereo acuity very precisely.

3차원 디스플레이 시스템에 대한 연구는 입체 영상이 높은 해상도와 넓은 시야각을 갖도록 하기 위하여 다양한 방식으로 활발히 진행되고 있다. 1908년 Lippmann에 의하여 제안된 Integral photography(IP)는 특별한 안경이 필요하지 않고 연속적인 시점을 제공한다는 장점을 갖고 있다. 제안된 당시에는 기록 및 재생 매체로 사진 건판을 사용하여 동영상의 재생이 불가능하였지만, 최근 사진 건판 대신 CCD 카메라와 LCD 패널을 기록 및 재생 매체로 사용함으로써 동영상이 가능한 IP 시스템이 제안되었다. (중략)

A chameleonic surface proposed in this study was a pin-art and 3D display device for generating arbitrary shapes. A smooth and continuous surface was formed using slim telescopic actuators and high-elasticity composite material. Realistic 3D shapes were continuously generated by projecting dynamic mapping images on the surface. A slim telescopic actuator was designed to show long strokes and minimize area for staking. A 3D shape was formed by thrusting and extruding the high-elasticity material using multiple telescopic actuators. This structure was advantageous for generating arbitrary continuous surface, projecting dynamic images and lightening weight. Because of real-time synchronization, a distributed controller based on EtherCAT was applied to operate hundreds of telescopic actuators smoothly. Integrated operating software consecutively generated realistic scenes by coordinating extruded shapes and projecting 3D image from multiple projectors. An opera content was optimized for the chameleon surface and showed to an audience in an actual concert.

In this paper, we propose a optical property correction technique for a low-cost heterogeneous stereoscopic camera. Three main optical properties of a stereoscopic camera are zoom, focus, and DOF(depth of field). The difference or mis-match of these properties between two stereoscopic videos are the main causes of the visual fatigue to human eyes. The proposed correction technique reduces the difference of the optical properties between the stereoscopic videos and produces high-quality stereoscopic videos. To correct the zoom difference, a LUT(look-up table) is established to match the zoom ratio between the stereoscopic videos. To correct the DOF difference, the magnitude of image edge is measured and the lens iris is changed to control the DOF of the camera. A vertical-type stereoscopic rig is developed for the experiments of the optical property correction. Based on the experimental results, we find that a low-cost heterogeneous stereoscopic camera can be implemented, which can yield low visual fatigue to human eyes.

최근, 실감 영상에 대한 관심과 요구가 증가하면서 신개념 서비스인 3차원 다시점(Multi-view) 방송에 대한 연구가 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 이와 더불어 광고와 게시를 목적으로 입체 영상과 입체 디스플레이 장치의 수요가 증가하고 있어, 앞으로 다시점 영상 콘텐츠와 디스플레이 장치가 활발하게 보급될 전망이다. 다시점 영상 콘텐츠는 제작 단계에서 컴퓨터 그래픽스 객체를 합성하면 보다 목적에 부합하는 콘텐츠를 제작할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 다시점 카메라로부터 얻은 RGB 텍스쳐 데이터와 깊이 테이터에 컴퓨터 그래픽스 객체를 합성하여 다시점 합성 영상을 생성하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 제작된 다시점 합성 영상을 검증하고 재생하는 다시점 비디오 뷰어를 설계, 구현 한다. 가상의 다시점 영상에 그래픽스 객체를 합성하는 방법은 후 합성 기반으로, 임의의 그래픽스 객체 모델을 생성하여 깊이 정보를 부여하고, 가상 시점 영상의 생성과 동일한 방법으로 그래픽스 객체의 각 시점별 영상을 생성한다. 끝으로 깊이정보를 사용하여 가상 시점 영상의 적절한 좌표공간으로 그래픽스 객체를 삽입한다. 그래픽스 합성의 정확성 검증을 위해 다시점 그래픽스 합성 영상을 디스플레이하는 뷰어는 2D 및 입체를 모두 지원하고, view switching, frozen moment, view sweeping 등의 interactive special effect기법과 다양한 포맷의 저장이 가능하다. 또한, 입체 영상의 실험에서는 그래픽 객체의 입체감 조절을 위해 실제 카메라 시점 간에 필요한 중간시점영상의 개수를 결정할 수 있다.

디스플레이 장치와 영상 기술의 발전으로 3D 입체 영상에 대한 관심과 기술적 접근이 어느 때 보다 활발하다. 입체 영상의 경우 통상 복수의 평면 영상을 이용하여 합성하게 되는데 이 과정에서 각 영상의 객관적 화질을 서로 달리 함으로써 주관적 화질을 향상시킬 수 있다는 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 객관적 화질을 지나치게 달리 하거나 전반적으로 낮은 화질의 영상에서는 경계선이 제대로 재현되지 않아 입체감을 떨어뜨리는 문제가 발생한다. 또한 기존의 연구는 스테레오 영상에 한해서만 위의 가설을 검증하였으나 최근의 입체 영상에 관한 연구는 스테레오 영상뿐만 아니라 다시점 영상에서도 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 스테레오 영상과 9시점 영상에서의 비대칭 영상 부호화가 주관적 화질에 미치는 영향을 검증하고 구체적으로 어느 정도의 객관적 화질 차이를 유지하는 것이 비대칭 부호화에서 가장 효율적인지를 밝힌다. 또한 기존의 비대칭 영상 부호화와 비교하여 주관적 화질을 개선할 수 있는 더욱 효율적인 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안되는 알고리듬은 경계선의 강도를 기준으로 매크로블록의 양자화 파라미터를 달리 하여 영상의 경계선을 보호하는 방법으로써 기존의 비대칭 영상 부호화보다 더욱 향상된 주관적 화질을 얻을 수 있다.

Purpose: This study investigated differences in stereoscopic fusional area between those with good and poor stereo acuity in viewing stereoscopic displays. Methods: Stereo acuity of 39 participants (18 males and 21 females, $23.6{\pm}3.15years$) was measured with the random dot stereo butterfly method. Participants with stereo-blindness were not included. Stereoscopic fusional area was measured using stereoscopic stimulus by varying the amount of horizontal disparity in a stereoscopic 3D TV. Participants were divided into two groups of good and poor stereo acuity. Criterion for good stereo acuity was determined as less than 60 arc seconds. Measurements arising from the participants were statistically analyzed. Results: 26 participants were measured to have good stereo acuity and 13 participants poor stereo acuity. In case of the stereoscopic stimulus farther than the fixation point, threshold of horizontal disparity for those with poor stereo acuity were measured to be smaller than the threshold for those with good stereo acuity, with a statistically significant difference. On the other hand, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups, in case of the stereoscopic stimulus nearer to the fixation point. Conclusions: In viewing stereoscopic displays, the boundary of stereoscopic fusional area for the poor stereo acuity group was smaller than the boundary of good stereo acuity group only for the range behind the display. Hence, in viewing stereoscopic displays, participants with poor stereo acuity would have more difficulty perceiving the fused image at farther distances compared to participants with good stereo acuity.
