카메라 캘리브레이션은 비젼(vision) 시스템의 광학왜곡을 보정하기 위해, 영상 좌표계와 실세계 좌표계간의 변환관계를 정의해 주는 mapping을 구하는 과정으로 카메라를 이용한 측정, 검사, 위치보정 등의 응용에서 매우 중요하다. 카메라 캘리브레이션 방법으로 많이 사용되는 Tsai 알고리즘은 여러 카메라 내부 상수들을 필요로 하며, 적절한 활용을 위해서는 이에 대한 이해와 카메라와 렌즈왜곡의 모델에 대한 사전지식을 요한다. 본 논문에서는 카메라나 렌즈왜곡에 대한 모델이나 가정없이, 영상좌표와 실세계 좌표간의 변환을 고차(higher order) polynomial을 이용하여 구현하여 사용이 손쉬운 카메라 캘리브레이션 방법을 소개하고 성능을 평가하였다. 성능 평가 결과, 3차 polynomial을 이용한 카메라 캘리브레이션 방법이 Tsai알고리즘보다 정밀도에서 우수하였다.

In this paper, we propose a simple auto calibration method for a CCD camera with wide an91e lens that causes high degree of distortion. We formulate a cubic warping equation for the relationship between the cross points on the distorted calibration target and the corresponding points from the standard grid image, and calibrate distorted images using the computed parameters. The experiment has been performed with the distorted images resulted from wide angle CCD camera. The experimental results show that the proposed method, in terms of the average and maximum distorted error, has higher accuracy than the existing methods because of maintaining the calibration ratio more than 95 percent. The proposed method is applicable to wide variety of images regardless a type of lens or distortion.

In this paper, this study restores the distorted image to its original image by compensating for the distortion of image from a fixed-focus camera lens. The various developments and applications of the imaging devices and the image sensors used in a wide range of industries and expanded use, but due to the needs of the small size and light weight of the camera, the distortion from acquiring images of the distorted curvature of the lens tends to affect many. In particular, the three-dimensional imaging camera, each different distortion of left and right lens cause the degradation of three-dimensional sensitivity and left-right image distortion ratio. we approached the way of generalizing the approximate equations to restore each part of left-right camera images to the coordinators of the original images. The adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System is configured for it. This system is divided from each membership function and is inferred by 1st order Sugeno Fuzzy model. The result is that the compensated images close to the left, right original images. Using low-cost and compact imaging lens by which also determine the exact three-dimensional image-sensing capabilities and will be able to expect from this study.

Due to the fact that fish-eye lens can provide super wide angles with the minimum number of cameras, field-of-view over 180 degrees, many vehicles are attempting to mount the camera system. Camera calibration should be preceded, and geometrical correction on the radial distortion is needed to provide the images for the driver's assistance. However, vehicle fish-eye cameras have diagonal output images rather than circular images and have asymmetric distortion beyond the horizontal angle. In this paper, we introduce a camera model and metric calibration method for vehicle cameras which uses feature points of the image. And undistort the input image through a perspective projection, where straight lines should appear straight. The method fitted vehicle fish-eye lens with different field of views.

In this paper, camera modules and lens's images were analyzed for the compensation of distortion image by wide angle lens based WDR(Wide Dynamic Range) with high resolution sensor(2-Mega CMOS Image sensor). Due to wide angle ($176^{\circ}$) of designed wide angle camera modules, the compensation result of distorted image was analyzed, and the application of these modules was proposed for smart NUX(Natural User eXprience).

In this paper a calibration method is proposed for calibrating distorted image from lens and various factors. The similar origin image can be generated by the proposed method that calculate a calibration coefficient by modeling third transformation between standard image and distorted image and then apply the coefficient to distorted image The coefficient is effective until camera position is changed or lens is exchanged. This research consists of processes to calculate calibration coefficient and to set similar real image by the coefficient. Proposed method especially is applied to a system to obtain a real image from a distorted image causing effects of special system environment and camera lens The advantage of this method is verified by experiment using distorted images from a CCD camera that will attach atomic pile.

In this paper, we experimentally investigated the precision of 3D positioning using 4S-Van images in photograrmmetric perspective. The 3D calibration target was built over building facade outside and was captured separately by two CCD cameras installed in 4S-Van. After then, we determined the interior orientation parameter for each CCD camera through self-calibration technique. With the interior orientation parameter computed, the bundle adjustment was performed to obtain the exterior orientation parameters simultaneously for two CCD cameras using calibration target image and object coordinates. The reverse lens distortion coefficients were computed and acquired by least squares method so as to introduce lens distortion into epipolar line. It was shown that the reverse lens distortion coefficients could transform image coordinates into lens distorted image coordinates within about 0.5 pixel. The proposed semi-automatic matching scheme incorporated with lens distorted epipolar line was implemented with scene images captured by 4S-Van in moving. The experimental results showed that the precision of 3D positioning from 4S-Van images in photograrmmetric perspective is within 2cm in the range of 20m from the camera.

일반적으로 카메라는 좁은 시각 영역(field of view)를 가짐으로 인해, 넓은 영역의 뷰를 얻기 위해서는 모터를 이용하여 카메라를 팬/틸트시키는 것이 일반적이다. 하지만, 이들은 아직까지 기계적으로 카메라를 직접 움직여 원하는 영역의 영상을 보여주기 때문에, 내구성이 떨어지며 생산 원가도 많이 든다. 또한 움직임으로 인한 모션 블러 현상도 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 한번에 보은 지역을 촬영할 수 있고, 비기계적으로 팬/틸트가 가능한 카메라 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 한번의 촬영으로 널은 영역을 얻기 위해, 어안렌즈를 CCD 센서와 항께 사용한다. 또한, 어안렌즈(fish-eye lens)를 통해 얻은 왜곡된 영상을 와핑 기술을 이용해 편 다음, 원하는 부분의 영상을 보여준다. 본 논문은 TI사의 TMS320DSC25 프로세서로 구현하였으며, 어안 렌즈 캘리브레이션 및 실시간 왜곡 보정, 영상 출력을 위한 방법을 소개한다.

The parameters of lens such as focal length, focus, and aperture stop changes while shooting the scenes with zoom lens. Especially, zooming action dramatically changes the geometry of lens system that causes significant change of lens model. We investigated how the lens model changes while zooming in general shooting condition. Each parameters of lens model was estimated and checked whether they can be modeled well in the condition of auto-controlling focus, aperture and vibration reduction. In order to do this, calibration images were taken, modeled in different fecal length setting. And changing patterns of models were inspected to find out if there is some elements that have some particular pattern in changing with respect to focal length. The result showed us that although we didn't control the focus and aperture setting, there's specific changing patterns in radial and do-centering distortion. Especially, the strong linear correlation was found between coefficient of $r^2$ and focal length. It is expected that many parts of distortion can be eliminated without additional self calibration even if zoom operation is done when shooting the scenes if we know its fecal length and model of this coefficient.

A surface image velocimeter (SIV) measures the velocity of a particle group by calculating the intensity distribution of the particle group in two consecutive images of the water surface using a cross-correlation method. Therefore, to increase the accuracy of the flow velocity calculated by a SIV, it is important to accurately calculate the displacement of the particle group in the images. In other words, the change in the physical distance of the particle group in the two images to be analyzed must be accurately calculated. In the image of an actual river taken using a camera, camera lens distortion inevitably occurs, which affects the displacement calculation in the image. In this study, we analyzed the effect of camera lens distortion on the displacement calculation using a dense and uniformly spaced grid board. The results showed that the camera lens distortion gradually increased in the radial direction from the center of the image. The displacement calculation error reached 8.10% at the outer edge of the image and was within 5% at the center of the image. In the future, camera lens distortion correction can be applied to improve the accuracy of river surface flow rate measurements.
