디지털 카메라를 이용하여 인체의 영상을 촬영하여 3D 인체를 계측하는 영상 계측 방법을 제안한다. 영상 계측을 위해 인체 촬영 환경을 설정하고, 정면, 측면, 후면의 인체 2D 영상을 촬영하여 사영투영을 고려하여 3D 인체를 추정하는 알고리즘을 개발한다. 인체 계측의 항목 중 40항목에 대해 직접 계측, 영상 계측, 3D 계측을 3인이 교대로 시행한 결과를 비교하고 있다. 계측자별, 계측 방법별로 비교할 때, 영상 계측은 최대오차 0.44cm로 3D 계측(허용오차 0.5cm)와 유사하여, 직접 계측에 비해 우수한 성능을 나타내고 있다. 이것은 영상 계측에서 사영투영을 이용하여 인체의 3D위치를 추정하여 계측 결과를 보정하고 있기 때문이다. 또한, 계측치 이외에 계측 장비, 비용, 기동성, 인력 부담등 여러 가지면 에서도 영상 계측은 장점을 고루 갖춘 방법으로 인체 계측에 사용할 수 있는 새로운 방법으로 기대된다.

This paper proposes an indoor location positioning system for the image recognition based LBS. The proposed system is a vision-based location positioning system that is implemented the augmented reality by overlaying the location results with the view of the user. For implementing, the proposed system uses the pattern matching and location model to recognize user location from images taken by a wearable mobile PC with camera. In the proposed system, the system uses the pattern matching and location model for recognizing a personal location in image sequences. The system is estimated user location by the image sequence matching and marker detection methods, and is recognized user location by using the pre-defined location model. To detect marker in image sequences, the proposed system apply to the adaptive thresholding method, and by using the location model to recognize a location, the system can be obtained more accurate and efficient results. Experimental results show that the proposed system has both quality and performance to be used as an indoor location-based services(LBS) for visitors in various environments.

A model based approach of tracking the limbs of a walking human subject is proposed in this paper. The tracking process begins by building a data base composed of conditional probabilities of motions between the limbs of a walking subject. With a suitable amount of video footage from various human subjects included in the database, a probabilistic model characterizing the relationships between motions of limbs is developed. The motion tracking of a test subject begins with identifying and tracking limbs from the surveillance video image using the edge and silhouette detection methods. When occlusion occurs in any of the limbs being tracked, the approach uses the probabilistic motion model in conjunction with the minimum cost based edge and silhouette tracking model to determine the motion of the limb occluded in the image. The method has shown promising results of tracking occluded limbs in the validation tests.

This paper proposes a method to calibrate a thermal camera with three different perspectives. In particular, the intrinsic parameters of the camera and re-projection errors were provided to quantify the accuracy of the calibration result. Three lenses of the camera capture the same image, but they are not overlapped, and the image resolution is worse than the one captured by the RGB camera. In computer vision, camera calibration is one of the most important and fundamental tasks to calculate the distance between camera (s) and a target object or the three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of a point in a 3D object. Once calibration is complete, the intrinsic and the extrinsic parameters of the camera(s) are provided. The intrinsic parameters are composed of the focal length, skewness factor, and principal points, and the extrinsic parameters are composed of the relative rotation and translation of the camera(s). This study estimated the intrinsic parameters of thermal cameras that have three lenses of different perspectives. In particular, image enhancement based on a deep learning algorithm was carried out to improve the quality of the calibration results. Experimental results are provided to substantiate the proposed method.

In this paper. we Present an estimation method of a face pose by using two camera images. First, it finds corresponding facial feature points of eyebrow, eye and lip from two images After that, it computes three dimensional location of the facial feature points by using the triangulation method of stereo vision techniques. Next. it makes a triangle by using the extracted facial feature points and computes the surface normal vector of the triangle. The surface normal of the triangle represents the direction of the face. We applied the computed face pose to display a 3D face model. The experimental results show that the proposed method extracts correct face pose.

Augmented reality is a technology that makes a virtual object appear as if it exists in reality by composing a virtual object in real time with the image captured by the camera. In order to augment the virtual object on the object existing in reality, the homography of images utilized to estimate the position and orientation of the object. The homography can be estimated by applying the RANSAC algorithm to the feature points of the images. But the homography estimation method using the RANSAC algorithm has a problem that accurate homography can not be estimated when there are many feature points in the background. In this paper, we propose a method to filter feature points of a background when the object is near and the background is relatively far away. First, we classified the depth image into relatively near region and a distant region using the Otsu's method and improve homography estimation performance by filtering feature points on the relatively distant area. As a result of experiment, processing time is shortened 71.7% compared to a conventional homography estimation method, and the number of iterations of the RANSAC algorithm was reduced 69.4%, and Inlier rate was increased 16.9%.

This paper proposes a novel indoor positioning system (IPS) that uses a calibrated camera sensor network and dense 3D map information. The proposed IPS information is obtained by generating a bird's-eye image from multiple camera images; thus, our proposed IPS can provide accurate position information when objects (e.g., the mobile robot or pedestrians) are detected from multiple camera views. We evaluate the proposed IPS in a real environment with moving objects in a wireless camera sensor network. The results demonstrate that the proposed IPS can provide accurate position information for moving objects. This can improve the localization performance for mobile robot operation.
