증강현실이 주목받고 있는 시점에서 현실세계를 3차원으로 가상현실화 하고자 하는 연구가 최근 활발히 진행되고 있다. 현실세계를 CCTV카메라에 담기 위해서는 넓은 시야각을 가진 렌즈가 필요한데, 대안으로써 보통 어안렌즈를 많이 사용한다. 어안렌즈는 시야각을 넓게 하여 정해진 범위 내에 많은 양의 데이터를 활용할 수 있기 때문에 CCTV를 이용한 감시 시스템에 사용된다. 그러나 어안렌즈는 직선성분을 왜곡하여 곡선성분으로 나타내는 경향이 발생하며, 심할 경우 대상을 식별하기가 힘들 수도 있다는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 원 영상이 왜곡된 영상보다 직선성분이 많다는 것에 착안하여 Hough Transform에 의한 직선검출을 이용해 왜곡을 자동으로 보정하고, Calibration 파라미터를 산출하는 기법을 본 논문에서 제안하고, 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose a medical image processing method for detection of periodontal disease. The proposed method is the method of an automatic image alignment and detection of minute changes, to overcome defects in the conventional subtraction radiography by digital image processing technique, that is necessary for getting subtraction image and ROI(Region of Interest) focused on a selection method using the structured features in target images. And the method services accuracy, consistency and objective information or data to results. In result, easily and visually we can identify minute differences in the affected parts whether they have problems or not, and using application system.

This paper proposes a new algorithm of extracting forward vehicle areas using the acquired lanes and road area information on road images with complex background to improve the efficiency of the vehicle detection. In the first stage, lanes are detected by taking into account the connectivity among the edges which are determined from a method of chain code. Once the lanes proceeding to the same direction with the running vehicle are detected, neighborhood roadways are found from the width and vanishing point of the acquired roadway of the running vehicle. And finally, vehicle areas, where forward vehicles are located on the road area including the center and neighborhood roadways, are extracted. Therefore, the proposed scheme of extracting forward vehicle area improves the rate of vehicle detection on the road images with complex background, and is highly efficient because of detecting vehicles within the confines of the acquired vehicle area. The superiority of the proposed algorithm is verified from experiments of the vehicle detection on road images with complex background.

This invention is purposed to provide an innovative solution for the inside of roof structures, which is cultural assets. The Asian old houses generally have several layered roofs on top of the structures. If a fire has started inside of the roof, it is hard to be extinguished before eliminating all the upper layers of the roof. This invention provides pre constructed embedded pipes, which is flammable and easy to be dissolved by the fire. The material of pipe is composed of rubbers, of which the combustion point is so low that the extinguishing of initial fire is possible without additional fire service. The inside of pipe is filled with halon gas. If the filled gas is consumed after ignited by fire, additional fire extinguishing water is supplied. If the flexible pipes are totally combusted by a big fire, the sprinkler at the end of inflexible pipe will work continuously, which is located between flexible and inflexible pipes. The extinguishing pipe network is suggested as dividing whole roof as multiple sections for a swift fire extinguishing in case of intentional or natural fire attack to our invaluable cultural assets.

This paper proposes an efficient algorithm which recognizes the mixed document image consisting of the images, texts, tables, and straight lines. This system is composed of three steps. The first step is the detection of rotation angle for complementing skewed images, the second is detection of erasing an unnecessary background region and last is the classification of each component included in document images. This algorithm performs preprocessing of detecting rotation angles and correcting documents based on the detected rotation angles in order to minimize the error rate by skewness of the documentation. We detected the rotation angie using only horizontal and vertical components in document images and minimized calculation time by erasing unnecessary background region in the detecting process of component of document. In the next step, we classify various components such as image, text, table and line area included in document images. we applied this method to various document images in order to evaluate the performance of document recognition system and show the successful experimental results.

In this paper, we propose method of generation of depth map using vanishing line and texture. vanishing line is generated by parallel lines in image. For generate vanishing line, show boundary of particular angle through Gabor Filter and extract line through Hough Transform. Initial Depth Map is estimated based on vanisihng line and combine Relative Depth map that generated using Texture Cue. The proposed algorithm advanced due to combine Initial Depth Map and Relative Depth Map.

This paper presents a new parametric log line equation of polar form for Hough transform in log-polar plane, in which it can remove the well-known unboundedness problem of Hough parameters. Bolduc's method is used to generate a log-polar image dividing the fovea and periphery from a Cartesian image. Edges of the fovea and periphery are detected by using the Sobel mask and the proposed space-variant gradient mask, and are combined in the log-polar plane. The sampled points that might constitute a log line are quite sparse in a deep peripheral region due to severe under-sampling, which is an inherent property of LPM. To cope with such under-sampling, we determine the values of cumulative cells in Hough space by using the space-variant weighting. In our experiments, the proposed method demonstrates its validity of detecting not only the lines passing through both the fovea and periphery but also the lines in a deep periphery.

To derive grid lines for analyzing a table layout, line image enhancement techniques are studying such as various filtering or morphology methods. In spite of line image enhancement, it is still hard to extract line components and to express table cell's layout logically in which the cutting points are exist on the line or the tables are skewing . In this paper, we proposed a line tracking algorithm to extract line components under the cutting points on the line or the skewing lines. The table document layout analysis algorithm is prepared by searching grid-lines, line crossing points and gird-cell using line tracking algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed method derive 96.4% table document analysis result with average 0.41sec processing times.

For the development of unmanned autonomous vehicle, it is essential to detect obstacles, especially vehicles, in the forward direction of navigation. In order to reliably exclude regions that do not contain obstacles and save a considerable amount of computational effort, it is often necessary to confine computation only to ROI(region of interest)s. A ROI is usually chosen as the interior region of the lane. We propose a computationally simple and efficient method for the detection of lanes based on Hough transform and quadratic curve fitting. The proposed method first employs Hough transform to get approximate locations of lanes, and then applies quadratic curve fitting to the locations computed by Hough transform. We have experimented the proposed method on real outdoor road scene. Experimental results show that our method gives accurate detection of straight and curve lanes, and is computationally very efficient.
